Chapter 128: Has Verbal Virtuosity Failed?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Yao was playing video games but when she heard Huo Buyu greeting his grandfather over the phone, she immediately leaned over to listen.
Huo Buyu pushed Ye Yao’s head away with disdain on his face. Then, under Ye
Yao’s fawning gaze, he hit the speaker button.
Old Master Huo’s mature and deep voice came from the other end of the phone. “Huo Buyu, I heard that you sold all of your Qin Corporation shares for the sake of a woman?”
Ye Yao looked up in disbelief. She hadn’t heard Huo Buyu mention this! When did he sell the shares of the Qin Corporation? Why didn’t he tell her, so that at least she could feel touched by it!
Ye Yao grinned and kissed Huo Buyu on the cheek. Then, she made a heart gesture at the man.
Huo Buyu was speechless. He said to Old Master Huo, “Grandpa, it’s my girlfriend, not any other women.”
“Nonsense! Did I agree?” Old Master Huo was furious. “I’ve already said that your girlfriend can only be Qin Jiao or Jiang Yun! You chose Qin Jiao previously. After that incident, it’s already a blessing for the Qin family that we decided not to find trouble with them. There’s no longer any possibility between you and Qin Jiao, so your girlfriend can only be Jiang Yun now. Huo Buyu, break up with your current girlfriend immediately!”
Ye Yao was stunned to hear what Old Master Huo said. Old Master Huo didn’t like her and was even asking Huo Buyu to break up with her?
Ye Yao lowered his head and started chanting. “Huo Buyu’s grandfather likes me and allows me to be with Huo Buyu.”
When Huo Buyu heard Ye Yao’s words, a smile appeared on his handsome face. Ye Yao’s Verbal Virtuosity skill was quite useful at times!
As soon as Ye Yao finished speaking, Old Master Huo’s voice on the other end of the phone changed. “It’s fine if you don’t break up with your current
girlfriend…”
Ye Yao puffed out his chest and gave Huo Buyu a smug smile that clearly said,
“See, aren’t I smart? There’s no one I can’t handle!”
Old Master Huo then continued, “If you’re unwilling to break up, I’ll help you break up. I’ll give you three days. Do as you see fit!” With that, the elderly man hung up.
Ye Yao and Huo Buyu looked at each other. What was going on? Verbal Virtuosity… wasn’t working?
Ye Yao said awkwardly, “What happened? Did Verbal Virtuosity fail?” Since her capability came inexplicably, it was only expected that it may fail inexplicably, but… she was already used to having this ability. She didn’t want to lose it!
Huo Buyu was rather stunned as well. He was quite confident in Ye Yao’s skill. She had used it for so long. It was impossible that it should suddenly disappear, right? But just then, the technique had indeed not worked on his grandfather.
Huo Buyu said in a low voice, “Try saying something else.”
Ye Yao said, “The chandelier will fall on your head!”
“You’re crazy!” Huo Buyu reacted quickly. When the chandelier fell from above, he pounced on Ye Yao without thinking twice!
Immediately after, the object fell with a clang, squarely onto the spot where Ye Yao was originally standing. The gorgeous chandelier shattered, and a crystal ball rolled around on the ground. Then, it suddenly bounced and hit Ye Yao on her head.
“Ouch!” Ye Yao’s eyes instantly flashed with tears. It hurts so much, it hurts so much!
When Huo Buyu saw Ye Yao crying in pain, he was both angry and amused. He reached out to rub Ye Yao’s head. “Are you stupid? Why did you use yourself as an experiment?”
Ye Yao said aggrievedly, “My Verbal Virtuosity is no longer effective…” After a while, when it no longer hurt, she tilted her head and said, “Since my Verbal Virtuosity is still working, why wasn’t it effective on your grandfather?”
Huo Buyu fell into deep thought. What was going on? He couldn’t figure it out either.
Ye Yao stroked her chin. “Every time I use my Verbal Virtuosity on you, I have to bear the result of it. Now the Verbal Virtuosity Technique is useless against your grandfather, do you think your family it has to do with some sort of historical relationship between our families? It seems when my Verbal Virtuosity is directed at someone in your family, it won’t work.”
Ye Yao was also starting to be suspicious. For example, some sort of agreement, protection… Perhaps their family’s Verbal Virtuosity ability was used to protect the Huo family!
Huo Buyu didn’t know what was going on either. He didn’t believe in the supernatural, but the strangest thing had happened to his girlfriend.
Huo Buyu took out his phone and placed it on the table. He said to Ye Yao, “Get my elder brother to called me.”
Ye Yao nodded. “Huo Buqi will make a call to Huo Buyu..”
