Huo Jiaxi has been going to parties, banquets, and nightclubs lately.
Wherever he goes, he is surrounded and fawned over by a group of people.
Everyone now knows about the distribution of the Huo family's inheritance.
Huo Jiaxi is Huo Li's only child. In the future, won't the Huo family be handed over to Huo Jiaxi?
As for Huo Jiayuan, hardly anyone mentions him at this time.
Huo Jiayuan stayed at home, scrolling through his WeChat Moments.
Seeing the people who used to fawn over him now surrounding Huo Jiaxi, he was instantly filled with rage.
Out of sight, out of mind, Huo Jiayuan simply tossed his phone aside.
Still furious, Huo Jiayuan punched the pillow hard.
"What a despicable person!"
How could he change his attitude so quickly? He used to give these people a lot of expensive gifts for their birthdays.
Now they're all sucking up to Huo Jiaxi, even though they know perfectly well that he and Huo Jiaxi don't get along.
They really don't give him any face at all, and they don't care about his feelings at all?
Huo Jiayuan thought for a moment, then picked up his phone again. He wanted to see who was surrounding Huo Jiaxi.
He wanted to write down all these people's names so he could stay away from these fake friends in the future.
After scrolling through his entire WeChat Moments, Huo Jiayuan sadly discovered that apart from a few close friends he had grown up with, he had no other friends.
The rest of them had already gathered around Huo Jiaxi.
Huo Jiayuan muttered, "So annoying."
Then I realized that his birthday was just a few days away.
He just had a falling out with the Huo family, so they definitely won't be holding a birthday banquet for him.
As for Pei Zhi?
Huo Jiayuan dared not have any hope for Pei Zhi.
That heartless Pei Zhi, don't forget his birthday, he should be thanking his lucky stars.
Huo Jiayuan now regrets it; he shouldn't have been so impulsive as to announce his will in front of everyone.
At least this way, he can still have a grand birthday celebration.
Now, even if he manages to organize a birthday party, the only people who will attend are his few friends.
The rest of the people probably wouldn't want to come.
Then isn't this birthday party just a laughing stock?
Huo Jiayuan has no other faults, except that he is very concerned about his image.
Huo Jiayuan sighed, and his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello."
"Jiayuan, your birthday is coming up soon. How about we charter a plane and go on a trip abroad?"
"Yeah, yeah, how about we go see the aurora borealis?"
Huo Jiayuan's friends were discussing what to do since Huo Jiayuan's birthday was coming up soon.
In previous years, Huo Jiayuan's birthday celebrations were always quite grand, and he was always the center of attention.
This year, in order to avoid Huo Jiayuan becoming a laughing stock.
Huo Jiayuan's friends thought it would be better to charter a plane and take Huo Jiayuan on a trip abroad.
That way, people won't laugh at us.
"There was no one else, just the few of us,"
"We're treating, you just need to send one person."
The person who said this was punched by the person holding the phone.
Even if they were treating, they didn't need to tell Huo Jiayuan over the phone. Wouldn't that seem like they were mocking Jiayuan?
The friend who offered to treat seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words.
A friend tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Jiayuan, we were just thinking that you don't need anything for your birthday, so please don't make it difficult for us to give you a gift. We'll just pay for a trip for you."
"No need." Huo Jiayuan didn't intend to blame his friend.
"I'm not going anywhere. This year, I'll just spend my birthday with Pei Zhi, quietly and peacefully. That'll be fine."
After Huo Jiayuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Huo Jiayuan has no intention of going abroad to see the aurora borealis.
It's fine if he goes on a normal day, but if he goes on his birthday, the group of people behind him will mock him as soon as he leaves, thinking that he ran away because he was afraid of being laughed at.
No matter what, Huo Jiayuan cannot desert his post.
Huo Jiayuan scratched his hair in frustration, "Huo Jiayuan, Huo Jiayuan, why do you care so much about what other people think!"
"I didn't do anything wrong!"
Grandpa gave him such a small amount of food; it wasn't his fault. Why is he hiding at home and afraid to go out?
Okay, Huo Jiayuan admits that he is afraid of seeing those people looking at him with pitiful, sympathetic eyes.
Therefore, Huo Jiayuan, who loves excitement, would rather lock himself at home and not go out.
When Pei Zhi returned home, she heard from the maid that Huo Jiayuan had not gone out again today and had only eaten a little lunch.
The maid was a little troubled. "Ask the young master what he wants to eat, and he'll eat whatever he wants."
"Alright, his poor appetite has nothing to do with the chef."
Pei Zhi knew that eating anything was fine, but it was even more difficult than ordering food.
Huo Jiayuan is in a bad mood and has no appetite, not because the chef's cooking is bad.
Pei Zhi went upstairs and saw Huo Jiayuan curled up on the tatami mat on the balcony, actually reading a book.
This really opened Pei Zhi's eyes.
This was the first time Pei Zhi had ever seen Huo Jiayuan calm down and read a book in all the time she had known him.
Huo Jiayuan was not the type of person who could patiently read books.
"Is the book good?"
Huo Jiayuan put down his book in frustration and said with a wronged expression, "I don't understand it."
Huo Jiayuan clutched the book. "I just don't understand. I graduated from a prestigious university. Does that mean I've forgotten all my knowledge as soon as I leave school?"
Pei Zhi took the book from Huo Jiayuan's hand. All the books in the villa were brought by Pei Zhi.
