Shuxin frowned slightly. What kind of attitude was that?
Shuxin didn't knock on the door again. She twisted the handle of the door, but it wasn't locked. She pushed the door open and walked in.
Huo Jibai heard the sound and immediately sat up on the bed. He said angrily, "Who allowed you to …" Come in?
The last three words were stuck in his throat when he saw that it was Shuxin. He was stunned for two seconds before he frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Shuxin entered the room and put the tray in her hand on the table. "I'm here to bring you food."
"I'm not eating." Huo Jibai refused directly.
Shuxin recalled Huo Jibai's bad attitude towards Yao Huiqin and the begging look in Yao Huiqin's eyes when he asked her to bring food to Huo Jibai. Her heart was vaguely filled with anger, but she still said patiently, "Your grandmother will be worried if you don't eat. Come and eat something."
"I'm not eating."
"Why are you like this?"
"What am I doing?"
In order to make Cao Guifang like her, Shuxin was willing to be a naughty boy.
As for Huo Jibai, Yao Huiqin doted on him so much, but he didn't care at all. He even made Yao Huiqin angry at all. Now, he looked as if he didn't know what he did wrong.
Shuxin couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She spoke with emotion. "You have no respect for your elders. Your grandmother is your elder. Even if you don't make her happy, at least don't make her angry and worry."
"She's not my elder. She's my enemy."
This was the first time Shuxin heard someone treat a family member who cared about him as an enemy. She looked coldly at Huo Jibai. "You're hopeless!" Then she turned to leave.
Huo Jibai didn't know if it was her cold gaze or her harsh tone that made him uncomfortable. He got off the bed and caught up with Shuxin in a few steps. He grabbed her arm and turned her body around forcefully. "You don't know anything. What right do you have to criticize me like this?"
"I don't need to know. If a person doesn't even have the most basic filial piety and treats his closest family as an enemy, I think this person has already lost his humanity."
Huo Jibai suddenly tightened his grip on Shuxin's hand, and a terrifying coldness flashed in his eyes. "What if she killed my parents?"
Shuxin was shocked speechless by Huo Jibai's words.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you filled with righteous indignation just a moment ago? "Huo Jibai's long and narrow eyes were tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
Shuxin came back to her senses. The pain from her arm made her frown slightly. "You're hurting me."
Huo Jibai let go of her hand. He lowered his head and saw a deep red mark on Shuxin's slender and fair arm. A trace of guilt flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared quickly. He looked up, and his eyes were cold. "Get out."
Yao Huiqin saw Shuxin coming down with the untouched food. He sighed softly, and his eyes were filled with worry. However, he quickly put on a smile and comforted himself. "Don't eat, don't eat. It's okay for a young person to go hungry. Come, I'll take you to Little Five."
Shuxin looked at the kind-looking old man in front of her. She couldn't believe that he would kill Huo Jibai's parents. Moreover, wasn't Huo Jibai's father Yao Huiqin's son?
Shuxin remembered that Huo Yanqing said that his father, second brother, and fourth brother had all died in the accident. Huo Xiangwei was the third and was a daughter. Huo Yanqing was the youngest and was the fifth. Huo Jibai's father should be Yao Huiqin's eldest son.
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs.
