C925 Xue Chen Was Puzzled
The middle-aged man had a warm smile on his face. He looked at Huo Hongyan. "Little sister, I didn't expect it to really be you. I thought it was a rumor. I really didn't expect you to really appear in the capital and even be with Young Master Xue!"
The person who came was none other than Huo Siming of the Eastern Sea!
At this moment, Xue Chen stood up from the sofa and walked to the door. When he saw Huo Siming, he finally understood why Huo Hongyan reacted like this.
Huo Hongyan had left the Huo Family for many years. She had even taken away Huo Hanliu, the genius of the Huo Family. Huo Siming must have been looking for her.
What about Huo Hongyan?
Of course, she didn't want Huo Siming to find her. If she wanted Huo Siming to find her, she would have seen him long ago. There was no need to hide.
Now that Huo Siming had heard the news and found her, she could not hide even if she wanted to.
"So it's Mr. Huo!" Xue Chen said lightly, "Come in!"
Since Xue Chen had said so, Huo Hongyan naturally would not say anything. She made way for Huo Siming. After Huo Siming walked in, Huo Hongyan closed the door.
"Initially, I was wondering if anything would happen during the battle between Young Master Xue and Bai Poju. Now that I see that Young Master Xue is full of energy, I am relieved."
"Hypocrite!" Huo Hongyan's pretty face was tense as she snorted coldly.
Huo Siming smiled awkwardly when he heard Huo Hongyan's words.
"Mr. Huo, please take a seat!"
After Huo Siming sat down, Xue Chen said again, "May I know why Mr. Huo is here?"
"It's nothing. I just heard that my sister has appeared in the capital, so I came to see her." Huo Siming smiled and said, "Now that I see my sister is safe and sound, I can be considered to have solved a problem."
As he spoke, Huo Siming let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if Huo Hongyan's matter had been pressing down on his heart for a long time, and had even become a knot in his heart.
Now that he saw Huo Hongyan, the lump in his heart had disappeared.
"So Hongyan is Mr. Huo's younger sister. I really don't know about this. If I knew, I would have told you already!" Xue Chen said apologetically.
"I know. I ran away from home. I wouldn't tell Young Master Xue about the Huo Family."
"Running away from home?"
"Yes."
[Why?]
"It's because of..." Huo Siming sighed as soon as he opened his mouth. "Forget it, I won't say it. I don't want my little sister to think that I'm being hypocritical again. When my little sister wants to tell you, let her tell you herself!"
As he spoke, Huo Siming's gaze landed on Huo Hongyan. He asked with concern. "Little sister, you must have suffered a lot in the outside world these years, right?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I live a carefree life without any restraints." Huo Hongyan said coldly.
It was as if the person opposite her was not her brother. It was her enemy.
"I can think of it too. You must not have been living well outside these years. You must have suffered a lot. After all, you were only a teenager when you left home. " Moreover, you have a child with you. How can you live a good life? " Huo Siming sighed slightly. He felt guilty and said, "I'm afraid many people are pointing at you behind your back."
Huo Hongyan did not say anything but fell into silence.
A teenage girl left her hometown with a child in that era. She lived alone and wanted to pull the child. How could she not be pointed at behind her back?
The answer was yes.
There were quite a lot of pointing and gossiping, but Huo Hongyan endured it all.
Or rather, the moment she left the Huo Family in front of Huo Hanliu, she already knew that there would be a lot of people in the future who would talk behind her back and point at her.
"It's Big Brother who has let you down!" Huo Siming sighed slightly. "Hongyan, that child has grown up now, right?"
"He's dead." Huo Hongyan said in a serious manner.
"What?" Huo Siming's expression changed slightly.
"Dead!" Huo Hongyan mechanically repeated what she had said earlier.
Huo Siming's expression changed when he heard Huo Hongyan's words again. "How did you die? You must be lying to me. No, right..."
Huo Siming stood up and grabbed Huo Hongyan's shoulders and started to fight.
"Let go!" Huo Hongyan shouted coldly.
At this moment, Xue Chen slowly pulled Huo Siming to the side. "Mr. Huo, don't be agitated!"
At this moment, Huo Siming was like a hairy lion. His face looked very ferocious.
However, after being pulled away by Xue Chen, Huo Siming took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Xue Chen apologetically and said, "Young Master Xue, I'm sorry. I lost control of myself just now."
"Nothing." Xue Chen did not think much of it.
"Little sister, I didn't scare you, did I?"
"I'm not that timid."
"Little sister, you must be lying to me. No, she's not dead?"
"She died ten years ago!" Huo Hongyan said again.
"Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible!"
How did she die?
What am I doing? "
"Poison!"
"Yes, I am a poison doctor. I like to study strange things. I found a poison called Death in the mouth!" said Wang Yao.
"You should be able to understand the name of the poison. It is a kind of poison. Death in the mouth and sealing the throat. There is no chance of survival."
"When I researched this thing, it was placed in an inconspicuous place. However, who would have thought that she was too mischievous. She actually dug out that thing. She thought that it was something to eat, so she ate it all. By the time I discovered it, she no longer had any breathing or pulse!"
As she spoke, Huo Hongyan's face dimmed slightly. Her eyes were also filled with unprecedented guilt!
"I don't believe..."
"Whether you believe it or not, she is indeed dead!" Huo Hongyan said with some sadness, "If you want to see her grave, I will bring you there when I have time!"
"Impossible, there is no way..." Huo Siming seemed to have gone mad and murmured, "Impossible, how could she die? It is absolutely impossible..."
Xue Chen wanted to say something, but he did not know how to do it.
Huo Hongyan chose to remain silent. She did not say anything and quietly sat on the sofa.
After a long time, Huo Siming slowly calmed down. "Little sister, is... is she really dead?"
Huo Siming's voice was full of unprecedented trembling.
Huo Hongyan took a deep breath and said somewhat sadly, "I also want her to live, but I know that it is completely impossible."
"Why, why, why don't you put the poison you made properly..."
Huo Siming pretended to get up again, but was pulled down by Xue Chen who was quick to react.
"Do you think it's still useful to talk about this now?" Huo Hongyan smiled bitterly.
Was it useful?
Huo Siming seemed to have aged dozens of years. His expression was dull and dull.
Xue Chen did not speak. He acted as a bystander.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Siming sighed heavily. "Forget it, forget it. Perhaps this is her life."
"When do you have time? Go home!"
Huo Siming stood up and dragged his heavy body out of the house. He didn't even say goodbye to Xue Chen.
After Huo Siming left, Xue Chen couldn't help but look at Huo Hongyan and ask, "Why did you lie to him?"
From the moment Huo Hongyan said that the child was dead, Xue Chen knew that Huo Hongyan was lying to Huo Siming.
He had seen Huo Hanliu before. The little girl was very healthy and she was Shen Mannni's best friend.
How could she be dead?
Huo Hongyan took a deep breath and said, "I took her away from the Huo Family because I did not want to let her fall into any dispute. Now that she has escaped with great difficulty, if I tell him that Hanliu is still alive, all of Hanliu's life paths will undergo a huge change!"
"I don't want her to be involved in these so-called grudges, and I don't want her to become a chess piece or a tool in other people's hands." Huo Hongyan smiled bitterly and said, "I just want her to be good and happy, just like the children of ordinary people!"
"Reading, dating, getting married, having children. Don't worry about other things."
"But he will investigate!"
He won't be able to find anything! " Huo Hongyan let out a breath of anger, "Hanliu's account is not with me. I spent money to let her account be with a normal family."
"And after I gave that family a sum of money, I created an illusion. They died in an accident and Hanliu became an orphan." Huo Hongyan said lightly, "It has nothing to do with me. No matter how he investigated, he could not find out!"
"Furthermore, Hanliu is now with Shen Mannni and is even safer."
After hearing Huo Hongyan's words, Xue Chen could not help but admire Huo Hongyan's high level of skill. She actually arranged everything early on.
She had arranged everything and left nothing out!
"But he will definitely not believe my words and will definitely investigate. So, Xue Chen..."
"You want me to arrange Hanliu for you, right?"
Huo Hongyan nodded heavily. "Yes, he can't find out her identity, but I'm worried that he will use other methods..."
Xue Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then can you tell me why Huo Siming cares so much about her? It was only because she had a natural knife bone. Is she a genius in martial arts? "
