Chapter 289 Older Brother
"Let's forget about that little girl. After all, she didn't grow up under Chao Yin's care. Even biological parents are bound to drift apart. We have to take it slow."
The cousin-in-law who had previously mentioned having a second child asked Xie Chaowan in a low voice, "What about Chaoyin? She still refuses to come home?"
Xie Chaowan nodded with a wry smile.
She was able to come back today for two reasons: first, because of Niannian, and second, because she didn't want to embarrass the two elderly people. Her third brother never intended to come back.
"It's also my aunt's fault for going too far back then," the cousin sighed.
She always spoke frankly, and with Mr. and Mrs. Xie not around, she had no more scruples. "Back then, I knew Tang Ya was no good the moment I saw her. She was too scheming. But my aunt liked her and forced Chao Yin to marry her. No wonder Chao Yin resented her."
Madam Xie was confused, but Mr. Xie was not. Years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Xie had argued endlessly about this matter, causing constant turmoil in the household. Xie Chao, not wanting to see Tang Ya again or hear his parents arguing about him, simply left home.
It's better to be an unfilial son who runs away from home than to be a source of conflict between his parents.
Now that Tang Ya is gone, Madam Xie has repented, but Xie Chaoyin still refuses to go home, purely out of resentment.
"Don't say I'm being rude by talking about others behind their backs... If it weren't for your sake, Auntie, I would have said it to their face. I've never liked Tang Ya. In the past, I rarely came back because I didn't want to see her. She's so hypocritical and creepy. Later, when I heard about what she did, it scared me so much that I had nightmares at night!"
"We're all the same. If Tang Ya were still here today, I definitely wouldn't have come back... Speaking of which, where did Tang Ya go?"
"Who knows? The world is vast, and even beasts can be tolerated, so why can't we let her go?"
"Given what she did, calling her a beast is an understatement."
Xie Chaowan listened to his sister-in-law and siblings talking about Tang Ya with a shared sense of indignation, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Xie Chaowan did know something about where Tang Ya was.
Earlier, when Xie Chaoyin locked Tang Ya in the villa outside, Xie Chaowan even suggested that Tang Ya eat the servants' leftovers to save money from supporting her.
Later, after hearing Xie Chaoyin say that he was planning to send her abroad, Xie Chaowan even went to find a tattoo artist and had a word tattooed on Tang Ya's lower abdomen.
——Whore
She wanted to make sure that no matter where Tang Ya went, she would never be able to hold her head up high again!

In order to get money from his father to pay taxes, Huo Huaisui had no choice but to walk into a trap—he went home.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw her older brother standing in the living room, arms crossed, looking at her.
"..."
He even said sarcastically, "Oh, so Miss Huo knows how to come home after all."
The phrase "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump" came to Huo Huaisui's mind.
She was the rabbit waiting to be slaughtered.
Huo Huai Sui was home asking for money. Even if she wanted to slap her brother's face with her shoe right now, she had to hold back for the time being and greet him with a smile: "Brother, you're off work so early?"
Huo Huai'an snorted, "If I don't leave work early, how can I catch you?"
Huo Huaisui: "..."
Huo Huai'an finally dropped his sarcastic tone and asked coldly, "Tell me, where have you been these past few days, and where have you spent the night?"
Huo Huaisui: "At a friend's house."
Huo Huai'an: "Which friend?"
Huo Huaisui remained silent.
Huo Huai'an sneered, "Boyfriend?"
Huo Huai Sui slowly raised four fingers and said with a serious expression, "I swear, absolutely not."
Huo Huai'an: "You don't have a boyfriend, or you haven't spent the night at your boyfriend's house?"
Huo Huaisui: "None."
"You've learned to lie?" Huo Huai'an frowned. "You really think I wouldn't know who your boyfriend is if you didn't tell me?"
Thinking about this incident made Huo Huai'an extremely angry.
That lunatic Xie Qinglan actually dated his sister, and even played the victim right in front of him.
If his dad hadn't let it slip, would he have had to wait until those two had already had their kids before finding out?!
Huo Huai Sui was preoccupied with money and dared not anger her older brother at this moment, so she quickly explained, "He's not my boyfriend. We've already broken up."
Huo Huai'an chuckled, "That means they were together."
Huo Huai Sui gave a guilty smile, "It's all in the past, it's all in the past."
To appease his older brother, Huo Huaisui decided to confess and told him without reservation how he got together with Xie Qinglan and how they broke up.
Huo Huai'an's lips twitched as he listened.
Is she mentally challenged to date someone for an ice cream and a small gift?
And Xie Qinglan, that lunatic, actually dared to hide his identity and lie to his sister; he deserved to be dumped.
The thought that it was his own sister who dumped him calmed Huo Huai'an down a bit. "Since you've broken up, let's do it cleanly. What's the point of going to someone else's house to stay?"
Huo Huai Sui listened attentively to the instruction: "I understand, I will never go there again."
She's about to have a house, but she won't go even when we invite her.
Huo Huai'an then asked, "So, what brings you back?"
Knowing this silly girl as he did, he knew she would never dare to come back at this time unless something was wrong.
"It's nothing serious," Huo Huai Sui chuckled, rubbing his hands together. "I just wanted to borrow some money from you and Dad..."
Huo Huai'an: "I have no money. I won't lend it to you."
Huo Huai Sui hadn't held out much hope for his older brother anyway. "I'm going to find Dad!"
Huo Huai'an said lazily, "Go ahead. I didn't take much of what he gave you."
Huo Huai Sui paused, turning around in disbelief.
Where is the love between siblings? Where is the bond of blood? Is this something a human being would do?!
"Brother!" Huo Huai Sui shouted angrily, "Are you even my real brother? You're always so stingy, even taking my allowance, and now that I need something, you won't even lend me this little bit of money. Are you even my real brother? If you don't give me this money, I'll never speak to you again for the rest of my life!"
Huo Huai'an's ears hurt from her noise. "Tell me first, what do you need the money for?"
Huo Huai Sui then calmed down and honestly told everyone that he had won the lottery.
Huo Huai'an was somewhat surprised, "Are you sure?"
Huo Huai Sui nodded: "Confirmed!"
Huo Huai'an was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much do you want?"
Huo Huaisui held up three fingers, "Three million."
Huo Huai'an was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I suddenly feel..."
Huo Huaisui looked on with anticipation.
Huo Huai'an: "It's fine if you and Xie Qinglan continue to be together."
Huo Huaisui: "?"
“Tell him to bring over a dowry of 300 million, and I'll give you 3 million.”
"..."
