Chapter 1144: This Is Madam Huo
Translator: Yunyi
“I think what was posted online is most likely true. I have a friend who works in a branch of Huo Corporation. I heard from him that his boss has been having long-distance meetings and hasn’t been at the office recently.
“Fortunately, Mr. Huo is fine. Otherwise, wouldn’t Song Yaoyao be a widow at such a young age?”
“What widow? She hasn’t married Mr. Huo yet. The two of them are just engaged.”
“Why are you all focusing on Mr. Huo and Young Master Huo? Am I the only one who fell in love with Director Song’s face? Ahhh! Why isn’t she solely a part of the entertainment industry?If she were to act, I would definitely be her fan! She has so much potential. In that video, she’s as beautiful as a fairy. Even a woman like me would like to do her!”
“Ahhh! I’ve finally found someone like me! I thought I was the only one who noticed! Her answer was too domineering. How confident must she be to challenge Young Master Huo? In short, the public should not keep guessing about her feelings. If Song Yaoyao dared to do this, it must be because Mr. Huo gave her the confidence!”
…
Song Yaoyao had not been to school recently. When she woke up from her afternoon nap, she realized that Huo Yunque was not around.
Ever since Huo Yunque came back, she had taken care of him and made medicine for him. Now, he was much better.
Song Yaoyao rubbed her head, put on a coat, and went downstairs.
However, she did not see him. The living room was empty.
She was surprised. “Where’s Gege?” When she passed by the study, she saw that Huo Yunque was not in the study.
“Miss Song.”
A servant quickly explained, “Elder Huo is back. He and the Master are in the ancestral hall.”
Song Yaoyao was stunned. After a long while, she slowly said, “Oh, then help me prepare some food. I’m a little hungry.”
“Okay, Miss Song, please wait a moment.”
The simple food was prepared very quickly. Song Yaoyao had just eaten two mouthfuls when she saw Uncle Zhang walk in.
“Miss Song, the Elder Huo wants you to go over.”
“Me?”
Song Yaoyao didn’t understand. She was holding a spoon in her hand, and her little face was still red from waking up. “Did he say why?”
“I don’t know,” Uncle Zhang said cheerfully, “Why don’t you go over and find out?”
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she swallowed the food in her mouth and felt that Uncle Zhang seemed to be more respectful to her.
Why was that?
“Alright.”
She put down the spoon and followed Uncle Zhang out of the dining room before she managed to finish her food.
It was her first time going to the ancestral hall. Only now did she know that there was actually an ancestral hall in Huo Manor. She had never even heard of it before.
Uncle Zhang led her to the back and finally stopped outside a house that had been built.
This building did not fit in with the overall style of the main building.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door was tightly shut. Uncle Zhang knocked on the door and said in a low voice, “Old Master, Miss Song is here.”
“Yaoyao? Come in quickly!”
Elder Huo’s familiar voice was heard. It sounded friendly and was very gentle.
Song Yaoyao pushed the door open. This door was probably not be opened often, so it made a grinding sound. She walked in and was stunned when she saw that it was full of people.
Standing at the door, she did not know where to go.
If she had known earlier, she would not have come. Song Yaoyao felt a little regretful.
“Come here.”
A deep and cold voice sounded at the right time. A man in loose-fitting clothes waved at her.
Song Yaoyao pursed her pink lips and slowly walked to Huo Yunque’s side.
“Don’t be nervous, sit down.”
Huo Yunque wrapped her little hand in his palm and pulled her to sit down beside him.
She had just woken up, and her head was still a little dizzy. Therefore, she did not notice how special her seat was.
Elder Huo sat at the head of the table, while Huo Yunque and Song Yaoyao sat beside him.
The rest of the elders sat on the chairs on both sides.
Song Yaoyao was in a daze, almost thinking that she had traveled through time.
Gazes swept across Song Yaoyao. She lowered her eyes and looked calm. She sat quietly by Huo Yunque’s side. The elders could not help but nod.
It was good to remain calm!
However, they did not know that Song Yaoyao had not reacted at all!
“This is Yaoyao. Yaoyao, greet the uncles.”
This was the first time Song Yaoyao had seen so many elders from the Huo Family. She stood up obediently and bowed to greet them.
“Okay, okay, okay!”
“You don’t have to be so polite, please take a seat.”
Song Yaoyao turned her head and looked at Huo Yunque innocently.
Huo Yunque coughed lightly and a smile filled his eyes. “Sit.”
He forgot to mention that, as his wife, Song Yaoyao could sit here without having to answer to anyone.
She simply greeted the uncles because she was polite.
Elder Huo sat in the main seat and looked at Song Yaoyao, “This is Yunque’s future wife and the future lady of the house. I called her here this time to introduce her to everyone. Now that you know her, I don’t want you to be unfamiliar with her in the future.”
Hearing Elder Huo’s words, the other elders immediately shook their heads gesturing that they wouldn’t. They then praised Song Yaoyao.
However, Song Yaoyao still did not hear the main point.
Ten minutes later.
Elder Huo spoke slowly, “Actually, there is something else that I have invited you all here for.”
He narrowed his eyes and slowly took a sip of tea. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. His aura spread and his smile was replaced by a stern and cold expression.
“I believe that everyone has heard about what happened to Yunque?”
The ancestral hall was silent. Elder Huo tapped his fingers on the table as he casually swept his gaze across everyone present.
“Our family has a few hundred years of history because of the concerted efforts of our ancestors. But now, some people don’t know their priorities. They are restless and acting out of line. They even put their hands on a direct descendant. Yunque is lucky to have survived this time, but that doesn’t mean that this matter will be easily resolved!
“I only have one son. I’m old now, and Yunque has been in charge of the Huo Family for many years. I think everyone here has witnessed his ability. These days, I just want to plant flowers in the manor overseas and raise a few dogs to spend my old age in peace. If I can live to see my grandchildren being born in the future, then I can die in peace! But…”
He slammed the table and sneered, “There are people who don’t want to live a good life and are always looking for something to do…”
“This…”
“Big Brother, this, this has nothing to do with us!”
“That’s right, your wish is also our wish. We all know that the Huos have come this far because of Yunque. I don’t mean to say that among these juniors, no one can compare to Yunque.?”
Huo Yunque let out an indecipherable laugh. He lowered his eyes and played with Song Yaoyao’s slender fingers without saying a word.
