That media outlet was cowardly and chose to pay compensation without hesitation, and the compensation was quite substantial. Tongsu transferred all of this money to Tang's mother.
With the assets she received in the divorce settlement, Tang's mother could barely afford to buy a small storefront in her younger brother's small, third-tier county town.
It's not easy to become rich and famous by owning a small shop, but it's not a problem to live a peaceful life.
These things happened a long time later; right now, Tong Su has just returned home.
Of course, it's not about going back to the Tang family.
Huo Xuanxi took her to his villa.
It was already dark when Huo Xuanxi drove Tongsu to a private restaurant for dinner. She was listless and had little appetite, only drinking some plain porridge.
Huo Xuanxi noticed this and knew she would definitely be hungry in the middle of the night, so he quietly made a phone call and asked someone to prepare fresh ingredients at home in advance and put them in the kitchen.
His residence was not the Huo family mansion.
Since his parents were murdered when he was thirteen, Huo Xuanxi rarely returned to the Huo family mansion. He was always traveling and, if he returned to the capital, he would usually stay at the Huo Group Building.
However, not long ago, he had someone buy a fully furnished villa in the upscale hillside area near Mingfeng High School.
The car stopped in front of the garage. Tong Su tilted her head and said, "Didn't you only find a job after you went bankrupt? How can you live here? This house is very expensive."
The man coughed, his gaze sincere: "President Huo has great trust in my work ability and gave it to me as a welcome gift."
Tong Su glanced at him: "The house is fine, but why were those people so respectful to you when you were in that warehouse? It doesn't seem like Mr. Huo has even arranged his subordinates and henchmen for you."
"How can it not seem like it? They all admire my abilities and treat me with respect, which is understandable, right..."
Tong Su chuckled: "Strength? Forget it, it looks like you're the one who scared them!"
She continued, "I'm very grateful for your help, but I won't be staying here. I'd like to live on campus; it would be more convenient for my studies."
How could that be!
Huo Xuanxi felt a little anxious and quickly thought of how to persuade her, but his expression remained normal. He subtly changed the subject and took her on a tour of the villa.
This is a three-story villa with a garden on one side and a swimming pool on the other. The interior decoration is already complete, and you can move in immediately.
The second bedroom connects to a large study, with bright floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the exquisite garden. One can imagine how enjoyable it would be to sit by the window and read during the day.
The bookshelves in the study were filled with large volumes of original English books, some brand new and others worn from repeated readings.
Huo Xuanxi originally wanted to show Tong Su how spacious and comfortable the house was, but when he saw the little girl standing in front of the bookshelf, staring at the books and unable to move, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“Ahem,” he said, “I enjoy reading in my spare time. You can browse through any of the books you like.”
She smiled a little awkwardly: "I still can't understand the original English version..."
“I’ll teach you,” he said casually, his face radiating an air of righteous indignation. “I’ve lived in the US and the UK for many years, so my spoken English should be pretty good. Foreign languages are easier to learn in context, aren’t they?”
The little girl clearly hesitated.
Huo Xuanxi didn't rush to force her. He called to have toiletries and a change of clothes delivered for the night, and continued to show Tongsu around the villa.
During the conversation, he inadvertently revealed that he had also taken courses in advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry. If judged by academic qualifications, he would be at the doctoral level, more than qualified to teach a high school student.
The little girl's gaze hesitated, no longer as resolute as before.
