Chapter 6

Huo Yuan frowned and asked, "A'Wu, why do you suddenly want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Huo Wu was seventeen years old this year and was currently in her junior year of high school. Her grades were neither good nor bad, but Huo Yuan wasn't too concerned about Huo Wu's grades. His daughter deserved to be doted on and pampered. Even if she was ignorant and incompetent, he and his eldest son had the ability to make sure she lived the rest of her life comfortably and worry-free. 

Huo Wu tilted her head and blinked her big innocent eyes. 

"Dad, I will make sure my grades won't slip. I will still finish high school and attend college after that. However, I really like acting, so I want to enter the entertainment industry."

"The entertainment industry isn't as bright and beautiful as you may think. I don't think it's the correct path for you," Huo Yusen said faintly.

His tone was very tranquil, showing neither approval nor disapproval. It seemed like it was just expressing his opinion.

Huo Wu knew that in Huo Yuan and Huo Yusen's opinion, they thought of her as someone who was arrogant but simple-minded and naive. She wasn't suitable for the brilliant and complex entertainment circle.

But in Huo Wu's own opinion, she had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry. 

The entertainment industry will guarantee a comfortable future for herself and her biological family.

Even if the female lead returned, she would still have the ability to live independently. 

Huo Wu put down the soup spoon in her hand. She used both her hands to hold her chin and looked at Huo Yusen with a bright smile on her face, "I know that, but my older brother will protect me, right?"

Huo Yusen narrowed his eyes, and a flash of surprise quickly flashed through his eyes.

When did his sister become so lovable and sticky? When did she learn how to please other people?

Huo Yuan laughed at her comment before he asked her again, "A'Wu, have you seriously thought it through?"

Huo Wu nodded her head seriously and said, "Yes. I've thought it through already."

Huo Yuan was very straightforward, "Okay then, you can do what you want to do. Your brother and I will be your strong backing. You can leave the entertainment circle at any time if you don't want to continue acting anymore."

Huo Yuan sounded very confident as they said those words.

Huo Wu looked down at the table. Huo Yuan was a very doting and loving father.

It was such a pity that she was not his real daughter.

She suppressed the frustration and loss welling up inside her heart. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, dad." 

After that, she turned to Huo Yusen again. The smile on her face was sweeter and more brilliant than before, "Thank you, brother. I will depend on you to take care of me in the future."

Huo Yusen raised his eyebrows slightly and hummed very softly in response.

After breakfast, Huo Yuan went back to work. His schedule was always full. If it weren't for his eldest son's return, he probably wouldn't have found the time to return home.

Huo Yusen went to his grandfather's company. He had already begun familiarizing himself with the business and was just waiting for a month to pass so he could formally take over the company from his grandfather.

Shortly after they left, Huo Wu was left alone in the villa. But she didn't stay home, instead, she took her wallet and went out.

Before she went to bed last night, she had already planned to meet the original host's biological parents today.

There were many cars parked in the Huo Family's garage. There were a number of Volkswagen cars that cost around hundreds of thousands of dollars. There were even luxury cars parked in the garage that cost tens of millions of dollars.

Huo Wu wanted to keep a low profile to avoid attention, so she chose a big red Audi to drive in.

It wasn't difficult for her to find her biological parents. She knew they were in charge of sweeping Fuxin Road. Generally, there were only two people sweeping each road. So as soon as she reached Fuxin Road, she would be able to see them.

After Huo Wu saw her biological parents, she found a nearby cafe and went in. She ordered a cup of coffee and supported her chin with her hand. She planned to comfortably spend the rest of the day like this.

The gentle and calming music filled the coffee shop.

However, Huo Wu could not calm down her pounding heart.

Huo Yuqing was indeed an outstanding person, but she had an extremely cold personality.

What was wrong with Father and Mother Jiang? They even raised her for eighteen years. They gave the best of everything they had to her.

Why would she regard them as a stain in her life? How could she heartlessly cut off her relationship with the "parents" that raised her?

Mother and Father Jiang's tragic ending can be said to be caused by Huo Yuqing. They just needed a small sum of money to save Father Jiang's leg. It was a simple and easy matter for Huo Yuqing to help with. However, she was not even willing to help her parents of eighteen years with such a small favor.

Huo Wu aimlessly pondered over the matter as she slowly finished drinking her coffee in the coffee shop.

The coffee tasted bitter, but it helped revive her spirit again.

Huo Wu estimated that she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight because of the coffee.

After she finished her coffee, an hour had already passed.

Father and Mother Jiang had already finished their work and left.

Huo Wu took the car key from her bag and left the cafe. She got in the car and was ready to drive home.

After she left the cafe and got in the car, Huo Yusen turned around and said to the driver lightly, "Drive me to the company."

The driver couldn't fathom what his boss was thinking. His boss was only 25 years old this year, but it was impossible for someone to read his mind.

They had been sitting stationary in the car for over an hour, yet his boss didn't even greet his sister.

He just watched her in the back seat of the car with a thoughtful expression on his face.

However, it was not his job to speculate what his boss was thinking. He only needed to fulfill his duty as a driver.

The driver started the car, and the Rolls Royce Phantom car's engine came to life. The car accelerated and smoothly merged into the rolling traffic.

There was silence in the car. Huo Yusen was looking sideways at the receding scenery outside the window. Suddenly, Huo Yusen asked the driver, "Xiao Wang, I remember you have a sister. Am I correct?"

Xiao Wang was a little flattered that his boss remembered that he had a sister.

He replied quickly, "That is correct, Eldest Young Master."

Specks of golden light flicked in Huo Yusen's dark pupil. He pondered over something and asked a question, "Was there a big difference between your sister's personality as a child and after she grew up?"

His memory of Huo Wu was blurry. He never paid much attention to his only biological sister when he was younger. But ever since he returned home, he could clearly feel that his sister was different from how she was before.

He couldn't exactly pinpoint what was different about Huo Wu.

After all, he knew too little about her.

Xiao Wang didn't understand why his boss asked this question. But since his boss had asked him a question, he naturally needed to answer it well.

He thought about it carefully and recalled his memory of his own sister. Then, he answered cautiously and carefully, "It's natural that a girl changes between the time as a child and when she is an adolescent. As the proverb says, a young woman is very different from the little girl she once was. However, this change is not only reflected in their appearance, but also in their personality."

Huo Yusen replied with a simple, "Oh."

Xiao Wang thought about how Huo Yusen had not returned to the states for over four years. As a result, he had a weak relationship with his sister. He couldn't help but give his boss some advice, "Eldest Young Master, young lady is not yet an adult. So, her personality isn't completely set in stone yet. If she has any bad qualities in her personality, it will become much better if someone gives her some guidance."

A person's personality cannot change suddenly. It must be the environment they're in that subtly changed their personality bit by bit. For the Eldest Young Master to ask this question, he probably thought that his sister's personality had drastically changed.

In fact, it was mainly because the Eldest Young Master spent too little time with his younger sister. As a result, he felt that his younger sister had changed a lot from before.

Had he paid more attention to his sister, then there wouldn't be such a problem.

In short, Xiao Wang was telling Huo Yusen to pay more attention and take care of Huo Wu.

Huo Yusen naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Wang's words.

Was he not caring enough about her?

Huo Yusen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

It didn't take Huo Wu long to get home. Her head started to feel a little dizzy. Perhaps it was because of the sudden drop in temperature when she left the warm coffee shop and went driving in the cold wind.

She ignored her dizziness and walked upstairs. Since she drank coffee, it wouldn't be easy for her to fall asleep. But now because she was dizzy and uncomfortable, she went to be early. She didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day anyway.

After she laid on the bed, Huo Wu fell asleep quickly. However, she didn't sleep too well.

She felt extremely hot and cold at the same time.

For one moment, she felt like she was buried under the icy ground and the next moment, she felt like she was burning inside a hot furnace. 

The constant hot and cold temperature made her very uncomfortable.

Huo Wu's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She was currently trapped in a nightmare. Huo Wu was unable to break free from it, so she couldn't wake up from her dream.

In her dream, she had no choice but to experience the original Huo Wu's life from the novel.

She was living in Huo Wu's shoes, from birth to adolescence.

She lived like a carefree little princess for eighteen years. Although her father and older brother were negligent and failed to teach her properly because of their own careers, she still lived a comfortable and easy life. After all, she was the Huo Family's only daughter. No matter what she wants, she will always get it. 

Huo Wu grew up to be arrogant and willful because of her father and older brother.

She lived happily for eighteen years.

However, everything ended abruptly when she turned eighteen years old. 

She got into a car accident that changed her life dramatically.

She was no longer the arrogant little princess from the Huo Family. In fact, she was not even Father Huo's biological daughter! It turned out that she was just the daughter of an elderly couple who worked as sweepers!

She returned to her real home and the daughter of the Huo Family became Huo Yuqing.

She took the position that originally belonged to Huo Yuqing. As a result, Huo Yuqing regarded her as a nail in her eye and a thorn in her flesh. Huo Yuqing hated that she couldn't remove Huo Wu from the world soon enough.

When she was nineteen years old, she fell into a trap set up by a human trafficker. After she went through several people, she was finally trafficked to a remote mountainous area.

The mountain area was backward in technology, impoverished, and it was hard for people to leave or enter the village.

The status of women in the village was extremely low. It can even be said that women had no status in the village. 

The people in the mountain village were savage and vulgar.

She was forced to marry the foolish son of the people who bought her…

She can't continue dreaming!

No more!

Wake up! Wake up quickly!

Huo Wu knew that this was just a dream. It was a very realistic dream, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake herself up from the dream.

She was anxious and desperate.

After all, the dream reached the night of Huo Wu's marriage to the foolish man. 

It was originally supposed to be the most beautiful night for a woman, but she was currently tied up in a chair and couldn't break free

She screamed and shouted. She struggled against the ropes desperately.

She knew that this was the most painful memory for Huo Wu in the book.

She also didn't want to experience this…

Just as Huo Wu was about to give up all her hope, a pair of cool hands touched her forehead gently.

"It should just be a fever. Auntie Zhang, can you bring me the medicine for colds at home?"

The sound of his cold but extremely clear voice flowed into Huo Wu's ears. It snapped her awake and she finally woke up from her dream.

"I'll bring the medicine right away, Eldest Young Master."

The voice belonged to the housekeeper in charge of cooking at the villa.

From their conversation, Huo Wu deduced that she currently had a fever.

Although she was awake, she still felt dizzy and slightly confused. Due to her dream, her heart was still pounding rapidly against her chest right now.

It was thanks to Huo Yusen's cool and refreshing voice that allowed her to wake up on time.

His cool hands that were placed gently on her forehead also helped clear her mind a little, but it didn't take long for Huo Yusen to withdraw his hands from her forehead.

Because of the high fever, Huo Wu was very weak and had no strength. So, it was unknown where she got the strength from because she quickly reached out her hand and grabbed Huo Yusen's hand firmly before he could completely withdraw his hand.

Huo Yusen was slightly taken aback by Huo Wu's sudden movement. He looked at his left hand that was being tightly held onto by Huo Wu's hand.

Huo Wu's hand was very warm.

Huo Yusen's hands were slightly cool. So, he felt unaccustomed to her warm hands.

He was just about to pull his hands away from Huo Wu's hands when Huo Wu cracked open her eyes halfway.

Huo Wu looked at Huo Yusen. Huo Wu's eyes were slightly red because of the high fever. Huo Yusen looked at her and could tell that she was in a very weak and fragile state.

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was not unpleasant to the ears, 

"Brother, can you stay with me?"

The yearning and dependence behind her voice quickly tugged at his heartstrings.

Huo Yusen stopped trying to pull away from her and allowed her to hold his hand.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Wu in disbelief, "Do you know what you are saying?"

His younger sister wasn't supposed to act this way.

As the Huo Family's only daughter, she should be prideful and arrogant
