Although she did not know what to say, Xing Jiuan rushed out the moment she saw him.
She walked over quickly and the man looked up at her.
"Xing 21st."
Xing Jiuan smiled humbly. "Senior Brother, you must be tired. Let's go back quickly."
The man looked at her coldly. "When did you dye your hair golden?"
In his memory, Xing Jiuan had not dyed it before he went overseas.
She used to have clean black hair.
"Not long ago." She did not dare to say that she had dyed it another color before this one.
The man looked at her a few times and said casually, "It looks pretty good."
Xing Jiuan smiled.
Tsundere senior brother!
The two of them walked to the car. Xing Jiuan was about to open the door to the front passenger seat when the man opened the door to the back seat instead. "Sit here."
Xing Jiuan looked at the front passenger seat and then at her Sixteenth Senior Brother. In the end, she sat down obediently.
Mu Qing did not say anything else. When he saw that the two of them were seated, he started the car.
"How many days are you planning to stay?" Mu Qing asked.
"I'll leave tomorrow. There are still things I haven't settled there," the man replied.
"Won't you get tired? You might as well not have come back," Xing Jiuan interrupted.
"Who do you think I came back for?"
When she met the man's faint smile, Xing Jiuan did not dare to speak.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Nothing. It's just a small matter. It'll be resolved soon."
"That means it hasn't been resolved yet."
Xing Jiuan lowered her head and fell silent obediently.
"What's going on with the Huo family?"
"It has nothing to do with me," Xing Jiuan said.
The man did not dwell on the fact that they were her biological parents. Instead, he asked about something else.
"Why is that Huo Chulan targeting you?
"She's the adopted daughter of the Huo family, right?
"Did you fight back?"
With so many questions, Xing Jiuan chose only the first two to answer.
"She's the adopted daughter of the Huo family. She probably doesn't want me to go back."
"Then did you bully her back?" the man asked seriously.
"A little… I guess."
Xing Jiuan really did not retaliate much. It could almost be said that she did not counterattack at all.
Mu Qing and the others did not do anything because of her.
The reason why Huo Chulan was suddenly criticized was mostly because of the people who could not stand her previously.
The man's expression immediately darkened.
"Xing 21st, are you stupid? Why didn't you bully her back when she was bullying you?
"What's wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me," Xing Jiuan said guiltily.
Because there were some reasons she could not say out loud, she did not know how to explain.
Mu Qing and the others would not ask too much, but Sixteenth Senior Brother would not be like Mu Qing and the others.
He had to ask.
In his eyes, Xing Jiuan could not be bullied. Furthermore, she had to return the favor immediately if she was wronged.
If no one attacked her, she would not attack them either.
If someone offended her, she should definitely offend them.
"Then tell me, what's the reason?
"You're being bullied so badly, yet you still don't want to bully her back. Are you waiting for me to come back and scold you?"
"No, she still has some use. I still have to wait."
"What use?" the man asked.
"Tell me why.
"Xing 21st, let me tell you. If you really can't do it, I'll handle it for you.
"I'll go back after I'm done with this. It won't affect anything."
"This is my secret. I don't want to tell you."
The man chuckled. "Oh, you've grown up!"
