Chapter 338: The Surprise
Chapter 338: The Surprise
At night.
Huo Yao saw the newly installed security system at the entrance and the infrared scanners on the walls when she came home and raised her eyebrow. That was fast.
After entering the house, she stood at the entrance in front of the system and tapped on the screen.
Huo Jinyan walked up to her when he realized that his daughter was looking at the security system. “I forgot to tell you that two guys came to re-install our security system today.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao pulled her hand back.
“It can do much more than the security system I installed, but there are some features I’m unsure about,” said Huo Jinyan a bit sadly.
The technicians had only taught him the basic functions. Despite spending all afternoon trying to figure out how to use the other details, he failed to grasp it fully.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Let’s go in. I’ll teach you.”
“Okay.”
Huo Jinyan nodded and followed his daughter into the living room. After sitting down, he took out his phone and turned on the application and said, “These are the ones I didn’t dare to touch.”
Huo Yao took the phone and explained to him patiently how to use it.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and looked at her father, who had yet to fully grasp the system.
Initially, she thought that the system was too simple when she had looked at it at the door. However, she had overestimated her father’s abilities.
Huo Jinyan glanced at his daughter warily and said somewhat sheepishly, “Am I stupid?”
Huo Yao noticed how cautious he looked and sighed in her heart. “It’s not your fault. The application is a little complicated,” replied Huo Yao with a straight face.
The moment Huo Jinyan heard her, he instantly said, “I knew it. I said it was too complicated, but your mother said I was stupid.”
Huo Yao nodded quietly.
“If I were stupid, would I have a daughter as smart as you?” Huo Jinyan straightened his back.
Huo Yao: “...”
Sure, if that’s what her father believed.

The revision material from Huo Yulin arrived two days later. Huo Yao asked Meng Ying for her address and delivered one box to her house.
She had used the same-day delivery, so it arrived at Meng Ying’s house that day itself.
The Meng family had already tried to invite Huo Yao over for dinner a few times. Since Huo Yao couldn’t turn them down, she went over to Meng Ying’s place after school that afternoon.
The Meng family came from a scholarly background and resided in a small, classic bungalow. People staying in such residences usually had a certain degree of history.
The moment Huo Yao entered their home, Meng Ying’s parents were delighted to see her and chatted comfortably with her. Meng Ying had to wrestle Huo Yao from her parents’ clutches, and drag her away to save her from their nagging.
Meng Ying brought Huo Yao to her room. She felt puzzled when she spotted the huge box lying there. After she opened it and saw all the study material inside, she was so stunned that she could hardly breathe.
Meng Ying turned to look at Huo Yao who was leaning against the door lazily. Meng Ying recalled the things Huo Yao mentioned a few days ago and how she asked for her address yesterday.
“PFFTT... Sister Big Shot, is this your surprise?”
Huo Yao nodded. “I did the calculations. If you do one test paper a day, you can finish them by the time you take the college entrance examination. You’re welcome.”
Meng Ying was dumbstruck. “!!!”
One test paper a day? Was she a monster!
Huo Yao raised her brow and said, “Of course, if you want to do two test papers a day, you are free to take the other two boxes I have.”
Meng Ying’s lips twitched.
