Chapter 470: Chapter 470

Lately, Huo Feng didn’t know what Pu Sangzhi had gotten into... Dıscover more novels at novel•fire.net

Ye Qingcao made a WeChat call that lasted almost half an hour with Pu Sangzhi, clearly frightened by Pu Sangzhi, or perhaps trying to convince Pu Sangzhi to abandon such thoughts...

After all, seeing Pu Sangzhi so convinced that Yan Siyuan was gay, Huo Feng felt quite guilty!

He always felt that he had smeared Yan Ji’s image...

If Yan Ji found out, would he sever ties with him?

This weekend went by very ordinarily.

Aside from the part where Huo Mingshan stabbed him in the heart, and he had to smile while writing an apology letter, Huo Feng spent the rest of the time cramming for exams.

On Sunday, returning to school, Huo Feng took the insincere letter of apology to the office, handing it over to their class teacher Zheng Qiu, who he also asked to pass it on to Huo Mingshan.

Seeing Huo Feng so dutiful lately, Zheng Qiu’s impression of him had improved significantly!

This week of giving gifts and letters was clearly aimed at mending the father-son relationship!

Zheng Qiu felt happy about this.

After evening self-study started, Huo Mingshan, arriving late, received Huo Feng’s letter of apology.

As Zheng Qiu told him about the letter, he also gave him an envious look, saying, "The child has grown up, becoming more and more sensible."

Huo Mingshan raised his eyebrows skeptically, not ready to take Zheng Qiu’s words at face value, nor to hold any expectations for Huo Feng’s letter.

Huo Mingshan was very self-aware. He knew expecting anything from Huo Feng was foolish!

Huo Mingshan pulled up a chair and sat down, leisurely tidying up all his miscellaneous tasks on hand, making sure he was fully idle before opening the letter from Huo Feng.

True to form, he couldn’t help but snort in anger as soon as he opened it; his eyebrows knitted into a ’川’ character, "It’s not even written by him, it’s obviously Sangzhi’s handwriting!"

As Pu Sangzhi’s class teacher, Huo Mingshan naturally recognized Pu Sangzhi’s writing at first glance.

Pu Sangzhi’s handwriting was elegant and neat, just like her character, giving a refreshing and soothing feeling upon sight.

If this had been a letter from Pu Sangzhi to Huo Mingshan, he would have certainly smiled broadly and been in a great mood right now!

But this was a letter Pu Sangzhi wrote on Huo Feng’s behalf to him!

The words in the letter were clearly those Huo Feng had said to him, Huo Mingshan!

Huo Mingshan believed it was what Pu Sangzhi thought Huo Feng should say to him, not what Huo Feng wanted to say to him!

The very first sentence of this letter betrayed Huo Feng...

This letter might be late, it was supposed to go with the bottle of perfume last week. But due to various reasons, the delivery of this letter got delayed by a week.

I don’t know if you’ll feel touched, even though it’s late?

But I hope when you read this letter, you can think back to the first time you received a gift from your son, and just consider it as if I sent it during the same period...]

These words... pleasant and sincere, even with a touch of genuine emotion that also included a bit of cheesiness and nausea!

Huo Mingshan knew his son well enough to know that Huo Feng definitely couldn’t spit those words out, much less write them!

Pu Sangzhi going to such lengths for his son left Huo Mingshan speechless yet moved...

So, when he saw this letter, Huo Mingshan had not a ripple of emotion for Huo Feng, only the thought: Sangzhi, putting you in the middle is really making it tough for you...

No matter how it’s seen, this was a letter Sangzhi wrote to Huo Mingshan.

Even though it’s said to be written by Huo Feng, strictly speaking, it could also be seen as a jointly written letter from both of them to Huo Mingshan.

Huo Mingshan believed that although Huo Feng couldn’t say these words, he must have had the intention, which was why Pu Sangzhi would write such a letter for him.

So after reading it, Huo Mingshan’s mood was quite okay.

At least, the letter explained why Huo Feng had sent him the cologne.

Although Huo Mingshan was full of disbelief the first time he read it, the second time he read it, it was with mixed feelings of acceptance and skepticism concerning the central idea the letter wanted to express.

After reading it, Huo Mingshan pulled open the drawer and took out the cologne Huo Feng had given him last week, still in its original package.

It still had the packaging and note from last week, suggesting that after receiving it, Huo Mingshan had not touched it at all until now.

Now he took it out not to look at the cologne, but to compare the notes on the two pieces of paper.

Last week’s note was Huo Feng’s true feelings.

This week’s, beautified by Pu Sangzhi, was a mix of truth and fabrication.

Huo Mingshan let out a long sigh of exasperation, a deep-seated expression of lament, "Sangzhi, taking care of this little rascal isn’t easy on you..."

Huo Mingshan felt sorry for Pu Sangzhi...

But for Huo Feng, he felt nothing!

After this heartfelt but system-enforced letter was given to Huo Mingshan, Huo Feng began another week of waiting for Huo Mingshan’s reply.

But as was the case last week, this letter disappeared without a trace, making no splash at all...

Therefore, whether spending these 3000 yuan was worth it or not, Huo Feng still did not know.

Huo Feng only knew that the money was probably gone for good!

Huo Feng was very unwilling...

Another week had passed. In this state of unwillingness, Huo Feng felt suffocated for another week.

When he returned home from school on Friday, just like last Monday, Huo Feng paid extra attention to every move, every mood of Huo Mingshan.

It was evident that Huo Mingshan was in an average mood—not too bad, but not too good either.

This kind of neutral expression gave others a feeling of uncertainty.

Because with such an expression, he could be happy at any moment, or get angry at any moment!

That made it a bit hard for Huo Feng to handle...

After dinner on Friday night, Huo Feng hid in his room and chatted with Pu Sangzhi for a long time.

He asked Pu Sangzhi, how could he get back the 3000 yuan?

But Pu Sangzhi told him that the 3000 yuan was probably unrecoverable, and if he could put aside his pride to sweet-talk, the father-son relationship could still be mended.

But by now, Huo Feng felt that the father-son relationship was not important, that 3000 yuan was more important than anything else.

Huo Feng didn’t want to maintain any father-son relationship; letting it continue to deteriorate was fine by him, he just wanted his 3000 yuan back!

RMB was far more substantial than any father-son affection...

So, later on, Huo Feng didn’t want to listen to Pu Sangzhi anymore, didn’t want to humble himself and ingratiate himself with old Huo.

That way, he wouldn’t be himself anymore!

So later, Huo Feng, risking his life, knocked on the door to Huo Mingshan’s study...

Pushing the door slightly open, Huo Feng poked his head in and cautiously looked at Huo Mingshan seated behind the desk.

At that moment, Huo Mingshan was working on a thesis on his laptop. Interrupted by Huo Feng, his eyebrows furrowed, indicating his mood wasn’t good.

Huo Feng was good at reading expressions. Seeing that Huo Mingshan looked somewhat displeased, he slightly toned down his approach and then said, "Old Huo, is the perfume I gave you any good?"

Huo Mingshan crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow high, "Haven’t used it yet. Why? Came to ask for a product review?"

Huo Feng then said, "Have you read the letter yet?"

Huo Mingshan was silent for a moment, nodding, "It’s not even written by you."

Huo Feng chuckled awkwardly for a second and laughed, "Well, it still represents my feelings! Seeing how I wrote you a letter last time and you didn’t reply, I had to get someone to polish it a bit and write you another one."

Huo Mingshan’s eyebrow remained cocked high, skeptical of Huo Feng’s slick words.

However, his expression softened a bit, seemingly somewhat affected by Huo Feng’s smooth talk.

"So, why didn’t you reply to my letter?" Huo Feng asked again.

Huo Mingshan replied sternly, "That letter was written by Sangzhi, not you. I had no intention of replying to your one-liner."

Huo Feng almost cursed, but he held back!

"How did you know... it was written by Sangzhi?"

Huo Feng had to muster up a forced grin, "You see, I just wanted to please you, so I specifically asked Sangzhi to ghostwrite this letter; it was a heartfelt effort! Aren’t you a bit touched?"

Huo Mingshan was taken aback, "Are you sure Sangzhi only ghostwrote it?"

Huo Feng nodded, "Truly just ghostwriting. What was written was my heartfelt words! Of course, she has a flair for words, so she beautified the content with some nice phrases."

Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "So, are you touched or not?"

Huo Mingshan’s expression changed slightly, becoming significantly more relaxed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed, "Touched, not really... more like surprised. Ahem..."

Huo Mingshan cleared his throat, "You’ve been sticking close to Sangzhi lately; you do seem somewhat changed. There are many things about her worth learning, you should pick up more from her."

Seeing that Huo Mingshan finally looked pleased, Huo Feng took a risk, "Look, I’ve been behaving so well; shouldn’t I get some reward?"

Huo Mingshan frowned, "Hmm?"

Huo Feng continued, "About the 3000 yuan cologne. The birthday red envelope and New Year red envelopes from grandpa all went into it. Look, you’ve had your fun; couldn’t you compensate me a little?"

Wanting cashback for a gift?

So, this gift... was just for fun?

Huo Feng pinched his thumb and forefinger together, asking, "How about it? Just a little token?"

"1000, how about that? I’m not greedy, not half, just one-third..."

", take another 10% off, 900! A father-son affection discount!"

Huo Mingshan roared, "Get out!"

Huo Feng’s heart jolted, and he immediately turned and left the study! Closing the door behind him!
