Chapter 69: Ask For a Promise
After that…
He glanced at Mr and Mrs Qin and laughed ambiguously. His lips curled up. “But if Yunyun was happy staying here, she wouldn’t have run out alone at night.”
Hearing this, Old Master Qin’s heart ached for Pei Yunge.
His expression was dark as he glanced at Mr and Mrs Qin. In the end, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger before he turned to look at Huo Shidu.
“Thank you, Mr Huo, for taking care of Ge’er during this period of time. However, will it be too much trouble for you in the future…”
Old Master Qin was still worried. After all, Pei Yunge was a girl and it wasn’t too appropriate for her to stay in the home of a strange man.
“Yunyun is no trouble.”
Huo Shidu’s words made Old Master Qin freeze for a moment.
After a while.
He could not help but size up the man in front of him.
He was very good-looking, the heir of the Huo family, and an outstanding talent that was unattainable in everyone’s eyes.
It could be said that there was nothing to nitpick.
It was no wonder that Mrs Qin would think of a way to get Qin Youjiao and Huo Shidu to interact with each other.
After that…
Mrs Qin spoke up as expected.
“Yunge is a girl after all. It’s not too convenient for her to stay at Mr Huo’s place. Why don’t you let Yunge cone back…”
“I think staying at Mr Huo’s place is pretty good.”
Old Master Qin interrupted indifferently.
He still had to think for Ge’er.
If he was no longer around after a year, there would be someone to protect Ge’er.
“Dad, but… It’s not like we can’t afford to raise her. How can we let her stay with another family?” Mrs Qin’s expression did not look too good.
“We can afford to take care of her, but her biological parents are not even comparable to step-fathers and stepmothers.”
Old Master Qin laughed. He did not care how terrible Mr and Mrs Qin’s expressions were. He said to Huo Shidu with a smile, “Mr Huo, in that case, Ge’er will have to trouble you in the future.”
“However, you’d better take this agreement back. It’s too expensive.”
“If Old Master Qin really minds, you can treat it as a gift from Yunyun.”
Huo Shidu’s thin lips suddenly curved. “However, I also want to ask Old Master Qin for a promise on behalf of Yunyun.”
“What promise?”
Old Master Qin asked.
In the next moment, Huo Shidu said with a soft and magnetic voice slowly. “Our Yunyun would be one of the four heirs of the Qin family.”
One of the four heirs.
Apart from her three older brothers, Pei Yunge had to be the last person to take the place of an heir.
Then…
Mr and Mrs Qin’s faces turned pale!
As for Qin Youjiao, her nails dug into her flesh as her eyes widened in disbelief and her entire body shivered.
Everyone could see who Huo Shidu was doing this for.
“Dad, Jiaojiao has been in our family for so many years, how can she…”
Mrs Qin panicked and hurriedly grabbed Mr Qin’s hand, signaling him to persuade him.
Mr Qin regained his senses and spoke.
“Mr Huo, although Jiaojiao isn’t our biological daughter, she’s still a young girl whom the Qin family has acknowledged.
“We have made a fool of ourselves. I hope you won’t take what happened today to heart, Mr Huo.”
“Yeah, actually… Jiaojiao’s character is very good too. If Yunge said something to you, Mr Huo, it wouldn’t be true.”
Mrs Qin hurriedly explained on behalf of Qin Youjiao.
“Mr Huo, do you also think that I stole everything from Pei Yunge?” Qin Youjiao asked.
Biting her lip, she put on a stubborn expression as if she had been wronged.
Huo Shidu glanced at her calmly, looking languid and casual.
Seeing this, Qin Youjiao inexplicably shut up and did not dare to say another word.
Then…
“Did she agree to let you have it?”
His tone was light.
