Chapter 554: It Was Time For Huo Yulin To Come Home
Huo Tingrui was left hurt once more as he glanced at his father quietly. It was clear from the look on his face that he did not want to discuss this.
He pulled out his phone and turned on the internet browser to take a picture of the book cover and ran an image search.
Although he did not understand the contents of the book, he could get it translated electronically.
Huo Jinyan came back with a gla.s.s of water to stand behind his son. “What book is this?”
Huo Tingrui’s phone swiftly translated the text on the image. He was stunned when he discovered the book was ent.i.tled, ‘Clinical Psychology’.
He finally composed himself after some time and raised his head to mutter to his father. “It’s a psychology book.”
Huo Jinyan asked him quizzically. “Clinical psychology? Why are you reading these books?”
Huo Tingrui put his phone down and explained. “It belongs to Yao.”
Huo Jinyan was caught by surprise. Why would his daughter read these books?
She was just a senior. Would she need to study psychology?
Huo Tingrui recollected something and a tender look appeared in his eyes suddenly. It dawned on him that his father would not know the reason she was reading such books. “It’s because Yulin is undergoing psychological treatment.”
His little sister kept doing things behind their backs quietly.
In the same situation, his ex-foster sister, Lu Xia, would probably never remember that her older brother needed psychological therapy, let alone read about it.
Huo Tingrui felt a bit depressed.
Huo Jinyan looked a little morose when he heard Huo Tingrui talking about his third son. His eyes landed on the books in Huo Tingrui’s hands and promptly knew what Huo Tingrui was driving at.
Although his daughter might not be of any help to Huo Yulin by reading these books, she was genuinely concerned about him.
Huo Jinyan’s eyes misted over a little. He held up the gla.s.s, and tilted his head back. He took a big gulp of water to squash the sour taste rising in his throat. After staying quiet briefly, he said, “Take a pic and send it to your third younger brother.”
Huo Tingrui looked at him in surprise.
Huo Jinyan had already composed himself as he sneered. “Show him how worried his little sister is. After gallivanting overseas all these years, it’s about time he came home!”
He flung his hands before he went off with the gla.s.s of water and seemed a little proud from behind.
Huo Tingrui could not help laughing and he shook his head. He veered his eyes from his father and looked at the book again. He felt that it was a good idea.
He held the books and took a picture on his phone for Huo Yulin.
After sending the picture, he told Huo Yulin that their little sister was reading this stuff.
Perhaps Huo Yulin was occupied when Huo Tingrui sent the message, so he did not reply right away. Hence, Huo Tingrui put his phone back in his pocket and went upstairs with the books.

It was Sat.u.r.day the next day.
Huo Yao found the time to solve the questions that the Head of Math had given her previously and did two tests for some other subjects. At slightly past 10:00 am, she received a call from Min Yu.
Since Huo Yao had already told her parents that she was going out for lunch, she went downstairs and left the villa right away after hanging up the phone.
Min Yu’s car was parked outside the villa. Huo Yao straightened her jacket before she opened the back seat car door and got in.
