Chapter 2597 - 2612: None of You Want Me Anymore 3

"I’ve been doing quite well... Sister Qingxin, where have you been all these years? You disappeared, and my mom disappeared too. You both don’t want me anymore." Xiao Yi’s tears fell.

"No, it’s not like that. We didn’t abandon you. It’s just... I just left for a little bit, see, I’m back now. And your mom, you really shouldn’t blame her; she’s always loved you very much." Gu Qingxin explained to him.

"Sister, I don’t blame you, and I don’t blame my mom... as long as you both returned safe and sound, that’s good." Xiao Yi knew better; his sister and mom were in trouble, making him even sadder.

"Xiao Yi, I’m really sorry for making you worry."

"..."

Gu Qingxin and Xiao Yi chatted for a long time. Xiao Yi was reluctant to say goodbye to her because he missed her so, so much.

Gu Qingxin couldn’t bear to leave him either. In the end, Xiao Yi said, "Sister, I’ll tell my grandma I want to go back home to see you."

"Is it okay? Will your grandma agree?" Gu Qingxin was momentarily surprised; she felt really apologetic that she couldn’t go see him and instead made Xiao Yi go through the trouble.

"I’ll consult with my uncle. Grandma listens to him."

Gu Qingxin knew the uncle Xiao Yi was talking about was Lan Liehuo. Thinking of Lan Liehuo now, she realized there were too many people she felt sorry towards.

"Alright."

"It’s really late over there, isn’t it? You should rest early! I’ll go find my uncle now!" Xiao Yi said goodbye to Gu Qingxin and then hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Xiao Yi got up and rushed out of the room, asking the driver outside to take him to find Lan Liehuo.

Inside a European-style study.

Lan Liehuo sat behind the desk, completely lifeless, seemingly exuding an aura of dread at every second.

The Lan Liehuo of today is a far cry from who he was five years ago.

Xiao Yi burst into the study, and upon seeing Lan Liehuo, his initially excited expression faded significantly. There was no denying that his uncle was really intimidating.

Even though his uncle treated him well.

Yet...

He was still very afraid of his uncle.

Nowadays, Lan Liehuo had become the President of this country.

He was a capricious tyrant!

If anyone dared to anger him, he would mercilessly twist their neck!

Currently, there are many rumors about Lan Liehuo, and everyone believes he is the reincarnation of the King of Hell.

Lan Liehuo lifted his head upon hearing footsteps. Seeing Xiao Yi walking in, his expression softened a bit, and he asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Uncle Xiao Huo... I have something I’d like to discuss with you." Xiao Yi forced a smile and walked to his desk.

Five years later, Xiao Yi had grown tall, transforming from a little boy to a handsome young man. His face had lost its baby fat, and his features increasingly resembled Shushu’s.

Thus, Lan Liehuo showed something resembling a normal expression only when he saw Xiao Yi.

"Go ahead." Lan Liehuo was exceedingly kind to Xiao Yi, as he was only kind to this child.

Because Xiao Yi was the child of the woman he loved deeply.

Because Xiao Yi increasingly resembled his mother.

"Sister Qingxin has returned home. I want to visit her." Xiao Yi looked at him anxiously.

Lan Liehuo’s pupils contracted sharply. He suddenly stood up, clenching the hand resting on the desk into a fist. "What did you say? Gu Qingxin has returned home!"
