Xing Jiuan did not answer.

The night breeze was a little strong. There were clearly many people around, but it was surprisingly quiet.

“Go back and have a good rest. We’ll meet if there’s a chance,” Xing Jiuan replied.

The young lady was clearly disappointed, but she nodded politely in response.

“Jiuan…” Madam Huo’s voice was soft and seemed to be laced with a hint of pleading.

Xing Jiuan was very rational. She looked over and said with a calm gaze, “Thank you for going out of your way to come over. In the future, there’s no need to do so.”

Mu Qing stood beside her and looked at Xing Jiuan with a complex gaze.

Xing Jiuan suddenly tugged at Mu Qing’s clothes and said to her family members, “I have a family.”

Huo Jun’s hands trembled slightly. “Can’t you accept us?”

“Thank you for giving me life.” Xing Jiuan bowed and left without turning back.

Mu Qing and Su Yize followed suit.

Su Yize opened the car door and let Xing Jiuan in first. He turned around and saw that the rest of the people were looking at them.

He looked at Xing Jiuan again. Xing Jiuan was leaning back against the seat, seemingly in a daze.

Mu Qing drove off.

Lu Zhichen was placing the chocolates in his pocket when he heard Huo Jinyuan speak.

“President Lu, do you know Jiuan?”

Lu Zhichen was also a little shocked by what had just happened. He didn’t know that Xing Jiuan was a child of the Huo family.

When he heard what Huo Jinyuan said, he only answered, “It was a long time ago. She doesn’t seem to remember me now.”

With that, Lu Zhichen greeted Huo Jinyuan’s parents and turned to leave.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Jinyuan, that Miss Jiuan earlier…” At this moment, Huo Xiaoxiao’s father went forward to ask about the matter. Looking at their upset expressions, he seemed to have figured out something.
