Chapter 444: He Will Notice Them For Sure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why do I have to go to the Huo family’s house to celebrate New Year’s Eve?”
After asking the rhetorical question, Lin Shanchu continued, “You make it sound like you’re willing to go back to the Huo family’s house to celebrate New
Year’s Eve.”
Huo Zhuxiu treated Huo Chaosheng very well. However, judging trom the tact that Huo Chaosheng had lent her the car to hit Huo Zhuxiu, she could tell that he hated Huo Zhuxiu.
This was probably one of the reasons that Huo Chaosheng was willing to get close to Huo Xunzhou.
In Huo Chaosheng’s unusual mind, he probably felt that he and Huo Xunzhou were of the same kind and sympathized with each other because they both hated Huo Zhuxiu.
As for why Huo Chaosheng hated Huo Zhuxiu, Lin Shanchu guessed that it might have something to do with his unknown birth mother.
If the relationship between all the members of a family could not be mended, then there must be an unknown secret in that family.
“You’re so annoying!” Huo Chaosheng was a little annoyed that Lin Shanchu had touched a sore spot with him.
He usually loathed Huo Zhuxiu, so there was no way he would go back to the house to celebrate the festival with him.
However, he would be reluctantly willing to make a trip back home if Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu back to the Huo family’s house.
It was obvious that neither Huo Xunzhou nor Lin Shanchu would go to the Huo family’s house.
Lin Shanchu did not take him seriously as she said, “I’m hanging up.”
There was some movement in the bathroom. Yun Wu should have changed her clothes and was about to come out.
“Wait, you…” Huo Chaosheng hesitated for a long time before saying dejectedly, “Forget it, I’m hanging up.”
Lin Shanchu hung up the phone without saying anything.
Knowing her temperament, Huo Chaosheng hurriedly said before she hung up, ‘You owe me a meal! Remember that!” Beep!
The only response he got was a busy tone.
Huo Chaosheng threw his phone aside and fell backward, landing heavily on the sofa.
He had to spend New Year’s Eve alone again this year.
Just as Lin Shanchu hung up the phone, Yun Wu walked out of the bathroom.
“Shanshan, what do you think?”
Yun Wu straightened her clothes and ran up to Lin Shanchu before spinning around.
“Not bad,” Lin Shanchu praised as she sized Yun Wu up.
Yun Wu happily stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself for a while before returning to the bathroom to get changed.
Right after she walked into the bathroom, she turned around and poked her head out from the door to look at Lin Shanchu. “I’ll take this outfit then!”
Lin Shanchu pointed at the walk-in closet. “There are unpacked clothes in there. You can try them on if you like them. If they suit you, you can take them away.”
Yun Wu did not stand on ceremony with her, so she went to pick out the clothes after trying on the outfit earlier.
During this time, Lin Shanchu received a package.
The package was sent by the wristwatch brand owner from before.
She previously said that she wanted to give Yun Yi a wristwatch, so the brand owner generously sent her a product catalog for her to choose from.
Lin Shanchu choose a bunch of them without hesitation. She chose one for each member of the Yun family as New Year’s gift.
Some were limited edition, so the brand owner even specially transferred the goods from the head office.
All the wristwatches arrived today, so they were sent together to her.
When Yun Wu came out after trying on the clothes, Lin Shanchu was opening the gift box.
She leaned over curiously and asked, “So many wristwatches?”
“Don’t look,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile as she closed the box.
“There’s mine, isn’t there?” Yun Wu laughed.
As expected, she obediently stopped looking at the box and continued to try on the clothes.
After that, Lin Shanchu received a call from Qi Cheng, saying that he had received many gifts from brand owners and that he would find time to send them to her.
“Let’s talk about it after the New Year.” Huo Xunzhou would be coming to pick her up after work later. She would not be home for the next few days and had no time to unbox them, so they would be laid there after they were delivered. “Alright, we’ll talk about it after the New Year.”
Qi Cheng knew that Lin Shanchu was going to spend the New Year with Huo Xunzhou at the Yun family’s house, so he did not say anything else.
Huo Xunzhou got off work on time today because he had to rush back to the Yun family’s house.
When he reached home, Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were watching a movie in the living room.
Huo Xunzhou quietly walked behind them without disturbing them.
Lin Shanchu was the first to notice him.
“You’re back?”
Huo Xunzhou glanced at the luggage beside him and asked, “Have you packed your things?”
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu nodded.
Huo Xunzhou asked, “Are we leaving now or after the movie?”
He had seen the movie that Lin Shanchu and Yunwu were watching. It would end in twenty minutes.
“Yun Wu, we…”
Lin Shanchu turned around to ask for Yun Wu’s opinion, but she realized that Yun Wu, who was originally sitting beside her, had silently moved to the furthest corner of the sofa.
Yun Wu curled up in the corner of the sofa, looking as if she hoped that Huo Xunzhou did not see her.
Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and looked calmly at Yun Wu. “I won’t beat kids during the New Year.”
Yun Wu was speechless. Did that mean he could beat kids and settle score with her after the New Year?
Huo Xunzhou sounded serious even though he was obviously joking.
Lin Shanchu found it funny and laughed out loud.
She smiled and the atmosphere eased up.
Yun Wu moved back to Lin Shanchu’s side. “I’m fine with anything. Do you want to leave now, Sister-in-law? Or do you want to leave after watching the movie?”
She had long understood the reality that her sister-in-law was the most reliable lifesaver.
Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu had changed the way she addressed her to “Sister-in-law”.
“Let’s go now. It’s a little far. If we go back now, we can make it in time for dinner.”
“Great!”
After Yun Wu responded, she got up and went to get her luggage.
She came empty-handed, but in the afternoon, she tried on many clothes at Lin Shanchu’s place and packed a bagful of them.
Yun Wu carried the bag of clothes on her shoulder with her left hand and Lin Shanchu’s luggage with her right hand as she ran out of the house.
Number 1357, who happened to hear the commotion outside, walked out and witnessea tms scene.
“Yun Wu, I’ll help you carry them!”
How could her daughter let a petite girl like Yun Wu carry so many things?
Bang!
The response to Number 1357 was the slamming of the shut door.
Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and said, “Look at how you’ve scared Yun Wu. You better explain to her about the car accident as soon as possible.” Huo Xunzhou said confidently, “I didn’t scare her.”
She was speechless. It seemed that he was right.
Huo Xunzhou did not show any signs of anger or wanting to settle scores with
Yun wu.
Yun Wu was scared of Huo Xunzhou in the past, so she was so timid.
“Let’s go.” Huo Xunzhou held Lin Shanchu’s hand and walked out.
When he passed by Number 1357, he paused slightly and glanced at him.
After walking up to the door, Lin Shanchu turned around and reminded
Number 1357, “Remember what I said.”
“Alright.” Number 1357 hurriedly nodded, expressing his determination to be obedient.
However, Lin Shanchu had a strange intuition.
She felt that Number 1357 would go out and cause trouble.
However, she did not know what he was up to.
Lin Shanchu looked intently at him before turning to leave with Huo Xunzhou.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Xunzhou asked her as they entered the elevator. He noticed the way Lin Shanchu looked at Number 1357 earlier.
I think Number 1357 is weird.”
“Do you want me to get someone to stalk him?”
Lin Shanchu thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head. “If you get someone to stalk him, he will notice them for sure..”
