Tang Jiao was holding a paint-red oil-paper umbrella and wearing an exquisite red plaid dress.
She gently pressed the Gu family's doorbell.
A woman was waiting at the door and immediately invited people in.
As Tang Jiao walked on the steps, she felt that the rain seemed a little heavier and her steps were a little faster.
She knew that Mrs. Huo was about to leave, but this happened probably three days ago, but she didn't know why Mrs. Huo hadn't left yet.
As his thoughts flowed, he had already entered the living room.
The old lady always dressed exquisitely and meticulously.
And the person beside her was none other than Huo Xiao.
When he saw Tang Jiao coming in, he showed no further expression and raised his hand to motion for her to sit down.
Tang Jiao sighed, sat opposite the old lady, and called her "Grandma Huo" obediently.
Huo Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and then handed an apple to Tang Jiao.
Tang Jiao thanked her, took the apple and held it in her hands, but she didn't eat it, instead she put it on her lap, which seemed a bit interesting.
Mrs. Huo looked Tang Jiao up and down, and then said, "What is Yue Jiawen doing here?"
Although she seemed calm, Tang Jiao felt that the words were squeezed out from between her teeth, and she wanted to kill someone.
She smiled and said, "Are you still staring at our house?"
Mrs. Huo snorted.
But Huo Xiao admitted: "I met Yue Jiawen when I entered."
In fact, it was not what he said. When the old lady's entourage came to open the door, he saw Yue Jiawen, so he naturally said it when he entered.
The old lady had a very bad impression of Yue Jiawen.
In other words, the people involved with Yue Jiawen could easily touch the old lady's nerves.
The old lady glanced at Huo Xiao, but she didn't explain anything to him.
Tang Jiao's long eyelashes flashed and she said with a smile, "He asked me for help."
It's self-evident what kind of help you can do.
The old lady snorted.
Tang Jiao leaned on the sofa and said slowly: "He came out with me. If the old lady is interested, you can... invite him to come over and have a chat with you. He must not have gone far yet."
Tang Jiao smiled, but there was something in her words.
Of course the old lady could tell. She sneered, then glanced at Tang Jiao and said, "You are quite interesting."
Tang Jiao spread her hands.
The old lady affirmed: "You didn't promise him."
Tang Jiao asked back: "What does it matter if I agree or not? Besides, I am not a very kind person. Master Xiao should know this clearly. I will not do anything that is not beneficial. I can't do it. .”
She fiddled with her hands and got an apple. Her long hair hung down, giving off a somewhat indistinguishable temperament.
Mrs. Huo said: "I will leave for Peiping the day after tomorrow."
Tang Jiao bit her lip and said softly: "Then I wish you a safe journey."
Mrs. Huo added: "If you want to come to Peiping as a guest, you can find me. Anyway, we have been neighbors for a few days."
Tang Jiao wondered if this could be considered a gesture of goodwill from the old lady.
On second thought, it doesn’t seem to count, right
She said hello softly, then looked up at Huo Xiao and asked softly: "Master Xiao, are you sending the old lady back?"
Huo Xiao leaned on the sofa casually, looking a bit lazy. Hearing Tang Jiao's question, he raised his head and looked at her, their eyes meeting each other.
Huo Xiao's voice was low and cold: "Send it to you from Mr. Liu."
Tang Jiao let out a sigh and said, "Oh."
Huo Ziqi and the old lady seem to have a very normal relationship!
Although she was an outsider, Tang Jiao was not without feelings.
She smiled and said, "That's it."
Then he lowered his head and stroked his apple.
"What do you think... of this child Ziqi?"
The old lady asked suddenly.
Tang Jiao sighed, raised her head and said, "Principal Huo? He's pretty good! But I don't know him very well."
Tang Jiao was a little wary. After all, this was Mrs. Huo. If she wasn't careful at all, she might be killed.
Who knows why she suddenly mentioned Huo Ziqi.
The strangest thing is Mrs. Huo. She treats Huo Ziqi, her biological grandson, better than Huo Xiao, her son's adopted son.
She smiled: "If you don't understand your family, then an outsider like me will understand nothing."
She spread her hands and smiled slightly: "You think so?"
Mrs. Huo nodded meaningfully and said, "That's right."
If she had a faint smile, she had enough, waved her hands and said, "Go back."
Tang Jiao didn't move.
Mrs. Huo's appearance is quite surprising. Is it just for such a trivial matter
Mrs. Huo said: "Is it possible that you still want me to treat you to dinner?"
Tang Jiao stood up and whispered softly: "Actually, even if you invite me, I might not dare to eat it. I'm very timid."
She smiled slightly, but the meaning behind her words was not that of a timid person.
Huo Xiaoruo raised his lips, then stood up: "I'm about to leave, so I'll see you off."
He did not look at Tang Jiao, but instead spoke to Mrs. Huo in a gentle voice: "Grandma, I'm leaving first. If there's anything, please contact me. I'll see you off at the station the day after tomorrow."
Such Huo Xiao is really rare.
Tang Jiao had never heard him speak so gently. She was indeed her grandmother!
Mrs. Huo smiled. She patted Huo Xiao and warned: "Pay attention to your health and don't always risk your life. I, an old woman, know how to take good care of myself. If you hurt your body, I will be angry." .”
Huo Xiao nodded: "Grandma, don't worry."
Tang Jiao blinked.
The two went out together. Huo Xiao held up his big black umbrella, and Tang Jiao held up her own umbrella and walked beside him. The two were a little far apart.
The two of them were speechless all the way until they reached the door. Tang Jiao waved, "Goodbye."
Huo Xiao stopped, looked into Tang Jiao's eyes and said, "Don't get involved in Yue Jiawen's affairs."
Tang Jiao smiled coldly and said, "Which of your eyes saw that I was involved? I don't want to care about it at all."
Huo Xiao nodded and turned to leave.
Tang Jiao pulled him directly and asked, "Are you warning? Or a reminder?"
She looked into Huo Xiao's eyes.
Huo Xiao was speechless.
Tang Jiao's eyes were bright, and she took a deep breath: "Forget it if you don't say it."
Turned to leave.
Huo Xiao spoke at this moment: "Reminder."
Tang Jiao stopped, raised her lips, then tilted her head and said to him, "Thank you."
She smiled brightly, and Huo Xiao was stunned by such a smile.
Quickly, he added: "If you help Yue Jiawen, the Huo family will not let you go. Don't think that Gu Tingyun can dominate the sky with one hand in Shanghai. He may not be able to do anything else, but it is too easy to kill a lot of people." .”
Tang Jiao sneered and said, "You obviously want to do it for my own good, but you have to say it in this tone. It's not good for you to do this."
Tang Jiao pouted.
She sighed: "You really can't speak."
Huo Xiaoruo smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, you know that Yue Jiawen is a taboo that cannot be touched. You must not break it."
He was extremely serious, and Tang Jiao also understood.
Tang Jiao lowered her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck, which Huo Xiao could see from the right angle. His eyes were dark and profound.
"I understand."
Tang Jiao thought, these relationships are like a mess, and no one is completely innocent.
The Huo family was the culprit, but Gu Tingyun's mother also secretly took the child out and threw it away. There is a reason for the Huo family's hatred.
These are like a strange circle.
She waved her hand: "I'm a person who can't afford to do anything early, so I'm not in the mood to care about these things."
Huo Xiao laughed: "I always say that I do good things with a cold face, but you are not the same. You are obviously kind-hearted but you always say that you are not a good person. Awkward little girl."
After saying this, Huo Xiao thought, are the awkward old man and the awkward little girl a perfect match
Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably happy in my heart, but after feeling happy, I felt that something was really wrong with me.
He said: "Go back."
Tang Jiao hummed and walked back holding an umbrella. She didn't hear the sound of the car. When she turned around, she saw Huo Xiao standing at the door of Gu's house, looking at her, motionless.
Tang Jiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly ran back with a thud.
For a moment, Huo Xiao even thought that Tang Jiao would rush into his arms, but... he thought too much after all.
Tang Jiao stopped suddenly. She gasped slightly and asked, "Can you give me a ride?"
Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Tang Jiao smiled brightly and said: "I miss Master Qi and want to see him."
Perhaps for Gu Tingyun, this is the best love word.
But for Huo Xiao, it was indeed the last thing he wanted to hear.
He didn't know when he started to have such thoughts. Maybe it was the first time they met, maybe it was the grace of saving each other later. He couldn't explain what was going on with him, but he felt that he was becoming more and more unable to control himself.
But if he wanted to fight with Gu Tingyun, he couldn't do it.
It's not how good Gu Tingyun is that matters.
But... the Huo family.
He adjusted his emotions and asked, "Where is your car?"
Tang Jiao: "Go to the hospital."
Huo Xiao: "Get in the car."
He turned and left.
Tang Jiao saw that his aura suddenly changed and she didn't know what was wrong with this man.
But maybe men also suffer from emotional illness for a few days each month
She lowered her head and quickly followed him into the car.
She said: "Thank you."
Huo Xiao pursed his lips and shook his head.
Tang Jiao concluded that this person must be emotionally ill.
It was fine just now, but suddenly I felt uncomfortable.
She clicked her tongue and approached the window. The rain outside the window was getting heavier. Tang Jiao rubbed the glass and rested her head on it.
There was only the scent of the two of them in the small space.
The umbrella she kept beside her fell over.
Tang Jiao immediately lowered her head to help, but her movements suddenly paused.
Huo Xiao sensed something was wrong with her and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Then he thought of his prosthetic leg, clenched his fists, pursed his lips tightly, and accelerated the car.
Huo Xiao's sudden acceleration of the car was obviously because he cared about others seeing his legs.
Tang Jiao naturally saw something wrong with his legs, but she also saw something else... her dagger.
Tang Jiao asked crisply: "Huo Xiao, do you owe me anything?"
Huo Xiao: "Huh?"
Tang Jiao stretched out her hand: "You took my dagger when we were in Liyang, and you haven't given it back to me yet."
She raised her chin and said seriously: "I saw it, in your boots."
Although only a small part was exposed, Tang Jiao recognized her own things.
What surprised her was not her legs, but the dagger Huo Xiao carried with him. It was obvious that Huo Xiao had misunderstood.
He misunderstood the pause he had made when he saw his legs.
Huo Xiao was stunned and then said: "Dagger?"
Tang Jiao sneered: "Do you still want to pretend to be stupid?"
She changed the topic easily.
"It's okay if you don't remember the grace of saving my life. You still haven't returned the dagger to me."
She pouted, very dissatisfied.
However, Huo Xiao's expression softened a lot in an instant.
He smiled: "If you don't pay back, will you hit someone?"
Tang Jiao snorted and said, "What do you think?"
Huo Xiao smiled and joked: "Then I really want to see you hit someone without repaying him."
Tang Jiaohehe.
She wanted to explode.
Huo Xiao felt inexplicably good when he saw her like this.
He smiled: "Tang Jiao, have you brought any money?"
Tang Jiao snorted and said angrily: "Not only did you not return the dagger to me, you also wanted to borrow money from me! You are so bad!"
Huo Xiao really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Tang Jiao with a smile and said, "Borrowing money from you?"
Tang Jiao raised her chin and said, "Then why are you asking me?"
She is not satisfied!
Huo Xiao really felt that he couldn't understand the child's emotions.
He shook his head with a smile, and then said: "I was just asking casually."
Tang Jiao was arrogant: "It's not okay to ask casually!"
Huo Xiao smiled innocently and stopped the car: "Then wait for me!"
Tang Jiao: "Huh?"
Huo Xiao crossed the street and soon entered a Western-style bakery.
Tang Jiao looked at his back and lowered her eyes. Sure enough, everyone has taboos that cannot be said. Huo Xiao's was his legs.
Fortunately, she managed the topic very well, right
