Chapter 22: Chapter 022: Admirable_1
“How ridiculous!” She had witnessed today the full extent of shamelessness. Jiang Nanfei was originally flustered due to the sudden return of Huo Beijiang and had lost her calm. But because of the stimulation by Huo Jinlan, she had become collected.
“I must admit, your level of shamelessness has truly left me in awe.”
“Humph! All you have is words, what use are they?” Huo Jinlan retorted disdainfully. “Do you really think everyone will believe your lies just because you’ve thrown your filth at me?”
“Here’s a piece of advice for you—’time reveals a person’s heart as a road trip reveals a horse’s strength’”
Huo Jinlan was infuriated, her expression was ferocious and a sense of oddity rose in her heart.
She didn’t expect Jiang Nanfei to be so articulate. If it wasn’t for her image, she would have loved to tear that annoying face of hers apart.
“Son!” Yuan Xueshan’s voice came from downstairs.
Huo Jinlan’s eyes brightened, “Brother is back!” No longer concerned about fighting with Jiang Nanfei, she dashed downstairs. She moved like a swift swallow and unexpectedly flung herself into Huo Beijiang’s arms.
Jiang Nanfei stood at the top of the stairs with a sarcastic smile. Just how blind was she in her past life, that she completely missed Huo Jinlan’s feelings for Huo Beijiang?
“Jinlan, let me go.” As soon as Huo Beijiang looked into Nanfei’s eyes, he immediately pushed Jinlan away from his arms.
Damn it! He had this strange guilty feeling.
“Brother, you’re finally back, I’ve missed you so much.” Huo Jinlan coquettishly hung onto Huo Beijiang’s arm, refusing to let go. Her large, watery eyes secretly glanced at Huo Beijiang’s bare body, causing her heart to speed up.
A frosty chill filled the inky depths of Huo Beijiang’s eyes. If Huo Jinlan weren’t his sister, she would be severely incapacitated now, if not dead.
Jiang Nanfei quickly descended the stairs and stopped at Zhou Yongxian to bid her goodbye, “Granny, I need to head home. My parents must be worried since I didn’t come home last night.
“Wait, I’ll have Beijiang drop you off.” Zhou Yongxian grasped Jiang Nanfei’s hand tightly, her gaze lingering on her neck with an insinuating look, causing Nanfei to blush.
In reality, Nanfei wanted to show that old woman what her precious grandson had done.
“No need, I can get home by myself. Also, I need to go to the farmers’ market to buy some things.” She honestly didn’t want Huo Beijiang to accompany her home, much less face him yet.
Zhou Yongxian ignored her completely, she turned her head and called out, “Beijiang, don’t just stand there. Quick, take your wife home.”
The normally aloof Huo Beijiang, now tangled up with Jinlan and wanting to explode, turned to look at them seemingly genuinely interested.
“What’s wrong? You don’t want to take your wife home?” Zhou Yongxian asked jovially. Even though Beijiang had been maintaining a poker face and acted as if he didn’t know Nanfei, Zhou Yongxian knew better.
If he genuinely didn’t like the girl, he would have thrown her out last night instead of sleeping on the couch.
“Granny, my brother doesn’t have time.” Huo Jinlan clung to Huo Beijiang’s arm and said pitifully. “My brother works so hard outside, he hasn’t even had breakfast yet. Granny, please don’t make him work this hard, it hurts to watch.”
Jiang Nanfei was disgusted by Huo Jinlan’s melodrama. Plus, she didn’t want Huo Beijiang’s company anyway. “Granny, I’ll be going then. Let’s not trouble anyone else.” Not giving Zhou Yongxian the chance to insist, she hastily left, as if she were being chased by a rabbit.
