Chapter 193, Beichen Huo Family
The Huo family is now in power at Beichen Base. Speaking of the Huo family, Jiang Ran couldn't help but think of Si Xu's life experience that Wei Ya Ge had mentioned.
Huo Zhiju, the eldest daughter of the Beichen Huo family, got pregnant before marriage. The child was not recognized by the Huo family, so she had to ask her good friend Jiang Yize to take the child away.
Pei Xiao and Si Xu's biological mother, Huo Zhiju, was from the Beichen Huo family.
The young man leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Ran considerately slowed down the car, carefully avoided the debris on the ground, and tried not to disturb him.
Beichen Huo family.
The strange woman stood in front of him, her eyes slightly red, and kept saying sorry.
She was born very beautiful, and at first glance she was breathtakingly stunning. When tears filled her peach blossom eyes, they looked more like broken porcelain, making it hard to blame her.
She apologized to him on behalf of her son, hoping he could forgive Pei Xiao's recklessness. She apologized to him on her own behalf, hoping he could forgive her for abandoning her...
She sobbed quietly and kept saying sorry.
But the moment he heard footsteps in the corridor, he stopped all sounds.
It was also at that moment that the words he was about to say, whether forgiveness or blame, lost their meaning.
He pretended not to understand what she meant and resolutely sent the guest away.
She saw his anger and stopped disturbing him, leaving with tears in her eyes.
The Pei family stayed at the Xiling base for fifteen days, and he only met her once.
That meeting was not for him, but just to clear her own conscience.
As a mother, she never loved him at all.
"The day I left Xiling Base with my family, I was standing on the city wall and saw Huo Zhiju and Pei Xiao talking."
The young man, who was beaten black and blue by him, said something that made the woman laugh gently.
That woman has a gentle smile.
But she never smiled at him.
When she looked at him, she felt nothing but guilt, forbearance and fear.
It turns out that she can smile. When facing her son, she shows the happy face of a mother.
"Pei Wan'er's appearance at the Xiling base is thanks to that Ms. Huo. That idiot Pei Xiao keeps bothering me, yet he never considers who the real murderer of Pei Wan'er is."
"Ah." Jiang Ran, who had been listening to him silently, opened her mouth slightly in surprise and uttered a single sound, "Did Madam Pei do it?"
Si Xu was silent.
Jiang Ran was even more surprised: "Isn't Wan'er the daughter of the Pei family?"
"She is Pei Qing's illegitimate daughter."
"Oh." She remembered that Su Qin had also mentioned this - Pei Wan'er and Pei Xiao had the same father but different mothers, so they had no blood relationship with Si Xu.
Si Xu meant that in order to take revenge on her husband and her love rival, the woman sent her husband's illegitimate daughter to the Xiling Laboratory?
Tsk, what a ruthless person.
"You see, Pei Xiao is just an idiot." Si Xu made a summary speech.
Jiang Ran: "..." Aren't you talking about Madam Pei? Why is the final conclusion a personal attack on Pei Xiao?
Jiang Ran didn't agree with him and defended Pei Xiao: "Captain Pei is a good man - you see, growing up in such a scheming family, he can still maintain his original intention, which is not easy."
Si Xu finally opened his eyes, his peach blossom eyes clear and cold as he looked at her.
Jiang Ran realized it later: "Of course, he is really stupid to slander you without any distinction."
Si Xu retracted his gaze, looked out the window, and snorted: "You don't have to deliberately agree with me just to make me happy."
You act like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
Jiang Ran secretly complained, thinking that he was now just a straight man who was trying hard to make his girlfriend happy.
A strong desire to survive forced her to continue: "Not really, but you are right. I think you are right no matter what you say. After all, I like you the most."
Like it so much that I have no principles.
Si Xu still looked out the window, his lips curled up silently: "Jiang Ran, in the world you live in, are there many people who like you?"
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and Jiang Ran exploded: "No way! You are my first love! But you have a bunch of fangirls chasing after you, making me surrounded by rivals!"
Feeling guilty, Si Xu coughed guiltily and emphasized: "In my eyes, those people are just zombies with brains. I only like you."
Jiang Ran couldn't help but feel a little proud now that he was the guest, but he didn't show it on his face: "Humph, now it's just you and me, you will definitely say that..."
Si Xu frowned: "Jiang Ran, when did you last have your period?"
Isn't this a quick change of topic? Jiang Ran was puzzled: "At the end of last month, what happened?"
"Nothing." Si Xu leaned against the window and tilted his head to look at her. "Just asking."
Jiang Ran: "..."Oh, is he disgusted with her bad temper?
The little girl pouted and stepped on the accelerator again as if to vent her anger.
Si Xu chuckled and pinched her face: "Watch the road, I'm really afraid you'll fly out when you brake."
Jiang Ran bit his hand with her cheek turned.
The man quickly withdrew his hand and snorted: "Jiang Ran, you are a puppy..."
Jiang Ran replied: "You are a dog boyfriend."
Si Xu: "..." For a moment he couldn't tell whether she was scolding him or scolding himself.
…
At noon, the two stopped at a toll station on the side of the road to refuel the car and take a short rest.
Jiang Ran munched on some bread, missing the small kitchen in her apartment. "Si Xu, you said, we left this time and didn't say whether we'd come back or not. Those people at the base won't just assign your apartment to someone else, right?"
She has a lot of stuff in there.
Si Xu: "Whatever, it's nothing important anyway."
"Why don't you ask me if I have any?"
Hearing the girl's angry question, Si Xu said seriously: "Isn't I the most important to you?"
Jiang Ran: "..." How do I refute this?
Jiang Ran had just finished eating bread and was stretching his arms and legs when a white van drove up from a distance, rushed directly in front of the two of them, and stopped abruptly.
The backseat door was opened, and the woman leaned out half of her body and looked at the two people: "Where are you going?"
The woman who asked the question looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants. She had no makeup on, but her face was delicate and there was a sharpness hidden between her eyebrows.
When asking questions, his tone was apparently casual, but it made people feel an invisible pressure for no reason, almost suffocating them.
Jiang Ran frowned and looked at her directly: "We are going to Beichen Base."
"Going to Beichen?" the woman asked in surprise. "Isn't this place closer to the Xiling base? What are you doing in Beichen?"
"We came from Xiling Base." Jiang Ran said, "We want to go to Beichen Base to take a look."
"Huh?" The woman raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtful. "A lot of people have been coming out of Xiling Base lately."
Before Jiang Ran could ponder the meaning of this, the woman jumped out of the car, took off her black gloves, and extended her hand: "Hello, I'm Huo Lingyin, the leader of the first brigade of Beichen Base. It's our first meeting, please give me your guidance."
The person in charge of the first brigade of Beichen Base?
Jiang Ran said obediently, "Hello." She gently shook the woman's hand and said honestly, "I didn't expect that the captain of the first brigade of Beichen Base would be a girl."
It’s not that she looks down on girls, but even if they both awaken their special powers, men’s physiques will be much stronger than women’s. Unless a girl is truly gifted, it will be difficult for her to stand out among a group of men.
The first brigade of the base's special ability team, how many people have to fight and get in, not to mention the position of captain.
"You're so awesome." Jiang Ran praised sincerely.
But, Huo Lingyin? Could she be the daughter of the Beichen Huo family?
