Chapter 438: Chapter 438: The Unreliable Stepmother? Picking a Fight?
“Good, very good.” It was that phrase again. Beyond that, Huo Zhongcheng had nothing more to say but to directly say, “That’ll be it for today, I’m heading back now.”
“Next ti, co see with Qian’er.”
Xia Chuyi pondered the aning, did Huo Zhongcheng just approve of her?
Huo Zhongcheng turned and left, and Xia Chuyi hurried to see him off.
“Uncle Huo, have a safe trip,” she said.
Huo Zhongcheng nodded, waved to her, and closed the car window.
The car had traveled so distance when the resting Huo Zhongcheng opened his eyes and asked, “Xiao, what do you think of this child?”
Huo Zhongcheng questioned the guard.
The guard beside him scratched his head: “Chief, you’re asking ? How would I know? But Commander Huo’s taste should be pretty good, right?”
“What do you think?” Huo Zhongcheng asked the driver next.
The driver, focused on driving without looking to the side, said, “I can’t tell if she’s good or not, but since Mr. Xia is a student at Kyoto University, she must be quite decent, right? It’s just that her background is a bit lacking.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhongcheng laughed and said, “You two are clever, always leaving yourselves so leeway in what you say.”
“This child…” Huo Zhongcheng suddenly got serious and said, “Her deanor is neither humble nor arrogant, and she handles matters with calmness and generosity; indeed, she is not bad.”
“As for her background, although it’s lacking, it doesn’t matter. Her status as a student of Kyoto University can make up for that.”
The driver and the guard exchanged glances, thinking: Does this an that the Chief is very satisfied with Commander Huo’s choice?
Outside the car window.
Su Susu was out shopping with a friend.
“Hey, Suli, look at that car, isn’t that Old Huo’s?” her friend asked Su Susu.
“What?” Su Susu hurriedly focused her eyes and said, “It really is Old Huo’s car.”
What was he doing here?
A puzzled expression crossed Su Susu’s face.
“Right,” her friend then recalled sothing and said, “Suli, isn’t that direction the way to the Bao Mansion?”
“I heard that the superiors had already returned the Bao Mansion to the Bao Family earlier, could Old Huo be going there?”
At those words, Su Susu’s face suddenly soured.
“I’m feeling a bit unwell, let’s just end our outing here,” Su Susu feigned a head ache.
Seeing this, her friend understood what she ant and said, “Okay, then let’s part ways here. You go ho and rest well.”
Go ho?
Of course, Su Susu did not head ho.
Instead, she took her guards and went straight to the Bao Mansion.
“Rap rap rap!” The door was knocked.
Just as she was about to leave the Bao Mansion, Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows and opened the door.
She saw a middle-aged woman, dressed very elegantly.
Upon seeing her, the woman was first startled, and then imdiately scowled and asked sharply, “Who are you?”
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi’s brow furrowed even tighter. “You knock on my door, yet you ask who I am?”
And her attitude was so awful.
When Su Susu saw her response, her expression soured even further and she questioned again, “Did Huo Zhongcheng just visit here?”
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi raised her eyebrow and gave the woman a once-over.
At her age, with such attire, and a tone like that…
“Are you, Lady Huo?” Xia Chuyi asked.
“If you know who I am, then confess honestly. Did he co here?” Su Susu said arrogantly, chin up. “Did he co to see the possessions of that woman with the last na Bao?”
Xia Chuyi: …
Commander Huo’s stepmother was not reliable at all.
“Nice to et you, Mrs. Huo. I’m Xia Chuyi.” After pondering for a mont, Xia Chuyi decided to introduce herself.
