"Okay." Shuxin sat down again.
"Little Bai hasn't talked to me for five years. Because of this, Little Five punished him several times, but he would rather accept the punishment than talk to me. Once, Little Five was so angry that he punched him and made him lie in bed for a week. I was so scared that I forbade Little Five to meddle in the affairs between me and him." Yao Huiqin's face was full of sadness when he said this.
"I was prepared for him to ignore me for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect that he would talk to me today." Yao Huiqin held Shuxin's hand tightly. "Xin 'er, I think he only talked to me today because you were here."
Shuxin could guess why Huo Jibai would reply to Yao Huiqin. She forced Huo Jibai to call her Little Aunt, but they were about the same age and Huo Jibai was a man, so he was naturally unwilling to call her Little Aunt.
However, he didn't dare to disobey Huo Yanqing. When he was in a dilemma, Yao Huiqin's appearance could be said to be a great help to him. He expected that his reply would cause a strong reaction from Yao Huiqin, so she wouldn't pester him and force him to call her Little Aunt, so he could avoid a disaster.
To put it bluntly, Huo Jibai was using Yao Huiqin.
If Shuxin's guess was right, the relationship between Huo Jibai and Yao Huiqin would still be the same as it was in the past five years. It wouldn't change because of this compromise.
Shuxin didn't know what to say for a moment. If she said it too directly, Yao Huiqin would definitely be sad.
Yao Huiqin continued, "You're about the same age as Little White, so you two have a common language. Help me persuade him. I don't expect him to forgive me, but I hope that he can let go of the past and live a good life. He's now giving up on himself and not studying hard. If it weren't for Little Five, he would've fallen into depravity long ago. He wasn't like this before."
When Shu Xin heard this, she could not help but voice the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart. "Huo Jibai told me that he said you were the murderer of his parents. There must be a misunderstanding. I think that if you want him to let go of the knot in his heart and live a good life, you should first resolve the misunderstanding between the two of you."
Yao Huiqin's hand, which was holding onto Shuxin, trembled slightly. His eyes were filled with pain. "He said that I … killed his parents?"
Shuxin nodded. "One is your son, and the other is your daughter-in-law. I believe you wouldn't hurt them …"
"No, he's right." Yao Huiqin's weathered eyes were filled with tears. His face was pale, and his pale lips trembled weakly. "I … caused their deaths …"
Shuxin was slightly stunned. Even if Yao Huiqin said so, Shuxin knew Yao Huiqin very well. She didn't think that Yao Huiqin would do such a thing. There must be something else going on. She didn't say anything. She got up and pulled out a few pieces of tissue for Yao Huiqin to wipe his tears.
Shuxin had been in the Family Huo for a long time, but no one had ever mentioned Huo Jibai's parents to her. Sometimes, Shuxin wanted to ask Huo Yanqing about it, but she was afraid that talking about his deceased relatives would make him sad. Therefore, she buried her doubts in the bottom of her heart.
Yao Huiqin took the tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He raised his head and looked out of the window. His gaze was distant, and his face was filled with memories. She was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "Boss and Little Xi both passed away in a plane accident. They took that plane because … because I asked Little Xi to go overseas for a business deal. Boss was worried about her, so he went with her. I … caused the deaths of my son and daughter-in-law."
Shuxin comforted her gently. "Mom, you can't be blamed for this. No one expected the plane accident. It was just an accident."
