Chapter 857: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (29)

It was quite nonsensical actually.

Last night, Huo Yingcheng sensed that something wasn’t right. At the time, Helian Niancheng was next to him. Seeing Huo Yingcheng puffed up with anger, he asked him what was going on.

Huo Yingcheng recounted what had happened to him, after which Helian Niancheng said meaningfully to him, “Why don’t you ask your mom what’s going on?”

Huo Yingcheng instantly got it.

He had always kept his lighter with him, and it suddenly disappeared yesterday.

During these two days, Yu Bao’er wasn’t in contact with him, so how could she possibly take his lighter?

But it would be different if it was someone close to him.

Especially someone close to him who had a motive.

His mother!

He called his mother right away to ask her what was going on.

His mother stutteringly confessed that she was the one who took his lighter, and she had even placed it in Yu Bao’er’s luggage.

Huo Yingcheng was so furious that he nearly scolded her. But how could he, when that was his mother? He asked her why, but she refused to say it. Upon hearing Huo Yingcheng’s harsh tone, she even angrily hung upon him.

She was simply of another level.

Huo Yingcheng couldn’t afford to trifle with her. It then occurred to him that he had maligned Yu Bao’er and that she must be feeling terrible about it.

Add to the fact that his mother was the culprit behind all this, it made Huo Yingcheng feel bad towards her.

Now, seeing Yu Bao’er, there was a complex feeling in his heart and also guilt.

Upon hearing Yu Bao’er say that she wanted to bash up the other party, Huo Yingcheng could only awkwardly cover his mouth and let out a cough. “I know you’re not the one who did it. But I’m still investigating who the culprit is. I’ll let you know after I find out. To express your apology, why don’t you treat me to a meal? I can’t travel so far for nothing, right?”

“Wah, how shameless of you? Since you’re the one who came over, shouldn’t you be treating me?”

Yu Bao’er stomped her feet angrily. She wasn’t a true goon. She asked, “You don’t know who did it?”

“My investigations have yet to turn up any results. The reason I’m letting you treat me to a meal is that when you left yesterday, didn’t you say that since I accompanied you around, you’re going to treat me to a meal? Your opportunity is here now since I’m here. Surely you’re not going to let me leave just like that?”

Yu Bao’er sized up Huo Yingcheng. His expression seemed extremely serious.

Unable to detect anything amiss, Yu Bao’er lowered her head and thought about it, then kicked at the floor with her slipper, before replying with a pout, “Alright then, I’ll treat you to lunch at noon.”

She turned around and prepared to go upstairs. She then turned her head back and glanced at Huo Yingcheng. “Let’s eat at noon. It’s still morning. Where will you be waiting for me? Why don’t you wait at my home?”

The moment these words came out of her mouth, Yu Bao’er regretted saying it.

Why would she invite him to her place when he was unrelated to her?

Huo Yingcheng froze for a moment, surprised. But following that, he nodded. “Okay.”

Yu Bao’er: “...”

Since she said it, she had to keep her word. Yu Bao’er could only motion for Huo Yingcheng to follow her. “Then come with me.”

Afterward, she turned around, wondering how she was going to face those three at home when she went upstairs with this person.

Knowing their nosy natures, she was certain that she couldn’t escape interrogation. Amongst them, there was one who could fabricate rumors, one with hawk-like eyes, and one who maintained alertness towards all the males she brought back. How fascinating it was going to be?

Yu Bao’er held a hand to her forehead. Oh, what had she done to deserve this!
