Looking at Song Huawu pitifully, Song Qingshu wanted to say something but hesitated. However, things had already come to this point, and it was clear that there was no room for redemption. He could only take a deep breath and said bitterly, "That year, Grandpa ordered your mother to be expelled from the Song family. Your mother … was as tenacious as you, so she did not plead with anyone. Without saying anything, she left with you, who was still a baby. Later …"
"What happened later?" Song Huawu's voice was a little hoarse. She had already vaguely guessed what happened later.
Song Qingshu shook his head helplessly and said, "When … when my father found her, she had already committed suicide … Only you, who was sleeping soundly, and a handwritten letter were left behind."
Although she was prepared in her heart, Song Huawu still felt like a bolt from the blue. Her body softened and she almost fell. Fortunately, Hong Zhu, who was standing not far from her, reached out and supported her. Only then did she manage to stand up.
Seeing this, Song Qingshu sighed. He carefully took out a yellowed envelope from his arms and handed it to Song Huawu. He said with a heavy expression, "After my father witnessed this scene, he was greatly stimulated. He was extremely depressed and drowned his sorrows in alcohol all day long. He never had the courage to open this letter."
Song Huawu stared at the envelope. For a moment, she did not dare to reach out to take it. She only felt that her mind was in chaos.
"Later, my father gave this letter to me and sent you to the secular world. He also repeatedly told me that I must send someone to take good care of you. If there is this opportunity in the future, I will take out the letter and give it to you." Song Qingshu told him everything that happened after that. Then, he fell silent and looked at Song Huawu quietly.
Song Huawu took the envelope with trembling hands. She felt that her hands were extremely heavy. She looked down at the envelope and saw the words "Meng Xiyao's Last Words" written in blood. Only then did she know that her biological mother's name was so beautiful.
The beautiful handwriting contrasted with the dark red blood, revealing a kind of sadness and despair. Song Huawu stared blankly at the envelope and did not move for a long time.
"Drip!"
When a crystal clear teardrop fell on the envelope, Song Huawu realized that her face was already covered in tears. At this moment, she finally understood that her mother's name was no longer important. She had long disappeared from this world, and she would never have the chance to see her again.
"Hua Wu, it's already happened. Don't be too sad … Since Song Qingshu is so sincere and wants to invite you back to the Song family, why don't you consider it?" Hong Zhu walked over, pulled the grief-stricken Song Huawu into his arms, and said in a low voice, "After all, he and his father haven't had a good time these past few years. Just take it as a chance to make it up to them."
"It's Sister Aohua Wu! Although the Song Family's Patriarch and that man are quite heartless, you are still related by blood. You are all a family! How about this? You can spend their money extravagantly after you get there. Consider it your revenge! "Jin Beibei thought for a moment and added," Besides, you still have my cousin-in-law! Even if you make the Song Family bankrupt, my cousin-in-law will support you for the rest of your life! "
"Sister Beibei, don't make a fuss. Don't you know where you are …" Xiao Xiao glanced at Jin Beibei. She wanted to comfort Song Huawu, but her eyes turned red the moment she opened her mouth.
It was because Xiao Xiao was the one who could sympathize with Song Huawu the most among all the people on the spot. She was an orphan herself. Had it not been for the Xiao family, her ending would probably have been even worse than Song Huawu's! Seeing that Song Huawu was crying so hard right now, she was touched, too, and could not say anything for a moment.
Song Huawu cried for a while longer and finally stopped crying. She wiped the tears on her face and suddenly said, "I will not go back to the Song family!"
"Huh?" Hong Zhu and Jin Beibei exclaimed at the same time, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, did not say anything but simply nodded.
Xiao Xiao could understand Song Huawu. If Xiao Xiao had been driven out by her family and suddenly said that she would accept her, she would not have been able to accept it, either. Besides, Song Huawu had been living alone for such a long time. She was even more reluctant to accept it emotionally.
"Huawu, you …" Song Qingshu opened his mouth hesitantly, but he did not know what to say.
Song Huawu had calmed down. She carefully put away the envelope and raised her head, saying coldly, "I don't care about the title of Miss Song, and I don't care how powerful the Song family is in the internal martial arts circle. Since my mother and I were driven out years ago, I have nothing to do with the Song family now! The purpose of my coming to the internal martial arts circle this time is to find Xiao Chen. I'm not interested in anything else! "
Looking at Song Huawu's cold expression, Song Qingshu said helplessly, "Huawu, I know you're upset. Although Grandpa made a wrong decision, the Song family is your final home. I also know that you may not be able to accept this fact now, but I still hope that you can consider my invitation carefully."
Song Qingshu knew that the Song family was in the wrong in this matter, and he also knew that Song Huawu would not go back with him obediently, so he did not force her.
Song Huawu shook her head and said lightly, "Young Master Song, I've made it very clear. Please go back!"
She had been an orphan since she was young and did not have much sense of belonging to her family. Since her mother was no longer in this world, she did not want to return to that inhumane family. Only by finding Xiao Chen and staying by his side would she be able to bring her a trace of comfort.
However, after ordering her guest to leave, Song Huawu remembered that she was in the Hong family. She put away her gloomy mood and forced an apologetic smile on her face. She turned to Hong Zhu and said, "Hong Zhu, can you arrange a room for us to stay in? I'm a little tired and would like to rest early. We still have to continue looking for Xiao Chen tomorrow! "
"Yes, no problem. Come with me!" Hong Zhu readily agreed and left the hall with Song Huawu and the other women. When they walked out of the room, she secretly turned around and gave Song Qingshu a look, indicating that he should go back first and leave the rest to her for the time being.
Song Qingshu nodded. He also felt that it was not suitable for him to stay in the Hong family any longer, lest he caused Song Huawu a second time. He could only leave the Hong family unhappily and return to the Song family to inform his father …
Hundreds of miles away from the Hong family, in the forest near the Open Heaven Gate, Xiao Chen was hiding behind a large tree with Xing lass, Tian Wangshou, and the other women.
