If he had guessed it right, Xu Xiyan’s sorrow had definitely been caused by his unreasonable mother.

Needless to say, his mother had probably told Xu Xiyan that she wanted the child returned to the Huo family.

How could his mother say that?

Even though Ying Bao had the blood of the Huo family, the Huo family still had no right to force mother and child to separate from each other.

“Jing Xi, did my mother come to you and tell you something?”

Xu Xiyan didn’t speak. She only nodded, shedding her tears quietly.

Huo Yunshen didn’t want his mother to affect his relationship with Xu Xiyan. He continued, “Jing Xi, no matter what my mother has said, you should not take it to heart. If she said things like wanting custody of the child, you don’t have to be afraid. I won’t let anyone break you off from Cherry.”

“Are you serious? What if your mother went to court for the child’s custody? What should we do?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let it happen.”

Huo Yunshen took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears away from her face. He comforted her, “No matter who tries to take the child away, they’ll have to step over my dead body first.”

With his assurance, Xu Xiyan felt a little comforted and her heart was calming down.

But there was still something that she wanted to find out indirectly: she wanted to know how important she was in Huo Yunshen’s heart?

“I know you won’t separate me and Cherry, but after all, Cherry has the blood of the Huo family and she still will have to return to the Huo family sooner or later. If there’s such a day, what can I do to stop it? What’s more, your mother said that we may be half-siblings. I…”

“What? Half-siblings?”

Huo Yunshen was astonished by his mother. In order to separate him and Xu Xiyan, she had actually made up such a ridiculous story. She was simply infuriating. “Don’t listen to her blathering, it’s all nonsense.”

“She showed me past photos of your dad and my mother.”

Xu Xiyan told him about the relationship between her mother and his father. Huo Yunshen finally knew that the first love that lived in his father’s heart was Xu Xiyan’s mother.

“Impossible. We do not share any blood relationship. Back then, a scandal about my father had broken out but it got under control. Still, my mother took me away from home because of the scandal. Later, when I asked my father myself, he said that he had been framed. He did not have an affair with anyone. Therefore, there was no such thing as him having illegitimate children.”

So that’s the truth!

After listening to his explanation, Xu Xiyan finally understood. Her mother’s scandals in the past must have been caused by Xu Jinshan’s maliciousness.

“This is all because of Xu Jinshan. If it wasn’t for him, my mother wouldn’t have died that year,” Xu Xiyan said resentfully.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let Xu Jinshan get away with it. I will help avenge you!” Huo Yunshen said with a steadfast look in his eyes. Back in those years, he had misjudged him and his family and had unknowingly contributed to his wicked deeds.

Now that he had clearly seen their true colors, he would not continue to let them go unpunished.

If he could push them up to the top, he could also push them down to hell.

After settling his child and lover, Huo Yunshen’s next goal was to help Xu Xiyan have her revenge and fulfill her wish.

“All right, I shall look forward to seeing what will become of them.”

With Huo Yunshen’s support, Xu Xiyan felt her confidence returning in full force.

She had thought that the day she would bring down Xu Jinshan, Chu Yuhe and the others was still far off. Now, with Huo Yunshen’s help, she estimated the day she would have her revenge was not far away.

“All right, don’t think about unhappy things anymore. Just remember that you’re the child’s mother. Even if your child returns to the Huo family, you will go back with her.”
