Chapter 262: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (8)
"Don't think about it, she won't enter the entertainment industry." Fu Bojian put Huo Shichu's photo on the table and said lightly.
"Why? She did say she didn't want to be a star, but if I persuade her a few more times, she might change her mind. It would be such a waste for her to be in the entertainment industry with such a look," Jin Ming sighed.
"Because she is the eldest daughter of the Huo family. Even though Mr. Huo passed away recently, she is not so poor that she has to enter the entertainment industry to sell her face and art." Fo Baijian said calmly.
"Who do you say she is?!" Jin Ming asked him in astonishment, not believing his eyes. "She is the eldest daughter of the Huo family? The Huo family of the Huo Group?"
Jin Ming really hoped that Fo Baijian would deny it, but he nodded: "That's right."
The news that Huo Shichu ran away from home was not widely circulated, so Fu Baijian, who had little contact with the Huo family, did not know that she had basically severed ties with the Huo family.
"So she is the eldest daughter of the Huo family! No wonder she has such a special temperament. This is probably brought about by money and wealth. Ordinary people can't have it..." Jin Ming was full of emotion.
But he soon became proud again: "I said I have a good eye! You see, I fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Huo family at first sight on the street. I have a sharp eye... But it is impossible for Miss Huo to enter the entertainment industry, alas!"
He sighed at the end: "I thought we could really create a super star this time, but it turned out to be a false alarm."
"Are you done? If you're done, get out and help me close the door." Fo Baijian glanced at him lightly and said, Jin Ming is his classmate, and their relationship is more like friends than superior and subordinate, so there are not so many taboos when talking.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving..." Jin Ming left dejectedly.
After he closed the door, Fo Baijian put down the pen in his hand and picked up the photo of Huo Shichu that Jin Ming gave him.
In the photo, Huo Shichu was wearing a light blue mid-length V-neck short top. The light blue color made her skin look as white as jade, smooth and delicate, as if it was glowing.
The slender waist seemed to inadvertently reveal a small piece of jade-like skin, which seemed as if it could be held in one hand, and was particularly eye-catching.
Her two straight, slender and perfectly shaped long legs were wrapped in straight dark blue jeans, giving her a heroic beauty.
Her profile is perfect, her nose is high, her rosy lips are full, plump and beautiful, and the blue round earrings on her small and cute earlobes highlight her fair skin.
This was indeed a very beautiful woman. Fu Baijian seemed to realize Huo Shichu's beauty for the first time and looked at the photo for a long time.
Although he had met Huo Shichu before, he did not have a deep impression of her. He knew that she was young, beautiful, elegant and noble, but that was all. She looked just like other rich young ladies, as if they were trained in the same bridal school. She had no personal characteristics and was all the same. Even the curvature of her smile was exactly the same.
However, Huo Shichu, whom he had only seen in photos this time, gave him a different feeling, as if a domestic canary had suddenly mutated and turned into a black-winged kite, fierce, beautiful, and full of wildness. It could soar into the sky and could not be controlled by humans.
It was also like a pale portrait of a person that was dyed with color and injected with soul, becoming bright and dazzling. Fu Bojian was fascinated by Huo Shichu for a moment.
Of course, maybe it was more than just a moment.
Fo Baijian put the photo into his drawer and had no intention of returning it to Jin Ming or Huo Shichu.
After get off work, for some unknown reason, he suddenly moved back to live in the same house as the Huo family.
After all, they are from the same class, so it's normal for them to have a house in the same district. It's just that Fu Baijian doesn't often come back to live here. He suddenly came back this time, and the housekeeper was very surprised and asked him about his well-being.
Fu Baijian sat on the balcony on the second floor of his house, drinking tea and looking at the Huo family's mansion not far away. He asked the housekeeper casually, "By the way, the old man of the Huo family passed away not long ago. It seems that there are only a few people left in their family?"
Seeing that he was interested in the Huo family, the housekeeper immediately told him everything he knew: "The Huo family has been miserable in recent years. First, the eldest son and his wife died in a plane crash, leaving behind a ten-year-old child. Then, a few years later, Mr. Huo suddenly passed away. He left so suddenly that the company and family affairs were not arranged. I heard that the company was in chaos for a while, and it has only settled down now..."
"There are only three decent masters left in their family now. The old one is old, the young one is young, and the only young one ran away from home. It's really bad luck..."
Fu Baijian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked quickly, "Running away from home? Who ran away from home?"
"Who else? Isn't it Huo Shichu, the eldest daughter of the Huo family? I don't know why, but she ran away from home not long after her father passed away, leaving her nephew who lost his parents and her old mother who lost her husband. It's really a bit unfilial..." The housekeeper seemed to be a little displeased with Huo Shichu.
Indeed, in the eyes of an old man of his age, it was really cold and heartless for his daughter to abandon her only two relatives before her father's body was cold.
He didn't know the real reason why Huo Shichu ran away from home. He only saw that she abandoned an orphan and a widow, so he disliked Huo Shichu.
Fu Baijian thought of Huo Shichu's indifferent eyes in the photo, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. He felt that she was not that kind of person, but he didn't know why she ran away from home, so he had to continue asking the housekeeper: "Do you know the reason? There must be a reason for her to run away from home, right?"
"An aunt in the family has a good relationship with a servant of the Huo family. I heard a rumor that it was because Mrs. Huo wanted Miss Huo to marry into a family so that she could have a say in the company, but Miss Huo disagreed and ran away from home." The housekeeper replied.
The Huo family would not make a big deal about Huo Shichu running away from home, but they did not keep it a secret either, so some people still knew about it.
"Marriage? Which family?" Fu Bojian thought that Huo's mother wanted Huo Shichu to marry someone from the same social class in the circle. He never expected that Huo's mother's candidate was Zhou Wenye, who had no background at all.
"That's not clear. I haven't heard of any family planning to form an alliance with the Huo family," said the housekeeper.
Fu Baijian carefully considered all the unmarried men of marriageable age around him, but he didn't hear any of them having anything to do with Huo Shichu. Then he thought again, since Huo Shichu had run away from home, that meant the marriage must have failed.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, after he breathed a sigh of relief, his face soon froze, and he realized that he was particularly different from Huo Shichu. After all, what did Huo Shichu's marriage have to do with him? Why did he need to breathe a sigh of relief?
He quickly shook his head, getting rid of the vague thoughts in his mind, and reminded himself: All those who are tempted and deceived are impulsive and irrational.
