However, the car had already arrived at the old house parking lot. Huo Lin took a powerful step, got out of the car, and went around to the other side to open the car door for her. "We're here, get out."

Xun Ting gave me the feeling of being forced into something, but ptooey! She's not a duck.

In the end, she was forced to enter the villa hand in hand with the villain. The four elders of the Huo family were sitting nervously on the sofa, but when they saw them come in, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

"How about we hear it? Huo Laosan didn't know to bring you back sooner, and now I'm missing you terribly."

Xun Ting was touched by the old lady's natural friendliness, which instantly eased the awkwardness. Unfortunately, lacking formal education, he could only manage a simple "Hello, Grandma Huo."

"Alright, alright, listen to why you would fall for someone like the third son?" Grandma Huo was kind and approachable.

Upon hearing this, the other three also looked at Xun Ting nervously, waiting for her reply.

"..." Something about that doesn't feel right. Shouldn't we be asking why Huo Lin would take a liking to a girl like her?

Xun Ting felt the grip on her hand tighten slightly, and she chuckled dryly, "Mr. Huo, you're very outstanding, and... rich. It's not just me who'd be interested; I believe many girls would like you too."

"Hahahaha, this little girl is really honest! She even said she's rich."

Grandpa Huo laughed heartily; he liked people who spoke their minds.

Xun Tingting became even more nervous listening to the laughter beside her. What exactly did this family mean? It didn't seem like they were going to throw a check at her and tell her to get lost.

Her scalp tingled, and she had no choice but to continue, "Of course, I know my family is not well-off and I am marrying above my station. As soon as he finds another girl he likes, I will leave immediately and will never bother him."

"Didn't I give you a black card?" Upon hearing this, Huo Lin instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.

That little liar never forgets to distance himself from anything, no matter where he goes. But... as long as he's around, don't even think about it.

"The assets in the black card are equivalent to the entire Huo family. Listen to this, it's not that you're not good enough for the third son, it's that the third son is not good enough for you," Grandma Huo explained with a smile.

It seems the young girl is quite nervous and insecure. However, what she doesn't know is that Huo Laosan is always single-minded. He has already fallen for her, so how could he possibly fall for someone else?

Never in this lifetime.

Xun Ting was taken aback. That black card was that valuable? She subconsciously muttered to herself, "Then can I dump him? He's not good enough for me."

"If you keep working hard, you'll be worthy of me." Huo Lin reached out and turned the woman's head back, his dark eyes fixed on her, her reflection in his gaze.

His tone was neither warm nor cold, but every word he spoke was serious, making it impossible for anyone to believe he was joking.

Sensing the villain's displeasure, the observant man eagerly chimed in, "I was just joking, just kidding! Even if Master Huo had nothing, I would still be doing him a disservice!"

"Third brother, you're really scared."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Huo Lin looked up at the woman so close to him, his mood instantly improving. He let go, took a step back, and leaned back on the sofa.

"Listen, don't be afraid. The third child has always been like this, but he has a very kind heart. You'll see once you get to know him better," Grandma Huo comforted him with a smile.

“Yes, yes, Master Huo is indeed very kind.” Xun Ting nodded eagerly in agreement.

She felt like she was being insincere. Were villains kind? Absolutely not. They almost fed her to the dogs on their first meeting—it was terrifying.
