Jiang Yao suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at her.
"Believe it or not, I don't know this Huo Zhiyan at all," Jiang Can said calmly. "Who he is or what kind of power he has is none of my business."
"I have a husband, and I love him very much. My goal in life has never been to marry into a wealthy family!"
Jiang Yao frowned, highly doubting the truthfulness of her words.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like wealth and luxury? Is there anyone who doesn't want to marry well?
However, seeing Jiang Can's calm and determined gaze, she suddenly felt a little timid.
"Ha, that sounds nice!" Jiang Yao retorted stubbornly, "You're just saying that because you can't have them!"
Jiang Can laughed.
Jiang Yao just mocked her for not recognizing international brands, saying it was like casting pearls before swine.
But at that moment, she felt like she was talking to a brick wall.
People have different definitions of happiness and vastly different values, so they naturally can't agree on anything.
"Think what you want, I don't care." Jiang Can smiled lightly and turned her back to her with a nonchalant air.
Jiang Yao stomped her foot angrily.
She originally wanted to see Jiang Can get furious, and she even planned how to add fuel to the fire when Jiang Can got angry.
However, to my surprise, every punch I threw landed on cotton!
The opportunity she valued was worthless to Jiang Can!
Yang Juan comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't be angry! That little bitch, she says one thing and means another, why are you listening to her!"
Jiang Yao was about to say something when a member of the Huo family came over and bowed respectfully.
The car that picked her up was a stretched Rolls-Royce, and she traveled on a private charter plane; the entire flight was dedicated to her alone.
“Daughter,” Yang Juan said, beaming as she held her hand, “Look how much Young Master Huo dotes on you. You must seize this opportunity and win him over!”
"Yes, don't worry, Mom!"
"Once you marry into the Huo family, my mother will have hope for the rest of her life!"
Jiang Yao smiled, but felt awkward inside.
These things were originally prepared for Jiang Can!
She bit her lip, a thorn piercing her heart. It was already dark when she set off, and the plane landed in the city just in time for the banquet…
Jiang Yao took a deep breath and forced herself to stay alert.
Mom was right. Marrying into the Huo family not only guarantees a promising future, but it also lets Jiang Can see for herself just how great it is to marry into a wealthy family!
...
Jiang Can walked out of the Jiang family villa. The evening breeze blew gently, and the sky was tinged with gold by the sunset.
Not wanting to miss such a beautiful view, she strolled slowly along the road.
Just then, Huo Zhixin called, wanting to have dinner with her. Since Jiang Can had nothing else to do anyway, she told her to wait for her at the coffee shop.
Upon arriving at "Purple Iris," I immediately spotted that tiny figure and waved enthusiastically at her.
"Sister, let's have fried chicken tonight!" Huo Zhixin said excitedly. "Look, I brought it all. There's fried chicken and beer, the perfect accompaniment for binge-watching TV shows!"
Jiang Can laughed and said, "Then should I take out my computer so you can watch your shows?"
Huo Zhixin nodded repeatedly.
As dusk settled, the small lights in the courtyard came on, and the two sat in the yard eating fried chicken, drinking beer, and watching TV, feeling relaxed and at ease.
“Oh, right,” Jiang Can suddenly remembered something, “Zhi Xin, I want to ask you…who is Huo Zhiyan? Is he/she from your family?”
Huo Zhixin almost got a chicken bone stuck in her throat.
"Sister, why are you asking this?" she asked, somewhat flustered.
"It's nothing, I just received an invitation out of the blue... Heh, but Jiang Yao went in my place."
Huo Zhixin was stunned, wondering what her older brother was planning to do.
Based on her understanding, Huo Zhiyan was either a villain or a thief, and would never do anything good.
Well, it's better that my sister-in-law isn't going, so my third brother won't worry!
“I just suddenly remembered it.” Jiang Can smiled at her. “Your name is Huo Zhixin, and his name is Huo Zhiyan. You’re both from Yangcheng, so I guessed you two might be related.”
“You guessed right,” Huo Zhixin said softly. “Huo Zhiyan is my older brother.”
“He is my second uncle’s child and the eldest grandson of the family.”
"Sister, he's a really awful person, you absolutely must not talk to him!"
Jiang Can was taken aback, then chuckled softly.
She wouldn't pay any attention to any man other than her husband!
“Sister,” Huo Zhixin looked at her, “actually… I have an older brother.”
"Oh." Jiang Can didn't react much.
“He’s my older brother!” Huo Zhixin licked her lips, smiled, and said, “His name is Huo Zhixing. What do you think of this name?”
"Huo Zhixing?" Jiang Can coaxed her, "That's a nice name, much nicer than Huo Zhiyan!"
Really?
"Yes, really."
Huo Zhixin secretly took out her phone and turned on the recording mode.
"Sister, please say it again!"
"What are you saying?"
"You say Huo Zhixing's name sounds better than Huo Zhiyan's!"
Jiang Can chuckled and pinched her little cheek. She was already an eighteen-year-old girl, why was she still acting like a child!
However, not wanting to spoil her mood, she spoke clearly, word by word:
"Huo Zhixing is the best-sounding name in the world, ten thousand times better than Huo Zhiyan!"
Huo Zhixin gave her a look, signaling her to say more.
Jiang Can racked his brains, thinking hard, "Hmm... the name Zhixing is not only pleasant to hear, but it also has philosophical meaning, the unity of knowledge and action!"
“Sister,” Huo Zhixin’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears, “could you say this name a few more times?”
Jiang Can felt that the little girl was acting strangely today. Perhaps she was missing her brother because she was in a foreign land?
