Although he had some guesses, Huo Xiao subconsciously stopped himself from thinking about it every time the thought arose.

Subconsciously, he resisted thinking about it and didn't want to face it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed something was wrong with his mother so many times, yet never bothered to investigate further.

Ye Weiwei rested her head on Huo Xiao's shoulder. "Actually, if you don't want to change the status quo, you don't need to care at all. Even if you have another biological father, if you don't want to acknowledge him, no one can force you. If you want to acknowledge him, just treat him as an elder relative you have to visit. After all, you're already so old, you've started a family and have children."

Although it might be a bit unfair to Grandpa Qin to say this, she and Huo Xiao are a married couple, so of course she has to consider Huo Xiao's feelings first.

Huo Xiao remained silent.

He knew his wife was trying to comfort him, and he also knew that once the truth was out, things wouldn't be so simple.

Ye Weiwei: "Don't give Mom that cold look tomorrow. It wasn't easy for her to raise you. She's like a son to you, even though you're not her biological child. She's done all this for you because of the bond she had with your biological mother. It's truly admirable. To be honest, if I were her, I wouldn't give such a good son to someone else!"

It is said that you only know the kindness of your parents when you raise children, and she has truly understood this since becoming a mother.

Raising a newborn baby to adulthood is no easy task. Moreover, Liu Guilan, the mother-in-law, has devoted even more effort to her son Huo Xiao than to her own two sons, which is truly admirable.

Huo Xiao asked in a muffled voice, "Where did I give you a cold look?"

Ye Weiwei chuckled twice, "Don't you know how you act in front of our mother on ordinary days and how you act in front of us tonight? Our mother is so sad tonight, and instead of keeping her company and comforting her, you're hiding in your room by yourself. She may not say it, but she must be feeling really bad inside."

Huo Xiao said sullenly, "Isn't that... that I'm not upset? You only know how to comfort Mom, but you don't know how to comfort me."

Ye Weiwei deliberately said bluntly, "What's there to comfort you about? You just got a biological father for free!"

Huo Xiao gritted his teeth in anger: "Ye Weiwei!"

What does it mean to have a biological father who comes along for free?

He talks like he got some huge advantage!

Seeing that he was getting angry, Ye Weiwei quickly soothed him gently, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore! I was just kidding, calm down, calm down."

Huo Xiao snorted coldly.

Ye Weiwei suddenly sighed, "I went to see Grandpa Qin off today. He was so lost and didn't say a word the whole way, like he'd lost his soul. I didn't dare let go of him until we got him to the corner, and then he came to his senses and wanted to walk by himself. I was worried, so I secretly followed behind. I saw him fall four times on the way back. I don't know how he is now."

Huo Xiao snorted coldly again: "He asked for it!"

He heard everything his mother and his wife said tonight. If he hadn't been so incompetent back then and failed to protect his wife, none of this would have happened.

Ye Weiwei sighed, "Yes, to be honest, he brought it on himself. No matter what the reason was back then, he should have been guilty for not protecting his wife and child! I'm not speaking up for him, but when I think about what has happened around me and what my parents went through, I feel that you should at least give him a chance to explain, at least to find out what really happened back then. After all, the grievances your biological mother suffered cannot be ignored, we have to get revenge! I think Mom was willing to talk about what happened back then because she had this intention."

Huo Xiao hugged Ye Weiwei tightly, and after a while, he said softly, "I understand."

Ye Weiwei snuggled against him, "No matter what happens, I'll face it with you."

"Mmm." Huo Xiao hugged the person in his arms even tighter. "Wife, you're so good to me."

Ye Weiwei: "Then you'd better remember this well, be extra good to me and our child. If you dare to do anything to betray me and the child, I'll personally cripple you!"

Huo Xiao: ...

"Who do you think you are, old lady? Huh? You're getting wild! Let me teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, he started tearing at Ye Weiwei's clothes with his large hands.

Ye Weiwei retorted defiantly, "Come on, who's afraid of who!"

"Hmph! You'd better stay tough like this and don't beg for mercy later!"

...

Liu Guilan couldn't sleep and felt her throat was a little dry, so she got up to get some water. She heard noises coming from Huo Xiao and Ye Weiwei's room, and her old face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She quickly picked up the thermos on the ground and went back to her room, closing the door tightly.

This young man has great stamina; he's still pushing himself to the limit at this hour.

After several intense battles, Ye Weiwei unsurprisingly overslept the next day.

When Ye Weiwei woke up, she found that the children were not around. In the yard, her mother-in-law, Liu Guilan, was washing diapers and talking to Huo Xiao. Seeing that the two of them were getting along just like before, Ye Weiwei felt relieved.

It seems that Huo Xiao took her words to heart last night.

When Ye Weiwei got up, Liu Guilan hurriedly told her to eat breakfast, which was still warm in the pot.

After Ye Weiwei finished breakfast, Liu Guilan took out a small box for Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao.

Seeing their confusion, she said, "These are things that Miss left behind. I secretly hid them, and now I'm handing them over to you."

Ye Weiwei opened it out of curiosity and was stunned.

The box contained dozens of small yellow croakers, two packets of silver coins, and a small box of pearls.

"this……"

She thought it was just a few items left by Huo Xiao's biological mother, something for them to remember her by. Who would have thought it would be these?

Huo Xiao's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Mom, with so much stuff in the house, why didn't you..."

Back then, Liu Guilan suffered a miscarriage and was harmed by the people there. She was sick for many years. He remembered that when he was a child, his family was always poor and they didn't have money to buy medicine, so he just endured it.

Liu Guilan knew what Huo Xiao was about to say, and interrupted him with a smile, "This is what Miss left for you. I know what you want to say. Miss also left something for me back then, but it was all used up to treat my illness. If it weren't for Miss's help, I would have died long ago."

"Mom!" Huo Xiao was so angry he didn't know what to say. "How could you be so stupid!"

Money can be earned back, but what if a person is gone?

Liu Guilan was very stubborn in this regard. "When I was a child, my mother didn't have milk when I was born. If it weren't for the kindness of the master and mistress, I wouldn't have survived. I've been with Miss since I was little. Miss has always been very good to me. She always thinks of me when she has something good. Compared with other servants, I'm not like a maid at all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm half a mistress in the mansion."

"The young lady entrusted you to me, which means she trusts me and values ​​me. How could I let her down! Besides, my illness was cured thanks to the money you sent back when you were in the army. I owe you and the young lady so much."
