Chapter 1142: He’s Back

Translator: Yunyi
Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. “I’m not related by blood, but is he? At least, I’m his partner. It’s only right for me to inherit his property.”

Huo Ningxi, on the other hand, had already been raised by the Huo Family to such an age. They had been benevolent enough.

Based on his recent actions, Song Yaoyao did not know if he had been instigated by someone, causing his temperament to change drastically. However, Song Yaoyao’s tolerance towards him had long been broken.

“What?”

“You mean, Huo Ningxi is not a child of the Huos? How is that possible?”

!!

Or did they misunderstand? Countless people looked at Song Yaoyao in shock.

Song Yaoyao was fearless. She raised her chin slightly, and her exquisite makeup made her seem as if she would shine.

Seeing Song Yaoyao like this, those people could not help but look at Huo Ningxi who was standing in the crowd.

He lowered his head slightly and did not have any intention of refuting her.

Could it really be?

Oh my god!

This was big news! Some of the reporters were smart and knew that they could not get anything out of Song Yaoyao. Seeing this, they all rushed towards Huo Ningxi.

“Young Master Huo! Is what Miss Song said true?”

“Are you really not a child of the Huo Family?”

“Then, do you have the right to inherit? Is what Miss Song said true? Did your uncle really leave all his property to an outsider?”

Huo Ningxi slowly raised his head and looked not far away.

The person who was well-protected by Shen Xun and An Feiran, who didn’t even mess up the hem of her dress, stood there and slowly smiled at him.

She was arrogant and domineering, and her eyes were filled with undisguised malice.

She did it on purpose.

Huo Ningxi opened his mouth and took a long time to find his voice. He said very lightly, “Yes.”

A simple word caused an uproar.

He actually admitted it!

What was he thinking? Didn’t he want the Huo Family’s property?

Song Yaoyao was stunned. She didn’t expect him to admit it.

When she came back to her senses, she sneered.

It was the truth. It was meaningless to admit it or not.

Just as she was about to leave, her phone suddenly vibrated in her bag. When she was attending the banquet, she specifically muted the volume but she was afraid that she would miss the call from her Gege.

Everyone saw that Song Yaoyao was about to leave, but for some reason, she suddenly stopped and took out her phone from her bag.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Song Yaoyao suddenly felt her breathing stop, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

“Hello?”

Her voice trembled slightly, afraid of disappointment. She was afraid that she wouldn’t hear the voice she wanted to hear.

“What’s with your voice? Are you scared?”

Before she could speak, a low laugh was heard, followed by the man’s calm and doting whisper.

Song Yaoyao’s tears almost fell instantly.

She gripped her phone tightly, her breathing rapid.

“Okay, be good. I’m fine.”

Sensing her nervousness, Huo Yunque comforted her softly, “I’ll wait for you at home, okay?”

Song Yaoyao couldn’t hear anything else; only the words ‘I’ll wait for you at home’ lingered in her mind,

Her Gege was back!

Song Yaoyao couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment. She gripped her phone, lifted her skirt, pushed away the crowd, and ran quickly.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“Did something happen? Could it be about Mr. Huo?”

Tang Xinrou saw that there were still paparazzi who wanted to chase after Song Yaoyao, so she pushed the nearest person away with a cold expression, “That’s about enough. Learn to stop while you’re ahead! No matter who ordered you, I will remember what happened tonight on behalf of Mr. Huo! In the future, I will settle everything with all of you one by one!”

With that, she stomped away in her high heels as if she was walking on flat ground. She was scared out of her wits as she chased after Song Yaoyao.

Shen Xun looked at An Feiran, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Xun’s cold and sharp eyes swept across those people. He said lazily, “I will also remember this for Yaoyao. You guys keep a good hold of your jobs. Don’t lose them before I come after you!”

An Feiran had a gentle temperament. She smiled like a spring breeze. “Me too.”

The paparazzi’s feet seemed to be nailed to the ground as they watched them walk away.

“Yaoyao, Yaoyao, slow down!” Tang Xinrou was far away, so she couldn’t hear what Song Yaoyao had heard on the phone.

She didn’t dare to think about the bad news. She could only follow Song Yaoyao closely, afraid that she would fall.

“I can’t slow down!”

Not at all. She wanted to go back immediately.

Hearing the excitement in her voice, a thought flashed through Tang Xinrou’s mind, but she quickly caught it.

She was stunned on the spot and said happily, “Could it be…?”

Song Yaoyao bent down and got into the car. She smiled at Tang Xinrou through the car window. Her dimples were filled with sweetness and she was alive again.

“Rourou, Gege is back!”

The car sped past her. Tang Xinrou opened her mouth, and when she heard the news, she let out a heavy breath. As if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and all her strength had been drained.

Her knees went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

An Feiran caught her from behind in time and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Tang Xinrou held An Feiran’s arm tightly. She was happy, but she still knew to lower her voice.

“Mr. Huo is fine! He came back safely!”

“So, Yaoyao…”

An Feiran was relieved and revealed a smile. “Don’t disturb her. Let her talk to Mr. Huo properly.”

Tang Xinrou nodded. Of course she knew.

“Then let’s go back too.”

They said goodbye to Shen Xun and got into the car to leave together.

After this interlude, the banquet naturally could not continue.

Shen Xun licked his lips and the people around him left. He looked up at the sky. He did not know when the dark clouds that covered the moon had dispersed. The bright moonlight shone down like silver.

The sky was clear.

He laughed briefly and raised his eyes.

Looking at the young man who had walked to the door, he caught the unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.

Disappointment?

Shen Xun shook his head, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.

There was disappointment in everyone. Being born as a human, not everything could go according to one’s wishes.

A missed opportunity was a missed opportunity. It was fate.

…

Before the car stopped steadily, Song Yaoyao had pushed the door open to get off.

Uncle Zhang had received the news of Song Yaoyao’s return so he specifically waited for her.

Seeing her like this, he was shocked. “Miss Song, be careful! Be careful! Don’t worry, the Master is upstairs. Be careful not to fall!”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Song Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel regret. She couldn’t walk fast in her high heels and dress.

She bent down to take off her high heels and felt much more relaxed as she walked into the hall.

Uncle Zhang said helplessly, “Miss Song, be careful!”

Even so, the smile on his face couldn’t be suppressed.

When he knew that the Master was fine and was about to return, his mood was similar to Song Yaoyao’s. It was just that he had been alive for longer and could control his emotions better.

Watching Song Yaoyao go upstairs, he stood downstairs and happily shook his head.

Judging by Song Yaoyao’s appearance, it was clear that she could not wait another moment. It was as if she wanted to grow wings and fly over.
