Chapter 57: Thank You for Giving Me Life
Xing Jiuan did not answer.
The night breeze was a little strong. There were clearly many people around, but it was surprisingly quiet.
“Go back and have a good rest. We’ll meet if there’s a chance,” Xing Jiuan replied.
The young lady was clearly disappointed, but she nodded politely in response.
“Jiuan…” Madam Huo’s voice was soft and seemed to be laced with a hint of pleading.
Xing Jiuan was very rational. She looked over and said with a calm gaze, “Thank you for going out of your way to come over. In the future, there’s no need to do so.”
Mu Qing stood beside her and looked at Xing Jiuan with a complex gaze.
Xing Jiuan suddenly tugged at Mu Qing’s clothes and said to her family members, “I have a family.”
Huo Jun’s hands trembled slightly. “Can’t you accept us?”
“Thank you for giving me life.” Xing Jiuan bowed and left without turning back.
Mu Qing and Su Yize followed suit.
Su Yize opened the car door and let Xing Jiuan in first. He turned around and saw that the rest of the people were looking at them.
He looked at Xing Jiuan again. Xing Jiuan was leaning back against the seat, seemingly in a daze.
Mu Qing drove off.
Lu Zhichen was placing the chocolates in his pocket when he heard Huo Jinyuan speak.
“President Lu, do you know Jiuan?”
Lu Zhichen was also a little shocked by what had just happened. He didn’t know that Xing Jiuan was a child of the Huo family.
When he heard what Huo Jinyuan said, he only answered, “It was a long time ago. She doesn’t seem to remember me now.”
With that, Lu Zhichen greeted Huo Jinyuan’s parents and turned to leave.
“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Jinyuan, that Miss Jiuan earlier…” At this moment, Huo Xiaoxiao’s father went forward to ask about the matter. Looking at their upset expressions, he seemed to have figured out something.
“She’s Yanyan,” Madam Huo said in a hoarse voice.
“Is that Little Aunt?” Huo Xiaoxiao asked.
Looking at the child, Madam Huo pursed her lips. “It’s Little Aunt.”
“How did you guys meet Jiuan? Was it here?” Huo Jun asked, looking a little aged and tired.
“Xiaoxiao was being kidnapped by human traffickers. It was Jiu… Yanyan who bumped into her and saved her.”
“Little Aunt is so cool. She defeated three bad guys by herself,” Huo Xiaoxiao said excitedly, as if she regarded Xing Jiuan as her idol.
“That’s… good.” Madam Huo thought to herself that Xing Jiuan was so powerful, she’d probably never been bullied.
However, she couldn’t help but feel sad. Xing Jiuan must have suffered a lot to have become so powerful.
It was already very late when they reached home.
When the Huo parents returned to their bedroom, neither of them could fall asleep.
Huo Chulan had waited for them for a long time at home. When they returned, she washed some fruits and brought them over. She knocked on their door.
Madam Huo walked over to open the door. “Chulan, what’s the matter?”
“Dad, Mom, you came back so late. I washed some fruits…”
“Sorry to have troubled you.” Madam Huo took them from her. “It’s late, you should go to bed early.”
Of course, Huo Chulan knew what this meant. “Okay, Dad, Mom. Please sleep early too.”
“Okay,” Madam Huo responded indifferently.
Just as Huo Chulan was about to turn around and leave, Huo Jun walked over and stopped her.
“If you have the time, stay with your parents more often.”
Huo Chulan looked back at him. Even though he was only wearing simple casual wear, Huo Jun stilled looked solemn, which made her nervous.
“Okay,” she heard herself reply.
When Huo Chulan returned to her room, she recalled her conversation with her parents. She clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes became filled with viciousness.
