Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Mom Has Been Waiting for You
“Liang Yin! Huo’s father is waiting for you downstairs at the dormitory.”
Liang Yin had just finished showering when her roommate came in looking for her.
She was a bit surprised and said, “Liang Yin, you’ve been getting very close with Huo lately! Are you guys dating?”
Liang Yin quickly waved her hand to clarify, “No, we aren’t.”
Her roommate gently nudged her and teased, “Oh come on, don’t hide it anymore! We’ve all seen you and Huo holding hands walking around campus, laughing and chatting. Plus, hasn’t Huo’s father been coming to school to have meals with you these days?”
Another roommate poked her head out from the upper bunk, “I heard some classmates saw you and Mr. Huo together in the library! Mr. Huo really likes you.”
“Are you guys planning to get engaged?”
“Yeah, Mr. Huo must have approved of you as his daughter-in-law!”
“Oh my god! So jealous! You probably don’t know, right?! Huo’s family background is exceptional. His father is the chairman of the Huace Group, and his brother is the CEO of Huace Group. He has another brother who controls a massive finance company. The Huo family is the biggest tycoon in Beijing, top-class nobility!”
“Liang Yin, what kind of fate is this! If you’re really dating Huo, you’re basically living a Cinderella story!”
“What nonsense are you guys talking about.” Liang Yin said with a smile, “Don’t spread rumors, and don’t talk about it, Huo and I aren’t like that.”
After saying that, she changed into a different outfit and left the dormitory.
As soon as she stepped out of the dorm, the faces of the people inside changed.
“Tch. What a show! Obviously so close yet hides it and won’t admit! Does she think she’s a celebrity? What’s there to hide?”
“What do you know, she’s just pretending to be aloof. After all, if she could truly be Huo’s girlfriend, then she’d no longer be in the same class as us, right? Didn’t you see? Huo’s classmates and friends are all offspring of socialites, if she’s dating Huo, how could she still associate with friends of our level?”
“They haven’t even settled anything yet! She’s already showing off!”
A chubby girl sleeping opposite Liang Yin also teased, “Yeah! How could she do this? We are all in the same class and are all close friends, is there anything she can’t tell us? I think, there’s nothing to hide, unless there’s something shameful here? If that’s the case, then she’s really being hypocritical!”
“Zhou Zhou, you’re right! Hypocrites like her! Before, when we first enrolled, didn’t she tell us her parents arranged a childhood marriage for her back in her hometown, and she came to Beijing alone for college? Now, she’s connected with Huo. So, it’s like she’s flown up to become a phoenix!”
The chubby girl named Zhou Zhou paused for a moment and nodded, “I see. I used to think she was a nice person, she’d occasionally take me along for fitness and weight loss.”
To keep herself energetic, Liang Yin had a fitness routine every week.
Zhou Zhou was a food-loving girl, weighing 100 kg, whose figure was severely out of shape, looking very unhealthy. Liang Yin had brought her along for some time for fitness, and they stayed close for a while, but Zhou Zhou quit midway because she couldn’t handle the hardship.
A skinny girl sleeping in the upper bunk of Zhou Zhou said expressionlessly, “I think it’s not good to speak ill of others behind their backs.”
Everyone glanced at her.
This girl was named Ye Ling.
In the entire dorm, she was the most isolated aside from Liang Yin. Ye Ling was even more aloof than Liang Yin and only had a nodding acquaintance with Liang Yin, but she hated speaking ill of others behind their backs, distorting right and wrong.
Zhou Zhou muttered, “We weren’t speaking ill of her, we were just concerned about her, don’t exaggerate things.”
Ye Ling snorted coldly but didn’t respond.
The dorm instantly quieted down.
…
Outside the dorm.
Liang Yin walked downstairs and was startled.
It was already late.
But there were still students gradually heading towards the dorm.
At the entrance, Huo Tingdong and Huo Linzhou stood side by side, with Huo Tinghan and Lin Jinmo behind them.
Such an impressive sight left Liang Yin feeling a bit lost.
What was going on?
As soon as Huo Tingdong saw Liang Yin, he immediately walked over to her.
Even though he tried his best to control his emotions, both of his hands were still trembling.
“Yinyin…”
Huo Tingdong grabbed her hand, “Dad is here to take you home!”
Liang Yin was stunned, “Now?… Wait, is the result out?”
She vaguely realized something.
Before Huo Tingdong could say anything, Lin Jinmo suddenly rushed forward and tightly hugged Liang Yin, “Yinyin… brother really misses you…”
Liang Yin was bewildered, only able to feel Lin Jinmo’s intensely warm embrace.
He held her so tightly that she was almost suffocating, but she was reluctant to push him away.
Huo Tinghan and Huo Linzhou also came over and hugged her.
In a blink of an eye, the little one was tightly embraced by three brothers, with only two helplessly swaying hands left.
“Help… I can’t breathe.”
Huo Tingdong said, “You guys let her go first.”
At this moment, the three brothers paid no heed to his words.
Huo Tingdong came over and gave each of them a flick on the forehead, “Let go!”
The three men then released her in unison.
Once Liang Yin finally regained her composure, Huo Tingdong had already handed the identification report to her, “Yinyin, you really are our Yinyin. Come home with Dad, okay? Mom is already waiting for you at home.”
Huo Tingdong controlled his emotions very well.
Though he was extremely excited, he was still afraid of scaring her, so he didn’t express it too intensely.
…
Xiangxie Palace.
Two cars parked at the entrance.
Huo Tingdong got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat, letting Huo Linzhou and Liang Yin get out together.
Behind, Lin Jinmo and Huo Tinghan also got out of the car.
Liang Yin looked at the villa and still felt a bit disoriented.
Every light in the villa was turned on, as if only to wait for her to return home.
Liang Yin’s eyes felt a bit warm.
She looked at the brightly lit house, and for a moment, couldn’t help but imagine that upon opening that door, she’d be able to see her mother.
Her biological mother.
Along the way, Huo Tingdong had told her that Mom had already been informed over the phone that their daughter had been found and was waiting for her to return home!
For some reason, perhaps due to the feeling of being close to home, Liang Yin reached the doorstep but stood still.
She calmed herself down, while Huo Tingdong beside her pushed open the well-maintained wrought iron gate, “Yinyin, you’re home.”
All three brothers followed her, gently gazing at her.
Lin Jinmo nervously said, “Yinyin don’t be afraid, Mom has been waiting for you to come home, she misses you, more than anyone else.”
Liang Yin nodded, didn’t say anything, and instead summoned the courage to step through the door.
