Huo Yao drank a few cups of tea before she finally digested the fact that the restaurant belonged to the Huo family.
"So our family is filthy rich?"
Huo Tingrui looked at his little sister in disbelief. He finally realized that their parents had not told her about their family's financial situation.
Huo Tingrui coughed before he said, "We are... just so-so."
Huo Yao asked with mixed feelings. "What do you mean by 'just so rich'?" Huo Yao's eyes lit up.
"I'm not sure. Maybe a little better than the average listed company," said Huo Tingrui. He did not intend to hide the truth. He really did not know.
He was already busy enough with his own company, so he had no time to care about his family's financial situation.
Huo Yao glanced at him disdainfully. His answer was as good as not answering her question.
Huo Tingrui touched his nose before he lowered his head and picked up his teacup to drink. Before long, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and sent a text.
"Dad, how rich are we exactly?"
Huo Jinyan was puzzled when he received Huo Tingrui's text, so he replied with a question mark.
Huo Tingrui contemplated for a moment before he replied. "She's asking."
Huo Jinyan held his phone. Although he did not know why his daughter would suddenly ask him about this, he could not afford to lie to her for fun, so he replied. "Just tell her that we don't have much money."
Huo Tingrui adjusted his glasses before he replied. "... Why did you say that?"
Huo Jinyan: "Because we already told her that we aren't rich."
Huo Tingrui's lips twitched. Just as he typed, 'Huo Yao already knows that we're rich,' he received another text from his father before he could hit send.
Huo Jinyan: "You'd better not mention that we are rich in front of your little sister. Otherwise, you're dead meat."
Huo Tingrui's fingers trembled when he sensed his father's murderous aura. He hurriedly deleted the text he had just typed.
Fortunately, he did not send it. Otherwise, things would have gotten out of hand.
Huo Tingrui typed another text and sent it. "Don't you know what kind of person I am? Even if my little sister knows that we are rich, she wouldn't have found out from me. Don't worry! Smileface.jpg. "
Huo Jinyan said, "Uh huh. That's good."
Huo Tingrui replied, "Of course."
Before long, Huo Tingrui put his phone away and raised his head to look at his little sister with a serious look on his face. "Huo Yao, what if I told you that my family is rich and this restaurant belongs to the Huo family? Would you believe me if I told you that I was just boasting about my family's wealth?"
"..."
"Mhm, I'm sure you'll believe me," said Huo Tingrui confidently.
He didn't know if he was trying to numb himself or brainwash his sister. In short, he had already decided to move back to his house and live there for a while.
"..."
Did her second brother have a very serious schizophrenia?
Not long after, the restaurant manager personally served the dishes they had ordered. He served them attentively on the table and distributed the dishes before leaving reluctantly.
Huo Tingrui could not help pressing his forehead when he saw the manager's reaction. If it were not for the manager's actions, he would not have slipped up and ended up homeless.
