What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

139

Although Huo Yueze is still in college, he has already started taking over some of Huo Xiaozheng's business.

Huo Xiaozheng calls it "training" for Huo Yueze.

But Huo Yueze has a vague feeling that the year he graduates will be the year Huo Xiaozheng retires.

When he heard this, Huo Xiaozheng surprisingly smiled at Huo Yueze.

"How could that be? Your uncle wouldn't be so heartless."

Huo Xiaozheng's appearance was so attractive that even Huo Yueze was almost deceived.

Today, if Huo Xiaozheng hadn't been tied up with a big client, it wouldn't have fallen to this old ox to deal with Ning Ning's affairs.

"Brother, are you going back to the company?" Huo Guining asked.

Huo Yueze, feeling a bit dizzy, replied, "Ning Ning, I haven't even graduated from college yet. Why don't you ask if I'm going back to school?"

Huo Guining's eyes darted around, and she pointed at the nearby bubble tea shop: "Brother, thank you for today. Why don't I treat you to some bubble tea?"

Her voice was so loud that it completely illuminated her nervousness.

Huo Yueze smiled, no longer teasing her: "About today's incident, I'll help you handle it. Uncle means that from now on, Brother Zhao will be with you, so you don't need to be afraid."

As he spoke, he pointed to a tall, imposing man not far away. Although he wasn't particularly burly, he had a strong presence.

"Brother Zhao is from the military. He can protect you."

The man Huo Yueze referred to as Brother Zhao noticed their gaze and nodded, acknowledging them.

Huo Guining didn't reject this protection: "Okay."

Huo Yueze patted her little head, sighing: "Not bad. You didn't try to be tough when facing trouble and sought help from adults. Our efforts over these years haven't been in vain."

Huo Guining's eyes curved into a smile: "It's all thanks to your good teaching~"

After chatting for a while, Huo Yueze saw that Brother Zhao had almost finished handling the situation. He sent Huo Guining back to school and then returned to the company.

When Huo Guining returned to the classroom, Zeng Zhilin's seat was still empty.

Chen Xi, seeing her come back from outside, curiously asked: "What happened? Why were both you and Zeng Zhilin not in the classroom? The class monitor just got back too."

Chen Xi spoke rapidly, her words tumbling out like beans spilling from a bag.

Huo Guining raised an eyebrow: "I went to the bathroom. As for them, I'm not sure."

Chen Xi obviously didn't believe her, but seeing her expression of not wanting to say more, she didn't press further.

That afternoon, Zeng Zhilin didn't show up at all.

With Huo Yueze's assurance, Huo Guining wasn't worried about Zeng Zhilin's personal safety.

At the end of school, Chen Xi, unable to suppress her curiosity, caught up with Huo Guining in a few steps, wanting to ask more.

A tall figure beat her to it, blocking Huo Guining's path.

"Fan Xingzhou?" Huo Guining looked confused. "Do you need something?"

Fan Xingzhou stood tall and straight in front of Huo Guining, a full head taller than her.

He spoke leisurely: "Did you find her?"
