Chapter 451: Doesn’t Our Family Have Debts?
Huo Xiang curled up on the couch with the cushion and looked at his little sister thoughtfully after Tong Yu left.
A long while later, he put down the cushion to straighten his back and said in a serious tone, “Yao, our family isn’t that poor, you know?”
He had wanted to tell his little sister about this a long while ago, but he kept getting interrupted.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. Was this what he wanted to say after staring at her for so long?
She was still curious about what Huo Tingrui had said over lunch. Now here Huo Xiang was offering to explain things to her.
This was perfect.
She was mighty curious about exactly how well to do her family was.
Huo Yao asked with a perplexed look on her face. “Doesn’t our family have debts?”
Huo Xiang had no idea that his little sister was out to fool him. He looked at Huo Yao in disbelief. “Who said that?”
Was this the reason for her persistence in making money?
Huo Yao blinked. “I saw debt collectors visiting us before.”
“Debt collectors?” Huo Xiang frowned.
He contemplated for a moment, and a thought crossed his mind before he looked at Huo Yao. “Are you talking about some tall, burly dudes dressed in black suits who look like gangsters?”
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly. His description was so accurate that she had nothing to add.
She nodded.
Huo Xiang finally realized where the misunderstanding was. “Yao, you’re mistaken. They aren’t debt collectors. They are employees from the company’s finance department.”
“The company’s finance department?” Huo Yao placed her chin in her palm and squeezed it perplexedly.
“Uh huh. Since we have a lot of businesses, there are a lot of accounts to handle. They visit us each month to report about our business. Those must have been the people that you saw.” Huo Xiang nodded.
He felt that it was pointless to explain why their finance department looked like gangsters. After all, Huo Yao was still a student. Her job was to study hard, spend their money and have a good time!
Huo Yao went into a daze when she heard that the Huo family had a lot of businesses.
Was she not supposed to be from a low-income family?
Huo Xiang sat next to Huo Yao when he noticed how dejected she was and asked her worriedly. “Yao, what’s wrong?”
Huo Yao turned her head sideways. She looked at Huo Xiang’s face sadly for a while before her eyes landed on his curly hair.
It seemed that she was never intended to become a poor female lead. She could only stroke her brother’s hair to soothe her shock.
Huo Xiang went quiet when she started stroking his hair unexpectedly.
Why was his little sister always in the habit of stroking his head?
He should be the one stroking her head since he was her older brother!

It was the weekend the next day, and Huo Yao and Huo Xiang were going to shoot another episode of ‘Countryside Life With My Family’.
The viewership for the last episode was already exceptional. The program had received a lot of attention when Huo Xiang was accused of stealing Xiang Nan’s music.
Before the filming even began, a lot of viewers were already online waiting for the program to start.
Tong Yu drove over to pick them up first thing in the morning. Filming was to take place at the same picturesque village in Ren County.
Tong Yu reminded Huo Xiang about a lot of things, especially for him to take care of his image. Huo Xiang could not trip up as much as he did during the first two episodes.
Although he did not lose any fans after ruining his image, he needed to remember that he was the older brother here!
