BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379 - 379 Brotherly Help
Huo Zhou saw Huo Xiaoran and said, “Xiaoran, we’re brothers. Do you have to argue over such a small matter?”
Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “You’re really good. You stabbed my wife in the back for someone else’s woman.”
Huo Zhou said, “I was just anxious and accidentally exposed Qiao An and Xiao Ming’s relationship. I regretted it as soon as I finished speaking. Really.”
When Qiao An heard Huo Zhou and Old Master Huo’s voices, she quickly ran out and opened the door for them.
Huo Zhou was a little embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at Qiao An.
Qiao An didn’t take it personally. She just served them drinks.
Old Master Huo stared at Qiao An. In order to ease the conflict between the young people, Old Master Huo said, “An’an, I brought Huo Zhou here. If you’re unhappy, feel free to scold him.”
Huo Zhou was also discerning and immediately echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. I didn’t do well. My mouth is broken. Qiao An, I apologize to you.”
Qiao An really didn’t mind, but Huo Zhou’s mouth wasn’t tight. Otherwise, who knew how much trouble he would cause in the future? She said, “Cousin, on the account that you helped Brother Xiaoran get out of trouble in the past, I won’t mind. But there won’t be a next time.”
Huo Zhou glanced at the stairs guiltily and said, “Qiao An, you’ve forgiven me, but Xiaoran hasn’t. I only have this one brother. I don’t want to break up with him. Moreover, he’s my savior.”
Qiao An smiled faintly. “Cousin, I’ll call him down.”
Then Qiao An headed upstairs while Huo Zhou waited uneasily.
Old Master Huo saw Huo Zhou’s distracted look and teased, “You asked for it.”
The old man took the opportunity to reprimand Huo Zhou. “I originally thought that you were career-minded, so you didn’t focus on your personal feelings. But I never expected that the reason you didn’t find a girlfriend for so many years was because you had someone in your heart.”
“Why do you have to like Lu Qianqian? She’s taken and loves Xiao Ming.”
Huo Zhou was very depressed about this unrequited crush.
Upstairs, Qiao An persuaded Xiao Ran, who was still angry. “Are you really going to ignore Huo Zhou for the rest of your life?”
Huo Xiaoran said angrily, “This guy is very despicable. In order to protect his goddess’ image, he destroyed the reputation of my goddess. Which eye of his saw you and Xiao Ming having an affair? He made something out of nothing. I’m so angry.”
Qiao An held Xiao Ran’s trembling hand and comforted her. “Brother Xiaoran, I was divorced and jumped off a building and even had children outside of marriage. It’s reasonable for them to be biased against me. However, Cousin has treated you well. All these years, when I wasn’t by your side, it was Cousin who supported you. If this favor is lost because of me, I will feel very uneasy and feel guilty towards you.”
Huo Xiaoran held Qiao An’s face. “Silly girl, why are you only thinking about others? You’ve suffered so much.”
Qiao An hugged him. “Probably all my tribulations are for the heavens to reward me with you.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled.
The two of them walked down hand in hand. When Huo Zhou saw Huo Xiaoran, he jumped up nervously.
“Xiaoran, I…”
Huo Xiaoran walked over and sat beside Huo Zhou very naturally. However, his beautiful eyes were a little cunning.
“How long have you liked Lu Qianqian?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
Huo Zhou’s ears turned red as he said shyly, “I liked her since junior high.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at his young and innocent appearance and knew that this relationship had a deep impact on Huo Zhou.
“What do you like about her?”
“I was weak at that time and was often bullied by my classmates. It was Sister Qianqian who helped me chase away those classmates who bullied me.” When Huo Zhou mentioned his first love, his eyes flickered.
Huo Xiaoran frowned. Huo Zhou liked Qianqian’s character, and character was the most difficult thing to change. Moreover, Qianqian’s character as a hero became more and more glorious as time passed. No wonder Huo Zhou was deeply involved.
Huo Xiaoran said, “If you like her, you should respect her choice.”
Huo Zhou became excited. “If Brother Xiao Ming was still that positive youth, I would never reveal my thoughts. But as you can see, Xiao Ming has been idle and involved in shady things. He’s long not worthy of Qianqian.”
Huo Xiaoran glanced at Qiao An with helplessness in his eyes. Huo Zhou was too persistent.
Old Master Huo sighed. “As expected of our Huo family’s love.” His tone was half proud and half helpless.
Qiao An tugged at Huo Xiaoran’s sleeve and gave him a meaningful look.
Then Qiao An did the opposite. “Brother Xiaoran, we all know the pain of liking someone but not being able to get her. Since Cousin likes Sister Qianqian and Xiao Ming can’t help, let’s help him pursue Sister Qianqian.”
Qiao An’s suggestion gave Huo Zhou hope.
Huo Xiaoran sighed uncontrollably. She was clearly pushing Huo Zhou into the fire.
However, Qiao An’s intentions were obvious. She wanted Huo Zhou to be her spy and monitor the fake “Qianqian”.
Xiaoran’s selfishness was overcome by justice, and he finally chose to stand on Qiao An’s side.
He looked at Huo Zhou and announced, “I support you chasing Qianqian.”
Huo Zhou was a little excited.
Qiao An took advantage of the situation. “Brother Xiaoran, you’re experienced in love. You have to pay more attention to Cousin.”
Xiao Ran was very aggrieved. “I’ve only had one girlfriend. In what way am I experienced in love?”
Qiao An raised two fingers.
Huo Xiaoran said dejectedly, “Lu Mo counts?”
Qiao An teased him. “You almost married her, so can’t she be considered a girlfriend?”
Huo Xiaoran was speechless.
Huo Xiaoran knew what Qiao An was thinking and went with the flow. “Zhou Zhou, let’s go to the back garden. I’ll give you half an acre of my rose fields. Give Qianqian a bouquet every day. I guarantee you’ll get the beauty.”
Qiao An was pleasantly surprised by Huo Xiaoran’s suggestion. This way, Huo Zhou would have to travel between Qianqian and them every day. He was their best intelligence agent.
It had to be said that Huo Xiaoran really knew Qiao An too well.
Huo Zhou did not realize that he was walking into a trap step by step. At this moment, he was a moth chasing fire.
“Okay.”
Huo Zhou followed Huo Xiaoran to the back garden.
Only the old man and Qiao An were left in the lobby.
The old man looked at Qiao An steadily and said appreciatively, “An’an, how did you make these brothers bury the hatchet?”
Qiao An smiled openly. “I just told Brother Xiaoran that I’ll feel guilty if I make him lose his best brother.”
Old Master Huo was shocked by Qiao An’s words.
