"Hey, the three brothers of the Huo family are all here?"

The villagers passing by also saw Huo Jue and the others: "Huo Xiao, I heard that you have very good grades in school. You really bring honor to your Huo family!"

"You're welcome."

Huo Xiao smiled modestly. Wen Xia Nuan, who was standing beside him, curled her lips and said, "Huo Xiao is a good student, but unfortunately his character is not good."

The villagers clearly sensed something was hidden in Wen Xianuan's words, and they all looked at her: "Wen Zhiqing, could something have happened to you?"

"Yeah, I saw Huo Chen coming to Huo Jue with a bad look on his face before. Could it be that Huo Chen is causing trouble again?"

Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand: "Then you have to ask them."

Huo Xiao and Huo Chen's expressions changed. After hearing what Wen Xia Nuan said, Huo Xiao was the first to react: "Wen Zhiqing, I just feel that we can't hurt the harmony among brothers. How can you think so?"

He looked serious. Wen Xia Nuan sneered and glanced at Huo Xiao: "Huo Jue, is this what your brother meant?"

Huo Xiao and Huo Chen's eyes were fixed on Huo Jue, and so was Wen Xia Nuan.

Huo Jue was watched by so many people, but his expression remained calm. "Ah Xiao, I just want to ask you one question. Who came up with this idea?"

"Brother, don't you believe me?"

Huo Xiao's eyes widened as he looked at Huo Jue in disbelief. Huo Jue looked away and pursed his lips. "It's not that I don't trust you, but what you've done now, how can I trust you?"

Huo Xiao saw the seriousness in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and faced his brother with unprecedented sadness: "Brother, I didn't expect you to miss me this much!"

"Huo Xiao, what did you do to your brother?"

"Yeah, your brother wouldn't think the worst of anyone, let alone you, the little brother he holds dear to his heart!"

There were people all around watching the fun without caring about the big things happening.

Huo Xiao suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. "Brother, say something! Do you really want to see me being attacked by this group of people like this?"

He stared at Huo Jue with a bewildered expression. Huo Jue said calmly, "Ah Xiao, I still say the same thing. You need to explain clearly."

The crowd around him started to make a noise, and Huo Xiao's eyes were filled with emotions. After being speechless, he finally said, "Brother, I just hope that we can resolve this between brothers!"

“Is this wrong?”

Huo Xiao's words were equivalent to indirectly acknowledging his own words.

Huo Jue's heart finally settled. He looked at his brother and was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sadness, which made him unable to express his feelings in words for a moment.

Wen Xia Nuan could see the sadness in Huo Jue's heart, and she subconsciously tugged at his sleeve.

Huo Jue lowered his head and saw Wen Xia Nuan's worried look.

His heart felt warm, and at this moment he felt as if his heart was injected with unprecedented energy.

"I'm fine."

He waved his hand, and Wen Xia Nuan curled her lips: "It's best if you're okay, but if you really want to be sad, it's not shameful."

Huo Xiao looked at Huo Jue for help: "Brother..."

Wen Xia Nuan stood up at this moment and stopped Huo Xiao: "Huo Xiao, your brother worked hard to earn money to support your studies. So this is how you repay your brother."

"Don't say that I, an outsider, can't bear to watch it. Even someone like you, don't you have a guilty conscience?"

Huo Xiao's expression changed, and he stared at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, I'm talking to my brother. What does it have to do with you?"

He looked annoyed, and Wen Xia Nuan shrugged innocently: "This really has nothing to do with me, but you are going too far now."

"Fellow villagers, you don't know that Huo Xiao actually came to force his brother to compromise in order to save Huo Chen from losing his job!"

"This kind of brother is really a traitor. He's really despised!"

When Wen Xia Nuan's words came, Huo Xiao also set his eyes on Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, I have tolerated you for a long time! Do we really need you to intervene in the affairs of our Huo family?"

He stared at Wen Xia Nuan with gritted teeth, the anger in his eyes clearly visible.

Wen Xia Nuan twitched the corner of her mouth: "Huo Xiao, it's not that I want to intervene, but you're going too far, you know?"

She saw through Huo Xiao's thoughts. Wen Xia Nuan just couldn't bear to see Huo Jue being bullied for being honest.

The villagers around had not expected such a thing to happen, and their eyes changed when they looked at Huo Xiao.

"Huo Xiao, what you did is wrong. Do you know that your brother almost lost his life because of Huo Chen?"

"Huo Xiao, we all saw Huo Chen's evil deeds. Why do you have to embarrass your brother like this?"

"Yeah, Huo Xiao, you can't be like this."

Huo Xiao's eyes were filled with helplessness. Hearing the accusations around him, he was at a loss as to what to do.

"Huo Jue, you still have to think about yourself. You only give, and look at your brother."

"I told you I was right in town! Huo Xiao and Huo Chen hooked up with a girl in town, and they're eager to team up and bully Huo Jue!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, pitiful Huo Jue!"

Everyone around was chattering. Wen Xia Nuan saw that her plan had succeeded and glanced at Huo Jue: "Do you feel relieved?"

For some reason, the feeling of boredom in Huo Jue's heart suddenly disappeared when he saw Wen Xia Nuan.

He smiled, looking at Wen Xia Nuan with warmth in his eyes: "Thank you."

Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, but her expression quickly softened: "Huo Jue, you really need to plan for your future."

She didn't want Huo Jue to become anyone's subordinate, especially Huo Xiao. Whenever she thought about Huo Xiao using Huo Jue to study, marrying a girl in town, and joining forces with Huo Chen to bully Huo Jue, she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Huo Jue, the captain is looking for you! Hurry over and take a look!"

The villagers' voices came, Huo Jue responded and walked out hurriedly.

Wen Xia Nuan also watched Huo Jue's back as he left. She breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Huo Chen and Huo Xiao.

"Wen Zhiqing, please wait a moment."

Wen Xia Nuan paused, her eyes fixed on Huo Xiao: "Why, what else do you want to say to me?"

She stared at him curiously. Huo Xiao pursed his lips, his eyes full of scrutiny: "I'm very curious, why are you targeting me like this?"

He smiled, trying to appear gentle, but the smile did not reach his eyes, making it look even more forced.

Wen Xia Nuan frowned and felt sick.

She really doesn't want to have any contact with a fickle and hypocritical man like Huo Xiao.

"Huo Xiao, you're overthinking it. I've never been targeted before. I have other things to do. Please give way."
