Chapter 77: In The Name of the Huo Family

Mo Zhu’s words made Huo Xuan laugh. He looked at the girl indifferently and said, “Isn’t the Huo family’s money my money? Speaking of which, you’re my fiancée, so isn’t my money yours too? Why do you have to talk about returning it? If you want to use the Huo family’s money, go ahead. I’ll earn more after you spend it.”

The girl ate the porridge slowly because an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart from Huo Xuan’s words. Mo Zhu had never felt such an emotion before, and now, she didn’t know how to respond.

Right now, both Huo Xuan and her only had a thin layer of relationship as they are connected by marriage. There were no relationship foundations between the two of them. As for their future, Mo Zhu had never taken the initiative to think about it.

Mo Zhu lowered her head and did not speak. Her long eyelashes lowered slightly under her eyes, hiding the emotions surging in the girl’s eyes.

“What are you hesitating about, Xiao Zhu? Do you think there’s anything wrong with what I’m saying?” From the reflection in Mo Zhu’s eyes, Huo Xuan saw that the porridge was finished. Thus, he took the initiative to reach out and scoop another spoonful for her.

“The two of us are only engaged on the surface. I’ve never thought about doing things in the name of the Huo family. If I do this, I’m afraid it will affect your real marriage in the future.” After a pause, Mo Zhu decided to tell the man about her point of view and understanding of this matter.

Huo Xuan’s fingers that were tapping on the table froze instantly. He looked at Mo Zhu in disbelief and said, “Xiao Zhu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would marry someone else other than you?”

Mo Zhu smiled indifferently and replied with a casual look, “If you have a girl you like in the future, you can tell me directly. On the account that you and Auntie have been taking good care of me for so long, I’m willing to take the initiative to call off the engagement. I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s calm words, Huo Xuan’s face instantly darkened, and the aura around him turned cold. “You are my fiancée, always. I, Huo Xuan, won’t have anyone else today, and I won’t in the future either. The Huo family only has one mistress, and that is you, Mo Zhu!”

Seeing that the girl was unmoved by his words, Huo Xuan continued, “Besides, you’ve already brought me to see your grandmother. How are you going to mention our breakup to her in the future? Can you bear to let her worry about your marriage at such an old age?”

After being reminded by Huo Xuan, Mo Zhu also thought of this. Her grandmother’s condition wasn’t stable now, and she didn’t know when the hospital’s special medicine’s supply would run out. She couldn’t let this small matter distract her!

Mo Zhu silently drank another bowl of porridge. Then, as if she had thought it through, she raised her head and looked at Huo Xuan. “Alright, then let’s not talk about this first. In that case, I’ll use the Huo family’s money to save the situation. However, if there’s any opportunities for me to earn money, you have to help me keep an eye on it. I might not be good at other aspects, but I’m still good at treating patients!”

As Fang Ran did not deliberately disturb them today, everything Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu did felt much better. After breakfast, they got into the car. The driver started the car and drove in the direction of Jingyang High School.

Mo Zhu specially wore a cap today because it would better block the light in school, which would make it easier for her to sleep in class.

It was very quiet in the car now. She pulled the brim of her hat gently and leaned lazily against the chair, prepared to take a nap before school.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mo Zhu bowed and said, “I was in too much of a hurry last night, I didn’t have the time to ask. How’s the handling of Xu Huan’s matter? When will he return to Cloud City?”

Huo Xuan retracted his arm that was placed by the car window slightly and replied casually, “Business has been negotiated. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to reach Cloud City in two days.”

Nodding in understanding, Mo Zhu did not continue speaking and closed her eyes to sleep quietly.

After Mo Zhu reached school, the morning passed quickly as the girl slept through everything brazenly.

When the bell signifying the end of school rang at noon, Meng Ran put away the junk on her desk and invited Mo Zhu to the canteen for lunch.

Meng Ran walked along the school’s side of the road and said, “Sister Mo, I didn’t expect that we would have to catch up on the lessons that were missed because of the exam today. Being in third year is too pitiful…”

After a pause, Meng Ran’s eyes lit up. “But when I went home last night, I heard from my mother that your mother-in-law is really classy. Boohoo, I envy you so much. Not only are you so outstanding, but you also have an in-law like the Huo family. Sister Mo, you’re so blessed!”

Mo Zhu looked at Meng Ran indifferently and stuck a hand in her pocket. “Blessed? Heh, do you want this blessing?”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Meng Ran’s expression changed. She immediately waved her hand and shook her head like a rattle-drum. “It’s alright, Sister Mo. I heard that the big and rich families always have some shady secrets. If I’m not careful, I’ll lose my life. I value my life very much!”

“Where did you hear such an unreliable thing? Don’t tell me it’s because you’ve read too many romance novels…” Mo Zhu rolled her eyes speechlessly and knocked Meng Ran’s head.
