Chapter 396: A Reminder
Twenty minutes later.
Huo Xiang arrived at the restaurant in his usual camouflage gear.
Huo Yanxi arrived slightly earlier and had just ordered.
After the waiter left, Huo Xiang removed his shades and mask and placed them on the chair next to him.
“You always have to conceal your identity when we eat. Don’t you find it tiring?” asked Huo Yanxi as he poured some tea for Huo Xiang.
Huo Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip. “I’m used to it already. Thanks, Brother Yanxi.”
“I saw that live stream program of yours. It looks very real and funny.” Huo Yanxi leaned into the chair with a smile on his face.
“I watch all your shows,” said Huo Yanxi. A thought crossed his mind, and his expression sank a little.
Huo Xiang glanced at him and said, “I think Yao is more photogenic than me. Those new fans of mine are all interested in her. Isn’t that sad?”
Huo Yanxi acknowledged softly. “Uh huh. She’s brilliant.”
Each time he watched the live stream and saw his siblings’ interaction and the trust and love between them, he could not help feeling envious. More than that, he wanted to hide his head in shame.
He once had the chance to be a part of this, but he ended up destroying the opportunity.
“Oh yeah. Why did you call me over today?” Huo Xiang changed the subject.
Huo Xiang looked out the window and asked him casually. “Has Lu Xia looked you up?”
Huo Yanxi seemed a little startled when Huo Xiang brought up Lu Xia. Moments later, he narrowed his eyes. “Nope.”
The little sister whom he used to love so much was a constant reminder of how blindly judgmental he had been in the past.
“Good! Brother Tingrui and I met up with her a couple of days ago. She agreed to sever ties with us if I clarify the matter for her online. When we cross paths in the future, we will be nothing but strangers.” Huo Xiang glanced at his older brother inadvertently as he spoke.
“Although Brother Tingrui and I have no intention of ruining her reputation, she agreed the moment we asked. It’s clear that years of being a family mean nothing to her,” said Huo Xiang.
Huo Yanxi raised his head and looked at his younger brother. He could tell what he was implying.
He was the only person in the family who had trusted Lu Xia unconditionally.
Lu Xia, inadvertently, brought up Huo Yao repeatedly and misled him. As a result, he ended up pushing his biological little sister away to the stage where their relationship could not be mended.
His brother was trying to tell him that the family ties that he treasured so much meant nothing to his beloved foster baby sister.
Huo Yanxi parted his lips, and his voice sounded dry. “I understand.”
The moment he finished speaking, both of them went quiet for a long time. Huo Xiang lowered his eyes and stared at the table.
Before long, the private room door opened, and the waiter finally broke the silence in the room.
