Chapter 80: Gossip

Halfway through the morning class, Qin Wanshuang was late, less arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and the whole person looked disgraced and listless.

Huo Xiaoting glanced at her and didn't say anything, but he heard Huo Xiaolan whispering on the side: "Be cocooned and self-bound." ā€

"What did you say?" She asked quietly.

"Speaking of Qin Wanshuang, Su Rili always looks arrogant, and he bullied you yesterday, and he doesn't want to think about whether he can move you, what's the use of hanging his head now? Wouldn't it be nice to be a man with your tail between your legs on weekdays? ā€

She said very relieved, but Huo Xiaoting couldn't laugh.

How did Huo Xiaolan know about her being chased by Qin Wanshuang yesterday?

She quietly observed Huo Xiaolan's expression, only to see that she was still comfortable picking up the book, as if she didn't realize that she had just said something.

Huo Xiaoting retracted his eyes, remembered what Lu Hancheng had said to her the night before, picked up his mobile phone and quietly sent a message.

"Hancheng, what do you mean when you said last night that I was bullied was not simple?"

"What? Noticed something is wrong? ā€

"Well, tell me."

"Qin Wanshuang is not the only one who wants to harm you, but I don't have conclusive evidence to prove who the other person is."

"I see."

Putting down the phone, Huo Xiaoting's mind was heavy. She quietly looked at Huo Xiaolan and saw that she was studying books seriously, and it was an economics textbook that she had never picked up on weekdays.

She thought carefully about what she had just said, and her fingers unconsciously clenched a little tighter.

Not far away, after Qin Wanshuang, who was still depressed, answered a phone call, her whole person was radiant again, and she looked over quite provocatively.

Huo Xiaoting's gaze just met her, only to see Qin Wanshuang stretch out a hand and actually raise her middle finger, as if she was showing off her might.

"Heh, it seems that Hancheng is still merciful." Huo Xiaoting whispered a word or two, not caring about Qin Wanshuang's provocation.

After a while, the class president suddenly got up and walked to the podium and said: "Our school has just given an outstanding alumnus the position of honorary chairman, in a few days, this honorary chairman will come to the school to take office, there will be an appointment ceremony, several etiquette is needed, the school committee has left this rare opportunity to our class, are there any students who volunteer?" ā€

"Me!" As soon as the squad leader's words fell, Qin Wanshuang couldn't wait to raise her hand.

Huo Xiaolan frowned, and said in a low voice: "I've never seen her so active, and she was still sluggish, why are you so happy now?" ā€

After that, she turned to Huo Xiaoting and said, "Sister, why don't you go too, I'm worried about what tricks she will play again." ā€

"I'm not going, I'm going to you." Huo Xiaoting's tone was not as gentle as it had been recently, and it sounded cold.

For a moment, Huo Xiaolan was stunned in place, quite embarrassed.

"Is there anyone else?" The squad leader continued to ask.

After thinking about it, Huo Xiaolan still raised her hand: "I, squad leader, count me in." ā€

"Okay, there's still one left, let's be enthusiastic."

"Squad leader," Qin Wanshuang said, "I think just let Huo Xiaoting, on weekdays, you always hold her up as a flower or school flower, such an important event, such a good opportunity, how can you not let her show up?" ā€

Hearing this, the squad leader responded: "Xiaoting, how about you as one?" ā€

Huo Xiaoting wanted to refuse, but looking at Qin Wanshuang's triumphant appearance, he got up and said, "Okay, then I'll do what you want." ā€

Seeing that she finally responded, Qin Wanshuang seemed to be even more proud, she shook her long hair lightly and sat down, and said in an unhurried tone: "I almost forgot to tell you that the honorary chairman of the school is about to be appointed is none other than my sister." ā€

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding classmates all gathered around her in surprise and asked. A dark glint flashed in Huo Xiaoting's eyes, and she finally understood her high-spirited capital.

"Sister," Huo Xiaolan said with a guilty face, "Did I hurt you?" ā€

Huo Xiaoting turned his head and looked at her expression very seriously-his eyebrows were frowning, and his eyes were also ashamed, it seemed that he couldn't pick anything wrong, if it wasn't for Fang Cai who said that she leaked her mouth, how long would she have to hide it?

"No," Huo Xiaoting said with a perfunctory smile, "It's just an appointment ceremony, what can they do in front of so many teachers and students?" Are you going to beat me up again? ā€

In the last half of the sentence, she said it very clearly, and as she spoke, she glanced at Huo Xiaolan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, that's good," Huo Xiaolan didn't seem to realize her gaffe, and still looked worried, "By the way, sister, Dad said to let me go home on the weekend, will you take my brother-in-law back?" ā€

"What's wrong? Is there a difference with or without a cold city? Huo Xiaoting became more and more impatient, and the words he said and the eyes he threw at Huo Xiaolan were like sharp swords. She has always hated hypocrisy, but now she has to accompany Huo Xiaolan to act, just thinking about it, she feels physiological discomfort.

"I ...... I think it's ......" Huo Xiaolan stammered, "Huo's big industry, you and I don't have much experience, I'm afraid of what my father commands, and we can't understand it, if you take your brother-in-law there, wouldn't it be better?" ā€

"Well, maybe."

"Then ......," Huo Xiaolan finally couldn't hold back, "Is it more appropriate for me to bring Lu Palm over?" ā€

If it was half a day ago, Huo Xiaoting would definitely wake her up and tell her that Lu Brown was not worth entrusting her with life, but at the moment, after learning that Huo Xiaolan had no intention of repenting from beginning to end, Huo Xiaoting suddenly said: "Yes, you are so desperate for Lu Brown, maybe you use our Huo family's assets as a bargaining chip, he is really willing to retract his previous decision and marry you into the door of the Lu family, so that I can call your nephew and daughter-in-law again." ā€

Hearing this, Huo Xiaolan was immediately startled, her face was gray, and she said tremblingly: "Sister, sister...... What did you say...... I—I don't understand. ā€

"Don't understand? If you don't understand, forget it. Huo Xiaoting was too lazy to look at her coy behavior, and even more lazy to act with her, so he turned his head and sat on the side, refusing to pay attention to it.

"Sister," Huo Xiaolan said unrelentingly, "Did I say something wrong?" If I say something wrong, don't be angry, I'll change it, can't I change it? Her voice was not low, and the classmates around her looked sideways, and everyone seemed to be unable to understand why her sister was so low and small, and her sister was so bullying.

Huo Xiaoting felt the unkind gaze, but she didn't bother to explain, so she only said: "You don't have to change it, no, you must not change it, change it again, I'm afraid that I will be deceived again and be kept in the dark." ā€

Huo Xiaolan was surprised in her heart, and pretended to be calm: "Sister, you probably really misunderstood me, you can't have heard what others said, right?" ā€

"Huo Xiaolan, don't act, I don't want to see you in Lu Mansion tonight, you'd better go home to accompany your father, I hope your heart is poisonous, and you know that it is the person who gave birth to you and raised you, you can just do your filial piety in the past two days, and then bewitch his old man, maybe he will really be able to share some more of your property on the weekend."

"Sister, you really misunderstand me, I don't care about the family's property at all, although I am also my father's biological daughter, but if you are worried that I will compete with you for the family property, I will go home tonight and tell my father, let him share more with you!"

Huo Xiaolan said it particularly pitifully, for a while, the classroom was quiet, and almost everyone looked at them.

Huo Xiaoting frowned, picked up his backpack and walked out, and whispered before leaving, "Xiaolan, we'll see you on the weekend." ā€

Twilight.

When Lu Hancheng came to pick up Huo Xiaoting, he found that she was sad.

"What's wrong?"

"Heh," Huo Xiaoting chuckled, "Hancheng, I only realized this morning that what you reminded me all this time was not alarmist. ā€

"What did I remind you?"

"You asked me to be wary of Huo Xiaolan."

When Lu Hancheng heard this, he was relieved.

"The fox finally showed its tail?" He gently pinched her fingertips and asked softly.

"Hmm." Huo Xiaoting nodded.

"So what now? Is there anything I need to do? ā€

"I've warned her not to return to the Lu Mansion, for the time being, she should be restrained for a while, but ......"

"How?"

"Hancheng, Dad is worried that his body will not be able to support him to continue to manage the Huo family, so let Huo Xiaolan and I go home on the weekend."

"Well, I'll accompany you," Lu Hancheng's eyes turned and he asked, "Are you afraid of regeneration?" ā€

"Actually, even if the Huo family's industry falls into her hands, I don't worry, I just hope that my father won't get angry and affect his body because of this incident."

"Kiosk?" Lu Hancheng whispered.

"Huh?"

"Have you forgotten that there is still me? With me here, how can you and the people you care about be hurt? ā€

Looking at Lu Hancheng's bright deep eyes, Huo Xiaoting finally relaxed a little.

On the weekend, Lu Hancheng drove Huo Xiaoting to Huo's house.

Pushing the door in, I saw Huo Xiaolan sitting beside Huo Hong obediently, looking like she was being ordered, and the one standing aside was indeed Lu Brown.

"Lu Brown?" Lu Hancheng low road.

Huo Xiaoting hurriedly pulled his fingers lightly, turned around and smiled indifferently at him. Lu Hancheng immediately understood what was going on.

Seeing Huo Xiaoting and Lu Hancheng, Huo Xiaolan's expression flickered, and she didn't dare to respond, but Huo Xiaoting was unwilling to let her go, and said bluntly: "Xiaolan, I'm not wrong, right?" I knew that if you used the Huo family's assets to seduce Lu Brown, he would definitely take the bait, and they all said that the horse was worthy of what saddle, you and him were really a good match. ā€

Hearing what she said, full of sarcasm, Huo Hong wondered, "What's the matter?" ā€

"It's nothing, Dad," Huo Xiaoting sat down and grabbed his arm and said, "Didn't you hope that I could take Xiaolan back to the Lu family?" I did take her with me, and Hancheng also defended her in every way, so she didn't let her be bullied at home, but Lu Brown didn't accept her, but today, Lu Brown obediently followed, do you know why? ā€

In a few words, Huo Hong had already heard the clues, pursed his lips strictly, and looked solemn.

"It's because I know that you want to divide the Huo family between me and Xiaolan, the two of us are daughters' families, how can we hold such a big property without my husband's family? I am already married to Hancheng, so he naturally wants to come with me, so of course Xiaolan can't wait to use this as a bargaining chip to reconcile with Lu Palm, you see, although our family is not as good as the Lu family, but Lu Palm thinks that half of the Huo family's industry is a piece of fat. ā€
