Gu Sisi saw the eldest sister's face flash with panic for the first time.
It was just a split - second, and soon she adjusted her expression.
"You've formed an alliance?" The eldest sister squinted her eyes, with sarcasm oozing from the corners of her eyes and mouth, as if she were looking at a huge joke.
The other two, who clearly showed their brotherly resemblance, remained calm and cold - faced, as if they were just listening to an ordinary matter.
Soon, the eldest sister also composed herself, and a look of hatred appeared on her face.
"Fine. Since you want this child?" The eldest sister lifted up the child, who was still wrapped in a blanket, "As long as you dare to move against me, then..."
As the eldest sister lifted the child, Gu Sisi, whose eyes had been fixed on the baby, held her breath and looked up, her eyes full of panic.
"What do you want?" Huo Zhen changed his stance and stared down at her, as if trying to fathom her purpose.
"I want him to pay for what he did before!" The eldest sister turned around, her face contorted with hatred as she looked at Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi behind him.
Huo Cheng subtly blocked Gu Sisi again and gave a soft laugh: "Tell me, what price?"
"Get out of my way first!" The eldest sister glared at them.
There was a moment of silence all around. Then, Huo Cheng gently shook his head and looked at the eldest sister with a calm gaze: "I can't do that!"
This answer was completely unexpected to the eldest sister.
She was shocked for a moment, but then her anger intensified: "Well, since that's the case, then this child..."
The eldest sister lifted the child up high again and stared intently at Huo Cheng, letting her words trail off.
"Don't you think about the consequences of what you're doing?" Huo Cheng still had a calm expression, showing no sign of panic.
This stand - off made the eldest sister even more ashamed and angry. Why could he be so calm?
"Fine. I'll just see what the consequences are!" In just a few seconds, both her actions and words took place.
The child was lifted high and then thrown down. Gu Sisi suddenly burst out with all her strength, pushed past Huo Cheng, and reached straight for the child. Huo Cheng hesitated for a second, then moved even faster to catch them both. But unexpectedly, a flash of light appeared.
Huo Cheng glanced over and saw that the eldest sister had taken out a knife and was lunging towards Gu Sisi.
In that split - second, Huo Cheng quickly retracted his movement and rushed to the other side to stop her.
After all the actions had ended, with a "bang", the knife fell to the ground.
Gu Sisi hugged the child in horror. Looking at the baby staring blankly at her with wide - open eyes, she pulled the child into her arms and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, it's mommy who made baby suffer." Her voice was already choked with sobs. Meanwhile, Huo Cheng had already grabbed the eldest sister from behind.
The eldest sister struggled fiercely with a ferocious look on her face: "Let me go!"
Of course, the most unexpected person was Huo Zhen. He actually rushed forward at the critical moment.
Gu Sisi, who was gradually calming down, suddenly remembered Huo Zhen's actions at that critical moment.
She stood up with the child in her arms. Perhaps the baby was brave, for he didn't seem to realize what had happened and stayed quiet without crying.
"Are you okay?" Gu Sisi asked worriedly.
She clearly saw that in those few seconds, Huo Zhen suddenly appeared in front of her and kicked the knife away, thus saving them from danger.
The scene in her mind was like a movie playing. Gu Sisi quickly turned her head to check the knife on the ground, but there was nothing on it.
Did I see it wrong?
This doubt was clearly written on Gu Sisi's face.
She was sure that she had seen the knife turn in the eldest sister's hand and then stab towards Huo Zhen's leg, even piercing into it.
But now?
Huo Cheng had picked up the knife. Although the eldest sister, who had lost her weapon and freedom, seemed calm, her trembling body still revealed her panic.
"Just tell me what you're going to do. Give me a quick death if you want."
"Sister, what do you think I'll do to you?" Huo Cheng counter - questioned.
The eldest sister snorted coldly and turned her face away: "Now you've won. You can do whatever you want to me. I've fallen, and I'll accept the result."
But suddenly, Huo Cheng let go of the eldest sister, shrugged, and said: "You can go!"
There wasn't a trace of intention to pursue the matter in his tone.
"Are you serious?" The eldest sister frowned tightly, clearly extremely confused.
Huo Cheng walked directly to Gu Sisi's side, moving further away from the eldest sister. He put his arm around Gu Sisi's shoulder, and with a cold face, he took the child and Sisi into the elevator.
This time, it wasn't about letting the eldest sister leave, but they were the ones who were leaving.
Huo Zhen also followed closely behind them. After they all left, only the eldest sister and the knife beside her were left there.
The three of them, along with the child in Gu Sisi's arms, got off the elevator. Along the way, Gu Sisi still couldn't help but glance uncertainly at Huo Zhen's leg.
When they reached the first floor, Huo Cheng walked in front, Gu Sisi followed closely, and Huo Zhen was at the back.
"If you're curious about why I'm not injured, I can tell you..." Just as Gu Sisi was lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from beside her.
Soon, the person left. She looked at Huo Zhen's back and then at the place where he should have been injured, full of thoughts.
The people were ushered into the car by Huo Cheng. As they held the child, they finally left as they wished.
This short - lived alliance also came to an end with the finding of the child.
Suddenly, Huo Cheng's phone dinged with a text message. He glanced at it and put it aside, then continued to look seriously ahead.
He said to Gu Sisi, who was holding the baby beside him and staring intently at the child's face: "The Huo family said that the baby can stay with us for two more days until we celebrate the baby's 100 - day birthday."
"Ah?" Gu Sisi's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's great!"
Then Gu Sisi first smiled and then looked sad. Their demands were really too low. Just because their child could stay with them for two more days, they were overjoyed.
"Let's hold a birthday banquet!"
Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng beside her in surprise, who had a calm expression on his face.
The efficiency was very high, even though it was just a decision made the previous day.
The last banquet at the Huo mansion had an accident and left a regret.
This time, the people entering were strictly screened. There were no blind spots for surveillance in the hall, and many bodyguards were guarding the entrance, checking very strictly.
Jiang Lihao was a bit surprised when he saw the people in the hall. He walked slowly towards Huo Cheng with a glass of wine in his hand and whispered: "Brother Huo, why do you insist that I come to this?"
He had just gotten off work. When he saw so many people in the hall and was about to leave, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
"Master Huo said you must be here!" The guard emphasized.
Even if he didn't come, he would definitely give them a big red envelope.
Since Brother Huo had emphasized it so much, but when he tried to ask for details, Jiang Lihao couldn't get any answers. So he had no choice but to sneak in and ask Brother Huo.
