Chapter 267: Just a Reserve

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yichen’s name came out of Murong Chuan’s mouth again and again.

“Huo Yichen, please answer this question.”

“Then, Cla.s.smate Huo, what are your thoughts on this question?”

“Cla.s.smate Huo…”

No other names were mentioned since cla.s.s started. Even the students who did not know what had happened could tell that Murong Chuan was deliberately targeting Huo Yichen.

Moreover, they were tricky questions. Although it was not outside the course, it would take half an hour for anyone to answer any one of them.

“Cla.s.smate Huo.” This was the 37th time Murong Chuan called his name.

Huo Yichen stood up helplessly. “This question needs to be a.n.a.lyzed from the first two lines, especially the stock market…”

He did not seem to have any intention of being made difficult. His logic was logical and clear, and his steps were not complicated.

In the beginning, the other students were worried that this new teacher would ask them questions and thus, everyone sat in their seats on tenterhooks.

In the end, it turned out that Professor Murong was only interested in Huo Yichen alone. Thus, everyone was relieved and bold enough to lower their heads and play with their phones. They were not afraid of being asked questions at all.

“Cla.s.smate Huo’s answer is not bad.” Murong Chuan gestured for him to sit down.

He continued to explain the PowerPoint presentation, but he admired Huo Yichen more in his heart.

The few questions just now could be considered deep, and there were many commonly made errors that one could make. However, Huo Yichen could always give the correct answer in just a few minutes. In terms of studies alone, Murong Chuan felt that Huo Yichen was not bad.

However, in Murong Chuan’s heart, Huo Yichen still couldn’t match up to his Little Sister.

This cla.s.s seemed to be incomparably long, but it was very relaxed for the other students.

“Alright, that’s all for this cla.s.s.” Murong Chuan ended on time. “Cla.s.s dismissed.”

He was on time. As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang and the surrounding students stood up and walked out impatiently.

Compared to the others, Huo Yichen was still sitting in his seat, sorting out the information.

Although he was making things difficult, Murong Chuan’s teaching skills were very high. After this lesson, he had learned a lot of things that needed to be sorted out.

Seeing that he hadn’t left, Huo Yichen’s roommate couldn’t help but approach him curiously.

“Brother, what’s going on with you? You’re the only name for the professor in this cla.s.s.” That person asked him.

The boy who spoke was Huo Yichen’s roommate at school. He usually got along well with everyone and was not afraid to talk to Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen raised an eyebrow at him. “The professor’s surname is Murong.”

He stopped there. The boy was not stupid. Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were both influential figures in Hui University. Coupled with the fact that this professor’s surname was Murong, he immediately understood the key.

“Serves you right.” The boy couldn’t help but laugh.

It seemed that even immortal love had its troubles. Thinking of Professor Murong’s crazy attack on Huo Yichen just now, he laughed even harder.

If he had such a good-looking, smart, obedient Little Sister and found out she was in a relationship, he would definitely do something worse than Professor Murong.

Huo Yichen didn’t pay much attention to this matter. His exam was approaching and he needed a lot of time to prepare.

However, while he was seriously preparing for the exam, the Huo family was also in turmoil.

“You’re still feeling melancholic.” The butler placed a cup of tea beside the Huo Family Head’s hand with a respectful att.i.tude.

The head of the Huo family, Huo Hong, responded and took a sip of the tea.

The temperature was just right for his stomach, making his tense nerves relax a little.

Now that he was middle-aged, the lines on his face deepened and his entire aura became dignified.

Other than the butler who had been taking care of him, very few people could talk to Huo Hong freely without being pressured by his aura.

Huo Hong pinched his throbbing forehead. “I keep feeling that Xiu Yuan is still a little lacking.”

He was talking about the nephew he had secretly trained to be Huo Yichen’s backup.

“Young Master Huo is more like you in this aspect,” the butler agreed.

Compared to Huo Xiuyuan, any smart person would choose Huo Yichen.

Although Huo Xiuyuan was obedient and capable, the difference between him and Huo Yichen was obvious.

There was no expression on Huo Hong’s face, and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, his eyes were so deep that it made people want to retreat.

“I’m thinking about it.” Huo Hong looked at the doc.u.ment in his hand. “Perhaps Yichen is more suitable to inherit the Huo family.”

Huo Yichen was outstanding enough to bring the Huo family to the top.

The butler’s expression did not change as he poured another cup of tea for Huo Hong.

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of the third person, stirring up the heart of the eavesdropper.

Huo Xiuyuan stood at the door of the study and listened to the conversation between Huo Hong and the butler. His face turned green, purple, and black. It was even more colorful than an art student’s painting.

Huo Yichen again.

He clenched his fists tightly and felt an invisible pressure on his body. It was so heavy that he almost couldn’t breathe.

Huo Xiuyuan lightened his footsteps and returned to his room as if nothing had happened.

However, the moment the door closed, he could not help but punch the wall. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. He felt that Huo Hong was not taking him seriously.

“How dare a b.a.s.t.a.r.d climb over my head?” Huo Xiuyuan felt humiliated.

He did not expect Huo Hong to really consider giving all his a.s.sets to Huo Yichen. That was the most unacceptable outcome for Huo Xiuyuan.

He had been nurtured as the heir of the Huo family since he was young and had grown up in the Huo family.

Huo Xiuyuan could read people’s expressions and worked hard. His results could be considered the best among the younger generation of the Huo family.

However, since Huo Hong had his own son at that time, he was just a backup. No one cared about his feelings. No matter how hard Huo Xiuyuan tried, he could not get Huo Hong to like him. He did not even get a word of praise.

This continued until Huo Hong’s son died. The Huo family was immersed in sorrow, but Huo Xiuyuan was the only one who was excited. He felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

However, things always changed unexpectedly. Huo Hong’s son died, but not only did he not start to promote him, he even went out to find a b.a.s.t.a.r.d to bring back.

“From now on, you have to call him Young Master Huo, understand?” The butler brought a stranger back to the Huo residence and instructed.

That was the first time Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen met. Huo Yichen stood there, exuding an unapproachable aura. He had clearly been wandering outside, but his aura was even more powerful than that of a young master. At a glance, no one dared to make a sound.

Then, things seemed to have returned to the past, but Huo Yichen was much more outstanding than Huo Hong’s original son. He was even better than him in all aspects.

“Young Master Huo, you’re in first place again.”

“The teacher said that you have talent. You can move on to the next cla.s.s.”

“As expected of you. Hui University is not a problem either.”

Huo Xiuyuan used to be surrounded by countless compliments, but they all belonged to Huo Yichen now.

This thorn had been in Huo Xiuyuan’s heart for a long time. And today, when he heard the conversation between Huo Hong and the butler, this thorn seemed to have grown. It tugged at the blood vessels in his heart and caused them to hurt.

Huo Yichen’s name was like a cancerous tumor that occupied his living s.p.a.ce, threatening Huo Xiuyuan..
