Chapter 572: Helpless
Chen Chen sighed and continued, “Xiao Lin, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’re really too much this time. How could you secretly run out for plastic surgery without telling us? You even went to that kind of hospital. If Huo Tian hadn’t arrived in time, do you know what would have happened? You were so obedient since you were young. Why are you so rebellious now? You’re too disappointing!”
Chen Lin’s eyes were filled with tears and she looked aggrieved. However, she knew that she was in the wrong and could not say anything else.
On the other hand, Huo Tian was a little awkward. He stood up and said, “You guys chat first. I’ll go out for a smoke.”
With that, he closed the door and went out. When he reached the smoking area of the toilet, he lit a cigarette and smoked.
His face was filled with worry. Because he had been searching for Chen Lin for a few days, he did not have the time to shave or change his clothes. Other than his posture, which revealed that he was not an ordinary person, his image was already considered sloppy.
However, Huo Tian did not care about this at all. His heart was a mess.
Everyone knew that Chen Lin had clearly gone for plastic surgery for him. Chen Chen also knew. In order not to embarrass everyone, Chen Chen just did not put it on the surface.
However, Huo Tian was really helpless. He felt that he had already done his best and did not know what to do. It seemed like from the moment he volunteered to take care of Chen Lin, everything had changed.
Could it be that his choice in the beginning was wrong?
Now that Chen Lin had become like this for him, he did not know what to do.
Could he only accept Chen Lin? As soon as this thought appeared, Huo Tian immediately wanted to slap himself. Chen Lin was impulsive. Had he lost his mind too?
Chen Lin was his little sister. No matter how foolish she was, as the older one, he had to guard his bottom line and not give in.
At the thought of this, Huo Tian sighed.
After Chen Lin recovered, he planned to have a good talk with her.
“Lin Lin, tell me, did you go for plastic surgery because of Huo Tian?” Chen Chen asked angrily when he saw Huo Tian leave.
Chen Lin looked up self-righteously and said, “Brother, you clearly know. Why are you still asking?”
“Are you stupid? How many times have I told you? You’re not the same as Huo Tian. He’s already married. Be it in terms of mind or character, the two of you don’t match at all!” Chen Chen was furious at her attitude.
To be honest, because of Bai Ran, he was indeed a little jealous of Huo Tian, but he did not deny that Huo Tian was a good person. He was upright and responsible.
However, Chen Chen knew even better where his sister’s feelings came from.
It was just that when she was young, her parents were busy with business. Later, they sent her overseas to study, so they cared less for her. Over the long term, Chen Lin lacked the love of some elders.
At this point, Chen Chen felt extremely guilty. An elder brother was like a father. Logically speaking, he should give more care to his sister, but Chen Chen also had his own family mission. He took over the management of the family business as soon as he graduated and did not have the time to care too much about his sister.
What he could give her were endless money and material goods.
Therefore, every time she saw a man like Huo Tian, who was older than her and was outstanding and filled with charm, she could not help but be a little gentle to him.
Chen Chen knew that this was not her fault, but how to guide her next was really a big problem.
He did not watch her well and let her hurt her body. She even went under the knife.
Now, he could only hope that Chen Lin would recover well and not have any sequelae.
Chen Chen had put in a lot of effort, but Chen Lin did not appreciate it. She said, “Brother, I knew you would never understand me. You just think that my feelings for Huo Tian are abnormal. You always think that I’m a child. If not for your thoughts, I wouldn’t have reached this stage!”
Looking at Chen Lin’s tearful face, Chen Chen was a little shocked. Did she really think so?
Perhaps so. He had always felt that Chen Lin was a child. Her feelings were immature, and he had never felt that this relationship was worth taking seriously.
Chen Chen tried hard to adjust his emotions and said, “Xiao Lin, I understand how you feel. I don’t think your feelings are childish and ridiculous. If you think so, I apologize to you. Maybe your feelings are really sincere. If you really think Huo Tian is someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life, I’ll respect that, but…”
