Chapter 690: 692 Spoiled and Arrogant (6)_1
Huo Jinxue remained silent.
What woman wouldn’t love a man like the second brother?
But then again, the second brother never really treated any other woman that well!
Huo Jinxue looked at Che Huan, wondering if her claims were true, if Grandfather and Huo Jinyun really caused the death of her maternal grandparents, could her love for the second brother really transcend all that?
What if it were her?
Thinking about the second brother’s tenderness and kindness towards Che Huan, as well as his impressive qualities, she thought she might be able to accept it, right?
After all, the second brother was not involved, he had never harmed Che Huan’s maternal grandparents, and considering how the second brother even took a near-breaking stance with Huo Jinyun and Grandfather because of the eldest brother and mother!
Che Huan shouldn’t have any reason to hate the second brother, right?
She looked at Che Huan, "So, did you marry Gu Jizhou for revenge at first?"
Che Huan shook her head, "I married Gu Jizhou five years ago, thinking he was Xiaowei’s father."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinxue stared at Che Huan for a while, "Then... then you and my second brother didn’t know each other when you got pregnant?"
Che Huan’s expression turned cold, "For details about that, you should ask your second brother."
"..."
Huo Jinxue remained silent, she didn’t dare to ask! If she were to ask the second brother, he’d probably throw her out of the window! But then again, do she and Gu Jizhou really not have a marital relationship?
Such matters were tough to inquire about, so she didn’t speak up again.
Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Che Huan stopped speaking further and closed her eyes to rest, leaning on the sofa.
Huo Jinxue watched Che Huan, remembering the words she had said during her last visit, paused, and her gaze fell on Che Huan.
"You... you must really love my second brother."
Che Huan remained silent.
Sitting there, Huo Jinxue thought about the incidents on both occasions, and it all boiled down to feeling uncomfortable because of Che Huan’s previous marriage with Gu Jizhou—it irritated her, especially seeing how good the second brother was to Che Huan!
And then there was the mother’s issue—
"About the contract matter last time, did my second brother really lose money?"
Che Huan, leaning on the sofa, said in an indifferent voice, "The original documents from both sides were lost, what do you think?"
Huo Jinxue blushed and looked down, "I didn’t think too much, I just wanted—"
Thinking how she just wanted to make the second brother doubt Che Huan, she didn’t know how to continue, "Did... did my mom not know about the contract?"
Che Huan, "She didn’t know."
Huo Jinxue looked at Che Huan, "Then did you tell my second brother?"
Che Huan opened her eyes, looked at Huo Jinxue, "He told me, I didn’t know anything about it before."
Huo Jinxue stared at Che Huan, "Does he... does he trust you that much?"
Che Huan smiled, "It’s not that he trusts me, it’s that he trusts himself, he has the ability to discern right from wrong sufficiently."
"..."
At that, Huo Jinxue suddenly found herself at a loss for words, and had to admit that Che Huan knew the second brother better than she did!
...
When Huo Jinnan returned home with Zhong Qin, he saw Huo Jinxue and Che Huan in the living room, Huo Jinxue sitting there dressed in Che Huan’s clothes, watching Che Huan intently, while Che Huan was reading a book on the sofa.
Seeing Huo Jinnan and Zhong Qin enter, Huo Jinxue stood up, "Second brother, Mom."
Zhong Qin ignored Huo Jinxue.
Huo Jinnan also remained silent.
Huo Jinxue stood there feeling uneasy, "Mom, I was wrong. I should not have said that."
Zhong Qin asked softly, "Was what you said not what you’ve always thought deep down?"
Huo Jinxue bowed her head, "Mom, I’m sorry."
Huo Jinnan glanced at Che Huan, then set his gaze on Huo Jinxue, "Come with me to the study."
