What Went Wrong

Huo Ji'an rushed over like a firecracker. Zhouzhou, seeing him, curved her eyebrows and exclaimed with delight, "Little Skinny Pole!"

Huo Ji'an, equally thrilled to see his friend, pulled out candy from his pocket and handed it to her, asking curiously, "Chubby Girl, what are you doing here?"

Zhouzhou, munching on the candy, one cheek puffed up, pointed to Wei Xuhong and said, "I came to my brother's house for a meal."

Brother? Huo Ji'an glanced at Wei Xuhong. He wasn't one of the Qin brothers, so where did this brother come from?

Zhouzhou then explained everything—fights, bad guys, and the money involved. Huo Ji'an, listening, felt dizzy, but understood this was no relative of hers, just someone she met along the way.

He felt relieved immediately. He had thought Chubby Girl had made a new friend.

He looked at Wei Xuhong and, seeing no competition, turned his attention back to Zhouzhou.

"Little Skinny Pole, what are you doing here?" Zhouzhou asked curiously.
