Seeing Huo Xian's expression, Lin Ruanruan couldn't believe it. "No, is this for real?"
"Why would Aunt Liang do this? Aren't you engaged to Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng?"
Huo Xian took a deep breath. "Aunt Liang has already been rebuffed by my mom and me. If my dad and brother hadn't left early this morning, she wouldn't have left so easily."
Huo Xian secretly made up her mind that she must give Huo Qi special training as well, otherwise this feeling of being stuck in limbo would be too uncomfortable.
"That Liang Pi, um Pinggu? Wasn't he beaten up by Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng and sent to the hospital? He's recovered so quickly?" Lin Ruanruan muttered from the side.
Huo Xian rolled her eyes. "No good. She came to the Huo family today in a wheelchair, and Aunt Liang started saying a lot of ambiguous things as soon as she arrived. She..."
Huo Xian hesitated and glanced at Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng. "She said some bad things about Hao Cheng, and even tried to get my mother to agree to the marriage alliance with the Liang family. She praised the Liang family and Liang Ping Gu to the skies."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth. "Xian Xian, there's no need to hide it. I know what my mother said."
"In the end, they just say I'm mentally ill, have violent tendencies, am not a normal person, cold-blooded, and have no conscience."
Huo Xian pursed her lips; she hadn't expected Aunt Liang to dislike Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng so much.
Lin Ruanruan was a little angry. "How can anyone talk about their own son like that? Xuan Yuan Haocheng has been away from home since he was a child. It's one thing for her not to care about him, but she also favors the Liang family completely."
"Yeah, if you really want to say something, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng is just a bit too strong, sigh." Fang Lan sighed from the side. He didn't expect to stumble upon such a big piece of gossip as soon as he arrived.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng sneered. He had long given up on getting maternal love from Liang Yan. Since childhood, she had looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, as if he shouldn't exist in this world.
As a child, he was indeed prone to irritability and often made a mess of the house. Even the bodyguards couldn't control him. Liang Yan secretly told him that he was a monster and that she should have aborted him while he was still in her womb.
He couldn't speak until he was five years old, and he was easily irritable and angry. His father sought medical help everywhere, but to no avail.
Finally, an old Taoist priest who was traveling around came to his door and took him to a Taoist temple in Xiaogang Village to recuperate. He stayed there until he was 16 years old.
During this time, his father and elder brother hired renowned teachers to instruct him in his studies. Without Liang Yan's secret abuse and with the tranquility of the mountains, his irritable heart gradually calmed down.
At the age of 16, he met Huo Xian, who was in a panic and had nowhere to go. Huo Xian was in a terrible state, but it was this disheveled girl who stumbled into his heart.
He helped her resolve her troubles, preventing her parents from selling her off as a wife again. To prevent her wolfish parents from harming her, he kept her by his side.
After Huo Xian was expelled from school, he personally taught her. Later, he discovered that Huo Xian was very intelligent and could grasp things very quickly. This gave him a unique sense of accomplishment as a teacher.
That period was the happiest and most carefree time of his 16 years.
However, on the very day he celebrated Huo Xian's birthday when he was seventeen, Liang Yan and his father took him back home.
It turned out that the people around him had reported his affair with Huo Xian. Fearing that it would affect the relationship between the Xuanyuan family and the Huo family, Liang Yan forcibly sent someone to inject him with anesthesia and tie him up and take him back.
He was heartbroken and thought he would never see Xianxian again, but then things took a turn for the better. It turned out that Xianxian was his fiancée, and he was overjoyed when he heard the news.
Now, because of the Liang family's secret request, Liang Yan actually wants to take his Xianxian away. How could he possibly allow that?
Xianxian can only be with him in this lifetime.
Seeing that Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng's mood was starting to change, Lin Ruan Ruan quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this upsetting thing anymore. Anyway, the Huo family will never agree to it, and no matter how much they make a fuss, it's useless."
"Let's play a game together. There are four of us, so we can team up."
Fang Lan perked up, "That's fine, should we invite one more person?"
Lin Ruanruan shook her head, "No need, I can do the work of two people. I also have a tablet. I can operate the phone and tablet together, and I can choose a jungler and a support to be connected with myself."
Fang Lan's mouth dropped open. "Wow, no wonder Zhu Bajie is so amazing! Let me see for myself!"
Lin Ruanruan pouted and said 'modestly', "Relax, it's just basic stuff, watch me do it later."
Fang Lan stood to the side, bowing in worship. Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng looked at the two lively characters, a smile flashing across his eyes. "I didn't download the game."
"Me neither," Huo Xian said. She only had that puzzle game on her phone, which she downloaded to help Lin Ruanruan solve the puzzle, and hadn't played it in a long time.
Lin Ruanruan waved her hand, "It's okay, you can download it now, the internet speed at home is very fast."
Later, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, Huo Xian, and the other two witnessed Lin Ruan Ruan's amazing skills. Sure enough, she brought down a tablet from upstairs and directly controlled two accounts with both hands.
She placed her phone and tablet on the coffee table, sat on a small stool, with the tablet above the phone, and operated both hands simultaneously. Luckily, her arms were long enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to operate them this way.
Fang Lan watched from the side, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Sister Ruan, you're truly amazing! I don't even know which one to watch, and you're controlling two characters at once. How can your brain handle that?"
Lin Ruanruan had just controlled the enemy team with her support, and her jungler secured a triple kill with a single combo. Without even looking up, she thought, "Maybe this is talent?"
"Fang Lan, stop being so sarcastic, you've been resurrected," Huo Xian said.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng silently secured the kill on the opposing team while playing top lane. Fang Lan praised him from the side, "Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, you don't seem like someone who's just started playing the game. Your combos are so smooth."
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng glanced at Fang Lan, "Isn't this something you can learn in one look? The game skills are explained on it."
Fang Lan gritted his teeth. He had already died three times, and his current record was 0-3-0. Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng had a solid 2-0-0.
Just as Fang Lan was feeling jealous, Huo Xian in the mid lane killed the opponent and even pushed down the tower. "Damn, Huo Xian, you dare to say you've never played this game before?"
Huo Xian looked up in confusion, "I've never played this before. Isn't this something anyone can do? Besides, the opponent is a bot, it's pretty easy."
Fang Lan looked injured. Why was he the only one having such a hard time?
Lin Ruanruan was struggling to suppress her laughter; Fang Lan was truly a gaming black hole.
