Chapter 151 - A visit from the Xu’s (3)
Assistant Zhao quickly pushed aside all of his other thoughts and greeted Huo Chengming.
Huo Chengming nodded at him and glanced over at Father Xu, Mother Xu, and the group… He frowned slightly and asked coldly, “Who are those people?”
Assistant Zhao explained to him right away.
Unlike Zhong Yuhuan, Huo Chengming was tall with broad shoulders. Standing next to Zhong Yuhuan, he was very intimidating.
His standing there alone was enough to make others feel a strong pressure and wouldn’t even so much as think about rebelling against him.
The young man in suit and tie standing in front of him gave off the image of a male lion.
Xu Yunhui’s two sisters were just thinking that this Miss Zhong must be a pushover with good temperament, seeing how she had just casually handed out money to Xu Xing. And that when Xu Yunhui first moved into the Zhong’s, she had immediately gone overseas. It was quite obvious. It must just be a coincidence that she was the sole heir of the entire Zhong’s fortune. A girl could never safeguard a family’s fortune. Both of Xu Yunhui’s sisters thought that they could hit Zhong Yuhuan up from time to time for money.
But now, never mind about hitting her up, even all of their thoughts about it were squashed.
They gulped with difficulty and felt that they have been seen through. They wouldn’t even dare look Huo Chengming in his eyes.
“Don’t ever come here again. I don’t have a lot of patience,” said Huo Chengming coldly.
He didn’t say much after that but quickly went inside. It wasn’t easy for him to take time away from work, and he came specifically to spend some time with Zhong Yuhuan. He wouldn’t want to waste his time on these people.
After Huo Chengming had gone inside the house, Xu Yunhui’s second sister asked out loud, “Is that Boss Zhong’s son too?” Why was it that he could stay in the Zhong’s mansion?
Assistant Zhao replied nonchalantly, “He’s the Zhong’s adopted son, brother of our Miss.”
“Adopted son?” The sister’s tone changed right away. She was obviously feeling very unjust that they refused to admit that Xu Xing, who was his biological son, as his real son, and that he was still living with the Xu’s, but the adopted son could freely go in and out of the Zhong’s mansion. How did that happen?
The other sister quickly tugged her on her arm and said in a low voice, “The adopted son is already CEO of his own company…”
The second sister shut up immediately.
Yes, they could not afford to offend them…
Assistant Zhao saw them out. After the car was gone, he couldn't help but lament.
Whatever happened to Boss Zhong to want to be with a woman coming from a family like that?
Wouldn’t a true lady like Miss Zhong’s mother be more pleasing and likeable?
When Huo Chengming stepped inside the mansion, he immediately heard a song being played.
Probably from some sort of a video clip.
When he walked closer, he could see that it was a video clip of Li Jinyuan.
Li Jinyuan was singing a love song. His voice was soft and lingering, as though he was whispering to his lover…
Huo Chengming walked closer and saw that Zhong Yuhuan was smiling. She was smiling happily.
What was so funny about that?
Huo Chengming wasn’t too happy about it.
She hasn’t even responded to his comment yet.
“Huanhuan.”
“Eh?” Zhong Yuhuan looked up at him and said, “How come you are back?”
Huo Chengming frowned and said, “I need to go on a business trip so I wanted to come home and see you first.”
Zhong Yuhuan patted the spot next to her and said, “C’mon over. Watch this with me.”
That made Huo Chengming even more unhappy.
She wanted to share Li Jinyuan’s video with him? Was Li Jinyuan really that good at singing and dancing?
Zhong Yuhuan shoved her cellphone into his hand. Huo Chengming looked down at the cellphone and noticed that it was a comical video clip of Li Jinyuan, and on the screen was all sorts of comical comments…
Huo Chengming felt better right away and his mood immediately improved.
