Chapter 214: Defending Her II
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Yunting poured some wine and gave the glass a little swirl. He was defending Lu Zhaoyang despite how annoyed he was.
“That may be if it was a few years ago, but now? Given the situation, I can’t believe they actually eloped! How disrespectful of them to me!”
Old grandma’s voice went louder and louder as though she was actually yelling at Huo Chen in person.
As though the man Lu Zhaoyang eloped with was Huo Yunting.
“Who would dare to be disrespectful to you? I’ll drag them home for you, don’t worry, alright?”
He put down his glass without drinking even one sip and headed out.
“Mind your health and don’t be so worked up, I’m going to you right now. Have a good rest tonight and I’ll be there to see you tomorrow morning.”
He spoke to his grandmother like he was soothing a child.
“You must find them! If word gets out that mother and daughter are related to two brothers in this way, the Huo family will lose our standing in society. We never had anything so embarrassing happen in our family!”
Old Mrs Huo felt calmer after talking to Huo Yunting. She was confident that he would find them, it was only a matter of time.
“Don’t be angry, grandma, take a deep breath...” Huo Yunting consoled her.
“I know. See you soon!”
She ended the call and looked coldly at Xue Yuming, who was still trying on her phone.
Xue Yuming was panicking as she could not get through to Lu Zhaoyang.
The longer she waited, the more nervous she got.
The tension in the living room was palpable.
Only Mo Shan, sitting next to old Mrs Huo, was happily celebrating inside.
“Shan, it’s getting late. I’ll have a car send you home. Please keep this secret for now.” Huo Zhenning spoke up.
Given the embarrassing news they had just received, they should keep outsiders in the house to a minimum.
Mo Shan knew that she must leave when she heard that Huo Yunting was coming back. He would figure out that it was her doing if he saw her here.
While she had a ready excuse for herself, it was best to delay the conflict.
“Thank you, uncle.”
She nodded politely, offered a few comforting words to the old missus, and then left the Huo family.
...
When the call ended, Huo Yunting left straight for the airport and phoned Huo Li on the way.
“Find out who’s responsible for exposing the matter of Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen to the Huo family!”
“D*mn, that happened? Someone’s feeling bold and stupid! Don’t you worry, I’ll get onto it right away. So, err, Brother Ting, what are you...”
“I’m going to the airport, flying back to the capital.”
“Alright. I’ll let you know the culprit by the time you land. Safe flight!”
Huo Yunting ended the call and stepped harder on the accelerator.
He had not been home for a long time, but he did not expect to return under such circumstances.
At the moment, the Huo family mansion was still as bright as day. With the masters of the house still awake, none of the servants dared to rest early.
Xue Yuming was still trying to get Lu Zhaoyang on the phone but to no avail.
When Huo Yunting stepped into the living room, he saw all of them just sitting there, simmering quietly in anger.
“Grandma, didn’t I tell you to go to sleep first? You’re not that young anymore.”
It was close to daytime, but the fact that she was still awake meant that she must be extremely furious.
Now that Huo Yunting was back, the old grandmother erupted again.
