Chapter 74 - 74: Third Brother Is In Need Of A Beating

"I'll definitely pass. Just you wait! I'm going to go study now!" Huo Qingyuan suddenly exclaimed on the staircase.

Huo Zihang glared at her and thought, 'How dare this wretched girl eavesdrop!'

Yan Jinyi suddenly felt that Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan were pretty cute.

…

Knowing that Yan Jinyi would go to the film set bright early in the morning, both Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan got out of bed before daybreak.

She seemed to value the film greatly as she rarely went home to sleep in the past few days. They didn't know when they would see her again after she left this time.

Huo Qingyuan pulled the door of the room open and happened to see Huo Zihang walking out. They exchanged glances for a while before speaking up at the same time.

"The sun must have risen from the West today. Why are you up so early?"

"Third Brother, don't you get irritable whenever you wake up in the morning? Why did you get up so early?"

After saying that, the two subconsciously looked towards Yan Jinyi's room, which was at the end of the corridor. They then tacitly headed downstairs.

It was all for the sake of seeing Yan Jinyi "for the last time"!

In the end, as soon as they reached the first floor, they saw Yan Jinyi seated in front of the dining table and sipping on some fruit juice gracefully, her mannerisms exuding an inexplicable nobility. No one would have thought that she could be so violent and rough.

At the sight of the both of them, Yan Jinyi remarked, raising her brows in surprise, "You're up so early."

Huo Zihang calmly walked over and sat down. "The meeting is going to be held in the morning today, so I have to be there early."

Huo Qingyuan deliberately opened the online learning app and listened to English while drinking some fruit juice. "I want to study!"

Huo Zihang began to find his sister an eyesore.

Yan Jinyi was already done with her breakfast. She wiped the corners of her mouth and suddenly remembered something which spurred her to instruct the maid to bring the feather duster to her.

Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan froze when they saw her grabbing the feather duster.

Huo Zihang, in particular, had his hair stand on end.

'What is Yan Jinyi trying to do?'

'Is she ready to commit an act of violence bright early in the morning?"

"Huo Zihang."

Huo Zihang became even more nervous after suddenly having his name called.

Huo Qingyuan looked at him and couldn't help but feel an urge to applaud.

'Serves you right for badmouthing me behind my back!'

'This jerk deserves a beating.'

'He needs to be taught a lesson!'

"Huo Zihang."

Yan Jinyi called again when she saw that Huo Zihang didn't move.

Huo Zihang shivered continuously and asked, "What... what's the matter?"

"Don't you want a belated birthday gift from me?"

Huo Zihang looked at the feather duster in her hand and tried to make himself smile. "Anyway, it's over. In fact, you can just give it to me next year..."

"This feather duster has been through some things with you. I shall give it to you as a gift. Happy birthday."

???

'She's giving me a feather duster as a gift?'

Huo Zihang was dumbfounded.

With raised brows, Yan Jinyi asked, "Why? Do you dislike it?'

"No, no, no!" Huo Zihang grabbed the feather duster and nodded at her solemnly. "Second Sister-in-law, thank you for your gift!"

'Gee...'

'It's just a feather duster, what's the point?'

'When I pass all my exams, Second Sister-in-law will definitely give me a better gift!'

Yan Jinyi was indeed very busy, so she picked up her bag and hurried to the film set without further delay.

Looking at Huo Zihang with disdain, Huo Qingyuan said, "Third Brother, must you be such a wimp?"

Huo Zihang sulked and thought, 'Huo Qingyuan called me a wimp?'

"Huo Qingyuan, you..."

"As a member of the Huo Family, I must be very smart since Big Brother and Second Brother are so intelligent. Do you really think everyone is like you? I'll hire a tutor now!"

Huo Zihang watched Huo Qingyuan leave in confusion.

'Why is Huo Qingyuan so feisty?'

'Forget it.'

"Uncle Zhang, go to an auction and get me the most beautiful and exquisite vase that matches my bearing!"

'I must put away the feather duster that Yan Jinyi gave me properly!'
