Father and Daughters Meet

Qiao An held Chen Jing’s hand. Under the moonlight, the shocking scars on her hand appalled Qiao An.

Qiao An’s eyes overflowed with anger. “Chen Jing, he’s not your husband. He’s a human trafficker. You can’t go back. After I recuperate for two days, I’ll help you seek justice.”

Chen Jing shook her head in despair. “Qiao An, no. The people here are all stupid. I once tried to escape. The furthest I went was to town. I thought I was very safe, but someone from the town was their informant. Soon, I was captured by them again.”

Qiao An held Chen Jing’s hand. Chen Jing’s body was trembling badly. Qiao An comforted her with heartache. “Chen Jing, don’t worry. I have a way to get all the sins punished.”

Chen Jing looked at Qiao An in a daze. She didn’t know who Qiao An was, but she had vaguely heard that Qiao An was the daughter of a rich family in the city. She must have a lot of connections, so she chose to trust Qiao An.

Qiao An was very worried about Huo Xiaoran. He must be very worried about her. At that time, Qiao An thought that Huo Xiaoran must be worried about her disappearance, but she didn’t expect the villagers to replace her with a few animal bones. She had already become a dead person. Because of her death, Huo Xiaoran lived in despair. He went on a hunger strike and waited for death.

Until the next day, after dawn when uninvited guests came to the village.

Huo Zhou drove the RV with Xiao Ming and a few bodyguards. Of course, they also brought the three children.

The villagers gathered at the intersection to watch them and pointed. “Where did this volunteer come from?”

“Isn’t the plague well controlled? It’s almost over. What are they doing here at this time?”

The driver opened the car door and Huo Zhou and Xiao Ming walked out in high spirits. When the villagers saw the two top-notch handsome men, the girls looked infatuated.

“They’re so handsome.”

At that moment, three children got out of the RV. They were about eight years old. Ki Ki looked mature because he was taller than his peers. Angel and Joey had the typical fair, rich, and beautiful appearance of city girls.

Angel asked Xiao Ming softly, “Dad Xiao, where’s my daddy? Why didn’t he pick us up?”

Xiao Ming said, “Angel, something happened to your father. Maybe he can’t recognize you anymore. But you have to find a way to make him happy. Understand?”

Angel nodded obediently.

Then, Huo Zhou walked toward the villagers and asked elegantly, “May I know where Xing Chen is?”

“Looking for Xing Chen?” someone whispered.

“I knew Xing Chen didn’t belong here. One look and you can tell that Xing Chen is from the city. So noble.”

“They’re here to take Xing Chen away, right?”

Xie Cunhua pushed Xing Xiaoya out and said to her, “Xiaoya, you can follow Xing Chen to enjoy life.”

Xing Xiaoya walked out of the crowd and looked at Huo Zhou shyly. “Xing Chen is my brother.”

Huo Zhou looked at Xing Xiaoya with an indifferent gaze.

“Xing Chen isn’t your brother. He’s my brother,” Huo Zhou said coldly.

His thoughts were very straight. It was obvious that this girl and Xiaoran were from two different worlds. She was rushing to acknowledge Xing Chen as her relative and he suspected her of scamming.

Xie Cunhua stood up and vouched for Xing Xiaoya. “Xing Chen is really her brother.”

Huo Zhou looked at Xie Cunhua with an icy gaze, making her shudder. Huo Zhou said, “My name is Huo Zhou. Xing Chen’s original name is Huo Xiaoran. Our Huo family doesn’t have a girl. Don’t come to scam us because you’re not worthy.”

Xing Xiaoya bit her lip in extreme humiliation.

“But Father Xing saved Brother Xing Chen,” Xie Cunhua said boldly.

Huo Zhou said, “It’s his blessing to be able to save Xing Chen.” Then, he did not continue.

“Why is this person like this?” Xie Cunhua complained.

Huo Zhou looked at Xie Cunhua. “Don’t morally coerce my Xiaoran. I’m warning you, Xiaoran belongs to the Huo family. Don’t try to abduct my Xiaoran with your inferior thoughts.”

When he was angry, his gaze was especially sharp.

Xie Cunhua trembled.

Huo Zhou looked at Xing Xiaoya coldly. “Where’s Xing Chen? Take me there.” His tone was commanding.

Xing Xiaoya remained silent as she led them toward the back mountain.

Many villagers followed behind to watch the commotion.

The mighty team arrived at the ruins of the small wooden house at the back of the mountain. Everyone looked around a few times and realized that Huo Xiaoran was lying quietly in the grass beside the cemetery.

“Xiaoran.” Huo Zhou was the first to rush over.

He knelt in front of Huo Xiaoran and carefully lifted him up to sit. Huo Xiaoran’s dark eyes were a little confused as he looked at him in confusion.

“And you are?”

“I’m your cousin, Huo Zhou. Xiaoran, why are you like this?” Huo Zhou cleaned the weeds on his body and looked at the haggard, tired, and listless Huo Xiaoran with heartache.

Huo Xiaoran had not eaten for a day and was not only haggard. His expression was desolate.

“Xiaoran, I know Qiao An is very important to you, but Qiao An is already gone. This pain is a fact. You should be brave and work hard to get over it.”

Xiaoran closed his eyes in pain.

Huo Zhou continued, “Back then, you didn’t return from the police mission. Qiao An was a woman. She had also been as desperate and sad as you are today. She didn’t even have the intention to live. But in the end, she still chose to live on account of the children.”

At the mention of the children, Huo Zhou suddenly turned his head, searching for the children.

He realized that Xiao Ming was kneeling in front of the cemetery with the three children.

When the children saw the words on the tombstone and understood that this was their mother’s grave, they realized that their beloved mother could never come back and cried bitterly.

“Mommy. Mommy. Come back. Don’t abandon us.”

Huo Zhou’s eyes turned red.

When Huo Xiaoran heard the children crying, his eyes rolled around sadly as he slowly searched for the children. When he turned around and saw the three children, his eyes were filled with strange emotions.

There was also a strong sense of responsibility.

Huo Zhou choked and said, “Xiaoran, you saw it. The children don’t have a mother anymore. If you aren’t strong, what do you want them to do?”

This reference to “Xiaoran” shocked the children so much that they turned around. Angel’s eyes were still filled with tears. When she saw Huo Xiaoran, her pupils shot out a shocked light.

Then, she suddenly ran over and threw herself into Xiaoran’s arms. She shouted softly, in pleasantly surprise and grievance, “Daddy, Daddy.”

Joey also pounced over and overlapped with Angel in Daddy’s arms. Only Ki Ki endured the redness in his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran in a daze.
