Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Mom Has Fiery Eyes, You Better Behave

Both of them looked over at the same time.

They saw Huo Jiayuan, the family’s biggest handful, returning home.

Before they could speak, they heard Huo Jiayuan’s coquettish voice, "What are you two standing there for? Can’t you see how red my hands are from carrying all these bags?"

Huo Jingrui, her full brother, didn’t fall for her act. However, it was their much older brother, Huo Weidong, whose heart ached for her. "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

He hurriedly quickened his pace and took the bags from Huo Jiayuan’s hands. "These are seafood delicacies I had someone bring back from the south. Since I figured the whole family would be home today, I brought them all."

After finishing her explanation, Huo Jiayuan turned to Huo Jingrui, who hadn’t moved an inch. "Fourth Brother, what’s with that look?"

Huo Jingrui glanced at the items in his eldest brother’s hands. "You had someone bring them? Who did you ask?"

When Huo Jiayuan heard the question, she felt a momentary twinge of guilt. "Just an acquaintance. You wouldn’t know them."

Huo Jingrui, rarely seeing his sister with such an expression, said, "Alright, Mom has hawk eyes. You’d better watch yourself."

Huo Jiayuan wrapped her arms around Huo Jingrui’s arm. "Fourth Brother, how did you know?"

Worry filled Huo Jingrui’s eyes as he replied, "You know what Mom’s like. I don’t want to force you to choose, nor do I want to hurt her."

A wave of sadness washed over Huo Jiayuan, and her eyes began to moisten. "Brother, I’ve been dragging this out precisely because I don’t want to make Mom sad, but I also can’t break up with Shujian."

When Huo Weidong saw the two of them whispering, he asked, "What are you two whispering about?"

Huo Jingrui remained silent with a cold expression, while Huo Jiayuan said in a coquettish tone, "Big Brother, it’s nothing. I just asked Fourth Brother for a small favor. Come on, let’s hurry and take these things to the kitchen, or it’ll be too late."

Huo Weidong sensed his sister was hiding something, seeing her whispering with Old Four. He felt a little disappointed; after all, she was closer to Jingrui.

Huo Jiayuan noticed her eldest brother seemed troubled. "Big Brother, what’s wrong?"

Huo Weidong glanced at his younger sister and shook his head. "It’s nothing."
