When Huo Xiao heard the butler's report, his face darkened and his eyebrows furrowed instantly.

He put down the documents in his hand and raised his eyelids slightly.

Are you sure it's Mrs. Lu and Miss Lu?

Although the housekeeper is not young, his eyes are still sharp.

“Sir, I have seen Madam Lu many times when she was young, there is no way I could mistake her.”

“The second Miss Lu standing next to her, apart from being taller, has the exact same features as Madam Lu…”

After the butler finished speaking with a smile, he took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour Huo Xiao a cup of tea.

He didn't sympathize with the Lu family.

It was because Steward Xu had given prior notice that it would be best for Madam Lu to meet Lu Yi.

Otherwise, the Lu family villa would be filled with constant wailing and howling, and he would soon be unable to bear it!

"Lu Yi has gotten into such a big mess, and Lu Zhengming still hasn't shown up. That old fox is really good at keeping his cool!"

Huo Xiao picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

After pondering for a while, he clicked his tongue and said, "Let them wait in the living room... Also, call Lu Yi and hear what he thinks."

The Lu family didn't arrive early or late; they just happened to appear when Lu Yi's injuries were almost fully healed.

Huo Xiao felt sorry for Lu Yi.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

The butler straightened his hunched back the moment he stepped out the door.

After being led to the living room, Qin Fengying asked impatiently, "Does Yi'er also live here? Which room is it?"

She looked around at the villa, which was several times larger than her own home, and thought to herself that the Huo family was too generous!

This understated set of furniture is enough for an average family to buy two houses!

All the soft furnishing materials used look very expensive.

A hint of envy and humility flashed in her eyes as Qin Fengying sat down by the door.

The butler instructed the servants to bring tea and refreshments, and asked the two to wait a moment.

"Madam Lu, Miss Lu, Young Master Yi is still recovering from his serious injuries. Master usually doesn't allow him to go downstairs, and he has people to take care of his food, clothing, and other needs..."

"You two have come in such a hurry, Young Master Yi probably doesn't know yet. Let me have someone inform him first and see if it's convenient for him!"

This is a very subtle way of putting it!

Does your arrival mean you must see Lu Yi?

That's giving themselves far too much credit.

The Lu family's reputation has plummeted in the entire social circle. It's questionable whether anyone will even bother to receive them when they knock on someone's door.

You think you can put on airs after coming to the Huo family?

This housekeeper, Hua, and the one from the Fan family are related by marriage.

Both of them started out as laborers, doing all sorts of jobs, from security guards and drivers to odd jobs.

Working alongside these accomplished figures requires a certain level of experience; such individuals are not ordinary people.

Besides knowing how to please their masters, they also have a thorough understanding of the mentality of the rich.

After exchanging a few words and observing the other person's expression, he was able to discern Qin Fengying's current state of mind.

Noticing the displeasure in the butler's eyes, Lu Baofei quickly said, "No rush, then I'll trouble Uncle Hua!"

The housekeeper glanced at her with a smile.

"Miss Lu, please have a seat."

"These snacks were made in the kitchen for Young Master Yi. The master specifically instructed that you two should try them!"

The steward looked around and found that the maids had all gone off to do their own things.

He walked to the corner table and, in front of the two of them, made a phone call.

Qin Fengying and Lu Baofei looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's one thing for the Fan family to prepare this and that for Lu Yi, but isn't the Huo family being a little too nice to him?

"Does Yi'er like snacks?"

Qin Fengying picked up a piece and examined it from all angles.

She has absolutely no recollection of it.

When Lu Yi was at the Lu family home, he never mentioned that he liked to eat snacks!

Lu Han, on the other hand, has a few favorite foods.

Lu Baofei had no interest in tea or snacks; she just wanted to sound out Lu Yi whether the captured guy had any chance of waking up!

Whether he likes to eat it or not, what does that have to do with us?

"Mom, you came empty-handed. You've never been so presumptuous when you visited Uncle Wang and Uncle Ma before!"

Faced with her mother's feigned innocence, Lu Baofei showed obvious impatience and disgust.

When Lu Yi was at the Lu family home, he couldn't even get enough to eat.

The mother didn't seem to care either.

Don't you feel disgusted by constantly worrying about his diet and preferences?

"Baofei, I didn't mean to..."

Qin Fengying put down the snacks and awkwardly clasped her hands together.

“I want to give it to him too, but he always refuses. If I bring big bags and small packages, he’ll have them thrown away. Why make things so awkward!”

After she finished speaking confidently, she picked up her teacup and sipped it nonchalantly.

Lu Baofei shook her head and ignored her.

Instead, they turned their gaze to a small building across the street from the window.

I had heard long ago that Huo Xiao had acquired this manor as soon as he came out of seclusion.

From the outside, the manor is unremarkable except for its large size.

As I walked along, I realized that every step here revealed a new scene, arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, exuding unparalleled nobility and luxury in its understated elegance.

Although the Lu family's villa wasn't particularly outdated in its decor, it paled in comparison to this manor!

"Young Master Yi is in class, you two will have to wait a while!"

The butler came over and respectfully told him the truth.

"Class? What class? Wasn't he injured... Butler, please lead the way. I need to tell him what's more important than health..."

Qin Fengying slammed her teacup down on the table.

With a downturned mouth and his chest heaving violently, he pointed at the butler and began to give orders.

"Mom!" Lu Baofei's eyebrows shot up. "Do you think this is your own home?"

She regretted coming with her; if she had known she would be so distraught, she would have preferred to come by herself.
