Chapter 10 The Uninvited Guest



After the family had breakfast, Huo Nanchu and Huo Shan went to the company.

Moreover, he was supposed to go on a business trip yesterday to pick up Wei Jinning, but he didn't go, and he has to rush to do so today.

Huo Jinxin took leave today and didn't go to school.

"Little sister, shall we go shopping?" Huo Jinxin had decided last night to take Wei Jinning to buy some things she liked today.

“Okay!” Wei Jinning replied happily.

[Go out and shop, shop, shop, and you don't even have to spend your own money.]

[In the past, when I wanted to buy something, I would first check the price, and I would usually buy some counterfeit goods on Taobao.]

[Poor quality, and it doesn't even have a good shape.]

[Now it's great, I don't have to worry about money anymore.]

[Sister, you're so wonderful, I love you the most.]

“Ningning? Buy whatever you want, Mom has money.” Zhao Qiuying retorted.

We can't let Wei Jinning love her older sister the most; if she's to love someone, it should be her mother.

"Thank you, Mom."

[Mom, so generous.]

I love my mom the most.

Huo Jin thought to herself, "What a fickle woman! I won't talk to you for a minute, but since you're young, I'll only let you have ten seconds!"

The three of them enjoyed separate, closed-door shopping services at the mall and went on a shopping spree.

In the end, Wei Jinning was too exhausted to walk any further, so she went back.

[Ugh! I'm exhausted.]

[The shopping was enjoyable, but it was also incredibly tiring.]

[I will never go out again.]

[A bed is still the best.]

I'm going to pamper my little bed.

[Little bed, here I come.]

Zhao Qiuying and Huo Jinxin gazed at the seemingly quiet Wei Jinning, secretly marveling at the richness and complexity of her inner world.

"Ningning, after you eat something, take a shower and get some rest. We've been shopping all morning, you must be exhausted," Zhao Qiuying said with concern.

"Okay, I do feel a little tired," Wei Jinning nodded obediently in response.

She knew very well that her mother and sister were also exhausted, so she added, "Mom and sister should also take a break when they have time."

“Okay.” The two of them agreed and nodded slightly.

After arriving at the Huo family mansion, the three of them quickly ate a simple meal and then returned to their rooms to rest.

[Xiao Liu, do you think the lives of these rich people are a little boring?]

Wei Jinning's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug and slightly provocative smile. If one ignored her obviously smug and infuriating expression, Xiao Liu might have continued to listen to her nonsense.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Liu remained silent [...]

Meanwhile, in Huoshan, a new clue emerged. An investigation revealed that Huo Chengyu's assistant, Xiao Zhang, was indeed in contact with outsiders, but surprisingly, this person did not appear to be from the photography world.

Could it be that the information Ningning provided was inaccurate?

The men sent out by Huoshan continued to closely follow Xiao Zhang, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.

At the same time, Huo Nanchu also began to conduct an in-depth investigation into the other four major families, but this would take some time to collect clues and evidence.

Moreover, Huo Nanchu became more vigilant and kept a close eye on the people around him, especially his close friends.

He knew all too well that human nature was unpredictable, and that in this power struggle, any slight oversight could have fatal consequences.

That very afternoon, the Huo family received an unexpected visitor.

This uninvited guest was named Ye Lan. She was petite, delicate, and beautiful, inspiring pity and a desire to protect her. After the Ye family declared bankruptcy, Ye Lan went to a foreign country and parted ways with Huo Nanchu, never to have any further contact with the Huo family.

However, at this moment, she returned here without any warning.

"Hello Aunt Zhao. Hello Xin Xin." Ye Lan greeted everyone politely with a smile.

"Xiao Lan! It's been so long! How have you been all these years?" Zhao Qiuying stepped forward warmly, took Ye Lan's hand, and asked with concern.

When Ye Lan left, Zhao Qiuying felt a real pang of regret, after all, such a well-behaved and sensible girl was truly rare.

Xiao Liu [Ding! There's some gossip.]

Let me see...

Zhao Qiuying introduced Wei Jinning to someone: "Ningning, this is your older sister from the Ye family, Ye Lan."

"Ye Lan, this is my daughter, Wei Jinning. We just found her."

"Hello, Ningning."

When Ye Lan first saw that the Huo family had a pretty little girl, she was a little worried because she hadn't paid attention to the Huo family in recent years and thought she was Huo Nanchu's girlfriend. But it turned out she was his younger sister, so there was no need to worry.

Hello, Sister Ye.

[Ah! Is it really that crazy?]

[When the Ye family went bankrupt, they drugged my eldest brother, hoping to marry him into the Huo family as soon as possible.]

[Unexpectedly, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, I slept with the wrong person.]

[She also had an admirer who had some money, so she married him and went to the United States.]

[According to the plot, she's already over a month pregnant, and she's back to ask her older brother to be her "baby carrier."]

[Unexpectedly, the older brother disagreed, so she drugged him a second time.]

[She actually succeeded and married into the Huo family smoothly.]

[The whole family knows she's pregnant and treats her well, except her eldest brother is a bit cold towards her, while she's keeping a gigolo outside.]

[Finally, they conspired with the elder brother's friend to lure him to northern Myanmar, where he ultimately died far from home.]

After exchanging a glance with Huo Jinxin, Zhao Qiuying used the excuse of getting some fruit to subtly loosen her grip on Ye Lan's hand and quickly wiped the overly intimate smile off her face.
