What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

69

When Huo Guining woke up, Huo Yueze and Huo Jing had already left.

A small night light was still on in the bedroom, casting a soft, gentle glow.

Huo Guining got up and put on her little dinosaur pajamas before leaving the room.

The clock showed 7 PM.

Aunt Xu happened to be coming out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Huo Guining, she immediately went over to button up her clothes completely.

"Young miss, you need to wear your clothes properly. Don't catch a cold again."

Huo Guining remembered lying to Aunt Xu, using a cold as an excuse to get her to buy medicine.

A twinge of guilt rose in her heart.

"Thank you, Aunt Xu."

Aunt Xu knew this child was often sick and frail, which made her particularly sympathetic.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Aunt Xu gently took her hand and led her to the dining room. "You must be hungry. I've made your favorite..."

The afternoon's activities had given Huo Guining quite an appetite.

Even after finishing dinner, Huo Guining hadn't seen Huo Xiaozheng.

"Aunt Xu, where's Dad?"

Aunt Xu answered while tidying up the kitchen, "Mr. Huo is in the study."

After finishing the cleanup, Aunt Xu was ready to leave.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Xu, Huo Guining went straight to the study.

Hearing the familiar voice from inside, Huo Guining felt relieved. She picked up her tablet and lay down on the sofa, looking like a lazy fish.

The online gossip about her had almost died down.

Only when searching for specific keywords could one still find some "CP" fans.

As for Huo Jing, however...

Previously plagued by rumors of being a kept woman, she was now being gossiped about having a child out of wedlock.

Entertainment reporters were grasping at straws, spinning wild tales from a single photo.

With the year-end approaching, various award ceremonies and celebration galas were inviting celebrities.

Huo Jing, entangled in rumors, would inevitably find her work affected.

Huo Guining's little hands tapped away at the screen, looking very busy.

Huo Xiaozheng came down to find her like this.

"What are you playing?"

Seeing Huo Xiaozheng, Huo Guining's eyes lit up. She answered, "Looking at news about Auntie. Poor Auntie."

Huo Xiaozheng sat down beside her and glanced at the screen.

Various unsavory comments, full of hostility.

Of course, there were also true fans defending her, but faced with the "truth," these defenses seemed weak and ineffective.

Huo Xiaozheng grunted in agreement, "Indeed, quite unfortunate."

Huo Guining waited for him to continue.

Huo Xiaozheng asked, "What's the matter?"

Huo Guining stared at him intently and said, "Why doesn't Auntie just tell the truth? If she revealed her identity, wouldn't all this be solved?"
