At eight in the evening.
When Huo Jibai went upstairs, he bumped into Shuxin, who was getting a glass of water downstairs. He threw her a disdainful look and said, "Despicable person."
Shuxin looked confused. "Huo Jibai, are you crazy? What did I do to offend you?"
Huo Jibai stopped and turned to look at Shuxin, who was two steps down the stairs. "If you're not a despicable person, then what are you?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're so good at pretending." Huo Jibai snorted and turned to go upstairs.
Shuxin was inexplicably glared at and mocked by Huo Jibai. She was very unhappy. She walked up a few steps and grabbed hold of Huo Jibai. "Tell me clearly!"
"Did you tell my fifth uncle about what happened at the coffee shop during the day?" Huo Jibai asked coldly.
Shuxin said, "No."
"Still pretending?" Huo Jibai snorted. "Didn't you tell my fifth uncle why he called me so late at night?"
Shuxin finally understood what he meant. She was furious and sneered. "You're so funny. How would I know why your fifth uncle called you here? Don't blame everything on me. Maybe your fifth uncle found out that you did something bad again and called you here to be punished. "
Huo Jibai saw that Shuxin did not look like she was faking it. "You really didn't tell him?"
"Am I such a bad person?"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you tell him last time?"
"I didn't tell him." Shu Xin was about to be angered to death by this brat. "Last time, it was your fifth uncle who realized that something was wrong and asked me. I was just stating the truth. Complaining is taking the initiative to tell him. These are two completely different concepts."
Huo Jibai saw that Shuxin was so angry that her face turned red. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. "If you didn't tell him, then so be it. Why are you so angry? If you can't keep your cool, how can you be my elder? "
"I …" Shuxin was about to explode because of Huo Jibai. "Does being an elder mean I have to let you slander me?"
Huo Jibai waved his slender index finger. "No, as an elder, you must have a forgiving heart. You can't be so narrow-minded."
Shuxin, "…" He was spouting nonsense and slandering her for no reason, and now he was saying that she was narrow-minded?
"If you want me to call you Auntie, you have to cultivate for a few more years." Huo Jibai patted Shuxin's shoulder and turned to go upstairs. Behind him, he could still hear Shuxin's angry voice.
Huo Jibai came to the study and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and came to the desk. He said respectfully, "Fifth Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"There's something on the coffee table over by the sofa. Go take a look." Huo Yanqing signed the document in his hand and opened another one. He continued to 'read' it with his hands.
Huo Jibai came to the sofa and sat down. There was a stack of documents on the coffee table. There was a yellow envelope on top of the documents. He picked up the envelope and opened it. It seemed to be full of photos. He flipped the envelope and poured out the photos. Huo Jibai was stunned. After looking at a few photos, he looked at Huo Yanqing excitedly. "Fifth Uncle, did you find my mother?"
Huo Yanqing stopped what he was doing. "No, these are photos of Ding Han."
Huo Jibai looked down and took a closer look. He realized that it really wasn't his mother. The woman in the photos had a sharp and decisive look in her eyes. His mother's eyes were as warm as the winter sun, but their facial features were exactly the same.
