Chapter 132: Meeting a Stunning Person When I Was Young
Jian Jiaren's breath stagnated, and she said in disbelief: "But isn't he getting married?"
She had only been in Beicheng for half a day, and she had already heard a lot about the Huo family.
Huo Beisi was highly valued by Huo Qizhen, and now the entire consortium was basically centered around him. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the one in charge of the Huo family in the future.
"He's getting married, but... we don't even know who the bride will be."
Yi Huan sighed helplessly, holding Jian Jiaren's arm. His waist was a little sore from walking, so he just pounded his waist with his hand, not noticing how surprised the woman next to him was.
Jian Jiaren felt mixed emotions for a moment, she asked in a low voice tentatively: "What you just meant is, your elder brother hasn't been in love in the past ten years?"
"It's not that he hasn't been in love in the past ten years, he has never been in love."
Yi Huan said frankly, straightened his waist and looked at the beautiful Jiaren beside him, "My elder brother is busy with his career and has no interest in women. What about you, Sister Jiaren, why don't you have a relationship?"
She and Huo Beisi are of the same age, and are also in their thirties. It's okay if they are not married, but it's a bit outrageous that they have never been in love.
"I..."
Jian Jiaren's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes, and spoke with a bit of bitterness: "When you meet someone too stunning when you are young, it is difficult to be attracted to others."
So that's how it is.
Yi Huan widened her eyes in surprise, "Then... who was that young man who made you stunning?"
Young man, isn't it when he was in his teens.
At that time, she was in Beicheng. She
was childhood sweethearts with her two brothers!
A bunch of fireworks suddenly exploded in Yi Huan's heart, and a somewhat absurd but very reasonable idea grew in her mind:
her eldest brother has always been single, and Jian Jiaren has also been single, these two people... can't be a mutual crush, right?
Yi Huan was surprised by her own idea.
So at this moment she was eager to verify with Jian Jiaren, but she didn't say anything more.
"Forget it, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
She smiled, her crescent eyes were like the crescent moon in the sky, and tears were flashing in the corners of her eyes.
This smile made people feel distressed and sad.
"Why don't you say it?"
Yi Huan held her and said seriously, "Life is only a few decades long, what if your young man likes you too?"
Jian Jiaren shook her head and answered firmly: "He doesn't like me."
"No vision."
Yi Huan had automatically identified Jian Jiaren's young man as her eldest brother.
"It's not his fault, there have always been many people who like him, and I'm not special."
Jian Jiaren said.
This made Yi Huan feel more distressed for her.
Perhaps because talking about the past brought up a sad past, Jian Jiaren said goodbye and left without talking to Yi Huan for a few words.
The Jian family was quite far from the Huo family, and today was New Year's Eve, so Yi Huan did not keep her and sent her away.
Afterwards, Yi Huan went into the house, caught the housekeeper and asked, "Where is my second brother?"
"The second young master is in his room."
Yi Huan went directly to Huo Nanting's room.
The door was not locked, so Yi Huan knocked on the door and went in.
Huo Nanting was playing a game with headphones on, playing very passionately, cursing that his teammates were playing him.
Yi Huan walked over and took off his headphones.
Huo Nanting's curse words came to his lips, but when he saw that it was Yi Huan, he silently took them back.
"Sister, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Huo Nanting glanced at the screen. Great, he was dead.
This crappy game, I won't play it anymore!
Yi Huan moved a chair over and sat down, and asked Huo Nanting straight to the point: "Second brother, does Sister Jiaren like Big Brother?"
"Ah?"
Huo Nanting didn't react for a moment to who the "Sister Jiaren" she was talking about was.
"I just ran into Jian Jiaren downstairs, and we took a walk and chatted for a while."
"Oh, Jian Jiaren."
Huo Nanting pouted, looking indifferent, leaned over to take a candy from the computer desk, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth.
"She used to like big brother."
"Yes!"
Yi Huan made a victory gesture with her fist, which made Huo Nanting stunned. "What's wrong with you? What did she tell you? She doesn't still like big brother, does she?"
Huo Nanting suddenly smelled the smell of gossip, pulled the gaming chair closer, and went over to ask Yi Huan: "It's been ten years, isn't she too infatuated?"
"She didn't tell me who it was, I guessed it myself."
Yi Huan puffed out her chest and said proudly.
"Tsk."
Huo Nanting exclaimed, "I knew it."
It turned out that Mr. Jian was not having a last burst of light before his death, but hinting at something.
Although Jian Jiaren left for ten years, she came back once in the middle. The old man must know what his granddaughter is thinking.
"Why doesn't big brother like her?"
Yi Huan pinched his eyebrows, looking like he was defending Jian Jiaren.
Huo Nanting raised his eyes and looked at her, "There were so many people who liked big brother at that time."
"Tell me about it."
Yi Huan pricked up her ears and put on a proper posture to listen to the gossip.
"Ahem."
Huo Nanting cleared his throat, "Before the car accident, big brother was the son of the richest man in North City. He was handsome, well-educated, elegant and graceful. He was simply the prince charming in the eyes of those rich girls in North City. At that time, let alone Lady Jian, many wealthy families in other places heard the news and wanted to get engaged to the Huo family."
"But, my eldest brother is cold and dull. When he was young, he was devoted to scientific research... Oh, by the way, my eldest brother used to be an aviation technician. He interned at the National Aeronautics Research Institute when he was in college. Now there are parts designed by him in the space capsule."
Yi Huan interrupted him, "Hey, I want to hear about Jian Jiaren and my eldest brother. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
In a word, his eldest brother was very awesome when he was young. Isn't it over if many people like him?
"Right away."
Huo Nanting continued: "Jian Jiaren has liked my eldest brother since she was a child. She confessed to him when she was sixteen, and then my eldest brother rejected her. Because my eldest brother went to college when he was sixteen."
Yi Huan: ...
She seemed to understand Jian Jiaren's inferiority complex.
"Later, when she was eighteen, she confessed her love to my eldest brother again, but he rejected her again. Because at that time, my eldest brother received an offer from a research institute and was going to do research."
"Jian Jiaren studied dance, and my eldest brother was always busy and never had time to watch her performances. Later one day, Jian Jiaren handed my eldest brother and me a ticket each and asked us to watch her performance, saying that it might be her last performance in North City because she was going abroad."
"Then what?"
Yi Huan became excited.
"Then..."
Huo Nanting shook his head, "My eldest brother had a car accident."
Yi Huan's smile froze, "...the day you went to see her performance?"
"No, the day before."
Huo Nanting said, "So my eldest brother and I didn't go to that performance."
