Was she such a placebo substitute in his mind?

Mother Huo saw that she was silent for a long time and knew that her words were too direct, hurting the child's heart. However, after recalling so many things, her mind was also in a mess, and she couldn't think of any other ways to comfort her. She could only wave her hand and say, "Jinxin, I'm a bit tired too. You should go upstairs first. I'll go to my room to rest."

Ye Jin's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts as he gave a "En" in a daze. Hugging the small box on the table in his arms, he then shakily stood up and walked upstairs.

Is that really the case?

She became Lin Jianning's shadow.

Ye Jinxin felt her chest contract.

Perhaps, in his heart, he really was a substitute for that girl.

Otherwise, why would a cold-hearted person like Huo Tindong suddenly show such kindness and adopt someone with a different surname that was not related to him in any way?

It was one thing if he didn't want to. However, the more he thought about it, the more chills he felt.

He walked up the stairs in a daze. The moment he closed the door, Ye Jinxin seemed to have been drained of all her energy. She slowly slid down the door and sat on the floor.

He was oblivious to the fact that he was being distracted by his own past as if he were an eye- eyed girl.

It was five o'clock, and Holtington drummed his long, thin fingers on the steering wheel impatiently.

Was she still going home?

If he had known that her sister would be so slow, he wouldn't have come here to be her chauffeur.

"Little uncle?"

Gao Yunqi opened the door and sat in the back seat. He stared doubtfully at Huo Tindong, who was sitting in the driver's seat. "Are you coming home with us?"

Go home with you, hmph, my daughter is still at the Huo house, will I abandon her?

He put his cigarette out in the ashtray in the car and shook his head. "I'll take you and your mother home."

Gao Yunqi replied, then asked, "Where's the Brilliant Heart? Didn't she come with you? "

Huo Ting Dong coldly snorted. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "What relationship does she have with you? Why would she send you off?"

The corner of Gao Yunqi's mouth twitched, "We're classmates, and we're cousins, it's not too much to come out and send us off."

Huo Tindong put the car key in the ignition, turned around slightly and opened fire, then said in a deep voice, "Cousin, this is a good reason, but let's just forget about it, I hope you can recognize one thing, Ye Jinxin is your sister, other than family, I don't want you to be completely unrelated to her, understand?"

Gao Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Even though Huo Tindong's tone was calm, not even a scolding, he felt his heart palpitate for no reason.

Danger.

Yes, dangerous.

Being in a big family, even if his mother Huo Linyun married his father and didn't involve herself in the Huo Family's Shang Hai anymore, only being able to build a harmonious but not reputable family with his father. However, Gao Yunqi's bone search for danger was also inherited from his mother.

Actually, Huo Linyun didn't want her child to be tired like her, being troubled by all sorts of mundane matters. Thus, she had never taught him any of the conspiratorial skills in business.

Thus, in summary, Gao Yunqi had completely broken away from the materialistic business world and had grown up under the upbringing of the parents of a well-educated painter. He knew very little about the dark and indeterminate society.

Strangely, however, he was instinctively sensitive to and insightful about being in danger.

From the looks of it, he could be considered to have inherited half of the blood of the founder of the Huo Family, Huo Lianshan.

After not getting a response for a long time, Huo Tindong became a bit impatient. His slender fingers tapped the steering wheel as he frowned and said, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Gao Yunqi was startled, and promptly sat up straight. He respectfully replied, "I know, but …"

"No buts."

"If you approach her with any thoughts other than those of your loved ones, I will make you disappear from Song City very soon."

Gao Yunqi's jaw tightened, and he surprisingly called out, "Uncle."

"No need to be so intimate. Even if your mother is my sister, I would still do it."

Gao Yunqi was so agitated that he felt a chill at the bottom of his feet. He never thought that Huo Ting Dong would be so ruthless. He also never thought that Huo Ting Dong would think so highly of Ye Jinxin.

The youth's face was pale as he coldly said.

"Jinxin is my sister and my friend. I have no reason to alienate her."

In the end, he was still young and arrogant. Even when facing such an arrogant and proud character like Huo Tindong, he would still have some guts to resist.

However, although he was confident, it was obvious that he had lost his confidence.

"No reason? "Kid." Huo Ting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Ye Jinxin isn't someone that a person like you can think of."

He held the baby he had raised in his hand, and no one deserved to stand next to her.

An immature brat actually wanted to kidnap her away? What a joke!

"Shaw thought?" Gao Yunqi was shocked by this word, his eyes wide open.

If he didn't know Ye Jinxin's identity, he might have still harbored lustful feelings for her. But now, he already knew that the two of them were cousins that were related to each other by blood, so he would definitely let go of this unrequited love. Did Huo Qingtong really think that he had the guts to be incestuous?

Gao Yunqi felt a sharp pain in his heart. He could insult him, but he couldn't insult a cute girl like Ye Jinxin.

"Uncle!" Gao Yunqi exclaimed with a straight face, "I consider Jinxin to be a little sister, please don't try to make malicious guesses about our relationship."

Huo Ting Dong's back muscles instantly tensed up. Just as he was about to explode, Huo Linyun suddenly opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat.

Huo Tinton pursed his lips, suppressing the anger that was rising in his heart.

"Oh …" Huo Linyun smiled at Huo Ting as he fastened his seatbelt. "Why are you being so courteous today? Why did you think of driving us here personally?"

One had to know that her younger brother was so cold that he almost lived in seclusion in the mountains. Normally, he wouldn't even be willing to send her to the door, let alone send her off himself.

Huo Ting looked back and asked in a low voice, "Where are your little ones?"

Huo Linyun's hand that was holding the seatbelt suddenly stopped as she smiled tenderly, "The sun really did rise from the west today. You actually started to ask about your little nephews?"

Huo Tindong wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to blindly chat with her. He said coldly, "Our Jinxin likes your kids very much. When we have time, let them stay with us for a few days."
