Chapter 8 Big Brother

• "Yang Xue."
• Yang Xue walked over and helped me clean up the debris on the ground. Looking at my pale face, she looked at me with concern.
• "I... I'm fine."
• I put down my almost stiff hand and shook my head at Yang Xue.
• "Don't lie to me. You don't look fine at all."
• Yang Xue sighed deeply, looking helpless.
• I lowered my eyelids, hoarsely said, "I... want to go out for a walk."
• I had been in the hospital for almost half a month, and I was feeling suffocated.
• "Alright, I'll accompany you."
• Yang Xue supported me and we walked around the hospital garden. As we strolled and chatted, my mood improved a lot. Just when we were chatting in the rose garden, I noticed someone across the way staring at me. I instinctively turned my head to look, but all I saw was a figure quickly turning around, facing away from me.
• "Huo Chengjin."
• "Yang Yi, what did you say?"
• Yang Xue tugged at my clothes, her brows furrowed as she asked.
• I snapped out of my thoughts, rubbed my tired eyes, and said, "It's... nothing."
• Did I just see Huo Chengjin's shadow?
• It must have been my imagination. How could Huo Chengjin possibly be here? He should be with You Jia right now.
• My heart inexplicably ached, feeling uncomfortable. Despite my efforts to suppress it, I couldn't deceive myself.
• "It's getting windy. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Let's go back to the ward and rest."
• "Okay."
• I regained my senses and forced a smile at Yang Xue.
• As Yang Xue supported me, about to return to the ward, a figure suddenly rushed out and excitedly shouted at me, "Nan Yi, I finally found you."
• "Big Brother? What are you doing here?"
• I looked at my big brother, who appeared in front of me, surprised.
• "Isn't it to find you? Such a big thing happened, and you didn't even tell us? Nan Yi, you're really ungrateful."
• I didn't know what he was talking about, but his presence here definitely had something to do with money.
• Although it was ironic, it was also a fact.
• My family only remembered my existence when they needed money.
• "If you came to visit me, the visit is over now. You can go back. It's too late to catch a ride later."
• I lowered my gaze and spoke indifferently to my big brother.
• My big brother was unhappy and blocked our way with Yang Xue.
• "You told Mom that you divorced Huo Chengjin and lied to us that you didn't take a penny from him. Nan Yi, what you did really hurt our hearts."
• "Nan Yi is in such a state, and all you care about is money. Are you even human? Besides, she did divorce Huo Chengjin and really didn't take a penny from him. If you have any ideas about her divorce settlement, I advise you to give up."
• My big brother's words angered me. Have I given my family too little money over the years?
• They didn't care about my divorce, only about how much money I took from Huo Chengjin.
• Money, money, money. In their eyes, they couldn't see anything else except money.
• I was about to speak, but Yang Xue spoke up before me.
• However, my big brother obviously didn't believe what Yang Xue said and thought I was lying.
• "Do you really think I haven't seen the news? Huo Chengjin is the heir of the Huo Group, the richest man in Beijing, worth billions. Mu Nanyi is Huo Chengjin's wife, so she should have received several billion in the divorce. She hid the money and lied to us. She's worse than an animal."
• "Mu Nanyi, you're really something. You married into a wealthy family and kept it a secret from us. Are you afraid we'll ask you for money? How much money do you have saved now? Show it to me."
• My big brother's words sent a chill down my spine.
• I didn't want to explain so much to him. I shook off his hand reaching out to me and said calmly, "I don't have a single penny, and also, whether you believe it or not, I only found out that Huo Chengjin is the CEO of the Huo Group after divorcing him."
• "So you were deceived by Huo Chengjin?"
• My big brother's eyes flickered as he grabbed my arm and asked.
• I frowned, "What kind of twisted thoughts are you having? The Huo family is not something we can climb up to."
• I knew my big brother's character too well. He had been spoiled by our parents since childhood, lazy and full of mischief. He would do anything for money.
• I was genuinely worried that he would go to the Huo family and get himself killed.
• After witnessing these so-called wealthy people, I knew their hearts were cold, and their blood was cold too.
• Just like... Huo Chengjin and You Jia.
• "What twisted thoughts? As your big brother, I will definitely help you seek justice. Just wait and see, I will make them pay."
• My big brother waved his hand at me with a disgusted expression and ran off.
• "Big Brother, Mu Qiang, come back here."
• I watched my big brother leave, feeling frustrated and wanting to chase after him, but I accidentally felt discomfort in my abdomen. It was unbearable.
• Yang Xue supported me and persuaded me, "Enough, don't mind him. I don't believe your big brother would really dare to provoke Huo Chengjin. Unless he wants to die."
