When Gu Wan walked into the Huo family's guest room and saw Xi Xi sleeping soundly on the bed, tears fell instantly. She couldn't help lowering her head and kissed Xi Xi's forehead again and again.
Jing Li stood nearby and watched her reaction quietly. After a long time, she finally asked: "So, why did Zhao Xi call someone to arrest Xi Xi?"
Gu Wan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, paused for a moment, and finally said: "I promised you that I would protect you and Xi Xi, but I didn't do it well, and I made you and Xi Xi suffer... I
I didn’t want this to go on. This kind of thing can happen the first time, but it can’t happen the second time... so I asked him to separate..."
When Jing Li heard this, she couldn't help but stare slightly.
"He was very angry and drank too much, so he asked someone to take Xi Xi away and wanted to force me to submit..."
Jing Li couldn't help but sit by the bed and asked again: "Why? Why did you two want to get married? You obviously have no feelings for him, and he doesn't treat you well... What does he want from you?"
Gu Wan turned to look at her, and after a moment, she finally spoke in a low voice: "What he wants is a stable marriage, a family that makes his grandparents feel relieved and satisfied..."
Jing Li looked at her quietly, "Are you the one who makes his grandparents feel relieved and satisfied?"
Gu Wan nodded slowly, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then said: "I met his grandparents first, and then I met him. He came to pursue me to please his grandparents...
…I know what he wants, and he knows what I want, so we reached an agreement. But now, he broke the agreement first, so I don’t plan to continue.”
Jing Li originally thought that Zhao Xi was the dominant person in the marriage between Gu Wan and Zhao Xi, but she didn't expect that Gu Wan also had the initiative. In this case, no wonder Zhao Xi would be angered.
"But now, how are you going to solve it?" Jing Li asked, "If Zhao Xi is angered like this, what if he does something again..."
"He doesn't dare anymore." Gu Wan shook her head gently, "I heard that Mr. Huo personally called the Zhao family today and also called grandpa. Grandpa was furious. Zhao Xi is probably too busy to take care of himself now.
Already..."
After Jing Li heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head and look at her hands.
The touch of Huo Qiran's hold on her before was still there.
For a moment, she actually felt lucky to be reunited with Huo Qiran, lucky to have every moment with him, lucky to be with him every moment...
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been in a situation at this moment...
She was a little distracted, and Gu Wan spoke again: "I will find a way to handle this matter. I have been selfish once, and I can't let you and Xi Xi suffer anymore... You and Xi Xi wait for me for a while longer,
Once this matter is dealt with, we can return to a peaceful life..."
…
Gu Wan didn't stay at Huo's house for too long. She didn't even wait for Xi Xi to wake up before she left Huo's house and went back to Zhao's house.
Jing Li didn't know what was waiting for her over there, but she could only pray for her, hoping that everything would end well.
In the evening, when Huo Jinxi came home, Jing Li formally thanked him.
At that time, everyone was sitting at the supper table. Huo Jinxi listened to Jing Li's solemn thank you, glanced at his son, and said, "Whoever asks me to do something, I just say thank you. As for the incident itself, it's just...
It’s just a matter of effort.”
After hearing this, Huo Qiran obediently delivered a bowl of hot porridge to his father, smiled and said to Jing Li, "I told you this is my business, you don't have to take it to heart."
Huo Jinxi picked up the bowl in front of him and asked, "Just a bowl of white porridge?"
Mu Qian was beside her, fanning the flames, "If this father is worthy, he is only worth a bowl of white porridge."
Huo Qiran thought for a while and said, "Just think of it as repaying what you owe me."
Huo Jinxi narrowed his eyes, "What do I owe you?"
"When I was young, before my mother came back." Huo Qiran said, "You owed me."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi raised his hand to hit him.
Huo Qiran jumped up quickly, smiled and pulled Jingli to run upstairs.
Huo Jinxi looked at the two figures running upstairs, turned around and looked at Mu Qian, "So, it's this girl?"
Mu Qian shrugged and said, "Don't ask me, it's not up to the mother to grow up. If you want to know, ask your own son."
Huo Jinxi also shrugged, "Leave it to him, it's not our business anyway."
…
Jing Li was pulled upstairs by Huo Qiran. She couldn't help but gasp slightly and glanced downstairs again, saying, "Your father is different from the legend."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "That's not true. After all, my dad used to be like that in the legend."
Jing Li couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, "Why did that change?"
"It's because of my mother." Huo Qiran said, "My mother was the only one who could cure him."
