Chapter 424: Proud Old Man

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yao halted before she turned to glance at the old man. “My folks were kind enough to take you in, so don’t push it.”

He angrily pulled the blanket over his head again. How could Huo Yao say such things?

He should never have asked.

╭(╯^╰)╮

He was such a proud old man.

Huo Yao shook her head, ignored him, and left the room before long.

Song Ning was done cooking and was setting the table when Huo Yao came downstairs. When Song Ning saw her daughter, she asked. “Have you seen him? Was he asleep? I made him some porridge. If he isn’t asleep, I will take a bowl of porridge up.”

Huo Yao nodded before pulling a chair out to sit down. “It’s fine. I will take it up after dinner.”

“Sure,” acknowledged Song Ning softly. She contemplated and added softly after a moment. “Take good care of him.”

Huo Yao glanced at her mother when she heard this.

After dinner, Huo Yao went upstairs with a bowl of porridge and a plate of vegetables.

Huo Yao opened the door and entered before placing the food on the bedside table. She could not help raising her brow when she saw the old man lying in bed with his eyes closed. It looked like he was asleep.

Other than his irregular breathing, he certainly seemed to be sound asleep.

“Enough. Stop pretending. Have some dinner,” said Huo Yao eventually as she broke the silence in the room.

The old man did not move and seemed incapable of hearing what Huo Yao said.

Huo Yao didn’t bother to say anything further. Instead, she walked up to the bedside to pull out a chair. She sat down lazily before pulling her phone from her pocket.

She had received a text message from Huo Xiang’s agent, Tong Yu.

[I managed to convince the sportswear brand about the ad.]

Huo Yao’s eyes lit up. She crossed her legs roguishly and replied to Tong Yu: [Thanks! Good job!]

Tong Yu was eating with Huo Xiang. His phone was on the table when he saw the reply from Huo Yao.

He promptly picked up his phone and typed: [Welcome.]

Tong Yu raised his head and glanced at Huo Xiang eating with his head lowered.

He composed another text: [But I haven’t told your brother about the ad yet.]

During this time, he had noticed something about Huo Xiang. Huo Xiang would turn down all work that had anything to do with his little sister and was insanely protective of her.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes before she composed her text slowly: [Don’t worry. He has no right to reject the ad.]

Tong Yu felt relieved to see her reply.

Despite being overly protective of his little sister, Huo Xiang was a coward in front of her and did not behave like an older brother at all.

Huo Xiang raised his head and caught sight of Tong Yu smiling somewhat cunningly as he looked at the phone. Huo Xiang narrowed his eyes. “Hey!”

Tong Yu coughed before putting his phone away and said with perfect composure, “Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you about something. I told your little sister about the sportswear ad when I sent her your autographed photo the other day, and she wants to take the job.”

Huo Xiang frowned. “Haven’t you already turned down the ad?”

“Yes, I did. Since your little sister is very keen on doing it, I convinced the brand to let us do it,” said Tong Yu calmly.

Huo Xiang glanced at Tong Yu. “How could she be interested? You must have talked her into it.”

Tong Yu’s lips twitched. He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and pulled out his text with Huo Yao before handing the phone to Huo Xiang. “See for yourself if you don’t believe me.”
