"Little Bai, you're back." Yao Huiqin stood up with a smile.
Huo Jibai ignored Yao Huiqin. He didn't even look at her as he walked towards the stairs. It seemed like he was going upstairs.
Huo Xiangwei frowned and looked at Huo Jibai. "There are so many people here. Why didn't you say hello?"
Huo Jibai lazily glanced over. He seemed to have just realized that the house was a little crowded today, but it had nothing to do with him. Just as he was about to look away, he saw a familiar figure. He stopped in his tracks and walked towards the sofa. He stopped in front of Shuxin and asked with a frown, "Why are you here?"
Yao Huiqin smiled and said, "She's your Fifth Uncle's girlfriend …"
"You're my Fifth Uncle's girlfriend?" Huo Jibai stared straight at Shuxin's face.
"Yes, your Fifth Uncle …"
"I'm asking her," Huo Jibai interrupted Yao Huiqin coldly, but his eyes never left Shuxin's face.
Shuxin frowned slightly. She looked up at the young man standing in front of her. "Your grandmother is your elder. You can't be so rude."
Huo Jibai didn't expect Shuxin to say that. He was stunned for a moment, and the anger between his brows deepened. "I can do whatever I want. Why do you care?"
"…" Shuxin was speechless at Huo Jibai's words, but she couldn't say anything.
"Huo Jibai, don't go too far!" Huo Xiangwei jumped up from the sofa.
"Xiaowei, sit down," Yao Huiqin said softly to Huo Xiangwei.
"Mom, you've spoiled this kid. The more you give in to him, the more he'll look down on you. You don't owe him anything. His mom …"
"Xiaowei, that's enough!" Yao Huiqin growled coldly. "Don't you know what kind of occasion you're in today?"
"I just can't stand seeing him bully you like this." Huo Xiangwei was still very unhappy, but her voice had obviously softened.
"I did bully her. What can you do to me?" Huo Jibai shifted his gaze from Shuxin's face to Huo Xiangwei's, looking completely fearless.
"Little White." A deep and cold voice came from the railing on the second floor.
Huo Jibai's condescending expression instantly vanished. His lazy body straightened as he respectfully called out, "Fifth Uncle."
Huo Xiangwei looked at Huo Jibai with disdain and sneered, "You bully the weak and fear the strong."
Huo Jibai glanced coldly at Huo Xiangwei, but didn't dare to talk back.
After a while, Huo Yanqing came down from upstairs. His slightly furrowed brows were full of coldness. "Are you making your grandma angry again?"
Huo Jibai pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
"It's not just making Mom angry. He's completely out of control!" Huo Xiangwei said coldly.
"Xiaowei, can't you stop talking?" Yao Huiqin's thin face was tinged with a trace of helplessness.
"Even if you don't feel sorry for yourself, I feel sorry for you." Huo Xiangwei's eyes were slightly red.
"Run twenty laps around the villa, and you're not allowed to eat tonight." Huo Yanqing's voice was cold and deep. His words were like a military order that couldn't be disobeyed.
"Little Five …" Yao Huiqin wanted to say something, but Huo Xiangwei interrupted, "Mom, you should let Yanqing teach him a lesson. He has no respect for his elders."
Huo Jibai glanced at Shuxin, then walked out of the hall expressionlessly.
…
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was as harmonious as before. It was as if the incident with Huo Jibai had never happened.
After dinner, everyone sat around the sofa and drank tea.
Yao Huiqin asked Huo Yanqing, "Will Little Five rest at the old mansion tonight?"
