Chapter 188 - Street Smart
Chapter 188: Street Smart
In the end, Yuan Yuan sent Yuan Xi back first.
Huo Sisi actually didn’t say anything about this. She even said to Yuan Yuan with a smile, “See you at the hospital.”
However, before she left, Yuan Xi looked at Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu deeply. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
After the Yuan siblings left, the few of them wanted to leave too.
As soon as they walked out of the ski park, they were blocked.
There were 10-odd young men who looked like hooligans.
However, they were not those street thugs but the kind of hooligans that even the descendants of wealthy families dared not provoke.
The man in the lead had a cigarette in his mouth and looked very fierce.
This fierceness was not feigned. It came right from his bones.
He must have killed someone before.
The people who were blocked by them were not Yan Jinyu, Huo Siyu, or Huo Sisi, but Xiang Qing and Xiang Jie.
To be precise, it was Xiang Jie.
As soon as she walked out of the ski resort and saw this group of people, Xiang Jie was frightened and quickly hid behind Xiang Qing.
Xiang Qing was actually a little afraid too.
However, Xiang Jie was grabbing his clothes tightly. Furthermore, he was the only boy here. It would be very embarrassing if he hid like this. He braced himself. “W-What do you want to do?”
That person spat out the cigarette in his mouth and stared at Xiang Qing, “What do I want to do? The Xiang Family is so capable. You locked me inside for two months. Why? Have you forgotten that so quickly?”
“I’ve finally caught you!”
“I… If you didn’t take my cousin away, our Xiang Family wouldn’t have treated you that way. You took my cousin away, and our Xiang Family took revenge for my cousin and locked you up for two months. This matter is considered even. We’ve already agreed with your elder brother previously. W-Why did you—”
“Slap!” Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Qing was slapped across the face. The hooligan had used a great deal of strength, and he made Xiang Qing spit out a mouthful of blood.
“Cut the crap! I hate it when people reason with me the most! I’ll kill you if you say another word!”
He pointed at Xiang Jie, who was trembling behind Xiang Qing. “B*tch, why are you hiding? Come out now!”
Xiang Jie was so frightened that she cried. Seeing that Xiang Qing was unreliable, she turned around to look at Huo Sisi and then hurriedly ran behind her. “Sisi, Sisi, what should we do? I’m afraid.”
Huo Sisi patted her arm comfortingly. “It’s fine.”
She looked at the hooligan leader. “Brother Chen, Little Jie is my friend. Please don’t take issue with her on my account?”
The hooligan called “Brother Chen” lowered his head and sneered, “Miss Huo, your account isn’t worth anything to me. If you’re not the woman my brother likes, I’ll kill you too. Do you believe me?”
“Get lost if you know what’s good for you. I don’t want to fall out with my brother over a woman!”
“But, Brother Chen, Little Jie is my best friend. I can’t leave her behind.”
“So, Miss Huo, do you mean that you want to suffer together with her?” He sized her up with a light gaze. “Miss Huo looks more voluptuous than this bitch. Perhaps, it’s worth falling out with my brother for you.”
Huo Sisi paled. “I-I…”
“Don’t provoke me if you’re a coward. I won’t touch the woman that my brother likes. Get lost!”
“Little Jie, I-I’m sorry… I-I had no choice either.”
Looking at her hand that had been removed, Xiang Jie had a look of disbelief. “Sisi, y-you don’t care about me? Who did I provoke this bully for?!”
“If his brother hadn’t been pestering you, would he have targeted me if I went to argue with his brother for you?!”
“Huo Sisi, you’re actually leaving me behind!”
“Little Jie, I-I don’t have a choice either. You know that I’m actually not familiar with that person.”
Huo Sisi’s eyes reddened, and she looked like she didn’t want to do this either.
“Alright, Huo Sisi! Just you wait. As long as I’m not dead, I’ll get you for this!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
She walked away quickly and stood in front of Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu. “Brother Chen, I can’t interfere if you want to take Little Jie away. I’ll leave immediately too, but I want to bring my sister and her friend away!”
She looked as if Brother Chen wasn’t going to let Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu leave right from the beginning.
In fact, Brother Chen had indeed noticed the two of them. However, the two of them were walking behind Huo Sisi and the Xiang siblings. Brother Chen thought that they weren’t together with Huo Sisi.
It was undeniable that his eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. After all, the two of them were very beautiful, especially the long-haired girl. Her aura was inexplicably attractive.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea of having any designs about the two of them.
Because when the two of them saw the group of “bullies”, not only did they not panic at all, they even stopped and sized them up with interest.
He had been in South City for quite some time and he knew what he was doing very well.
He knew very well who he could provoke and who he could not.
He didn’t touch Huo Sisi not only because she was someone his brother liked, but also because she was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family.
Not everyone could shake the Huo Family’s status in South City.
Especially since the Huo Family had a sickly but ruthless Huo Xuan.
However, he did not show his fear of the Huo Family outwardly, so Huo Sisi always thought that he didn’t touch her because of his brother.
Huo Sisi’s younger sister?
Wasn’t she the daughter whom the Huo Family had lost and found after many years, Huo Siyu?
It was said that Huo Xuan doted on his sister very much. Huo Siyu was targeted at the Huo Family’s banquet and Huo Xuan crippled that person.
Huo Siyu was also the fiancée of the eldest son of the Qin Family in the capital. She lived with the eldest son of the Qin Family when she went to school in the capital.
Others might not know how formidable the young master of the Qin Family was, but people like them knew very well.
He was someone that they could not provoke at all.
When Brother Chen didn’t know their identities, he already dispelled his thoughts just by looking at their calm expressions. Furthermore, he now knew their identities.
“So it’s Second Miss Huo. It’s my pleasure to finally meet you.”
Huo Sisi’s expression froze.
She looked at the smiling Brother Chen and then at the smiling Huo Siyu.
How… did that happen?
But that shouldn’t be the case!
Wasn’t Chen Ye not afraid of the Huo Family at all? Even when she was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family, Chen Ye had said many light words in front of her and had never been so polite to her!
Why was he so polite to Huo Siyu? And even a little fawning over her?!
It was because she knew Chen Ye’s character and knew that Chen Ye and Xiang Jie had grudges that she specially invited Xiang Jie and Xiang Qing over. She also secretly sent the news of Xiang Jie’s location to Chen Ye through many detours in order to borrow Chen Ye’s hands to destroy Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu.
One had to know that Chen Ye had captured Xiang Jie because she was rather beautiful.
Xiang Jie wasn’t as beautiful as Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu. She knew that Chen Ye would definitely not let the two of them off when he saw them.
How could this happen?
What Huo Sisi did not know was that Chen Ye’s attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards Huo Siyu for three reasons.
Firstly, although Huo Sisi was the daughter of the Huo Family, she was an adopted daughter and wasn’t close to Huo Xuan.
Secondly, Huo Siyu was Qin Hao’s fiancée, and Chen Ye was afraid of Qin Hao.
Thirdly, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu were just standing there watching the show. Chen Ye, who had been around for so many years, had a feeling that they couldn’t be provoked.
“I’m Chen Ye, Chen Xiaotian’s younger brother. Second Miss Huo might not know us, but my brother has interacted with Young Master Qin before.”
Huo Siyu smiled. “You’re quite street-smart.”
She thought that she and Beauty Yu could finally exercise their bodies.
She had indeed never heard of the name Chen Ye, but she had heard of the name Chen Xiaotian.
He was almost in the same circle as them.
However, they were killers, Chen Xiaotian wasn’t.
Chen Xiaotian had interacted with Qin Hao before, which meant that he was not a simple person.
As for Chen Ye, it was actually not entirely the Xiang Family who got him in. It was Chen Xiaotian who wanted to teach him a lesson. He wanted to make him restrain his temper and so he had deliberately ignored him.
Chen Ye naturally knew that Chen Xiaotian had tacitly agreed to that, but he could not take it lying down. He had to settle the score with Xiang Jie.
Hearing Huo Siyu’s words, Chen Ye was even more certain that she could not be provoked.
Ordinary daughters of wealthy families would not have such an attitude towards outlaws like them.
“It seems like Mr. Chen and Miss Xiang have a personal grudge. How did Mr. Chen know that Miss Xiang would appear here today?”
“Although I’m not talented, I still have some brothers under me. In South City, I can still find someone’s whereabouts. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Second Miss Huo.”
Upon hearing that, Huo Siyu glanced at Huo Sisi and said mysteriously, “I see.”
Huo Sisi was really capable. She actually couldn’t find out anything about her.
If not for Chen Ye being tactful and her and Beauty Yu being ordinary girls, they might really have fallen into her trap.
Not only would Huo Sisi be fine, but she could also completely remove herself.
Amazing. If she had grown up in the Huo Family, she might not even be as capable as Huo Sisi.
“We’re together. I wonder if Mr. Chen can forgive Miss Xiang for now on my account? Of course, after today, I won’t interfere with whatever Mr. Chen wants to do. It’s just that today is my good friend’s first day in South City and it’s such a huge commotion. I’m worried that she will be frightened and return home right away. It wasn’t easy for me to invite her over.”
Huo Siyu was spouting nonsense in all seriousness.
She was not a saint, but she had received Beauty Yu’s instructions.
Yes, Beauty Yu wanted to watch the dogs fight among themselves.
Since they couldn’t find any evidence against Huo Sisi today, it seemed like a good idea to watch a dogfight.
Coupled with Beauty Yu’s words to Cao Ming at the ski park, Huo Sisi’s future would definitely not be good.
Xiang Jie’s eyes lit up when she heard Huo Siyu’s words.
As long as she was not taken away now and could return to the Xiang Family, her parents would interfere and give them some benefits. Chen Ye’s elder brother would then control him and she would not have any more trouble.
However, the premise was that she was not taken away right now.
No matter what Huo Siyu’s intentions were, she was grateful to Huo Siyu at this moment.
Chen Ye looked at the innocent and harmless Yan Jinyu who was standing there with a faint smile. He didn’t rashly ask about her identity.
He frowned and glanced at Xiang Jie before saying, “Alright, I’ll give Second Miss Huo face today.”
“We…” Let’s go!
Just as he was about to call his brothers away, he was interrupted by a voice, “Chen Ye.”
He turned back and another hooligan brought a few people over. “Why are you here?”
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? Wang Quan, are you following me?”
“You’re thinking too much. I heard that Sisi is here and specially came to look for her.” Wang Quan was Chen Ye’s “brother” who was interested in Huo Sisi.
After saying that, he looked at Huo Sisi with glowing eyes. Then, the rough-looking man straightened his suit and made a very gentlemanly posture. He looked completely weird. “Sisi, long time no see.”
Huo Sisi was furious. Now that she saw the person she hated, her expression was hideous.
“I’m not familiar with you.”
Wang Quan was probably used to being treated like this by her. He didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled, “Sisi, I’m going to be sad if you say this. We’ve known each other for five to six years now. I have chased after you for as long as we’ve known each other. Aren’t we considered close?”
As he spoke, Wang Quan suddenly saw Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu behind Huo Sisi. His eyes lit up again, “Sisi, who are these two?”
Huo Sisi was angry. Seeing that a man who had pursued her for so many years had actually noticed other women in front of her, and they were even the two people she hated the most, made her even angrier.
“My younger sister and her friend!”
“Your younger sister?” Wang Quan frowned. “The daughter that the Huo Family found and has snatched your position as the daughter of the Huo Family’s daughter?”
Huo Sisi’s eyes widened. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Another fool!
“Rainy is my sister. She’s the legitimate daughter of the Huo Family. What do you mean by snatching my position as the daughter of the Huo Family? What trouble are you trying to cause me?”
“Alright, alright. Sisi, don’t be angry. If you don’t like me saying this, I won’t say it. I’m the one who doesn’t like this daughter of the Huo Family. It has nothing to do with you.”
He raised his hand and waved. “Brothers, let’s invite this Second Miss Huo…” He looked at Yan Jinyu,” And this friend of Second Miss Huo back to be our guest with Second Miss Huo! ”
“Pfft.” It was Huo Siyu who chuckled. “Huo Sisi, what kind of weirdos do you know? You’re such a smart person. You’ve never left any evidence behind. Be it what happened at the banquet a year ago or today, even my brother was not able to find out about you. Why are you always making friends with these stupid teammates?”
Xiang Qing and Cao Ming were stupid, and Wang Quan was too.
Huo Siyu had no choice but to laugh.
She really couldn’t help it.
“Who are you calling a lousy teammate?!”
Huo Siyu looked over. “It’s whoever answers me.”
Her gaze turned cold. “If you have the guts, let your people continue to take a step forward.”
After saying that, she turned back to look at Yan Jinyu. “Beauty Yu.” This was Chen Xiaotian’s man. If she attacked, it would probably be difficult to clean up the aftermath. Especially since Chen Xiaotian knew Qin Hao.
She was asking Yan Jinyu if the trouble after the fight could be resolved.
Yan Jinyu chuckled. “Just do it. Chen Xiaotian still owes me a favor.” She meant to tell her that she could just do it. The news wouldn’t reach Qin Hao’s ears.
Everyone was already frightened by Huo Siyu’s aura. When they heard Yan Jinyu’s words, they stopped in their tracks.
Wang Quan was also a little afraid, especially since Yan Jinyu was so calm and Huo Siyu was so imposing.
However, this was in front of Huo Sisi, whom he had pursued for years. If he was frightened by the two girls, where would he put his face?
He puffed a sigh. “Stop bluffing! My boss owes you a favor? You were probably still playing with mud when my boss made his debut!”
“Brothers, go! Bring them back! How dare this b*tch tries to scare me!”
