Chapter 34: Shameless Father (2)
It’s been there for 20 years . Had it been developed five years earlier, Old Master Huo would already have doubled his profits . ” Lu Boyang lowered his voice . “I heard that there is something in Luming Mountain . Did he never think about digging it up?”
Huo Suicheng asked without moving a muscle, “Who did you hear that from?”
Jiang Zhi struck up a conversation . “Who doesn’t know there’s something in Luming Mountain? It’s just that your old man has covered it so much that no one could do anything about it even if they wanted . Seriously, you should know how hot this mountain has been in recent years . Don’t you feel moved?”
Huo Suicheng turned silent for a moment .
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t been tempted . He had once tested the waters, but the old man didn’t pay him any heed . He was not interested in the profits .
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Huo Suicheng’s silence, Lu Boyang smiled . “Uncle Huo is also a resolute businessman; he shouldn’t be that fussy, right?”
Huo Suicheng shook his head . “It’s not easy . ”

“Think about it, it’s not a scenic reserve . The government also has the idea of developing it . It’s a waste to throw such a big mountain there . ”
As soon as the voice fell, Huo Xiaoxiao walked over from the screen with the tablet and handed it to Huo Suicheng . “It’s dark . ”
She was nestled on the sofa, watching shows, but then the battery ran out . For a while, she couldn’t find the charger, so she had to come to Huo Suicheng for help .
But as soon as she reached Huo Suicheng’s side, she felt one, two, three, four pairs of eyes brush down on her, their gazes profound .
Lu Boyang even said inexplicably, “Isn’t this the way?”
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Boyang with question marks .
Lu Boyang threw his cards . “No more playing . ” Then he got up and picked her up, regardless of Huo Xiaoxiao’s struggle . “Is the baby hungry? How about this brother take you to dinner?”
The other three at the table looked at each other and got up to follow .

The dining place was next door . The private room was like a themed suite, with small bridges and flowing water outside, poetic and picturesque inside . The delicate, elegant, and light classical style was distinct, and even the food was stylish .
Huo Xiaoxiao’s baby seat was arranged among several people, and a large table was specially set up for her . Feeling the sudden attentiveness, Huo Xiao was creeped out .
It was impossible to poison her, because she was a child . What else could they do to her?
Thinking that it was a false alarm, Huo Xiaoxiao, who was hungry, concentrated on eating and sweeping the meal .
The meal was soothing . She wiped the oil from her small mouth, patted the bulging belly, and felt full .
Lu Boyang wiped her mouth clean and smiled . “Is it delicious, little baby?”
“Delicious!”
“Look, your dad takes you out to play and eats delicious food; do you want to listen to your dad?”

Huo Xiaoxiao nodded hesitantly .
“That’s a good girl . ” Lu Boyang praised while touching her little head .
Huo Xiaoxiao looked up at Lu Boyang unclearly, as if he was up to no good . She ignored him and asked Huo Suicheng, “Dad, when… go?”
Looking at the time, Huo Suicheng said, “Later . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao watched the clock go round and round . She lay on the sofa, almost asleep, and vaguely heard Huo Suicheng speaking in a low voice .
“… I’ll come back later… Xiaoxiao still wants to play for a while… Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao woke up confused, staring blankly at Huo Suicheng, who had hung up the phone in front of her . What she had just heard was not very memorable .
“Dad, are we… going home?”
“Go back to sleep, good girl . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and lay down to sleep .
When she woke up again, she was already on her way back . After falling asleep for two hours, Huo Xiaoxiao was in good spirits . She got up and looked out the window .
The Bentley slowly drove into the entrance of Huo Mansion .
As soon as she entered the gate, she found the whole courtyard illuminated . The hall was exceptionally bright .
Old Master Huo was sitting on the sofa in the hall with his cane . His eyebrows were scrunched together, and he gazed at the father and daughter entering from the door .
The father and daughter felt the unusual atmosphere at the same time .
Huo Suicheng held Huo Xiaoxiao and whispered, “Do you want to go out to play next time?”
