Chapter 177: Foiling Huo Tingrui’s Plans
The plane landed slightly after 9:00 pm.
They had to make a transfer at City B on their way home from City M. It had been a ten hour long flight. Huo Tingrui was completely exhausted.
But his sister was waiting for him, so the moment he got off the plane, he quickly moved ahead, leaving Huo Xiang and Tong Yu in the dust.
Tong Yu looked at Huo Tingrui’s receding back and the adrenalin rush he was showing. He was secretly impressed by his stamina.
After telling Huo Xiang to hurry up, Tong Yu chased behind Huo Tingrui and said, “Tingrui, wait up.”
However, Huo Tingrui showed no signs of slowing down when he heard Tong Yu and picked up his pace instead.
Tong Yu was flabbergasted. He turned to ask Huo Xiang softly. “Do you find anything bizarre about Tingrui’s behaviour?”
Huo Xiang raised his head to look at his second older brother with a complicated look in his eyes.
Huo Tingrui was acting beyond weird and Huo Xiang thought as though his brother was on a roller coaster ride.
An inexplicable murderous vibe kept floating from Huo Tingrui.
“Maybe he’s anxious to go home,” said Huo Xiang calmly after some time.
Tong Yu looked at Huo Tingrui who was certainly charging full steam ahead. Perhaps his biological brother knew better?
But the anxious Huo Tingrui slowed down soon and asked them when they caught up. “Xiang, are you leaving through the VIP lane?”
He purposely did not tell Huo Xiang that their little sister was here to pick them up.
Huo Xiang looked at him and was about to tell him that it was alright for him to take the ordinary lane since his fans did not know his schedule.
But Huo Tingrui’s voice swiftly arose again. He said, “I’ll see you at home. I don’t want your fans to spot you because of me.” Huo Tingrui adjusted his spectacles and showed consideration towards Huo Xiang.
Tong Yu smiled and interrupted him. “Tingrui, you can take the VIP channel with us.”
Huo Tingrui choked on his words. He had been so focused on sending Huo Xiang on his way that he overlooked this vulnerability.
He miscalculated!
Huo Tingrui did not want to take the VIP exit. After all, his little sister was waiting at the arrival hall. But he was not keen on leaving through the ordinary lane with Huo Xiang, either.
He cleared his throat and waved to Tong Yu. “It’s fine. There’s no need to go through the trouble...”
“It’s no trouble. It will save you half the time if you take the VIP exit,” interrupted Tong Yu.
Huo Tingrui, “!!!”
Was Tong Yu a professional saboteur?
(???)
Tong Yu paused and added further. “Also, our company car is already waiting at the parking lot.”
Fury seethed from Huo Tingrui’s eyes from behind his spectacles the moment he heard Tong Yu!
AHHHH! He should have just gotten rid of them earlier. Why did he shoot himself in the foot?!
Huo Tingrui inhaled deeply. Despite getting obstructed yet again, he kept a straight face and replied. “No thanks. My driver is waiting for me outside.”
His driver, Huo Yao was waiting at the arrival hall!!
A look of understanding swept across Tong Yu’s face and he stopped convincing Huo Tingrui to take the VIP lane.
Tong Yu looked at Huo Xiang and said, “Why don’t you go straight home with Tingrui? Since your fans don’t know about your schedule, I don’t think anyone will recognize you dressed like this if you take the ordinary lane.”
Huo Tingrui, “!!!”
Heavens! How could this keep happening to him???
