Chapter 131 How come he is the same as my elder brother

? The two gentle and calm words seemed to hit Huo Beisi's heart at once. A

faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his internal organs seemed to be filled with cold wind, and he felt pain everywhere.

"What about you?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you married?"

Huo Beisi finally raised his head, and his calm eyes did not reveal anything, just looking at her.

Jian Jiaren smiled and shook her head, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "I have always been a person with little luck."

The study fell into a brief silence.

Until it was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.

"Brother, it's me."

Huo Nanting's voice.

"Come in."

Huo Beisi frowned and said lightly.

Huo Nanting pushed the door open.

He just came back from the living room, and couldn't stand the dog food of those two people, so he decided to come to find them.

"Jiaren, you're back."

Huo Nanting greeted her with a smile, "You're still so beautiful."

Jian Jiaren smiled faintly, "You too, you've always been handsome."

Huo Nanting sat down with a smile and poured himself a cup of tea.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you take me with you?"

"I heard from my second uncle that grandpa talked to Beisi before he died, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked me to ask."

"Ahem..."

Huo Nanting choked on a mouthful of tea, "He clearly..."

Halfway through, Huo Nanting suddenly realized something.

Tsk, so this is what the second uncle of the Jian family is thinking?

He clearly stood by and heard that the old man asked Huo Beisi to take good care of Jian Jiaren.

He was still wondering at that time, Jian Jiaren had been gone for ten years, how come it was his elder brother's turn to take care of her?

Could it be that the old man had a moment of clarity and his memory was wrong?

Now he figured it out.

Jian Jiaren liked his elder brother in the past, but his elder brother was not interested in her.

Now, the second uncle of the Jian family probably wanted to bring them together.

However, it has been ten years, not to mention that his elder brother didn't like her in the first place, even if he liked her, the feelings would have faded long ago.

Not to mention, his father is already looking for a suitable blind date for his elder brother, and they are going to get married in just two years.

Alas, why did he do that earlier?

Huo Nanting had an expression of regret.

"What's wrong with him?"

Jian Jiaren saw that his expression changed over and over again like a revolving lantern, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so she couldn't help asking.

"Oh."

Huo Nanting came back to his senses. "It's okay. He didn't say anything."

Huo Beisi glanced at him.

"Is that so."

Jian Jiaren pursed her lips. "Then... I won't bother you. I have something to do at home. I'll leave first."

As she said that, Jian Jiaren turned around to leave. Just after taking two steps, Huo Beisi's steady and clear voice came from behind: "He asked me to take good care of you."

Jian Jiaren paused, and tiny lines slowly cracked in her dark pupils.

For a moment, she froze there, not knowing how to react.

Huo Nanting looked at Jian Jiaren, then at Huo Beisi. For some reason, he felt that his presence was a bit redundant.

Huo Nanting sipped his tea silently without saying anything.

"I promised Grandpa Jian, so if you need help in the future, you can come to me."

His tone was flat, without any ups and downs.

Jian Jiaren slowly turned her head, with a curve on her lips, but no smile on her face.

"No need, I... I will go abroad after finishing Grandpa's funeral."

Under the desk, Huo Beisi's hand that was scrambling walnuts stopped, and he held one of the walnuts tightly.

"Really?"

His face still showed no emotion, "Never come back?"

The old man passed away, and she really had no reason to come back.

"Not coming back."

Her voice was very soft, but she bit every word heavily.

As she spoke, tears flashed in her eyes.

She was suddenly glad that at this time her eyes could be red without any scruples and would not arouse suspicion.

"Bei Si, goodbye."

A tear fell from Jian Jiaren's eyes, and she turned and left.

Her high heels stepped on the wooden floor, making a crisp sound, which became farther and farther away until it disappeared.

Huo Nanting looked at the open study door, thinking about her eyes when she just left, and suddenly asked to himself: "Brother, she doesn't still like you, does she?"

As soon as the words fell, the walnuts that Huo Beisi had been rolling in his hands for ten years suddenly rolled to the ground, along the wooden floor, and rolled to the door.

...

Yi Huan was supported by Bo Sili, so she asked Sister Hua to take her outside for a walk to digest the food.

As a result, she ran into Jian Jiaren head-on at the corner of the corridor.

The two almost collided.

Yi Huan staggered twice before she stood firm.

"Excuse me, are you okay?"

Jian Jiaren hurried over to check on her.

"Nothing."

Yi Huan smiled, and when they looked up, their eyes met.

Jian Jiaren was stunned when she saw her face, "You...you are Huo Chenhuan?"

She had heard from people in North City that the Huo family had found a daughter.

Now when she saw this face, she recognized it.

Huo Beisi had shown her a photo of his mother before, and she looked very similar to the girl in front of her.

Yi Huan smiled and nodded, "Who are you?"

"My name is Jian Jiaren."

Yi Huan suddenly realized.

She had just heard Huo Nanting talk about the Jian family, and she had a general understanding of it.

It turned out that she was Jian Jiaren, worthy of being the beauty who danced for the North City at a young age.

Jian Jiaren was not ostentatious and beautiful. She was like a delicate and unworldly narcissus, with an extraordinary temperament. She would definitely be the first one to be noticed in the crowd.

Especially at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was so pitiful that even a woman like Yi Huan could not help but be moved by her.

Yi Huan liked her when she saw her, and pulled her to take a walk together.

Jian Jiaren was originally in a bad mood and wanted to refuse, but because she was the daughter of the Huo family, she was given face.

Yi Huan and Jian Jiaren were walking in the garden, and Sister Hua followed behind.

The two chatted casually, and Jian Jiaren's mood gradually improved.

From Jian Jiaren's mouth, Yi Huan learned that she grew up with her two brothers.

Jian Jiaren is half a year younger than her eldest brother, and one and a half years older than her second brother.

Yi Huan thought to herself, how come none of her two brothers could win over such a beautiful childhood sweetheart?

It's really disappointing.

If any of the brothers married her, wouldn't she be his sister-in-law, and they could play together often in the future?

Jian Jiaren had a very indifferent face, and naturally she didn't think of the twists and turns that Yi Huan was thinking.

Until Yi Huan suddenly asked her gossipingly: "Jiaren, do you have a boyfriend?"

Jian Jiaren was startled by the question, "Huh?"

Weren't they just talking about food?

Why did they suddenly talk about boyfriends?

Jian Jiaren shook her head, "No."

"Then how long have you been single?"

Yi Huan looked at her excitedly, and almost asked her if she liked her two brothers.

Jian Jiaren smiled awkwardly, "Actually... I've never been in love."

Yi Huan:...

"How is it the same as my eldest brother?"

Just as outrageous.
