Chapter 129 - He Had Figured Out Everything About Her
The women shuddered at the possibility. No, it’s impossible…
If there was a problem with the sexual orientation of their beloved son and younger brother, the Huo family legacy would be doomed.
Huo Yunshen agreed to stay for the weekend. Xu Xiyan received a call from the film crew, telling her to report to the set in the afternoon because they were going to shoot extra scenes for Xu Xinrou.
“Come, Ye Xun. I’ll escort you out.”
Huo Yunshen turned his wheelchair around to leave. Xu Xiyan smiled and waved goodbye to the women before catching up with Huo Yunshen.
On the way out, Xu Xiyan helped Huo Yunshen push his wheelchair. Huo Yunshen whispered to her, “You’re so good at the violin. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xu Xiyan replied with a smile, “Well, you never asked!”
“Okay, okay,” Huo Yunshen turned his head and looked up at her, asking, “Tell me, what else don’t I know about you?”
Xu Xiyan thought for a moment. It seemed the only thing that he did not know was Ying Bao being his daughter.
But it was still obviously not the right time to tell him now, so she shook her head, “Nothing! You’ve figured out everything about me. How could I have any more secrets?”
“…” Huo Yunshen looked at her blankly. Since when had he figured out everything about her?
He seemed to have never really understood her completely.
For example, where had she gone abroad for five years?
How did she survive?
He couldn’t know it all.
Huo Yunshen was silent. Xu Xiyan decided to explain. “Well, let me tell you how I learned to play the violin. My mother used to be a violinist. When I was very young, I grew up surrounded by her music. Then when I was a little older, she taught me to play. You could say that my mother was my rudimentary music teacher and inspired me to learn music.”
“Your mother was a violinist?”
Huo Yunshen was reminded of Xu Jinshan’s wife, Su Rui. He had heard that she was very proficient in playing mahjong, and not the violin.
“Yeah. Have you heard of the name Jing Ruyue before?”
“Jing Ruyue?” Huo Yunshen’s dark eyes suddenly lit up. Every musician would know about a brilliant violinist in the music industry about twenty or thirty years ago, named Jing Ruyue.
Huo Yunshen really had not expected that Xu Xiyan was the daughter of Jing Ruyue. “Don’t tell me, your mother is Jing Ruyue?”
“Yes. If not her, who else?” Xu Xiyan’s lips curled into a beautiful smile.
Huo Yunshen was very surprised. “If your mother is Jing Ruyue, why did your father tell me that your mother is Su Rui and Xu Xinrou is your sister?”
Oh…no wonder Huo Yunshen was taking special care of the Xu family.
That bastard Xu Jinshan had actually made up such lies to deceive Huo Yunshen.
Xu Xiyan couldn’t explain the complicated matters of the Xu family to him yet. She lowered her eyes and briefly explained, “He lied because he didn’t want to mention my mother to outsiders. He thinks my mother brought shame to his life.”
Huo Yunshen knew a little about Jing Ruyue. When her career in music was gaining momentum, she suddenly gave up music and joined the entertainment industry.
He also knew that she was to be awarded best actress, but a series of ill rumors had broken out on the eve of the awards night and she committed suicide.
That piece of history was a shame in the eyes of outsiders. It was understandable that Xu Jinshan had his own reasons for hiding it.
Xu Xiyan looked down, her face dark. Huo Yunshen suspected that he must’ve accidentally brought out her sad past, and immediately comforted her. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked so much. Are you okay?”
