Chapter 4: Paper Tiger

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tang Qin was the big brother she met in the countryside and he was three years older than her.

He was from the city, so when Huo Man first saw him, she felt that he was different.

Although Tang Qin was good at computers and could be considered to be in the top five in the world’s hacker rankings, he had always been a bit silly.

For example, one time when he was playing by the river, he slipped and fell into the water.

And if it hadn’t been for Huo Man, he might have lost his life.

After that, Tang Qin and Huo Man became “friends through adversity”

With Tang Qin around, many things became much easier for Huo Man.

Having just returned from the countryside to attend the funeral and having seen so many “surprises”, Huo Man felt a little tired.

She put down her phone and picked up a photo of Old Master Huo. She laid there on her bed thinking about his smiling face.

This grandfather of hers was really ruthless. Though he allowed her to inherit the family fortune, he didn’t even let her see him one last time.

Since the burden had already fallen on her shoulders, she could only bear with it for now.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps just outside her door, so she quickly hid the photo and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, before putting on an indifferent look as she waited for the door to open.

Huo Yi had brought his men to kick the door open.

“Heh! This place is indeed the most suitable for you. It’s so dirty and stinky!” Huo Yi didn’t forget to insult her while he looked around.

Huo Man sat up and looked at him with her eyebrows raised, “You’ve become dirty and stinky yourself by being here. Just how much do you love me?”

“Who would ever love a country bumpkin like you?! I don’t know what kind of drug you gave Grandpa and Shen Bei, but heed my words, country bumpkin, and turn over the inheritance to us and leave Shen Bei to Huo Yan!”

She could never have guessed that Huo Yi was still so protective of Huo Yan.

“Huo Yi, the inheritance was mine to begin with, including this entire villa.” Huo Man looked at Huo Yi’s slightly young face and chuckled. “I can kick you out at any time, or I can allow you to live in this dirty and stinky hovel.”

“And as for Shen Bei, you can go find him yourself and see if he’ll agree to your demands.”

Huo Yi’s expression grew strange. ‘Why was she asking me to stay in this hovel? And look for Shen Bei myself? I’m not willing!’

“Huo Man! Don’t be an ingrate!” Huo Yi rushed forward to grab Huo Man’s collar.

Huo Man’s face turned cold before she then grabbed Huo Yi’s wrist. After a series of lightning quick actions, Huo Yi was thrown to the ground by Huo Man, writhing in pain.

“Young Master!” The servant who accompanied Huo Yi inside, Mother Meng, was originally watching this show quietly. She didn’t expect that Huo Man would retaliate against Huo Yi. She got so frightened that she quickly came forward to help Huo Yi up.

“Miss Huo Man, no matter what, Huo Yi is still your younger brother. How could you do this to him? What if you injured him?” Mother Meng looked at Huo Man a little reproachfully.

Huo Man only casually retorted, “He made the first move.”

Mother Meng had been present from the very beginning and was able to see everything clearly. She didn’t know how to refute her.

Although she shared the same disdain for Huo Man like the rest of the Huo Family, she didn’t dare butt into this family dispute.

“Why aren’t you getting lost? Don’t tell me you still want to get beaten up more?” Huo Man glared at Huo Yi as she rebuked him.

Huo Yi gritted his teeth as he glared back at Huo Man before turning around to leave.

Huo Man looked at Huo Yi’s retreating back in disdain. She originally thought that Huo Yi was a capable member of the family that could make a name for himself by himself, but now it seems he was just a paper tiger all along.

It seems the Huo Family’s pampering of their youngest son was at fault in raising him into a pile of trash.

In the Shen Family.

“Shen Bei, what were you thinking?! Why have you agreed to marry that country bumpkin?!”

The one who was speaking was Shen Bei’s good friend, Cao Chen.

Ever since Cao Chen found out that Shen Bei and Huo Man, the so-called jinx of the Huo Family who was exiled to the countryside, were going to get married, he rushed to his friend’s side to get a firsthand account of this news.

At his queries, Shen Bei simply continued to peruse company documents and didn’t even bother to look up.

“Please, Young Master Shen. Please satisfy this poor friend’s curiosity.” Cao Chen didn’t give up though and continued to beg him for the truth. He was like a dog wagging its tail at food, trying to be extremely humble.

Perhaps he was finally annoyed enough by Cao Chen’s incessant mumbling, Shen Bei put the documents he was looking at and glanced at Cao Chen coldly.

Cold sweat broke out of Cao Chen’s back. He seemed to have greatly displeased this Young Master Shen.
