"Chase!"
Huo Chenyu answered very firmly!
But he didn't move an inch.
Huo Yancheng, who had been waiting for them to return home, was ordered by his mother to go out and look for his brother and sister-in-law.
He sighed and asked:
"Then why aren't you going yet?"
Huo Chenyu looked away and turned to him: "I will win her back, but not now. Her sudden behavior must be because she got her hands on that USB drive and mistakenly thought I wanted to defend the Huo family."
Huo Yancheng only heard about the USB drive from Huo Chenyu in the early hours of this morning.
What he didn't understand was:
"Weren't you originally going to give the USB drive to your sister-in-law as a birthday present?"
"That's different."
Huo Chenyu was ultimately too late.
"What's different?" Huo Yancheng, a master of relationships, was an expert in theory but not in practice. When faced with a real situation, his mind wasn't quite sharp.
Huo Chenyu, however, understood perfectly:
“I gave her the USB drive to show that I am willing to share everything with her, discuss everything with her, and that from now on I will investigate the car accident six years ago with her, and treat her as my closest lover, partner and comrade-in-arms in my life.”
But now the USB drive has mysteriously disappeared, and Huo Chenyu's wishful thinking has failed.
"So what do we do now?"
Huo Yancheng was lost in thought.
"It's all my fault. I meant well but did something wrong. I got caught in the crossfire and was taken advantage of."
Huo Chenyu patted him on the shoulder:
"It's not your fault. The enemy is unknown and nowhere to be found, so it's impossible to guard against them. But there's one thing I think you should prepare yourself mentally in advance."
Huo Yancheng's eyes darkened, and he said with a slight sob:
Are you planning to confront the Huo family?
Huo Chenyu was extremely shocked.
"What do you know?"
Huo Chenyu believed he had done a good job of keeping some things secret.
Huo Yancheng smiled bitterly:
“Brother, I’m already in my twenties, not a kid anymore. In terms of age, I’m a year older than my sister-in-law. You all say I’m carefree and not as meticulous as my sister, but actually, my sister has always thought you were our half-brother. Only I know that you’re not.”
About his background.
He even kept it from Tang Li.
While it may seem that Huo Chenyu is the sole ruler of the Huo family, in reality, the usually taciturn eldest uncle and the seemingly weak youngest uncle are both eyeing the empire built by Huo Yishen with covetous intent.
“Brother, don’t worry about coming clean. I know you’ve always suspected that Dad orchestrated the car accident six years ago that harmed your sister-in-law’s family. If you want to give your sister-in-law justice, you have to sever ties with the Huo family. You’ve done enough for the Huo family over the past ten years. I’ll take care of the Huo family’s future troubles.”
Huo Yancheng made a solemn vow.
But Huo Chenyu slapped him on the head:
"So in your heart, I'm a selfish person who would disregard family ties to protect my own love?"
Huo Yancheng felt the pain:
"Haven't you always treated the Huo family as your own?"
Huo Chenyu hugged him tightly:
“I will investigate the love-hate relationship between Aunt Wei and my mother. If Aunt Wei is indeed a mistress, I will never acknowledge a thief as my mother. But similarly, my mother brought me with her when she married our father, and there must be some unknown secrets behind it. I have been avoiding these issues in the past, but from now on, I will solve each problem one by one and uncover the truth step by step.”
Huo Yancheng sighed deeply:
“The previous generation really knows how to make trouble. They could have just left us their inheritance, but they had to leave us a huge mess. Brother, no matter what the truth is, I will never blame you. I will always be your brother, always stand behind you, and support you unconditionally.”
Since that's the case, Huo Chenyu looked in the direction Tang Li had left and said to Huo Yancheng:
"I don't want you to get into trouble. You just need to keep an eye on your sister-in-law for me, especially keep a close watch on Lu Zhixing and Song Beiye, those two who are trying to steal her away. I don't want the day when the truth comes out, to be all alone with me to celebrate."
Huo Yancheng volunteered:
"Brother, you have me."
Huo Chenyu slapped his forehead again:
"What good are you? What I want is a lover to share life and death with."
Huo Yancheng scratched his head awkwardly:
"Alright, I guess I was just being presumptuous. So what are you going to do now? Investigate the truth? Do you need my help? Where should we start?"
Huo Chenyu gave him a push:
"What are you investigating? Your brother is heartbroken. Come on, I'll take you to drink some 70-proof 'Parting Sorrow' liquor."
drink wine?
Seventy degrees?
Huo Yancheng leaned closer, sniffed Huo Chenyu, and then covered his nose in disgust.
"Brother, your wife probably won't like the smell of alcohol on you."
A couple passing by on the roadside saw the two guys' intimate behavior and couldn't help but whisper in each other's ears: "Look, they're gay."
gay my foot!
Huo Yancheng roared:
"I'm male, I like women, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen socialist brotherhood before?"
Huo Chenyu was speechless, and said coldly:
"It seems I need to explain to you what 'socialist brotherhood' means. This popular internet term refers to male-male romance in movies and TV dramas that cannot be publicly revealed due to censorship. Fans, with their survival instincts kicking in, tacitly refer to this kind of subtle romantic relationship as 'socialist brotherhood'."
Simply put, it means gay.
Huo Yancheng stuck out his tongue and said with righteous indignation:
"It's okay, brother. Even if you can't win your sister-in-law back, we're not born to the same parents anyway. At worst, I'll stay with you for the rest of my life, we'll share the same bed in life and the same grave in death."
