Chapter 28 [1 update]

Huo Yuyan was stunned.

He had thought that he could argue that he just happened to have some free time and came to see them. Unexpectedly, a teacher with a file bag saw them and greeted them enthusiastically: "Parents, are you here to participate in the family sports meeting? Come this way quickly, the parent-teacher meeting will start soon after the meeting!"

The teacher was enthusiastically pointing the way for them, not noticing that one of the two parents' expression was becoming more and more frightening, while the other one froze for a moment, then suddenly looked heavy, as if a disaster was about to happen.

Shen Yuntang was silent for a long time before he said lightly, "Sports meet?"

Huo Yuyan paused for a moment, and suddenly said confidently: "How come I didn't know about this? Teacher, your notice was not done well. If I had known about this sports meeting, my wife would not have come. She doesn't like to move."

The teacher was stunned and puzzled for a moment, "We have sent a group announcement in the parent group. Have all of them been read?"

Huo Yuyan: "..." Teacher, you are really ignorant.

Shen Yuntang laughed, then stopped smiling.

Then Huo Yuyan felt a sudden sharp pain in his foot. The heel of her shoe stepped down hard.

Huo Yuyan's face was grim for a moment, but his reason made him quickly restrain his expression. He endured the pain, stiffly but awkwardly said to the teacher while clenching his teeth: "...Maybe I forgot."

The teacher was quiet for a moment, then slowly smiled a polite and awkward smile, and said to the two parents who looked decent but not easy to mess with, "Well, then I'll go first, you guys come later?"

Huo Yuyan nodded heavily.

Only after the teacher quickened her pace and left did he feel Miss Shen's heels also leave.

He tried hard to maintain his pride and dignity so as not to immediately squat down and hug his knees and jump up and down.

Huo Yuyan had a stern expression, and without looking at Shen Yuntang, he said seriously: "Sorry, I may have really forgotten about this."

He paused and added with emphasis: "Really."

Shen Yuntang nodded a few times and said kindly, "Of course I understand. It's normal for Mr. Huo to have a brain disorder due to being so busy."

Without waiting for Huo Yuyan's reaction, she turned around and was about to leave.

"...Ms. Shen!" Huo Yuyan was stunned and quickly grabbed her arm. His mind tensed up and he said woodenly, "This is a family sports meeting after all. Now that everyone knows about it, it would not be good for us to embarrass Huo Xihuai——"

Shen Yuntang shook him off without blinking: "Single-parent families can also participate."

Seeing that she was about to open the door and get in the car, Huo Yuyan suddenly got bold enough to grab her hand in panic, "Shen Yuntang!"

Shen Yuntang paused, turned around, and shouted with a stern face: "Let go!"

His mind was blank but he was stubborn: "I won't lie."

He held Shen Yuntang's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away, and he had no idea what he was doing.

Shen Yuntang paused. This time she was no longer angry, she looked at him curiously, and suddenly paused, sneered and laughed mockingly.

"What is your purpose?" She sneered and raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Mr. Huo, is it possible that you just want to participate in a sports meeting with me?"

"Oh my god." Shen Yuntang's expression was extremely sarcastic, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, showing his contempt and provocation to the extreme, "You like me so much?"

“…”

The air suddenly became quiet.

Huo Yuyan's blank brain finally began to come back to its senses.

He seemed not to understand what Shen Yuntang meant, and his face looked a little confused.

After a while, his empty mind finally figured things out, and he looked at her with a blank expression.

After a while, he suddenly let go.

"Look at what Miss Shen said. Who do you think I am? I am just thinking about Huo Xihuai." He laughed heartily. "Actually, single-parent families are not prohibited from participating. Take care, Miss Shen."

Miss Shen tilted her head and looked at him for a while.

It seemed that his movements were a little unnatural.

He paused, then turned around and looked at her confidently.

Five seconds later, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the ceiling of the garage.

After looking at him for a minute, Shen Yuntang finally became too lazy to waste time with him, so she got in the car and prepared to leave, but she didn't expect that there was someone who didn't want her to leave.

A car next to them turned off its engine and the people in the car got out.

A middle-aged man with a fat belly looked at them unkindly: "Are you Huo Xihuai's parents?"

They both paused.

After a while, Huo Yuyan said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Seeing that the visitor had bad intentions, he did not put on a good face.

A man hurriedly got down from the passenger seat, looked at them, and said in surprise: "Honey, are they the parents of Huo Xihuai?"

The middle-aged man with a belly also frowned and asked arrogantly: "Did you adopt him?"

Huo Yuyan: "...I am his brother."

Belly said: "You only care about raising him but not educating him? Did you know that Huo Xihuai cheated on my son's test paper?"

Huo Yuyan paused.

Then, he suddenly smiled, imitating Shen Yuntang's contempt, and asked them: "Has the school been notified?"

Before Belly could answer, he continued, "Has the school responded? Do you have the surveillance?"

Seeing that his belly was choked, he put away the smile on his face and said expressionlessly: "There is a price to pay for spreading rumors."

Belly finally reacted, and was so angry that he raised his voice and said, "He is a person who has not been to school for a year or two. Do you believe that he can pass the selection for the chemistry competition right after entering the school?"

Huo Yuyan said as a matter of course: "Believe it."

The man was so angry that he pointed at his nose and said, "My son has always been the best in the class in chemistry, and he sits next to Huo Xihuai. He passed the test but my son didn't. You can figure out what he did just by moving your toes, right?!"

Huo Yuyan was surprised, "He copied a paper that didn't pass the line, but he passed the line?"

His belly bulged as he continued to yell, "Are you being unreasonable? He must have copied all the correct ones and surpassed my son!"

Huo Yuyan was even more surprised. "Your son can answer all the questions correctly, so why can't he pass the test?"

Big Belly was so angry that the blood boiled.

He was about to point fingers at something, but the person sitting in the car said coldly: "Why are you talking nonsense with a cerebral palsy? Isn't it all over after the monthly exam results are out today?"

The woman in the car raised her head, looked at him proudly and arrogantly, and sneered.

"Will he still be sitting next to your son during the monthly exam?"

In the book, Huo Xihuai is a future scientific research leader. How can he just pass the high school chemistry competition? He didn't even pass the first three chapters. Let's wait until he wins the Asian championship before telling her.

When Big Belly saw that it was such a beautiful woman who was scolding him, he was stunned for a moment. His arrogance had unconsciously weakened, but after hearing her arrogant words, he immediately became angry again.

"Wow, you are quite confident!"

Shen Yuntang looked at him as if he were mentally retarded: "Why am I not confident in my family's children? Just because you have inferior genes, you think others also have inferior genes? You are indeed quite confident."

The big belly was so angry that his hands were shaking and his face was red. "Okay, let's see how many points he can get without the cheat sheet!"

He slammed the car door angrily, spat on the ground, and turned away with his wife.

As soon as I turned around, two patrolling teachers came over and said sternly, "Dear parent, spitting in school will result in a fine. What is your child's name? Tell him to come and pick you up, otherwise we can only report it on the big screen at the school gate."

Big belly: “…”

After watching the two of them being dragged away, Huo Yuyan let out a breath, turned around, and said with a hunched back, "Leave the rest to me, Miss Shen, go home."

"Back to you." Shen Yuntang said.

Huo Yuyan was stunned.

Then Shen Yuntang smiled frighteningly and said in a sweet voice, "My desire to win has come up."

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Miss Shen held out her hand.

The beautiful white knuckles hang down, and the contrasting color of the nail polish is bright and eye-catching.

Huo Yuyan was stunned and didn't react.

Shen Yuntang looked at him expressionlessly, raised his chin as a matter of course, and looked at him condescendingly.

"Let's go."

It took him a long while to react.

Surprise, astonishment, shock, weirdness and bewilderment were all mixed on his face.

Another long while passed before he came back to life from his total stillness, his face looking wooden.

He was silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head and slowly stretched out his hand, letting Shen Yuntang place it in his palm.

Shen Yuntang used some force to get down from the high-floor car. Huo Yuyan followed her movements, holding onto the top of the car door with one hand and straightening his bent back.

He then numbly discovered that Miss Shen seemed quite small compared to him. The shiny black hair on her head was clearly visible.

Also, because of her aura of being able to kill gods and Buddhas who stand in her way.

He supported her not like a knight supporting a princess, but like a eunuch supporting the queen mother.

Huo Yuyan's face became even more blank.

Shen Yuntang had already walked forward, so he quickly came to his senses, closed the car door and followed.

The proud Miss Shen looked straight ahead, as if she was only supported by one of her servants, and walked with big strides without any hesitation.

And her servant followed her, his mind continuing to be blank.

Huo Yuyan felt strange.

But it doesn't seem strange.

Nothing Shen Yuntang does is strange, but he is the strange one.

He is so weird.

Why is he so nervous? They are an old married couple.

Yes, this is normal. What's wrong with holding hands as a couple? Shen Yuntang had even leaned on his shoulder, put on his clothes, and had a candlelight dinner with him. Although she scolded him, they were still a couple.

Huo Yuyan's spine had just straightened up, and he was trying to relax his stiff arms to appear more experienced. After walking a few steps and reaching the bottom of the teaching building, they looked up and met Huo Xihuai, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

Huo Xihuai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "Miss Shen, brother!"

Huo Yuyan hid his hand at lightning speed.
