Chapter 579: 369 Wuye vs Huoye, no will to survive (2 updates)

Hexi Huo Family

The Huo Family parents were really pressed for time. As soon as the car arrived home, Liang Yun took off her

coat and announced, “Shiyi, please have a seat wherever you like. I'll go to the kitchen and whip up a couple of

dishes.”

“Auntie, you don’t have to mind me. I'll take a stroll in the yard.”

There was still a bit of paperwork Shuci had to deal with at the police station. Liang Yun had wanted to cook a

meal for her son before leaving, so she cback early. Moreover, Jiang Shiyi didn’t wish to stay in the living

room and stare blankly with Huo Zheng, so he got up and went to the yard for sfresh air.

The Huo Family's yard was very spacious, but at a glance, there were just a few wooden stakes used for

training...

Huh?

Was he wandering around the yard, circling the wooden stakes?

Thankfully, Shuci and the others returned soon after, and everyone sat in the living room. Given that the Huo

father and son were both men of few words and Jiang Shiyi was merely a spectator, the atmosphere became

awkwardly silent, making Shuci uncomfortably self-conscious.

“You two, entertain your guest a bit, will you? Shuci, Shiyi, have soranges. Don’t be shy.” As Liang Yun

bustled in the kitchen and then cout to find everyone silently staring, she couldn't help but fret inwardly.

“Auntie Huo, I'll chelp you,” Shuci couldn't stand sitting idly anymore.

“There's no need, it'll be ready soon.” Liang Yun said before heading back into the kitchen.

Huo Zheng coughed softly, throwing a glance at his son:

Are you going to say something or not?

The person in question got the hint and glanced at Shuci, “Have stea.”

“Sure,” Shuci replied with a forced smile.

You've toldto have tea five times since | walked in the door!

Jiang Shiyi sat to the side, barely holding back his laughter. Was there really no other topic of conversation

besides tea?

Shuci checked the tand felt Tang Wan might arrive soon. Suddenly, she gave Jiang Shiyi a meaningful look

and excused herself to the restroom in the Huo Family's backyard.

Jiang Shiyi could only endure the Huo’s chilly glances and silently set down his teacup.

“Excuse me, | need to use the restroom as well.”

Once he caught up with Shuci in the backyard, she explained the situation.

“...You probably know about it already, but when you talk to Wanwan and the others later, could you be a bit

more tactful and avoid certain topics?” Such as how that Ms. Peng stirred up trouble and was unpleasantly rude.

Jiang Shiyi nodded, “I understand.”

“It’s rather embarrassing, making you see that mess and causing you to go out of your way.”

“You're the victim here. You encountered a hooligan boss, and his wife is no better. Now that they are both

detained, things have quieted down.”

“I initially didn’t want to kick them when they were down, but who could have expected...” Shuci commented

helplessly.

Back in the living room, father and son exchanged a glance. Huo Zheng, straightforward and blunt as always, got

straight to the point as he held a cup of tea.

“You like that girl.”

“She's of age, not a little girl.”

“If | ever catch you messing around with an underage girl, I'll break your legs.” Huo Zheng said coldly, “What's

the status between the two of you now?”

“It’s unclear.”

“You pick her up and drop her off at work every day and you say it’s unclear? What have you been busy with

these past few days?”

“Dad, what exactly do you want to ask?”

“Have you held hands?”

“Mhm.”

“Hugged?”

“Mhm.”

These were questions Qi Zeyan had asked before, and rounded up, all had been affirmative.

“After all that, it’s still unclear? | suspect you're just playing around!”

“I'm not.”

Huo Zheng had a slight headache

“What are you doing here? Don’t get your clothes dirty.” Liang Yun, knowing her son’s character and rare interest

in a girl, was determined to lend a hand.

“It’s fine. Is there anything | can help with?”

“Just helppick svegetables.”

observed her covertly, recalling that

Old Lady Jiang had praised Tang

Wan in her presence for her cooking

skills. Assuming Tang Wan's niece

would have similar skills, Liang Yun

considered her son quite fortunate.

But it wasn’t suitable to have the young woman cook on the first visit.

Later on, Liang Yun was thankful she hadn't let Shuci handle the knives or spatulas as her destructive

capabilities in the kitchen were truly...

Indescribable!

Even though she was Tang Wan’s aunt, she was not blood-related after all.

“Shuci, do you live alone?” Liang Yun naturally began to pry with casual conversation.
