Ji Yaxuan's eyes flashed, and she frowned, asking, "What's wrong with you, child? Why are you talking nonsense? Have you heard some gossip from someone again?"
Huo Miaomiao, her round little face tense, said, "I just want to ask you, am I not your biological child, or is Huo Yan not your biological child?!"
"Everyone says we don't look like siblings, and I hate that he's not close to me at all."
"And you're too good to him, you spoil him in everything, he'll always get your unconditional favoritism!"
"If I skip class, I get beaten up. You hit me, don't let me eat, and force me to do my homework ten times. But if he skips class, you only say a few words."
“I spend money extravagantly, and you nag me endlessly. Huo Yan crashes three million-dollar sports cars in a day, and you buy him three multi-million-dollar luxury cars to squander.”
"When I joined the company, I had to start from the bottom. If the company gave me the green light, I would be fired immediately. Huo Yan joined the company as a senior executive. He lost three small goals for a single order. My dad scolded him, but you still protected him."
"Mom, I feel like Huo Yan is the only one who is truly your biological son. I'm just someone you picked up."
The more Huo Miaomiao talked, the more wronged she felt.
Ji Yaxuan sighed, hugged Huo Miaomiao, and said softly, "My silly daughter, it turns out you were just jealous of your brother, that's why you were overthinking things."
"Of course you are Mom's biological child. You are the baby Mom carried for ten months and gave birth to. Mom is strict with you, but it's all for your own good. You will become stronger in the face of setbacks and adversity. Mom doesn't want you to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse, withering and breaking under the storm."
"What about Huo Yan?" Huo Miaomiao still felt wronged.
She had a bad relationship with Huo Yan since childhood. Other younger sisters liked to follow their older brothers around, but she didn't.
Huo Yan didn't like her either, perhaps because of their age difference, or perhaps Huo Yan simply didn't like her.
Later, Huo Miaomiao increasingly realized that her mother favored Huo Yan, and even her father did so, never looking at her the way he looked at Huo Yan.
From then on, Huo Miaomiao harbored a grudge and often went against Huo Yan. When she saw Huo Yan acting like those spoiled rich kids, she would complain to her grandfather and parents.
The siblings became even more like fire and water.
Upon hearing that Huo Yan had actually given a hairpin to a girl, Huo Miaomiao immediately became jealous and asked, "Who did Huo Yan give the hairpin to? Xu Qingyun?"
A hint of annoyance flashed in Ji Yaxuan's eyes. "Hmm."
Huo Miaomiao's eyes reddened slightly. "He won't even give it to me, but he's giving it to a woman who isn't even his sister-in-law yet."
She couldn't understand it. How could a brother not like his sister?
Ji Yaxuan knew her daughter was upset. "Miaomiao, be good, don't be sad."
Huo Miaomiao didn't say it, but how could she not be upset?!
She was going to Nancheng to find her father and see what kind of girl her brother liked!

Hotel Presidential Suite
Huo Xize sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed and a lit cigar between his fingers, adopting the posture of a big boss.
He stared coldly at the old man opposite him, his powerful aura not diminished in the slightest by the fact that the other party was the head of the most powerful family in Nancheng.
In fact, Huo Xize's aura was even stronger than Ye Boyun's.
"Mr. Ye, please speak frankly." Huo Xize said in a cold voice with a half-smile.
Ye Boyun sat up straight, took out the jade pendant from his pocket, and smiled as he flattened it in his palm.
"Does Master Huo recognize this?" Ye Boyun asked with a smile.
Huo Xize's body stiffened for a moment, then he raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Ye Boyun's smile widened. "Let's not beat around the bush. This is for Jiajia, isn't it?"
"You're overthinking it." Huo Xize wasn't fooled.
Ye Boyun wasn't annoyed. "Huo Xize, Xiaoyun is your and Jiajia's daughter, right?"
"Although no one knows how you and Jiajia got together back then, the truth will eventually come out, and you had Xiaoyun with her."
"I found it strange before that Master Huo from Haicheng would come to Nancheng to interfere in my Ye family's affairs. It turns out that he is Jiajia's man, my son-in-law."
Huo Xize sneered, "Patriarch Ye must be senile. When did I become your son-in-law?"
Ye Boyun remained calm and composed. "Whether it is true or not, you should know in your heart that I brought this jade pendant here today for the good of the Huo family. If it is revealed that Xiaoyun is your illegitimate daughter, the Huo family will probably be the next Ye family."
Huo Xize suddenly burst into laughter, "Ye Boyun, you're threatening me?! Hahahaha, do you think Haicheng calls me Master Huo?!"
Ye Boyun naturally understood.
Huo Xize is ruthless and a madman feared by both the underworld and the legitimate world!
The Huo family was not originally in their hands. Huo Xize used tricks to kill his uncle and son, thereby seizing the right to inherit the Huo family.
Even towards his father, Huo Xize was equally ruthless. He was now in charge of the Huo family, so everyone feared this Master Huo.
Ye Boyun has experienced many ups and downs in the business world. The Ye family fell from its peak to its lowest point, but he was still able to persevere. How many people can match his courage?
"Huo Xize, this jade pendant must be very important to you. My request is simple: help the Ye family overcome this crisis, and I will return it to you... Huo Xize!"
Before Ye Boyun could finish speaking, Huo Xize snatched the jade pendant, startling Ye Boyun so much that she gasped and instinctively raised her voice, calling Huo Xize's name!
Huo Xize held the jade pendant, a bloodthirsty sneer suddenly appearing on his cold face, and he slammed the jade pendant hard onto the marble coffee table!
Snap!
With a loud cracking sound, the jade pendant shattered instantly, breaking into pieces.
Ye Boyun's pupils shrank sharply, and he was so shocked that he couldn't believe his eyes!
Huo Xize put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly and arrogantly: "Ye Boyun, it's just a jade pendant, do you think I would care?!"
"You think you can threaten me with this?!"
"Furthermore, you're too presumptuous. If Xiaoyun were my daughter, how could I possibly let the Ye family off the hook after how they treated her and Jiajia?!"
"My woman was hurt, my daughter was hurt, so naturally I, Huo Xize, will destroy the Ye family to avenge my daughter!"
Ye Boyun's head went blank, and he felt a chill instantly envelop him. He was actually intimidated by this man!
After a long while, Ye Boyun finally snapped out of his fear, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Huo Xize, have you thought this through? If you destroy my Ye family, no one will be able to intimidate the Ji family!"
"Two tigers cannot share one mountain! The Ji family's ambition has always been to be number one in the world, and they will eventually devour the Huo family!"
Huo Xize smiled sinisterly, "If Xiaoyun were my daughter, what would it matter if I handed over the Huo family?"
Ye Boyun was startled again, "You...aren't you afraid that Huo Yan will turn against you?! He should inherit the Huo family. Have you asked Huo Yan if he agrees?!"
"If Xiaoyun is my sister, then the Huo family is the grand dowry I, as her brother, have prepared for her! Destroying the Ji family is my second great gift to her!"
Huo Yan's voice suddenly rang out.
