After chatting in the living room for a bit, the big cousin, who was a bit older in the group, yelled, “Auntie Liu! We finished the fruits. Please get us some more.”

Looking at the empty fruit tray, Chu Xueyi said smilingly, “Auntie Liu is busy right now. I’ll go cut some fruit.”

Huo Wu also stood up behind Chu Xueyi, and said, “I’ll go with Sister Chu.”

When they got to the kitchen entrance, two helpers at the Huo mansion were having a conversation.

“My eight-year-old grandson has been watching a lot of Thomas & Friends recently. He even said that he wanted to be a train conductor when he grows up.” You could see an obvious smile and happiness on her face after saying those words. There were probably no parents who didn’t wish their children to become someone great in the future. So, this helper was very proud that her grandson had such a great ambition.

The helper next to her then exclaimed, “Talking about train conductors, I can’t help but think of Young Master Huo Mo. He was an excellent pilot about a decade ago when he was still alive; it’s probably been 14 years now since he’s passed away.”

The first helper said, “Why are you mentioning him? It’s the New Year!”

The other helper was unconvinced. “Why can’t I mention him? When Young Master Huo Mo was still alive, Young Master Yusen really admired him so much. I even remember him saying that he wanted to be a pilot as great as Young Master Huo Mo.”

“Unfortunately, heroes never live long. Nevermind, let’s not talk about him anymore. We won’t get anything good if the master hears us talk about him.”

After this sentence, both the helpers fell silent.

As Huo Wu and Chu Xueyi heard their conversation, they subconsciously stopped their steps. After a while, the two helpers walked out of the kitchen. When they saw the two standing outside, they didn’t know how to react, and whether or not they heard their conversation. But, of course, they won’t ask them about it; they smiled awkwardly and left in a hurry.

After the helpers left, Huo Wu tightened her lips and asked Chu Xueyi, “Sister Chu, did you know Huo Mo?”

Huo Wu had been curious about Huo Mo ever since she saw his and Huo Yusen’s photo in Huo Yusen’s study.

Huo Yusen and him seemed to have a very close relationship. But she didn’t seem to remember hearing his name, which meant that it was probably a taboo for anyone to mention him.

But since Chu Xueyi grew up with Huo Yusen, she should know him.

After a moment of silence, Chu Xueyi answered softly, “I knew him. He was your second uncle on your father’s side.”

Second Uncle?

Hearing this, Huo Wu’s heart gripped. “Then why have I never heard of him?”

Chu Xueyi tried to remember what happened and said, “Around a decade ago, at one of the flight exercises of the air force, there was an accident that caused the death of two pilots. And your uncle was one of them. At that time, you were only four, which is probably why you don’t remember anything about him.”

That was what happened!

This answer was out of Huo Wu’s expectation, but it was indeed reasonable.

The reason why Huo Yusen lost his dream was due to Huo Mo’s accident.

It could be because this topic was way too heavy, so it was obvious that Chu Xueyi didn’t want to talk too much about him.

Chu Xueyi then warned Huo Wu, “Don’t mention Huo Mo’s name in front of your grandpa. That is a taboo subject for Huo Ren.”

Grandpa Huo had objected to Huo Mo becoming a pilot from the start.

But it was Huo Mo’s dream and obsession to become a pilot since he was very young. So he went against Grandpa Huo’s wishes, got into the air force school, and became a proud pilot.

In his twenty years of career, he was glorious and received many awards. But it was regretful that his life ended because of it.

After hearing about Huo Mo’s past, Huo Wu’s heart was a bit heavy too.
