Chapter 160 Am I annoying?
I have always despised people like them.
At their age, they still cling to feudal and outdated customs.
I thought young people these days cared about this.
"I don't think you understand. You're just a university professor now. Without a powerful background to rely on, you won't be able to get by in a place like Xinjing City," my grandfather said sarcastically, looking at me.
I smiled and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to just marry Huo Yubai?"
“The problem is that with your background, you simply can’t marry into the family.” The great-grandfather sneered, “I’m not afraid to tell you, I’ve already spoken to Huo Yubai’s grandfather. You can’t marry into the family. Even if Huo Yubai wants to marry you, Old Master Huo has to give his approval.”
"If that's the case, why bother asking me? Just pack up your granddaughter and send her to Huo Yubai's bed, that'll solve everything." I stood up.
I never expected that this was their plan.
"Now that you're here, you're not leaving." A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"I know Huo Yubai came with you. He'll come to see you tonight." He looked at me meaningfully, "I'm afraid you'll have to make do for now."
"What do you mean?" I looked at him coldly.
He gave a sarcastic smile: "You're still too green."
After he finished speaking, four bodyguards came over.
"Little girl, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you listen to me, nothing will happen." The old man stood up: "Hand over your phone."
I snorted and took out my phone.
The bodyguard took the phone and turned it off.
"Your room is ready, go and rest." The old man's face, which had just been stormy, was now very kind again.
I chuckled and said, "Grandpa, let me remind you, Huo Yubai is not someone to be trifled with."
"Once they've made it official, he'll be my grandson-in-law. No matter what he is, he'll listen to me," the great-grandfather said confidently.
I'm too lazy to remind you anymore.
The bodyguard then took me upstairs and locked me in a room.
The room had everything, except for communication equipment.
I stretched and yawned. There was no use in being anxious. I should just take a nap first.
When I woke up, it was already dark outside.
But I still can't get out.
I don't know when Huo Yubai will arrive.
There was a noise coming from outside the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and my aunt came in carrying dinner.
"I guessed you were awake too, let's eat." My aunt looked at me.
I said calmly, "Did your aunt also agree to let them joke about your daughter's innocence?"
Auntie retorted, "If you don't like Huo Yubai, wouldn't it be better to give him to your sister? Anyway, he can still support you as your brother-in-law."
"How do you know I don't like him?" I asked, puzzled.
"Isn't Huo Yushen the one you like?" My aunt looked at me.
I was stunned: "How did you know?"
"It's a secret," Auntie said, unwilling to reveal it.
I remained calm and asked, "So, Grandpa knew too?"
Aunt nodded.
No wonder Grandpa was so calm.
I snorted.
“Shen Yan, a man like Huo Yubai is destined to make women fawn over him. Even if he likes you, if you keep ignoring him like this, do you think he will still love you wholeheartedly?” Auntie said sarcastically. “Women shouldn’t take themselves too seriously. Since you’re going to depend on men for a living, you should lower your standards.”
"Aunt, I'm curious, are you only saying this to me, or to your daughter as well?" I looked at her with some curiosity.
"Shen Yan, I know you're the type who doesn't like to suffer losses, but in this world, women need to be a little weak to arouse a man's protective instincts and to hold onto his heart." Aunt's words were truly shocking.
I chuckled to myself: "Auntie, you're also the one who's in a weaker position in your marriage, so I'd like to ask, is Uncle truly devoted to you?"
My aunt's expression froze for a few seconds, then she smiled calmly: "At least, he never thought about divorcing me."
I gave a cold laugh.
"You should rest well after you finish eating. After tonight, the Shen family and the Huo family will be completely intertwined." Aunt said with a firm expression.
I shrugged and said nothing.
Aunt turned and left.
I picked up my chopsticks and turned the rice and vegetables over to make sure they weren't poisonous before I started eating.

By the time Huo Yubai finished his business, it was already 8:30 p.m.
He sent Shen Yan several messages, but received no reply.
Huo Fei glanced in the rearview mirror: "What's wrong?"
"Yan Yan hasn't replied to me yet." He frowned.
"You're always haunting her like a ghost, she's bound to get annoyed," Huo Fei teased.
Huo Yubai pursed his thin lips: "Am I annoying?"
"Isn't this all your own doing? Impersonating your own brother and making the girl you like fall in love with your brother, isn't that ridiculous?" Huo Fei laughed.
"It's all your fault. You were the one who told Shen Yuan that you had a nephew who was admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities early, and that you could tutor Shen Yan." Huo Yubai's expression turned slightly cold.
"It's not my fault. They can't hire a mediocre student to tutor their daughter, can they?" Huo Fei argued. "If you had been honest with Shen Yan back then, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
Huo Yubai closed his eyes.
It's not that he didn't want to be honest, but that he didn't dare.
A girl like Shen Yan would definitely prefer a gentle and clean-minded academic high-achiever to a rebellious academic underachiever.
"You brought this on yourself," Huo Fei mocked. "Now look what you've done, you're reaping what you sowed, Shen Yan treats you like a younger brother."
"That's enough." Huo Yubai didn't want to hear anymore.
He knew, of course, that Shen Yan's tolerance towards him was because of Huo Yushen.
Huo Fei escorted him to the gate of the Shen family's old house: "We're here. I'll knock on the door for you."
"No need," Huo Yubai said in a cool voice. "I can go in by myself."
"Okay." Huo Fei watched him get out of the car.
As soon as Huo Yubai got out of the car, the gate of the old house courtyard opened.
The other party saw him arrive through the security camera at the entrance.
Huo Fei watched Huo Yubai go inside before leaving.
Grandpa Huo personally greeted him at the door: "Mr. Huo, welcome."
Huo Yubai asked indifferently, "Where is Shen Yan?"
"Shen Yan is not feeling well and is resting in her room," the grandfather replied.
"Have you called a doctor?" Huo Yubai asked coldly.
"Of course," the old man said with a smile. "Mr. Huo, please come in."
Huo Yubai put his hands in his coat pockets, his tone very cold: "I'm sorry to bother you today."
The great-grandfather smiled calmly and said, "You're too kind."
Huo Yubai stepped into the villa.
After entering the villa.
Aunt Huo approached with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Huo."
"Take me to see Shen Yan first." Huo Yubai looked at them coldly.
Aunt paused, then said, "Shen Yan has taken her medicine and is already asleep. Mr. Huo, why don't you eat something first, and then go upstairs later?"
"No need," Huo Yubai coldly refused. "Take me upstairs."
Auntie smiled awkwardly: "Please come with me."
They turned and went upstairs.
His aunt led him to the door of the room: "Shen Yan is inside, Mr. Huo, please come in."
