"Little girl, we're not bad people. You can sell the watch uncle gave you in the big city. You can get some money and live a better life."
Huo Mien felt that a fifteen-year-old child should be able to understand these words.
"No, Grandma said … I can't take things from other people."
"This is our reward for buying corn paste from you. Is that okay?"
Huo Mien whispered to the little girl.
"Corn paste isn't worth much. We have a lot of corn in our fields. Grandma and I ground a lot of corn paste. It's enough to last us the whole winter."
The little girl pointed to a dark corner of the kitchen where there were a few bags of corn flour.
Huo Mien's heart ached when he heard this …
"You're still growing. You can't just eat this."
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Huo Siqian and Su Yu, two grown men, felt sad when they heard this.
The two of them were silent.
"Okay, we know that little girl is kind. If you don't want it, we won't give it to you."
Huo Mien gave Su Yu a look and told him to put away the watch.
"Why don't you sit down and eat with us?" Huo Mien invited her.
The little girl shook her head and pointed to the east room. "Big Brother, Big Sister, you guys eat slowly. I'll go in and accompany Grandma."
Then, the little girl went into Grandma's room.
Huo Mien looked at Su Yu. "When we get back, we'll send someone to pick them up. I'll arrange a house for the little girl to continue her studies. She's so pitiful. She has no one to rely on."
"Yeah, I think so. My heart aches when I hear this."
Su Yu put away the watch and agreed with Huo Mien.
Then, the three of them scooped up the shabby-looking corn paste and drank it.
Maybe it was because they were starving, but the three of them ate very happily.
Afraid that Huo Mien didn't have enough, Huo Siqian and Su Yu only took a few small bites and pushed the rest to Huo Mien.
"You guys go ahead. I really don't have much of an appetite. If it weren't for the baby, I wouldn't have eaten."
Huo Mien wasn't in the mood because he didn't know what was going on with Lu Yan and Qin Chu.
After the meal, it was time to rest. The little girl took two worn-out quilts, which seemed to be the only ones in the house.
"Su Yu, go sleep in the car and keep watch."
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm in the room with Little Sister Mian."
"In your dreams … I won't give you the chance to hurt Mian. Get in the car." Su Yu began to confront Huo Siqian again.
"Stop arguing, both of you, get out."
Huo Mien's words calmed the tension between the two once again …
"Alright, I agree." Hearing Huo Mien's words, Su Yu immediately raised his hand in agreement, afraid that Huo Siqian would stick to Huo Mien and play tricks on him.
"Tsk tsk … You're so heartless. I haven't seen you in so long, can't we catch up?"
Huo Siqian looked at Huo Mien gently with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm not in the mood to catch up with you right now, but if you talk to me about Leila, I'm willing to talk to you more."
"Forget it."
Hearing Huo Mien talk about Leila, Huo Siqian frowned and didn't say anything else.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, but it was about Leila.
Huo Siqian was left with bad memories. What if … his emotions got the better of him and brought out that psycho, Jack?
Wouldn't that be the opposite of what he wanted?
Therefore, Huo Siqian didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he followed Su Yu out of the door and into the car.
"Can we escape? Why do I feel like … it's too easy … Is this a trap set by you and that psycho to let us go on purpose … "
Su Yu stared at Huo Siqian from the passenger seat and asked.
"Your imagination is really wild. I think you're more suited to writing novels than running an entertainment company." Huo Siqian smiled.
"Don't you think it's too easy for us to escape?" Su Yu still felt that something was wrong.
