The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

9. You are My Friend

Though the coffee was splashed upon the floor, the aroma didn’t diminish, only it was rather cold soon.

Mixed with the woody fragrance of the floor, the coffee gave off an unique aroma.

Huo Lang still sat on the chair with his legs crossed, restoring his usual elegance. But the smile on his face was like a demon in Huo Xiu’s eyes.

Huo Xiu squatted down, but her mouth could not reach it.

She had no choice but to lie on the floor for sticking out her pink tongue to lick the coffee on the ground.

It tasted good and unique!

It was slightly bitter, but the bitterness was not a patch on one in ten thousand of that in her heart.

Even the dog in the villa was fed on a exquisite plate. She never expected that Uncle would belittle her to be inferior to a dog and let her lie on the ground to lick the coffee.

She licked the coffee constantly until the floor was cleaned up. The man on the sofa revealed a mocking and satisfied smile, asking with concern, “Good to drink?”

“It tastes good. Thank you, Uncle!” Huo Xiu wiped off the bitterness from the corner of her mouth, hiding the sadness and desolation in her heart and forcing a happy smile.

Huo Lang became more and more disgusted with her and looked colder, never even looking at her. He stood up and said, “I’ll have Mammy Wang send you to school tomorrow!”

Until he left the study, he hadn’t given Huo Xiu a glance. The coldness in his eyes made all the things in the study frozen.

Huo Xiu also felt that the cold winter came instantly.

She didn’t understand why Uncle still hated her so much even though she had done everything he had asked.

Suppressing the tears in her eyes, Huo Xiu stood up and walked out!

The next day, Huo Lang drove Huo Xue to the best exclusive private school in the city and arranged a special driver to do the school run.

If he was available, he would do it himself.

On the same day, Huo Xiu took a tricycle specially used for carrying weeds, taken by Wang to the nearby primary school in the village.

Her clothes were still old, but Wang had altered a little fitter for her.

The old schoolbag was a second hand from the son of a gardener when he was young. The corner of the schoolbag was a little tattered, but it had no impact on its usage.

The scenery along the way to school was very beautiful. Huo Xiu was delirious with joy just like a bird got out of the cage.

A dinky sports car roared past them.

Huo Xiu recognized Uncle’s car and also saw Huo Lang and Huo Xue sitting inside.

Huo Xue wore a pretty princess dress with her slightly curly hair beautifully combed, on which there was an extremely delicate hair accessory.

She was even more beautiful than the princess in the fairy tale!

The car roared past and disappeared out of her sight in a flash.

Huo Xiu suppressed the sadness in her heart and tried to force a smile against the sunlight.

She got off at the school gate because Mammy Wang had to buy some cements in passing as the stone bench under the grape trellis in the orchard had been cracked. The artisan said it needed repairing, so she could only leave Huo Xiu here.

“Thank you, Aunt Wang!”

Huo Xiu hopped off the tricycle and watched Wang go. And then she walked into the unfamiliar school alone.

It was easy to find her classroom as there were only a few rooms.

It was also a shabby school, where the basket-support was ramshackle and it seemed it could fall down at any instant.

Huo Xiu could read some words. Soon she found the place to register and walked in, taking the form and standing in the queue.

Behind her stood a boy dressed in clean clothes and looked very elegant.

When it was her turn, she handed over the form.

The teacher was kind and smiled at her.

“Huo Xiu? Are you from the Huo Family nearby? ”

Huo Xiu replied obediently, “Yes, I am. Miss!”

The teacher was a little surprised that Huo Family was a wealthy and influential family, how could the young lady of Huo Family come to such a school to read?

Was it because her family wanted her to experience life of ordinary people?

“Just call me Miss Zhang!” Zhang Manman said.

She was a teacher here, living in a nearby village.

When Huo Xiu went to the classroom, many students had already chosen their seats and sat down.

Huo Xiu looked around and found that there was an unoccupied seat next to a boy. She went to sit down beside him.

The little boy gave her a bright smile. Huo Xiu was happy and also smiled at him.

“Your name is Huo Xiu?” The little boy greeted her with enthusiasm.

“How did you know me?” Huo Xiu was confused, showing a puzzled look.

The boy scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I heard you talk to Miss Zhang just now. Hello, my name is Wen Ziyang. Can I be your friend?”

The smile on Huo Xiu’s face became brighter for she would have a friend!

“Okay, you’ll be my friend from now on!”
