Chapter 39
When Luo Chaoyan saw him playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, she had an idea.
"What if I teach you how to play this thing?"
Huo Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you?"
Luo Chaoyan said proudly: "Didn't Huo Rui tell you that I was the one who gave him this thing?" As she spoke, she took the Rubik's Cube from his hand and fiddled with it skillfully, turning it here and there. After a while, she twisted all the Rubik's Cubes of the same color together.
Not only Huo Yu, but the other children were also stunned. Huo Rui had played this game with them several times before, but he had never achieved such a result.
"Madam, if you teach me how to play, I will be your friend." Huo Yu said.
Huo Ze and his gang looked at him with disdain. This guy was so shameless that he would jump on the opportunity when he saw it.
"Huo Yu!" Huo Rui said dissatisfiedly.
Huo Yu said: "Huo Rui, if you can teach me, I will be your friend."
Luo Chaoyan had a heart attack. Is it really good for a child to be so materialistic? What should I do if I suddenly don’t want to make friends with this kid anymore?
After school at noon, Luo Chaoyan returned to the Huo Mansion with the clan leader.
It happened that Tutor Huo was kept in the palace by the emperor, and Huo Jin was busy with official business in the government office and was not at home.
The clan leader had no choice but to tell Old Madam Huo and Madam Huo what happened today. I hope they can pay more attention to disciplining Huo Rui and not spoil him too much. Otherwise, you might get into trouble in the future.
Mrs. Huo was so angry that her chest hurt when she heard this. She glared at Luo Chaoyan and said in a reproachful tone, "Didn't I ask you to accompany him to study? Why didn't you take good care of him and let him do such a disaster?"
this? This old lady is taking her anger out on others.
Luo Chaoyan curled her lips secretly. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind. She pretended to be ashamed and said, "Grandma, it's my fault for not taking good care of Xiao Rui and letting him do such a thing. Grandma, please punish your daughter-in-law."
Old Madam Huo choked. She was just venting her anger casually and trying to divert the clan leader's attention.
The clan leader frowned and said, "Old lady, Xiao Rui likes to disrupt the classroom discipline when Master Li is teaching. I think he has been dissatisfied with Master Li for a long time, so he did this today."
hey-hey! Patriarch, you are wrong. If she had not gone there today, Huo Rui would not have used such a cruel trick to play a trick on Master Li, because the person he originally wanted to play a trick on was her. Luo Chaoyan looked at the patriarch with gratitude.
"How is Master Li doing now?" asked Mrs. Huo.
The clan leader replied, "Master Li is fine, but..." He was very angry.
Madam Huo nodded and said to her daughter-in-law, "Have someone prepare some good herbs and a generous gift for Master Li. Although it may be a little too late, it also represents our Huo family's apology."
Mrs. Huo said, "My daughter-in-law understands."
"Chief, Xiao Rui is still young and has no mother. As an elder, I can't help but spoil him a little. Don't worry, I will definitely discipline him after today and make sure he never dares to do such a thing again. Even his schoolwork will still require the teacher at the clan school to teach him."
Although the clan leader was somewhat disappointed with Huo Rui, he was still a descendant of the Huo family after all. Moreover, the current glory of the Huo family depended on Master Huo.
"Don't worry, old lady. They are all members of the Huo family. As long as they are taught carefully, their future will not be too bad."
Mrs. Huo felt relieved when she heard him say this.
After a few more pleasantries, the patriarch took his leave.
Old Madam Huo knew Huo Jin's personality. If he knew that his great-grandson had played a trick on the teacher today, she would definitely punish him severely. So she decided to take the initiative and asked her great-grandson to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on his mistakes for an hour.
She said to Luo Chaoyan, "Tonight, talk to A Jin and don't exaggerate." She looked a little unnatural as she said, "I've already punished Xiao Rui, so tell him not to be so cruel to Xiao Rui again."
Luo Chaoyan said: "Grandma, you know my husband's temper, I..."
"If you agree to this, you can come with me when we go to the farm to escape the summer heat." Old Madam Huo said temptingly.
Was this an attempt to bribe her? Luo Chaoyan still felt embarrassed and said, "Grandma, I'm afraid my husband won't listen to my advice."
Madam Huo rolled her eyes at her in displeasure, "You don't know how to use the honey trap."
Cough cough!
Luo Chaoyan almost choked on her own saliva. Isn’t this old lady’s thinking too advanced? Thinking of Huo Jin's cold and handsome face, she shuddered. She really didn't appreciate it. And don’t you know that your grandson will not be tempted by beauty?
"If you can persuade Jin to stay, I will promise you one thing."
Luo Chaoyan's eyes lit up. This is a good idea!
Madam Huo said disdainfully, "I'll tell you first, you are not allowed to do anything that would damage the reputation of our Huo family."
"Grandma, what are you saying? How dare your granddaughter-in-law say that?" Luo Chaoyan smiled.
evening
Luo Chaoyan first asked someone to prepare a table of dishes that Huo Jin liked.
When Huo Jin came back, he saw his wife greeting him with a smile. His heart moved, thinking that she wanted to ask him for something again.
When dinner was almost over, he said to Luo Chaoyan, "Tell me, what's the matter this time!"
Luo Chaoyan had already prepared her words. She sighed softly before saying, "My dear, do you remember Xiaorui's birthday?"
Huo Jin was stunned when he heard this and said, "June 20th, what's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"My dear, have you ever given him any birthday present?"
"No."
hehe! Luo Chaoyan decided to sympathize with Huo Rui today, a man whose father doesn't love him and whose mother doesn't care about him.
"My dear, you are going too far. Every year on my birthday, my parents prepare gifts for me." Luo Chaoyan said proudly.
Huo Jin was silent. He was busy with government affairs on weekdays and sometimes he even forgot his own birthday. How could he think of preparing a gift for his grandson?
Luo Chaoyan said, "My dear, forget about the past ones. Xiaorui's birthday is not here yet, why not give it to him this year?"
Huo Jin looked at her and nodded.
"Well, since it's a gift, you have to give the birthday boy a gift that he likes and looks forward to." Luo Chaoyan smiled, "That is, for example, agree to accompany him on an outing, an autumn outing, or... forgive him for a mistake he made."
"He's in trouble again?" Huo Jin asked with certainty.
Luo Chaoyan was a little embarrassed. Sure enough, she couldn't hide it from a smart person. "My dear, he made a mistake today, and grandma has severely punished him. So, just... forgive him this time."
"Why are you pleading for him?" He was well aware of the fights between his son and her during the holidays.
That was for the old lady's promise.
