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

"I heard... you and Mr. Huo had a quarrel?"

Meng Xia asked hesitantly, not sure whether he was worried about Huo Xibai or simply didn't want to mention the Huo family's affairs.

Huo Xibai couldn't help but frown, "Who did you listen to?"

"Today...I met Brother Huo near the mall."

With slightly cold eyes, Huo Xibai sneered, "Mind your own business."

Meng Xia pursed her lips and whispered, "Brother Huo only asked me to tell you to go home tomorrow on New Year's Eve. He didn't say anything else. He asked me to come back and ask you."

"..."

Seeing Huo Xibai's sudden silence, Meng Xia looked up at him instead, "So what's going on? Why did you and Mr. Huo quarrel? Is it because of me?"

Glancing at the nervousness on the woman's face, Huo Xibai reached out and pinched her soft little face, "Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you, I just didn't do things according to his wishes, and he was angry. That’s all. Isn’t it always like this from childhood to adulthood?”

The man's tone was a bit mocking, and Meng Xia's heart tightened, and she remembered her previous days at the Huo family——

Mr. Huo is very busy and may not be able to go home even once a month. But Mr. Huo is indeed very powerful. Even if Meng Xia is young and doesn't understand, he can often see praise for Mr. Huo in various news newspapers.

Therefore, Mr. Huo's ability determines his status and the right to speak in the Huo family. Almost no one in the entire Huo family dared to refute his words, not even Mrs. Huo.

So Meng Xia was still a little worried when she heard the quarrel between Huo Xibai and Mr. Huo, "Then do you want to go back tomorrow? Sit down and have a talk with Mr. Huo?"

"Why do you want to go home? I am not as good as he wants."

"Well... Mr. Huo may be a bit harsh, but he is your father after all. If there is any misunderstanding, it's better to clear it up."

"He felt that I had embarrassed him, and when he left me abroad for five years without paying any attention to me, he never thought that I was his son."

Huo Xibai sneered disdainfully, let go of Meng Xia and walked to the sofa in the living room to lie down.

Seeing this, Meng Xia had no choice but to follow him, "That matter may not have been Mr. Huo's original intention. Maybe you can take this opportunity to have a good chat?"

"Do you think he is someone who can sit down and have a good chat with others?" Huo Xibai sneered, "Maybe with outsiders, but definitely not with me."

"..."

Meng Xia bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say for a moment. After all, this matter also had something to do with her——

Because of her jumping off a building, Mr. Huo, who was at a critical stage in his career, was caught and publicized by his opponents. As a result, he was defeated and the Huo family was also hit hard.

Meng Xia, who was lying in the hospital, didn't know the specific situation. She only saw on TV that the Huo family was surrounded by reporters and that Huo Xibai was also sent abroad.

In fact, Meng Xia can still understand this point alone, but if it is true as Huo Xibai said, he has been indifferent for five years...

She couldn't understand it, but she had never been able to understand the relationship between the members of the Huo family.

"Then...are you just going to stay in this stalemate? What I heard from Brother Huo seems to be...if you don't go back, there will probably be problems with your project?"

"If something goes wrong, something goes wrong. It's just a few projects. If we don't do it, we won't do it."

Huo Xibai looked indifferent. He had already made plans before he returned to China. The big deal...

He gave up everything at home and took Meng Xia abroad to a place where the Huo family could not find him.

"Would you like to...come with me?"

The black eyes fell on the woman's plain little face, and there was a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

"Go? Where?"

Meng Xia asked subconsciously, but saw the man looking at him intently and saying word by word, "Go to a place where no one knows us."

"..."
