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

"Do you think you should repay kindness with hatred...twice?"

The woman's voice was very low, not harsh at all, and could even be called gentle. However, every word hit Meng Xia's heart like a huge stone, making her unable to breathe.

Back then, she also said a few words in such a light manner, which made her panic for a moment, and she rushed to the doctor because of her illness, and quickly married Song Zhihuai.

It was the same now, she almost wanted to agree to her words, but when she thought of Huo Xibai, she suddenly wanted to persist again——

"Mrs. Huo, I know that it was my fault. I was ignorant back then. I didn't know it would bring so much trouble to the Huo family..."

"what about now?"

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Huo suddenly interrupted her, "You are not young now. Are you sensible?"

"..."

Meng Xia was speechless. The person in front of her was Mrs. Huo, the mistress of the Huo family. Her knowledge and eloquence were beyond her ability.

What's more, she was right, at least five years of upbringing was real, and she couldn't refute her.

But she didn't want to give up just like that, even for Huo Xibai, she gritted her teeth and spoke again, "Believe it or not, I really like Huo Xibai now and want to be with him, and so does he. "

"So? Just because of your family-like feelings, you have to sacrifice the Huo family's reputation?"

Mrs. Huo's voice was neither urgent nor slow, but the eyes staring at her almost pierced through her, "Do you know? If you hadn't made such a big fuss at the beginning, as the adopted daughter of the Huo family, it would be okay for you to be with Huo Xibai. .”

"But since you have made such a big fuss and got married, you still want to have something to do with the Huo family...Are you planning to let everyone see the Huo family's jokes?"

Meng Xia clenched her palms, wanting to refute, but she didn't know how to speak. Mrs. Huo's speech was always airtight, so she couldn't find anything wrong.

Just as they were struggling with what to do, they suddenly heard a movement behind them, and the two of them looked up -

It was Huo Xibai who broke in regardless of the obstruction.

"Meng Xia, are you okay?"

The man came over to show concern as he was running and panting. Meng Xia was stunned, "Why are you here?"

"You said you were going to the store, but you didn't even bring your phone with you. How can you expect me to believe it?"

After looking her up and down and confirming that she was okay, Huo Xibai turned to look at Mrs. Huo aside and said coldly, "I have warned you a long time ago. If you have any trouble, just come to me and don't cause trouble for her." ,otherwise……"

"I don't mind snatching the things you protect with all your heart and playing with them."

Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but tug on his sleeve. No matter what, she didn't want Huo Xibai to get angry with Mrs. Huo because of her.

However, Mrs. Huo didn't seem to mind much and said calmly, "Do you think I am willing to interfere in your affairs? Do you think he won't know if you are so high-profile?"

"Oh, even if you have to do something like this for him, Mrs. Huo is really his good wife!"

I don't know if that word stimulated the woman's nerves, but Meng Xia could clearly feel that Mrs. Huo's face darkened, "So you should have stayed abroad honestly in the first place, and nothing would have happened."

"Mrs. Huo would prefer that I die abroad, right? Then no one can shake Huo Xicheng's position, and you don't have to see my face again."

Mrs. Huo sneered, "As long as you understand."

Meng Xia was shocked and didn't understand why they were saying such things, but before she could ask, Huo Xibai had already pulled her away——

"If you don't want anything to happen to Huo Xichen, don't cause trouble for her."
