427: Poor Second Older Brother

Poor Second Older Brother

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan asked the old man in concern about how he was doing when he came downstairs. 1

Since it was Saturday, there was no class, so Huo Yao was sitting on the couch lazily and was engrossed on her phone. Huo Tingrui also sat next to her and had not gone to work, either.

The old man glanced at Huo Yao before he replied to Song Ning. "Yaoyao lit a stick of incense for me last night, so I feel much better now."

Song Ning was surprised before she smiled and said, "You were in good shape to begin with. That was just something she made for fun."

The old man felt odd. "Did she make the incense?"

"Uh huh." Song Ning nodded.

The old man recalled how the young woman said she purchased it online for $9.90, including shipping.

He chuckled as he thought about what a huge liar she was.

Huo Yao sensed the old man looking at her, but he looked away in disdain when she raised her head and looked at him.

Huo Yao was clueless as to why he did that.

Song Ning helped the old man over to the dining room and called her daughter and son for breakfast.

Although there was an outsider among them, breakfast was no different from usual.

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan were uninhibited folks, but they treated the old man courteously.

Halfway through breakfast, Song Ning raised her head and looked at Huo Tingrui and said, "Tingrui, your matchmaking session is at 12:00 pm, so stop dragging your feet."

Huo Tingrui thought his mother would have forgotten about the matchmaking session now that they had a guest, but she surprisingly brought it up.

He scratched his head and felt annoyed.

The old man looked at Huo Tingrui in surprise when he heard what Song Ning said. "Tingrui, is so good-looking and talented. Why would he have any trouble finding a girl?"

"Precisely! Since there is a major matchmaking event taking place in the estate, I signed him up for it," sighed Song Ning right to Huo Tingrui's face.

Huo Tingrui was flabbergasted.

Now that he had sunk to the level of attending the estate matchmaking event, he felt heartbroken.

Huo Yao lowered her head quietly.

Her second older brother was simply pitiful.

"He's still young, so there's no hurry." The old man coughed.

Song Ning shook her head. "He's already 26 years old. All my friends' kids have children of their own by now."

Huo Tingrui felt so depressed from hearing this that he could not go on listening. He swiftly ate two buns before he stood up. "I'm done. Enjoy your breakfast."

Just as Huo Tingrui was about to leave, his eyes thoughtfully spun before he turned to look at Huo Yao. "It's Saturday. Since you're free, why don't you come along with me?"

Huo Yao's hands paused when he suddenly made the suggestion. She raised her head and was about to turn him down.

"That's nonsense. How can you take your little sister along for matchmaking?" Song Ning glared at Huo Tingrui angrily before she said, "Also, your sister doesn't like crowded places. She's going to stay home and chat with her grandfather."

Huo Yao promptly stood up and said solemnly, "Mom, we have to be careful about choosing Brother Tingrui's future wife. We can't choose a random woman. As his sister, it's my duty to help him find the right woman."

The old man was dumbstruck. "!!!"

She clearly did not want to stay home and keep a lonely old man company. How dare she come up with such a pompous excuse?

Ptooey!
