Volume One, Chapter 140: The Fierce Brother-in-Law

Hearing Ye Zhun's question, Ye Sheng didn’t find it strange in the slightest. The siblings were both straightforward by nature—if there was something to say, they said it, saving time.

Regarding this matter, Ye Sheng’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Brother, who wouldn’t like Lin Ge?”

“...”

Ye Zhun was speechless. “Is that guy really that good?”

Ye Sheng chuckled softly, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. “He’s very good to me. Extremely good.”

Ye Zhun’s gaze grew heavy as he stared intently at his sister. This was the little rose he had raised with his own hands. Honestly, he wouldn’t trust anyone else with her.

If not someone else, then better to entrust her to Huo Lindong.

But the Huo family...

Ye Zhun thought of Ye Sheng’s heartless ex-husband and held no good impression of the Huo family—just the thought of them filled him with displeasure.

“You know the relationship between Huo Lindong and Huo Mingting, right?”

Mentioning Huo Mingting, the smile on Ye Sheng’s face vanished instantly. At that moment, the expressions on both siblings’ faces were the same—an indescribable coldness.

“I know,” Ye Sheng said. “But in my heart, Lin Ge is Lin Ge, and Huo Mingting is Huo Mingting. They have nothing to do with each other.”

If at first she felt some resentment upon learning that Huo Lindong and Huo Mingting shared the same surname ‘Huo,’ after spending time with Huo Lindong day and night and gradually scraping the past from her heart, she no longer cared.

No one can decide their origins, but the future is always in their own hands.

—

That very afternoon, Huo Mingting ran into Ye Zhun at the entrance of the apartment complex.

...This was his brother-in-law.

The thought flashed through Huo Mingting’s mind instantly, and he quickly added three words: former brother-in-law.

Ye Zhun was sandwiched between Huo Lindong and Wan Sandao—the three giants of the Chinese community in Y country. Naturally, their aura was formidable, and Ye Zhun was the most flamboyant of the three.

Huo Mingting felt his heart skip a beat as Ye Zhun gave him a cold glance.

Ye Sheng was walking ahead, holding Huo Xiaobei’s hand. Huo Xiaobei waved to Huo Cong, “Huo Cong, we’re going out to eat. Do you want to come?”

Before Ye Sheng could introduce, Huo Xiaobei tugged Huo Cong over to Ye Zhun and introduced, “This is my second uncle and also your uncle. Oh, and this one is your real uncle.”

Huo Cong and Ye Zhun looked at each other in stunned silence.

The uncle and nephew met so unexpectedly.

Huo Cong looked at Ye Zhun. This uncle seemed a little fierce, but he wasn’t afraid.

After all, his parents and Xiaobei were by his side; no matter how fierce this uncle was, he wouldn’t eat him.

Seeing the child staring at him so intently, as if challenging who had bigger eyes, Ye Zhun’s fierce gaze was intended to scare the child, but this little one wasn’t afraid.

Ye Zhun raised an eyebrow playfully and mischievously pinched Huo Cong’s cheek.

“...”

Huo Cong frowned in displeasure. Before he could swat away the large hand, Huo Xiaobei did so first, stepping in front of him.

“Second uncle, you can’t bully my brother,” Huo Xiaobei said seriously.

Remembering the children’s generation, Ye Zhun let out a light chuckle. “This is your brother?”

“Yeah.” Huo Xiaobei nodded earnestly, hooking Huo Cong’s hand and exchanging a secret look only the two of them understood. “It’s only a matter of time.”

Huo Mingting stepped forward a few paces, glancing at Ye Sheng and signaling her, “Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Ye Sheng thought to herself: There’s no need.

“This is my brother, Ye Zhun,” she introduced perfunctorily. “My ex-husband, Huo Mingting.”

Huo Mingting was speechless.

Judging by that tone, it sounded like she was embarrassed to mention him.

“Nice to meet you, Boss Ye,” Huo Mingting extended his hand toward Ye Zhun. “Huo Group, Huo Mingting.”

Ye Zhun was exceedingly rude and didn’t shake it. Instead, he let out a cold snort from his nose. “You’d better keep your distance. If you get too close, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my fists.”
