On this side.
Huo Jinyan noticed that the old man seemed tired and thought it was probably due to his old age, so he did not continue chatting. Instead, he told his daughter to take him to the second floor’s guest room.
Huo Jinyan did not go upstairs with them, so Huo Yao closed the guest room door after the two of them entered.
The old man was still feeling sore that his tea was given away when he heard the door lock from behind him. He turned around immediately and looked at Huo Yao warily. “Why did you lock the door?”
Huo Yao folded her arms across her chest and looked at the old man coldly. “Old Man, I will give you another chance to come clean.”
Her voice was soft and sounded intimidating.
The old man did not expect such confidence to ooze out from a young lady. She was clearly quite different from the information he had received about her. He tossed the tea incident to the back of his head and slowly walked up to a chair. He sat down before he said, “Come clean about what?”
Huo Yao pulled a chair over with her leg and sat down as well. She suddenly said patiently, “Who are you? Why did you come looking for me?”
“I’m just a lonely old man who needs someone to take care of me. I picked you because you’re pretty and nice,” said the old man straightforwardly this time.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. “Do you think I will buy that?”
“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. I am just a helpless old man. If you want to hit me, then be my guest.” The old man shrugged indifferently.
Huo Yao looked at the old man expressionlessly. Even though she knew he was pretending, she could not do much about it.
Huo Yao’s stare left the old man’s scalp somewhat numb. He knew he should not go overboard, so he cleared his throat and said, “Why do you have such a bad temper? It’s not like I’m going to do anything bad. I just need a place to stay for a while.”
“Do people usually ask for help this way?” Huo Yao smiled.
He had blackmailed her and conned his way into her home.
No one would believe him to be capable of this by looking at him.
The old man sneered, “Isn’t it all your fault? If you were a little kinder to me, I wouldn’t have come here.”
The moment he recalled how he ended up eating instant noodles last night, he felt angry!
Huo Yao looked at him coldly. “Give it up already.”
The old man touched his nose before he stood up with the help of his walking stick and headed to the bed. “I don’t mean any harm and will leave in a few days. In the meantime, just think of me as a homeless old man who needs some help.”
He sat down on the bed and shrugged open the blanket. He muttered softly without looking at Huo Yao. “We might even end up being family.”
Despite her bad temper, fierce personality, and no respect for the elderly, she was pretty.
She was pretty and had an upright personality. Well, he simply liked good-looking kids.
“Enough. I’m going to bed. Old people can’t stay up late.” The old man yawned before he turned sideways on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep with his back facing Huo Yao.
Huo Yao went quiet.
Be it now or in the past, she hated old geezers.
Huo Yao inhaled deeply before she stood up and left the room.
After the door clicked shut, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and cunningly smiled. She had finally let him stay here!
