What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

27

Ever since hearing that Old Master Huo had the idea of adopting his sister into their family, he had been thinking about it day and night, longing for his sister to live with him. This way, he could see his adorable sister every day and even show her off at school.

Upon hearing Huo Yueze mention this, Huo Xiaozheng's face, which had just softened, instantly darkened again.

Old Master Huo felt a bit guilty. Embarrassed and angry, he picked up his cane and swung it at Huo Yueze, shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zheng Jinxiu shot a reproachful look at her husband and gave Huo Xiaozheng a reassuring expression.

"Don't mind your father," she said.

Huo Xiaozheng remained noncommittal.

"By the way, I'm planning to host a dinner party for Ningning," Huo Xiaozheng said, looking at Old Master Huo, who was still vigorously waving his cane despite his age. "Dad, you can announce Ningning's identity at that time."

"Alright," Old Master Huo immediately replied. "When?"

"In a little while," Huo Xiaozheng pondered briefly. "Shen Shiyan says Ningning's current state requires her to see a psychologist."

A 'click' sound of high heels from the doorway interrupted their conversation.

Then, the main door was pulled open.

A tall, stunningly beautiful young woman walked in, pulling a suitcase. She was wearing a black long dress with a white fur coat. She greeted everyone stylishly, "Hi~ everyone, I'm back."

Huo Yueze's eyes lit up. He immediately escaped from his grandfather's cane and rushed over like a firecracker, hugging her arm and whining, "Aunt, save me!"

The newcomer was Huo Jing, Huo Xiaozheng's sister.

"Jingjing is back," Old Master Huo and Zheng Jinxiu said with some surprise.

She greeted her parents and then patted her nephew's hand. "What trouble have you gotten into now?"

Huo Yueze cried foul, ready to spill everything like beans from a bamboo tube, but was mercilessly interrupted by Huo Xiaozheng.

"Why did you come too?" Huo Xiaozheng frowned.

Huo Jing tossed her suitcase to Huo Yueze, gesturing for him to take it to the guest room downstairs.

Hearing Huo Xiaozheng's rather cold question, Huo Jing raised an eyebrow. "I saw the news and rushed over to see my little niece. Where is she?"

"Asleep," Huo Xiaozheng said coldly, watching Huo Yueze carry the luggage. His tone was gloomy as he added, "You go back with Mom and Dad later, don't stay here."

Huo Jing ignored him, casually asking the housekeeper for an iced Americano and sitting down on the sofa.

Old Master Huo and Zheng Jinxiu, hearing this, were a bit displeased.

"Is that how you talk to your sister?" Zheng Jinxiu sat down next to Huo Jing, squeezing her wrist. "You've lost weight again. Don't always drink coffee, it's not good for your health."

Huo Jing responded carelessly, "I know, I know."

Old Master Huo chimed in, "Why suffer unnecessarily? It's not like the family can't afford to support you. Your brother..."

Huo Jing impatiently interrupted, "It's getting late, shouldn't you two go home to rest?"

Zheng Jinxiu gave Huo Jing a reproachful look, her smile indulgent. "Alright, alright, we'll stop talking..."
