Would his uncle punish him for this?
What were these people thinking? Was his uncle a devil in their eyes?
“Oh?”
Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows. He leaned elegantly and lazily on the sofa, casually playing with a strand of Song Yaoyao’s black hair.
“The Dai Family? That’s interesting…”
He curled his thin lips but he did not smile. He looked cold and stern.
“When did an outsider get the chance to butt in on the Huo family’s business, huh?”
Gu Fenlan was about to faint. She kept winking at her husband, telling him to think of a solution.
However, Huo Yunyi’s legs went weak the moment he saw his younger brother, let alone trying to talk to him.
He lowered his head and pretended not to have seen or heard anything.
Gu Fenlan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she had known earlier, she would not have come back this year! Their entire family relied on this direct descendent to survive. Yet, it was the new year, and she had offended someone.
Did this stupid girl know what she was talking about?!
“Brother Yunque…” Dai Shiqing was continuously slapped in the face. Even though she was a strong woman in public, she still felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
“Pfff…”
A disdainful laugh came from the crowd, and the one who spoke was the boy with the rough voice, “Cousin Dai, my uncle doesn’t even know you, so you don’t have to call him brother Yunque. My Small Auntie is sitting right there. Those that don’t know would think that you want to steal him away from her!”
“This child, how can you talk like that!”
Huo Zexi’s mother didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she tugged at him. “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll deduct your allowance for half a year!”
“Mom! How can you do that?! What I said is the truth!”Huo Zexi complained unhappily.
“Pfff…”
Song Yaoyao smiled and bent down to put her cup down.
Huo Yunque saw it and took it from her hand. “Still want to drink?”
“No.”
Song Yaoyao shook her head and looked at Huo Zexi. “It’s okay. I’ll pay for your pocket money.”
The girl was the same age as him, and her smile was bright and innocent. Huo Zexi’s heart pounded, and he quickly turned his head away.
“Thank you, Small Auntie!”
“Hey, you brat! How can you just accept anything?”
“Why can’t I? Auntie gave me pocket money!”
Huo Zexi’s parents looked at each other and smiled at the gentle and quiet girl.
“Actually, I was just trying to scare him. This kid has a big mouth. If I don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll be a scourge to society in the future!”
“Mom!” Huo Zexi glared at her. “How am I a scourge? I’m a rising star!”
“You little brat, how dare you talk back to me!”
“I didn’t do anything wrong!”Huo Zexi shouted.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Song Yaoyao played with Huo Yunque’s fingers and spoke innocently, but Huo Tian and Dai Shiqing’s expressions changed immediately.
“Don’t talk about him. I think he has a straightforward personality. I like his personality.”
Huo Zexi’s face turned red. He scratched his head and looked at his mother proudly. “See?”
Huo Tian and Dai Shiqing stood at the side as if they were being ignored by everyone.
Seeing the girl sitting next to Huo Yunque acting like the hostess, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Her uncle was such an outstanding man. How could a young girl like her be a match for him? Even if he was looking for a wife, it would have to be a strong woman with outstanding skills like her Sister Qingqing!
