Chapter 58 - The Only Girl That He’s Close To
Huo Sanyan slammed the front page of the entertainment newspaper in front of Huo Yunshen and pointed at the back of the unidentified girl..
“You better come clean. Who is thisl?”
Huo Sanyan wasn’t just there for the gossip. She was actually worried about Huo Yunshen’s life and future.
Since the accident five years ago, the people who cared about him had to watch him suffer and fall into despair. They did offer him their assistance, but none of them had truly succeeded.
Now that Huo Yunshen had finally escaped his past and begun a new life, his family was happy for him. They were delighted to hear that he might’ve found someone he cared for, and hoped that the news was real. They wanted him to have someone who would stay by his side forever.
They didn’t really mind who the person was or where she came from, as long as she was willing to stay by his side without discrimination. She would be the benefactor of the Huo family.
“What do you mean?” Huo Yunshen wanted to change the topic. Even though this sister of his had quit being an entertainment reporter some time ago, she was still just as interested in gossip.
“As the director of Yunhai Entertainment’s Public Relations department, aren’t you supposed to be taking care of this problem? What are you doing gossiping around here?”
“Hey, everyone likes some good gossip, you know. And it’s not every day you get to hear some love interest gossips about yourself. I think we should have more of those! Dad, mom, and your sisters, including me, were praying like crazy for you to enter a good relationship with someone.
“…” Huo Yunshen began to wonder if the sister in front of him was adopted or something.
As Huo Yunshen remained quiet, Huo Sanyan continued.
“Try to think harder. Did you had a one night stand with anyone before?”
“What are you implying?”.
“Well, maybe you have an illegitimate child somewhere that we don’t know of. That would mean that the Huo family will finally have an heir. Mum and dad would love to see that.”
Huo Sanyan rubbed her hand, her eyes wide open.
“But seriously, was there ever any girl that you were close to?”
“Nope. You know that I have heterophobia.”
But the fact was he used to be quite close with Tang Shixue when he was in Mstan. Now, the only girl that was really close to him was Xu Xiyan.
Yet Huo Yunshen sincerely believed that now wasn’t the right time to introduce Xu Xiyan into the picture.
Their relationship hadn’t even truly begun yet. If Xu Xiyan was pressured by his family, she could just get intimidated and leave.
“Don’t you dare try to use that. Your “heterophobia” excuse might’ve convinced mum, dad, and the other more gullible sisters, but definitely not me. Do you really think I’m that stupid?”
Huo Sanyan raised her eyebrows. She had already heard from Tang Yichen that her brother made up the heterophobia issue to prevent the family from introducing different him to so many different women.
Huo Yunshen sighed and looked at his sister. “I’m telling you the truth. I don’t even know who the girl in the picture is. You used to be an entertainment reporter yourself; can’t you see that this girl was just trying to use the situation to gain fame?”
Huo Sanyan studied the picture in the paper again.
Now that he mentions it, it really does seem that way…
Since Huo Yunshen had denied the scandal himself, Huo Sanyan stopped pressuring her brother and sighed.
“Why does it have to be fake news? If you’d found your true love, mum, dad, and our sisters might stop pressuring me to find someone for myself…”
“Sister Sanyan, are you really worried about my future or are you just trying to stop mom and dad urging you to get married?”
The smart Huo Yunshen had caught on quickly.
The third sister of his was a celibatarian. Even if she was already in her 30’s, she had yet to find a partner. Though she didn’t pay much attention to it, her families were anxious about it.
After having her true intentions exposed, Huo Sanyan laughed awkwardly. She took Huo Yunshen’s hand…
