Huo Cheng also looked at Huo Yan.

The meaning in his eyes was quite clear.

Is he really swearing?

Huo Yan?

"No, how could that be? Why would I scold you for no reason?"

Feeling a little guilty under the watchful eyes of the two pairs of eyes, Huo Yan stammered out a reply and then walked towards the kitchen. His older brother wouldn't buy him breakfast, so he had to cook it himself.

Who knew he was so distracted that he didn't see the sofa in front of him while walking and bumped straight into it.

Such a big person bumping into a sofa is naturally not a big deal.

It's just that minor issues couldn't be avoided.

Huo Yan tripped over the sofa, his body leaned forward, and he was about to fall flat on his face.

Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his hands on the floor in time, thus avoiding close contact between his face and the ground.

Looking at the floor so close to him, Huo Yan felt a lingering fear, his heart pounding wildly.

"This is the retribution for lying."

But then Yingyue's voice rang out from the side.

Huo Yan!!!

Damn it, I forgot she was a Taoist nun whose words became law!

Huo Yan got up, looking at Ying Yue with displeasure, wanting to ask her if she had used some means to make him fall.

"Are you a monster? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Cheng's cold gaze silenced him.

"Huo Yan".

Huo Cheng's gaze was cold, and his voice was even colder, "I'm reminding you again, you're twenty-one years old, not two."

"Think before you speak."

His behavior should be more like that of an adult.

Otherwise, how will they be able to support the Huo family in the future?

Leaving aside the future, in these turbulent times, everyone's words and actions could very well become a pretext for others to arrest and report them.

As a member of the Huo family, Huo Yan had no idea how many people were eyeing the Huo family.

Huo Yan pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

I'm feeling a bit down.

"elder brother……"

There are three siblings in their family. Whether it's his brother or Huo Qing, they are always the "other people's children".

He's stuck in the middle, mediocre, and has no skills whatsoever...

"I'm going back to my room."

Huo Yan was reminded of painful memories and left dejectedly.

Huo Cheng watched his retreating figure go upstairs, his thin lips pursed, and said nothing.

Yingyue glanced at Huo Cheng, then at Huo Yan, and found the atmosphere between the brothers rather strange.

She stepped forward and took Huo Cheng's hand.

"I am not a monster."

He blurted out an explanation out of the blue, "I won't hurt anyone, I don't have any special abilities, he just fell down because he was feeling guilty."

She didn't care what Huo Yan thought.

She didn't want Huo Cheng to be afraid of her.

Huo Cheng gave a faint smile and reassured her, "I know."

"Then do you believe me?"

Yingyue is quite stubborn.

A pair of clear, bright eyes were focused intently on the person in front of them.

Huo Cheng gave a soft "hmm".

"believe."

Yingyue smiled.

Auspicious beasts can bring good fortune to people, not only because they are endowed with good luck by the heavens, but also because of another very important reason.

That means the other party must truly believe in the auspicious beast.

As the saying goes, if you believe, it will work; if you don't believe, it won't. This is based on fact.

After they finished talking, Huo Cheng took Yingyue out.

Yingyue pushed Huo Cheng's wheelchair around the courtyard. They encountered many people along the way, who were all surprised to see her, thinking that Yingyue was a new nanny hired by the Huo family.

They came specifically to take care of Huo Cheng.

Those clueless aunties and grandmas had been planning to introduce their relatives' daughters to Huo Cheng while he was injured.

However, Huo Cheng never went out before, and even when he did, Liu Qiuyue or Huo Yan would accompany him, so they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to 'promote' their relatives.

Now that they see a dull-witted nanny pushing Huo Cheng out, shouldn't they seize this opportunity?

So, just as Yingyue pushed Huo Cheng forward a short distance, several people tried to walk this way.

However, before they could get close to Huo Cheng, they heard someone shout that someone had fallen into the water.

The middle-aged women who originally came to promote their daughters immediately sensed the gossip when they heard that a woman had fallen into the water and a man had jumped in to save her.

Faced with the choice between promoting their relative's daughter and simply enjoying the spectacle, they chose the latter.

He took off running towards the artificial lake in the compound.

They were afraid that if they were a step too late, they would miss out on this excitement.

The people who were about to gather around all ran away at once.

Huo Cheng, who was originally prepared to chat with them, raised his eyebrows slightly upon seeing this.

The person who fell into the water did so rather coincidentally.

But he wasn't thinking about it much at the moment.

Yingyue pushed him through the narrow path of the compound and arrived at the retirement home, which was separated from the compound by only one wall.

His grandparents were both veterans who were assigned to a retirement home here after they retired.

The compound where the Huo family now lives was allocated to Huo Guangming based on his position.

In an era when other families were crammed into a small room of just over ten square meters, the Huo family had a room for each member.

It was a small Western-style house with a front and back yard.

No wonder everyone wants to marry their daughters into the Huo family; the Huo family's accommodations alone are enough to attract people.

Not to mention Old Master Huo, Old Madam Huo's position before retirement, Huo Guangming's current position, and Huo Cheng's position before his injury.

Those were all top-notch families.

However, these conditions, which seem exceptionally favorable to outsiders, are quite ordinary for Yingyue.
