Yao Huiqin clutched her shirt tightly. "I've blamed myself every single day for the past five years. If it weren't for the fact that Little Five is blind and I couldn't stop worrying about him, I would've left with Jianqing a long time ago."
"Mom, don't think that way." Shuxin was moved and her eyes reddened. "I'll try to talk some sense into Huo Jibai. After all, you're family. I believe that he'll let go of the past and forgive you one day."
Shuxin consoled Yao Huiqin for a while longer and only left when she saw that she had calmed down. When she went downstairs, she saw Huo Yanqing standing by the window and talking on the phone.
The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His back view made Shuxin feel at ease.
Shuxin walked over and reached into his trouser pocket to hold his hand.
He shook it gently and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "That's all for now. We'll talk at the company tomorrow." Then he hung up.
Huo Yanqing put the phone back in his pocket and tilted his head to ask her, "Do you want to go to the hospital to see Dad?"
Shuxin shook her head and held Huo Yanqing's hand as they walked to the door. "I called Dad this afternoon. His blood pressure has come down and he's been discharged. After you're done with your work for the next two days, we'll go home to see him."
"Okay." Huo Yanqing could tell that Shuxin's voice was nasal. It was obvious that she had been crying. He asked her, "What did Mom say to you?"
The two of them left the villa and walked towards Huo Yanqing's residence.
"Mom told me about Big Brother and Sister-in-law. She asked me to help talk to Huo Jibai."
Huo Yanqing fell silent for a moment. His handsome eyebrows were tinged with a touch of sadness. After a long time, he softly said, "Okay."
The two of them walked into the bamboo forest. Shuxin suddenly stopped and hugged Huo Yanqing's waist. She buried her head in Huo Yanqing's chest and listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat. She said softly, "I'm so sad."
Huo Yanqing gently stroked Shuxin's long, silky hair. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sad for my sister-in-law's past. I'm sad for Big Brother who insisted on being with the woman he loved but lost his life in the end. I'm sad for Huo Jibai who lost his parents. I'm sad for Mom's grief and self-blame. I'm also sad for you.
I can't tell who's right and who's wrong. It seems to be pardonable, but this tragedy really happened. For the past five years, Huo Jibai hasn't been happy, and Mom has been suffering. I want to help them, but I feel powerless. I don't know where to start. "
Huo Yanqing hugged Shuxin tightly. His girl was kind-hearted and sentimental. It was also because she treated his family as her own that she was so sad.
Yao Huiqin and Huo Jibai's relationship was so strained. He had tried to mediate, but the crux of the problem was his brother and sister-in-law. If the two of them were still alive, Yao Huiqin would still have a chance to make up for it, and Huo Jibai wouldn't hate her so much. However, the two of them had passed away. Yao Huiqin regretted it, but there was no chance for her to make up for it. Huo Jibai's hatred in his heart could never be removed. This became a dead knot that couldn't be untied.
…
The next morning.
Huo Jibai was always the fastest to finish his meal. Today, Shuxin ate very quickly on purpose. When Huo Jibai put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked to the living room, Shuxin hurriedly drank the milk in her cup and followed him. "Are you going to school?"
Huo Jibai was a little surprised that Shuxin followed him. He glanced at her indifferently, ignored her, and continued to walk to the door. He still remembered how she forced him to call her Auntie last night.
