The two of them kept silent.
When Gu Sisi received the news that Huo Xin was leaving, she was quite surprised.
Although Huo Xin had said that her return this time was on purpose, Gu Sisi never expected that she would leave so soon.
The Huo family didn't hold a grand farewell party. Instead, they simply had a meal together as usual.
Gu Sisi was naturally there too. Since Huo Xin would leave after this meal, almost everyone came. Even Huo Cheng put down his work and rushed over.
As soon as he arrived, Huo Cheng took off his suit. Only then did Gu Sisi notice the exquisitely wrapped box in his hand. A servant took the suit.
Huo Cheng sat beside Gu Sisi in a well - fitting vest and handed the box to Huo Xin.
She looked quite surprised. She took the gift with delight, covered her mouth and asked uncertainly, "Is this for me?"
"Keep it well," Huo Cheng replied simply and firmly.
Huo Xin didn't stand on ceremony anymore. Holding the gift, she giggled and said, "I knew Fourth Brother was good to me."
Huo Cheng hooked his lips into a smile but didn't say a word.
At this time, the eldest sister and the second brother also rushed over. Huo Xin was concentrating on unwrapping her gift and ignored them.
"Yo! Who sent this?" The eldest sister sat down, raising her head like a proud peacock. She glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and then looked away.
"I thought it was something really special!" Her tone was full of contempt.
By now, Huo Xin had completely unwrapped the gift box. It was a simple bracelet. She immediately put it on her wrist and looked at it with a smile.
The gold and silver bracelet made her fair skin look even more beautiful. Huo Xin was satisfied and accepted it.
Ignoring her eldest sister's sarcasm, she said happily, "Thank you, Fourth Brother."
"Tsk, you only have Fourth Brother in your eyes. I think apart from your Fourth Brother, you don't even care about the rest of us brothers and sisters."
"Little sister, you can't be so partial!" The second brother chimed in.
Huo Xin rolled her eyes and retorted, "I'm just thanking Fourth Brother for the gift. If you guys can give me gifts, I'll thank you too."
"..."
Seeing that they stopped talking, Huo Xin didn't bother to care anymore. She continued to chatter to her Fourth Brother. Soon, Father and Mother Huo came.
Seeing that Huo Xin was still talking, Mother Huo's face darkened. "Xin'er, hurry up and eat. It's time to get in the car. Don't always pester your Fourth Brother."
"I'm not! I'm leaving soon, aren't I?"
Huo Xin retorted, pouting in dissatisfaction.
Gu Sisi watched Huo Xin's clingy behavior. It was almost the same when she was with her. She couldn't help but smile secretly. It seemed that she was also lucky enough to receive the same treatment as Fourth Brother.
"Hey, we just told little sister something, but she just wouldn't listen," the second brother said in a bad mood.
"What did you say? What did you say to me?" Huo Xin retorted defiantly. "I just said a word of thanks, and you guys are like this. What's wrong? Fourth Brother gave me a gift, and I said thank you. What's wrong with that?"
The second brother was so angry that his face turned red. But there was nothing he could do to her.
His dark eyes drooped, and his hand under the table tightened into a fist. The veins on it bulged.
"Alright, alright. Stop arguing. Let's eat," Father Huo's deep voice interrupted them.
The tense atmosphere among them subsided, and they obediently picked up their chopsticks.
"Really, even the last meal during this period can't be peaceful," Huo Xin murmured in a low voice.
This sentence happened to reach everyone's ears. The second brother couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He stood up and said to her, "If you have something to say, don't hold it back."
Huo Xin didn't react. She just turned her head away indifferently.
"Sit down!" Father Huo roared with authority, looking unhappy.
He always thought his second son was a steady person. Why was he so impulsive today?
It seemed that he didn't really understand him.
The second brother also realized that his reaction was too extreme. He immediately sat down, lowering his head and burying himself in his food, trying his best to reduce his presence.
Just then, a voice came.
"As a matter of principle, I should come to see off the fifth sister."
The expressions of everyone at the table changed. The servant standing aside reported.
This voice was obviously... Everyone looked out.
A man in a wheelchair slowly appeared in front of them. And the one pushing the wheelchair was Dr. Yang, one of the private doctors of the Huo Mansion, whom they all knew.
Perhaps it had been a long time. Only then did the people at the table remember that Dr. Yang had been the exclusive doctor of the third young master of the Huo family for a long time.
On the scene, besides shock and confusion, there was also obvious fear on one person's face.
As soon as she saw this face, Gu Sisi was sure that the scene that day was completely real. Her face turned pale instantly. She was certain that this man was very dangerous.
It was the third young master of the Huo family who first broke the silence.
He said slowly. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him clearly, perhaps because of the tension.
"This time, little sister is leaving again. I prepared a gift and came here especially for it." After saying that, he handed the black box in his hand to Dr. Yang behind him. Dr. Yang took it calmly, walked to Huo Xin's side and placed it on the table in front of her.
Maybe it was the color or for some other reason, Huo Xin didn't dare to open it on the spot. She immediately forced a smile and said sweetly, "Thank you... Third Brother."
The way she called him sounded a bit awkward. In fact, since she could remember, she hadn't seen her third brother very often, nor had she called him much.
The third young master of the Huo family nodded and said indifferently, "Well, since my purpose is achieved, I should go."
After saying that, Dr. Yang turned the wheelchair. The third young master of the Huo family sat in it, looking as if he was powerless.
Father and Mother Huo were a bit worried. After all, he was their child.
"An'er, wait. Have dinner before you leave," Mother Huo said hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
The wheelchair stopped. Everyone held their breath and waited for his reply.
Huo An turned his face slightly. The sunlight came in from outside, and one could even see the fluff on his face. He hooked his lips into a smile, which looked a bit pale in the sunlight.
"No need. Maybe the food here doesn't suit my taste," he said in a flat tone, seemingly indifferent to this long - awaited concern.
Everyone watched as the suddenly appeared person disappeared from their sight again.
The scene became quiet again. At this moment, everyone was thinking about different things.
Father Huo put his hand on Mother Huo's back. Mother Huo was still looking at the direction where Huo An left. She let out a bitter smile. Father Huo patted her gently to comfort her.
After the meal, Huo Xin stood outside the door, carrying a few small boxes. The driver was waiting outside. She showed a bright smile and said to Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi, who came out especially to see her off, "Goodbye. I'm running out of time. You guys go in quickly too!"
"Work hard usually," Huo Cheng instructed.
Huo Xin nodded helplessly. Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly turned back, ran back, and whispered in Gu Sisi's ear, "If he bullies you in the future, tell me. I'll definitely avenge you."
Gu Sisi was a bit stunned when she saw Huo Xin running back. Hearing her confident tone, she laughed.
"Okay. I'll count on you in the future."
