I finally breathed a sigh of relief that Dangshen Maw was no longer used at home.

After dinner, Huo Xiao went upstairs to work, and I lay on the sofa in the living room and called Lao Tan.

Lao Tan received the things I sent, but he was not very happy. He told me not to send him things. Those things are so good that they can be used for relatives.

I didn't like it very much, and said that I wanted to give it to him, and he had to take it if he didn't want it.

Old Tan smiled and scolded me, and asked me how I was doing recently.

I put my chin on my arm and lied to him that I was fine in my new home and both sisters were lovely.

In fact I don't even remember their names.

Old Tan was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that your parents are more partial to your two younger sisters and left you out in the cold."

"It's okay," I smiled at the camera, "I also have an older brother who treats me very well."

"Really, so you don't have to worry about me."

Old Tan heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, I'm related to you by blood, so why bother me. I'm going to hand over the store to Xiao Chen in two days, and go to Jinjiang to see you. It's convenient." Not convenient?"

I was supposed to go back to Xining to see him.

My eyes were a little red, I buried my face in my arms, and said sullenly: "It's convenient, why is it inconvenient, it's convenient to come anytime. I'm sorry, I should go back to see you."

"What are you talking about? I'm sorry. You've only been home for a few days. Aren't I afraid that you'll run back to see me as soon as you get home and be gossiped by other people in your family?"

Old Tan comforted me with a smile: "So I thought I might as well go and see you, as if I were traveling to Jinjiang, a big city, I haven't been there yet."

"Then when will you come, I'll book a ticket for you."

Lao Tan discussed the approximate date with me, and told me to be polite at home and not to be criticized badly.

After hanging up the phone, I turned over on the sofa, a little worried that Lao Tan came to see my family.

Thinking of this gives me a bit of a headache, so I just don't think about it, and let's take one step at a time.

Because there were too many things on my mind, I didn't fall asleep until it was almost early in the morning.

The next morning, I turned off the alarm as soon as it rang. I was laying on the bed and wanted to sleep late, but Huo Xiao came in again and lifted the covers off me.

"get up."

I dawdled and couldn't remember, Huo Xiao lowered his voice: "Don't make me say it a second time."

I shivered and sat up quickly from the bed, "I'll get up right away."

"Ah."

Huo Xiao stood beside the bed with no intention of leaving: "Tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday, so I'll go to the hotel with me to set up the venue at noon."

My eyes lit up, and I asked with some expectation: "Are you coming back to pick me up at noon?"

Huo Xiao looked at me like an idiot, "What are you thinking? Hurry up and pack it up, don't delay my going to the company."

I knew he didn't have the kindness to leave me at home, and scratched my hair a little irritably. I jumped off the bed and walked to the bathroom. Halfway through the walk, I remembered something: "Shall we go at noon?"

Huo Xiao had already walked to the door, and turned around when he heard the words: "Huh?"

I asked again: "Are we going to the hotel at noon today, are the others not here?"

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Why are you asking this?"

I don't know why I ask this, I just want to ask subconsciously.Getting along with Huo Xiao is enough for me, and I am inexplicably disgusted with seeing other people.

Of course, I can't tell Huo Xiao that way, the question was just a random question, and I didn't expect Huo Xiao to answer, so I shook my head: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Your father should be there too." Huo Xiao took a deep look at me, "I don't know much about the others."

My Father.

I sighed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

The young man in the mirror had disheveled hair, red eye sockets, and a sickly pale face, looking haggard.

I touched my face sadly in the mirror, and felt for the first time that my face needed maintenance.

So after washing up, I carefully applied Dabao on my face in front of the mirror.

When I packed up and went downstairs, Huo Xiao had already finished his breakfast and was sitting on the sofa watching the financial channel.

I glanced at the TV, and there was a bunch of red, green and green lines on the screen, which I couldn't understand at all.

Huo Xiao didn't look back when he heard me coming down, "I'll give you 15 minutes to have breakfast."

I looked at the bread and bacon on the table, randomly rolled a roll and stuffed it into my mouth, then went to the refrigerator and opened a can of Coke, while eating, I turned on my phone to read the news.

My dad had a call this morning, but I don't see it when I sleep with my phone on Do Not Disturb.

I swallowed and leaned against the fridge to call him back.

He didn't answer the bell until it rang four or five times, and immediately asked me why I didn't answer his call.

Surely I couldn't tell him I wasn't up at the time, I just found some excuse to fool him, and I asked him why he called me.

"Oh, tomorrow is your grandpa's birthday. At noon, you ask Huo Xiao to take you to the hotel. I'm also in the hotel. Then I'll take you home and let your mother take you to pick out some clothes."

I glanced at Huo Xiao, from where I could only see his shoulders and head protruding from the back of the sofa.

As I mentioned before, Huo Xiao has a very good figure, with neat lines from neck to shoulders. Just a little back view can make people dream about, wanting to see what his face will look like.

I dealt with my father's phone call perfunctorily, took a Coke and walked to the sofa next to Huo Xiao and sat down, leaning on the pillow and looking at him.

Huo Xiao's eyes moved from the TV screen to my hand, and his brows frowned: "Who taught you to drink this for breakfast, and next time I will throw it away for you."

I was pinching the coke can that I had just taken out of the refrigerator. The drops of water on the can were cold on my hands. I put the can on the tea table, rubbed my fingers on my clothes, and told Huo Xiao my father absent-mindedly. The purpose of calling.

There are two younger sisters on my parents' side. Although I don't have much contact with them, their attitude towards me is not very friendly.

Not annoying, but not close either.

In fact, I can understand this feeling, as if the four of them are a happy family. Although I am also a part of that family, I have been absent for nearly 20 years, and even to those two sisters, I am a complete stranger , so it is difficult to integrate into them.

I even feel that staying here with Huo Xiao is better than going home.

Huo Xiao didn't speak all the time, I was a little confused and annoyed, so I asked unconsciously: "Would you ask the driver to pick me up after shopping for clothes? Can I call you when the time comes?"

Huo Xiao looked at me in surprise, "Yes."

That being said, I breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they are my family, so it's not good to escape like this, but I really don't want to deal with those hypocritical and polite family affection.

Especially seeing the biological parents talking and laughing with the two younger sisters, it is a lie to say that they are not uncomfortable.

Arriving at the company with a messy mind, after pushing open the office door, I was surprised to find that there was an extra humidifier in the office, humming and running next to the sofa.

I couldn't help but glanced at Huo Xiao, Huo Xiao had already sat at the desk to listen to Fang Jie's report on today's work schedule, and didn't notice me.

After Fang Jie left, I thanked Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao accepted my thanks unceremoniously, and told me to go downstairs to the marketing department to get him a report, which he will use later.

It's not that Fang Jie can't take it, he just wants to order me around.

For the sake of the air humidifier, I obediently went downstairs to get him the report.

When I went to the marketing department, I ran into an "acquaintance" who was yesterday's ponytail.

Presumably that ponytail also recognized me, looked at me with a little embarrassment, nodded to me and left in a hurry.

The people in the marketing department printed out the report for me. Seeing that I was looking at the back of the ponytail all the time, they whispered: "Look at what she is doing, she is a woman who is crazy about money."

The marketing department is downstairs, and most of them have never met me before. They don't know that I am Huo Xiao's younger brother, and they may regard me as a clerk who runs errands upstairs, so they speak so unscrupulously.

I didn't intend to get involved in these gossips, so I could only smile, took the documents and prepared to go upstairs.

The person who printed the report for me stopped me and winked at me: "Don't go, brother, I heard that she went to Mr. Huo's office yesterday. Do you know what to order? Come and hear it?"

I was a little disgusted with his appearance, so I pulled my wrist out of his hand with a little force, and looked at him with a serious face: "It's not good to talk about this behind your back when you're a colleague? If you want to know, you might as well go upstairs Ask Mr. Huo?"

Sure enough, his expression changed, and he smiled embarrassingly: "It's just a joke, haha, go back to work."

I snorted coldly and walked out the door with the file folder. I saw the ponytail as soon as I left the office. I don’t know how much she listened to that conversation. To be honest, I was also embarrassed when I saw her, so I quickened my pace and wanted to leave.

"Wait," Ponytail chased up from behind, his eyes flickering: "I...my name is Xu Yiran, just now...thank you."

Thank you for what?I was puzzled, but I replied politely: "My name is Tan Weixue."

She smiled at me with some embarrassment, and gave me a business card from the plywood she held in her arms, her eyes wandered a little: "We all belong to the same company, so... Let's have a meal together when you have time."

I thought about it and told her honestly, "I might not have the time."

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but my cell phone rang suddenly. I took it out and saw that it was Huo Xiao. Picked up the phone: "Brother?"

Huo Xiao said very rudely over there: "I asked you to go downstairs and make a report for me. Have you planted trees and made paper?"

"Ah, I'll go up right away." Holding the phone, I waved the hand holding the folder to Xu Yiran, and walked towards the stairwell faster.

Just one floor away, waiting for the elevator is not as fast as climbing the stairs.

I took the folder to the office, and when I handed it to Huo Xiao, he picked up a piece of white paper from the folder, "What is this?"

I just found out that I had given Xu Yiran's business card to her, so I told him it was the business card of a colleague downstairs.

Huo Xiao frowned and looked at me, "Why do you want a colleague's business card?"

I blinked and looked at him innocently: "I didn't take what was given to me by others."

"Okay," Huo Xiao casually threw the business card into the trash can, "Go to the side and read a book."

I read a book again, I dared not speak out, went to the sofa and picked up "Decent Behavior and Acting Correctly" that I hadn't finished yesterday, and after holding back for a long time, I asked Huo Xiao: "Brother, did you also read this kind of book when you were young?" ?”

Huo Xiao looked up from the report and gave me a look of contempt, "I'm not you, why should I read it."

I:"……"
