The marriage between the Huo Family and the Cao Family was quickly decided. Due to the fact that Cao Ming was injured and hospitalized, the wedding was not grand. Huo Sisiâs legs were also injured, so she was sent to the hospital to be hospitalized with Cao Ming.
In just two days, Huo Sisi looked extremely haggard.
After sending her to the hospital, she was naturally arranged to be in the same ward as Cao Ming.
On that day, Xiang Jie even went to the hospital to mock Huo Sisi. Huo Sisi actually did not refute her, so Xiang Jie felt that it was meaningless and left.
However, after they closed the door, the Cao Family was very rude to Huo Sisi.
That was not all. After successfully getting the marriage certificate, Cao Mingâs attitude towards Huo Sisi was not as good as before. He beat and scolded her at every turn.
This was even when Cao Ming was injured and could not get out of bed.
One could imagine what kind of life Huo Sisi would have after she was discharged and returned to the Cao Family.
It must be very âlivelyâ for a couple with crippled legsâ¦
Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu didnât care about this.
The two of them finally got rid of Huo Sisi and felt much better.
In addition, Yin Jiujin was coming to South City from the capital today, so Yan Jinyuâs mood was even better.
âBeauty Yu, do you really not need me to go to the airport with you?â
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, âThereâs no need to. Just lend me a car.â
Donât ask how Yan Jinyu, who had just turned 18 years old and hadnât gone for the exam, get her driverâs license from. There was really no license that she couldnât get if she wanted one.
And it was definitely genuine identification.
After helping her put her luggage in the trunk, Huo Siyu asked, âAre you not going back to the Huo Family later?â
âNo, Iâve booked a hotel. Iâll call you over for dinner tonight.â
âAlright, inform me when you book a restaurant.â
After putting down the luggage and closing the trunk, Huo Siyu looked at Yan Jinyu, âBeauty Yu, actually, after settling Huo Sisi, Iâm quite bored in South City.â
Yan Jinyu smiled, âThen you can go to North City or go on a vacation somewhere else?â
North City?
Huo Siyuâs lips twitched.
Better not.
She couldnât stand Yin Jiujinâs jealous gazes.
Travel elsewhere?
She didnât seem to be in the mood either.
âForget it. Iâll stay at home for a few days. Beauty Yu, when do you plan to go to the capital? Iâll call my brother along. I believe in another 10 to 15 days, we should be able to completely settle the matter that trapped my brother. Speaking of which, your Brother Nine is really ruthless.â
âItâs right to seek revenge, but this is too ruthless.â
Yan Jinyu chuckled, âLittle Rain, if you canât stand it anymore, you can help your brother.â
Huo Siyu quickly shook her head. âNo, no, no. I wonât get involved in the Huo Familyâs business. Not now, not in the future either. I want to be someone who only knows how to eat and play.â
Yan Jinyu shook her head and smiled. She opened the car door. âLetâs go.â
The car engine started and they left the Huo Familyâs mansion in no time.
When Huo Siyu returned to the Huo Familyâs main building, Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang were still sitting in the living room.
Huo Xuan was also there.
Huo Xuan didnât go to the office this morning.
Huo Xuan was standing upstairs watching when Huo Siyu sent Yan Jinyu off.
âJinyu left?â Sun Xiangxiang asked.
âMm-hm.â
She looked at Huo Xuan, âBrother, arenât you going to the office today?â
âIâll go later.â
âCome and sit,â Huo Xuan said.
He looked a little inscrutable.
Huo Siyu paused for a moment, but she still walked over and sat down.
Some things had to be faced.
Sun Xiangxiang looked at her. As she looked at her, her eyes turned red. âItâs our fault. If we didnât adopt Huo Sisi in the early years, there wouldnât be so much trouble now.â
âMom, you donât have to apologize for this. You and Dad adopted Huo Sisi because you miss me, right?â
âBut if we didnât adopt Huo Sisi, you wouldnât have⦠Something almost happened at home when you just came home. Why didnât you say it out loud when you were suspicious? You actually took the risk yourself. If we didnât arrive in time in the end, youâ¦â
Huo Siyu lowered her eyes and looked up at her with a faint smile. âMom, if I said that Huo Sisi wanted to harm me back then and I couldnât produce any evidence, would you believe me or Huo Sisi?â
Sun Xiangxiang was stunned.
She looked regretful. âItâs Momâs fault.â
âSince itâs already in the past, Mom, donât mention it again.â
However, Huo Xuan suddenly said, âIf you told me back then, I would believe you unconditionally.â
This time, it was Huo Siyu who was stunned. She looked at him and smiled. âBrother, donât think too much. Just take it that Iâm still not familiar with you guys at that time and canât give you all my trust.â
It was fine if she didnât say that, but once she did, the three of them felt even more upset.
Huo Siyu also realized it and pretended to be relaxed. âAiya, thatâs all in the past. Why are you still mentioning it? Speaking of which, if it wasnât for these things, Mom and Dad probably wouldnât have realized that Huo Sisi was hiding her thoughts until now.â
âSpeaking of which, itâs all Brotherâs fault for being too outstanding. Itâs inevitable that others will covet you.â
âMom, which family has a suitable daughter? Can you help my brother find a suitable one? Iâm already engaged, but Brother isnât. It seems a little outrageous.â
Over the past few days, she had realized that although her brother and Beauty Yu did not have much contact, the way his brother looked at Beauty Yu had slowly changed.
It was all Beauty Yuâs fault for being too charming. She was the one who made the most moves in the Huo Family. Beauty Yu was obviously so low-key, but her brother still noticed her.
If Beauty Yu didnât have any feelings for Yin Jiujin, it was also a good thing that her brother had feelings for her. After all, one shouldnât let benefits go to others. However, Beauty Yu cared about Yin Jiujin very much.
This way, if her brother had any thoughts about Beauty Yu, he would only end up sad.
She didnât want that to happen.
This was also one of the reasons Beauty Yu wanted to leave.
When she said that, not only Sun Xiangxiang and Huo Lin, but even Huo Xuan was stunned.
Huo Xuan seemed to have thought of something.
No one knew what he was thinking about.
Sun Xiangxiang knew that Huo Xuan didnât want to talk about this. She glanced at Huo Xuan and said to Huo Siyu hesitantly, âI-Iâll help your brother take note.â
âDonât worry about me,â Huo Xuan said to Huo Siyu as he calmed down.
âI asked you here because I have something important to ask you.â
Businessâ¦
The smile in Huo Siyuâs eyes deepened.
âWhat do you want to ask me, Brother?â
Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang didnât say anything. It was unknown if Huo Xuan had told them in advance or if they had also seen something and guessed that Huo Xuan would ask.
âSince you said that you fell into Huo Sisiâs trap on purpose at the banquet, that means you knew that there was something wrong with that glass of wine from the beginning.â
âSince you know, why did you drink it? Arenât you afraid that something will really happen?â
âDidnât nothing happen?â Huo Siyu replied carelessly.
âWhy would Brother pursue something that didnât happen?â
Huo Xuan looked at her deeply, âAlright, I wonât pursue this matter anymore. Then, how do you explain the two gunshots you gave Huo Sisi? Not to mention that youâre skilled at holding a gun, how could a teenage girl like you not even blink under such circumstances?â
âBrother, are you⦠questioning me?â
Looking into her smiling eyes, Huo Xuan suddenly panicked a little and hurriedly explained, âIâm not questioning you. I just want to understand you better.â His tone softened a little.
âRainy, donât think too much. Your brother and we have no intention of questioning you. We just want to understand you more. After all, all these yearsâ¦â
Huo Siyu looked at them. âI know. Youâre doing this for my own good.â
âBrother, why do you have to investigate further? You and I are biological siblings. Everyone knows how you do things. Perhaps, Iâm as ruthless as you in my bones?â
âBesides, Huo Sisi schemed against me. Do I have to repay evil with kindness and pity her? Iâm not that kind of person.â
Huo Xuan looked at her.
She knew that was not what he was askingâ¦
Forget it.
If she didnât want to say it, so be it. Donât make the relationship that she had finally eased up with them so distant again.
âVery good. Youâre indeed my sister. You will do this in the future. You canât show mercy to your enemies.â
ââ¦â Huo Siyu. So what was the point of asking her in such a serious tone?
ââ¦â Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang.
In the end, Huo Siyu laughed dryly.
However, after this, she became even closer to these family members.
***
At the airport, Yan Jinyu found a parking spot and parked the car before walking towards the exit of the airport.
It was cold in South City, so she was dressed a little too much. She was wearing a white down jacket and a black hat on her head. Under the hat, her long hair was down. She had a black-and-white scarf around her neck.
A scarf was wrapped around her face.
Even so, she was still very conspicuous standing in the crowd. From time to time, passers-by would look in her direction.
It was probably because her aura could not be concealed.
Even passers-by had noticed her, let alone Yin Jiujin.
The moment Yin Jiujin walked out, he locked onto her.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, and the scarf around his neck was matching Yan Jinyuâs.
Some people were like this. They formed a nice scenery wherever they stood. Even though Yin Jiujin wore sunglasses to cover most of his face, he was still the most conspicuous person among the group of people on the same flight.
He dragged his black luggage and walked towards Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu didnât move. She just stood there and smiled as she watched him walk towards her.
After walking closer and letting go of the luggage, Yin Jiujin pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. âWhy are you still here on such a cold day? Didnât you say that you would wait for me at the hotel?â
Yan Jinyu shrank into his arms. âDidnât Brother Nine personally come to South City to pick me up on such a cold day too? Actually, you can go back to North City and wait for me. I can go back by myself.â
Yin Jiujin let go of her a little and flicked her forehead. âWhen will you go back if I donât pick you up personally?â
Yan Jinyu rubbed her aching head and looked at him angrily, âItâs only been a few days.â
âAnd Brother Nine, you canât flick my forehead like that anymore. Why are you still doing it?â
Her big round eyes were filled with accusation.
She even sounded a little coquettish.
Yin Jiujinâs heart stirred when he saw this. His fingers twitched before he finally raised his hand to pinch her face. âSilly.â
He almost couldnât help but kiss her in public.
He took her hand but realized that she was not wearing any gloves. He simply held her hands in his and rubbed them together.
Yan Jinyuâs eyes were filled with smiles.
âRemember to wear gloves when you go out next time.â
Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled foolishly. Then, in the next second, she stood on her tiptoes and reached under his scarf, pressing her hands against his neck. âThey are warm like this.â
Yin Jiujin let her be and looked at her through his sunglasses.
His eyes that were covered by his sunglasses were filled with doting smiles.
About a minute later, he took her hand out and held it in his palm. He held her hand with one hand and pulled his luggage with the other. âLetâs go.â
The man was tall and the woman was petite.
The man held the girlâs hand steadily while the girl skipped along.
There was no overly intimate action, but it was filled with pink bubbles.
The passers-by at the side kept screaming âtoo lovey-doveyâ.
