Chapter 33: Final Words

aring him say this, his face instantly turned ugly.Shen Ruifeng deliberately embarrassed him and immediately called security personnel to check the invitation level in public."Mr. Huo, your invitation...After seeing Gu Qingcheng home, Su He received a call from Huo Yirou, who invited her for coffee.

Huo Yirou's voice sounded listless, as if she was in low spirits.

Su He and Gu Qingcheng greeted each other. Knowing that she was going to meet Huo Yirou, Gu Qingcheng reminded her a few things and instructed the driver to take Su He to the cafe.

When Su He arrived, Huo Yiyou was already sitting by the window waiting for her.

"Having coffee at night won't keep me up." Su He walked over and joked.

"I can't sleep even if I don't drink." Huo Yirou mumbled, reaching out to call the waiter and ordering a cup of coffee for Su He, "They have a new product here, it's supposed to be very good, try it!"

Looking at Huo Yirou's glass of lemonade in front of her, Su He knew she was just asking: "You only ordered one drink You're not going to have it"

Ho Yi-rou showed hesitation, then made up her mind and gritted her teeth to raise her hand, intending to call the waiter over for another cup of coffee.

Why would she change her hobbies and habits for a frightened egg that may not even exist

Su He lowered her hand halfway and sighed helplessly, "What happened"

"Do I look like something's wrong" Huo Yirou pretended to be calm, picked up a glass of lemonade and took a sip.

Su He nodded. "Not only is there something, it's a big deal."

"... Huo Yirou sighed, her whole body seemed to be drained of energy. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Qin Shi and I are completely over!"

What happened

"I went to look for Qin Shi this morning, and found another woman lying in his bed." Huo Yirou laughed self-deprecatingly, "For so many years, he said he didn't want to marry me, and I said I wasn't willing to marry him either. I never expected that only what he said was true."

Feeling the coldness of Huo Yirou's palm, Su He knew that she didn't want to hear comforting words at this time. He just gently patted Huo Yirou's hand, signaling that she was always there.

Huo Yirou leaned her head against Su He's shoulder, the day's frustration finally overwhelming her. Tears welled up in her eyes and silently slid down her cheeks.

From the first day she met Qin Shi, she knew that she was the little daughter-in-law he had chosen for him.

These years, it wasn't because of the Qin family's influence. Even if Grandma Huo wanted to protect her, the second branch of the Huo family, who had always thought she was a jinx, would have driven her out long ago.

Having always refused to admit she was weaker than others, when Qin said he didn't like her and didn't want to marry her, she immediately responded without weakness, telling him that she didn't want to marry him either.

From when did Qin Shi quietly move into her heart without a warning

It was her being deliberately pushed into the fountain by someone, Qin Shi jumped down without hesitation to save her, or maybe it was Qin Shi standing in front of those bullies who were harassing her elderly student, declaring that she was his person and telling them to stay away from her.

Knowing her background and family were unworthy of him, and that she even became his fiancee was due to her bad luck, Huo Yirou desperately tried to prove herself.

She studied hard, even getting into the program of an internationally renowned professor, all so that she could be worthy of him.

Before that, she suppressed the flutter in her heart with all her might, just so she could stand by his side and confidently tell everyone, she deserved him.

When she studied abroad, what supported her through the hardships was the fantasy of a future life.

On that drunken, chaotic night, she wasn't completely out of it.

She knew Qin Shi didn't either.

From a medical standpoint, it's impossible for a man to be so intoxicated that he would react like that, let alone do those things.

She thought Qin Shi was like her, perhaps for face, or perhaps to protest her family's arrangements, so she spoke insincerely.

Not until I saw with my own eyes another woman lying in bed where Qin usually slept.

At that moment, she felt as if the carefully constructed future city she had envisioned crumbled and shattered into dust.

It turned out that all Qin had done over the years was because she was Huo Chenxi's sister. She had been infatuated with him all along.

"Perhaps, Big Brother feels about Bai Yihuan the same way Qin Shi felt about me." Huo Yirou reached up to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye, and when she looked up again, her expression had returned to normal.

Su He didn't want to hear about Huo Chen Xi, but seeing Huo Yi Rou's strong facade, she finally couldn't bear it and let her continue.

"Twenty years ago, there was a sensational kidnapping case that shook the whole nation of Z Country," Huo Yirou looked at Su He and forced a smile. "Back then, we were just kids!"

That kidnapping case was meticulously planned by a group of young people with severely distorted personalities and extreme sociopathy who formed an anti-rich organization.

They target families listed on the Forbes richest list, kidnapping children of wealthy families by showcasing their servants and tutors in a captivating introduction. They operate across the nation, aiming for the vulnerable offspring of the elite.

From the Imperial City to City A, almost every family in line for succession was spared no fate.

Ho Chenxi, Qin Shi, Jian Song, Zhao Binrui are all among them.

Those depraved kidnappers took pleasure in tormenting them, not even asking for ransom. Each day, they would choose one of the kidnapped children to torture to death.

At that time, Huo Chenxi was less than eight years old, but he protected Qin Shi, Jian Song, and Zhao Binrui, a group of children from City A, thanks to his precocity.

This is also why they obeyed Huo Shenxi's words during the Qin Dynasty.

Huo Yirou's biological father owed Huo Chenxi a favor, so while no one else in the Huo family liked Huo Yirou, only Huo Chenxi took care of her.

During the Qin dynasty, he verbally criticized her in every way but protected her when things went wrong. He was probably like Jian Song and Zhao Binrui, because she was Huo Chenxi's beloved sister.

“Actually, that kidnapping case also left a shadow on Big Brother.” Huo Yirou sighed. “I heard Qin Shi say that Bai Yihuan’s biological brother, Bai Yiqiao, was also kidnapped at the time. He was tortured to death in front of Big Brother.”

Su He's eyes widened instantly. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, just hearing Huo Yirou say this, she felt as if she had witnessed a tragic scene.

"The one originally chosen was the eldest brother. Bai Yiqiao knew about the eldest brother's escape plan, so he volunteered to take his place." Huo Yirou lowered her eyes, "His last instruction was to ask the eldest brother to take care of Bai Yihuan for him."

Ho Yirou dislikes Bai Yihuan's fake and insincere behavior. She even hates that Huo Chenxi wants her to give in to Bai Yihuan.

Not until she learned about Bai Yi-xiao's affairs did she stop targeting Bai Yi-huan.

Su He's pupils dilated violently.

Between her and Bai Yihuan, Huo Chenxi would always choose Bai Yihuan without any hesitation.

She always thought that it was because they had grown up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, falling in love over time.

I never thought that there would be such a tangle between Huo Shenxi and Bai Yihuan.

"All these years have passed, but actually, Big Bro hasn't fully gotten over what happened back then." Huo Yirou lowered her eyelashes and revealed Huo Chen Xi's secret, "Sister-in-law, Big Bro isn't as ruthless and heartless as he appears."

He took on too many responsibilities that weren't his, to the point where he forgot himself.

When she first chose her major, Huo Yirou specifically picked psychology. A big part of the reason was for Huo Chenxi.

Su He had thought she had long since let go of Huo Chen Xi, but hearing Huo Yi Rou speak about his past, she couldn't help but recall bits and pieces from their time together. Her heart suddenly felt like it was being pricked by a needle, a dull ache spreading through her.

At first, she fell for Huo Chenxi because she saw the tenderness beneath his seemingly cold exterior.

Su He turned his head to look out the window and unexpectedly saw a familiar car. He Suwen, full of anger, got out of the car.

She raised her hand from inside the car, her lips moving rapidly as if she were scolding someone fiercely.

Although there was a distance between them, Su He couldn't hear what she was saying. Yet, from the subtle movement of He Suwen's lips, he inexplicably read his own name.

“That’s Big Bro’s car.” Noticing Su He’s absentmindedness, Huo Yirou followed her gaze and immediately recognized Huo Chen Xi’s car. Seeing He Suwen shouting at the people in the car, she couldn’t help but speak up for Huo Chen Xi, “For so many years, how much longer will Big Bro have to endure her temper!”ly sized up Shen Rufeng, trying to glean some clues from his expression.Only Shen Xinfan, who knew about everything that happened last night, was hunched over his bowl, shoveling down his food.After s...
