Chapter 411: Other Than Her Grandmother, Other Old Geezers Were Nothing But Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yao turned to look at her second older brother sympathetically. He was so pitiful.
He did not have a girlfriend to begin with, and now even their parents hated him.
Huo Tingrui’s expressions turned worse the instant he detected his little sister staring at him.
“Yao, what’s with that expression of yours? Are you laughing at me?”
Huo Yao was randomly attacked despite doing nothing. She quietly lowered her eyes and said obediently, “Mom and Dad are right. Brother Tingrui won’t be able to find a partner if he doesn’t go for matchmaking.”
Huo Tingrui felt sad for the third time and compressed his lips.
“See? Even your sister agrees. It’s settled then, you are going for matchmaking on Saturday. If you don’t go for it, you can forget about ever entering this house,” said Song Ning decisively.
Huo Tingrui went speechless.
“…”
He was certain that his parents and little sister wanted to enjoy life without him, so they kept making excuses to drive him away.
All three of them were monsters.

Huo Yao finished her bun before wiping her hands with a piece of tissue. She stood up and patted Huo Tingrui on the shoulder. “Brother Tingrui, good luck! I hope you can find a sister-in-law for me soon.”
Huo Tingrui’s mouth remained shut.
“…”
Huo Yao picked up her bag happily and left through the door with her father before long.
Halfway to school, Huo Yao recalled that her phone was still charging and she had forgotten it at home.
Since she did not have time to go back for it, she simply told her father in case he could not reach her.

Her first period was English. Halfway through the lesson, the Dean came into the classroom and asked Huo Yao to go to the office.
“Huo Yao, can you tell me in detail what happened with the old man?” asked the Dean in a kind tone.
Huo Yao had an inkling that the Dean wanted to talk about the scammer when he asked to see her. Hence, she patiently explained that she was a victim of blackmail and had not hurt the man at all.
A sad look appeared on the Dean’s face. “Huo Yao, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but the old man called the school and demanded an explanation. He has threatened to lodge a complaint with the Education Bureau.”
Huo Yao had just made their school proud. If the old man lodged a complaint to the Education Bureau, would her name not end up getting smeared?
The gravity of such situations varied, just like the public opinion about it. Sometimes, a lot of damage could be inflicted when it became a question of morality.
“Since that area didn’t have any cameras, it’s tough for us to prove your innocence.” The Dean scratched his already balding head.
Huo Yao inhaled and tried to suppress her temper. “What else did the old man say?”
“He said he kept calling you, but you were unreachable. He asked if you were going to take care of the consequences of the accident.” The Dean briefly summarized his conversation with the old man for Huo Yao.
Huo Yao remained expressionlessly and only said, “I left my phone at home today.”
She was wondering how her phone died this morning when it had so much battery last night. The old man must have rung her until her battery died.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead and felt annoyed.
Sure enough, other than her grandmother, all the other old geezers were nothing but trouble.
The Dean glanced at Huo Yao and said, “How about this? I will visit the hospital with you now and explain things to the old man.”
