The smile on Huo Donghai's face froze as soon as he saw me.

"Fox spirit! What are you doing here? You've bullied Zhixia, and now you want to seduce my older brother?"

Huo Donglin put his chopsticks down heavily. "Xiao Hai, shut up!"

"Brother! She's a fox spirit!" Huo Donghai pointed at me and shouted, "Get out! You're not welcome here!"

Huo Donglin stood up with a grim face and slapped Huo Donghai hard.

Huo Donghai, who finally shut up, covered his face in disbelief and blinked his eyes blankly.

"Brother, are you crazy? You actually... hit me for this shameless woman?"

Huo Donglin grabbed his younger brother's collar mercilessly, his voice chilling.

"She is your biological sister."

These few words shook Huo Donghai's pupils. He raised his hand, trembling, and pointed at me.

"She... is my biological sister? My long-lost second sister? This... how is that possible?"

Five minutes later, Huo Donghai finally accepted the reality as he looked at the test report presented by Huo Donglin.

Under the oppressive gaze of his older brother, he had a dejected expression and obediently came to me to apologize.

"I'm sorry... Second Sister."

I ignored him and continued eating without even lifting my head.

During the five years I spent with Qi Yu, this young master played an indispensable role when I was humiliated by Shen Zhixia.

Seeing my lack of response, Huo Donghai scratched his head anxiously.

"Second Sister, please don't be angry, okay?"

I looked up at him with a calm gaze.

"If I weren't your biological sister, you would never apologize for what you did to me in the past, right?"

Huo Donghai immediately choked, his handsome face turning red with embarrassment.

Only then did Huo Donglin realize something was wrong. He looked at his younger brother with a dark expression.

"What exactly happened? Did you bully Xiang Xiang before?"

Trembling with fear, Huo Donghai hesitated for a long time before confessing everything, just like pouring out a bag of beans, including the things between me and Qi Yu.

After hearing everything, Huo Donglin's brows furrowed tightly.

He looked at me and a calm-faced Zhou Zhi as if he understood something.

Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Let's eat first. We'll talk about these matters later."

After finishing the meal, Huo Donglin found me alone and asked with concern, tentatively, "Xiang Xiang, the child in your belly, is it...?"

"Qi Yu's," I said.

There was no need for me to hide it from him. I figured he had already guessed something.

"Brother, it's all in the past. Qi Yu and I have already broken up," I said.

Huo Donglin sighed, "Then how did you and Zhou Zhi get married so quickly?"

I smiled and lowered my head to touch my belly.

"To give this child a reliable father, isn't that a good thing? Zhou Zhi treats me well. If it weren't for him and your help, I might have drowned in the spit of Shen Zhixia's fans by now."

Huo Donglin fell silent for a while and let out a heavy sigh.

He instructed Huo Donghai carefully not to tell Qi Yu about my situation to prevent him from harassing me again.

Huo Donghai immediately nodded and even suggested, like a bootlicker, to send me and Zhou Zhi home.

Despite my refusal, Huo Donghai didn't give up. The next day, he bought a lot of baby supplies and came to visit.

At first, I didn't open the door for him, and he sat outside all day.

After waiting for more than ten days, I finally softened.

The day I allowed Huo Donghai to enter, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, showing me various gifts.

Along with these things, he also gave me several sets of properties and two-thirds ownership of a high-end club, including Ming ShuiHotel.

Looking at these valuable gifts, I couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get all this money?"

Huo Donghai smirked and said, "I borrowed it from Brother. Consider it as compensation for what I did before."

I was speechless.

Huo Donglin had always been a capable person, and it seemed that he had made a lot of money over the years.

But I couldn't just accept these gifts without doing anything.

"Huo Donghai, take back these things. I don't need them," I said firmly.

Huo Donghai was stunned and looked at me in disbelief.

"Second Sister, these are all for you. Brother asked me to give them to you."

I shook my head and explained, "I can't accept them. I don't want to rely on someone else's money. I want to stand on my own feet."

Huo Donghai was dumbfounded and couldn't understand my thoughts.

I smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry about me. I have Zhou Zhi by my side, and I will take care of myself and our child. Focus on your own life and be happy."

Huo Donghai looked at me for a long time, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Second Sister, you've really changed. Take care of yourself, and if you need anything, just let me know."

I nodded gratefully and watched as Huo Donghai left with the gifts.

From that day on, I knew that I had truly gained a family.

Although the road ahead might be difficult, I was determined to face it with my head held high.
