Getting Huo Tian's promise was a pleasant surprise for Xi Cheng.
He smiled and said, "Didn't you say just now that you were going to stand on your mother's side? Why are you agreeing to help me now?"
Huo Tian argued, "This doesn't conflict at all. Mom has never forgotten you, and you've never made any principle-based mistakes. According to my estimations, there's a high chance that the two of you will get back together. Therefore, it's not a big deal for me to help you a little. If Mom makes up her mind to ignore you, I won't let her be sad either."
Xi Cheng suddenly had a feeling that even if he were to be accepted by this pair of mother and daughter again, his status in the family wouldn't be too high.
However, even though he could predict that his family's status was going to be low, Xi Cheng was still filled with anticipation for that kind of future.
