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

Mr. Huo said he would give them three days to think about it, but before the three days were up, Uncle Huo had already come over——

On the sofa in the living room, the three of them sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was filled with strange tension.

"Do you mean I'm not the only option?"

Huo Xibai sneered, his tone a bit mocking, "It seems he is more anxious than I thought."

"After all, the young master belongs to the Huo family. No matter how you say it, it is the best choice for you, but... for the young master, this is probably the only choice."

With that said, Uncle Huo calmly took out a document bag from his bag, then pushed it in front of Meng Xia, "Miss Meng, you can take a look at this first."

Meng Xia was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that there was something to do with him. He glanced at Huo Xibai subconsciously. Under the signal from the man's eyes, he took the document bag and opened it. The woman's face suddenly changed -

"What...what is this? Mr. Huo, what does this mean!?"

Meng Xia suddenly stood up and threw the things in his hands back. A stack of photos slid out, and the protagonist of the photos was an old man who was bedridden.

"Where did you take my grandma! How could you do this to a seriously ill old man! Do you know that her body is very fragile now and she cannot bear the torture!"

Meng Xia could hardly control her emotions, and her hands clenched into fists were shaking slightly, but the man opposite him still said calmly, "Miss Meng, don't worry, as long as the young master is willing to cooperate with us, this old man will definitely not Anything will happen.”

"Then what if I refuse to cooperate?"

Huo Xibai snorted coldly, but saw the man replying unhurriedly, "After all, the old man is old and has undergone major surgery. Even if he catches the cold occasionally, his life may be in danger."

Meng Xia almost lost her breath with these light words, "How could you..."

Even though she had lived in the Huo family for five years, even though she had seen the difference between the Huo family and ordinary families, she never expected that Mr. Huo was actually such a person——

Obviously, major newspapers are praising his moral merits, but for his own selfish desires, he even does not hesitate to use an old man whose life is numbered to threaten others.

Shocked and angry, Meng Xia was almost speechless. It wasn't until Huo Xibai pulled her into his arms that she suddenly raised her head, "Huo Xibai..."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

After comforting her softly, Huo Xibai turned to Uncle Huo and said coldly, "Go back and tell Huo Yuan that I will do as he said, just in case something happens to Meng Xia's grandmother..."

"Don't worry, young master, there won't be any accidents."

After saying that, the man stood up and nodded slightly, "In that case, I won't disturb you two. Knowing that you two are not used to living in the Huo family, Mr. Huo has already prepared a place for you. You two can move directly there today. .”

At the end, he did not forget to add another sentence, "Because the eldest young master's affairs are still unclear, so in order to ensure the safety of the two of you, sir, I have specially arranged bodyguards at the residence, so that the two of you can live with peace of mind."

There are still people who can talk about house arrest and surveillance in such nice terms!

Huo Xibai snorted and said nothing, and the man didn't seem to need his reply, so he turned and left with a slight smile.

It wasn't until the man's figure completely disappeared that Meng Xia looked at Huo Xibai worriedly and said, "I'm sorry for embarrassing you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for me, you and grandma wouldn't have gone through this at all. If you have to say I'm sorry, it's me who's sorry for you..."

Meng Xia pursed her lips, still a little worried, "Will grandma be okay?"

"Don't worry, their target is me. As long as I'm here, grandma will be fine."

"What about you? If something happens to Brother Huo suddenly, will you be in danger too?"

Huo Xibai took her into his arms and hugged her tightly, "No matter what happens, I'm not afraid, as long as you are by my side."

"..."

Meng Xia said nothing and snuggled into his arms obediently. Now she could only take one step at a time and watch one step at a time.
