“If you already knew, why didn’t you tell us? I know that you are close with Chen, but the relationship will do him no good. Don’t forget his status! As a captain, how could he be involved in this scandal? And with his own niece!”
Huo Yunting saw down beside her and patted her on the back. “I’ll just rebuild the reputation of the family that they ruined, alright?”
“You are still not taking this seriously!” She glared at Xue Yuming opposite her as she continued speaking to Huo Yunting, “You must bring them back here!”
“I will, don’t you worry, grandma.”
Huo Yunting answered almost casually, but he meant every word he said.
Xue Yuming had tried countless times calling Lu Zhaoyang in the last few hours. She was feeling equal parts anxious, worried and angry.
Suddenly, the old missus yelled threateningly at her, “If your daughter does no return, I will have you and her both leave the Huo family!”
“... Don’t worry, mum, Yang Yang will come back!”
Xue Yuming replied promptly. She and her daughter were close. She would not abandon her like this.
Nevertheless, the fact that her daughter was not answering the phone made Xue Yuming feel annoyed and even hate toward her daughter.
Did her daughter really left everyone behind for a man she had been separated from a few years ago?
Did she never consider her own mother’s situation in the Huo family?!
The call would not go through, so Xue Yuming began to send messages, hoping that her daughter would read them when the phone was switched on.
Huo Yunting threw a flat glance at Xue Yuming and said, “Let’s go get some sleep, grandma. They wouldn’t be back so soon.”
The old woman felt like saying more, but in the end she settled for another hard glare at Xue Yuming before leaving the living room.
With the old missus gone, Xue Yuming felt the heavy pressure on her shoulders lifted a little. She turned to look at Huo Zhenning, who was also quietly angry at the whole scandal.
“Husband...”
“Yuming, your daughter... Do you really know nothing about this?” Huo Zhenning asked her solemnly.
“I really don’t. How could I allow her to do such thing?”
Xue Yuming was not a fool. She would never allow anything that could endanger her position in the Huo family.
“They were together a few years ago. Lu Zhaoyang was still in university back then!” Huo Zhenning said slowly. “Huo Chen was still in the military and not yet in a comma.”
“Husband, Yang Yang was always alone back in the capital when she was in university. I was staying back at our old house and I never heard her mention anything about a boyfriend whenever I visited her.”
Xue Yuming put down her phone and went to Huo Zhenning. She put an arm around his and said, “Brother-in-law’s identity was kept under tight wraps back then. Perhaps Yang Yang didn’t even know that his family name is Huo back then.”
That must be true...
When she was about to get married to Huo Zhenning, her daughter was very supportive and did not express any objections.
Huo Zhenning inhaled deeply, looking very tense. “This is a very important matter. You must make sure that they come back home!”
Xue Yuming nodded quickly, remembering the threat by the old missus of chasing her out of the house!
“I’ll find a way. My daughter is sensible enough.”
Yang Yang had always behaved well in the Huo family. Huo Zhenning treated her well, while the old Mrs Huo was also fond of her. Even Huo Yunting with his difficult personality was occasionally open to her suggestions.
How did things end up like this...
