Tang Xi's heart began to thump. She tidied up her slightly messy hair, worried that the makeup on her face would not be spent. She was sweating during the treatment just now.
"Excuse me, where is the bathroom?"
"There's a room here."
"Thank you." Tang Xi walked in and quickly put on makeup. Then she followed the maid upstairs and came to a study.
The study was lit with sandalwood, and several rows of bookshelves were filled with books from all over the country. A tall and straight figure stood in front of one of the lists, lazily flipping through a book. His slender fingers had clear joints.
"Mr. Huo," Tang Xiwan said softly, with a shy smile in her eyes.
"Is grandma asleep?" The man's deep and magnetic voice, in the quiet space, was like the most heavy note of the piano, lingering in her ears, very charming.
"Yes, the old lady probably didn't sleep well for a few days." Tang Xiwan nodded and said.
"Yeah." Huo Boyan nodded and then raised his hand. "It's very late. You can go back. I'll have to trouble you with Grandma's condition."
"Mr. Huo, you're too polite." Tang Xi lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Let her go just like that?
"Mr. Huo, I know some massage techniques. I see that your eyes are bloodshot, so I'm sure you didn't have a good rest. Do you need me to give you a massage?" Tang Xiwan was looking for an opportunity. If she could get closer to Huo Boyan, she would have a better chance to attract him.
"You don't have to." Huo Boyan coldly refused. "You can go back."
Tang Xiwan didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so she had to leave first.
Huo Boyan pressed between his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably irritated. He had lost interest in women. On the night five years ago, he took the wrong medicine and went crazy with a woman in the hotel. The next day when he woke up, the woman disappeared. Because of excessive consumption, he temporarily lost his male function. Ten months later, someone took the two children to him. Grandma said that she gave the woman 50 million yuan and bought the mother-son relationship.
Gu Yu said that there was no muddy land, but only a tired cow. He had become a exhausted cow. That woman should be able to fly.
She didn't need to take care of the child after getting the money. She didn't know where she was now.
It was best not to let him meet her again in this life. Otherwise, her life would usher in a great disaster.
He would never let go of a woman who betrayed her own body for money, gave birth to children at random and was irresponsible.
Tang Xi returned home and sat in the living room in anger. Her father, Tang Yishan, and mother, Qin Liu, hurried forward to show their concern. "Daughter, did you see Huo Boyan when you went to the Huo family house?"
"I did, but he was very cold to me." Tang Xiwan's face was full of disappointment.
"I heard that this Mr. Huo doesn't approach a woman. Don't worry, there will be a long way to go." Qin Liu looked at her daughter gently. Her daughter's appearance was definitely one of the best, and she was knowledgeable and reasonable. The rich childes who came to ask for marriage came one after another. Unfortunately, her daughter was picky and didn't like any of them. However, this Huo Boyan captured her daughter's heart at a glance.
Tang Ishan was not so optimistic. "Huo Boyan has two sons, and the woman he wants to marry in the future must be chosen from outside. Besides, he must make his son like her. Xiaowan, in my opinion, don't be in a hurry to show off in front of Boss Huo for the time being. Get his two sons to like you first."
It was only then that Qin Liu realized that if her daughter really married into the Huo family, she would have to be a stepmother. It wasn't easy to be a stepmother.
"Honey, is the Huo family really that good? Why don't we let our daughter get close to Huo Boyan?"
"Mom, except for Huo Boyan, I won't marry anyone else." Tang Xi stood up angrily and went upstairs.
"I... I'm just doing this for your own good. Being a stepmother is not a joke..."
"Don't worry about me. I'm just taking care of two children. My daughter is so smart that she can handle it well. But do you think anyone in the Huo family can marry into the Huo family? That's a top-class wealthy family. They pick a wife, but only one out of ten million." Tang Ishan didn't like his wife's pessimistic idea and thought that she was just a woman's opinion.
Qin Liu had no choice but to give up the idea of persuading her to retreat. Yes, the Huo family was not an ordinary wealthy family. If her daughter married into the Huo family, she would be superior.
After Tang Xi went upstairs, she immediately posted an invitation online.
"What is the favorite gift of a four or five-year-old boy..."
After sending the post, she went to take a shower. After taking a shower, she came back and saw a lot of netizens following the post downstairs. They must all have children. Everyone made a suggestion.
"The King Kong? A mecha?" The corners of Tang Xi's mouth curled up, and she thought with disdain. It was just two four-year-old little guys. They would be happy to take a few toys to coax. Maybe they lacked maternal love since they were young. Seeing that she was so nice to them, they couldn't wait to recognize her as a mother.
"What kind of woman is she? She is so lucky that she gave birth to Huo Boyan's child? Since she has a child, what about their mother? Is she dead? Is she crazy? Or... is it the child that the Huo family spent money to sell in order to pass on the family line?" Many strange thoughts swirled in Tang Xiwan's mind.
Ye Xi had been helping in the factory for three days in a row. The two little cute girls studied hard in school and went up every day.
Another little girl with a ponytail came from the middle class. Her name was Cheng Tingting. Carrying Granny Xiang's schoolbag on her back, the little girl raised her head haughtily and hit people with her nose.
Ye Yiyi and Ye Tian'an were bored as they played with the building blocks beside them. They sized up the child that they had just learned.
Cheng Tingting's big eyes narrowed when she saw the Ye sisters. She walked over angrily, pointed at their faces, and said, "Huo Ziye, Huo Zimo, why are you still here?"
Ye Yiyi and Ye Tian'an blinked their big eyes.
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm Ye Yiyi, and she's my younger sister, Ye Tian'an."
"It's you. Don't think that I don't know you just because you've become girls. Hum." After Cheng Tingting finished speaking, she picked up Ye Tian'an's little hand and opened her mouth to take a bite on the back of her hand.
"Ah... it hurts." Ye Tian'an burst into tears.
"Let go of my sister. What are you doing?" Ye Yiyi immediately stood up and pushed Cheng Tingting hard. "Don't bully my sister."
Cheng Tingting sat down on the floor and cried out in pain, "Teacher, she pushed me. My butt hurts."
The teacher immediately rushed over to ask. Ye Yiyi's eloquence was much better than Cheng Tingting's. She didn't let Cheng Tingting complain first. She had clearly explained the whole thing.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the surveillance camera. She bit my sister first, so I pushed her away."
"No, you pushed me. I didn't bite you..." Cheng Tingting was used to lying and retorted loudly.
The teacher immediately checked the surveillance video and found that Cheng Tingting was the first to bite, so she had to report it to the parents.
Hearing that her daughter had been pushed to the ground on her first day of school, Ye Ningyao immediately drove her sports car and came to the school to argue.
At the same time, Ye Xi also received a call. Her daughter had been bitten, so she hurried to the school to learn about the situation.
