Chapter 177: Let’s Compare Who’s More Pretentious

“…Xuan’er, you…” After hesitating for a while, Sun Xiangxiang still spoke, but she suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Compared to Huo Siyu and Huo Sisi, Sun Xiangxiang obviously trusted Huo Xuan more.

Not only because Huo Xuan was her son, but also because Huo Xuan was the head of the Huo Family.

He was able to control a family business like the Huo Corporation and gain the trust of the entire Huo Family, so his ability was already proven. Even Huo Lin had to listen to Huo Xuan sometimes.

In the end, she turned her attention to Huo Xuan’s coughing and his pale face, “You… Xuan’er, are you alright? Do you want to take some medicine first? If you don’t want to take your medicine, go in first. The wind is strong out here.”

Huo Xuan glanced at her and then at Huo Lin, “Do Dad and Mom really think that Rainy is the kind of person who would slander others for no reason?”

“You should know very well what kind of personality Rainy has since she returned to the Huo Family. A whole year has passed, but do you dare to say that Rainy has accepted you from the bottom of her heart? Is this the daughter that you spent so much time and effort to find? If you treat her like this after bringing her back, you might as well not bring her back from the beginning.”

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Lin. “It’s fine if it’s just mom, but Dad, are you so unreasonable too?”

“Let’s not talk about whether there’s any evidence for the matter Rainy mentioned. Just look at what Huo Sisi said just now. Can’t you tell that she was trying to smear Rainy and sow discord between us? Could it be that you’ve been resting at home for too long and have lost your basic judgment?”

Huo Lin glanced at him and remained silent.

There was no anger in her eyes either.

He simply flicked a glance at Huo Sisi.

Huo Lin wasn’t like Sun Xiangxiang. He was the head of the Huo Family in his early years. Although he wasn’t as bold as Huo Xuan when he was in power, he still had some judgment.

He fell into deep thought after Huo Siyu’s outburst.

Indeed, the premise that Huo Sisi could sow discord in front of him was that he was really concerned about Huo Siyu. He thought that Huo Siyu had really abandoned her studies in school and was worried that she would be a good-for-nothing.

As for not caring about Huo Siyu’s studies and not asking about her results or what she was like in school, it was indeed because he didn’t think highly of Huo Siyu. Thinking about how she had grown up overseas and might not be able to adapt after returning to the country, he simply felt that she was not good enough.

But…

He didn’t expect her to be so outstanding. She didn’t even have to study to be the top in her class.

It was undeniable that at that moment, Huo Lin was proud.

That was his daughter, who was as outstanding as his son.

Most importantly, he actually made her say that she wouldn’t stay in the Huo Family for long and would marry into the Qin Family when she reached her legal age.

Did she really treat the Huo Family as her family?

Or rather, did they really give her a sense of belonging?

Huo Sisi had been obedient since she was young. Their understanding of her was fixed on that. She was very good at controlling her words and always made people feel angry. However, this anger would never affect her. Instead, they would think that she was obedient and sensible.

However, the premise of all this was that no one openly pointed out her flaws, especially not someone they trusted very much.

Now that Huo Xuan had said it, how could Huo Lin not notice anything?

“If Dad and Mom want Rainy to be disappointed with the Huo Family and leave the Huo Family completely, just continue.”

“You actually made Rainy rather rely on an outsider than get close to her family.”

“When have you guys ever seen Rainy act so soft in front of anyone? The other party is even an 18-year-old girl. We made Rainy rather rely on a girl younger than her than on her family…” Huo Xuan saw this with his own eyes. When he walked over, he happened to see Huo Siyu throwing herself into Yan Jinyu’s arms and acting coyly to her.

Yes, he was sore.

His sister had been home for more than a year and had never acted coyly with him. She even spoke to him politely every time. He felt like an outsider.

Yan Jinyu, an outsider, had completely trusted Rainy. As her elder brother, how could he be inferior to Yan Jinyu?

At the thought of this, and probably because he was too angry, Huo Xuan coughed heavily again.

After calming down, Huo Xuan looked at Huo Sisi with a cold gaze, “Remember to move out of the Huo Family tomorrow.”

“Brother…” Huo Sisi was really panicking now.

Seeing that Huo Xuan had no intention of responding to her, she looked at Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang, “Dad, Mom…” Without saying anything, she put on an aggrieved expression. The corners of her lips trembled and her eyes turned red. She looked like she was about to cry,” Alright, I… I’ll move out of the Huo Family tomorrow. I’m sorry. I’ve disturbed Dad, Mom, and Brother all these years. ”

Huo Lin glanced at her, but his expression didn’t change. He only retracted his gaze and said to Huo Xuan, “You decide for the Huo Family.” After saying that, he turned and entered the house.

“Xuan’er…” Sun Xiangxiang couldn’t bear to see Huo Sisi like this. As for whether she became estranged from Huo Sisi because of Huo Xuan’s words, no one knew.

“Xuan’er, Sisi is the adopted daughter of the Huo Family. We personally brought her back to the Huo Family. If we ask Sisi to move out not long after Rainy comes back and word of this gets out, it won’t be good for the Huo Family’s reputation either. Others might use this to gossip about Rainy.”

“Besides, it’s not easy for Rainy to have a good friend. She specially invited her to our house as a guest. It’s not good to make such a joke in front of the guests.”

As Sun Xiangxiang spoke, she looked at Huo Sisi, who had an ugly expression and was trying her best to maintain her image. “Sisi, you too. Watch your words when you speak in the future. Fortunately, Mom understands you and knows that you’re not a bad child. Otherwise, Mom would have thought that you did that on purpose.”

“Rainy has been with Hao’er most of the year, and Jinyu is her only friend. Yet, you said that someone is trying to sow discord between Rainy. Do you want to say that Hao’er that an honest child is trying to sow discord between Rainy and us, or do you want to say that Jinyu who is the only friend Rainy is willing to befriend, is the one?”

“Hao’er is the eldest son of the Qin Family, and he’s also very promising. Although the Yan Family behind Jinyu is slightly inferior, she still has the Second Young Master of the Yin Family by her side. Don’t say such irresponsible and offensive words and cause unnecessary trouble for Xuan’er and the Huo Family in the future.”

Adopted daughter!

Huo Sisi’s fingernails almost dug into her palms.

This was the first time Sun Xiangxiang had said this to her, and it was with such an attitude!

She was clearly fine in the past, so why…

Huo Siyu did not have this attitude towards her previously. Why did she become like this when she brought a friend home?!

Yan Jinyu must have said something to Huo Siyu. Otherwise…

No wonder she didn’t like Yan Jinyu the first time she saw her. She had such a seductive face, but she still had to act innocent and ignorant. Wasn’t it because all men liked her like this?

No wonder she could charm Master Nine!

Yan Jinyu’s appearance in the Huo Family this time gave her an inexplicable sense of danger. Especially when she saw her brother, who had been in the company for two months and had suddenly returned home, her sense of danger intensified!

Big Brother even took the initiative to greet Yan Jinyu. Even if she was Huo Siyu’s friend, Big Brother’s attitude towards Yan Jinyu was too abnormal!

Did Big Brother treat her this way because Yan Jinyu was Master Nine’s fiancée?

No!

It wasn’t!

Big Brother and Master Nine were rivals in the business world. He definitely wouldn’t treat Yan Jinyu so kindly because of Master Nine.

She understood her brother. This was clearly…

He was very interested in Yan Jinyu!

How could that do!

She had found all kinds of excuses to reject them when they could not find Huo Siyu in the early years and the Huo Family wanted her to fulfill the engagement with the Qin Family. She did not fancy a fool like Qin Hao!

Since she had entered the Huo Family, she had to stay in the Huo Family no matter what!

She lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes. “Mom, I’m sorry. I’ll be careful with my words in the future.”

“Yes, don’t mention moving out of the Huo Family again. Since the Huo Family has adopted you, it’s not like we can’t afford to support you. Don’t let outsiders laugh at the Huo Family.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s enter the house first. Watch the kitchen staff make dinner. Since you want to entertain the guests, don’t be rude.”

“Alright, I’ll go in first.” She looked at Huo Xuan timidly with a hint of infatuation in her eyes. Then, she quickly retracted her gaze, “Brother isn’t in good health and doesn’t like to take medicine. Mom, keep an eye on him.”

Without waiting for a reply, she turned and walked into the house.

She had done it perfectly.

She cared about the other party but did not let anyone have the chance to refute or mock her. This way, her concern would be magnified.

Of course, it didn’t cause much of a reaction with Huo Xuan. Instead, it made him frown.

He looked very disgusted.

Obviously, her move didn’t work on Huo Xuan. Only Sun Xiangxiang would think that she was sensible and still cared about her brother at a time like this.

“Xuan’er, let’s go in first.”

Huo Xuan glanced at the gift bag in Sun Xiangxiang’s hand and covered his mouth as he coughed and nodded, “Yes.”

However, seeing that his gaze landed on the gift bag, Sun Xiangxiang smiled and explained, “Oh, this is a gift Jinyu specially chose for your father and me. Jinyu is also a thoughtful child. I can tell that she and Rainy are really on good terms, so we could let Rainy can interact with her more.”

Not only could she tell that they were sincere in making friends, but she could also tell that Rainy was relying on her from the bottom of her heart.

Sun Xiangxiang actually felt a little upset.

Her daughter would rather rely on a girl younger than herself than her mother.

It was also her fault.

“Only a gift for you and my father?” Huo Xuan suddenly asked with an unknown meaning.

However, Sun Xiangxiang was a little surprised. She looked at the gift bag in her hand. “There are only two gift boxes so I think so.”

“Xuan’er, don’t tell me you also want Rainy’s friend’s gift? The little girl came all the way from North City and has a fiancé. It’s already considered considerate for her parents’ gift. It’s not appropriate to prepare a gift for you.”

“Speaking of which, you’re even a few months older than the Yin Family’s Second Young Master. He has already had his fiancée by his side. Shouldn’t you also get a girlfriend? Or should I help you find one?”

Huo Xuan coughed heavily. His face was still very pale and sickly pale, “Mom, I don’t know how long my body can last. Don’t burden others.”

Sun Xiang felt a lump in her throat.

She felt a little stuffy.

“It’s all Mom’s fault. I didn’t take good care of you when I was pregnant, so I cause you…”

“Alright, Mom.”

Sun Xiangxiang looked at him with reddened eyes, “Xuan’er, don’t worry. Mom will definitely find a famous doctor to treat you. If Old Master Min is still around… It’s all my fault. A few years ago, I should have brought you to him when Old Master Min was still alive. Even if Old Master Min doesn’t make a move easily, I should have begged him to make a move. Now…”

“Recently, I heard that Min Guili’s second son’s medical skills are actually very good. It’s also Old Master Min who disregarded his identity as an illegitimate son and brought him back to the Min Family. I think he really has some ability. Since Min Guili and his eldest son are both helpless about your situation, shall we find an opportunity to look for Min Guili’s second son?”

“Mom will make the arrangements.” Huo Xuan’s casual attitude clearly showed that he didn’t have much hope.

Or rather, he had hope countless times, but every single time, it would end in disappointment, so he didn’t dare to easily have hope now.

Seeing him like this, Sun Xiangxiang felt even worse.

However, she still nodded repeatedly with reddened eyes. “Alright, alright. Mom will arrange it.”

***

“Why did you suddenly do that?” In the room, Yan Jinyu asked as she looked at Huo Siyu, who was rolling around on the bed that she had arranged for her.

Huo Siyu stopped rolling around and sat up to look at her. She said seriously, “Beauty Yu, I think this is my home. Even if I don’t want it, I can’t let that hypocritical fake abuse her power here.”

“Moreover, she actually dared to plot against me again and again. The last time was because I had just returned and was not on guard, so I had no choice but to find out the mastermind in that kind of situation. This time, she sowed discord behind my back because I can’t interfere in the South City’s matters from the capital.”

“She’s going to keep doing that. I don’t want her to have a third chance to plot against me. At most, I’ll leave the Huo Family after we fall out. It’s not like I don’t have a place to go.”

“If she wants to cause trouble, let’s all suffer together.”

“You’re silly.” Yan Jinyu walked over and sat down on the sofa at the side.

She sneered, “Who does she think she is? Is she worthy of you suffering together with her?”

“Rainy, you’ve probably really not done anything for a long time and have become rusty. The Huo Family is your home. You don’t want to hurt your family and don’t want to leave a bad impression on them. This is very simple. We don’t have to do anything. We can simply put on a false front. How can we be inferior to others in this aspect? She’s pretentious and likes to be a people-pleaser. We’ll just be more pretentious than her. What’s so difficult about that?”

Huo Siyu’s lips twitched. “It’s indeed not difficult, but that’s towards outsiders. I don’t think I can do that to the Huo Family.”

“Then, we’ll treat the Huo Family as outsiders for the time being. After we get rid of Huo Sisi, without her instigating things in front of your parents, your family will have a chance to develop a healthy relationship.”

Huo Siyu thought about it and felt that it made sense.

She jumped up from the bed. “Let’s go, Beauty Yu. Let’s go downstairs and pretend!”

“She’s pretentious, but we’re even more pretentious than her!”

Yan Jinyu smiled. “Mm-hm.”

“Then, Beauty Yu, do you think I should change into a white dress and go downstairs? No, I don’t seem to have a white dress. Do you have one? Can you lend it to me to wear? Shall I put on some pitiful makeup? It’s the kind that looks soft and weak…”

Yan Jinyu’s smile froze. “…That’s enough.”

“South City is so cold. Why would I bring a white dress?” Oh, but she really had a white dress.

“The highest level of acting is to be able to perform the essence without makeup.”

Huo Siyu nodded in agreement when she heard that. “Yes, yes, yes, we can perform the essence! Let’s go! Let’s go downstairs!”
