At this time, Huo Yuan said, “Let’s go to the Huo mansion after we finish hotpot. Your grandpa is old now. We should accompany him more.”
”Ok.“
After a bit, Huo Wu recovered from what happened earlier and said, “I got it, Dad.”
The Huo mansion was around one hour away from home to the north. So when they got there, it was already 2 pm even though they left right after finishing lunch.
When Huo Wu and the others got there, other relatives were already there. The heat was nice and comfy at the mansion, and everyone was delightful and happy.
Grandpa Huo was sitting right in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by everyone as if he was the moon among many stars.
Since their grandpa spent half of his life in battles, his temper did not get not any better even as he aged. He was born a soldier and had been in many battles and escaped death several times when he was young. He also had the aura of a gangster. Afterwards, with some awards that he won from some battles, his position in the army got higher and higher.
Because he had been in a high position for a long time, Grandpa Huo looked a bit serious.
Huo Wu was a bit scared of talking to him, so she just stayed beside Huo Yusen and listened to them talk after greeting her grandpa.
When Grandpa Huo saw Huo Yusen came, he started the conversation first, “Ah Sen, you’re turning 26 after the new year, right？“
”Yes, Grandpa.”
Grandpa Huo took a smoke and exclaimed as the puff came out of his mouth, “When I was your age, my son was already seven years old. And in a blink of an eye, sixty years had already passed since then.”
He tapped the cigarette butt, and continued, “The young lady of the Chu family will be here later. She loved to follow you around until you went to study abroad. It is quite obvious that she likes you a lot. What are your feelings towards her?”
Just thinking about the young lady made Huo Yusen’s head hurt.
”Grandpa, I’ve always looked at her as my younger sister.”
Grandpa Huo slapped heavily on the chair’s armrest. “The problem is that she is not related to you by blood in any way. What kind of sister is that?”
Huo Yusen massaged his temple. “Grandpa, I…”
But before he finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Grandpa Huo, “Whatever. The young girl is quite sensitive. Just don’t be too cold towards her when she gets here.”
And not long after Grandpa Huo finished his sentence, the Miss Chu they were talking about arrived at the mansion.
The young miss of the Chu family was a sweet and pretty girl. Even before she was physically in front of Grandpa Huo, she already began greeting him sweetly.
“Grandpa Huo.”
Then, she glanced at Huo Yusen shyly and said, “Brother Huo.”
After seeing her in person, Huo Wu finally remembered who the young miss of the Chu family really was.
Chu Xueyi. Her father was a diplomat, and her mother was a world-class violinist. As for herself, she graduated from one of the ivy schools and was an enthusiastic philanthropist. She was also an amateur violinist who was always energetic and friendly and liked Huo Yusen since she was young.
She naturally sat down on the seat to the right of Huo Yusen. And the person on the left of Huo Yusen was Huo Wu.
Chu Xueyi greeted Huo Wu from her seat, “Ah Wu, long time no see. You are getting prettier and prettier.”
Huo Wu thanked her with a smile.
Although Huo Wu was smiling, she felt a tight feeling in her chest for some reason.
She knew that Huo Yusen and Chu Xueyi were only friends. But, thinking about the fact that she followed him around for years, for which Huo Wu had no participation in, she felt as if there was something in her chest, making her extremely uncomfortable.
