Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly, "In terms of both emotion and reason, you should make a call. Even if she is just a stranger, I don't want this matter to burden you. You don't need to compromise; do whatever you feel like doing."
Don't be morally coerced.
And don't force yourself to forgive her past actions because of Liu Huimin's gesture.
"I understand."
Qiao Xi scrolled through her call logs on her phone and dialed Liu Huimin's number.
The call was quickly connected.
"Xixi." Liu Huimin seemed to have a lot to say to her but didn't know where to start.
In the end, she only called her name.
Qiao Xi felt a slight bitterness in her throat and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me in such a critical moment."
On the other end, Liu Huimin's voice was choked, "I'm happy to do anything for you, as long as it can help you. Even if it costs me my life, it's worth it. If I hadn't lost you back then, you wouldn't have to endure so much hardship."
