“Brother-in-law…”
Huo Tian’s face instantly turned pale. Her hands were clutching her dress, and she could not speak clearly.
“Get out.”
Huo Yunque did not even look at those people, as if they were strangers who were not related by blood.
“Brother-in-law! You’re doing this because of someone like her…” Huo Tian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She was embarrassed to be faceslapped in public. All her brothers and sisters were waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Huo Tian bit her lower lip and looked in a certain direction.
There sat a beautiful woman who was about 25-years-old. She was dressed like a strong woman.
“Huo Qi.”
Huo Yunque did not say a word. His tone was cold as he stroked Song Yaoyao’s face with his fingers. “Are you angry?”
The man’s cold voice hid a gentleness that he had never shown to others.
“No.”
Song Yaoyao shook her head and gently pulled on his sleeve. “I’m just a little surprised.”
“They will leave after New Year’s dinner. If you don’t want to see them, I’ll tell them to leave right now.”
Huo Yunque caressed her head. “You’re the hostess here. You can do whatever you want.”
Huo Tian’s expression froze for a moment. She pursed her lips and quickly returned to normal.
Huo Qi walked over and said politely, “Miss Huo Tian, the Master would like to ask you to leave.”
“I’m not leaving!”
Huo Tian’s eyes were red. She stomped her feet and said in embarrassment, “I’m just telling the truth! Why should I leave? I want to see Grandfather. Grandfather will definitely help me!”
“Tiantian!”
The middle-aged woman glared at her. It was not appropriate to scold her in front of so many people.
“Miss Huo Tian,” Huo Qi smiled and did not look at the others. “If you don’t leave, then I can only offend you.”
“You— How dare you!” Huo Tian gritted her teeth.
He was just a servant. What right did he have to say such words to her.
“Huo Qi, wait a moment.”
The woman who had been sitting quietly in the corner suddenly stood up. Her voice was gentle, and her smile was generous and decent.
“It’s New Year’s Eve today, there’s no need to make such a fuss, right? Brother Yunque, Tiantian just got off the plane today, and she even brought you a gift when she came. She’s young, please forgive her this once.”
Dai Shiqing tried to reason with Huo Yunque, but Huo Yunque’s expression did not change.
Instead, his expression was even more indifferent.
Dai Shiqing curled up the hands by her side, and her gaze fell on Song Yaoyao.
“Your name is Yaoyao? I’ve heard about you. I’m sorry, Tiantian’s words were quite harsh, I apologize to you on her behalf. Please help her plead with Brother Yunque. She’s still young and sensitive. If she’s really kicked out, she’ll probably cry.”
“Sister Qingqing!” Huo Tian stomped her feet with a red face and took the opportunity to steal a glance at Song Yaoyao.
Song Yaoyao blinked innocently and leaned closer to Huo Yunque.
This person was really a little baffling. The dimples on her cheeks were deep. She was not interested in Huo Tian, but rather, she was very interested in this graceful and decent woman in front of her.
Dai Shiqing looked at Song Yaoyao, and a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.
She looked like a little fool. She was already humiliated in public, yet she could still laugh. She looked like a soft bun at first glance, but this was just right.
“Stop fooling around! Apologize to your uncle obediently and come over quickly!”
Dai Shiqing seemed to treat herself as the hostess. She waved at Huo Tian and called her over.
Huo Tian, who didn’t even listen to her parents, pouted and walked to Dai Shiqing reluctantly.
