Chapter 446 I really like this kid Huo Yao!
On this side, Huo Yao returned home.
There were only the old man and Mr. Huo in the living room, and they were playing chess.
Huo Yao walked over and greeted politely.
The old man put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Huo Yao, "Do you know how to play chess?"
Huo Yao leaned against the armrest of the sofa and said calmly, "No."
"Oh." After hearing this, the old man didn't say anything more. His eyes fell on the chessboard again, looking very focused.
Huo Yao glanced at the liar old man, he was really pretending.
Father Huo looked up at his daughter, then turned his head to look towards the front door and asked, "Daughter, why are you alone? Where is your second brother?"
"My second brother said he has to work overtime these days and won't be coming back to live." Huo Yao replied.
In fact, she thought that her second brother just didn't want to be forced by his family to go on blind dates again, so he found such a lame excuse.
When Mr. Huo heard this, his brows relaxed.
Although I felt that the second brother's overtime work was so sudden and there seemed to be something strange about it, I didn't think much about it.
After all, there is one less eyesore in the house, which is a comforting thought.
"Well, it's good to work overtime. You can get more overtime pay, so that people won't say you're a parasite. Our family is not particularly wealthy and we can't afford to support an idler." Father Huo said casually.
The corners of Huo Yao's lips twitched fiercely, and his expression became very complicated.
If she hadn't gone to the restaurant with her second brother today, she might have pretended to believe this nonsense.
The old man next to him looked at Mr. Huo suspiciously. The house was full of priceless antiques. How could this be called "not rich"?
At this moment, the old man's cell phone rang. He took out the phone from his coat pocket. There were two text messages, both from that bastard of his family.
[You are at the Huo family.]
[Would you like to come back by yourself, or should I have someone come over to invite you in person? ]
The old man curled his lips and put his phone in his pocket. He just called the girl when he went to the toilet and forgot to turn off the phone.
"Grandpa, it's your turn." Mr. Huo said with a smile.
The old man thought he forgot to turn off his phone and was located by his grandson. His thoughts were pulled back. His eyes fell on the chessboard. After a two-second pause, he said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Huo, I won't play today. My grandson asked me to go home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Father Huo looked at the old man in surprise and asked, "Is your grandson done with his work?"
The old man coughed dryly and nodded, "Yeah."
Huo Yao, who stood up straight and was about to go back upstairs to listen to what was said, moved his eyebrows slightly and turned his head.
Haha, I always emphasized that I am a lonely old man.
This old liar.
The old man didn't notice Huo Yao's gaze. He took the cane beside him and slowly stood up. Then he said, "I'm sorry for bothering you these past two days. Come visit me when you return to the capital."
Mr. Huo also stood up and nodded politely, "You're too polite. I'll definitely go if I have the chance."
Capital?
Huo Yao's eyes couldn't help but linger on the old man again.
The old man's cell phone rang again at this time. He took it out and quickly answered it, saying impatiently, "Got it, I'll be right out."
After hanging up the phone, the old man nodded to Mr. Huo, then turned to look at Huo Yao, looking a little uncomfortable. However, he did not explain much in the end and walked towards the gate with his crutches.
"I'll take you there." Mr. Huo said.
The old man paused for a moment after hearing this, and then he said, "It's okay, let Yaoyao take me there. I really like this child."
Huo Yao: “…”
