Huo Yao arrived home.
The old man and Huo Jinyan were playing chess in the living room.
Huo Yao walked over and greeted them politely.
The old man put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Huo Yao. "Do you know how to play chess?"
Huo Yao leaned against the sofa armrest and said calmly, "No."
"Oh." The old man did not say anything else. His eyes landed on the chessboard and he looked focused.
Huo Yao glanced at the liar. He was really good at pretending.
Huo Jinyan raised his head to look at his daughter before turning to look at the door. He asked her. "Why are you alone? Where's Tingrui?"
"He said he has to work overtime, so he won't be coming home," replied Huo Yao.
She believed that Tingrui had come up with such a lame excuse because he did not want to be forced by the family to go on blind dates.
Huo Jinyan's brows relaxed when he heard this.
Although he felt something was off about Huo Tingrui working overtime so suddenly, he did not think too much about it.
After all, there was one less eyesore in the house, so he felt good about it.
"Uh huh. It's good that he's working overtime. That way, people won't say that he's living off his parents. We aren't rich, so we can't afford to keep him around," said Huo Jinyan casually.
Huo Yao's lips twitched violently. A complicated look appeared on her face.
If she had not gone to the restaurant with Tingrui today, she might have pretended to believe his nonsense.
The old man glanced at Huo Jinyan quizzically. Their house was full of priceless antiques. How could they be considered not rich?
At that moment, Grandpa Sheng's phone rang. He took out his phone from his jacket pocket. There were two text messages, both from that brat of his.
[You are at the Huo residence.]
[Are you coming back on your own, or should I get someone to invite you over?]
The old man pursed his lips and put his phone in his pocket. He had called the young lady while he was in the washroom and forgot to turn off his phone.
"Old Master, it's your turn," said Huo Jinyan with a smile.
Old Master Huo must have forgotten to turn off his phone, and his grandson had found it. Old Master Huo gathered his thoughts and looked at the chessboard. He paused for two seconds before he said embarrassedly, "Huo Yao, I can't play today. My grandson asked me to go home."
Huo Jinyan looked at the old man in surprise. "Is your grandson done with his business?"
The old man coughed dryly and nodded. "Yes."
Huo Yao straightened her back and was about to head back upstairs when she heard this. Her eyes twitched and she turned her head.
Heh, he kept emphasizing that he was a lonely old man.
This old liar.
The old man did not notice Huo Yao looking at him. He picked up his walking stick and stood up slowly. Then he said, "Thank you for the past two days. Do drop by my place when you return to the capital."
Huo Jinyan stood up and nodded politely. "You're welcome. I'll definitely go when I get the chance."
Capital?
Huo Yao's eyes involuntarily paused on the old man.
Old Master Sheng's cell phone rang again. He took it out and picked it up. His tone was very impatient. "Got it. I'll be right out."
The old man nodded at Huo Jinyan after he hung up the phone. Then he turned to look at Huo Yao with an uncomfortable expression on his face. However, he did not explain and walked towards the entrance with his walking stick.
"Let me walk you out," said Huo Jinyan.
The old man paused in his steps. He thought for a moment and said, "It's fine. Yaoyao can walk me out. I like her a lot." Huo Yao was speechless.
