Chapter 782: Didn’t Want To Show Her Face For A Good Reason

Tong Yu put his phone away when Huo Yao came in and wished her a happy birthday. He beamed as he said, “What do you think? Were you surprised?”

Since Huo Yao genuinely did not see this coming, she nodded.

Moments later, she asked nervously. “How much did it cost for you to rent 3586 aerial drones?”

Tong Yu was caught by surprise. He looked at Huo Yao quizzically. “How did you know there were over 3000 drones?”

Even he was incapable of remembering the precise number. He did vaguely remember that the last number was six.

Huo Yao raised her hand. “Anyone with eyes can tell. How much did it cost?”

Tong Yu could sense contempt oozing from Huo Yao. However, he automatically replied. “About $300 000. I got a discount, so it was a good deal.”

The aerial drones only appeared in the air for a few minutes before they disappeared. He was such a wastrel!

Huo Yao instantly had trouble breathing. She did not continue talking and went backstage to get changed.

Tong Yu watched as Huo Yao suddenly left dejectedly and scratched his head in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Huo Xiang came over and noticed the strange look on Tong Yu’s face. “What’s wrong?”

Tong Yu turned his head to look at Huo Xiang and told him about Huo Yao’s question.

Huo Xiang pressed his forehead and said, “Don’t ever talk to my little sister about money from now on.”

After spending so much time with her, he more or less knew that she was a miser.

Tong Yu felt even more puzzled.

$300 000 meant nothing to a top celebrity like Huo Xiang. It was no different than pulling some hair from the back of a cow.

Huo Xiang did not bother explaining and got his makeup artist to remove his makeup.

After Huo Yao got changed, she checked all the text messages she had received. Some of them had texted to wish her a happy birthday while a lot of people had sent her red packets.

She accepted the red packets one after another before she finally felt better.

A social media notification popped up on the screen and it was about the concert tonight. Huo Yao tapped on it and noticed that it was a perfectly normal post. However, she felt a little worried when she saw her pictures online.

She did not like to show her face for a good reason.

Then again, there was probably no need for such caution. After all, everyone was different.

Huo Yao stopped looking at her social media account. She put her phone away and went outside.

By the time they got home, it was already past 1:00 am. Huo Yao took a bath and fell into a deep sleep before long.

Huo Yao woke up on time the next morning. She had planned on sleeping in, but she got out of bed when she received a text notification from her next-door neighbor.

She put on her sportswear and went downstairs.

Goofy had put on a lot of weight. The moment he heard the noise, he ran over to Huo Yao enthusiastically from his bed.

Huo Yao reached her hand out and touched his head. She was wondering why her second older brother suddenly showed up with his dog and stayed over for two days.

If Huo Xiang did not celebrate her birthday last night, she would have forgotten about the event.

“Let’s go for a walk.” Huo Yao walked towards the doorway and retrieved Goofy’s leash. She put it on for him before they left the villa.

Although Goofy was not a full-grown dog, he was an energetic husky, so he was particularly delighted when she brought him out.

The two of them ran towards the lake and saw Min Yu standing in the distance dressed in his sportswear as well.

Huo Yao walked towards Min Yu with Goofy.
