At noon, I had a meal with my father.

It is a very high-end western restaurant with exquisite decoration. There are several tables of guests sitting in twos and threes. My father took me to a seat by the window and asked the waiter next to me for the menu.

He asked me what I would like to eat. I was afraid that I would make the mistake of eating shark fin in Huo Xiao's office last time, so I said that I would eat anything, and he would just have some.

After my father ordered the dishes, he took a sip of the lemonade on the table and asked me how I was doing at Huo Xiao's place, and if I was still used to life here.

He said, "Huo Xiao sometimes has a bad temper."

I don't know how to answer him, tell him have I been beaten by Huo Xiao?

Forget it, I'm afraid he will ask me why Huo Xiao beat me, maybe he will say that Huo Xiao beat me for my own good, and let me not care about it.

I sighed quietly and told him that I had a good time with Huo Xiao and learned a lot.

"Hmm..." Father pondered for a moment, and knocked his knuckles on the table twice unconsciously, "Then do you want to move back? I'll ask the servant to tidy up the guest room on the third floor for you to use as a bedroom."

After a pause, he continued: "There are not enough rooms at home, after all, you still have two younger sisters."

I wasn't sure whether he welcomed me home or didn't want me to go home, but I really didn't want to go back, so I said, "No, I... want to learn more from my brother."

Ghosts are willing to learn things from Huo Xiao. He basically doesn't care about me, he wants me to read books by myself, and he will do spot checks. If I can't learn well, he will yell at me.

But it's better to live with Huo Xiao than to go home.

There are unfamiliar family members on the left and right, and they are the same everywhere. No matter how difficult Huo Xiao is, he is only one person, and he has to deal with four people when he returns home.

Of course, it is more comfortable to live with Huo Xiao.

My father was very satisfied with my answer. He took a sip of the lemonade on the table, cleared his throat, and told me: "I'm glad you can say that. Your elder brother is very good. Now you can learn from him. Maybe you can help me manage the company in the future. As for the home, I will let someone tidy up a guest room for you to use as your bedroom, and you can come back to live in it whenever you want. "

I smiled and really didn't know what to say, so I could only say thank you.

I was really uncomfortable after eating this meal. After the meal, my father called and asked my mother to take me to buy clothes.

I don't know what was said over there, and my father frowned: "Didn't it be agreed this morning, why are you going to have a beauty treatment again?"

A few more words were said over there, and the voice was a bit loud. I could hear the faint voice, but I couldn't make out what was said.

"Okay," the father said helplessly, "I'll ask the secretary to take him there."

I probably knew what was going on, and when he hung up the phone, I told him not to bother, Huo Xiao asked someone to order a lot of clothes for me.

Thinking of the closet full of clothes, I was still a little helpless, and added: "There are so many, I can't wear them all."

Although I voluntarily asked not to go, my father was still a little embarrassed. He explained to me: "Your mother said that the beautician was very difficult to make appointments. Today, there was a customer who couldn't go because of business, so she went."

Is there any beauty treatment more important than seeing your own son?

I was a little confused, but I didn't say it.

I followed my father to the hotel where the venue was going to be arranged. In fact, this kind of thing can be left to the dedicated staff. However, the old man’s birthday is a big event, and there is no room for omissions. It is not enough to have a son, and the grandson should also be called come over.

I scoff at this waste of time and manpower, but I dare not express my opinion.

The layout of the hotel is very large. My father and I got out of the elevator and walked a long way to find Huo Xiao. He was standing under the ladder, directing the staff above to hang a ribbon on a crystal lamp.

I followed my father and he nodded to my father lukewarmly: "Third Uncle."

"Well," my father's attitude was much warmer, and he patted Huo Xiao's shoulder, "Have you eaten yet? I'll watch over here, you go and have a rest."

"it is good."

Huo Xiao glanced at me, and took the lead to walk in the direction of the elevator.

I couldn't help much by staying in the hotel, so I greeted my father and caught up with Huo Xiao.

I really want to talk to someone, even Huo Xiao is fine.

I quickly caught up with him and followed him, a little out of breath, and I said, "My mom doesn't want to take me there, she's gone for a beauty treatment."

I'm not a fool, didn't she make it clear that she didn't want to see me or take me shopping for clothes when she went to have a beauty treatment at this time.

She doesn't have to be like this, I'm not a scourge, I won't eat her.

Even though she has not expected her family for a long time, I still feel a little sad for her to treat me like this.

Fortunately, I still pretended to be affectionate, thinking that I would not go home and let Huo Xiao pick me up at night, but in the end, he didn't want to see me at all.

Thinking of this, my eyes felt a little sore, so I stopped, stood where I was and blinked.

Huo Xiao also stopped.

He turned to look at me with no expression on his face, he stared at me for a moment as if wondering if I was going to cry.

Of course I don't cry, but when my nose is sour, tears will fall out. This is the physiological instinct of human beings. I really don't want to cry.

My eyes were blurred, I blinked my eyes hard, trying to hold back the tears, but in the blink of an eye, new tears fell, which made my face wet a lot.

Huo Xiao was still standing in front of me, I felt ashamed, I shouldn't have followed him out just now.

Sure enough, Huo Xiao frowned, walked up to me and pinched my face, with a serious tone: "Why are you crying?"

I was crying, choked up, and refuted him unconvincingly: "I didn't cry—"

After I finished speaking, I even hiccupped.

Even less convincing.

My face was pinched by Huo Xiao, and I could feel his hands getting stronger and stronger.I knew that I must be in a mess and embarrassment now, so I closed my eyes somewhat evasively.

"What are you crying for?" Huo Xiao pinched my face and asked me mockingly, "Do you know what you look like now?"

He chuckled, "Like a dog that can't get food."

My lips trembled slightly, and I opened my eyes to look at him.

Huo Xiao was also looking at me, his eyes returned to the time when we first had a conflict, indifferent and superior, as if I was some kind of trash.

He exerted strength in his hands and pulled my face in front of him. He was taller than me, and he lowered his head slightly when looking at me.

He just lowered his head, and with an unceremonious and pitiful tone, he crushed the vain expectations in my heart to pieces.

"You don't really think they'll love you, do you? You're wrong. If grandpa didn't rush them to have a boy, they wouldn't even want to look at you."

"If you behaved better, they might like you a little more. Otherwise, do you think they would like a wild and unreasonable child?"

"Why are you crying in front of me, wanting me to take pity on you?"

Huo Xiao rarely talked to me so much, but I have to say that every word he said made sense.

Listening to what he said, I slowly calmed down, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and pulled his hand off my chin.

I guess my chin must be red again because it really hurts.I sniffed, lowered my head not to look at the expression on Huo Xiao's face, and still spoke with a nasal tone: "You're right, I'm sorry."

Huo Xiao hummed, "Look up, look at me."

I took two steps back with some resistance, raised my sleeves and wiped my face vigorously. The cloth of the sleeves was a bit thick, and the rubbing made my face burn.

Huo Xiao took two steps forward, reached out and raised my chin, "Look at me."

I didn't want to look at him, so I stared at his well-defined chin and thin lips, pretending to be looking at him.

I was even a little distracted thinking that it is true that people with thin lips are mean.

"Huo Chun," Huo Xiao spoke again, spreading his warm breath on my face, "I ask you, will you still cry in the future?"

I sniffed and shook my head.

Huo Xiao let go of my chin, touched the end of my eyes lightly with his thumb, and the words he said were still ugly: "It's better to be like this, you have to remember, you are not qualified to cry in this family, even if you cry No one will pity you because of it."

Isn't it, I nodded in my heart, aren't you just an example.

Huo Xiao's attitude seemed to pour a bucket of ice water on my head, which made me wake up completely.

He reminded me that here, I am not liked, not loved.
