Chapter 159: Bad Intentions

After instructing Mo Jiu to stay in the Huo residence to take care of Old Master Huo, Huo Xuan brought Mo Zhu out of the Huo residence and prepared to find a hotel to have a simple meal.

Just as the two of them reached the door, a ringtone suddenly sounded. Huo Xuan took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it. He looked up at Mo Zhu and said, “Wait here for me for two minutes. I’ll take this call.”

Mo Zhu nodded and took out her phone to play as well.

At this moment, a car horn suddenly came from behind. The car door was opened from the inside and a woman walked forward with a bag.

“Where’s Xuan’er?” It was Huo Qing. She knew that Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu hadn’t left the house and had been waiting for them at the entrance of the Huo residence for a long time.

Mo Zhu did not have a good impression of this woman either. When she heard Huo Qing’s question, she raised her eyebrows and did not plan to answer.

Seeing Mo Zhu’s cold attitude, Huo Qing’s hands were on her waist and was about to flare up at Mo Zhu when Huo Xuan finished his call and walked over.

“Why haven’t you left although it’s already so late? Is there something you haven’t finished with?” Huo Xuan’s tone was cold, and he sounded a little unhappy.

Huo Qing turned his head and saw that the one who replied was Huo Xuan. With a smile on her face, she no longer bothered about Mo Zhu and said obsequiously, “Xuan’er, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I have specially waited at the door for you as I want to treat you to a meal tonight.”

“Sure, thank you for the gesture.” Huo Xuan curled his lips mockingly. Of course, he didn’t believe that this aunt of his who harbored ill intentions only wanted to treat him to a meal. However, he would just have to deal with whatever came his way. He wanted to take this opportunity to find out what role this aunt of his had played tonight.

Mo Zhu didn’t say much about Huo Xuan’s decision. She obediently got into the car and arrived at a luxurious hotel with Huo Xuan.

This store was decorated very luxuriously. Just from the outside, it looked very high-profile.

The moment the car stopped, Huo Xuan habitually opened the door for Mo Zhu. Just as the waiter took the key and was about to park the car, Huo Xuan’s phone rang at an inopportune time.

Huo Xuan lowered his head and looked at the caller ID on the screen. He then looked at Mo Zhu and said, “Follow Huo Qing to the private room first. I’ll come after taking a call.”

Mo Zhu did not say much either. She acknowledged him softly and looked for Huo Qing’s car. Seeing the woman and Kang Ying get out of the car together, she raised her eyebrows with interest.

Kang Ying didn’t see Huo Xuan after getting out of the car. She angrily held Huo Qing’s arm and walked to Mo Zhu’s side. She glared at her and asked, “Where’s Brother Xuan?”

Mo Zhu looked up at Kang Ying and answered disdainfully, “He went to pick up the call.”

“Hmph.” Kang Ying found Mo Zhu’s arrogant appearance very displeasing. She stomped her feet and turned around.

Seeing that Huo Xuan wasn’t around, Huo Qing understood her niece’s temper. She was afraid that she would argue with Mo Zhu in public, so Huo Qing grabbed Kang Ying’s hand and turned to instruct Mo Zhu, “Follow us then. We’ll go to the private room first.”

Mo Zhu nodded to indicate that she had heard her as she tapped her phone in boredom.

Huo Qing stopped talking and pulled Kang Ying along as she quickened her steps towards the entrance of the hotel.
