Chapter 237 Young Man
Shen Zhixia had initially thought Huo Chunyan would soften her heart, but now it seemed she had completely overestimated the situation.
Huo Chunyan disliked Huo Xinran even more than she had imagined. After hearing Huo Xinran's words, she sneered, "You were the one who betrayed my mother and insisted on leaving my family. Now that you're in trouble, why should we bear the consequences? What? You think you're so great?"
"Let me tell you, Huo Xinran, you're not welcome here. Get out of here right now, do you hear me?"
Mrs. Huo opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Tears welled up in Huo Xinran's eyes again. She pleaded, "Please help me this once. I don't ask for much. I just want a place to stay. Just let me stay at your place for two days."
"Sorry, but I can't let outsiders stay in my dorm. I'm afraid you'll make it dirty." Huo Chunyan rolled her eyes.
When Shen Zhixia saw her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but smile. She realized that Huo Chunyan was indeed a sensible person; no matter how much Huo Xinran pleaded, she wouldn't agree.
Huo Xinran was completely panicked at this moment. She came to this place with nothing and thought that her mother would definitely help her, but they were so heartless.
Nobody paid any attention to her.
Just when Huo Xinran was at her wit's end, Huo Chenzhou returned. Huo Xinran immediately went to Huo Chenzhou for help, but Huo Chenzhou didn't ask about the cause and effect of the matter. He simply said, "Go back now."
Huo Xinran said incredulously, "Big brother, don't treat me like this. If I go back, I'll have no way to survive."
Huo Chenzhou said expressionlessly, "Don't call me big brother. I don't have a sister like you."
Huo Chunyan nodded: "Yes, don't try to claim kinship with others."
Huo Xinran looked at her mother again. Her mother's face was full of reluctance, but she eventually turned her head away. After all, one side was her biological child, and the other side was just an adopted daughter who had betrayed her before. Any normal person would know how to choose.
Finally, Mrs. Huo said, "Go back, don't stay here."
Seeing that they were so heartless, Huo Xinran gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, fine, since you don't welcome me, I'll leave now."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Huo Chunyan watched her retreating figure and said with disgust, "Where was she earlier? She should have left sooner. I don't know what she's doing here?"
Mrs. Huo said, "She has been bullied ever since she got married. She must have been driven to desperation, which is why she did this. Actually, she had no other choice. She still has so many bruises on her body from being beaten."
Huo Chunyan scoffed, “Mom, you don’t need to pity her. It was her own choice. If she hadn’t betrayed you, we wouldn’t have let her marry such a jerk. Her husband is indeed not a good person, but you don’t need to feel guilty. It wasn’t your fault. It was her own choice.”
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Chunyan is right, Mom. These things have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to feel too guilty."
Huo Chunyan said, "I'm worried that she might not leave here. I have a feeling that she won't leave so easily."
Huo Chenzhou said, "Let's eat."
Seeing that Huo Chenzhou completely ignored her, Huo Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Forget it, I don't need to worry about this anyway. If we ignore her, she definitely won't stay here for long."
After Huo Xinran left, she indeed had nowhere to go. She looked around at everything in a daze, feeling completely unfamiliar with it.
She had no money on her. When she escaped from the village, she stole some money and then took a bus here. Now she only has one bundle on her.
She can't go back; if she does, Li Qiang will definitely break her legs.
But the Huo family doesn't acknowledge her, and there's nothing she can do.
She could only wander aimlessly. When she got tired, she would squat down and take out a sesame seed cake from her bundle to slowly nibble on.
The sesame seed cake had long since gone cold, and it was extremely hard and unpalatable when bitten into, but she still ate it all, bite by bite.
Just then, some people passed by and, upon seeing Huo Xinran, exclaimed in surprise, "Huo Xinran, what are you doing here? Didn't you leave?"
Huo Xinran was a celebrity back then. She tried to seduce Sun Baojun but failed, and then framed him. Her reputation was ruined, which is why she left this place. Now that she's back, and everyone's memories haven't been lost, they naturally know what she did.
Even though Huo Xinran had thickened her skin, her face still stung.
The man continued, "Huo Xinran, I really didn't expect you to still have the nerve to come here. The things you did before were truly shameful."
"We thought you wouldn't come back after you left. What are you trying to do now that you're back? Are you trying to seduce men again?"
Huo Xinran said angrily, "Enough! Don't speak so rudely. I'm Commander Huo's sister, what's wrong with me coming to see him? If you dare to continue to speak rudely to me, I'll tell him."
The man was stunned for a moment, then said guiltily, "You're talking nonsense. Commander Huo won't care about you."
Huo Chenzhou has always been fair and would never make things difficult for others because of Huo Xinran. However, Huo Xinran is indeed Huo Chenzhou's sister, even if she is his adopted sister. In the end, they did not dare to do anything to her.
After everyone left, Huo Xinran squatted on the ground and started crying. She felt like the sky had fallen, and thinking about her recent life, she felt so wronged.
She couldn't live a normal life after getting married. She went to her biological parents, but they tied her up again and wanted to marry her off to someone else in exchange for a dowry.
This is just another scam to get a bride price.
Huo Xinran felt that they were truly heartless and insane, and she couldn't understand why she had such parents.
She had to fight tooth and nail to escape.
She told the village chief about it, hoping he could help her, but the village chief betrayed her.
She could not trust anyone around her.
After thinking about it for a long time, she realized that only the Huo family treated her the best. However, she left the Huo family back then, and now that she's going back, the Huo family doesn't want her anymore.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and Huo Xinran, who had been leaning against the door, suddenly fell backward.
A man helped her up.
"Are you alright?" The man's voice was very gentle.
Huo Xinran turned her head and saw a young man looking at her with concern in his eyes.
At that moment, Huo Xinran's heart suddenly raced.
