Chapter 441: The Consequences of Badmouthing His Little Sister
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The room was spacious and brightly lit, but when he met Huo Yichen’s dark eyes, Huo Xiuyuan only felt cramped.
The feeling of his neck being strangled was annoying, but he couldn’t breathe and his face was red. He was lifted up by Huo Yichen and couldn’t even reach out to stop him.
“If you can’t control that mouth, I can let Huo Hong do it for you.” Huo Yichen lowered his eyes. His threatening words coupled with his expressionless face inexplicably frightened Huo Xiuyuan.
Huo Xiuyuan braced himself and couldn’t answer, but Huo Yichen stared at him steadily. His cold gaze and threat stood in the shadow between his eyebrows. After a moment of silence, Huo Xiuyuan could only agree reluctantly.
Putting aside whether Huo Hong would listen to his explanation, Huo Xiuyuan didn’t have the courage to bear the consequences of provoking Huo Yichen.
Huo Yichen let go of his collar and walked out. However, Huo Xiuyuan felt his face burning from his sarcasm. He watched unwillingly as Huo Yichen left. His mood was far worse than when he came.
“Do you really think that you can be arrogant just because you hooked up with that Murong Family?” He cursed in his heart.
However, his voice was very soft. After saying it, Huo Xiuyuan realized that he had subconsciously lowered his voice and cursed after Huo Yichen left. He kicked the trash can beside him in frustration.
But when he said this, Huo Xiuyuan thought of Murong Qiao, that ungrateful woman.
He had been rejected time and time again. She had no taste at all.
“As expected, she’s also a bastard child that was picked up. She doesn’t have any upbringing at all.” Huo Xiuyuan sneered. “The two bastards are together. Perhaps their blood is not pure. They really think that they’re the eldest daughter and young master.”
With no one around, he naturally cursed wantonly. He even spat out the words that Huo Yichen had suppressed just now.
Huo Xiuyuan frowned and straightened his collar in front of the mirror. He put on a good mood.
However, these wanton and vicious words landed in the ears of someone outside.
Nan Hao, who was wearing a waiter’s uniform and a small suit that made his figure look tall and slender, stood outside the washroom and leaned against the wall. He had heard Huo Yichen’s scolding clearly from the time he left until now.
Nan Hao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, resisting the urge to go in and beat someone up.
However, an inextinguishable flame was still burning in his chest, slowly eating away at Nan Hao’s rationality.
As a waiter, he naturally knew Huo Xiuyuan’s identity. Moreover, Nan Hao had also heard a little about the other party’s high-profile pursuit of his Little Sister at Hui University some time ago. However, he didn’t expect to hear Huo Xiuyuan’s dirty mouth at this time and place.
He was so angry that the plate in his hand changed shape slightly. A small bend on the smooth and beautiful edge was not eye-catching, but it always existed to show his presence.
Nan Hao, who was in a fit of anger, had already thought of many ways to embarrass Huo Xiuyuan. In the end, it was precisely because of his anger that his vigilance decreased.
Just like that, Murong Qiao saw Nan Hao standing there from afar. Then, she stopped in her tracks and stopped at the corner of the corridor hesitantly.
“Nan Hao?” She was a little surprised to see Nan Hao here.
She was originally waiting for Huo Yichen in the garden, but after not seeing him come for a long time, she thought that something had happened to him, so she wanted to follow the original path and take a look at the situation.
She didn’t expect to meet someone unexpected.
Murong Qiao was half a corridor away from Nan Hao, so he naturally heard Huo Xiuyuan’s words clearly.
However, before she could figure out if she should go forward and greet Nan Hao, she saw Huo Xiuyuan walking out of the washroom.
Murong Qiao simply took a step back and stuck her head out to peek.
“Get lost. You’re blocking my way.” Huo Xiuyuan shouted at Nan Hao in frustration.
However, even though Nan Hao was clearly standing against the wall and it was not a problem for four to five people to walk in such a spacious corridor, Huo Xiuyuan still chose to pick on him.
Nan Hao lowered his head and leaned to the side symbolically. “…Sorry.”
This apology turned into a humble and afraid apology to Huo Xiuyuan.
Only then did the anger on Huo Xiuyuan’s face subside a little. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he walked towards the banquet.
He had not forgotten the mission Huo Hong had given him. Since he couldn’t stop Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen, he needed to find a suitable marriage partner as soon as possible.
When Nan Hao saw Huo Xiuyuan walking towards the banquet, an idea gradually formed in his mind and he immediately walked over.
The banquet was filled with toasts. The faint and dazzling light from the crystal lamps made people’s smiles look better. If not for the fact that they were hypocritical and looked at everyone’s jokes, this banquet would indeed be lively.
“Young Master Huo is talented and smart. Now that he’s been transferred back to the company, his future can be said to be limitless. Hahaha…”
“You flatter me.”
Even if the others’ flattery was not sincere, Huo Xiuyuan felt comfortable.
Although he spoke humbly, he felt very happy in his heart. It was as if he had found a release for the frustration of being humiliated by Huo Yichen from these people with fake smiles.
However, when he turned around, he was caught off guard and bumped into someone.
“I’m sorry!”
The sound of apology and the fragrance of the red wine assaulted Huo Xiuyuan’s face. More accurately, the red wine splashed all over Huo Xiuyuan’s body, and the red wine left stains all over his shirt. Even Huo Xiuyuan’s expression turned ugly.
However, the apology was filled with schadenfreude. It was deliberate. Nan Hao had targeted Huo Xiuyuan and bumped into him with the red wine.
However, he lowered his head slightly. Coupled with the fact that Huo Xiuyuan’s attention was not on him, he naturally couldn’t recognize Nan Hao as the waiter from the washroom.
The fragrance that once assaulted his nose also became the fuse for his anger at this moment.
If not for the fact that many people were standing here and looking at him, Huo Xiuyuan would have slapped this ignorant waiter.
“Sorry.” Huo Xiuyuan forced a smile and nodded at the people around him. “I’ll go tidy up.”
It was not good to flare up in public, especially on a day like today. In a sense, Huo Xiuyuan represented a portion of the Huo Family’s image.
“Young Master Huo, I’ll bring you to your room to change your clothes.”
Nan Hao took the initiative to lead the way.
Many guest rooms had been prepared for the guests today. Nan Hao remembered them clearly from a few steps away from the banquet.
Huo Xiuyuan left in a hurry. He could sense that those flattering faces that surrounded him earlier were all looking at him with a mocking gaze. His expression was as aggrieved as if he had swallowed something stinky.
“How f*cking unlucky,” Huo Xiuyuan cursed softly.
First, it was Huo Yichen, and then it was the red wine that splashed on him. Was everything going wrong for him today?
Nan Hao didn’t say anything. In the quiet corridor, one could only hear Huo Xiuyuan venting his anger.
When they arrived at the room, Huo Xiuyuan took off his clothes and went to take a shower.
He couldn’t return to the banquet with the smell of alcohol on him.
“I’m really sorry. I’ll go get you a new set.”
Nan Hao said insincere words and even took Huo Xiuyuan’s clothes away. His actions of pushing the door open and locking it could be said to be clean.
How dare he speak ill of his Little Sister?
Nan Hao patted the dust off his hands with a happy smile on his face. Then, he threw Huo Xiuyuan’s clothes into the trash can.
It was all trash anyway. He threw it away..
