His Cute Wife Needs a Teaching - C71

Huo Chen Xin stared at Sheng Xing Yu in a daze, as if she was being gently wrapped up by the warmth of his eyes, and couldn’t help but feel at a loss.

She had never been treated with such gentleness before. She suddenly couldn’t believe that someone was so kind.

Why in the world would he trust someone he had never met and do everything he could to help her?

“Huh?” Sheng Xing Yu was startled by her sudden words, but he still did as she said and started the car at a leisurely pace.

She clutched the safety belt in front of her chest with both hands, her gaze drifting to and fro as she said in a low voice, “My house is right in front of us.”

The voice was so weak it was hard to tell if it was depressed or guilty of concealing it.

Following Huo Chen Xin’s guidance, the carriage slowly drove into a small alley, the road became narrower and narrower, until it was impossible to enter.

Sheng Xing Yu leaned his body forward and glanced at the girl, and then laughed helplessly: “Looks like it’s time to get off the car and walk over.”

The “Wang Chen District” that Huo Chen Xin mentioned was a small district, but it only had a few buildings. With a glance, he could tell that it was an old house from the eighties or nineties. More than half of the white paint on the walls had fallen off, revealing the red brick inside.

She carried her backpack and jogged to the dark staircase, then turned and said to Sheng Xing Yu in a low voice, “I’m here, you can go back.”

The staircase was still lit by the old-fashioned light, but no matter how he stamped his foot, there was no light. It was so dark that one would be afraid of falling down if they stepped on empty space.

Seeing this scene, Sheng Xing Yu couldn’t help but feel worried. He naturally knew that he couldn’t comment on the lives of others, but to let a little girl like Huo Chen Xin stay here, was a little inappropriate.

She stood at the top of the stairs, while Sheng Xing Yu stood about a meter away from her, quietly looking at her, as if there was a clear gap in the middle between them.

Huo Chen Xin knew, they were clearly people from two different worlds. No matter how gentle Sheng Xing Yu was to him, the distance between them would not shrink.

She didn’t want him to get any closer. She wanted him to see the embarrassment in her life and erase all the pride in her heart.

However, before he could open his mouth, a loud noise came from upstairs. Someone had rudely thrown out the window all of a sudden.

Before she could react, the man grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her to the side, barely dodging the plastic basin that was falling towards her.

The blue plastic basin suddenly smashed onto the ground, releasing a crisp sound. The plastic sheet flew everywhere, and if not for Sheng Xing Yu’s hand in front of her face, it would have directly cut her face.

“That’s …”

The broken plastic bowl on the ground made Huo Chen Xin’s pupils constrict. As if he couldn’t believe it, he let the backpack slip to the ground, then pushed it away before rushing upstairs.

She prayed desperately that things would not go as she had hoped.

Sheng Xing Yu’s body swayed after being pushed, he stabilized his pace and looked at the girl’s flying figure, and immediately understood a bit, after hesitating for a moment, he immediately chased after her.

In one breath, he ran all the way up to the sixth floor without even stopping. Huo Chen Xin was already panting heavily, perspiration trickling down her forehead, yet the scene in front of her eyes was unable to allow her to rest.

“What are you all doing!?” This is my home, what right do you have to throw my things! ” A woman in her forties was fighting with a tall and strong young man for clothes. Her face was filled with anger and anxiety.

“Auntie,” the man called politely with a rogue look, but his tone was clearly mocking. “This house doesn’t belong to you anymore. Please hurry up and get out of here!”

“Mom!” As soon as Huo Chen Xin went upstairs, he saw a scene like this. Almost flying to the two of them, he snatched the clothes in the man’s hand and shouted angrily, “What are you doing!”

“Chen Xin,” When Chen Lan saw his daughter coming, he straightened his back as if he had something to support him, and shouted to the man: “What a joke, we have already lived here for more than twenty years, and yet you claim that the house is not ours!”

It was unknown what kind of laughable words the man heard, but he couldn’t help but sneer and say, “Auntie, you still haven’t understood the situation right? Since your daughter is here, I’ll say it again. Huo Zhong, you guys should know each other.

After hearing the two words “Huo Zhong”, Chen Lan was like a balloon that had been pricked by needles. Her previously arrogant demeanor immediately died down, and his voice had lost all its confidence as she shouted, “He owes you guys money and wants to repay you all. This house has nothing to do with him at all!”

“Oh? This mother of his is truly heartless.”

It wasn’t because Chen Lan was heartless, but because the mother and daughter pair had been hurt by Huo Zhong countless times. Their hearts were already bleeding and they no longer had any feelings left.

If it wasn’t for the money, Huo Zhong probably wouldn’t even have taken a step forward. Every time he got into trouble, he would push the blame to the two of them while avoiding the responsibility.

The man rubbed his chin, his vulgar gaze causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. “If you guys continue tormenting us, don’t blame us for being impolite.”
