Chapter 677: For Once, She Spoke Candidly

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Ning noticed how guilty Huo Xiang felt about the accident. Although she felt the same way, she was mostly relieved.

If not for her daughter, she would probably have lost her son today.

Song Ning inhaled deeply just thinking about it.

She raised her hand and patted Huo Xiang on the back before she said softly, “Yaoyao is our lucky star.”

Huo Xiang glanced at his mother before he lowered his eyes. Huo Yao was more than a lucky star to him. She was the best little sister on earth.

Huo Jinyan looked at Huo Xiang and asked. “Why did your brakes suddenly malfunction? Didn’t the brake pad indicators light up when there was something wrong with themt?”

Huo Xiang straightened his back and leaned against the bed. He shook his head and replied. “There was no indication at all. It was the same for the handbrake.”

Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes as he contemplated. It did not make sense for the brakes to malfunction without warning, so this was clearly no accident.

Was someone out to get Huo Xiang?

Huo Yulin failed to notice his father’s expression when he heard what Huo Xiang said about the accident.

Instead, he asked Huo Yao quizzically. “Do you know how to drive?”

Even though he was not there to witness the accident, judging from Huo Xiang’s description, he could already imagine how dangerous it was. It was impossible for them to escape almost unscathed without her excellent driving skills.

However, his little sister was not even 18 years old. Was she capable of such extraordinary driving?

Huo Yulin looked at her sideways.

Huo Yao was sitting right beside him, next to the window with her hand on the windowsill. She looked straight into Huo Yulin’s eyes and said without batting an eyelid, “A little.”

Huo Yulin felt a little puzzled to hear this. Was she able to avoid a major traffic accident with just a little knowledge of driving?

“I read something about deceleration using friction in my textbook. When we encountered the accident, I simply experimented with what I had read,” explained Huo Yao after contemplating briefly.

Was it really a simple experiment?

Huo Yulin quietly looked at his little sister while she spoke confidently. At this time, it was beside the point.

Just as Huo Yao cleared her throat and turned her head, she received a text message notification on her phone. She retrieved her phone from her pocket and lowered her head to check it.

After seeing Min Yu’s text message, she could feel her temples throb. She raised her head and glanced at her parents sitting in the hospital ward along with her two brothers before replying to Min Yu.

Huo Yao got up from her chair and said, “I am going to the ladies.”

Other than Huo Yulin, no one else noticed something amiss with her.

Huo Yulin contemplated as he watched his sister leave.

Shortly after leaving the room, she saw Min Yu standing at the door. Huo Yao could already imagine all the questioning she would have to face and swiftly closed the door behind her.

Min Yu was quiet.

Huo Yao touched her nose. For once, she spoke candidly and simply said, “A lot of people are inside. This is not a good time to go in.”

Min Yu noticed her gesture and his eyes landed on the bandage on her hand.

He frowned slightly and asked. “Are you hurt?”

“Oh this? It’s just a superficial injury. It will get better in a few days,” replied Huo Yao as she shrugged and glanced at it nonchalantly.

Min Yu narrowed his eyes before saying in an unusually serious tone. “I have just the cream for it. I will go back and bring it to you.”

Huo Yao wanted to turn down his offer, but she changed her mind when she saw him looking at her deeply. “Sure.”

Min Yu’s frown eased when he heard her reply.

The door behind Huo Yao suddenly opened.
