Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Caring About Her~

The words immediately made Mrs. Huo uncomfortable, as if implying her eldest grandson was an irresponsible cad after a fling.

Mrs. Huo snorted heavily and said, "If you really thought that way, why shamelessly have your sister do you this favor?"

An Baoying flushed red.

Mrs. Huo continued, "I heard you can embroider too. If you’re trying to curry favor with this old woman, why not do it yourself? You move your lips, make An Ge burn the midnight oil embroidering, and you get all the benefits while she gets nothing but exhaustion?"

An Baoying replied, "I was going to do it myself, but my sister, An Ge, said my embroidery skills weren’t as good as hers and she was afraid that you wouldn’t like the result, so..."

As she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at An Ge, who was quietly eating dumplings.

Especially Huo Shaoyan, sitting across from her, staring as if to bore holes into her.

An Ge really wanted to slap An Baoying to reveal her true colors.

She helped her out of kindness, yet she was stabbed in the back.

Clearing her throat lightly, An Ge said, "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have meddled with ideas for my elder sister. How about this..." She paused and looked at An Baoying, "Elder sister, why don’t you embroider a pillowcase for Grandma?"

An Ge knew An Baoying could barely thread a needle, and since An Baoying dared to undermine her, she wouldn’t hesitate to dig her a pit in plain sight.

Sure enough, hearing these words, cold sweat broke out on An Baoying’s forehead.

She couldn’t embroider at all, so she stalled, saying, "I... I’ve been having severe pregnancy sickness lately, and my eyes aren’t feeling well, so it’ll be a while..."

Huo Shaoyan, who had been watching coldly, interrupted her sharply, "Then take your time."

For some reason, he couldn’t let go of what happened in the cellar the month before, even though An Baoying was proven to be pregnant.

"Once it’s finished, let me see it first. If I’m satisfied, then you can give it to the old lady."

Since Huo Shaoyan made it clear, An Baoying had no choice but to agree.

At the end of the meal, Mrs. Huo said to Huo Shaoyan, "I’d like to invite your mother to the West Garden for a meal..."

"Impossible. My mom swore she wouldn’t take a step into the Huo Family’s doors in this life."

Mrs. Huo replied, "Then... can I arrange it outside? Meeting outside should be okay, right?"

Huo Shaoyan said, "We’ll see."

The promise to "see" meant nothing would come of it.

Mrs. Huo was furious, but Huo Shaoyan had already left, with An Baoying following behind, while An Ge lingered.

She found the osmanthus cake very tasty and wanted a couple more slices.

While Mrs. Huo couldn’t handle her eldest grandson’s stubbornness, she thought she could win over An Ge.

With this in mind, Mrs. Huo focused her strategy on An Ge.

"Girl, I heard Fu Rou looked for you last night?"

Fu Rou was the name of Huo Shaoyan’s mother.

After An Ge confessed everything to Mrs. Huo, she asked, "You... are?"

Mrs. Huo said, "Girl, I’m old, and my mind isn’t as sharp as you youngsters with your clever ideas. Can you help Grandma come up with a way to meet Fu Rou?"

An Ge wasn’t very aware of the past with Huo Shaoyan’s mother and was worried about agreeing rashly and causing trouble.

Thinking of this, she asked, "What is it that you want to see her for?"

Mrs. Huo sighed and said, "Our Huo Family owes her, and I’d like to apologize. But Huo Zhenwei, the bastard, broke her heart so she cut off all contact with us. Oh, in my lifetime, the people I’ve wronged can be counted on one hand. Fu Rou is one of them..."

An Ge could see Mrs. Huo was very concerned about this matter. She was unwilling to refuse but didn’t dare agree lightly.

So she said, "I... I’ll try my best."

Mrs. Huo was pleased, "Good girl. You are a blessing to our Huo Family." After a pause, she asked, "Did you eat the supplements I sent you?"

An Ge hadn’t heard about these, but quickly guessed they were likely intercepted by Huo Shaoyan, and said, "I did. Look, my complexion has improved."

After chatting for a while longer, Huo Shaoyan’s call came in.

"Five minutes."

An Ge was speechless.

An Ge managed to appear before Huo Shaoyan at four minutes and fifty-nine seconds, panting, and said, "Young Master Huo, what do you need from me?" Was the Huo Group going bankrupt? How did this dog of a man still not go to work?

Huo Shaoyan succinctly stated, "The Second Madam wants to see your mother."

An Ge replied, "Oh, wait a moment, let me go to my room to get something."

"What are you getting?" Did he seem so free?

An Ge said, "Um... I have something to give the Second Madam."

She finished speaking and darted upstairs.

When she came back down, she saw An Baoying standing in front of Huo Shaoyan, saying, "Young Master Huo, I’ve decided to temporarily leave the entertainment industry to focus on my pregnancy. Young Master Tang has returned from abroad, and I’ll explain the situation to him later."

Huo Shaoyan narrowed his eyes, "Tang Jiuze?"

"Yes. Young Master Tang personally oversees the most active entertainers."

Huo Shaoyan acknowledged with a sound, "I’ll have Qin Lang escort you."

An Baoying was happy with this arrangement.

To her, Qin Lang was the heart of the man.

For the man to have Qin Lang escort her showed he cared about her.

After An Baoying left, Huo Shaoyan’s gaze fell on An Ge’s face, "Hearing news about an ex, are you excited to reunite?"
