Chapter 182 - Going To The Ski Resort
Chapter 182: Going To The Ski Resort
The next morning.
Just as Huo Siyu had said last night, as soon as they finished breakfast, Huo Sisi suggested that she bring them out to play.
Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu looked at each other. Then, Huo Siyu agreed under the slightly disapproving gazes of Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang.
Sun Xiangxiang and Huo Lin had discussed in detail last night when they returned to their room whether Huo Sisi had feelings for Huo Xuan.
Their unanimous attitude was that it was best not to. Otherwise…
The Huo Family could not tolerate her anymore.
Because Huo Siyu had “unintentionally” mentioned it, the more Sun Xiangxiang thought about the past, the more she felt that Huo Sisi really had feelings for Huo Xuan.
If Huo Sisi really had ulterior motives and tried her best to hide it, what about what Huo Siyu said about her sowing discord and what happened at the Huo Family’s banquet a year ago?
Sun Xiangxiang naturally had her doubts too.
Hence, Sun Xiangxiang no longer trusted Huo Sisi that much.
If it wasn’t for Huo Siyu’s agreement, she didn’t even want Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu to go out with Huo Sisi. She was afraid that Huo Sisi had really schemed against Huo Siyu at the banquet a year ago. If it was really Huo Sisi’s doing, would Huo Sisi bring them out to harm them?
This was what Sun Xiangxiang was worried about.
After all, in her opinion, no matter if it was Huo Siyu or Yan Jinyu, they were not as familiar with South City as Huo Sisi, who had grown up in South City. Naturally, they did not know as many people as Huo Sisi in South City.
“Rainy, don’t stay out too late. Come back early.” Sun Xiangxiang’s words seemed to be directed at Huo Siyu, but they were actually meant for Huo Sisi.
Then, she looked at Huo Sisi, “Sisi, bring Rainy and Jinyu out to have fun. They’re not familiar with South City. Bring them back as you bring them out, understand?”
Sun Xiangxiang’s words were filled with warning.
Huo Sisi’s expression froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. She quickly recovered and smiled obediently. “Mom, don’t worry. I will.” It was as if she didn’t understand Sun Xiangxiang’s warning.
Huo Sisi had already guessed the consequences after Huo Siyu made a scene at the dining table last night.
Indeed, her parents’ attitude towards her had changed drastically when she woke up this morning. They looked at her strangely.
She knew that it was impossible to achieve her goal slowly.
Since she did not want to take it slow, the first thing she had to do was to get rid of the stumbling block.
She heard movement in the room last night. She opened the door and looked out through the crack. She happened to see her brother and Yan Jinyu standing in front of their respective rooms. Although she was far away and couldn’t hear what they were saying, she could clearly see that the two of them were obviously “chatting happily”.
Hence, her stumbling block was not only Huo Siyu, who could affect her status in the Huo Family, but also Yan Jinyu!
She knew that they did not believe her and would guard against her, but did that matter?
As long as she could bring them out, she would have a way to achieve her goal.
She was not stupid enough to let others find evidence.
“Don’t stay out too late,” Huo Lin added.
As for Huo Xuan, he had gone to the office early in the morning and didn’t even eat breakfast at home.
He had been so busy that he had not been home for two weeks. He had specially squeezed out time to come back yesterday, so he naturally had to go back to settle the other matters.
He wasn’t here now.
Didn’t he think that Huo Sisi would cause trouble?
Of course, he had thought about it, but if Huo Siyu was the only one around, he would still be worried. Now that Yan Jinyu, who even he couldn’t find out anything about, was by Huo Siyu’s side, he was more at ease.
Huo Sisi wasn’t Yan Jinyu’s match.
He still had the ability to tell that.
“Alright, Daddy,” Huo Siyu replied with a smile.
The three of them got into a long Lincoln and were sent out by the Huo Family’s chauffeur.
This car was said to be specially used to send Huo Sisi to school.
“Where are you bringing us to play?” In the car, Huo Siyu, who was sitting beside Yan Jinyu, asked Huo Sisi.
“North City is warm. I think Miss Yan hasn’t skied before. I know a good ski resort and I want to bring Miss Yan to try it. What do you think?”
These words not only implied that North City was warm and didn’t have a ski park, but they also implied that Yan Jinyu was a country bumpkin who couldn’t even afford to go to a ski park.
North City was slightly south. The town that Yin Jiujin had found Yan Jinyu in was slightly north. It was very cold in winter, and it didn’t look like a place that could afford to have a ski park.
Who were Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu? How could they not understand the meaning behind her words? It was just that they were too lazy to expose her.
However, Huo Siyu still sneered inwardly. How dare she call Beauty Yu a country bumpkin? Not to mention a ski resort, Beauty Yu had been to many places. Even if she was busy in the past and couldn’t step foot in some places, what about the three years after Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed?
During those three years, Beauty Yu wandered around the world. No one knew where she had been and what new things she had seen.
“Miss Yan, have you skied before?”
Yan Jinyu looked up at her and chuckled. “I did.”
Huo Sisi didn’t show it on her face, but her heart was already filled with disdain.
Skied?
She was puffing herself up at her own cost!
“Is Miss Yan good at skiing?”
“I’m still alright.”
Alright?
What a boast!
“That’s good. Otherwise, Miss Yan might not have a good time later.” She looked at Huo Siyu. “Rainy, what about you? Did Young Master Qin bring you to ski?”
She was asking about Young Master Qin. Because in South City, Huo Siyu had never been to a place like the ski resort. As for going with her classmates in university? It was even more impossible. She had heard that Huo Siyu did not have any good classmates in university.
“No, Qin Hao is very busy. He doesn’t have the time.”
Was he really very busy? He was just a blockhead who did not know how to please girls.
Huo Sisi’s heart was filled with disdain.
“However, my adoptive parents in Country F had brought me there once or twice when they were still alive,” Huo Siyu said again.
“That’s good. Only then will the place I choose be enjoyable. Otherwise, you guys will have to learn from scratch. It won’t be so fun anymore.”
“By the way, I called a few friends over. Those friends are very good at skiing. I thought it would be more fun to call them over. You don’t mind, right?”
Huo Siyu glanced at her and smiled. “I don’t mind. The more the merrier.”
Huo Sisi didn’t quite understand what she meant, but she still felt inexplicably uneasy.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the ski resort that Huo Sisi mentioned.
The ski resort was very big. It was even among the top few ski resorts in the country. It was also a place where the rich kids in South City often came to play.
The Huo Family’s Lincoln stopped. The people whom Huo Sisi invited, were already waiting at the entrance of the ski park.
There were five of them, three guys and two girls.
Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were surprised when they saw the five people… or rather, one of the five people.
It was none other than their number one suspect, Yuan Xi, whom they had just met yesterday.
Yuan Xi seemed to be a little surprised to see them too.
“Sisi, over here!” One of the girls waved.
Other than Yuan Xi, the eyes of the others, be it the guys or girls, lit up when they saw Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu coming over with Huo Sisi.
Especially when they saw Yan Jinyu.
Only Yin Jiujin felt that Yan Jinyu looked like a silly and gullible child. In the eyes of others, she was a perfect beauty.
However, this beauty’s smile was very clear and she looked very innocent.
In reality, such a beautiful and pure girl was precisely the easiest to attract people’s attention.
When the three of them approached, the girl who waved earlier spoke, “Sisi, aren’t you going to introduce us?”
“This is my sister, Huo Siyu. You should have met her at my family’s banquet. This is my sister’s friend, Yan Jinyu.”
South City was far from North City. In South City, other than some people who paid a lot of attention to Yin Jiujin or people who had specially gone to understand the Yan Family in North City, very few people knew Yan Jinyu.
Even if they knew, they wouldn’t think of this overly beautiful girl as the “country bumpkin” of the Yan Family in North City for a while.
Among these people, only Yuan Xi knew Yan Jinyu’s identity. The others didn’t know and only thought that she was Huo Siyu’s classmate in university.
Yuan Xi clearly had no intention of saying anything.
As she spoke, Huo Sisi introduced the others to the two of them, “This is the eldest daughter of the Yuan Family, Yuan Yuan.” She was the one who had not spoken.
She smiled very graciously, “Hello, I’m Yuan Yuan.”
“This is my younger brother, Yuan Xi. He just came home yesterday. He’s too boring, so my mother asked me to bring him out more often. You don’t mind having one more person, right?” This was said to Huo Sisi. After all, today was Huo Sisi’s event.
“I don’t mind.” Huo Sisi looked at Yuan Xi and smiled appropriately, “Young Master Yuan, we meet again.”
“Mm-hm.” Yuan Xi nodded calmly.
This attitude successfully made Huo Sisi’s expression stiffen. Probably in South City, she had never encountered a man of similar age who was so cold to her.
Seeing this, Huo Siyu pursed her lips tightly.
She tried not to laugh.
She bumped Yan Jinyu’s shoulder and leaned over to say, “Beauty Yu, Huo Sisi’s expression is so strange. It should be very rare for her to meet someone who treats her so coldly. Seriously, what’s there to be angry about? Miss Yuan already said that her brother has a boring personality. In other words, he’s more introverted.”
It sounded like a whisper, but it was actually not soft. Everyone present heard it.
Yuan Yuan was still feeling a little embarrassed by Yuan Xi’s cold attitude and was about to apologize to Huo Sisi when she heard Huo Siyu’s words. She paused and looked at Huo Sisi coldly. “I’m sorry, Sisi. My brother is like this. Don’t take it to heart.”
Huo Siyu, who had successfully sowed discord, retreated successfully.
She looked smug.
She made Yan Jinyu feel helpless.
