Chapter 55 - Huo Xiaoxiao

It was late at night. Mu Qing was handling some matters when he suddenly received a call from Xing Jiuan.

"Jiuan?"

"Senior Brother, come and pick me up."

Mu Qing thought something had happened. His voice sounded anxious. "What's wrong?"

After he hung up, Ou Qi and Lu Mingxi happened to return. He let the two of them take care of Xiaoguai while he went to pick Xing Jiuan up.

At that moment, Xing Jiuan and Su Yize were at the police station.

The two of them were only here to testify and would soon be released. The two of them sat in a room and ate the things they'd bought.

At this moment, the young lady's family arrived. It was a man and a woman. Xing Jiuan seemed to be somewhat familiar with that man.

The woman hugged the young lady and cried until her face was covered in tears. The man walked over and thanked Xing Jiuan.

This man was from the Huo family.

Following the family tree, he was Xing Jiuan's cousin from her eldest uncle's family.

Xing Jiuan had never seen this young lady before. When she went back the Huo family, she had seen this cousin of hers a few times. She'd heard that his child had gone missing but they could not find her even after searching for a long time.

This cousin was a very gentle man. His attitude toward her and Huo Chulan was the same. They were not very close, but they were not distant either.

Perhaps because he had lost his beloved daughter, he did not have much enthusiasm for other things or other people.

The Huo family's eldest uncle and his family were not interested in the company. They liked to teach and educate people. Therefore, they were all professors or teachers.

"Young lady, thank you for saving our child." Her cousin's voice was very gentle. He turned and looked at his wife and daughter, who were hugging each other. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Xing Jiuan had been eating. She stopped when she saw him coming over.

"There's no need to say that. I was just passing by."

At this moment, the young lady was brought over by her mother as she asked her to thank Xing Jiuan.

"Thank you for saving me," the little girl whispered.

She hesitated for a moment before going forward to hug Xing Jiuan.

Xing Jiuan's appearance made her look difficult to get close to, but when the girl went over, Xing Jiuan hugged her very gently.

There was a softness that was different from her appearance.

"Be careful in the future."

"Yes, yes." The little girl nodded her head vigorously. "Big Sister, my name is Xiaoxiao. Huo Xiaoxiao. What's your name? Can I play with you in the future?"

"My name is Xing Jiuan." She smiled.

Beside them, Su Yize took the food they'd bought and didn't say anything.

"Miss Xing, have you not eaten yet? We…" Huo Xiaoxiao's mother opened her mouth but was interrupted.

"We already ate."

They could leave now as well. Xing Jiuan and Su Yize had been waiting for Mu Qing to pick them up when the Huo family members came over to thank them.

No one expected that some unlikely people would come at this time.

Huo Jun, Madam Huo, and Huo Jinyuan had rushed over anxiously. The other three people from the Huo family were a little surprised at first. Then, they realized that the others did not come for them.

Su Yize knew about the Huo family in the capital as he was also from this circle. Although he had never been out much, he still knew these few people from the Huo family.

"Jiuan, we heard that you're here. What happened to you? Are you hurt?" Madam Huo asked nervously and concernedly.

If not for Xing Jiuan's exceptionally cold eyes and distant expression, she really would have wanted to go over, hug her, and check to see if she was injured.

When they received the news, they did not wait to hear why Xing Jiuan was there and rushed over in a hurry.

Xing Jiuan and the others had arrived outside the police station.. It was already very late, and there was no one around except for them.
