The car stopped in front of the main building.
The Huo Family went out to welcome them personally.
Other than Huo Siyuâs parents and Huo Siyuâs adopted sister, Huo Sisi, there were also the Huo Familyâs maids.
Yes, in front of the palace-like main building, the maids stood facing each other in two rows. There were about 40 of them.
Yan Jinyu fell silent.
Yes, a wealthy family.
âWelcome to the Huo Family, Eldest Miss Yan!â The maids bowed 90 degrees and shouted loudly.
However, in Yan Jinyuâs opinion, it was a little⦠unbearable to look at.
No one knew who came up with the welcome method.
She glanced at Huo Siyu.
Huo Siyu immediately understood what she meant and shook her head to show that she did not know either.
Obviously, she was also a little âfrightenedâ by this scene.
She even felt a little embarrassed.
âSo youâre Jinyu. Iâve heard Rainy mention you before. Welcome to the Huo Family.â Huo Siyuâs mother, Sun Xiangxiang, was a typical gentle and wealthy lady.
After Huo Siyu returned to the capital from North City, she mentioned Yan Jinyu to Sun Xiangxiang on the phone.
âHello, Auntie. Sorry to disturb you.â She handed over the gift box that she had taken out from her luggage in advance. âItâs a small gift. I hope you and Uncle wonât mind.â
Yin Jiujin hadnât instructed someone to prepare the gift for her. Instead, she had specially gone to the Empire Mall to choose it.
Huo Siyuâs parents had treated Huo Siyu sincerely, so Yan Jinyu naturally treated them more seriously.
âItâs enough for you to just come. Why did you bring a gift?â
Sun Xiangxiang took it from her personally. âThank you.â
âWe canât be happier that you came to the Huo Family as a guest. Why would you be disturbing us? Rainy has been home for more than a year but she hasnât invited any friends home as guests yet. Auntie is very happy that Rainy hit it off with you.â As she spoke, Sun Xiangxiangâs eyes turned red.
Yan Jinyu could tell that Sun Xiangxiang didnât welcome her so graciously because she was Yin Jiujinâs fiancée.
She knew Little Rainâs personality.
It was actually very difficult for people like them to really get close to anyone. In this aspect, Little Rain was even more so than her.
Huo Siyu did not feel that comfortable seeing Sun Xiangxiang like this.
The first person she accepted in this family was her mother.
However, when she came back from her vacation previously, she was scolded by her mother for no reason the moment she stepped into the house. It forced her to take back the step that she had taken so much effort to move forward.
She could be easily instigated and scold her without asking for any reasonâ¦
She also knew that her parents loved her, but compared to her, they were obviously closer to Huo Sisi and trusted her more.
She could only blame herself for not curry favor like Huo Sisi.
Yan Jinyu smiled at Sun Xiangxiang before looking at Huo Lin, who was standing beside Sun Xiangxiang. She greeted him politely, âHello, Uncle.â
Compared to Sun Xiangxiang, the way Huo Lin looked at her wasnât that simple.
He treated her as Yin Jiujinâs fiancée, not Huo Siyuâs friend.
He was a little cautious.
However, he still acted like an elder on the surface and nodded slightly. He was neither warm nor distant. âYes, youâre Rainyâs friend. You can treat the Huo Family like your own home. You donât have to be reserved. Sisi, who is Rainyâs sister, grew up in South City. She also studied in South Cityâs university and is very familiar with South City. You can let her bring you and Rainy around.â
Yan Jinyu then looked at Huo Sisi, who was standing there with a polite smile and a very delicate appearance.
She looked quite pretty and her bodyâs constitution was similar to Yan Jinyun. They both didnât look very robust. However, Yan Jinyun didnât look like this even when she wasnât in very good health.
How should she put it? They were both daughters of wealthy families, but Yan Jinyun lived up to her name as the number one socialite. Although she was faking it most of the time, she made them look natural.
Huo Sisi was different. She looked pretentious.
Could it be that because Yan Jinyun was her younger sister so she had a filter for her? She felt that Yan Jinyun wasnât hateful, but she couldnât bear to stand Huo Sisi.
Or was it because Little Rain had bad mouthed her before?
Tsk, anyway, she simply didnât like Huo Sisi at first glance.
Yan Jinyu sized her up and retracted her gaze silently. She smiled at Huo Lin, âAlright, thank you, Uncle.â
At this moment, Huo Sisi stepped forward. âHello, Iâm Huo Sisi. Iâm Rainyâs elder sister. You can call me âSisterâ like Rainy.â
âTsk, who called you Sister?â Huo Siyu interrupted Huo Sisi as soon as she finished speaking.
Huo Siyuâs reaction stunned the Huo Family.
In the past, Huo Siyu wouldnât speak like this. At most, she would ignore Huo Sisi. Huo Siyu would always look easy to get along with, but she was actually very distant from others.
Of course, she had never called Huo Sisi âSisterâ either.
However, the Huo Family all thought that she didnât call Huo Sisi because she wasnât close to Huo Sisi, and not because she didnât like Huo Sisi.
Her reaction now wasnât dislike, but disgust.
Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang were shocked after being stunned, but Huo Sisiâs expression froze after being stunned.
She clenched her fists tightly at her stomach.
Then, she lowered her head and didnât speak. She looked like she was about to cry.
She said it best when she had said nothing at all!
Yan Jinyu sighed inwardly.
With Huo Sisiâs level, how could Little Rainâs straightforward personality be a match for her? Unless Little Rain didnât want her family anymore, otherwiseâ¦
Tsk tsk, the Huo Family would probably always side with Huo Sisi and not Little Rain.
Look, as soon as she did that, Sun Xiangxiang reprimanded Little Rain, âRainy, what are you saying? Sisi is my daughter too. Sheâs older than you, so you naturally have to call her âSisterâ!â
Looking into Huo Siyuâs smiling eyes, Sun Xiangxiangâs voice froze. She didnât dare to meet her eyes. âY-you shouldnât be so rude even if you donât call her âSisterâ!â
âAnd you did it in front of your friend.â
âI wouldnât have bothered to argue with her if it wasnât in front of my friend. Otherwise, no one would stand on my side once this matter blows up.â
Huo Siyuâs words stunned Yan Jinyu.
Forget it. She sighed inwardly.
Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang were also taken aback.
âW-What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean no one is on your side? In our hearts, you sisters are the same. We will side with whoever is in the right. Now that youâre in the wrong, we will naturally side with your sisterâ¦â
Huo Siyu interrupted Sun Xiangxiang, âSheâs not my sister!â
âIâm not being reasonable? Iâm simply asking when did I ever call her âSisterâ. How is that being unreasonable? Ever since I returned to the Huo Family, have you ever heard me call her âSisterâ? Iâm just telling the truth.â
âYou will side with whoever is right? Then, why did you and Dad scold me without even asking when I came back happily during my break some time ago? Why did you say that I only know how to play and not go to class?â
âAlright, I admit that. I really didnât go to class much. But have you asked me why I didnât go to class? Have you asked our counselor why I didnât go to class?â
âNo, you didnât.â
âI donât go to class because I donât have to. If I can still get first place in my major even if I donât go to class. After such a long break and the release of our test results, you and Dad didnât even ask me about that.â
âOh, you might think that I could enrol in the Imperial Capital University because of your connections and that I didnât get into it by my own abilities. You might think that Iâm not good at studying.â
âI said I didnât want to go to school when I returned to the Huo Family back then. I can understand why you wanted to send me there. After all, I would want my children to be outstanding too. However, you didnât allow me to take the exam myself when I said that I wanted to.â
âIf you donât want to let me take the exam, so be it. Iâm too lazy to take the test anyway. But just because I donât want to take the test doesnât mean that I canât.â
âActually, if you have paid more attention to me, you should have known about my situation in school. I rarely go to class, but whenever I go to class, be it a small test or a professorâs question, thereâs nothing I canât handle.â
âSo scold me if you want to. Itâs fine with me.â
âBut I canât be kind to this person who only knows how to drive a wedge between us. Sorry, I simply canât do itâ
She looked at Huo Sisi. âBesides, Huo Sisi, you didnât just do that, right?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI didnât take it to heart in the past. Firstly, I couldnât be bothered to waste my time. Anyway, I wouldnât be in the Huo Family for long. Iâll marry into the Qin Family when Iâm old enough. Secondly, Iâm in the capital and donât have the time to find evidence.â
âDo you think Iâll let go of that scheme at the banquet a year ago?â
âYou⦠Rainy, did you misunderstand something? Didnât Big Brother investigate that matter clearly? The main culprit was also dealt with by Big Brother. H-how is it related to me?â
Huo Sisiâs eyes turned red. She looked like she wanted to cry but was trying her best to hold it in. She looked very pitiful.
Hearing Huo Siyuâs words, Sun Xiangxiang remained silent for a long time with a guilty expression.
After Huo Sisi spoke, she then said hesitantly, ââ¦Rainy, you have to have evidence when you accuse someone. If you donât have evidence, itâs slander.â She didnât even dare to speak too harshly.
Rainyâs words and outburst made her shocked and guilty.
Some time ago, when Rainy came home from school, she really did scold Rainy without asking anythingâ¦
Rainy was even saying that âshe came back happilyâ.
She came back happily but was scolded by her parents for no reason the moment she stepped into the house. No one would feel good about that. At that time, Rainy didnât even explain before she dragged her luggage upstairs.
Couldnât she explain?
At that time, Rainy must have been utterly disappointed in them, that was why she didnât even want to explain.
So scold me if you want to. Itâs fine with meâ¦
She actually made her daughter say such extremely tragic words. Sheâ¦
âI donât have any evidence. Anyway, there will always be a second time when it comes to harming others. Iâll always be able to catch them. However, Huo Sisi, if you want to scheme against me again, remember to be smarter. I wonât go easy on you this time.â
Actually, her plan didnât succeed either. She let herself get drugged on purpose so that she could use the simplest method to find out who was behind it.
If it wasnât for the fact that Qin Hao brought her away and she wanted to tease him. She wouldnât have had to soak in the ice water for the entire night because of that kiss which caused her trouble.
However, she didnât lose out either. Whether it was to tease Qin Hao or to tell at a glance that Huo Sisi was the mastermind, she had achieved her goal.
