"But it had been a long time. Plus, he was the kind of person who wouldn't say a word even if you beat him to death. Since I couldn't get an answer, I went to ask Xiaxia."
Huo Tingrui's lips twitched. "Although she said she didn't know anything, from her frantic denial, I guessed that she had something to do with the kidnapping..."
Later on, he called his eldest uncle and asked him to investigate the whole story. Only then did he find out that Lu Xia was the first person that the villains kidnapped.
Huo Jinyao happened to bump into Huo Jinyao. Lu Xia ran away when Huo Jinyao tried to rescue her. After she ran away, she did not mention a word about Huo Jinyao being kidnapped.
Because of her silence, Huo Jinyao missed the best time to rescue Huo Jinyao. Although Huo Jinyao managed to save Huo Jinyao in the end, he was covered in injuries and was on his last breath.
After Huo Jinyao woke up, he suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and became mute. Because of his autism, no one in the family knew that the villains kidnapped Lu Xia first.
However, by the time Huo Jinyao found out the truth, it was already two years later. Huo Jinyao's autism had gradually improved, so Huo Jinyao went to ask him about it.
Huo Tingrui could still remember the bitterness on Huo Jinyao's face when he begged him not to reveal the truth to his family.
Perhaps it was because they were related by blood, but Huo Jinyao chose to bear the responsibility. It had been a long time since the incident. If Lu Xia had the heart, she would have come clean with everyone from the beginning.
But she didn't. That was why Huo Jinyao left the country in despair.
Huo Jinyao thought about it and decided that he couldn't keep Huo Jinyao a secret. So, he mentioned it to Huo Jinyao. However, he forgot that Huo Jinyao had always doted on Lu Xia since they were young.
So, when Huo Jinyao told him that Lu Xia ran away on purpose to hide the fact that Huo Jinyao had kidnapped Huo Jinyao, Huo Jinyao's first reaction was disbelief. He even blamed Huo Jinyao for thinking too much. He said that his little sister was so innocent and cute that she would never do something like that.
Huo Jinyao's reaction made Huo Jinyao think about how his parents trusted Lu Xia unconditionally. If he were to tell Huo Jinyao, he would probably be in disbelief too.
After that test, Huo Jinyao never mentioned Lu Xia again. But from then on, he did not treat Lu Xia as well as he used to.
Because looking at her reminded her of Third Brother's autistic look.
Although as he grew older, he could gradually understand some of the instinctive reactions of those people in order to survive.
However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. Even if she had told her family as soon as that happened, it wouldn't have been so serious that it almost cost Third Brother's life.
So, at times, his parents would ask him why he was not close to Xiaxia. All he could do was avoid the question, but he could not bring himself to tell the truth.
Sometimes, the truth didn't have to be told to be fair to everyone. The family might be shattered because of this so-called truth.
How could he break the harmony of this family?
Huo Tingrui raised his head and swallowed the lump in his throat. After a long time, he looked at Huo Yao again. He suddenly felt touched when he saw how concerned his little sister was.
People were really different from each other.
Biological and non-biological, blood-related and non-blood-related, the conscience in their bones were all different.
Huo Tingrui was glad that Lu Xia was not a child of the Huo family.
