Hatred surge in Zhang Yuechanâs heart. The person in front of her was toying with her. He did not care and did not want to offend Sixth Brother. Ah Zhenâs death was definitely not an accident. It must have been Huo Ci, that bastard, who killed him. âBig Brother, only you can help me. Help Ah Zhen. If you donât help me, I⦠I might as well accompany Ah Zhen!â
With that, she stood up and made up her mind. She took two quick steps and slammed her head against the wall.
Huo Ting was quick, he grabbed her arm and frowned. There was obvious impatience in his eyes. âSister-in-law, donât take things too hard. If Second Brother passes, you still have Ah Ze, Ah Cong, Xuâer, and Linâer. You should think about your descendants. If they lost you too, how are they going to survive?â
The Huo family seemed to be harmonious, but which family didnât have thoughts of getting more inheritance? They all wanted more assets and money. In his fatherâs eyes, he was an incompetent person who didnât fought for anything. His father had always disliked him the most, so the heir he chose to inherit his wealth was the Second Brother.
Even though the Second Brother had tried to kill the Sixth Brother back then, his father had only broken his legs to teach him a lesson. In the future, he would still be in charge of the Huo Familyâs business.
The brothers in the family all knew that the person their father had his eyes on the most was actually Sixth Brother. However, the Sixth Brother wasnât in the Huo Familyâs business. He was focused on enjoying life in the entertainment industry, so he could only settle for the next best thing and place his hopes on Second Brother.
âBig Brother, if you donât agree to it today, Iâm not going to live anymore. Iâm going with Ah Zhen.â Zhang Yuechan cried pitifully. âAh Zhen, what sins have I committed? Why didnât you take me with you?â
âSister-in-law, before Dadâs illness acted up, Second Brother went to look for him!â Huo Ting was actually unwilling to mention this matter, but since she was being unreasonable, he had to settle the score with her. âHow exactly did Dadâs illness act up? Heâs now lying unconscious in the hospital, you and the Second Brother should know best!â
Zhang Yuechanâs body stiffened and her gaze wavered. She quickly calmed herself down and cried out at the top of her voice, âAh Zhen, you should take me with you. Youâre already gone, and your dear brother still wants to push the blame onto you.â
âDonât cry in front of me.â Huo Ting was already annoyed. His eyes were cold. It wasnât that he didnât want to help, but he couldnât. He didnât dare to help. âDonât blame me for being heartless, everything happens for a reason. Your husband and you knew what the Second Brother did.â
He wasnât a fool who would listen to whatever people said. As the elder brother, he knew better than anyone else what his Second Brother was. He wanted to hide the dirty thoughts in his heart from anyone. Usually, he appeared to be aloof from worldly affairs and devoted himself to business.
But in reality? He was petty. The grudge between him and Sixth Brother was like a thorn in his heart that would be pulled out sooner or later.
âBig Brother, Iâm the one who doesnât know how to read people. Big Brother isnât willing to help because heâs afraid of Sixth Brother, so I wonât force him. Iâll handle Ah Zhenâs matter myself. I wonât let him pass on without getting this resolved.â Zhang Yuechan pushed Huo Ting away and turned to leave.
âSister-in-law, as the elder brother, let me give you a kind reminder. Let Second Brotherâs matter pass. Itâs not good for anyone to pursue it.â Huo Tingâs eyes were deep. âThe dead are already dead. The living should live well and not cause trouble for themselves.â
âThank you for your reminder, Big Brother.â Zhang Yuechan enunciated each word as hatred surged in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and dug her fingers into her palms before turning around to leave.
When Jiang Meiyun saw Zhang Yuechan leave, she walked out of the bedroom and said, âHubby, letâs not get involved in the matters of the second branch. If we anger the Sixth Brother, how will that bastard deal with us?â
The men of the Huo Family were all bark and no bite. They said whatever they wanted, but when push came to shove, they were useless. With the death of the Second Brother, the rest of them were as obedient as quails. No one dared to speak up for fear that the Sixth Brother would deal with them.
âDonât talk nonsense when you go out, especially in the next two days. There will be many people coming to pay their respects, so watch your mouth.â Huo Ting knew that she was a loose-lipped person who dared to say anything.
âDo you think Iâm stupid? Why would I run my mouth off?â Zhang Yuechan frowned and lowered her voice mysteriously. âDo you really think Sixth Brother did this?â
âI just told you not to spout nonsense.â Huo Ting glared at her and lectured her with a dark face. âWe brothers of the Huo family love each other. Why would we do something as bad as killing each other?â
Zhang Yuechan reached out and hit him. âDonât think that Iâm a fool. I know everything.â
Even if Sixth Brother wasnât the one who killed Second Brother, his death definitely had something to do with him. However, the Second Brother wasnât a good person either. Old Master was in good health, why did he suddenly collapse after meeting him?
In just a few days, he had been resuscitated several times and was still in the ICU!
If Old Masterâs illness was caused by anger towards the Second Brother, then he deserved to die.
The Huo family had always followed the traditional funeral procession, so they didnât go to the funeral parlor. Huo Zhenâs mourning hall was placed in the Huo familyâs main residence. The black and white photos were surrounded by chrysanthemums, wreaths and couplets sent by family and friends.
Apart from Su Xiyin, who was accompanying the Old Master in the hospital, everyone in the Huo family was busy greeting the guests who came to pay their respects.
As the granddaughter of the Huo family, Ling Shengâs second uncle had passed away, so she naturally had to help out at home. However, Xiaoqi was a child, so it was not good for him to be in a place with dead people. He was afraid that the dead people would spook him, so he was taken away by Ji Fanchen and Cheng Ye to play.
Huo Xuanzhou stood beside Ling Sheng and looked at Huo Zhenâs black and white photo. There was no sadness in his eyes, but there was a tinge of sorrow. âLittle Sister, from now on, you can do whatever you want in the Huo family.â
âMe? Doing whatever I want? Who do you think I am?â Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him. However, she realized that after she returned, no matter what she did, the aunts would fight to stop her. The uncles looked at her with fear in their eyes.
She knew that Huo Zhen didnât die from a sudden relapse. He was killed because he deserved it. He was the one who caused Grandpaâs relapse and Grandmaâs pain.
Xiaoqi was kidnapped and almost sold into the Dark Net. He was the mastermind and she had always been ruthless to her enemies..n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
