Chapter 177: Big Brother’s Reverse a.s.sist


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


[What are you doing?] Murong Qiao sent him a message.


The people in the auditorium gradually dispersed, but Murong Qiao sat there and waited for Huo Yichen’s reply.


She remembered that Huo Yichen had no cla.s.ses in the afternoon.


Murong Qiao sat there and waited for a long time. She couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to Huo Yichen that he couldn’t reply to her message.


As time pa.s.sed, Murong Qiao became more worried. The phone screen was still empty, making her worried.


She fell into a daze as she thought about it. Then, she felt her cell phone vibrate.


Was it Huo Yichen?


Murong Qiao immediately picked up her phone in a hurry and swiped away the screen saver.


[Qiaoqiao, I’m at the hotel outside Hui University.] It was a message from Big Brother Murong Chen.


When Murong Qiao realized that it wasn’t Huo Yichen, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. However, she then realized that her Big Brother, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, was outside the school now. She felt like she had taken a roller coaster and was in high spirits.


She and Big Brother had not seen each other for a long time!


[I’m on my way!] Murong Qiao quickly replied.


Murong Chen sent her an address. It was the name of the hotel he was staying in and the specific room number.


After knowing the address, Murong Qiao informed her roommates and ran out of University Hui. She went to the address Murong Chen had sent as quickly as possible.


The hotel was luxurious and beautiful. She took the elevator all the way to the presidential suite.


“589…” Murong Qiao confirmed that the room number was correct and knocked on the door.


The door was opened almost the next second by the person inside. Murong Qiao’s surprised gaze met Murong Chen’s.


Murong Chen looked at his sister, whom he had not seen for a long time. He opened his arms to catch Murong Qiao, who was pouncing on him. At the same time, he glanced at his Little Sister.


Seeing that there were no traces that should not exist, Murong Chen felt relieved.


“Big Brother, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were here?” Murong Qiao pouted and asked him.


If she had known that her Big Brother would come, she would have picked a gift and brought it over.


Murong Chen sat on the sofa with her. “It was a last-minute decision.”


He wasn’t lying. It was indeed a last-minute decision.


Murong Chen’s schedule was full at first, but after seeing the photo Murong Chuan sent, he asked his a.s.sistant to postpone everything that had happened in the past two days. He bought the nearest plane ticket and flew over to see Murong Qiao.


“How do you feel after going to university? Do you have someone you like?” Murong Chen asked with concern. In fact, his mind was filled with thoughts of how far his Little Sister and Huo Yichen had progressed.


“The teachers and cla.s.smates are all very good. I don’t want to date for the time being.” Murong Qiao shook her head and answered his question truthfully.


At the mention of dating, she instinctively thought of Huo Yichen. She wondered if he had seen her message.


Murong Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that his Little Sister was not in love yet.


It was better not to be in a relationship. Murong Chen didn’t want Murong Qiao to get involved in the Huo family’s mess either.


“I remember that you know Huo Yichen.” Murong Chen got to the main point. His expression was serious. “He’s the heir that the Huo Family recently found. The Huo Family is quite chaotic recently.”


“The Huo family has many relatives. Huo Yichen only returned after the accidental death of the last heir. He will undoubtedly become the focus of attention or become a sacrifice for the division of the family a.s.sets.” Murong Chen explained the situation. Just a few sentences were enough to make Murong Qiao imagine the abyss of suffering.


“Huo Yichen is a dangerous person.” Flis tone was heavy, and he was also worried about Murong Qiao’s safety.


Murong Chen was telling the truth. It was also a warning to his Little Sister. He didn’t want Qiaoqiao to be involved in the Huo family’s internal strife and be hurt again.


Moreover, with the Huo family’s current situation, Huo Yichen couldn’t even protect himself. Murong Chen was unwilling to hand Qiaoqiao over to the other party.


The Nan family’s matter had already wounded Murong Chen’s heart. He didn’t want Qiaoqiao to be hurt again.


“The Huo family?” Murong Qiao thought of something else.


Was it because of the Huo family that Huo Yichen didn’t reply to her message today or even appear in front of her?


The internal strife in the family had always been a sensitive topic, and the bloodbath inside was more serious than she imagined. Especially after hearing her Big Brother’s words, Murong Qiao began to worry about Huo Yichen’s safety.


She suddenly felt sorry for Huo Yichen. In her memory, he always stayed by her side with a smile and almost never mentioned the Huo family’s struggle.


But this didn’t mean that Huo Yichen was really carefree. Murong Qiao pursed her lips and subconsciously thought of him.


Could it be that Huo Yichen was being bullied by his difficult relatives in a place that she couldn’t see?


“In short, Huo Yichen is a man with a lot of troubles…” Murong Chen looked at his Little Sister, who was staring at him without moving, and thought that she had heard what he said.


He took the opportunity to quickly add a few more words. Little did he know that while Murong Qiao was staring at his face in a daze, she was in fact still thinking about Huo Yichen, that brat.


If Murong Chen found out that his words had the opposite effect and made his Little Sister worry about Huo Yichen instead of staying away from him, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.


Murong Qiao couldn’t remember what her Big Brother said after that. She was only worried about Huo Yichen.


In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, the happiest time for university students.


There were no annoying cla.s.ses or lecturers, nor endless homework.


Murong Qiao was about to go shopping and asked An Nuo out. After Yang Xin and Leng Yan heard this, they also clamored to go. In the end, they formed a common opinion.


Four young and beautiful girls walked on the street. They were a scenery that made pa.s.sers-by stop in their tracks. The entire street seemed to have become their exclusive runway, making the eyes of the world stop for them.


“Have you thought of what to buy?” An Nuo held Murong Qiao’s arm and glanced at the goods in the window.


Murong Qiao couldn’t make up her mind. She shook her head. “I’m not sure yet.”


Her Big Brothers had all given her gifts. Murong Qiao also wanted to give them something as a gift.


“You are more refined than I thought, and you’re so good-looking!” Yang Xin looked at An Nuo with sparkling eyes and spoke boldly and directly.


An Nuo blushed and quickly waved her hand to deny it. “No…”


Yang Xin’s straightforwardness made her a little helpless. An Nuo rarely came into contact with people who could play straight ball, but she could see that Yang Xin spoke from the bottom of her heart, making An Nuo even more embarra.s.sed.


Leng Yan nodded and shook An Nuo’s hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Leng Yan.”


Leng Yan was the complete opposite of Yang Xin, but she also liked An Nuo very much. She made her feel very comfortable.


The meeting between An Nuo and her two roommates was unexpectedly friendly.


The few of them chatted as they entered the mall. After understanding Murong Qiao’s request, the staff at the counter also gave his suggestion.


“If it’s for your elder brothers, cufflinks and tie clips are good choices, or we can start with hobbies…” The commissioner recommended a few gifts.


Murong Qiao immediately took a fancy to the pair of sapphire cufflinks. They were low-key and not too luxurious. If they were paired with her Big Brother’s suit, he would definitely look very good.


“I’ll take this.” She pointed at the pair of cufflinks and asked someone to pack it up.


The staff took Murong Qiao to pay the bill, but on the way, he was blocked by a tall man.


“Sir—” The staff looked at the man in front of him awkwardly.


Nan Xuan found out that Murong Qiao had come out today, so he followed her to the mall. He remembered the mission his father had given him.


His gaze landed on Murong Qiao. “Let’s talk.”


The familiar voice made Murong Qiao look up and see the person she didn’t want to see appear in front of her.


“What are you doing here?”
