Chapter 135: Abandoned
There were a few other things that Huo Zhennan was secretly taking care of that the old lady didn't know much about, but Huo Baohong thought of them.
Why is his business so successful? It’s because he has an elder brother who is a marquis!
"Brother...Brother!" Huo Baohong covered his face and cried.
They are brothers, this isn't how it should be!
Now it has come true what I said angrily when we parted: life and death are no longer a thing!
What was it for in the first place? What was it for?
It’s because…
The Huo family and the Ding Ruoliu family are neighbors. Since they do some small business together, the two families have frequent exchanges.
His eldest brother was five years older than him, and Ding Ruoliu was about the same age as him, so the two families verbally arranged a marriage between him and Ding.
He knew that Ding Ruoliu would be his wife in the future, so he was close to her and protected her since she was a child.
However, Ding Ruoliu is not a weak person. Many times he needs her protection and to scold away those who bully him.
At that time, he felt that this girl was straightforward and very compatible with his gentle personality.
Time passed quickly and they reached the age to get married.
Because the two families were so familiar with each other, there was no particular ceremony for the engagement, so they just set up a table at Ding's house.
The two families had a lively drink together.
Maybe the eldest brother drank too much and said he was going to the bathroom, but somehow he ended up in Ding Ruoliu's room.
This is what caused the brothers to turn against each other.
"I was so angry at the time that I hit my eldest brother. He didn't resist, but his eyes were wide open and his arm was injured and bleeding.
Ding cried and said that they had already had physical contact, and that she could only marry the eldest brother to protect her reputation.
"This is impossible!" The old lady was extremely shocked.
"He's not that kind of person!"
He is an extremely honest man. He always avoids women if possible. If he can't avoid them, he won't look them in the face rudely. How could he do something like occupying his brother's wife!
"Of course not." Huo Baohong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My eldest brother refused to admit what he had done to Ding Ruoliu, so her father said that if my eldest brother didn't marry her, he would not be allowed to touch any of the Huo family's business or property."
He remembered that at that time, his elder brother looked at him for a long time.
But he was furious at the time and didn't understand the meaning of his eyes.
Later, whenever I recalled it, I seemed to have figured it out.
Big brother thought that was his design! For the Huo family's business!
Because at that time, the Huo family's business was basically taken care of by the eldest brother.
"The next day, my eldest brother left, leaving behind a letter saying he was going to join the army and voluntarily gave up all the Huo family's wealth."
At the end of the letter, there were four words: Never see you again, dead or alive.
Huo Baohong looked at the old lady's ugly face and immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand, sister-in-law, nothing really happened between my brother and Ding. She is innocent."
Later, he still married Ding, but Ding seemed to hate her elder brother so much that she gritted her teeth whenever she mentioned him.
Therefore, as long as the Ding family is around, the brothers will never be able to go back to the way they were before.
So over the years, even when Huo Zhennan returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, they would stagger their visits to avoid meeting each other.
"Have you never suspected that Ding was playing tricks on him when he entered her room?!!!" the old lady asked angrily.
It seems like everything has a reasonable explanation.
Why did Ding always compare herself with her, speak disdainfully of her, and even hate Huo Zhennan when she mentioned him?
That's because she didn't get it!
besides……
The old lady thought again of her encounter with Huo Zhennan.
At that time, he was framed by his sister and entered her room. He looked frighteningly ugly, and later he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to commit suicide to apologize.
Maybe he felt helpless, having fallen into the same trap twice!
On their wedding night, he was actually very cold to her, observing protocol and manners, with no emotion in his eyes.
Later, on the day his sister got married, he went to the banquet as her brother-in-law. Perhaps he heard something, and when he came back he treated her differently.
She also gradually realized the value of this man and developed a friendship with him.
He is such an upright person that he would never act recklessly even when drunk.
The old lady was absolutely certain that it was Ding who was playing tricks!
Huo Baohong had suspected this before, but ultimately, because of his feelings for Ding, he didn't think too deeply about it. He simply assumed his elder brother had gotten drunk and walked into the wrong room. With the candlelight dim, Ding thought it was him...
But now, Ding's true nature is gradually revealed...
He was afraid of uncovering that old scar, as the truth would be extremely cruel.
The old lady has pushed the door open and wants to find Ding to get things straight!
…
"I knew you would come."
Ding's hair was disheveled, her face was covered with wrinkles, and she exuded a foul smell. She looked several years older than she had a few days ago.
Like a beggar woman.
Despite this, she still lay prone on the bed like a triumphant winner, squinting her eyes and looking at the old lady with sarcasm.
"Ms. Ding, you like Huo Zhennan, but unfortunately you couldn't marry him even after using all your tricks, so you hate him, and you also hate me who he loves."
The situation that Ding thought she was in control of was broken. What Yang said was not what she thought.
The corners of his sneering mouth drooped inch by inch.
His cloudy and bloodshot eyes seemed to be trapped in a maze, unable to see clearly.
Yes, she likes Huo Zhennan.
But his parents looked down on him for being dull, saying that the Huo family business would be ruined sooner or later if left to him because he was too stubborn and had offended someone.
They are more interested in Huo Baohong, who is elegant and flexible.
Later, she finally took the plunge and used medicine to get Huo Zhennan into the room. Even her parents compromised, but Huo Zhennan would rather give up everything than marry her!
How lowly she must have been to have humiliated him like that!
Ding's eyes gradually became filled with madness.
Now that things have come to this, she is not afraid of anything anymore.
It's worth it if it can make Yang feel uncomfortable before dying!
"So you knew about that incident, was it Huo Baohong who told you?
Haha! Yes! I like him! Let me tell you, he was my first man! He lied, he did everything, he was a heartless man who abandoned me after having sex with me!
The old lady scoffed, "You're really old now. You don't even cover your butt when you poop. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Ding looked at her sinisterly, as if she had thought of something, and smiled like a ghost: "You don't know that virgin blood can be faked with chicken blood, right?"
"Don't bother trying to sow discord. My Lord would rather eat dirt and bran than shit! He would rather abandon his family and career to fight for his life on the battlefield than marry you. You're so worthless that you're not worth a penny."
The old lady was not fooled, and Ding was driven crazy by it. She got up and wanted to fight.
"Huo Zhennan should really see what the noble and elegant daughter he married is like. She is nothing but a shrew who talks about shit and piss without restraint!"
The old lady stepped back.
A figure limped in from behind, swung his arm and hit Ding hard.
"So, it was you who lured Big Brother into your room back then, and it was you who framed him?"
