But that sharpness is fleeting, making it difficult for anyone to notice.
After that, Huo Yan reverted to his old ways as a spoiled brat.
Picking at his ear, Huo Yan shrugged and said, "When did this happen? I don't remember almost killing you."
Huo Miaomiao burst into tears, "You can remember which supermodel has a mole on her butt, which female celebrity has an F-cup, but you can't remember that your own sister is allergic to cherries, right? I'm going to tell Mom!"
I'm so heartbroken!
I'm so heartbroken!
Huo Miaomiao was so angry that she immediately video-called Ji Yaxuan, and burst into tears as soon as the call connected.
Ji Yaxuan asked helplessly, "What is it now?"
"Mom, are you going to do anything about my brother? He's heartless, cruel, and cold-blooded! He's seducing someone else's girlfriend!"
Ji Yaxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Really? What's the big deal? They're not even married yet. If your brother can snatch it away, it just proves my son is capable."
"It's Xu Qingyun!" Huo Miaomiao roared, "Ji Hanchen, my cousin's woman!"
Ji Yaxuan frowned. "Give the phone to Huo Yan."
Huo Miaomiao glared at Huo Yan with her eyes as red as a rabbit's, "Mom's looking for you!"
Huo Yan casually took the phone and said with a fawning smile, "My goodness, whose daughter is this? So young and beautiful, she's practically a fairy descended from heaven."
Upon hearing this, Huo Miaomiao immediately stopped crying in anger, Xu Qingyun raised her eyebrows, and even Ji Hanchen was speechless.
Ji Yaxuan scolded him, "You're such a chatterbox. You're twenty-five years old and still don't have a proper job."
"I'm serious, Mom, you're the most beautiful."
Huo Miaomiao gritted her teeth in anger, "You always use the same trick to coax Mom, can't you come up with something new! And Mom, at her age, gets all flustered when someone compliments her on looking like a young girl!"
"None of your business." Huo Yan glared at Huo Miaomiao.
Ji Yaxuan sighed helplessly and amusedly. Although her tone was stern, you could hear the doting in it: "Your sister is petty, so you, as her brother, should be more accommodating."
"Yes, yes, yes." Huo Yan agreed. "Huo Miaomiao, did you hear that? Mom says you're petty."
Huo Miaomiao yelled, "Mom!"
Ji Yaxuan pinched the bridge of her nose. "Alright, you two, can you stop playing around? Huo Yan, are you serious about Xu Qingyun?"
Huo Yan's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "Mom, of course I'm serious."
"If you can take it, I won't interfere. As for your father and grandfather, I'll figure something out."
Huo Yan was so moved he almost cried: "Mom, why are you so good to me?"
Ji Yaxuan chuckled, "Stop being silly, just stop causing me trouble."
"Yes, ma'am. Love you, mwah."
Huo Yan pouted at the screen; if it weren't for his incredibly handsome face, this gesture would have been extremely greasy.
Ji Hanchen's expression was grim. "Huo Yan, don't push my limits again!"
Huo Yan burst out laughing and said to Ji Hanchen, "Look at my mom, and then look at your mom. Quickly record what just happened and send it to her. The era of 'competing moms' has arrived."
Ji Hanchen's face was darker than ever before. He snatched the phone away and said, "Keep an eye on your son! Yunyun is mine."
"cold……"
Before Ji Yaxuan could finish speaking, Ji Hanchen hung up the video call.
With the speed of a Sichuan opera face-changing act, Huo Yan immediately tossed the phone back to Huo Miaomiao.
"Go ahead and tell on me, keep telling! Do you think Mom will care? Huo Miaomiao, you're not actually Mom's biological child; she picked you up from the trash can."
Huo Miaomiao trembled with anger, "I hate you."
She ran out in anger.
Huo Yan's smile gradually faded, his previous nonchalance giving way to a serious expression.
After a moment, he looked at Xu Qingyun.
"Little sister, I'm leaving. Huo Miaomiao is narrow-minded. Don't do anything rash or cause someone's death."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "Okay."
After Huo Yan left, Ji Hanchen sat down on the edge of the bed, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "What does Yunyun think?"
Xu Qingyun narrowed her clear, cold eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "It's strange."
Ji Hanchen raised an eyebrow. "What's so strange about it?"
"Huo Miaomiao must be jealous. I can feel that she really wants Huo Yan to love her like other brothers dote on their sisters."
"Huo Yan doesn't exactly hate Huo Miaomiao, but he definitely doesn't like her. He's perfunctory and indifferent. And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that his words are meant to sow discord, as if he wants Huo Miaomiao to hate Ji Yaxuan and think that Ji Yaxuan is biased."
"As for him and Ji Yaxuan, I feel there's a hidden rivalry beneath the surface of harmony. On the surface, it's a picture of motherly love and filial piety; Ji Yaxuan is an extremely doting mother, while Huo Yan is a spoiled child, but..."
Xu Qingyun paused for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled Ji Hanchen's collar, their faces almost touching.
"Ji Hanchen, if my intuition is correct, Huo Yan is my brother, which proves at least two things."
"First, your aunt deliberately spoiled Huo Yan; second, Huo Yan knows his own identity and also knows your character, Ji Yaxuan, but he has been pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
"Also, I always feel like my brother is sending me a message. He actually wants me to know that he is my brother."
Ji Hanchen smiled gently and pressed a kiss to her lips. "Yunyun's thoughts coincide with mine. I think so too."
Xu Qingyun took a deep breath and murmured, "What exactly happened to my mother back then? Since Huo Yan was her son, then what about her relationship with Huo Xize..."
She originally wanted to say, since she had given birth to Huo Yan with Huo Xize, why didn't she marry Huo Xize?
But upon closer reflection, her mother was just a girl who grew up in an orphanage. Even though Fu Yue raised her, her status was still what it was. How could the Huo family allow her to enter their home?
