It was a rare occasion that Huo Yao had asked about any of her brothers, so Song Ning replied with a smile. “He’s a lawyer.”
When Huo Yao learned about this, it toppled the myth that her older brothers were good for nothing and lived off their parents.
“Your second older brother was out on a business trip all this while, but you’ll get to see him now,” explained Huo Jinyan.
He was worried that Huo Yao might think that his son had purposely not come home.
Huo Yao nodded absently and looked adorable as usual.
20 minutes after the waiters served the seafood, Huo Tingrui arrived there.
At first glance, Huo Tingrui looked a little reserved. He had deep eyes and wore a pair of rimless glasses on his high nose bridge. He seemed refined and sharp and had the aura of an elite lawyer.
The moment he entered the private room, he greeted Song Ning and Huo Jinyan before turning his eyes to look at Huo Yao. He was clearly shocked when he caught sight of her.
The girl had inherited their parents’ best DNA. Huo Yao was sitting there quietly and was really pretty. She did not appear to have been raised in the countryside and was completely different from the photo she had sent via WeChat.
This was unexpected.
Huo Tingrui pondered for a few seconds before he turned to walk over to Huo Yao. He pulled out the chair and sat next to her. He introduced himself rather officially to her. “Yaoyao, I’m Huo Tingrui, your second older brother.”
Huo Yao looked at Huo Tingrui with her bright, unsullied eyes. She said unhurriedly, “Hi, Brother Tingrui.”
When Huo Tingrui heard her greeting, an inexplicable emotion flooded his heart. Perhaps due to their blood bond, he felt closer to her than Lu Xia when he heard Huo Yao call him ‘Brother Tingrui’.
With that thought in his mind, Huo Tingrui said, “Say that again.”
Huo Yao, “???”
Huo Tingrui coughed. He awkwardly adjusted his glasses and changed the subject. “I didn’t bring you any presents today. Shall we go present hunting after we eat?”
Huo Yao hurriedly shook her head and said, “I’ll pass. I have classes at school in the afternoon.”
Did this entire family have some quirk about giving gifts?
It belatedly dawned on Huo Tingrui that his baby sister was still a student, so he did not force her.
After contemplating for a moment, he pulled out his phone from his pocket and turned it on as he said, “I will send you a little red packet. You can pick out a present when you’re free.”
When Huo Yao saw Huo Tingrui take out his phone, her temples suddenly started to throb. Before she could refuse him, her phone lit up with a notification.
Huo Yao glanced at the amount of money he had just transferred and her lips twitched. Did her second older brother have some misconceptions about the definition of the word ‘small’?
Two hundred thousand! Was that a small red packet? Was it small? Was it small at all?
Huo Yao pressed her eyebrows. Sure enough, this awful habit of giving her money ran through the family.
Huo Tingrui detected Huo Yao’s complicated expression. He touched his chin. Two hundred thousand was definitely too little, so he pulled out his wallet from his pocket and handed her a card.
“Take this card as well. Buy anything you like with it. The password is...” said Huo Tingrui.
Then he placed the bank card on the table.
Huo Yao, “...”
The feeling that she had unexpectedly turned into a girl from a rich family, was becoming more intense!
“You must remember to use my card also!” Huo Jinyan chimed in immediately.
After seeing his son hand Huo Yao a bank card, he reminded Huo Yao to use his as well. He didn’t want to be left behind.
Huo Yao, “...”
