Chapter 308: Each Has His Own Plans
"Aunt Xue, keep it for yourself, I have more at home." She came here to watch the fun, and she had to pay for the show. She heard that Huo Yan and Bai Shuya were coming back today, and there was also Yu Xi.
Xue Mingxuan looked at Li Yao with emotion: "Girls are really considerate. I've been lame at home for so many days, and Huo Yan didn't come. Giving birth to a son is worse than having barbecued pork."
Yan Yi and Bai Shuya, who had just arrived at the door, stopped. Huo Yan's mouth twitched. Could he be blamed for this? He just found out about it today.
"It's better to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than a son." Xue Mingxuan continued to complain. The more she looked at Li Yao, the more she liked her. If she couldn't have her as a daughter-in-law, then having her as her goddaughter would be fine.
"Mom, I heard it." Huo Yan pulled Bai Shuya in.
The moment she came in, Bai Shuya and Li Yao met eyes, and Bai Shuya looked at Li Yao with contempt.
She thought Li Yao would be the first to withdraw from the competition, but she didn't expect that she could persist until now and still have a good relationship with Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue. When Li Yao was sick before, Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue treated her so well, and she was extremely jealous.
Seeing this, Li Yao stood up to leave, but was kept by Huo Yan. He would be confused when it came to feelings, but bystanders could see things more clearly. He kept Li Yao to find out what position she held in the relationship between him and Yu Xi.
Since Huo Yan invited her to stay, Li Yao used some of her special powers to reduce her presence in order to have a better time watching the show.
The people of the Huo family also gradually ignored Li Yao's existence.
Xue Mingxuan sneered, "You finally came back. Are you here to see me, your injured mother, or to see Bai Yueguang, the one you've been thinking about upstairs?"
Huo Yan said: "Of course I came to see my mother."
Xue Mingxuan sneered, and said to Bai Shuya who was sitting quietly beside her: "You have been with Huo Yan for so many years and we are the least worried. Our family is not the kind of unreasonable people. If you want to leave, our family will give you the biggest compensation and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the inner city and the outer city for the rest of your life."
Bai Shuya nodded and suddenly felt that it was okay to leave the Huo family. The director came that day and gave them guns, and in the end he even wanted to kill for points. If she stayed in the Huo family, she could not go out. If the Huo family provided her with protection personnel, their safety would also be guaranteed.
In an instant, Bai Shuya thought of her future escape route in her mind.
Xue Mingxuan said to Uncle Huo, "Go and call Yu Xi down."
Yu Xiliyao only took a quick look that day, as everyone was wearing thick clothes and couldn't see clearly.
Yu Xi dressed neatly and looked at herself in the mirror. She had eaten well and slept well in the past few days. Her complexion had improved a lot and her face looked better than before.
She dressed herself up beautifully every day because she knew that the Huo family would not lock her up for life. If she was taken out, she would have to face Huo Yan and his family. She had to look better than that stand-in.
After these few days, she was more certain that she wanted to stay in the Huo family. Not only did they have heating, but the food and drinks were the same as before the apocalypse. Now it has been several years since the apocalypse, and their lives have not changed.
Sometimes Yu Xi felt a little regretful and wondered why she left Huo Yan. If she had always been by Huo Yan’s side, would everything that substitute had belong to her?
She was lost in thought when the door that had been closed was opened today. Yu Xi's heart was pounding, knowing that this day had finally come.
"Madam, please go down." Butler Huo said politely.
Yu Xi stared at Butler Huo's face and said, "Butler, I haven't seen you for many years."
Housekeeper Huo just led the way in silence. When going down the stairs, she looked at the people sitting below and subconsciously ignored Li Yao.
When she arrived in the living room, the first thing she saw was Huo Yan and Bai Shuya sitting together intimately.
Bai Shuya looked at her hand that was being held. In the past, when Huo Yan was nervous, he would hold her hand tightly. But today, Huo Yan was not nervous at all, so there might be some problems with her plan to leave.
She decided to first see the Huo family's attitude towards Yu Xi. If they didn't care about Yu Xi, perhaps she could use this woman to successfully leave the Huo family.
"Aunt Xue." She called Xue Mingxuan in a low voice, as if she was very afraid of her, and then looked at Huo Yan expectantly, "Brother Huo Yan."
At this moment, Li Yao felt that her eyes were not enough, as the expressions on everyone's faces were so interesting.
Xue Mingxuan's impatience, Bai Shuya's meaningful expression, and Huo Yan's expressionless face.
Moreover, Yu Xi's behavior of being so afraid of Xue Mingxuan would definitely lead Huo Yan to misunderstand that she had not been well taken care of in the Huo family these days. However, if it was made clear, Yu Xi could say that Huo Yan was overthinking.
This girl is amazing.
No one paid any attention to her, only Xue Mingxuan said, "Sit down."
Yu Xi bit her lip and sat down obediently. Xue Mingxuan's expression eased a little: "You must have had a hard time these years."
Yu Xi's eyes were red. "It's a mess outside. We came back together with a group of people. We only have one goal, which is to return to the embrace of our motherland."
Xue Mingxuan was not interested in her affairs, and she asked that question just now out of politeness.
Huo Yan didn't even glance at Yu Xi.
Xue Mingxuan looked at Yu Xi and said, "Don't leave in the future."
Yu Xi's hands suddenly clenched her clothes. What made Xue Mingxuan's attitude change so quickly? Based on her understanding of Xue Mingxuan, it was definitely not that simple.
Perhaps getting Huo Yan back and integrating into the Huo family would be several times more difficult than before.
Xue Mingxuan said, "Our Huo Yan received a favor from your brother, and now it's time for us to repay him. I have asked Old Huo to arrange a job and accommodation for you in the inner city. You must live a good life in the future."
This is completely different from the promise made to Bai Shuya. It is genuine and tangible benefits for Bai Shuya, but what is given to Yu Xi seems to be no different from that to Bai Shuya, but if you think about it carefully, the difference is like heaven and earth.
Not to mention accommodation, there are many things that can be manipulated when arranging a job. Whether it is an ordinary job or a good job, how she will live in the future depends on herself.
Obviously Yu Xi had figured it out, but she had no chance to refute it now. In the future, when she became someone close to Huo Yan again, she would get everything back.
"Thank you, Auntie." Yu Xi could only accept it obediently. She knew Xue Mingxuan's preferences clearly. She was able to give her these because she was well-behaved and did not make trouble. If she was still dissatisfied, she would not even get these.
Xue Mingxuan looked at Huo Yan and Bai Shuya again: "In half a month, your aunt will hold a huge wedding for their son and daughter-in-law. All the important people in the inner city have been invited. You should act quickly."
Li Yao touched her chin. Yue Han and Ruan Qiyu's wedding would be held in half a month. She would be able to watch it with her own eyes in this lifetime, but she didn't know what kind of gift she should give to her former best friend.
Bai Shuya looked at Huo Yan and said, "It depends on Huo Yan's arrangements, but his work is more important now."
