Chapter 111: Perhaps It’s Because He’s Useless

“I just happened to be busy and don’t have time to look after her these few days, could you… let her stay over at your place for a few days?”

Shen Yao was a year older than Ye Sang.

But she was petite so they looked like they were of the same age.

The little thing blinked her cat-like eyes and puffed her cheeks at Shen Yao’s arrogant eyes.

She remembered.

Besides Duan Jinyan, the male lead of the novel, there was another female lead.

Although Shen Yao’s personality was arrogant and willful, she was kind too.

Her personality was rather twisted; she had a gentle-looking face but she always looked like she was superior to everyone else.

Huo Yao looked up while pinching the little girl’s chubby face and asked coldly,

“Is Shen Chuchen so poor that you are homeless?”

Shen Shanshan walked closer with a smile and replied gently, “It’s the weekend tomorrow and my brother said he’s going to the Huo family. If it doesn’t work, I’ll pick her up tomorrow.”

Speaking of her moody brother, Shen Shanshan twitched her lips.

She didn’t know what was wrong with him today. He was only going to the Huo family but he had summoned all his shadow guards who worked at home and started to look at himself in the mirror flashily.

People who knew about it would know that he’s going to his sworn enemy’s house, others who didn’t know about it would think that he’s going on blind dates for middle-aged wealthy people.

Huo Yao strode outside without looking at her, replying simply,

“Not free. No time, don’t want to look after her.”

The little thing shook her head and followed after him.

Shen Shanshan froze in her spot and slowly clenched her fist. Shen Yao nudged her lightly on the side, “Mom, I don’t like it here.”

She acted cute, “Let’s go.”

Shen Shanshan grinded her teeth and brushed her off unhappily, “Leave? For what?”

“Huo Yao wouldn’t accept you, don’t you know how to act cute?” She poked the little girl’s forehead furiously and fumed, “Aren’t you always smart? Where did that go?”

It was true that adored her daughter, but her love was only built on the foundation that she was obedient and sensible.

And now Shen Yao had to calm Shen Yao down. She waved her arms and replied gently, “Mom, don’t be angry…”

“Uncle is going to the Huo family tomorrow, I’ll ask him to take me with him.”

Shen Shanshan glanced at her, sounding suspicious, “You know your uncle’s personality well, why would he take you with him?”

They’ve been at the Shen family for so long but Shen Chuchen still didn’t put them in his eyes.

That man’s degree of heartlessness was just below Huo Yao.

Shen Yao smiled, “I’m a girl, a girl knows how to play with girls of her age the best.”

Shen Shanshan’s frown disappeared slowly.

She remembered Shen Chuchen’s unusual attitude when that little girl was over.

Perhaps it’ll really work.

The woman immediately smiled and kissed her, complimenting her joyfully, “As expected of my daughter, Yaoyao is too smart.”

Shen Yao smiled pridefully.

Smart…

Yes.

Compared to Shen Yan’an silence, she was indeed considered to be smooth.

But no one knew better than her that her so-called ‘intelligence’ was a joke in front of her younger brother.

When Shen Yan’an was three years old, he would know the answers to questions that were extremely difficult to her at a glance.

Compared to her, Shen Yan’an is the real genius.

It’s a shame that…

The genius hated to speak.

It was a Friday and Ye Sang was wasting time on the way back. Huo Chenyu stood outside the door and even Old Master Huo looked anxious.

He glanced at the grandson who he never really adored. His granddaughter wasn’t here and for once, he started a conversation with the boy.

Older Master Huo frowned slightly, “Why aren’t those children back yet? Didn’t Huo Yao go to school early in the morning, why isn’t he back with her at this time?”

Huo Chenyu looked down and replied carelessly, “Oh…”

“Perhaps it’s because he’s useless.”

Housekeeper: “…”

He wondered if his young master had taken some pills today.

He was a rather cold and aloof boy.

But he disliked anything and anyone when it came to things about Miss Sangsang.

Well.

He even started to nitpick in front of Old Master Huo.

The housekeeper thought that since the young master was trash-talking their old master’s son, he has to be angry about it, right?

But Old Master Huo, who never liked Huo Chenyu before, felt gratified this time.

He even nodded thoughtfully and immediately laughed coldly, “I wonder where that brat took my granddaughter to.”

“If he scares her, there’s no need to let him into the house tonight.”

Nobody understands one’s son than his father.

Old Master Huo knew how his son acted in private.

If Sangsang saw him doing some things like killing people or setting them on fire, wouldn’t she be scarred for life?

Huo Yao, who heard this as soon as he walked into the door, stared. “…”

He hugged the chubby and fast asleep daughter and complex feelings arose again.

It was his first time that his own father showed so much disdain for him.

After all, Old Master Huo used to treat him like air before.

The housekeeper also noticed the fast asleep Ye Sang and the smiles deepened in his eyes.

He had been here for ten years.

He watched Huo Yao grow up.

The father and son’s relationship was like walking on thin ice, tiny things would make their fragile relationship break apart.

When Mr. Huo was home, Old Master Huo would stay in his study.

Now that they made many exceptions for their young miss, their relationship wasn’t as tense as before.

“Our Young Miss is definitely the Huo family’s lucky star…” The housekeeper shook his head and mumbled.

Huo Chenyu carefully examined his little sister anxiously, but he was only a ten year old boy no matter how smart he was.

Huo Yao raised an eyebrow at Huo Chenyu standing on his tippy toes and decided to be generous for once as he bent down slightly to show his daughter to him.

Huo Chenyu pursed his lips together as he noticed Huo Yao’s action, but he humphed coldly and immediately interrogated.

“How did she get the scratches on her face?”

The man looked at him indifferently.

This kid wasn’t scared of him, but he was clearly mad for the little girl.

Speaking of the scratches on the little girl’s face, Huo Yao smiled and gloomily spat out two words:

“Zhao family.”

They touched his daughter twice.

Did they really think that he was a kind man?
