"So you married me because you wanted a baby?" Huo Mien asked, pretending to be angry.
Before Qin Chu could say anything, Zhixin spoke up for his brother-in-law, "Sis, you're so unreasonable. Brother-in-law is already like that, and you're still trying to be unreasonable."
"Don't say anything, let him speak." Huo Mien looked at Qin Chu fiercely.
"Honey …" Qin Chu looked like he had been wronged.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make … What if he really got into trouble and they separated?
Just then, Yang Meirong walked out. "Dinner's ready."
"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie." Qin Chu respected Yang Meirong very much. Even though she had a bad temper and was prejudiced against him, Qin Chu still wanted to thank her for raising Huo Mien for more than 20 years.
"It's nothing. Don't be so polite with me. Hurry up and eat."
Yang Meirong brought out the dishes one by one, and the four of them sat around the table.
"It's all thanks to Qin Chu that Zhixin went abroad this time."
"Auntie, it's my duty."
"What's your duty? No one should do anything for anyone. Even if we're family, we have to be considerate. The house we live in is all thanks to you. I only have two wishes for the rest of my life. One is for Mian to be happy, and the other is for Zhixin to live a carefree life. As long as you guys live well, I won't have to worry about you," Yang Meirong said as she ate.
"Don't worry, Mom. We're not kids anymore." Huo Mien smiled.
"Zhixin, be a good boy when you're there. Don't get into trouble."
"Mom, I don't get into trouble in China. Don't worry. If something happens, I'll call Brother-in-law."
Qin Chu nodded …
Huo Mien looked at Zhixin and realized that Zhixin really liked Qin Chu. It was no wonder; other than Huo Mien, Qin Chu treated Zhixin the best.
He had already mentioned changing cars twice. Luckily, Huo Mien stopped him. Otherwise, Zhixin would probably be driving a Porsche by now.
After dinner, Huo Mien dilly-dallied and refused to leave.
Qin Chu was not in a hurry. He drank tea in the living room and waited for her.
In the end, Yang Meirong couldn't take it anymore, "Hurry up and leave. Look at the time. Your brother's flight is at three o 'clock. Qin Chu already arranged for a driver to send him. What are you still doing here?"
"Mom … I'll stay a little longer."
"What are you waiting for? Both of you have to go to work tomorrow. Go home and sleep. Your brother is going to school, not to suffer."
Before Huo Mien could say anything, Yang Meirong pushed and shoved Huo Mien out.
Then, she quietly got into the car with Qin Chu …
After getting into the car, Huo Mien's face was still gloomy; she was in a bad mood.
"Honey, don't be sad." Seeing Huo Mien's gloomy face, Qin Chu's heart ached.
Huo Mien was no longer mad at Qin Chu. After all, Huo Mien didn't care about Song Yishi at all.
She leaned into Qin Chu's arms and said in a small voice, "Honey, I still don't want to leave Zhixin. What should I do?"
Huo Mien was already used to being an older sister. Over the years, she would rather live frugally to take care of her brother.
Occasionally chatting with Zhixin on WeChat and eating had become a part of her life.
She never thought that one day, he would leave this city and go to a place so far away.
Therefore, she still couldn't accept it … just like how she couldn't accept Huang Yue's death.
"Life is a process of constant parting and reunions. No one is immune … everyone is the same."
Qin Chu gently hugged Huo Mien and comforted her softly …
"I know, I'm just a little sad."
In the end, Huo Mien cried in his arms for a while before the two reluctantly drove away.
Huo Mien didn't sleep much that night. She tossed and turned, thinking about Zhixin the entire time.
At three in the morning, she got up and looked at the time on her phone. Then, she went downstairs to get some water.
She looked at the dark sky outside the window and thought about how her brother was already on a plane to New Zealand, across the ocean.
"Zhixin … I hope you'll be all grown up when you come back," Huo Mien murmured quietly.
Three days later, Huo Mien went to the second board meeting of the Huo Corporation during his break.
Shen Jiani looked at the transfer records and saw that 400 million yuan had been transferred to the corporation's account.
All of the board members seemed to be relieved. Then, to no one's surprise, Huo Siyi resigned.
As a father, Huo Zhenghai apologized to the board members for not teaching his son well and put on a good show.
After the board meeting ended, Huo Siqian stopped Huo Mien.
"What?"
"Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do next?"
"That's your problem, what does it have to do with me?" Huo Mien never thought that he was on the same side as Huo Siqian.
