Chapter 500: 500, are you bullying your elder sister-in-law behind my back again?

Clearly, Huo Zhexi had now learned his lesson.

At the very least, he knew he had to act more respectful in front of Huo Jingshen.

Looking at Zhexi’s face full of sycophantic smiles, then thinking about what Mingzhu just said during their phone call, and then thinking about Bai Ruwei…

Someway or another, Su Wanwan found him to be a bit pitiable.

The Huo Family currently had three children. Huo Jingshen was the eldest grandson who had returned from overseas and inherited the family business, becoming the most distinguished among them.

The second child, Huo Nuanyang, although not involved in the family business, is now responsibly leading a whole special training team in Team X. He made it to a high position and accomplished remarkable achievements at the age of only twenty-eight. The future was limitless for him.

Contrasted with two such brilliant brothers, Huo Zhexi can certainly be seen as somewhat… spineless and useless.

Every time the Huo Family gathered, she could clearly see that Huo Juncheng, his father, didn’t regard this youngest son highly. As for Mingzhu, she simply treated him as an ignorant kid. The grandfather seemed even more disdainful of this grandson.

Perhaps it was empathy, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but think of herself.

Compared to Su Yanyan, the docile and intelligent girl, she was the least favored one in the Su Family. Every time Su Yuntang saw her, he was full of contempt, disgust, and impatience.

Sometimes acting rebellious, refusing to study, or even picking fights was somewhat intentional. Because only then would the elders focus on her, even if their gazes were prejudiced…

Su Wanwan picked up the cellphone.

Having checked it over, she was relieved that it wasn’t broken. Otherwise, she would have made him pay for it!

Seeing that Su Wanwan picked up the phone, Huo Zhexi discreetly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Big Brother, what a coincidence that you are dining here too?”

“Am I not allowed to dine here?”

With Huo Jingshen’s rhetorical question, Zhexi’s back turned cold again. He quickly responded, “No, no, I was just showing concern for you.”

Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes, “So, what are you doing here?”

“I’m having dinner with my girlfriend.”

Huo Jingshen arched his handsome eyebrow, “Girlfriend? Which girlfriend?”

“Uh.” Huo Zhexi didn’t want to discuss his personal life. He glanced at his watch and said, “Big Brother, I need to get back.”

Who knew, Huo Jingshen asked directly, “Were you bullying your sister-in-law behind my back again?”

“Brother, I was wrong. I just… slipped up. I promise I won’t do it again!” Huo Zhexi quickly raised his hands to swear.

Huo Jingshen glanced at Su Wanwan, his eyebrows slightly raised, “Is my darling okay?”

“I’m okay.”

On hearing this, Huo Zhexi immediately cast a doubtful gaze at Su Wanwan.

She hadn’t resorted to her usual tactics of having his brother back her up?

That wretched girl must be cooking up some scheme!

Huo Jingshen’s impatient voice rang out, “You can get lost now.”

“Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law!” No more thinking was needed from Huo Zhexi, he was eager to leave, so he fled at once.

Darn, he had been scared to death. He swore he would steer clear of that wretched girl in future! Not spare her a single word!

Turning the corner and entering a private room, he saw Bai Ruwei sitting and crying.

Huo Zhexi rushed over, “Xiaowei, why are you crying?”

Bai Ruwei gazed at him with a pitiful face, “Zhexi, will your parents not be coming today?”

“They had sudden urgent matters and couldn’t come. I’ll arrange it for another time.” That’s all Huo Zhexi could say.

“Do they think I’m not worthy of you?”

“No such thing. They just don’t understand you.” Huo Zhexi couldn’t help but start complaining, “It’s all Su Wanwan’s fault, that wretched girl. She’s close with my mom. She’s definitely said bad things about you to her.”

Bai Ruwei was stunned, “Are you talking about Wanwan?”

“Yes, I heard her tipping off my mom by phone earlier.”

“There’s no way!” Bai Ruwei interrupted him, “She’s helped me out, not once but many times. Wanwan is a good person, you must be misunderstanding her.”

“Misunderstanding her? Haha, that wretched girl is wicked. Finally managed to hook up with my brother and marry into the Huo family. Now, even my grandparents like her, and so do my parents. Last time when the semester started, they gave her a bunch of gifts. Now, she is practically the Huo family’s celebrity.” Huo Zhexi comforted his girlfriend, “In the future, avoid having any contact with her. Su Wanwan used to be a little hoodlum, you cannot compete with her.”

Bai Ruwei sat there, deep in thought.

After a while, she suddenly said, “Zhexi, let’s break up.”

On hearing her words, Huo Zhexi was astounded, “What did you say?”

“Your parents don’t agree. We can’t be together.” Bai Ruwei said and started crying again, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have had such foolish hopes. I knew it all along, we’re just not from the same world. Zhexi, let’s break up and not meet anymore!”

After that, she ran out of the private room without taking any of her belongings with her.

When Huo Zhexi chased after her, she was nowhere to be seen.

He reached for his phone to call her, only to remember that he had thrown it down the toilet.

Shoot!

A private room next door.

On returning with Huo Jingshen to their private room, they found that Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan had already arrived.

“Oh, our sister-in-law is here too?” Having known her for about half a year, Chu Xiuhuang is now comfortable and fluent in calling her “sister-in-law.”
