"She's gone!" Tan Shilei gritted his teeth.

"What? Gone? Why didn't you keep her?" When Mrs. Tan heard this, she was so angry.

"She is already able to return to the city, so why would she be willing to stay for me?" Tan Shilei couldn't possibly tell Old Lady Tan the main reason why Huo Yuyu abandoned him.

"I knew this bitch was not a peaceful person. She is just a wild girl from the countryside. She wanted to marry your father because she was attracted by our family's wealth."

"Now that our family has fallen, she can't wait to kick us out when she gets the chance. Why doesn't lightning strike her to death from the sky?" Old Mrs. Tan beat her chest and stamped her feet.

"Okay, stop crying. She's living a good life now. Even if you cry your eyes out, she won't be able to see." Tan Shilei frowned in annoyance.

Not only did Old Mrs. Tan not stop, but she sat down on the ground, pounding the ground and crying.

"Oh my God, why is my life so miserable? My son was just taken away, and my daughter-in-law ran away, leaving me and my little grandson alone. How are we going to live in the future?"

This was a common tactic used by Old Lady Tan, but in the past she mostly used this trick to secure resources for Tan Shilei. But now, he just felt ashamed.

He didn't even try to pull Mrs. Tan away. Instead, he turned around and left without hesitation, leaving Mrs. Tan alone, crying and wailing.

…

In the car.

Huo Yuyu didn't say a word after getting in the car. Huo Jianguo's eyes fell on her from time to time, as if he had a lot to say, but he swallowed it all in the end.

When the car stopped in front of the train station, four people got off and there was no one else. Huo Jianguo couldn't help but ask.

"Little sister, is there something wrong between you and Lei'er?"

"Yes, I have severed all ties with him." Huo Yuyu nodded.

"What? Break off ties with the brothers? What on earth happened?" Huo Jianguo frowned.

"It's all in the past. Third brother, you must remember this in the future. Tan Shilei has nothing to do with me from now on. You should also tell your eldest brother and the others that if you meet Tan Shilei in the future, or if he comes to you, just treat him as a stranger and kick him out." When Huo Yu said this, his expression was unusually calm.

Huo Jianguo could see that these were not just words spoken in anger, but came from the bottom of his heart.

"Little sister..." Huo Jianguo wanted to ask for clarification, but Huo Yu interrupted him.

"Third brother, the two days in the mining area were almost the darkest time in my life. I don't want to talk about anything there anymore. Can you please stop asking?" Huo Yu's eyes were filled with pleading.

Huo Jianguo's heart trembled slightly. His little sister had always been strong, but now she was begging him with such eyes.

There must be something complicated between her and Tan Shilei, or maybe she has never told the truth from the beginning to the end.

"Dad, it's getting late. Let's go buy tickets first." Su Miaomiao noticed that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she spoke to ease the situation.

"Yes, let's go buy tickets first." Huo Minxue also responded quickly.

Huo Jianguo took a deep look at Huo Yuyu, but finally collected his thoughts and nodded slightly.

“…”

Huo Minxue waited in line for most of the day and bought all the tickets for four people.

He originally only wanted to buy sleeper tickets for Su Miaomiao and Huo Yuyu, but Su Miaomiao insisted on buying sleeper tickets for all four of them, and he had no choice but to buy them for all.

"Aunt, this is your ticket. You must keep it safe." Huo Minxue handed Huo Yuyu's ticket to her.
