at the same time.

Lin Xingran still looked confused and in a dazed state.

Isn't she an orphan?

When did I have another brother?

The atmosphere in the car was extremely heavy, as if even the air had frozen.

Huo Yan sat in the driver's seat, turned his head slightly, looked at Qiao Qin softly, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Take Siqian back to rest first."

Qiao Qin nodded slightly, holding the child and left silently, leaving Lin Xingran and Huo Yan standing in silence in the car.

There were only two people left in the narrow space.

Lin Xingran's heart was full of doubts and confusion. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but she didn't know where to start. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

until.

Huo Yan broke the silence, his voice low and calm, as if he was lost in distant memories.

"The story begins eighteen years ago..."

"Mr. Huo wanted to get the Huo family's assets, so he swapped you with Huo Xiaofei when you were born."

"Then he used the fake identity of a rich girl to threaten Huo Xiaofei and monitor our location. In that kidnapping case, my parents died. I luckily escaped and have been living in hatred ever since. It was not until recently that I discovered your identity..."

After listening to Huo Yan's story, Lin Xingran felt extremely complicated.

She didn't expect that her life experience was so rough. It turned out that she was not an abandoned orphan, but a blood-thicker-than-water relative who had been looking for her.

Lin Xingran couldn't help but burst into tears, and shouted with a choked voice: "Brother..."

Huo Yan looked at Lin Xingran with deep eyes, and a trace of emotion appeared on his face, which usually did not show his emotions.

He reached out his hand, touched her head stiffly, and said in a low and firm voice: "From now on, no one can bully you."

Lin Xingran could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears, her tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Huo Yan stayed by her side silently, allowing her to vent her emotions.

After half an hour.

Lin Xingran finally sorted out her emotions, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not like this usually. By the way, brother, why do you always wear a mask?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she was not familiar with Huo Yan and was too embarrassed to ask.

Huo Yan froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal and explained calmly, "My face was burned in the accident, and I was afraid I would scare you."

Hearing this, Lin Xingran shut her mouth instantly, her eyes full of heartache. She stopped asking questions and just stayed by Huo Yan's side silently.

After the two siblings chatted for a while, Huo Yan suddenly said, "There will be a charity dinner tomorrow, and a car will come to pick you up. I will announce your identity at the dinner."

There was an unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Obviously.

Huo Yan still remembered what happened to Bo Yufen just now, and a hint of obvious displeasure flashed in his eyes.

His sister would not allow anyone to look down on her.

......

Night falls quietly, and the stars dot this bustling city.

The hotel was brightly lit, with luxury cars parked at the door. The guests coming and going were dressed in gorgeous gowns, with elegant smiles on their faces, and their every move revealed an indescribable elegance.

Lin Xingran stood in a corner of the hall, carefully stroking her evening dress. The diamonds dotted on the hem of her skirt shone brightly under the lights, as if the entire night sky was contained in the hem of her skirt.

Such a dress would undoubtedly be an unattainable luxury for her at ordinary times, but at this moment it was just an ordinary piece of clothing on her body.

Lin Xingran took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner tension, but beads of sweat still appeared on her palms involuntarily.

Qiao Qin noticed her nervousness and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Xingran. Huo Yan is here even if the sky falls. What are you afraid of?"

Lin Xingran couldn't help laughing, turned to look at Qiao Qin beside her, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Her former best friend became her sister-in-law, and her godson became her nephew. This wonderful fate made her both surprised and moved.

At this moment, Huo Yan's figure appeared not far away. He was wearing a light-colored suit and black trousers, which made his legs look even straighter and longer.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. Those big bosses who were showing off their power outside also gathered around him at this moment, with flattering smiles on their faces.

They tried to get closer to Huo Yan and gain more resources and opportunities through him.

"Mr. Huo, this is your wife, right? She is even more beautiful than a star."

"Mrs. Huo is not only beautiful, but also talented. I have been to Huo's Jewelry before and was deeply attracted by her designs."

"You have such good taste. These two are a perfect match made in heaven."

He could hear the guests' flattery constantly, but Huo Yan was used to it and there was no expression on his stern face.

He suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. The surroundings immediately became silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for what he would say next.

"Today, I have something important to announce to you all."

Huo Yan's voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the hall. He paused for a moment and continued, "A lot of things happened during the time I was missing. One of the most important discoveries was that I found the second young lady of the Huo family who had been missing for more than 20 years - my biological sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

The guests were whispering and talking to each other.

"What! Huo Yan's sister?"

"Wasn't there a second young lady of the Huo family before? I think her name was Huo Xiaofei, how come it became Lin Xingran again?"

"That happened a long time ago. It is said that the second young lady was a fake, and it seems that she committed suicide because of something."

"However, if anyone becomes Huo Yan's sister, it would be like stepping into heaven. I envy that person so much."

At this moment, Huo Yan walked up to Lin Xingran and took out a natural pink diamond necklace that he had just bought at the auction. There was a rare hint of tenderness in his tone.

"This is my gift to you."

Lin Xingran was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to refuse because it was too expensive.

next second.

Qiao Qin pushed her elbow, her voice full of encouragement: "Accept it, it's a token of your brother's love."

Lin Xingran thought about it before accepting it. The dazzling pink diamond necklace around her neck indicated her new identity.

There were envious looks all around, and people were whispering and discussing.

"If I remember correctly, this necklace was just sold for 100 million. This gift is really... expensive."

"It's more than just valuable. Mr. Huo should be trying to tell us how much he values ​​this new sister. We must never offend her in the future."

"By the way, am I the only one who thinks she looks familiar? She seems to be the celebrity who had a scandal with the young master of the Bo family before."

.......

at this time.

Huo Yan spoke again and dropped a bombshell.

"I have decided to transfer 10% of Huo's Jewelry's shares to Xiaoran as a dowry. This can be regarded as compensation for her suffering outside these years."

Ten percent of the shares!

One person said with regret: "It's a pity that she is with the young master of the Bo family, otherwise, I would be willing to marry into her family for the shares."

"You are out of date. Mrs. Bo forced them to separate before. It seems that she looked down on Miss Lin's status. Now she is regretting it on purpose." Another person explained.

"In other words, Miss Huo is single now?"

Everyone present had red eyes and their breathing became heavier.

Lin Xingran was a little at a loss, but Huo Yan had already left with Qiao Qin, and young talents kept coming up to her, so she could only bite the bullet and talk to them.

"Wouldn't this be a bad idea?" A hint of worry flashed across Qiao Qin's eyes.

Huo Yan didn't care and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with that? I don't like that kid from the Bo family, and something like that happened before. It's just a good opportunity for me to make more friends and help her divert her attention."

His sister, Huo Yan, deserves someone better.

Qiao Qin thought about it and felt that it made sense. Besides, because of the previous incident, she was indeed dissatisfied with Bo Zhili.

at the same time.

"Ah-"

Bo Zhili sneezed, rubbed his nose, looked at the security guard who was blocking his way, and shouted angrily: "I told you my girlfriend is in there, let me in."

"Sorry, Mr. Huo told you not to go through." But the other party kept blocking him, looking ruthless and impartial.

Bo Zhili tried to force his way in several times but was forcibly driven out.

"Sir, if you do this again I will call the police."

The person in front of me has a tough attitude.

Bo Zhili kicked the tree trunk next to him hard, and leaves fell all over his back.

Damn!

He just saw the circle of friends and found out what happened at the dinner party. What’s the difference between this and finding a son-in-law for Lin Xingran in public?

The most disgusting thing is that he also received messages from his friends.

[Brother, I heard that you were with Miss Lin before. What does she like and what are her hobbies? ]

Nowadays, people don’t even try to hide the fact that they are stealing other people’s girls.

Bo Zhili became anxious in an instant and rushed to the dinner scene from home, but found that he was blacklisted and could not enter at all.

Huo Yan, you are so cruel!

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, and he walked towards the security guard again, but this time he did not force his way in. Instead, he spoke calmly.

"Please tell Huo Yan that I know a secret of his, a very important secret, about his other identity."

After half an hour.

Bo Zhili finally met Huo Yan. The two stood in a damp and dark secret room, looking at each other without saying a word.

The air seemed to be frozen and the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

At this time.

Bo Zhili finally spoke, with a mocking arc on his lips: "Should I call you Huo Yan or Huo Shiyan?"

He has a special ability that allows him to distinguish the different smells on each person. Although other people cannot smell it, he seems to be able to distinguish people by their different smells since he was a child.

And Huo Yan and Huo Shiyan taste the same!

When Bo Zhili first discovered this, he couldn't believe it. He had no idea what the purpose of the person in front of him was in planning all this.

however.

For Lin Xingran, he had no choice but to tell this secret. This was also his only bargaining chip with Huo Yan.

"You've been wearing a mask. You probably don't want Qiao Qin or Xiao Ran to know your other identity."

Bo Zhili's eyes flickered slightly, and the mockery on his face became more and more obvious. Don't think he doesn't know that Huo Shiyan was one of the people who hurt them. Do you think that the matter will be over if you change your vest?

There was dead silence in the secret room, and only the sound of dripping water could be heard.

Huo Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Bo Zhili with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He doesn't allow anyone to ruin his current life.

Just quickly.

Bo Zhili continued to speak, and met those bottomless black eyes with gritted teeth, "I can keep it a secret for you, but there is a condition, you can't stop me from seeing Lin Xingran."

There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

There was silence for a long time.

Huo Yan looked at him deeply, his voice hoarse.

"Okay, but you better do what you say."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away. As the footsteps became farther and farther away, the suffocating feeling in the secret room eased a little.

Bo Zhili took a deep breath, and before he knew it, his back was soaked with cold sweat. The pressure from Huo Yan was so strong that for a moment he even thought that the other party would really kill him.

just.

In order to be with Lin Xingran, he must risk his life.

at the same time.

The dinner was still going on, but the protagonist had become Lin Xingran. Countless young talents were standing beside her, all of them were wildly courteous to her.

"Ms. Lin, I heard that you like singing. I know a composer who can write a song just for you."

"Oh, composing music is nothing. My Zhang family is willing to invest in a drama and let Miss Lin play the leading female role."

......

Lin Xingran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She used to run around everywhere to get a few resources, but now they were all delivered to her door.

but.

Her eyes flickered slightly and she rejected them all. These people approached her with a purpose, not for pure feelings, so there was no need to get to know them.

"Sorry, I'm a little tired."

Lin Xingran rubbed his temples, pretended to be tired, left the hall and returned to the lounge.

After all, she was Huo Yan's sister, so the others didn't dare to go too far and could only watch her leave with a smile.

She thought she could finally have some peace and quiet, but just as she sat down, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Xingran frowned as she looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared in front of her. Although he looked handsome, the smile on his face made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"what's up?"

Her tone was somewhat cold.

However, the person in front of him didn't seem to notice and continued to say enthusiastically: "I heard that you had a headache just now. I asked the kitchen to make you some sour plum juice. You should feel better after drinking it."

Lin Xingran was stunned for a moment, took the sour plum juice, said thank you, and then closed the door.

She put the cup aside and sat on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by sleepiness and her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

what happened?

She clearly didn't drink that glass of plum juice!
