Chapter 224, Reception Banquet
Finally, under the threatening gazes of his subordinates, Huo Lingyin threw his sister onto the sofa, went in to get some alcohol and a band-aid to help her treat the wound.
The team members tactfully said goodbye, leaving the two sisters to love and hate each other.
Huo Heng walked to the door and heard someone calling his name behind him.
He stopped.
Huo Lingge pricked up his ears and listened, but didn't hear any footsteps.
She asked Huo Heng: "Ah Heng, will you come back for the welcoming banquet tonight? I...I have something to tell you."
Huo Heng turned around and saluted respectfully: "Okay."
"Yeah." Huo Lingge pressed his bleeding finger and whispered, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
The girl was blind, so Huo Heng would pay special attention to his tone every time he replied to her, so as not to cause her unnecessary fantasies.
"The team has been very busy lately, so..."
"I know." Huo Lingge's dark eyes stared at where he was, and he smiled slightly. "You and your sister are having a hard time, I know, but I can't help you. I..."
"Second Miss, just take good care of yourself, otherwise the captain will be worried..."
"Ah, is my sister worried about me?" The dim eyes suddenly brightened, and Huo Lingge asked anxiously, "Did she say she was worried about me?" The girl smiled shyly, "I thought she didn't like me..."
Huo Heng saw Huo Lingge's shy look, and the man suddenly doubted his initial judgment.
Could it be that, as Miss Jiang said, the Captain and the Second Miss are truly in love?!
Huo Lingyin came down from upstairs and saw the two of them standing facing each other. The woman's brows turned cold and she deliberately increased her pace.
"Ah, sister." Huo Lingge turned to her with a guilty look on his face, "I've caused you trouble again."
It was the same expression again... It was obvious that both Huo Sichan and Huo Heng had always doted on her the most.
As long as it is what she wants, as long as it is what she expects, they will satisfy her.
But she always had this expression—soft, harmless, aggrieved… As soon as she showed this expression, they would be doubly nice to her and treat her like the little princess of the Huo family.
But, that position should have been hers.
She is the daughter of the Huo family, the younger sister of Huo Sichan, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, and... completely different from the adopted daughter Huo Lingge. She is the child who inherited the bloodline of the Huo family.
It was with this expression that she snatched away everything that originally belonged to her.
Sensing the murderous intent in Huo Lingyin's eyes, Huo Heng calmly walked up to her and said, "Captain, leave the bandaging to me."
Huo Lingyin looked up at him after being called back to her senses, with a half-smile on her face: "Are you protecting her like this?"
Huo Heng pursed his lips, did not answer, and took the medicine and Band-Aid from her hand.
Huo Lingyin didn't insist and walked to the sofa opposite Huo Lingge and sat down.
Huo Heng squatted beside the sofa and treated Huo Lingge's wound.
His movements were very careful, but Huo Lingge still had tears in her eyes. She looked at Huo Lingyin with a very uncomfortable look, and said aggrievedly: "Sister..."
Huo Lingyin: “…”
Seeing the girl's tearful eyes gave him goose bumps. Huo Lingyin took a few steps to the two of them and pushed Huo Heng aside: "Get out of the way, I'll do it."
Huo Heng let go and stepped aside.
Huo Lingyin roughly applied medicine and put a Band-Aid on her sister in a few strokes. She was nowhere near as gentle as Huo Heng, but Huo Lingge had a smile on her face and looked very happy.
"Sister, you must come to the welcoming banquet tonight."
She took back her bandaged hand, blinked expectantly, and emphasized: "You must come."
Huo Lingyin glanced at the silent Huo Heng and gave him a wink. The man who was about to leave stopped.
She said slowly, "A welcoming banquet?"
"Well, Big Brother arranged this several days ago to commend you for the success of this mission."
Huo Lingyin sneered: "He's been planning for so long, why didn't he come and invite me in person?"
"Well..." Huo Lingge twirled his fingers and said timidly, "Brother is injured. The new injury has brought back an old one. He was tossing and turning until late at night yesterday. When I left this morning, he was still sleeping."
Huo Lingyin's face darkened slightly as he repeated, "Injured?"
Huo Sichan is the head of the Huo family, and he is said to be protected by new friends. How could he be injured?
At this time, who would ignore the operation of the base and attack Huo Sichan?
Just a change of thought, and Huo Lingyin had a suspect.
The woman's smile turned cold. "I understand. I'll go there tonight."
She called someone in and told him to take Huo Lingge back to the Huo family compound.
After the girl left, Huo Lingyin casually swept the medicinal wine used by the girl into the trash can.
She leaned back on the sofa, looking tired. She closed her eyes and muttered, "With those old immortals around, I actually find Huo Lingge a lot more pleasing to the eye."
Sensing the change in the aura between the two sisters, Huo Heng, who rarely spoke on Huo Lingge's topic, gently responded to her words: "Those people should be taught a lesson, otherwise..."
"This question has been raised long ago." Huo Lingyin was disappointed. "Huo Sichan is kind and compassionate, he can't do anything bad."
“…”
"Since he can't do it, then I have to do it. Coincidentally, the time is ripe now."
…
After a good sleep, Jiang Ran energetically took Si Xu out to visit the Beichen base.
"Have you heard? Captain Huo brought back a lot of supplies this time, which can temporarily solve the urgent need for medicine."
"Captain Huo again? It seems Captain Huo is the only one out on missions lately."
"You know that among the five special-ability teams, only Team Huo is loyal to Coach Huo."
"Hey, you can't say such nonsense."
“…”
"I heard that the Huo family is having a welcoming banquet today to welcome Captain Huo back..."
"Don't listen to it, this matter has nothing to do with us. Let's go, let's go to work."
“…”
Jiang Ran bit the candy and poked Si Xu's waist with his finger: "Welcome to the welcoming banquet, do you want to go?"
Si Xu was looking at the map in his hand, trying to find some places worth seeing.
Hearing this, he closed the map and looked at her: "Do you want to go?"
Jiang Ran nodded: "It sounds interesting."
Si Xu threw the map into the space, took the girl's hand, and made the final decision: "Then let's go to the welcoming banquet."
…
In the evening, Huo Lingyin was putting on makeup when she heard voices coming from the living room.
"Huo Lingyin lives outside alone? Why isn't she in the Huo family compound?"
This sound...
Huo Lingyin subconsciously exerted force with her fingers and almost broke the eyeshadow brush in her hand.
She quickly finished and opened the door: "Jiang Ran! Why are you here?!"
Huo Heng was talking to Si Xu, leaving Jiang Ran sitting alone in the living room.
Hearing Huo Lingyin's shout, Jiang Ran stood up and greeted her obediently: "Captain Huo, good evening."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Huo Lingyin was choked by her sweet greeting. He took a deep breath and told himself in his heart that he would not bother with her because she was pretty.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'm waiting for you to fulfill the bet."
Huo Linyin: "..." She took back what she had just said. Now she just wanted to beat her up.
