What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

Chapter 79

To Huo Xiaozheng's surprise, Huo Guining also shook her head.

"Half the reason I deny being friends with Lingling is that I'm worried they'll latch onto you," Huo Guining said seriously. "The other half is that I'm afraid they'll treat Lingling like a cash cow."

Huo Xiaozheng was somewhat astonished by Huo Guining's perceptiveness.

"What do you mean by that?"

Huo Guining pursed her lips, "If Lingling and I became good friends, I certainly couldn't stand by when she was suffering."

"Then I would choose to help her."

"But I don't have the ability to help her. So, I would definitely choose to ask Dad for help."

Huo Xiaozheng listened patiently as Huo Guining continued, "Dad's way of helping people is simple and forceful - he would definitely give money."

"Once or twice, and sooner or later Lingling's parents would find out."

"When that day comes, I would not only lose a friend, but I would also harm Dad."

As Huo Guining said this, her words were clear and logical.

Huo Xiaozheng took a long time to recover.

"Dad, are you listening to me?" Huo Guining waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Dad is listening," Huo Xiaozheng smiled. "Your analysis is very reasonable."

Huo Guining smiled.

Huo Xiaozheng sighed, "Sometimes, Dad wishes you weren't so smart. Maybe then you could be a little happier."

For the next few days, Huo Xiaozheng completely set aside his work and took Huo Guining sightseeing.

The pair's striking looks and height difference were too eye-catching.

Some tourists posted photos of the two online. At first, netizens thought it was just a good-looking father and daughter on vacation.

Later, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered their identities.

"Holy crap! Isn't this the CEO of Huo Corporation and his cold-hearted daughter?"

"The baby looks so adorably cool! How is she cold-hearted?"

"Mr. Huo, those damn kidnappers took me to a foreign place, come quickly and take me home!"

"Dad! I'm your long-lost daughter!"

"The little girl's smile is so sweet, I'm in love!"

As more and more photos of the two were taken, the online discussions gradually went off-topic.

"My little girl's hairstyle is cool, but her daily outfits are so sweet. Could it be that Mr. Huo is personally coordinating them?"

"The one above speaks the truth. Mr. Huo hugs my little girl every day, the height difference is killing me with cuteness!"

"The leash Mr. Huo uses for my little girl seems to be the same as the one for my puppy. [Dog emoji]"

"Mr. Huo must have bought the wrong one, haha! The one for human children is different...!"

"You'd better hope not. Next time, you can have at most 5 spoonfuls."

Remembering the size of the spoon, Huo Xiaozheng immediately corrected himself, "No, at most two spoonfuls."

Huo Guining protested, "Three spoonfuls."

"Two spoonfuls, and if you argue, it'll be one."

Huo Guining: OK, fine, the wise bow to the inevitable.

That day, a driver picked them up.

After fastening Huo Guining's seatbelt, Huo Xiaozheng noticed her silence and thought she might be angry.

Just as he was about to speak,

Huo Guining's voice drifted up: "Dad, can we have popcorn later?"

Huo Xiaozheng: ...

He discreetly glanced at Ning's belly, then opened his phone and started searching for articles on scientific feeding methods for children.

Suddenly, Huo Guining's phone rang. It was Huo Yueze calling.

Huo Guining answered eagerly, "Brother!"

Huo Yueze's voice filled the car, "Ning, I'm on holiday! When are you coming back?"

Huo Guining looked at Huo Xiaozheng, "Dad, when are we going back?"

Huo Xiaozheng asked, "When do you want to go back?"

Huo Yueze interjected, "It's almost Spring Festival in a few days. Ning, you're not planning to abandon us and spend the New Year alone with Uncle, are you?"

Is it almost New Year?

Huo Guining was a bit surprised.

"Of course not, Brother. Dad and I will definitely come back for New Year."

"Right, Dad?"

Huo Xiaozheng took her phone, "Ning and I will fly back tomorrow afternoon."

With that, he hung up.

The children's theater was almost full.

Huo Xiaozheng and Huo Guining sat in a second-floor box. At Huo Xiaozheng's insistence, Huo Guining gave up on popcorn and opted for a fruit platter instead.

"Oh? Those are Lingling's parents!"

Huo Guining pointed at two figures downstairs.

Huo Xiaozheng looked closely, and indeed they were.

"They only brought Lingling's little brother, not Lingling."

Huo Guining's tone was a bit dejected, probably feeling sorry for Lingling.
