Chapter 301 Slap in the Face
Huo Yao walked back to his seat and sat down.
Song Ning was just about to ask her daughter who she was when she looked up and saw the eldest brother walking in. She immediately shut up and carefully glanced at her daughter's expression.
There is a huge misunderstanding between these two siblings.
Song Ning coughed dryly and put down his chopsticks. "Why are you back, Boss? Have you had dinner?"
As she finished speaking, the second and fourth brothers Huo, who were eating with their heads down, and father Huo all looked at Huo Yanxi who walked in. The expressions on their faces were exactly the same as Song Ning's.
Then they would subconsciously look at Huo Yao again.
As if he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Huo Yanxi felt a little stinging when he saw this scene, and the bitter taste in his throat became stronger. After a while, he nodded to Song Ning and said, "I have eaten."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Song Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was Huo Tingrui next to him who broke the embarrassment. "Brother, you come back so late, do you have anything to say?"
Huo Yanxi hummed, trying to make his voice sound more natural, "I saw on the Internet that Xiaoxiang was injured. Is this true?"
Huo Xiang almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
Song Ning, who didn't know the details, immediately laughed and said, "No, your brother is fine, isn't he?"
Huo Yanxi looked at Huo Xiang and saw that he was indeed not as what was said on the Internet. He couldn't help but feel relieved, "It's okay as long as you are fine."
Huo Xiang coughed, then looked up and said, "The rumors on the Internet are just groundless rumours. They are not to be trusted. They will disappear in a few days."
"Yeah." Seeing this, Huo Yanxi didn't ask any more questions.
With nothing to talk about, the restaurant became quiet again.
Huo Yanxi stood there, suddenly feeling like he was redundant. He took a breath and smiled: "You guys eat."
As he said this, he walked towards the living room. His expression was a little dazed as his eyes swept across the trophies in the glass cabinet. He was also looking at the two award certificates hanging on the wall next to him.
Huo Yanxi walked over. One photo was of the first place in the national competition, and the other was of the first place in the English speaking competition.
First place in spoken English... At this time, Mr. Huo, who had just finished his meal and came over, saw his eldest daughter staring at the certificate in a daze. He remembered that he had recorded a video of his daughter's competition today, so he took out his mobile phone.
He unlocked the computer and clicked on the several-minute video of the game, then patted the boss's arm and said, "Look at this."
His intention of showing the video to the eldest brother was simple. He just wanted him to see the excellence of his own sister instead of blindly misunderstanding her.
Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the phone screen.
Looking at the girl standing on the podium in the video, with a confident and arrogant face, fluent and standard English sentence after sentence came out of her mouth. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole stage was shining for her, and everyone could see her excellence.
Huo Yanxi stared blankly, and suddenly he remembered a long time ago when he saw his sister reading an English book. In his heart he was laughing at her for being hypocritical and pretending to be pretentious.
But what is the truth? The appearance of this video seems to be mocking him, mocking how ignorant he is.
Huo Yanxi looked away before he finished reading.
Upon seeing this, Huo Jinyan simply raised his hand and patted his eldest son's shoulder. He didn't want to say much, as some things still needed to be understood by one's self.
***
The next day, just after Huo Yao got out of school, the cell phone in her pocket started vibrating continuously. She took out her phone calmly.
