“Little girl, we’re not bad people . You can sell the watch in the city and live a better life . ”
Huo Mian thought that a teenager could understand .
“No, my grandma said that we can’t take stuff from other people . ”
“It’s for you cooking corn paste for us, is that okay?” Huo Mian softly said to the girl .
“The corn paste isn’t worth much . We have a lot of corn . Grandma and I grinded a lot of corn flour, it’s enough to last us through the winter . ”
The girl pointed to a dark corner in the kitchen where a few bags of corn flour were .
Huo Mian’s heart ached…
“You’re still growing, you can’t just eat this . ”
“It’s fine, I’m used to it . ”
Huo Siqian and Su Yu both felt pity when they heard that, as they remained silent .
“Okay, we know you mean well . We won’t force you to take it . ”
Huo Mian shot Su Yu a look and made him take it back .
“Why don’t you eat with us?” Huo Mian invited her .
The girl shook her head, pointed at the other shed and said, “You guys eat, I’m going to accompany my grandma . ”
Then, she went to her grandma’s shed .
Huo Mian looked at Su Yu and said, “When we go back, I’ll send someone to take them away to somewhere better . The girl can start going to school . It’s just too sad that they have nobody to rely on . ”
“Mhm, I agree . Even I felt heartache for them . ”
Su Yu put away his watch and agreed with Huo Mian .
The three began drinking the shabby looking corn paste .
The three were starving and ate like wolves .
Huo Siqian and Su Yu both ate a little and pushed their bowls to Huo Mian .
“You guys eat, I don’t have much of an appetite . I wouldn’t eat if it wasn’t for the baby . ”
Huo Mian really didn’t feel like it, as she didn’t know what was happening with Lu Yan and Qin Chu .
After dinner, when it was time for rest, the little girl brought them two old blankets . That seemed to be all she had .
“Su Yu, go to sleep in the car and guard us . ”
“What about you?”
“I’m obviously going to accompany Mian in here . ”
“In your dreams… I’ll never give you a chance to hurt Mian . You go in the car . ” Su Yu and Huo Siqian began arguing again .
“Stop fighting, both of you go out . ”
Huo Mian’s words calmed the building tension .
“Okay, I agree,” hearing Huo Mian say that made Su Yu agree, as he was scared of Huo Siqian trying something with Huo Mian .
“Pff… You’re still so cruel . I haven’t seen you in so long, can’t we at least talk about the old times?”
Huo Siqian looked at Huo Mian gently with his eyes curved up like he was smiling .
“I’m not in the mood to do that, but I am willing to hear more about Leila . ”
“Nevermind . ”
Hearing Huo Mian bring up Leila made Huo Siqian frown .
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to reveal information about Leila .
Huo Siqian’s memories of her were all bad, and he was afraid that Jack would come out at an emotional moment . That’d be counterproductive .
So, Huo Siqian didn’t say anything and followed Su Yu out into the car .
“Can we escape? Why do I feel like this is too easy… Is this a trap you and that psycho girl set for us?”
Su Yu sat in the passenger seat and asked Huo Siqian with a glare .
“You have such an imagination . You’d be better suited as an author, not as an entertainment company CEO . ” Huo Siqian smiled .
“Don’t you feel like our escape has been too easy?” Su Yu still felt that something was off .
