Chapter 228: Borrow a Daughter

Chapter 228

After hanging up the phone, Huo Jian Sheng drove to his sister Huo Pei Qing's house.

Huo Jian Sheng came from a family of four siblings. He was the second oldest, with an older brother named Huo Jian Guo, a younger brother named Huo Jian Ping, and a younger sister named Huo Pei Qing.

Huo Pei Qing was surprised to see her second brother suddenly come to visit her and teasingly said, "What brings the wind to blow you here today?"

Huo Jian Sheng glanced at his sister and smiled, saying, "A tornado!"

"Oh, so a tornado has blown you here. What brings you?" Huo Pei Qing joked.

"I missed you, so I came to see you. Is that not allowed?" Huo Jian Sheng said, somewhat annoyed.

"Come on, you missed me? You don't visit unless there's something going on. So, tell me, what brings you here to find me?"

His sweet lie was mercilessly exposed by his sister. Huo Jian Sheng nonchalantly touched his nose and asked, "Where is Xin Yu?"

Huo Pei Qing's daughter, Liu Xin Yu, was also eleven years old. He wanted her to pretend to be Li Man's daughter. After all, Li Man's parents had never seen Huang Duo Duo.

Moreover, Huang Duo Duo was currently having a falling out with Li Man. Even if he let her go, it would be troublesome and might make everyone unhappy.

The more Huo Jian Sheng refused to tell her, the more interested she became and the more she wanted to know.

Huo Jian Sheng knew that if he didn't give his sister a reason, she wouldn't agree. He had no choice but to tell her the truth, "I want Xin Yu to pretend to be my friend's daughter."

Huo Pei Qing was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want her to pretend to be your friend's daughter? Doesn't he know what his own daughter looks like?"

"Her father is seriously ill, and the elderly couple wants to see their grandchild. But her own child is not available, so they want to find another child to comfort the elderly couple." Huo Jian Sheng explained briefly.

Huo Pei Qing was immediately captivated by the "he" mentioned by Huo Jian Sheng. Was it a man or a woman?

"Who is 'he'?" Huo Pei Qing couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Huo Jian Sheng glanced at her and impatiently said, 'I've already told you, will you lend it or not?'

Seeing signs of Huo Jian Sheng's brewing anger, Huo Pei Qing had to suppress her curiosity and replied, 'I can lend you a person, but I have to consult Xin Yu's opinion. If she doesn't want to go with you, there's nothing I can do.'

'Fine, bring her out, and I'll talk to her,' Huo Jian Sheng said.

Huo Pei Qing had no choice but to send a servant to bring Xin Yu down."
