Huo Jianan looked at his elder brother Huo Jialin in front of him, and almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Brother...you can't be arrogant!"
Huo Jianan always believed that the word "impulsiveness" was exclusive to him in the Huo family. His father is always so calm and cold, while his eldest brother and third sister are more rational and meticulous than him. He is different. From childhood to adulthood, he is often prone to troubles. Perhaps because of his mother's difference, he and his eldest brother have completely opposite personalities.
As far back as I can remember, my eldest brother has always disliked him. In other words, he has never liked his mother very much. In film and television dramas, the image of a stepmother is generally two extremes. Either she only pays attention to her own child and abuses her stepson, or she treats the two absolutely equally or even favors her stepson. But in reality, the stepmother is not as vicious as the face, but it is not in line with human nature to be a bowl of water. Perhaps because of this, the eldest brother Jialin is not willing to accept his mother and her child as his new family.
However, no matter what the eldest brother thinks in his heart, he usually only appears to be too polite to his mother on the surface, and still calls her "mother" in terms of address. However, now he didn't even bother to hide it.
"shut up!"
Huo Jianan watched his father Huo Tianheng sit up from the sofa, and continued: "I don't care what you are thinking, I will never agree to this marriage!"
"Father! Then why... Third Sister could..."
"You are different from her!"
As soon as the phrase "different" came out, the room fell into silence again.
Huo Jianan immediately looked at his mother, her expression turned pale at this moment. The hidden meaning of this sentence "different" has too many meanings if you interpret it carefully. For a long time, Jianan knew that... the father prefers the eldest brother. The mother knew, because she was the continuation, and she also knew the status of the elder brother's biological mother in the father's heart, so it was always difficult for her to avoid comparing herself with her. What's disappointing is that Jianan himself can't compare with his big brother in many ways. When Jialan graduated from high school and even gave up going to college and chose to get married, her father just said coldly, "It's up to you". Of course he also knew that many people in the town made sarcastic remarks against Jia Lan, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
And now, for the eldest brother, his answer is "you are different from her"!
Huo Tianheng also noticed the changes in the complexions of the people around him, especially his wife and daughter Jialan.
After Huo Jialan's death, her husband Zhu Xuhang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Huo Jialan. She shook her head at her husband.
Huo Tianheng also knew that what he just said was inappropriate, he sighed, and said: "It's late today, everyone needs to rest. Let's talk about this matter tomorrow. Anyway, I have already stated my position, and I hope that other people in this family will can agree with my thinking.”
He said these words firmly and without doubt. Then, without waiting for anyone else to reply, he went back to the room directly.
In the huge living room, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"Brother, I hope you..." At this moment, Zhu Xuhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What are you planning?"
Huo Jialin glanced at his brother-in-law Zhu Xuhang, and then said: "I don't think the word calculation is suitable for me. After we get married, we will live in GX, and we won't be an eyesore here. As I said, I'm here... just to come notice, not to ask for permission."
"Zhang Rong is back?" Huo Jialan raised her head at this moment, speaking for the first time: "Come back from GX with you?"
Huo Jialin stared at Huo Jialan, the eyes of the brother and sister met each other, Huo Jianan was caught in the middle, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Right now, he felt that no matter what he said, it was inappropriate.
Compared to the current Huo Jialin, the one who was more restless was Huo Jianan and Huo Jialin's mother, Lan Caiyu. As a stepmother, it was inappropriate for her to say anything to Huo Jialin as her stepson.
Back then, her son-in-law Zhu Xuhang was Zhang Rong's boyfriend, but Huo Jialan, who was Zhang Rong's best friend, married him quickly after graduating from high school. Afterwards, Zhang Rong was admitted to GX's university and left. But she never thought that she would develop to this stage in GX and Jialin. No matter how you look at it, I feel that Zhang Rong did this on purpose for revenge. However, she was completely out of position to say those words. What's more, she also knew that the relationship between her stepson and her two biological brothers and sisters had always been delicate. What should she say now
"She's back. If you don't want to see her, you don't have to be here tomorrow. In this way, you can save a lot of embarrassment."
Huo Jialin's answer did not hesitate at all, obviously he had already considered that his sister would ask this question in advance.
"Do you think she married you because of love? Brother?" Huo Jialan shook her head and said, "She has no good intentions at all. The only reason she wants to marry you is to hate me!"
"I have considered this possibility."
"Brother, you..."
"But I don't mind."
Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Xuhang who was beside Huo Jialan: "I have never recognized you as my family, 'brother-in-law'!"
"enough!"
Huo Jianan noticed the tears flickering in his mother's eyes, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled.
For him... the most unbearable thing was his mother's compulsion to look at her face. In the final analysis, although the mother is the continuation, she is also the wife of the wife who is married in a dignified way. Why can't she hold her head up in front of the eldest brother!
Even if the third sister Jialan did something wrong, the mother was not wrong!
Brother has no reason to let mother suffer such shame!
He walked up to the eldest brother and said, "Brother... brother! You should consider your mother's feelings anyway? It's late enough today, let mother go to rest first. We'll talk about the specifics tomorrow!"
Then, Huo Jianan came to his mother and said, "Mom... let's go."
He hated his eldest brother who treated his mother so coldly. No matter what, to him, his mother always came first.
In any case, the dispute finally subsided. Everyone went back to rest temporarily.
In the living room, the lights went out.
Gao Ying hid the mobile phone under the sofa, lying quietly at this moment.
Zhu Sunling also listened to everything just now. She has a thorough understanding of all the current disputes of the Huo family, but it seems that there is no supernatural color in this dispute for the time being.
It seems... there is nothing new to hear for the time being.
"Are you... still... listening to...?"
Suddenly, on the other end of the phone, an eerie, completely unhuman voice rang out!
