Chapter 55: Enlightenment
Huo Xiang didn't know why Li Weiwei wanted to abort the child. Since it was a mutual consent, he guessed that she was either worried that both families would not accept it, or she didn't want it, or the man didn't know about it and she didn't want him to know.
So unless Weiwei firmly doesn't want it, other problems are not a problem.
Li Weiwei's mind was actually in a mess at this time, but she keenly caught an explosive piece of information: "Brother Huo, you and brother..."
Huo Xiang smiled and nodded.
Li Weiwei burst into tears of joy: "Great, that's great!"
Li Guixun was preoccupied with something else and didn't realize they were talking about something else. When he saw his sister crying again, he said, "Pregnant women shouldn't cry too much, it's bad for their eyes.
Weiwei, listen to me, nowadays it is popular to kill the father and keep the son. Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t pursue who that man is. Anyway, you are grown up, and it is normal for men and women to love each other.
Just tell your brother whether you want this child or not! As long as you say you want it, you don’t have to worry about anyone or anything else! Brother will cover you! ”
He had already come to his senses from Huo Xiang's words just now, and felt that the man's family was most likely disliked by Weiwei's body, so she had been dating secretly and didn't dare to have children.
This is not a problem. Weiwei doesn't have to marry into anyone's family. Just think of it as leaving the father behind and keeping the son.
Li Weiwei's eyes were red as she said to Huo Xiang and Li Guixun: "Brother, Brother Huo, I, I really don't want to give up this baby... I never thought that I would become a mother one day... But, I'm really scared..."
"I'm afraid I can't be a good mother. I can't give my baby a complete home. I can't even take care of myself. I always cause trouble for others..."
Li Weiwei stroked her abdomen gently, choking with sobs.
Li Guixun asked: "Why do you think so? With my brother here, you——"
Huo Xiang interrupted him in time: "Li Guixun, Weiwei may not like the taste of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. Go out and buy her something she likes!"
Hearing that Huo Xiang wanted to get rid of him, Li Guixun looked at him deeply and went out.
Huo Xiang sat next to Li Weiwei and said, "Now that he's not here, you can treat me as a brother, a friend, or a male bestie. Are you willing to tell Brother Huo what's in your heart?"
He is so gentle and makes people feel safe.
Li Weiwei finally found an outlet to release the pain in her heart.
"Brother Huo, do you know how my brother got in back then?"
Huo Xiang nodded.
"That day was the darkest day of my life. I really hated myself. Why was I so useless that I didn't even have the strength to fight back when I was bullied? If I had killed that beast with my own hands, my brother wouldn't have..."
"So you've been blaming yourself for getting your brother into trouble and sending him to jail?"
Li Weiwei's tears fell.
"My brother had the brightest future. He was such a proud and arrogant person in college. If that incident hadn't happened, there wouldn't be such a shameful thing in his resume. No one would call him a murderer. Everyone would like and admire him instead of being afraid of him.
It was me who caused trouble for my brother. If it weren’t for me, his life would have been extremely smooth…”
Huo Xiang patted her shoulder gently and sighed, "You two are too kind, brother and sister. It was clearly the bad guy's fault, but you both took the blame on yourself.
What's wrong with our Vivi being beautiful? What's wrong with Li Guixun being brave and fearless in protecting his sister? But I live my life burdened with self-blame and guilt..."
Li Weiwei said in disbelief: "Brother, he..."
"Yes, your brother has always felt that it was because he failed to protect you that the bad guys took advantage of you. He was always afraid of touching the wounds in your heart, and he was restrained from doing good to you..."
Li Weiwei burst into tears: "How can my brother be so stupid? He has clearly given me the best love in the world..."
Huo Xiang poured her a cup of warm water to let her calm down, and continued, "Weiwei, you have to remember that your brother never regretted killing that beast. The reason he did it in front of you was so that you could see with your own eyes that the bad guy had passed away and could no longer hurt you, and you no longer had to live in a nightmare."
Li Weiwei's tears flowed again: "I know, I know everything..."
"So Weiwei, don't torture yourself anymore. Your brother will feel at ease only if you are happy and cheerful every day. Also, you really need to cheer up quickly. I hope you can come and help me!"
Huo Xiang took a tissue and gently wiped her tears, saying.
"Me? How can I help you?"
Huo Xiang smiled and said, "I have set up a charity foundation to help women and children in need. Who will be in charge is a big problem. Everyone knows that this position is related to whether the donations can really be used for people in need, and how to use them.
I'm not a good manager, so I think my own people are more suitable for this kind of thing. So Vivi, I thought of you. ”
Li Weiwei was obviously touched, but still a little hesitant: "Can I, can I really do this?"
"As long as you want, you can do it. Weiwei, there are tens of thousands of women and children in the world who are unable to go to school or find employment due to physical reasons, or even face survival crises. I believe you can relate to me. There are also orphans like me, women and children who have been trafficked or abused. These vulnerable groups need people who are truly loving and empathetic to speak up for them and help them out of their predicament."
Huo Xiang spoke sincerely, and Li Weiwei felt a seed sprouting in her heart.
"Brother Huo, what about you? Will you help me?"
Huo Xiang gently rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Brother Huo is busy having a romantic affair with someone! But as long as Weiwei needs us, we are always here.
Don't worry, I will help you find some reliable helpers from the army, and I will also ask your brother for a few trustworthy ones. ”
Li Weiwei nodded and resumed her gossiping heart: "Brother Huo, I saw that my brother was in a daze just now, you haven't told him yet, right?"
Huo Xiang said mischievously, "Who made him so slow? Wait until he reacts! Don't worry about us. Move back home and bring back the work from the studio. You have to catch up. Look how thin you have become after just a few days of not seeing you!"
Li Weiwei could feel that the tone of voice Huo Xiang used when talking to her was closer than before. They were a real family now!
She felt indescribably happy.
Gently stroking her belly, she thought about the little life inside her belly that was connected to her flesh and blood, as well as the charity foundation. For the first time, she realized what it meant to have a long and arduous journey ahead of her.
A sense of responsibility arises naturally along with joy.
