013 Which mother isn't crazy?
When Huo Yanxi was first adopted by the Chi family, he was filled with anxiety and fear every day.
Happiness came too suddenly, and he was afraid that if he opened his eyes, the Chi family grandmother and grandson would kick him out.
He was very thin and malnourished at that time, looking like a weak chick of four or five years old.
He wasn't even as tall as Chi Xiaoman, so Grandma Chi found Chi Xiaoman's old floral dress for him to wear.
He was afraid of being abandoned, so he would secretly save up some food every day and hide it away.
He thought that with these meals, even if he were kicked out of the Chi family one day, he could live a few more days.
He didn't expect the food to spoil if left out for too long. Following the smell, Chi Xiaoman found where he had hidden the food.
The little girl was so angry that her face turned red, but she still couldn't bear to scold him. She only told him that there was food at home and he wouldn't go hungry, and that he was not allowed to hide any more food.
But she had no idea of his unease and fear, and he still hid a little bit every day.
Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, they hid food everywhere, and over time, the whole house smelled sour.
That day, the little girl got really angry. She imitated how her grandma used to spank her, pinning him to her knees and slapping his bottom with her chubby little hand.
He was young, unafraid of bloodshed or tears, yet he knew that while the slap might not be very damaging, it was extremely humiliating.
He broke free from her grasp, blushing, and hid in the woodpile. From that day on, he never dared to secretly hide food again.
Pulling himself out of his memories, Huo Yanxi looked downstairs again.
Xie Ziyu blushed, covered his buttocks with both hands, and maintained his cool guy persona.
"Mommy, a man's bottom is a matter of dignity; you can't just spank him."
Looking at his flushed face, Xie Yaoyao inexplicably recalled that when they were children, she had also spanked Huo Yan by pressing him down on her knees in an attempt to correct his habit of eating Tibetan food.
At that time, his expression was exactly the same as Xie Ziyu's, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.
Xie Yaoyao was both annoyed and amused, but she managed to keep her composure and maintain the dignity of the head of the household.
"Are you still going to cause trouble?"
Xie Ziyu behaved himself and stopped being a troublemaker. "I won't make trouble anymore. I'll be good and obedient."
Xie Yaoyao felt heartbroken looking at him. He just wanted her to eat more. It was a filial act from the child. What was wrong with him?
She patiently said, "Yubao, this is someone else's house, not ours. Can you cook for me when we get home?"
Xie Ziyu lowered his head, kicked the ground with his toes, and reluctantly said "Oh".
If he can't go into the kitchen and cook, how can he please his scumbag father?
Xie Yaoyao patted his head, and seeing that he kept touching his bottom, she asked him with concern, "Did it hurt when I hit you?"
Xie Ziyu's cool guy persona crumbled completely. "Don't ask me anymore. Don't I have any pride?"
Xie Yaoyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, alright, you're too proud to ask, I won't."
Xie Ziyu walked away with his hands in his pockets, looking cool and aloof.
Xie Yaoyao stood up and saw the housekeeper holding the golf club with a pained expression.
When she saw the dent in the carbon fiber composite face of the golf club, her senses returned, and she felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Uncle Jian, this isn't expensive, is it?" Xie Yaoyao's voice was trembling.
Thank God, this thing is only worth a thousand or so dollars.
Uncle Jian was heartbroken. "How can it not be expensive? You just took three million from the first wife, and now you're going to die here."
Xie Yaoyao instinctively clutched her pocket, her eyes wide with surprise. "A broken pole costs this much?"
When did Huo Yanxi become so extravagant?
Uncle Jian spoke sternly and righteously, “What things Fifth Master uses are not expensive? I just tried my best to persuade you to change one, but you just wouldn’t listen.”
Xie Yaoyao looked ashamed. "I'm sorry, Uncle Jian, is it too late for me to apologize now?"
She didn't want to lose money!
She had three million in her phone for less than an hour, barely had time to enjoy it, and it was gone just like that. She'll be heartbroken.
Uncle Jian looked at her cheap black shirt dress and sighed helplessly.
"I'll keep this a secret for you for now. Take the warranty card to the store for repairs when you have some free time."
Xie Yaoyao breathed a huge sigh of relief. "It's still under warranty, that's really great."
"You get what you pay for, and the more expensive the product, the more likely it is to come with a warranty."
Rich people aren't stupid. Who would be willing to spend three million on a golf club that can't be repaired when it breaks?
"Thank you, Uncle Jian, you saved my life." Xie Yaoyao thanked him sincerely.
Uncle Jian waved his hand, but couldn't help saying to her, "Teacher Xie, you're an adult now. Don't act impulsively. You have to consider the consequences."
Xie Yaoyao was so embarrassed by what he said that she couldn't lift her head. "Uncle Jian, I know I was wrong. What mother wouldn't go crazy if she had a naughty child at home?"
Uncle Jian: "..."
-
Huo Yanxi did not attend the brief meeting held in the afternoon; his uncle spoke on his behalf.
The central idea is that everyone should perform their own duties.
At the same time, Xie Yaoyao was appointed as the head of the tutoring group, in charge of all matters related to Huo Zidu's studies.
After the brief meeting ended, several tutors left the meeting room. The math teacher, Ms. Lin, and the English teacher, Ms. Anna, who were walking at the front, chirped softly.
"What was Mr. Huo thinking, making her the team leader? What, does her fat body have an intimidating effect?" Teacher Lin was originally there for the team leader position.
Only after she became the group leader did she have the opportunity to contact Huo Yanxi and establish this relationship, which would allow her to roam freely in the education sector of Hong Kong.
Teacher Anna scoffed, "Keep your voice down, she's right behind you. She's the group leader now, aren't you afraid she'll make things difficult for you later?"
"I'm afraid of her." Teacher Lin deliberately raised her voice, wanting Xie Yaoyao to hear.
Teacher Anna pushed her downstairs, saying, "I know you're not afraid, but I am, okay?"
The Huo family is very generous; they pay three thousand yuan for two hours. Where else can you find such a good job?
Teacher Lin was no pushover. Thinking about how Xie Yaoyao had received three million yuan in tutoring fees that afternoon, she was consumed by jealousy.
What exactly makes Xie Yaoyao so special?
"I heard she still lives here. What if she has any improper thoughts about President Huo? Wouldn't she be cruel to him?"
Xie Yaoyao walked behind and heard everything clearly, but she pretended that she hadn't heard anything.
Getting into a fight with a colleague on her first day of work will hinder her progress in her work.
After Teacher Lin and Teacher Anna left the villa one after the other, Xie Yaoyao glanced at the time.
It was only a little past four o'clock, but she was already thinking about getting her golf clubs repaired. She went downstairs to get the warranty card from Uncle Jian, slung the golf clubs over her shoulder, and headed down the mountain to the shop to get them repaired.
As soon as she stepped out of the villa, a black Cullinan drove out of the garage.
The car screeched to a halt beside her, and the rear window rolled down, revealing Huo Yanxi's stunningly handsome face.
His skin was pale and cold, and he sat in the shadows, almost blending into the darkness. His long, narrow phoenix eyes were eerily black.
Where to?
Xie Yaoyao quietly hid the golf club behind her back and said with a forced smile, "I'm going down the mountain to buy something."
Huo Yanxi had already noticed the golf clubs on her back. "I'm going to Central. I'll give you a ride along the way."
Xie Yaoyao thought she had kept it a secret, but little did she know that she had already been completely exposed.
She chuckled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huo. I will definitely fix the cue."
Huo Yanxi had a half-smile on his lips. "It's okay. If it can't be fixed, you can use the three million you just got to compensate me."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
This joke is not funny at all.
