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

The palm of his hand was suddenly squeezed tightly by Meng Xia. Huo Xibai glanced at the stiff-faced woman. After receiving her look for help, he hesitated for a moment, but subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of her calmly.

"Dad? Why are you here?"

The visitor was wearing a black handmade custom-made suit. The well-cut material made his whole body stand upright. If it weren't for the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his true age would not be visible at all.

Mr. Huo naturally saw the woman next to Huo Xibai at a glance, especially since she was wearing Huo Xibai's coat.

His eyes paused slightly, but only stayed for two seconds before looking at Huo Xibai again, and said in a stern tone, "There are so many guests in front of you, why don't you go greet them quickly?"

"Oh."

Huo Xibai rarely choked. He just gave Lu Zeye a look and walked over, "Here he comes."

"Look at what you look like now, why don't you go change your clothes!"

Catching a glimpse of the wrinkles on his shirt, Mr. Huo glared at Huo Xibai displeasedly, and then turned his attention to the coat Meng Xia was wearing——

Even from a short distance away, Meng Xia could feel the other person's gaze. For a moment, she was so frightened that she stopped breathing. She lowered her head even harder, for fear of being recognized by the other party——

If she was recognized by Mr. Huo at this time, she simply couldn't imagine the consequences...

"Didn't you say you want to take me to welcome the guest? Are you still not leaving?"

Fortunately, Huo Xibai interrupted him in time, and Mr. Huo turned around and left. Huo Xibai also followed. Just after walking more than ten meters away, he heard the man's low voice, "Whose family does it belong to?"

"..."

Huo Xibai didn't say anything, and the man's brows tightened, "Your brother has stabilized now, and you should think about it. If it's someone who can't even tell you his name, it's better to cut off contact as soon as possible."

Huo Xibai slightly raised his lips, "Isn't it enough to marry the Rong family? Since you already have one chess piece, why do you need a second one?"

"Sometimes having a big appetite is not a good thing."

After a pause, Mr. Huo suddenly stopped to look at him, and Huo Xibai also stopped with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were indifferent.

"So? You want to resist me? Just because of that woman?" Unlike Huo Xibai, the man stared at him with a calm and profound gaze, but with a domineering air that was not angry and self-defeating. He was someone who had been in the top position for many years. precipitation.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while. Since you enjoy superior treatment, of course you must be ready to sacrifice at any time. You should have such an awareness when you were born into the Huo family."

"Superior treatment? Are you referring to the five years I spent wandering in a foreign land, or are you referring to the fact that you forced me into the company now?"

Huo Xibai chuckled lightly, "Sorry, I'm actually not interested in any of this. I'm not Huo Xicheng. I have no interest in the Huo family at all, so I won't become a pawn at your mercy."

After that, he turned around and left, but the man behind him suddenly asked in a deep voice, "If you are not interested, then why did you come back?"

"..."

After a pause, Huo Xibai curled his lips slightly and said, "Of course I'm coming back for something I'm interested in."

After that, regardless of the man's reaction, he walked away directly, leaving the man standing there, pinching his eyebrows with a headache.

"Dad, why are you here? Uncle Xu is here and looking for you."

"Oh, I see."

Huo Xicheng suddenly appeared and called him. The man responded and was about to follow him. Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, do you know why Xi Bai came back suddenly?"

"..."

His eyes paused slightly, and Huo Xicheng quickly raised his lips, "Maybe he's homesick, and he just finished his studies there."

Hearing this, Mr. Huo stared at him for a few seconds, without any emotion, but with an atmosphere of tension.

A few seconds later, Mr. Huo said in a deep voice, "I don't care why he came back. Don't let him cause trouble again."

"If you don't have this ability, then let's put the management of the group aside for now."

"……Yes."
