Chapter 600: Brother Yulin’s Return
A tall skinny silhouette came into her view. He had an exquisite and well-chiseled face, but his complexion was too pale. Huo Yao opened her eyes wide at this sight.
Was that her third older brother?
She stood stunned and was unable to react.
Huo Yulin had a suitcase in hand with a gentle smile on his exceedingly fair face. He walked over to Huo Yao unhurriedly. “Yao, I’m home.”
Huo Yulin pursed his lips as he watched while his little sister remained stunned. He let go of the suitcase and turned to place his hand on her head. Her soft smooth hair was exactly how he remembered it.
Even though Huo Yao was in the habit of touching people’s heads, and not the other way around, Huo Yulin ended up touching her head the second time and left her speechless.
“Brother Yulin, why did you suddenly come home?” Huo Yao was caught by surprise and totally did not anticipate him showing up here.
Huo Yulin pulled his hand back and said, “I felt like coming home.”
Huo Yao blinked before she looked at the suitcase beside him. “Did you just get off your flight?”
“Uh huh. I’m glad I made it in time.” Huo Yulin nodded.
After taking a flight for over ten hours, he was clearly exhausted.
However, he was eager to see his little sister, so he disregarded his fatigue.
Huo Yao had just figured out why her father did not pick her up today. She coughed before she said, “Let’s hail a cab to go home.”
“Okay.”
Huo Yulin picked up his suitcase and glanced at the No.1 Middle School’s main entrance.
Lu Xia happened to walk out from the entrance with her classmates.
Huo Yulin was slightly surprised to see her, but he quickly looked away.
Lu Xia spotted Huo Yulin’s tall skinny silhouette from behind when she raised her head but failed to recognize him right away.
After a brief glance, Lu Ziming quickly drew Lu Xia’s attention as he stood nearby. She frowned and headed over to Lu Ziming.
“What are you doing here?”
Lu Ziming kept looking in Huo Yao’s direction. He caught sight of the interaction between Huo Yulin and Huo Yao. Even though he could not make out their conversation, he found it annoying seeing how well Huo Yao and Huo Yulin got along.
Lu Ziming glared at Lu Xia and said nothing when he heard her question. Instead, he walked to the side.
He saw the family chauffeur waiting there.
Lu Xia seemed accustomed to Lu Ziming’s attitude. Although she was puzzled to see him at the school entrance, she could not be bothered to ask him any further.
Before long, the two of them boarded the car and the butler started the engine.
Lu Xia said nothing and simply leaned against the car window, looking out in distraction.
The car was in complete silence.
He Xiaoman raised her head and glanced into the rearview mirror. “Ziming?”
Lu Ziming opened the car window to let the cold wind in before he closed it again. He said somewhat infuriatingly, “Mom, the crazy woman told you not to get in her way and that you can’t afford to offend her.”
Lu Xia contemplated curiously. The crazy woman?
Who was he talking about?
The moment He Xiaoman heard this, her face looked a little serious. She seemed to be closer to the truth.
Huo Yao got Lu Ziming to pass He Xiaoman a message and told He Xiaoman to steer clear of her path. Was she implying that she was behind Lu Corporation’s failure to win the city bid?
The more He Xiaoman pondered over it, the more upset she felt. Why did the Huo family suddenly become so mysterious?
“What else did she say?” He Xiaoman composed herself and asked him.
