Chapter 650: Saving Up For A House
Tan Sangsang was feeling so uncomfortable that her body stiffened and she sat down before picking up her chopsticks.
The Huo family was a little different from what she imagined. She thought that wealthy families were usually very particular when it comes to table manners but clearly, the Huo Family was different.
“Grandpa, don’t keep staring at Third Brother’s girlfriend, you’ll scare her off.”
Huo Qingyuan was the first to speak.
Huo Xian was a little displeased and he chided, “Focus on eating. You don’t even have a boyfriend yourself. When you finally found one, he turned out to be a swindler who was out to cheat your money. It’s no wonder that your grades are so poor, your IQ is really low to begin with.”
Huo Qingyuan felt extremely aggrieved. ‘Grandpa, do you know that words can kill?’
Seeing how Huo Xian had just chided Huo Qingyuan, Tan Sangsang couldn’t help but be scrupulous. Indeed,everything just now was just an illusion.
“Sangsang, what are you waiting for? Quickly eat up. Is the food not to your liking?”
Tan Sangsang quickly shook her head and said, “No, no, the food is delicious.”
Huo Xian nodded and asked, “Your parents are still around, right? Let’s all have dinner together some time, alright?”
“My parents got a divorce when I was a little child. Now, I’m living with my mom in a rented apartment.”
“Oh, I see, their parents passed away when they were little kids too. I was the one who raised them.”
Tan Sangsang smiled and said, “Grandpa Huo, you’ve raised them really well. They’re all outstanding figures now.”
Huo Xian grinned even more gleefully and said, “As expected of a reporter, you’re really good at talking. I heard that you and Jinyi are childhood friends, is that so?”
Tan Sangsang made eye contact with Yan Jinyi and said, “I used to live with my grandmother, whose home was near Jinyi’s home. Later on, my mom found a job in the city and I had to come here to attend college too so we decided to move here and rented an apartment to live in.”
“Is your mom still working? Ah, she ought to be enjoying life now.”
Tan Sangsang was about to say that her mother is now responsible for taking care of her son but she was soon snapped back to her senses by a sudden kick from Yan Jinyi. “Oh, she retired last year and she’s staying at home most of the time now.”
Huo Zihang noticed that Huo Xian was still going to probe further so he took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat for him. “Grandpa, if you keep asking her any more questions, she’s going to be frightened by you.”
Huo Xian glared at her and chided, “Nonsense, I’m showing Sangsang some concern. By the way, you have a house under your name that’s unoccupied at the moment, right? Why don’t you just let Sangsang and her mother move in!?!”
Before Huo Zihang said anything, Tan Sangsang quickly refuted, “It’s alright, the place we’re living in now is pretty good. The rent is cheap and we’ve familiarized ourselves with the neighbors too.”
‘Besides, I’m already trying hard to save up for a house.’
However, in a developed city, property prices were extremely expensive.
Tan Sangsang somehow felt melancholic.
“Go ahead and move in. It’s going to be empty anyway. If you move in, it’ll be livelier.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jinyi tossed a chopstick over and it happened to slide past his face before landing on the ground behind him.
Huo Zihang felt like he had just had a brush with death and was so frightened that he turned pale. “Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”
“You deserve it. What do you mean it’s empty anyway? It’s your blessing if Sangsang is willing to be your girlfriend, you dimwit!”
Huo Xian also couldn’t help but criticize him while giving Yan Jinyi a thumbs up too. “Jinyi, you’ve done well. You’re the only one who can discipline these two little ones.”
Tan Sangsang didn’t take Huo Zihang’s words seriously at all.
There was no way she’d live in his house. What if he discovers Mu Mu?
