Huo Yuanlu noticed Huo Beiting's glare and quickly forced out an innocent smile, raising his hand in a gesture of surrender towards him.
She moved her mouth slightly and spoke to him with her lips.
"I was wrong, dear brother, please spare my life."
He spoke in a very low voice and looked at Huo Beiting. He saw that his face was cold, as if he was really angry.
He quickly clasped his hands together and made an apologetic gesture, fearing that Huo Beiting would rush over and take his life. Given his personality, he had no doubt that this was possible.
Huo Beiting didn't want to bother with him at the moment. He just wanted to make the matter pass. He thought about it in his mind and explained it out loud.
"He's not my biological brother, he's a relative."
As he spoke, his voice was low, but one could hear his seriousness, and he explained to Yan Qing very patiently.
"There's nothing to hide from you. Don't overthink it. The situation is different from what you think. If it were true, I would tell you directly."
His attitudes towards Yan Qing and Huo Yuanlu are completely different.
Huo Yuanlu, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and was shocked when he heard him say this. His face showed a little jealousy and envy.
Huo Beiting doesn't even treat his own brother so well. There's really a huge difference between them. If you don't know, you would think that he is the one who doesn't want to do it.
Huo Yuanlu thought silently in his heart and wiped away a few bitter tears for himself.
His face remained expressionless as he was thinking about how to escape faster.
"No wonder I was wondering how a younger brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
After hearing his explanation, Yan Qing's face suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and she did not doubt his words too much.
"But, from what I hear, his tone sounds very familiar to you, and I feel like you two should have a very good relationship."
"It's okay. After all, he's my relative's younger brother, so I have to take care of him in every way."
Huo Beiting lied calmly, without any expression of guilt.
Huo Yuanlu listened at the side and couldn't help but sigh.
The next second, she felt a chill on her back. She looked up and met Huo Beiting's half-smile. She shuddered subconsciously and smiled awkwardly.
He made a zipper-on-the-mouth gesture, then lowered his head, sat on the sofa, drew circles, and muttered to himself.
If he had known this would happen, he would have said a few bad words about his brother to Yan Qing. At least it would have been worth it.
Huo Yuanlu secretly slapped his thigh in his heart.
What a loss!
On the other end of the phone, Yan Qing spoke with a smile, pursed her lips slightly, and her brows softened.
"He's a nice guy. If you have a chance next time, you can bring him out for dinner."
She had no other intention in saying this, she just wanted to establish a good relationship with him and express her apology to Huo Yuanlu.
She was still thinking about the phone call she had just hung up. Although he was just a relative's younger brother, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on others, so she said this.
But when Huo Beiting heard her words, his eyes darkened.
"No need, he's just a relative's younger brother, and he's a bit shy and not good at socializing with others."
He spoke calmly, talking nonsense seriously, with a tone that seemed to be very serious, completely ignoring the mood of Huo Yuanlu who was sitting next to him.
"And they taught him to me so that I could help him find a job. That's why they came to me and hoped that I could help him find a security job in the company. This would also help him practice his communication skills, which is also a disguised form of help."
Huo Beiting said this without blushing or feeling nervous.
Huo Yuanlu, who was sitting on the sofa, listened with a frown on his face.
How come he doesn't know that he is not sociable?
Huo Yuanlu, who was suddenly labeled as shy, expressed his innocence and was eager to explain, but before he could speak.
Huo Beiting glanced over lightly, without saying anything, but with a strong intimidating power.
Huo Yuanlu could only hold it back obediently, feeling like crying but unable to.
"I understand your feelings, and I will convey them to him. But there's no need to have dinner with him. We can just wait for the next opportunity and have dinner together."
After Huo Beiting said this, the last bit of worry in Yan Qing's heart disappeared completely.
"Then let's do as you wish. I called you mainly to ask about Liu Xiaoyun."
Yan Qing paused at this point, and continued hesitantly, "Last time, you said he liked me, is that true?"
Huo Beiting's eyes flashed, and he curled his lips slightly.
"Yes, but you didn't notice it, and you wouldn't believe it even if I told you. I simply didn't mention it anymore, but why did you suddenly ask this?"
As he said this, a possibility came to his mind.
His face was slightly cold and he spoke in a bad tone.
"Could it be that Liu Xiaoyun came to you and said something?"
Huo Beiting asked in a cold voice, and added another sentence before she answered.
"You can't trust his words. Don't listen to him. His sweet words may sound nice, but they are all lies."
Yan Qing didn't respond, but spoke vaguely, "That's not really flowery talk, it's just that something happened today."
Since she said so, she simply told Huo Beiting briefly what happened today, and then explained with a frown.
"My dad told me that, but I didn't believe it at the time. Later, when I got home, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. Suddenly, I remembered that you and I had also discussed this, so I came to ask you."
Huo Beiting sneered in his heart, his eyes flashing slightly.
Liu Xiaoyun is really amazing. He actually wanted to steal Yan's girlfriend from behind and even reached out to Yan's father. His actions were really quick.
Huo Yuanlu on the side was also listening with his ears perked up. He didn't expect the situation to be like this. He clicked his tongue twice and gave Huo Beiting a thumbs up.
For a moment, it was unclear who was being praised between the two of them.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know. I just wanted to ask. It won't affect anything else."
When Yan Qing heard that he didn't answer, she immediately added another sentence.
She was afraid that her request would put Huo Beiting in an awkward position, which could be said to be very considerate.
Huo Beiting certainly didn't want to miss this great opportunity. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, but spoke in a calm voice.
"That's right. Don't worry, it's not difficult for me. I can tell you that I don't think anything of him."
As he spoke, his mind raced, and he told Yan Qing all the negative information and points that could be used to discredit Liu Xiaoyun that he could think of.
Huo Yuanlu, who was standing by, twitched his lips when he heard this.
Is it really okay for him to slander Liu Xiaoyun in such a serious manner?
Huo Beiting didn't care about that. His tone was calm and his words were firm.
Yan Qing on the other end of the phone was stunned and even forgot to answer for a moment.
