Chapter 244 - Siblings Cooperation
historical
Huo You pretended to be deep in thought. After a moment, she nodded and said, “Since you already have a plan, I’ll trust you for now. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”
She raised her hand and stretched it out in front of Huo Feng.
Huo Feng chuckled and shook Huo You’s hand.
After letting go, he said teasingly, “Dear sister, I think you should practice controlling your expressions again. You tried your best to appear calm just now, but it’s because you’re too calm that it seems fake. It’s not a good thing to let people see your true thoughts so easily.”
Huo You wanted to rebut when she was exposed, but she had just reached an agreement with Huo Feng, so she couldn’t fall out with him now. She could only suppress her anger.
The two of them sat in the greenhouse for only a while before Mrs. Huo walked in with He Yu.
She was a little surprised to see Huo Feng, who was drinking tea with Huo You. “Little Feng, why didn’t you go greet your Brother He Yu when you’re back from school? Instead, you came to disturb your sister?”
Huo Feng was not afraid of Mrs. Huo’s reproach at all. He shrugged and said relaxedly, “I heard from the butler that you guys are talking about serious matters. I don’t want to sit by the side and stare at you, so I came to talk to Sister for a while.”
Mrs. Huo said reproachfully, “You child, why do you like to be lazy? The Huo Family will be yours sooner or later. There are only benefits and no harm in listening to those things as soon as possible.”
He Yu came to the round table and supported the back of Huo You’s rattan chair. He bent down and planted a soft kiss on the side of her face, smiling gently, and asked, “What were you talking to Little Feng about?”
Huo You instinctively wanted to dodge when she sensed He Yu approaching. However, Huo Feng’s gaze was directed at her, as if reminding her not to forget the plan they had discussed.
Huo You stiffly stopped herself from opening her mouth further and let He Yu kiss her cheek. However, she hadn’t mastered the art of putting up a front, so she couldn’t answer He Yu’s question.
Huo Feng naturally took over the conversation. “I wanted to bond with Sister. Sister has just returned to our house yet she is going to be snatched away by Brother He Yu. I feel extremely unhappy about this, so I told Sister that if you don’t treat her well, I’ll run away from home with her.”
He Yu bowed to Huo Feng pleadingly. “With a younger brother like you, how would I dare to do anything bad to Youyou? Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely accept your supervision.”
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Feng proudly. “Our Little Feng has always been protective of his elder sister since he was young. It would be even better if he were more concerned about his family’s career.”
The hypocritical conversation went on for a while. In the end, Mrs. Huo thought of something and reminded them again, “Little Feng, Youyou, you have to pay more attention to this engagement banquet, especially Youyou. You have to remember to carefully check the list of students you’re inviting. Don’t let those unpresentable students from the past appear at banquets that don’t match their identities, understand?”
Of course, Huo You understood. Mrs. Huo was talking about the students she knew as ordinary people before she returned to the Huo Family. In her previous life, she had some friends who came from ordinary backgrounds. However, after her rebirth, Huo You knew who she should befriend. Therefore, she only had superficial connections with those students who came from ordinary backgrounds.
If Mrs. Huo had shown more concern to Huo You, she would know that she had never been on good terms with anyone who didn’t match her status. The fact that Mrs. Huo was reminding her now only meant that she hadn’t cared about her daughter at all.
Huo You’s heart turned cold, but she still smiled gently. “I understand, Mom. I’ll let you take a look after I’ve drafted the invitation list..”
