I’m Waiting for You in Ashes - Chapter 21

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment before bursting out in laughter.

“As expected of my sister.”

He had his own demeanor.

Su Wan thought of something and was suddenly anxious. She grabbed her brother’s hand.

“Brother, was Li Mengqing’s eye hurt because of you?”

Bai Shan looked at her strangely.

Su Wan was stunned. Realizing that she had gone too far, she let him go and repeated her words again and again.

“Is that you?”

Bai Shan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“She’s just a forbidden daughter of my foster father. What do I need her eyes for?”

Su Wan confirmed again and again, “Really?”

“…”

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows. “I’ve lied to you before?”

“…” “No.”

Su Wan let out a breath of relief. In her heart, she was sure that this was Li Mengqing’s plan.

But, would he believe it even if she told Huo Qing?

Su Wan’s face changed. She leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice.

“Signing a contract with that brat is undoubtedly a way to get back at him. If you really want to help big brother, I have a pretty good idea …”

Su Wan’s pupils slightly widened.

He shook his head reflexively, “No!”

Bai Shan did not expect her to reject him so decisively, so he could not help but feel somewhat displeased.

“You are protecting him? See what he did to you? Let’s not talk about the child now, there is someone else in his heart — do you intend to share a life with that woman? ”

When the words’ her child is gone ‘slipped into her ears, Su Wan’s face suddenly turned pale and she raised her head to look at her brother.

Bai Shan also realized his slip of the tongue and fell silent.

After a long time, Su Wan finally heard her trembling voice.

“He is not good to me, right …” “But at that time, it was the Huo family who took me out of the orphanage.”

She seemed to remember something unpleasant and spoke slowly.

“When I was being bullied, when I was starving, when I was almost eaten by the Beast Garden’s Head … At the time, I thought you guys would come, but you didn’t. ”

With every word she said, the pain in Bai Shan’s eyes grew even more intense.

“I don’t know, but I thought …”

It turned out that after they left, she had actually lived this kind of life.

Su Wan took a deep breath and interrupted him.

“I owe the Huo Family a favor. I don’t want to betray the Huo Family.”

Bai Shan’s face turned cold.

He sneered.

“You don’t want to betray the Huo Family? I think you don’t want to betray him. ”

Su Wan was silent. She did not nod or shake her head.

His eyes were half-lidded, and his quiet, beautiful face was half hidden by his loose black hair.

Bai Shan frowned, disagreeing.

After thinking about it for a long time, he slowly spoke.

“Originally, I didn’t want to tell you …” However, you truly do not know how our father died. ”

Su Wan was shocked: Why did brother mention this all of a sudden?

At that time, she was still too young, and she vaguely knew that her father had been avenged, but her mother didn’t let her ask, so she left that night with her brother.

Later, she was adopted by Old Man Huo.

This matter had become an eternal mystery.

Brother, could it be …

Su Wan quickly stopped her guessing and shook her head with a dry voice.

“I don’t know.”

Bai Shan opened his thin lips. He seemed to be somewhat unwilling and his tone became serious.

“You guessed it right. It’s the Huo Family.”

His mother had personally told him about this before she passed away.

Back then, his father was working under the Bai Clan. Because he knew about the Huo Clan’s secret, he was silenced on the spot.

And their mother, in order to protect them, did not even dare to retract her father’s bones and worship them. She endured her grief and immediately remarried to Bai Renjin, swearing to take revenge.

He didn’t want to bring a girl into a gang, so he threw her away.

He just didn’t expect that the Huo family would adopt a leash …

Such a coincidence was completely wrong.

“How could this be …”

Su Wan’s eyelashes trembled violently. She took in a shallow breath, causing her chest and lungs to feel less pain.

His brother’s lips moved as if he were telling a story about someone else.

How could this be?

In an instant, the world changed.

His mother had originally loved him, but the Huo family, which had adopted her, had become his enemy …

Her pale face touched Bai Shan’s heart, but there was no longer any turning back to shoot the bow. He hardened his heart and continued.

“If you don’t believe me, you can go investigate, but I believe that Huo Qing can’t wait.”

The day she finds out the truth, the Huo family will annihilate the Bai family.

Su Wan’s expression relaxed a little.

Bai Shan continued.

“It’s just a few docks. The Huo family won’t die even if they lost it. But if you give it to me, you can at least save the Bai family’s remaining strength for a short period of time so that they won’t be surrounded and blocked.”

One at a time, the logic was strict, and one could not reject it.

Su Wan gripped her fingers tightly, even her hair was trembling.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Bai Shan thought that she would not speak, she spoke.

“Alright, I’ll get it for you.”

Bai Shan laughed with relief and touched her head.

“That’s right, be good.”

“…”

Neither of them noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from outside the ward.

Huo Qing’s hand that was on the doorknob was put down. He followed the momentum and put it into his pocket before turning around and leaving. His back was firm and he didn’t hold back in the slightest.

He had only left for a quarter of an hour, and when he returned, he happened to hear the plans of the two.

Betrayal…

Heh, this time, it’s a complete betrayal.

As he passed the trash can, he raised his hand and the thing he had bought for her fell into it.

The plastic cup rolled twice in the trash can, spilling hot porridge.

Anger burst out from his chest.
