Chapter 333: Did He Look Like He Was Broke??
The moment she opened the door, she was besieged by a sea of pink. Sure enough, it was the same decor as her old room.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. She opened the balcony door and walked out. After glancing around, she noticed the villa next door and was stunned.
She veered her eyes away quickly before heading back into her room. All her belongings from the old apartment were already here, so she started to unpack.
She received a text notification halfway through.
Huo Yao walked over to pick up her phone and saw it was a text from Huo Yulin.
Lin: [Yao, I have sent the revision material. It will probably reach in a week. Let me know when you receive it.]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched instantly.
She had just gotten a.s.sailed by the pink room, and now her third older brother was tormenting her with the study material.
Huo Yao replied quickly: [Brother Yulin, we just moved today. Did you mail it to the old address?]
Huo Yulin was caught by surprise: [Yeah. Why the sudden move?]
Huo Yao pulled out a chair and sat down before she texted: [Mom and Dad said it was time to s.h.i.+ft places.]
She paused before adding: [It doesn’t matter if you sent it to the old address. I’ll just tell the delivery guy to bring it over when he calls.]
[Okay. Send me the new address.]
Huo Yao retrieved the villa access card her mother had given her and sent Huo Yulin the address printed on it.
[Oh yes. I sent you the incense a few days ago. It should be arriving soon.]
[Sure. Thanks, Yao.]
Huo Yulin stopped chatting after sending the last text message. He put down the phone, leaned his head against the couch, and looked up at the ceiling. He suddenly found the place empty.

Huo Yao managed to straighten out her room slightly before heading downstairs.
Her father was standing at the door talking to someone when she came down. Huo Yao threw a glance at him and then veered her eyes away. She turned to enter the dining room.
There were over ten dishes on the table, which had been ordered in.
Song Ning set the table as she said, “Yaoyao, ask your brothers about when they are coming home. Couldn’t they have come back earlier since we are moving today?”
“Okay.”
Huo Yao retrieved her phone from her pocket and called both of them. Before long, she hung up and said, “Brother Xiang is almost here. Brother Tingrui just left work and will be home in 30 minutes or so.”
“Are you hungry? You can start without them if you are,” asked Song Ning.
“I’m good.” Huo Yao shook her head.
She poured a gla.s.s of warm water, leaned against the wall lazily, and looked at her father. He had just finished the conversation at the door and was walking back in.
“Are they asking to buy the house again?” asked Song Ning after glancing at her husband.
Huo Jinyan came closer before shrugging helplessly with his palms in the air. “Yeah. I’ve already rejected them so many times, but they refuse to give up.”
Song Ning’s lips twitched. “What’s wrong with them? Why do they want our place so badly?”
“In any case, they look like dumba.s.ses to me. They were willing to pay two times the market value. Wouldn’t it be smarter to buy a brand new place? I really don’t get it.” Huo Jinyan shook his head.
Moreover, did he look like he needed money?
They were simply obtuse!
“You had better be careful. Don’t open the door for them anymore. What if they are scammers?” said Song Ning as she frowned seriously.
“Yeah, got it.” Huo Jinyan waved his hand.
Huo Yao listened quietly without contributing to the conversation.
