Song Jinning looked uneasy and afraid. Her pretty phoenix eyes shimmered—she looked as though she was about to cry.
She glanced timidly in Huo Guanchen's direction, but he remained as he were: seated beside his father with a heavy frown on his face. It was clear he did not want to look at her. The tears threatened to spill from Song Jinning's eyes.
"Auntie Xing, Auntie You, take Second Aunt upstairs, now." Huo Jialan frantically gave the instructions to send Song Jinning out the room.
Gu Nianzhi jaw dropped when she heard Huo Jialan address the woman as "Second Aunt."
Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, was Huo Jialan's second uncle. "Second aunt" would therefore refer to his wife.
The woman could not possibly be older than 30. Was she Huo Shaoheng's step-mother?
Gu Nianzhi's mind raced. She snuck a look at Huo Shaoheng.
