Chapter 999: 1007 Polite Challenge? (3)
Qin Huan’s eyes sparkled, "Like Miss Xiang?"
Huo Jinnan kissed Qin Huan’s forehead, "Throw her out."
Qin Huan looked up, her gaze captivating, "What about me?"
Huo Jinnan’s fingers tangled in her hair, holding tight, his voice alluring, "Bad memory, need another rehearsal?"
Qin Huan quickly surrendered, "No need."
Huo Jinnan’s eyes swept over Qin Huan’s face thickly, "Good to know."
After a pause, he kissed Qin Huan’s cheek, "Take a nap. Around three o’clock we’ll go to my parents’ place."
Qin Huan responded softly, leaning into Huo Jinnan’s embrace, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Huo Jinnan lay there, scrolling through Qin Huan’s Weibo on his phone, stumbled upon Xiang Xiran’s Weibo, his eyes turning slightly colder.
But with Xiang Xiran posting like this, there’s really nothing wrong; he couldn’t say anything.
Just as he was hesitating, he noticed a notification about a new follower. Upon opening it, he saw "Huo Family’s Elder" and his brow furrowed.
He opened the Weibo of the Huo Family’s Elder, soon finding a post, "Welcome Xiran to Hong Kong, reminds me of a morning many years ago, the sky was so blue and the sunlight so good, you had just been born then. In a blink, it’s been twenty-nine years, the little baby girl has grown into a graceful young beauty... @Xiang Xiran"
What does Grandpa mean?
Clearly, there’s a deeper meaning.
...
Xiang Xiran saw the Weibo, feeling somewhat puzzled, called Xiang Feng.
Upon hearing, Xiang Feng’s voice turned stern, "What are you doing in Hong Kong?"
Xiang Xiran felt a bit guilty, she didn’t really know why she suddenly came here, perhaps, just wanting to see the city he lives in?
"Dad, I... I just heard the scenery here is nice, came for tourism."
Xiang Feng, "There are many places with better scenery than Hong Kong!"
Xiang Xiran gazed out the window, a wave of melancholy washed over her, she didn’t make a sound.
Xiang Feng glanced at his assistant, "Look up a Weibo account named Huo Family’s Elder, see what he posted."
The assistant quickly found it, read it aloud, then looked at Xiang Feng.
Who would have thought Mr. Xiang and the Huo Family’s Elder were old acquaintances, seems like they have a good relationship.
Xiang Feng glanced at the assistant, his face showed no emotion, yet inside he was surging with waves of shock, after a long pause, his voice sunk to the extreme coldness, "There’s something here, come back tonight."
Xiang Xiran, "Dad."
Xiang Feng’s tone was devoid of any negotiation, "I don’t want to say it a second time."
Xiang Xiran, "..."
Xiang Feng checked the time, "I’ll wait for you to come back for dinner."
With those words, he hung up the phone.
Xiang Xiran listened to the busy tone, standing there, looking out the window with resentment.
Father has always been like this, treating her just like a subordinate, does he even see any familial connection in his eyes?
As a daughter, is she merely a utilitarian tool in his hands?
She checked out of the hotel, booked a plane ticket, and at five o’clock she returned to A City, arrived at the airport parking lot, found her car, and drove back to the Xiang Family.
Upon entering, she saw Xiang Feng’s cold expression, walked to the couch, lowered her head, "Dad."
Xiang Feng stood up, raised his hand, and slapped Xiang Xiran across the face with force, "What did I tell you? Don’t even think about Huo Jinnan, he’s a man with a wife and kids."
Xiang Xiran scoffed self-deprecatingly, "Dad, you were once a man with a wife and kids too..."
"Smack—"
Xiang Feng landed another heavy slap on Xiang Xiran’s face, "How dare you talk to me like this?"
"..."
Xiang Xiran did not speak anymore.
Xiang Feng looked at her, dialed the elder’s number, "Mr. Huo, I’m really sorry, my daughter was immature and caused you trouble."
