Chapter 159: Huo Xiaoxiao’s Mother

The girl was a little excited when she arrived in front of them.

“Sister Xing… Little…” The young lady did not know if she should call Xing Jiuan “Sister Xing” or “Little Aunt.”

It was Huo Xiaoxiao and her parents.

According to their blood relations, Huo Xiaoxiao should have called out “Little Aunt.”

However, she had clearly sensed that day that Xing Jiuan did not want to have anything to do with the Huo family. She could not bring herself to call her that.

In the end, Xing Jiuan sighed and said, “Just call me Sister.”

The young lady seemed to heave a sigh of relief and greeted her sweetly.

Her parents were also with her. In Xing Jiuan’s eyes, she was a little unsure about how to get along with this male cousin from her eldest uncle’s family.

In her previous life, she had even received some help from this cousin.

She was not happy in the Huo family. Although she did not live a horrible life, she always felt lonely.

Most of the time, the Huo family was so cold that they did not seem like a family to Xing Jiuan.

It seemed like they were just stopping by and regarded the mall as a rest stop.

Xing Jiuan had stayed in the Huo family for a short period of time. They left early and returned late, and they didn’t talk much usually.

When she was carving flowers with a knife at home, she had hurt her hand. For some reason, she fell into a sudden daze. It was this cousin who had come over by chance and found her, and he helped her to bandage her wound thereafter.

Later on, he had especially counseled her a few times.

Regarding the Huo family’s attitude, he did not say anything. However, he treated Huo Chulan and Xing Jiuan pretty much the same. In fact, he was even closer to Xing Jiuan.

Xing Jiuan was very respectful to this cousin of hers and had secretly helped him out.

She had also sent people to look for this cousin’s missing child. Later on, they probably found her. However, Xing Jiuan did not know what had happened back then.

“We were in too much of a hurry the last time. Miss Xing, if you have time, we would like to treat you to a meal as thanks for saving our child,” the cousin said gently. His eyes were gentle and his voice sounded approachable.

Furthermore, he did not mention anything about what had happened previously, nor did he mention Xing Jiuan’s identity or her relationship with the Huo family.

Xing Jiuan nodded gently.

Her master had taught her a lot since she was young. She knew how to distinguish right from wrong and how to repay kindness. This was the most basic thing.

In her previous life, this cousin had given her a hint of warmth when she was sad, and it was enough for her to treat him differently.

“I’ll be available in two days. You can arrange a time and get someone to inform me by going straight to Nan Xun.”

“Okay.” They did not say anything else.

Xing Jiuan and Lin Ling left.

Xing Jiuan still had not exchanged contact details with them.

She would not reject them if they wanted to treat her to a meal to return the favor.

However, after this meal, she would not contact them again because of this matter.

Even if this was a special situation, it could not be too special.

After walking for a while, Lin Ling suddenly spoke.

“I seem to remember that woman.”

Xing Jiuan thought that it was only right that Senior Sister had an impression of her.

Her cousin’s wife was an art teacher and an excellent designer.

However, it was rumored that after her daughter grew up, she gradually faded out of the design industry. Now, she seemed to only be designing clothes for her child or taking on orders from acquaintances.

Huo Xiaoxiao’s mother used to be a famous fashion designer and jewelry designer in the design industry.
