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

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

Huo Xibai said this and pulled Meng Xia away. When the two of them got into the car, Meng Xia suddenly realized, "Why did you say that to Mrs. Huo just now?"

"..."

Huo Xibai said nothing with a cold face, stepped on the accelerator and left directly.

The black car was driving fast on the road like an arrow that had escaped from its string. Meng Xia was so frightened that she quickly reminded her, "Huo Xibai, drive slower."

"There's a car ahead, slow down!"

"Huo Xibai!"

However, after saying it several times, the man showed no intention of stopping. She could only stretch out a hand to hold his arm, and said in a soft voice, "Huo Xibai, please slow down, I'm afraid."

Hearing this, the man seemed to finally react and slowly slowed down the car.

Seeing that he could listen, Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but say, "What happened to Mrs. Huo just now? Why did you say that?"

Although in Meng Xia's memory, Mrs. Huo did seem to be more partial to Brother Huo, they were mother and son after all, and it seemed a bit too much to hope that the other person would die, even when she was angry.

What's more, the two of them didn't look so angry that they were carried away.

Seeing Huo Xibai's expression solemn and silent, Meng Xia sighed, "No matter what, Mrs. Huo is your mother. I don't want..."

Before he finished his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by Huo Xibai's cold voice, "She is not my mother!"

Meng Xia was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. "What? You...what did you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xibai suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the black car slid on the ground, leaving long black traces.

Meng Xia's body leaned forward due to inertia, and was finally pulled back by the seat belt. Before she could recover, she heard Huo Xibai's voice again——

"She is not my mother, I am just the illegitimate son of the Huo family."

"..."

Meng Xia's eyes widened suddenly, illegitimate child?

-

The night is getting darker.

Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, Huo Xibai locked himself in the room and refused to come out. Meng Xia couldn't help but pace anxiously back and forth in front of Huo Xibai's room door.

Since returning from Mrs. Huo's place, Huo Xibai locked himself in the room without saying a word. He did not eat or drink, and could only smell the smell of smoke through the cracks in the door.

After a while, she couldn't help but knock on the door again, "Huo Xibai, do you want something to eat?"

"..."

The man didn't say anything, but Meng Xia couldn't help but say, "You haven't eaten anything for a day, at least... at least drink some water?"

"..."

There was still no movement inside, and Meng Xia couldn't help but soften her voice, "Or do you want me to go in and accompany you? If you don't want to talk, I won't. I'm just worried about you."

Normally, as long as she softened her voice to please him, Huo Xibai would agree to any conditions, but this time there was still no response. Meng Xia couldn't help but sigh, "Since you won't let me in, then I'll be at the door. Accompany you."

To be honest, although she once felt that Mrs. Huo was partial to Brother Huo, she never thought that Huo Xibai would be an illegitimate child. After all, which woman would keep an illegitimate child by her side for more than ten years.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, Huo Xibai was sent abroad for five years and he never even came back.

Even if she made a mistake, which mother would be so cruel as to leave her child abroad and ignore her?

When he thought of this, Meng Xia suddenly felt distressed. He must have had a hard time abroad, right? At that time...did he already know that he was an illegitimate child?

If not, how sad he must have been when he was abandoned abroad by what he thought was his family.

If so, when did he know about it?

Suddenly thinking of something, Meng Xia couldn't help but say, "You just told Mrs. Huo that you died abroad. What did you mean? Are you injured? Or are you sick?"
