Chapter 180 - Master Nine Calls
Sun Xiangxiang and Huo Lin"s expressions changed.
Seeing that they were looking at her with disbelief and disdain, the angry Huo Sisi completely panicked.
"Rainy, what nonsense are you talking about! I-I"ve never had such thoughts before."
"You"re the daughter of the Huo Family, and I"m also the daughter of the Huo Family. This is my elder brother. I"ll… y-you—" She looked so angry that she wanted to cry.
"Rainy, if you don"t like me, you can just say it. Why are you slandering me again and again?! You slandered me for hurting you at the banquet. I can admit that as long as I can appease you, but you actually slandered me for having… that kind of intention towards Big Brother! Are you trying to force me to kill myself?"
"I already said that I would move out of the Huo Family and not be an eyesore to you. I"ll return everything that originally belonged to you. It was Mom who said that if I really moved out, others might laugh at the Huo Family and gossip about you in private. That"s why I stopped insisting."
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Dad, Mom, don"t listen to Rainy"s nonsense. I really didn"t!"
"I-I didn"t think too much. I just thought that Miss Yan was a guest at home. She would probably feel uncomfortable if I sat beside her like this, so I wanted to sit beside Big Brother. I really didn"t think so much…"
"So be it. Why are you so excited?" Huo Siyu interrupted her with a puzzled expression.
"I didn"t say anything particularly harsh. If you really don"t have the idea, just treat it as a joke and just laugh it off. Is there a need to talk about death?"
"Do you know that you"re making yourself look guilty? I was just joking. Your intense reaction makes me suspect that you really have such thoughts."
Regardless of whether Huo Sisi had the intention or not, once she mentioned it, Huo Sisi had to keep her thoughts to herself in the future. Because now that Huo Sisi was trying so hard to deny it, wouldn"t it be a slap in the face if someone found out that she had the intention in the future?
Plotting against her brother and marrying into the Huo Family?
If Huo Sisi really had the ability to scheme against her brother, she wouldn"t mind if she acknowledged Huo Sisi as her sister-in-law.
Most importantly, did Huo Sisi have that ability?
Anyway, she felt very happy now.
"I-I-I…" This was the first time Huo Sisi had suffered such a huge defeat since she was young. She did not expect Huo Siyu to use her defense to stop her. Not only did her defense fail, but everyone present even suspected her more!
Huo Siyu!
She would definitely not let this matter rest!
"Alright, stop arguing. Eat quietly," Sun Xiangxiang said.
Although she said that, the way Sun Xiangxiang looked at Huo Sisi was obviously not as close as before.
Huo Lin didn"t say anything and just glanced at Huo Xuan.
Seeing that Huo Xuan"s expression was normal as he continued to eat.
Huo Lin trusted Huo Xuan completely. He believed that Huo Xuan could resolve these problems himself. As for Huo Xuan"s feelings for Huo Sisi?
Anyone with eyes could tell that that was definitely impossible.
As long as Huo Xuan wasn"t interested in Huo Sisi, Huo Lin didn"t care what Huo Sisi thought about Huo Xuan.
Because he had the same thoughts as Huo Siyu. Huo Sisi would never be able to scheme against Huo Xuan.
"Mom, I-I really didn"t…"
"Brother, I-I… Please don"t listen to Huo… Rainy"s nonsense. I really don"t have such thoughts!" She almost shouted Huo Siyu"s name in a panic.
Sun Xiangxiang looked at her and frowned. "Sit down and eat."
"There are still guests around. Why are you crying? Don"t you find it embarra.s.sing!"
As she spoke, Sun Xiangxiang smiled apologetically at Yan Jinyu. "We"ve made a fool of ourselves in front of Jinyu."
Yan Jinyu smiled back at her and didn"t say anything.
In the end, Huo Sisi walked to Yan Jinyu"s side angrily and sat down.
She didn"t feel at ease during the meal. She kept looking up to see Huo Xuan"s reaction, but she saw that Huo Xuan"s expression was normal. Even if there were some changes occasionally, it was only when he looked up at Yan Jinyu.
Hence, the anger in Huo Sisi"s heart was not only directed at Huo Siyu, but also at Yan Jinyu.
Why did her brother not even look at her when things were already like this!
It was fine if he didn"t look at her, but why did he have to pay attention to others!
Furthermore, he was still paying attention to Yan Jinyu, whom she didn"t like!
What right did Yan Jinyu have? It was clearly only Big Brother"s first time seeing her today!
In terms of looks, bearing, and manners, which part of her was not better than Yan Jinyu?!
No one could s.n.a.t.c.h her things, be it the status of the eldest daughter of the Huo Family or Huo Xuan!
Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu were considered capable of having forced her to this extent! Since that was the case, don"t blame her for being ruthless!
She had grown up in South City and was more familiar with South City than Huo Siyu, who had just returned to South City. It was easy for her to deal with someone in South City!
There was no hurry. She would let them be smug for a few more days. At that time, she would let them know what it meant to be helpless!
There were two reasons why Huo Xuan always looked at Yan Jinyu unintentionally.
Firstly, he was indeed curious about Yan Jinyu.
Secondly, he had personally seen Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu interact before Huo Siyu said that Huo Sisi had feelings for him.
This made it difficult for him not to pay much attention to Yan Jinyu.
As for Huo Sisi"s current emotions and thoughts, Huo Xuan didn"t care at all.
***
It was already dark after dinner.
Yan Jinyu didn"t intend to go out to play today. After eating, she and Huo Sisi walked around the Huo Family"s mansion to digest their food. The two of them returned to their room together.
Huo Siyu"s room was close to the stairs. They reached her room first and then the room that the Huo Family had prepared for Yan Jinyu.
Hence, after Huo Siyu entered the room, Yan Jinyu still had to walk for a while before she reached hers.
However, Huo Xuan"s room was right opposite hers.
Just as Yan Jinyu was about to push open the door and enter the house, a voice came from behind. "Eldest Miss Yan."
She turned around and happened to see Huo Xuan leaning against the door frame of the room opposite.
Huo Xuan was wearing a white sleeping robe and his hair was still dripping with water. He must have just taken a shower.
He leaned against the door frame lazily. His pale face could not hide his elegance.
He was seductive.
Of course, that was only in the eyes of others.
Even when she saw Huo Xuan like this, Yan Jinyu"s expression remained unchanged. She smiled and greeted politely, "Young Master Huo."
Huo Xuan was about to speak when Yan Jinyu"s phone rang.
Then, Huo Xuan saw with his own eyes the girl—who originally had an appropriate and polite smile on her face, and looked very innocent and harmless, but whose eyes were actually cold—instantly lit up her eyes when she took out her phone and took a look. She answered the call happily, "Brother Nine!"
Brother Nine…
Yin Jiujin.
She was probably the only person in the world who dared to call Yin Jiujin that.
Furthermore, her att.i.tude towards Yin Jiujin…
Tsk, the stinky smell of love.
Huo Xuan and Yin Jiujin didn"t get along, but he wasn"t the kind of person who wouldn"t disturb others when they were making a phone call or deliberately cause a commotion to make the two of them have a misunderstanding.
He waited quietly for Yan Jinyu to finish her call.
