Chapter 178: The Worst Failure
Tong Yu keenly sensed a murderous aura directed towards him when he finished his sentence. He raised his head and looked at Huo Tingrui instinctively, but the latter was wearing a refined smile on his face and seemed innocent.
He veered his eyes away quizzically and felt that his senses must be playing tricks on him since he had been in the flight for too long.
Huo Tingrui wanted to drive them away, but they ended up stuck together. He sighed in his heart before walking towards the arrival hall without saying a word.
He looked dejected from behind.
Soon, all three of them walked out of the arrival hall.
There were a lot of people in the arrival hall, so Tong Yu stood close to Huo Xiang to prevent him from getting recognized, with an almost instinctive vigilance.
Although Huo Tingrui wanted to blow Huo Xiang’s cover shortly after they came out, he automatically walked next to Huo Xiang to help s.h.i.+eld him from some curious gazes as well.
Huo Yao was standing at the end of the crowd with a black mask on her face. She raised her hand and waved the moment she caught sight of Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang.
Since Huo Xiang had barely spent half a day with Huo Yao, he did not recognize her right away. Moreover, she was wearing a mask.
Huo Xiang only recognized her in astonishment when Huo Tingrui walked over and stood in front of her.
“Did you wait for a long time?” asked Huo Tingrui rather gently. He sounded completely different than when he spoke to his brother.
“Not too long,” replied Huo Yao as she pursed her lips. Then her eyes landed on Huo Xiang, and she greeted him. “Brother Xiang.”
There was still a look of shock in Huo Xiang’s eyes. After he composed himself, he said, “Mhm.”
Then he subconsciously looked at his second older brother standing besides him.
Huo Tingrui had already seen this awkward situation coming, so he calmly looked away when Huo Xiang glanced at him.
Huo Xiang, “???”
“Hey, Yao. Do you remember me?” asked Tong Yu.
He beamed when he spotted Huo Yao. This helped in alleviating the uneasiness in the atmosphere.
Huo Yao nodded and said, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Tong Yu.”
A look of surprise swept across Tong Yu’s face as he said, “Wow. You have a good memory and even remembered my name.”
Tong Yu recalled that he barely spent five minutes with Huo Yao when he previously brought gifts to the Huo residence.
Huo Yao smiled while Huo Tingrui disdained Tong Yu for making a fuss over such a small issue.
His sister was a straight-A student. How tough would it be for her to remember one name?
Huo Tingrui cleared his throat and interrupted. “Let’s go. The airport is too crowded. We can talk at home.”
Then he walked off.
After Huo Tingrui reached the exit, he watched all the cars drive off outside until the road became empty. He suddenly recalled that there was actually no car waiting for them.
Huo Tingrui, “!!!”
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
He turned to see Huo Xiang and Tong Yu staring at him as though asking him where the car was?
The situation became really awkward.
Tong Yu composed himself in the end and retrieved his phone. He said, “I’ll get the a.s.sistant to bring the car over.”
Huo Tingrui pressed his forehead. Today must be the worst failure of his life.
After Tong Yu came back after making the call, he glanced at Huo Tingrui before looking at Huo Yao. He recalled how Huo Tingrui had used all kinds of excuses to refuse his suggestion regarding use of the VIP lane and also his attempts to get rid of Huo Xiang and him. His lips twitched suddenly.
Tong Yu felt that he was onto something.
