She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

"Don't you still have Xiao Song? If it really doesn't work... just let us borrow it from you, okay?"

"Ah."

Huo Xibai sneered coldly, "You didn't even know she was divorced. When we got married, we kept in touch very quickly!"

"Huo Xibai."

Meng Xia couldn't help but chuckled, and then stopped his nonsense, "Uncle, don't take it to heart what he said."

"Then he said you and Xiao Song..."

Meng Xia lowered his eyes and avoided talking about it, "I will find a way to deal with the money matter, but let grandma have the surgery as soon as possible."

How could the man dare to say no? He blushed and nodded randomly.

After the group of people left the office, the man immediately made an excuse to leave. Meng Xia looked at the man's hunched back and was slightly lost in thought. The man's disdainful voice came to mind again in his ears, "What? Are you soft-hearted again?"

Hearing this, Meng Xia remembered the conversation last night, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed softly, "It's not that he is soft-hearted. Although he does have something wrong, what he said is right. He has been the one all these years. Taking care of grandma."

"He also has two children at home. Seeing that his hair has turned gray when he was only fifty, we know that his life must not be easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cheek suddenly hurt——

Huo Xibai pinched the right side of her cheek, feeling angry and helpless, "When will you give me half of your softness towards others?"

"What I hate the most is how you happily help others count money after being sold."

"Meng Xia, can you be tougher? You don't owe them anything."

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and suddenly remembered an elegant and delicate face in her mind, and remembered that she once said——

[Meng Xia, I don’t want you to repay me for the five years of raising me, but even if you raise a dog, it will know how to act coquettishly and wag its tail at me, instead of biting back like you do. 】

After a while, she heard herself make a weak voice, "I owe it, why don't I owe it?"

"I was young at that time, couldn't help myself and was not sensible. I accepted the slightest kindness from others with joy and no worries."

"Later I realized that every grain of rice I had eaten and every piece of clothing I had worn would become a weakness that others would poke at my spine and scold, but I could not refute."

The woman's voice was light and her half-downed eyes made it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes, but it made Huo Xibai even more heartbroken. He stretched out his long arms and rubbed her into his arms, "That's not your fault."

"Whose fault is that?"

Was it her parents who died unexpectedly?Is it because her uncle is from a poor family and can't afford to support her?Or Mrs. Huo who adopted her?

"It was my fault."

"I didn't wake up earlier and didn't protect you well. I will pay back what you owe me, so you don't need to owe anyone else in the future, you just need to rely on me."

"From now on, just be gentle to me."

A deep voice sounded in her ears, each word hitting her ear bones, as if falling on the apex of her heart.

"..."

Breathing for a moment, Meng Xia blinked his eyes, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes——

"why?"

Why her? Why did you treat her like that before and suddenly treat her so well now?

"There is no reason, if I have to say...because you are Meng Xia."

Meng Xia? Is there anything redeeming about Meng Xia?

"...Huo Xibai, you will lose money."

The woman's eyes were open and she didn't know where she was looking, her dark pupils had no place to stay.

"No, as long as it's you, you won't lose."

"..."

After a long time, the woman closed her eyes and raised her hand to hold the corner of his clothes.
