Chapter 580: My Heart Aches For You
Everyone knew that the famous Mr. Huo was powerful and mighty. He could cause economic turmoil with just a stomp of his feet, and his businesses were spread all over the world. He had long jumped out of the so-called rich and powerful circle and was a true n.o.ble.
But because of this, he was so G.o.dly that everyone forgot he wasn’t a real G.o.d; that he could grow old, get sick, and die.
Heart ache…
What a touching and gentle term.
…
All the way until 8 in the morning, the two people who were supposed to appear did not appear.
Grandfather Huo knocked on the table. Ignoring the different expressions on everyone’s faces, he said calmly, “Let’s eat.”
He took the lead to pick up his chopsticks. The others only dared to move when they saw him move.
The dining room was silent. These people had excellent manners. There was not even the sound of bowls and chopsticks clas.h.i.+ng.
The more they acted like this, the more depressed they became.
Dai s.h.i.+qing hesitated for a moment and asked softly, “Don’t you need to ask Mr. Huo to come down for breakfast? It’s not good for his stomach if he doesn’t eat breakfast.”
As soon as she said this, Gu Fenlan furrowed her brows and glanced at her.
At this moment, Grandfather Huo also raised his eyebrows. His expression was gentle and kind.
However, what he said didn’t make anyone feel the slightest warmth. “Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Dai to call for him.”
Hearing this, Gu Fenlan stole a glance at Grandfather Huo with a strange expression. Her instincts told her that this was definitely not a good thing.
Moreover, Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao had not been around in the morning. They were all experienced people; who wouldn’t know what had happened? Gu Fenlan grabbed Dai s.h.i.+qing and forced a smile. “There’s no need for that. Yunque usually works so hard, and it’s not easy for him to have a day off. Let’s not disturb him. Let him sleep.”
As she said this, she pulled Dai s.h.i.+qing’s hand slightly harder, and her nails dug into her flesh.
Dai s.h.i.+qing groaned in pain. She pursed her lips and met Gu Fenlan’s frighteningly cold warning gaze.
“Haha!” Grandfather Huo laughed. “You’re the only one who knows how to dote on others. Come, let’s eat.”
These words were clearly slapping Dai s.h.i.+qing’s face.
It was as if they were silently telling everyone how self-indulgent Dai s.h.i.+qing was.
“Oh, right.” Grandfather Huo narrowed his eyes as he forced a smile. “If there’s anything you don’t like, just say it. These are all things that Yaoyao likes to eat. They might not be to your taste.”
His words did not hide his love for Song Yaoyao at all.
Dai s.h.i.+qing pursed her lips. “Grandfather, you don’t have to be so polite. The Huo Family’s chefs are all very good. I can’t even eat such delicious food outside!”
Huo Zexi rolled his eyes. The Huo family’s chefs were indeed one-of-a-kind, but to say that they could not eat delicious food outside was a little forceful.
“Eat more if it’s delicious. You’re leaving today. Before you leave, you can tell the kitchen what you want to eat and ask them to make you a meal that you like.”
“Pfff…” Huo Zexi’s shoulders shook violently. It was very hard for him to hold in his laughter.
How was Dai s.h.i.+qing so shameless? Couldn’t she see that no one in the Huo Family welcomed her? How did she have the confidence that she could take over the family?
Dai s.h.i.+qing closed her eyes. Her hand was about to bleed from Gu Fenlan’s grip.
She smiled. “Yes, thank you, Grandfather.”
After that, she did not say anything else.
After the meal, Gu Fenlan immediately pulled Dai s.h.i.+qing away. As soon as they were out of everyone’s sight, she raised her hand and gave her a slap.
A crisp slap reverberated through the corner of the corridor.
After getting slapped, Dai s.h.i.+qing covered her face and turned her head. “Auntie?”
