Chapter 112 Not by blood

It's over, everything is over.

Huo Xinran's lips were trembling.

From today onwards, everyone in the military camp knows what she did, so there's no way she'll find a partner there.

She originally wanted to find a soldier to marry and stay here forever, but now that plan has become a pipe dream.

Everyone knows that she tried to seduce her future brother-in-law but failed, and then she falsely accused him of molesting her. With such a accusation, everyone will stay away from her, and how can she change her life?

Yes, she could leave this place and go back to the countryside. After all, the countryside would never know what happened to her here. But she doesn't want to go back. She has seen the good life here, so how could she be willing to go back to that poor place?

But this time even Huo's mother didn't speak up for her: "You should go back now, don't stay here any longer."

"Mom, even you despise me now?" Huo Xinran said resentfully.

She knew that Huo's mother was not good to her, but in the past Huo's mother would at least put on an act. But now Huo's mother didn't even bother to put on an act anymore. She wanted her to go back directly, which Huo Xinran couldn't accept.

Mrs. Huo was getting impatient: "Your reputation is ruined now. If you don't leave here, what else do you want to do? If you go out now, people will point fingers at you, and we will be implicated as well. The best way now is to leave here. When we get to the countryside, no one will know what you've done."

She wasn't blaming Huo Xinran; she was just stating a fact. After all, what Huo Xinran did this time was too much. Her reputation was ruined, and Huo's mother was heartbroken. In fact, even now, Huo's mother didn't understand why Huo Xinran would do something so foolish.

“Your reputation is already bad, so instead of being talked about here, you should leave sooner rather than later. I’ll leave with you then, and after a while, everyone will forget about this matter,” said Mrs. Huo.

Huo Xinran, however, was unwilling.

She would rather die than go back.

She didn't want to go back to the countryside. Life there was too hard; she couldn't enjoy the good food here. If she went back, she would have to do chores like feeding the pigs. Although her mother would help, she didn't want to do anything.

The men in the countryside are of such poor quality. If she goes back, she'll be too old and will definitely get married soon. Although her mother-in-law hasn't pressured her, she thinks that her mother-in-law raised her and will definitely sell her for a good price. She doesn't want that.

If Huo's mother sold her to some old bachelor, wouldn't her life be ruined? She didn't want to live that kind of life.

She has experienced a better life in the family compound during this time, so she can never go back to the countryside.

She had gone through so much hardship to get here, and now she didn't want to leave.

"Mom, sister, I don't want to leave here. Please don't send me away. This is all my fault. I apologize to you, okay? Please forgive me this time." Huo Xinran cried.

She was really crying; her face was full of sadness, and large tears streamed down her face.

Huo Chunyan said speechlessly, "We're not really kicking you out. You've been here for so many days already, you should have left anyway."

She hadn't expected Huo Xinran to stay for so long. In her opinion, Huo Xinran should have left long ago. Even if this hadn't happened, she shouldn't have stayed here for so long.

Judging from Huo Xinran's appearance, does she perhaps intend to stay here permanently?

"Xinran." Huo's mother couldn't understand her thoughts either. In her opinion, shouldn't Huo Xinran leave immediately after doing such a thing? No one wants others to continue talking about them, but she just doesn't want to leave at all.

"Mom, I don't want to go back to the countryside to get married." Now that things had come to this, Huo Xinran could only say all her thoughts: "I came here because I wanted to get married here. Can't you introduce me to some soldiers? I want to get married, have children, and stay here forever. I never want to go back in this lifetime."

Huo's mother: "?"

Introduce her to a soldier?

Given Huo Xinran's current image, everyone knows what she's done, so who would want to date her?

Huo Xinran has absolutely no self-awareness.

No matter what, Huo Xinran hugged her mother and cried. Huo's mother also looked very sad and kept hugging Huo Xinran and crying.

Huo Chunyan's eyes were full of disdain, and she kept her distance from the two of them.

Huo Chenzhou ignored them. Anyway, the matter was already settled, and no matter how much Huo Xinran cried, it would be useless.

As an outsider, Shen Zhixia did not get involved in the matter at all.

The next day, Zhang Weihong came over. She looked around but didn't see Huo Xinran.

Shen Zhixia said, "Huo Xinran didn't come today; she's in her dorm."

Huo Xinran is now hiding in her dormitory, afraid of being bumped into. After all, everyone knows what she did, and it's easy for them to gossip about her. She's also afraid of running into other people, so she's naturally keeping a low profile.

Zhang Weihong chuckled: "Girl, you understand me."

Shen Zhixia said helplessly, "Did you come all this way so early just to see some fun?"

"Didn't I hear Huo Xinran crying all day yesterday? She was crying so loudly. She kept saying she didn't want to leave here. I'm just curious, after doing something like this, why isn't she leaving?"

Zhang Weihong said casually, "It's really strange. The Huo family are all upright people, so how come they have such a sister? Besides, I think both Huo Commander and Huo Chunyan are quite good-looking, but Huo Xinran is not so good-looking. Are you sure she is really Huo Commander's sister? Could it be a mistake?"

Shen Zhixia glanced at Zhang Weihong, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you have such a sharp eye."

Zhang Weihong's eyes widened, filled with excitement: "No way? I really guessed right?"

Shen Zhixia didn't think it was a secret, so she nodded: "Then Huo Xinran was adopted by Huo's mother and has no blood relation to the Huo family."

Anyway, it's not a big deal. Huo Xinran knows she was adopted, and the Huo family knows too. It doesn't matter if people talk about it. Besides, Huo Xinran has made such a big blunder, and she doesn't want people to associate Huo Xinran and Huo Chenzhou too much.

Zhang Weihong is such a blabbermouth; if she finds out about this, it'll probably spread throughout the entire residential compound in no time.

Sure enough, Zhang Weihong said excitedly, "Then I'll spread this news. I'll know that someone with such questionable character as Huo Xinran is definitely not like Commander Huo's own sister."
