After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

Her palm stopped in mid-air without falling.

Because Han Xiao stood in front of Xia Taozhi and looked at her coldly.

Mrs. Huo was shrouded in this gaze and couldn't help but shudder. Her brain, which had just been filled with anger and sadness, suddenly sobered up a lot.

"I just helped Huo Qing, and now you are going to attack my wife. You are not that quick to burn bridges across rivers. Are you two looking at me, Han Xiao, for bullying?"

He raised the corners of his mouth and mocked coldly.

Mr. Huo calmed down and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, Ah Xiao, my wife was hit too hard. She didn't mean it. Don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Huo also trembled her lips: "Yes, I'm sorry... I was just excited."

Xia Taozhi: "It doesn't matter. I wasn't making sarcastic remarks just now. It was a sincere suggestion. When my father had a car accident, I was the only one beside him, so now is really not the time to cry. You are Huo Qing's family. If you continue to You are all in disarray, and there is no way he can handle it."

Her eyes were clear and calm, like a bottomless lake.

Mrs. Huo was stunned: "Your father also..."

"Yes, he was injured more seriously than Huo Qing is now, so he became a vegetative state and lay in bed for several years." Her voice dimmed, but soon she became excited again, "But he has woken up recently. I I believe that after some time, he will recover and be by my side as before."

"Mrs. Huo, Huo Qing can do it too. At least his life is saved. As long as a person is alive, there must be hope of hard work."

Mrs. Huo's eyes were red.

Somehow, seeing Xia Taozhi's eyes and hearing her words, my originally flustered and anxious heart calmed down a lot.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to teach you a lesson just now... It was really my fault." Mrs. Huo apologized for the second time, obviously much more sincere than before.

"It doesn't really matter." She smiled.

She understands this feeling because she has also been in this kind of pain.

Han Xiao looked at her deeply.

It wasn't until the Huo couple sat on the other side to comfort each other that he asked softly: "When your father had an accident, your stepmother was not here?"

"Can you count on that woman Jiang Na?"

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Unfortunately, I didn't know it at the time. I contacted her again and again and begged her again and again, but she still refused for various reasons. She even came to the hospital to sign. It was me who knelt down to beg her."

"I can't help it. I want my father to live. I have to bear some grievances."

She shrugged, raised her eyes and smiled at him.

She has a calmness that transcends age and life and death, which is the calmness after going through the storm.

Han Xiao's thoughts moved and he spoke before he could react: "When my mother passed away, I felt similar to you. If I could save her life, I would be willing to kneel down and give up everything. Unfortunately... God has not favored me. Me, she still left me."

In his memory, that warm and loving woman gave him all her love and care even though she was in poor health.

He is not her biological child.

so what?

In Han Xiao's heart, she is his real mother.

"Later, I became Han Xiao." The coldness on his lips was profound, which made Xia Taozhi feel distressed.

"Is this the reason why you and Mrs. Han have a bad relationship?"

She regretted the question as soon as she asked it, and waved her hands hastily, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, I'm just asking casually."

She had long seen that the relationship between Han Xiao and Xu Zhenhui was tense, and she had guessed these things from some words.

But it's not as good as Han Xiao telling her himself.

But after all, they are not a real couple... Some secrets are only suitable for the person involved to keep in their heart. She doesn't want to and can't touch them easily.

Han Xiao smiled: "You have wanted to ask for a long time, right?"

"I don't want to ask, I just want to know." She told the truth, "I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about this. If I am kept in the dark and make the wrong choice, won't it cause trouble for you?"

He looked out the window with deep eyes.

There, the night was dark and there were not even a single star in the sky.

Very much like that night.

Han Xiao: "Back then, I was abducted by enemies of the Han family. They sold me to a mountain village. Because I was a boy, there was no need to worry about someone buying me. What they didn't expect was that I was actually still sick. Later, The buyer found out and asked for a return. If the traffickers couldn't be found, they planned to throw me into a ravine to die."

"It was my mother who stood up and kept me. She exchanged ten pounds of flour and two pounds of brown sugar for me, and I became her son. She took good care of me, worked hard to bring me out of the mountains, provided me with education, and taught me She is motivated, she doesn't know a single word, but she doesn't look like an illiterate peasant woman from the mountains."

"Later, the Han family found me, confirmed my identity, and asked me to return to the Han family. I didn't agree immediately because I couldn't let go of my mother. The Han family is good, but it's not good enough for me to give up. A mother’s place.”

"In order to let me go back, they took the initiative to approach me and my mother. At first, I thought they sincerely accepted us, mother and son, and even thought about cultivating a relationship with Mrs. Han, but the facts proved... I was wrong."

Speaking of this, Han Xiao's temperament became as cold as ice.

Xia Tao was so frightened that his back felt cold, and a chill slowly extended from behind to the top of his head.

"My mother was originally in poor health and was not going to die soon. Mrs. Han actually didn't need to do this. I have always been a member of the Han family and it is impossible to really cut off contact with them. She probably felt that I did not regard her as my mother. She was dissatisfied. The day my mother fell ill...she deliberately removed all the vehicles near the villa. In the end, my mother did not wait for an ambulance or rush to the hospital, so she died alone..."

Hearing this, Xia Taozhi's eyes trembled: "Did she do it on purpose?"

"She later said no, saying it was just a coincidence. But later I investigated and it was not a coincidence."

Han Xiao sneered, "But what can I do? You can still take revenge on your stepmother, because you have no blood relationship."

The corner of her mouth moved, understanding his situation and dilemma.

"My father is really good to me. After this incident, he officially listed me as his heir. He has been cultivating me for so many years. And my grandfather..."

As he spoke, his eyes became cold, "Do you think I'm terrible, stepping on my mother's blood all the way to today? If it were you, would you give up everything to take revenge on them?"

This question made Xia Taozhi's soul tremble.

She closed her eyes and calmed down: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"Well." She also looked at the deep night, as if the distance was not the starry sky but an abyss, "If I were you, I would not necessarily do better than you, nor would I necessarily make the choice of revenge. "

"why?"

"Because you know very well that your mother definitely doesn't want you to take revenge. She wants you to live a better life."
