The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Chapter 62 Digging and Digging at the Corner of the Brothers

Huo Shen's head was about to explode.

He looked at Ruan Yang blankly, "...Teacher Ruan, aren't you Nian Nian's teacher? Why is someone else the one who added me on WeChat?"

Ruan Yang still didn't understand what had happened, and just shook her head, "No, I'm not Nian Nian's teacher."

Huo Shen paused, "But on that rainy night, you were the one who stayed with Niannian waiting for her parents."

Ruan Yang explained, "...That day, Teacher Qiao Wei was going to meet her online boyfriend, so she asked me to cover for her."

Huo Shen remained silent.

After a moment, he understood.

The things that had puzzled him before suddenly became clear, as if peeling back layers of an onion.

As expected, the girl who initially messaged him was someone who was dumping her students on someone else in order to snag a rich husband.

No wonder, his profile picture when he requested to be friends was a small moon, but the person who added him was a small rose.

The photo isn't heavily photoshopped.

Whenever he offered Ruan Yang a gift in person, she refused to accept it.

She readily accepted online transfers or gifts delivered through intermediaries.

It's because they're not the same person at all.

He was wrong from beginning to end.

He took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Wei.

He grew up abroad and received a straightforward education.

So he spoke up in front of everyone:

"Teacher Qiao, right? I made a mistake before."

"You messaged me on Douyin, saying you wanted to get to know me. I found out by chance that you are Niannian's dance teacher, and I'm not comfortable leaving my little sister with you."

"But Niannian is introverted and doesn't like to change teachers easily, so I wanted to test you. I arranged to meet you in person, and I deliberately picked Niannian up very late to see what you would choose."

"That day, it rained heavily. I went to Xingcan and only saw Teacher Ruan with Niannian. I fell in love with her at first sight and mistook her for her teacher."

"Later, I added you on WeChat under the pretext of inquiring about Niannian's study progress, and I didn't expect it to be you."

"..."

With each word Huo Shen spoke, Qiao Wei's face grew paler.

Huo Shen added, "Since I've admitted my mistake, you don't need to return the previous transfers. But you must return the bag; I chose it for Teacher Ruan. As for Niannian's future classes—"

"It just so happens that all of Xingcan's teachers are here, and I hope that Teacher Ruan will teach Niannian ballet."

The colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment.

I don't know how to answer.

Qiao Wei remembered that her colleague was still nearby, and immediately clenched her palms, filled with regret.

She shouldn't have brought her colleagues today!

What she wanted was to let everyone see her glory.

Unexpectedly, it was a grand and elaborate funeral.

She bit her lip hard, a wave of embarrassment washing over her.

It turns out that when she met her online boyfriend in person, the guy was late not showing up, but rather testing her.

But she handed this opportunity over to Ruan Yang.

Qiao Wei clutched her skirt, unwilling to admit defeat, and protested, "No, that day Ruan Yang deliberately looked after Niannian for me to show off—otherwise, you should like me!"

Huo Shen shook his head. "No."

Why?

Huo Shen looked troubled. Should he really tell her?

He remained silent.

Even though he didn't say it, everyone could guess.

What else could it be but looks!

Feeling truly embarrassed, her colleague tugged at Qiao Wei's sleeve, "Weiwei, let's go."

Qiao Wei shook off her colleague, the slap mark on her cheek still stinging.

She covered her face and looked at Huo's mother, "No matter what, you can't hit me! My mother has never hit me!"

Mrs. Huo didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

She said, "Do you know whose property the Half Hill Manor is? You used foul language on the Jiang and Yao family's territory. My Huo family can't afford to lose face like that. There are surveillance cameras here, recording what you just said. Go ahead and sue me wherever you want. My Huo family doesn't need that little bit of compensation."

"The Jiang family!" Qiao Wei's eyes lit up.

It turns out that the Half-Mountain Manor was owned by the Jiang family.

Isn't my sister's boyfriend the second young master of the Jiang family?

Qiao Wei regained her confidence.

She began, "My future brother-in-law is Jiang Zhuo, the second young master of the Jiang family!"

The words were spoken.

The audience was silent.

Qiao Wei thought she had intimidated them and felt relieved.

She stared at Huo's mother again, stubbornly saying, "I want you to apologize to me!"

Mrs. Huo glanced at Ruan Yang, then looked at Qiao Wei strangely and asked, "What did you say?"

Qiao Wei said smugly, "Young Master Jiang is currently traveling with my sister. Their wedding is just around the corner, and my sister will be getting half of this hillside estate in the future."

Upon hearing this, Huo's mother quickly glanced at Jiang Yanci and Ruan Yang's expressions.

She interrupted Qiao Wei, "Your sister? Everyone in Beijing and Hong Kong knows that Yangyang and Jiang Zhuo are getting married next month."

What?

This time, not only Qiao Wei and her colleagues were shocked.

Huo Shen was also plunged into deep confusion.

"Mom, who are you talking about?"

Huo's mother glanced at her son, feeling distressed as well.

Xiao Shen is almost thirty and finally wants to settle down, but why has he fallen for someone else's wife?

If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would have gone all out, using either money or force to get it for her son.

But she just happens to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family...

Huo Shen's head buzzed as he looked at Jiang Yanci.

"...Yan Ci, is Teacher Ruan the younger sister who was fostered in your family?"

Jiang Yanci's hand was still wrapped around Ruan Yang's waist. His cold eyes swept over his friend's pale face, and his thin lips parted.

"right."

Huo Shen nearly lost his balance.

...The girl he liked was actually Jiang Zhuo's girlfriend, whom he had always thought was spoiled and domineering?

He was incredibly envious of Jiang Zhuo!

With such a beautiful and gentle girlfriend, why would he go to a bar with his cronies?

No wonder Ruan Yang grabbed his ear and dragged him home.

No, Teacher Ruan is so gentle, it must be those people spreading rumors.

The banquet was in complete chaos.

Huo Shen was not the only one surprised.

When Qiao Wei learned Ruan Yang's identity, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Ruan Yang is actually Jiang Ershao's fiancée?

Yes, she and her sister both knew that Jiang Zhuo had a girlfriend.

But Qiao Wei always encouraged her sister, saying that success depends on human effort.

The older sister had too strong a sense of morality and couldn't take the first step, so she helped her sister forge medical records.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhuo softened immediately after learning about his sister's illness and accompanied her on trips everywhere.

I heard that the two of them were staying in the same hotel room.

A lone man and a lone woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, how could they not do something?

But Qiao Wei didn't expect it.

Ruan Yang turned out to be Jiang Zhuo's girlfriend.

Colleagues: "..."

Before, when Qiao Wei was at Xingcan, she always talked about how loving her sister and the second young master of the Jiang family were.

But she didn't say that her sister was a mistress.

Everyone silently took a half step back, keeping a distance from her.

Qiao Wei was not only in pain from the slap mark on her face, but also furious.

She had never been so embarrassed since birth.

What mistress? The one who isn't loved is the mistress!

Qiao Wei gritted her teeth.

She stared at Ruan Yang, and her eyes narrowed when she saw the man's hand on her waist.

"What kind of good person is Ruan Yang? Jiang Zhuo isn't here, and she's still getting along famously with other men! We all saw it just now; it was this man who carried Ruan Yang into the car."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huo Shen interrupted.

He knew his friend was very traditional.

How can one be happy when publicly accused of having an affair with their younger siblings?

Rumors are like that; with enough word, even falsehoods can become truth.

He spoke up, "That's Jiang Yanci, the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

Qiao Wei froze abruptly.

Jiang Yanci, the person in charge of the Jiang family.

Her sister had mentioned it to her, saying that Jiang Zhuo's credit card had been suspended by her older brother, Jiang Yan, and that he was asking her for money.

"...Was the person who carried Ruan Yang into the car the eldest young master of the Jiang family?"

The Xingcan group members nearby also suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the man exuded such a strong aura when he got out of the car at the school gate, so strong that it made people overlook his superior appearance.

It turned out to be Jiang Yanci, the richest man in Beijing and Hong Kong.

"It rained just now, and my shoes are made of sheepskin, so they can't get wet. That's why my older brother carried me," Ruan Yang explained.

Reasonable.

Qiao Wei's face was extremely pale.

She inadvertently met Jiang Yanci's gaze. Although his eyes were devoid of emotion, his dark pupils appeared cold, sharp, and gloomy in the dimming light, sending chills down one's spine.

Jiang Yanci raised his hand, and two security guards came over.

"Please ask this young lady to leave."

"Yes."

The security guard was very polite and did not touch Qiao Wei at all during the entire process.

Qiao Wei was still feeling fortunate.

But soon, she realized how terrifying Jiang Yanci was.

The banquet officially started.

But Huo Shen, the protagonist tonight, couldn't be happy.

He was feeling down and sat on a chair by the pool, lost in thought.

The person in charge of the banquet approached anxiously. "Young Master, are we still going to have the confession fireworks tonight?"

Huo Shen lowered his eyes, about to say "cancel".

My phone vibrated.
