"This is The Fifth Lord's residence in the villa." Song Li stopped in his tracks and said to Shuxin somewhat embarrassedly, "The Fifth Lord didn't know that I called you, so The Fifth Lord doesn't know that you're here either. Please wait for a moment. I'll go inform the Fifth Lord."
"Okay."
Song Li entered the villa and came to the sofa. He bent down slightly and whispered to the man sitting on the sofa, "The Fifth Lord, Miss Shu is here."
"Hmm?" Huo Yanqing frowned slightly.
Song Li gulped. He was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He said truthfully, "I gave Miss Shu a call. I wanted to ask her about Young Master Xiao Bai's situation in school, but I didn't expect Miss Shu to directly say that she wanted to come over, so …"
Huo Yanqing was silent for two seconds. "… Let her in."
"Okay." Song Li's tense heartstrings instantly relaxed. He turned and left the villa.
Song Li led Shuxin into the villa as he said, "Miss Shu, please help me persuade The Fifth Lord after you go in. No matter what Young Master Xiao Bai did wrong, he still needs to treat his wounds first."
Shuxin didn't know how to explain at that moment. She could only nod and agree. "Okay."
Song Li brought Shuxin to the entrance of the villa and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Miss Shu." He then retreated out of the door.
Shuxin saw Huo Yanqing sitting on the sofa from afar. The luxurious chandelier lit up the entire living room as bright as day. The light poured down and covered him with a layer of golden light, dazzling and eye-catching.
Huo Jibai's back was facing the door. He was squatting at the foot of the wall with his left hand hanging by his side and his right hand in the air. This horse stance was awkward without a hand.
Shuxin walked into the hall and came to Huo Yanqing's side. She called out obediently, "Fifth Uncle."
Huo Jibai heard a familiar voice and turned around. He was surprised to see Shuxin. "Why are you here?"
"If you're not focused, add another hour."
Huo Yanqing's cold words made Huo Jibai hurriedly turn his head away. Even though he was full of questions, he didn't dare to turn his head back.
When Huo Jibai turned his head, Shuxin saw that his face was pale, and even his lips were pale. His basketball uniform was soaked in sweat and clung to his back. She guessed that the injury on his arm must be very painful.
Shuxin finally understood why Huo Jibai was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Huo Yanqing. He didn't bandage his broken arm and even punished him to do the horse stance. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a fierce uncle?
Shuxin glanced at Huo Yanqing, who had a calm expression on his face. She couldn't help but feel afraid. If he knew that his nephew didn't get into a fight but got injured because of her, she wondered if he would break both of her hands.
However, she couldn't stay out of it because of her.
Shuxin curled her fingers slightly. She braced herself and said softly, "Fifth Uncle, Huo Jibai didn't get injured because of a fight. He got injured because he was trying to save me."
Huo Yanqing frowned. "What happened?"
Shuxin gulped. She looked like she was going to risk everything. She said in one breath, "When I was cleaning the field, Huo Jibai hit my nose with a basketball. It started bleeding immediately. On the way to the infirmary, I was looking up and almost fell down the stairs. Huo Jibai pushed me back in time, but he rolled down the stairs himself."
