"Try calling later . You should rest!"
Huo Zhenning waved tiredly . He was exhausted .
Xue Yuming walked with him toward their bedroom, but they met Huo Yunting again on the second floor .
He was standing by the stairs, smoking a cigarette .
"Yunting, do you have any idea where they are?" Xue Yuming asked after some hesitation .
The man was close to Huo Chen since childhoods . Perhaps he knew where they were right now .
"Hah…"
Huo Yunting chuckled coldly and took another puff of his cigarette .
Xue Yuming had always been afraid of Huo Yunting and behaved carefully around him . She knew that he was a capable man, having founded Thunderbolt Corp and propelled it to immense success in a relatively short time .
His ways…
She had no interest in experiencing them .
"Yunting, you should tell us if you know anything . This scandal is difficult for all of us!" Huo Zhenning could not help but felt worked up by his son's carefree attitude .
"Difficult? How difficult? Compared to you two, which situation is more difficult?" His lips curled into a smile as he studied them with cold, menacing eyes . "You should consider your own position first before speaking bad about others . "
"Huo Yunting!" Huo Zhenning raised his voice . "What's with your attitude? We are talking about your uncle!"
"Lower your voice . Grandma had just fallen asleep . You wouldn't want to wake her up just to listen to your love story, right? Look into the mirror before you judge other people . "
Huo Yunting tossed away his cigarette and turned to leave for his bedroom .
Huo Zhenning and his wife felt exasperated but could do nothing about him .
"Don't worry, husband . Yang Yang will come back . I will try contacting her again tomorrow . "
Xue Yuming nudged her husband . They should be getting a move soon and not continue standing by the stairs .
Huo Yunting had entered his own room, so Huo Zhenning looked away from his son and left without a word .
After all the hoohah, the Huo family did not sleep well that night, especially Xue Yuming .
She dreamed of Lu Zhaoyang waving goodbye at her, saying that she could no longer stay by her side .
She woke up from the nightmare and could not fall asleep again for the rest of the night .
Xue Yuming felt tired and distracted the next day . She was ignored by old Mrs Huo when she greeted her . Even the servants began to show disrespect for her .
The old missus was the most respected figure in the family .
If the old lady continued to treat her so coldly, the rest would not treat her any better .
Huo Yunting stayed by his grandmother's side and even took her for a walk after breakfast . Huo Zhenning was nowhere to be seen .
That left Xue Yuming sitting alone on the living room's sofa, continuing to call Lu Zhaoyang's phone .
She hoped that Lu Zhaoyang would pick up her call soon and come back to her . She must not be dragged down by this scandal!
The call never connected . She ran out of patience . If she could not reach her daughter, then she would not be able to survive for long in the Huo family .
The old missus would keep her word and chase her out of the house .
Xue Yuming did not want to leave Huo Zhenning and the luxurious life here!
…
On the other side of the planet, in faraway France, Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen were completely oblivious about the fact that their escape had been discovered .
