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

That year, her parents died in a major traffic accident. She was only a teenager at the time, and she was too sad to do anything.

Therefore, all matters after their death were handled by her uncle, and she should live in his house as a matter of course.

But at that time, her uncle's family's financial situation was not good, and her mother had often needed help before, and now she didn't even have a spare room.

So much so that she had to sleep with her aunt, while her uncle squeezed into the same bed with her cousin.

So later I overheard that Mrs. Huo's daughter also died unexpectedly in that traffic accident, and she wanted to adopt her at a similar age, so she immediately stepped forward...

"Actually, I also know the difficulties of my uncle and aunt, so I took the initiative to tell them to go to the Huo family."

Huo Xibai couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat as he listened to her summarizing in just a few words her experience of being forced to live under someone else's roof when her parents died. "Does that just make you grateful?"

"Then have you ever thought about where the property in your parents' names went? For such a big traffic accident, the insurance company will probably pay a lot of compensation."

What's more, the words she overheard might have been intentional on their part.

Hearing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and a flash of astonishment flashed across her eyes. If Huo Xibai hadn't reminded her, she would never have thought of this.

But he still defended them subconsciously, "But they also spent a lot of money on my parents' funeral, and they have always taken care of my grandmother..."

"So? Did they not ask you for alimony later? Or are they not planning to ask you for surgery fees or even follow-up expenses now?"

"..."

Meng Xia opened her mouth, but found that she could not refute, but she heard Huo Xibai continue, "Meng Xia, can you be smarter? Can you stop others from showing kindness to you casually, so that you really believe that the other person is a good person?"

How about not?

If she doesn’t trust people who treat her well, should she still trust those who treat her badly?

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Huo Xibai's face, and Meng Xia's eyes flashed with a hint of ambiguity——

Her world is very simple, good is good and bad is bad.

She treats people who are kind to her sincerely, and avoids people who are not good to her.

She didn't understand what was wrong with this, or why they had to make it so complicated-

She couldn't detect the sword hidden under those sweet words, nor could she guess how sincere those harsh words were.

When their eyes met, Huo Xibai's heart contracted for a while, and he seemed to understand the ambiguity under her watery eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and held her hand firmly, and whispered softly, "But now that I am here, you don't have to be so smart." , just leave everything to me."

Leave everything to him...

The man's voice was low and deep, with a hint of coaxing, which made Meng Xia's mind move——

Can you really leave everything to him?No longer have to worry about work, family, or even money?

The scene in front of him seemed familiar, and Meng Xia suddenly remembered that he had had similar heartbeats twice before -

Once, the elegant and refined Mrs. Huo came to pick her up in a luxury car, and once, Song Zhihuai knelt down to propose to her while she was still sitting in a wheelchair.

But the former cost her a leg, and the latter cost her a failed marriage. So what will happen to Huo Xibai this time?

There was no sound in the silent corridor, except for Meng Xia's gradually accelerating heartbeat. It took a while before she heard her own voice——

"what do you want?"

Huo Xibai stared at her closely, his eyes burning, the woman's figure reflected in his dark eyes, his thin lips opened and closed, and he slowly uttered one word——

"you."

"From beginning to end, I only want you."
