Chapter 26: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Ah Da looked indifferent. He glanced at Huo Guangchun, who was extremely excited, then walked to Su Youran and stood beside her, asking her softly:
"Is it cold?"
The voice was gentle, completely different from the expression.
Su Youran shook her head in amusement. Before she could say anything, Ye Jiuzhou's hand was already on her shoulder:
"If Ranran is cold, I will warm her up."
Ah Da had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard what was said. Huo Guangchun was stunned for a moment, then shouted again:
"Xun'er?"
Su Youran smiled at him apologetically, “Uncle Huo, A-Da… um…”
She seemed to suddenly not know how to address the man next to her. Ah Da looked down at her:
"No matter who I am or what my name is, I will always be just Ah Da in front of you."
I will always be your only Ah Da.
Ye Jiuzhou sneered:
"Come on, how can such a casual name like Ah Da be worthy of Master Huo?"
He embraced Su Youran and pulled her towards him:
"Of course, I'm about to get my status back, but I can't be like before. Mr. Huo won't be happy."
Ah Da looked at Ye Jiuzhou with a cold look in his eyes:
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I have known the young lady for many years, much earlier than you have known her. How we get along is a matter between us and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Including you, your fiancé who suddenly appeared.
Ye Jiuzhou snorted and laughed: "Are you confident now?"
Before when we met you were just shooting cold arrows at each other from behind, but now you're confronting us head on?
It turns out that status and position are the essence of a person’s courage.
Huo Zhenyao looked at the two men on Su Youran's left and right, wishing he could shoot a bullet at each of them!
He suddenly said:
"This... gentleman, he is somewhat similar to my brother, but a few years have passed, and the boy has grown into a young man, so his face must have changed. I haven't seen my brother for a few years, and I'm not sure what he looks like now. I wonder if you have anything that can prove your identity?"
Huo Zhenyao gave a bitter smile:
"I believe everyone can understand that we want to find our brother but are afraid of finding the wrong person. Father, what do you think?"
People have similarities, but we cannot conclude that he is Huo Zhenxun just because he looks like him. What if he was specially found by Ye Jiuzhou to be a thorn in the Huo family?
By then, the Huo family would really be handed over to others.
Huo Guangchun looked hesitant and looked up and down at the man in front of him again. He really did look like Xun'er.
But there were some changes in his appearance, and his temperament was not as gentle as he remembered.
He looked particularly cold and sharp in front of me.
Ah Da looked at Huo Zhenyao with an inexplicable expression. He had been standing there before the banquet started. He had been paying attention to Huo Guangchun and Huo Zhenyao since they came in.
After watching for a long time, some images seemed to begin to flash in his mind.
At this time, Ah Da faced Huo Zhenyao and asked, "You were the one who threw my dog into the water, right?"
Huo Zhenyao's body trembled, his emotions churning violently. As soon as he saw this man, he knew that this must be Huo Zhenxun. From childhood to adulthood, the person he hated the most was him!
Why should he be trampled into the mud and tortured, while Huo Zhenxun can be bright and beautiful and praised by everyone, even though they are both descendants of the Huo family and sons of Huo Guangchun?
Huo Zhenyao is not convinced!
He couldn't choose his birth, nor could he choose his mother, so why should the grudges of the previous generation involve him?
Whether it was Xiao Yuan who tortured him personally, or Huo Guangchun who watched coldly, or his brother who was treated so differently from him, they all deserve to be punished!
It's ridiculous to say, why did the servant listen to him? The root of the problem lies with Xiao Yuan.
The servant's brother accidentally soiled Xiao Yuan's favorite piece of clothing, so Xiao Yuan ordered him to be beaten. However, the man was so frightened and injured that he didn't survive.
How could his family not hold a grudge against him when he lost his life just because of a piece of clothing?
But Xiao Yuan couldn't imagine that she didn't even remember that the person she chose to be by her biological son's side had a brother who had been punished because of her.
How could Huo Zhenyao not find this ridiculous? How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Huo Zhenyao didn't have to make any effort to persuade the servant and his family. He didn't care how to implement it, as long as he knew that the result was that Huo Zhenxun would never come back.
He even let the family go after gaining power and gave them a lot of hush money.
But I didn't expect that the servants didn't get the job done!
Originally, Huo Zhenyao thought that since he had lost his memory, he should just not admit it.
Without evidence to prove that this person is Huo Zhenxun, he can plant the seeds of doubt in Huo Guangchun's heart. Even if he is brought back to the Huo family in the end, Huo Zhenyao can still suppress him and make him unable to get up.
Who would have thought that fate was so unfair to him that it made him remember it right away.
The dog that Ada was talking about was a pug he raised when he was a child. It was very smart and cute. He liked it so much that he wanted to sleep with it.
The master likes it, and the servants serve it very attentively. It can be said that the dog is treated better than humans, at least better than ordinary servants and Huo Zhenyao.
Huo Zhenyao was indignant, and once when his servants were not paying attention, he threw the dog into the water.
Huo Zhenxun saw it at the time, but he didn't tell anyone. He just consciously stayed away from this half-brother from then on.
Now that this matter was pointed out by Ah Da, Huo Zhenyao gritted his teeth in hatred, while Huo Guangchun was surprised and excited:
"Xun'er, do you remember?"
Su Youran also looked at Ah Da happily. Did you remember? Ah Da smiled at her and shook his head gently:
"I don't remember everything, just some fragments."
He took off his suit jacket, revealing a spotless white shirt and a vest of the same color as his suit.
Ye Jiuzhou stared at him warily: "What are you doing?"
Do you have any sense of public morality when taking off clothes in public?
Ah Dalian didn't even pause as he handed the suit jacket to Su Youran. "Miss, please hold it for me."
Just as Su Youran was about to take it, Ye Jiuzhou pulled the clothes over to her and said, “I’ll do it. Be careful not to tire yourself out.”
Su Youran secretly pinched Ye Jiuzhou and rolled her eyes. What’s wrong with taking some clothes?
Ye Jiuzhou looked aggrieved and said, “I’m jealous, so you can only help me get my clothes.”
Ah Da's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became colder. He slowly rolled up his left sleeve, revealing a strong and powerful arm with bronze skin and well-defined muscles, which was actually a bit sexy.
Ye Jiuzhou stretched out his hand to block Su Youran's eyes and whispered in her ear:
"Don't look at his, mine is better looking. Come back and look at mine. You can look at it as long as you want."
Su Youran: ...
She maintained a decent smile on her face and quietly touched Ye Jiuzhou's waist with her hand. Ye Jiuzhou was just feeling a little comfortable and numb when suddenly a sharp pain came.
Su Youran grabbed the flesh around his waist and twisted it 180 degrees. The force was so strong that Ye Jiuzhou almost lost his strength due to the pain.
Ah Da, who was standing beside him, saw this little movement clearly, and he tightened his hands as he rolled up his clothes.
What an eyesore, that man. It would be nice if the lady had only him by her side.
Ah Da calmed his mind, before that he needed to return to the Huo family first.
With his sleeves almost completely rolled up, Ah Da looked at Huo Guangchun who was staring at him:
"I must have gotten burned when I was a kid. There's a scar here."
Huo Guangchun looked at the circular scar on his arm, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes! There is a scar! It was caused by you accidentally touching the fireplace when you were a child."
Xiao Yuan felt distressed for a long time and complained to him for several days about the servants' lack of dedication.
It was not until he replaced the servants around his son that Xiao Yuan stopped complaining. So Huo Guangchun remembered this incident.
He excitedly stepped forward and held Ah Da's hand:
"Xun'er! It's really you! God bless you, you didn't... Bah bah bah, luckily you came back safely. You don't know how much your mother missed you..."
Huo Guangchun's joy was beyond words. He was really happy that his eldest son was back. He had placed high hopes on this son since he was a child, and Huo Zhenxun had never let him down.
Knowing that he was missing, Huo Guangchun was almost half dead.
Moreover, compared to Huo Zhenyao, who is a treacherous man and may have hated him since childhood, Huo Guangchun certainly prefers Huo Zhenxun, whom he has loved and cared for since he was a child.
At least he won't hold any grudge against me.
Ah Da, no, it should be said that Huo Zhenxun looked at Huo Guangchun who was showing joy, his eyes were calm.
To him, whether it was Huo Guangchun, Xiao Yuan, or other people in the Huo family, they were just strangers to him.
He had no feelings for them and could not empathize with them. He wanted to return to the Huo family just to stand by his lady better.
Huo Zhenxun looked at Su Youran and said, “It was all thanks to you, Miss, for saving me and taking me in.”
Su Youran waved her hand and said, “Ada…how about I just call you Axun?”
Huo Zhenxun's eyes were warm only when he looked at her: "Miss, you can call me whatever you want."
"Then don't call me Miss anymore."
Su Youran laughed:
"You and I have always been equal. I saved you, but you also helped me a lot during those years abroad. Seriously speaking, I should thank you."
Huo Zhenxun couldn't help but show joy in his eyes, and he gently called out: "Then...Ranran?"
Su Youran agreed, smiling, “Yes, Xun.”
Ye Jiuzhou coughed twice unwillingly. I'm still here, why do you want to be so intimate?
Su Zhengming then came over with a smile and congratulated Huo Guangchun: "Congratulations, Brother Huo, you finally found your beloved son."
Huo Guangchun glanced at his eldest son, who had been staring at Su Youran, and responded to Su Zhengming with a more enthusiastic attitude than before:
"I have to thank you very much, Miss Ling. Without you, I might not have the chance to meet my son again. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Su Zhengming was polite to him:
"It's right. If anyone encounters a compatriot in need of help in a foreign country, they will do their best to help him."
Huo Guangchun laughed:
"That depends on the fate of the two of them meeting. Haha, it's all fate. It's the fate of our Su and Huo families!"
Ye Jiuzhou curled his lips in sarcasm: "God's will? Not necessarily! I think it's more of a human factor."
