Chapter 78: Everyone Had Secrets Of Their Own

Huo Xiang had added Huo Yao on his WeChat a long time ago. Although he did not despise his biological sister for growing up in the countryside, he was afraid that she might be an unrequired burden. Hence, he never texted her even though he could.
Since Huo Xiang had added a remark to Huo Yao’s nickname previously, he quickly found and opened their dialog box. Then he tapped several times and entered a sum on the fund transfer page.
“The daily transfer limit is two hundred thousand, so just take this for now. I’ll send you more money tomorrow. Buy whatever you like and call me for more,” Huo Xiang told her indifferently.
Huo Yao could hear a notification alert coming from her phone in her pocket. It felt as though she was being flooded with huge sums of money again.
She went speechless, “...”
Was this a genetic thing?
It absolutely must be!
Huo Yao pressed her forehead without bothering to retrieve her phone. Huo Xiang’s voice floated out when she was about to turn him down. “If you don’t accept it, I’ll assume you are still pissed at me and not planning to forgive me.”
Huo Yao, “...”
The way this family forced money on Huo Yao sounded utterly identical.
-_-||
Huo Yao remained in a daze until dinner after she was forced to accept the large sum of money.
There was a definite deviation from her initial impression that the Huo family was poor. Huo Xiang’s shocking actions on their first meeting itself had made it clear that they were anything but poor.
“Yaoyao, what’s on your mind? Why do you look so preoccupied?” asked Song Ning concernedly as she sat next to her.
The girl seemed lost in thought ever since dinner started, and it was the first time Song Ning had seen her like that.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and shook her head slightly. In a complicated voice, she said, “I’m fine.”
Huo Xiang glanced at her. The girl’s face still appeared a little distracted. Perhaps it was due to their blood bond that he found his little sister’s expression adorable while he usually thought it as obnoxious on others.
Shortly after, his father said, “Xiang, why don’t you stay for a little longer this time? Work is important, but you have to rest too.”
Huo Xiang tightened his grip on the chopsticks when he heard this as he suppressed the look in his eyes. His handsome face seemed almost normal.
He said calmly, “I can’t. My schedule is completely packed this year. I have to fly to City B to film a MV. Time is really tight.”
Post that, he lowered his head and ate.
“You insisted on becoming a singer, but look at how overworked you are now. Look at how much weight you have lost this time,” said Song Ning in a heartbroken voice.
When Huo Xiang swallowed the rice in his mouth, it seemed to taste bitter. He looked up a few seconds later with a smile on his face and replied to his mother. “Even better if I’m skinnier. I need to lose weight for filming.”
Song Ning shook her head helplessly and said, “At your age, you should take care of yourself!”
Huo Xiang smiled dejectedly.
When Huo Yao raised her head, she was just in time to catch the strange expression on his face. Although it seemed natural, there was something off.
Despite the doubts hovering in Huo Yao’s mind, she did not probe him.
Everyone had their secrets.

Huo Xiang hung out in the living room for 30 minutes after dinner before making an excuse to leave.
“I have a nagging feeling that there’s something wrong with Xiang,” said Song Ning with a frown on her face after he left.
Since men were not as observant as women, Huo Jinyan merely patted Song Ning’s hand and consoled her. “He’s probably too tired. Didn’t he just return from overseas today?”
