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

Huo Xibai watched the man walking towards him step by step. After squinting at him for a moment, he suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "You have lost weight and grown taller."

We haven't seen each other for five years, but we only have this kind of words that are neither salty nor cold. They are not like biological brothers, or even worse than old classmates who haven't seen each other for several years.

Huo Xibai lowered his head and said nothing. It took a while before he spoke, "Why did you ask me to come back?"

"do not know."

"..."

Yes, no one can guess what their father is thinking.

Huo Xibai narrowed his eyes and walked past the man towards the house, but he heard a deep and cold voice behind him, "My mother is upstairs. She just stayed in the hospital a while ago. She should be very happy if you go see her. "

"..."

Huo Xibai curled up the corners of his mouth, wanting to smile a little, just because he was afraid that if he went, she might have to go to the hospital again.

Ignoring the man's words, Huo Xibai went directly into the house and went up to the second floor. When he passed the master bedroom, he paused——

But he only paused for a moment, and then went directly to the study.

The large study room was clean and simple, with a scent of books and ink. It was no different from what he remembered. However, he no longer had much impression of the owner of the study room——

As long as Huo Xibai can remember, his father has been very busy. He can see him on TV and in the news, but he cannot see him from home.

As the head of the Huo family, Mr. Huo has many things to do every day, so there are always others waiting for him——

Huo Xibai had been waiting for five hours, already past the scheduled seven o'clock, and the pointer was already pointing to ten.

He could almost imagine a group of hungry people downstairs, waiting for him to come back for a meal, like a king in feudal society. As long as he didn't move his chopsticks, no one would dare to move even if he starved to death.

Huo Xibai had a sneer on his lips, picked up the gray coat on the side and was about to leave. However, before he had taken two steps, there was a movement downstairs——

It was the sound of a car stopping.

Within a moment, a servant came over and asked him to come down, "Young Master, sir, please come down for a meal." "There's no need to eat, I'll wait here for him to finish."

Huo Xibai's voice had no emotion, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. The servant could only stand there awkwardly, "This..."

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Huo Xicheng walking over and looked at him as if asking for help.

Huo Xicheng walked in, his deep voice filled with threats, "If you don't want to make him angry, you'd better go down with me."

"..."

Huo Xibai looked at him for a few seconds, and finally stepped down with him.

In the restaurant downstairs, a man and a woman were sitting——

With her hair tied up, the woman looks gentle and beautiful, and her well-maintained skin does not reveal her actual age at all.

When he heard the movement, he just glanced at Huo Xibai lightly and quickly looked away, as if he didn't see Huo Xibai at all.

The man sitting in the main seat could not help but frown, "Since you have returned to China, why don't you go home?"

I don't know which word hit Huo Xibai's smile, his thin lips slightly hooked, "I'm used to living alone."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and your brother's engagement party is also approaching. Please stay at home these days to help."

Huo Xibai glanced at the servants standing almost in a row next to him, and couldn't help but say, "There are so many people here, what else do you need my help with?"

"Of course no one else can help!"

The man suddenly raised his voice, and the already quiet restaurant suddenly became silent.

After a moment, the man coughed again and softened his voice, "You are not young anymore. It's time to get in touch with the group's affairs. It happens that your brother has a lot of things recently. As a younger brother, of course you have to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xibai noticed a line of sight falling on him. He instinctively looked up and met Madam Huo's eyes——
