e drugging, Huo Chenxi had dismissed all the household staff. She was now in charge of everything from housekeeping to cooking, cleaning, gardening and more. Under her mother-in-law He Suwen's scrutin...After sending Gu Qingcheng home, Su He received a phone call from Huo Yirou inviting her for coffee.

Ho Yi-rou's voice sounded listless, as if she was in low spirits.

Su He greeted Gu Qingcheng and, knowing she was going to meet Huo Yirou, Gu Qingcheng gave her a few reminders and instructed the driver to take Su He to the cafe.

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

"Have a cup of coffee at night and you won't be afraid to stay up." Su He walked over and joked.

"I can't sleep even if I don't drink," Huo Yirou mumbled. She called over a waiter and ordered Su He a cup of coffee, "They have a new item here, supposedly very good, you should try it!"

Looking at Huo Yirou's lemon water in the glass in front of her, Su He knew she was pretending to ask: "Just ordered one glass, you don't drink"

Huo Yirou showed a conflicted expression, then gritted her teeth and raised her hand, deciding to call the waiter over for another cup of coffee.

Why would she change her hobbies and habits for a scared 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 feigned composure, raising her glass of lemonade to take a sip.

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

"…" Huo Yirou let out a sigh, her whole body seemed drained of energy. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Qin Shi and I, we're over for good!"

What happened

"I went to look for Qin Shi this morning and found another woman lying in his bed." Huo Yirou chuckled self-deprecatingly. "For so many years, he said he didn't want to marry me, and I said I wouldn't marry him either. I didn't expect that only what he said was true."

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

Huo Yirou leaned her head against Su He's shoulder, unable to hold back the day's frustration any longer. Tears 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 set for her.

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

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

From what time did Qin come into her heart without warning

Was it her being deliberately pushed into the fountain, Qin Shi jumping in without hesitation to save her Or was it Qin Shi standing before those elderly students who were bullying her, declaring that she was his person, telling them to stay away from her

Deeply aware of her humble origins and family background that did not match his, even becoming his fiancée was due to bad luck. Huo Yirou desperately tried to prove herself.

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

Before that, she desperately suppressed the flutter in her heart, only so she could stand beside him and confidently tell everyone, she deserved him.

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

On that night of drunken chaos, she wasn't completely oblivious.

She knew that Qin Shi did not either.

From a medical standpoint, men who are truly drunk can't possibly react that way, let alone do those things.

She thought Qin Shi was like her, perhaps for face or to protest the family's arrangements, so she spoke insincerely with words that didn't come from her heart.

Until I saw with my own eyes a different woman lying in bed during the Qin dynasty.

At that moment, she felt as if the meticulously crafted future city she had built crumbled and shattered into dust.

Originally, everything Qin Shi had done all these years was only because she was Huo Chen Xi's sister. It was her own infatuation.

Perhaps, Big Brother feels about Bai Yihuan the same way Qin Shi felt about me. " Huo Yirou raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, 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 eventually felt pity and let her continue.

"Twenty years ago, there was a kidnapping case that shook the entire country of Z. " Huo Yirou looked at Su He and smiled wryly, "We were still young back then!"

That kidnapping case was carefully planned by a group of young people with extremely distorted and deviant personalities who formed an anti-rich group.

They target families on the rich list, kidnapping children of wealthy families by using introductions to get in touch with housekeepers and tutors, among others. They operate across the country.

From the Imperial Capital to City A, almost every prominent family was affected.

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

Those depraved kidnappers took sadistic pleasure in torturing them, not even demanding ransom. Every day, they would select one of the kidnapped children to torture to death.

Ho Chenxi was less than eight years old at the time, but his precocity protected Qin Shi, Jian Song, and Zhao Binrui, a group of A city children.

This is also the reason why they listened to Huo Shenxi during the Qin dynasty.

Ho Yi-rou's biological father owed Ho Chen-xi a favor, so when no one else in the Huo family liked Ho Yi-rou, only Ho Chen-xi took care of her.

During the Qin Dynasty, he constantly criticized her verbally but protected her when things got tough. 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 Yi Zhao, was also kidnapped at the time. He was tortured to death right 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, it was as if she had witnessed a gruesome scene.

"Originally, it was the eldest brother who was chosen. Bai Yi zhao knew about the eldest brother's escape plan, so he volunteered to take his place." Huo Yirou lowered her eyes, "His last instructions were to ask the eldest brother to look after Bai Yi Huan for him."

He Yi-rou disliked Bai Yihuan's pretentiousness and hated that Huo Chenxi wanted her to give in to Bai Yihuan.

It wasn't until she learned about Bai Yizhao's situation that she stopped targeting Bai Yihuan.

Su He's pupils trembled violently.

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

She always thought that 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 Chenxi and Bai Yihuan.

“After all these years, actually Big Brother hasn't fully come out of what happened back then.” Huo Yirou lowered her eyelids and revealed Huo Chen Xi’s secret, “Sister-in-law, Big Brother 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 choosing a major, Huo Yirou specifically chose psychology, largely because of Huo Chenxi.

Su He had thought she'd long since gotten over Huo Chen Xi, but hearing Huo Yi Rou talk about his past, she couldn't help but recall their time together. Her heart suddenly ached like it was pricked by a needle.

Initially, she was drawn to Huo Chenxi because she saw the softness hidden beneath his seemingly cold exterior.

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

She raised her hand through the car window, her lips moving rapidly inside the car as if she were angrily scolding someone.

Despite the distance between them, Su He couldn't hear what she was saying. Yet, he inexplicably read his own name from He Suwen's slightly parted lips.

"That's Big Brother's car." Noticing Su He was lost in thought, Huo Yirou followed her gaze and immediately recognized Huo Chen Xi's car. Seeing He Suwen yelling at the person inside, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Huo Chen Xi, "For so many years, Big Brother has to endure her temper for how long!"rything she needs must be the best.”She didn't believe that this would be enough to stimulate Su He.Su He's footsteps faltered, and a sneer crept across her pale face.She came back, and it was right!S...
