On the same morning, there was a quiet scene in the Huo family's magnificent mansion.
When Huo Yunqing, the youngest daughter of the Huo family, walked into the hall, she only saw Huo's wife, Cheng Manshu, sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, holding a tablet in her hand and flipping through something.
"Sister-in-law." Huo Yunqing came over, "Aren't you going to have dinner with dad today? Why are you at home alone?"
Cheng Manshu put down the tablet in his hand and replied lukewarmly: "Everyone has his own business and has gone out. Didn't you come back alone?"
"Pingzhang also had something to do temporarily and couldn't come." Huo Yunqing saw that her expression was not good, and she tilted her head slightly to look at the tablet she had just put down, "What are you sitting here by yourself and reading?"
"What else can there be?" Cheng Manshu replied solemnly, "The Huo family has been completely embarrassed!"
When Huo Yunqing heard this, he quickly understood: "Mu Qian? I also watched the interview. Didn't she already clarify that she has nothing to do with Jin Xi? This is not good, so that Jin Xi will not have a relationship with her for no reason. Everyone in the family
You still have to look up to her."
Cheng Manshu glanced at her, "Do you really think Mu Qian is so easy to get rid of?"
"Are you worried that she will continue to pester Jin Xi?" Huo Yunqing said, "If that's the case, why would she let go of the name of the future young lady of the Huo family?"
Cheng Manshu sneered, "How could I know the tricks of these vixens?"
After hearing this, Huo Yunqing suddenly nodded and thought: "Speaking of which, when she comes back this time, everyone can see that her thoughts and methods are not simple, otherwise these things would not have happened. It's no wonder that her father and elder brother are protecting her.
, what can be done?”
Speaking of this, Cheng Manshu seemed even more anxious, frowning and reaching out to hold his forehead.
Huo Yunqing was quiet for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, "Hey, it's better to find someone else to marry her off to. Let her harm other people's families. It's better than harming the Huo family."
Cheng Manshu sneered: "Do you think dad and Bainian will let her marry anyone she wants?"
"I didn't say let her marry casually." Huo Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "There are so many wealthy families in Tongcheng, why are you worried about not being able to find one that your father and elder brother like?"
…
Mu Qian returned to the Huo family's old house at noon, just in time to have lunch with Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo didn't have any problem with her staying out all night, but he had a big problem with the interview she accepted yesterday.
"Is it because you knew Qi Ran was Jin Xi's biological child and you were angry, so you said it had nothing to do with him?" Mr. Huo asked.
Mu Qian peeled a shrimp and put it in the old man's bowl. He sighed helplessly: "Grandpa, am I such a stingy person?"
"Then tell me, why did you say that?" The old man used chopsticks to push away the shrimp she gave her, without giving him any face.
"Isn't this for the Huo family?" Mu Qian said, "I don't have a good reputation. I might do something in the future. Being associated with your grandson will only cause the Huo family to suffer losses."
Mr. Huo picked up his chopsticks and hit Mu Qian on the head, "That's nonsense!"
"Between your grandson and I, the man doesn't love the girl and the girl doesn't. It's just your wishful thinking." Mu Qian said, "Don't mess with the relationship."
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter suddenly came from outside the door: "What are you talking about, talking so enthusiastically?"
Mu Qian turned around and saw Huo Yunqing walking in with a smile on her face, calling "Dad", then looking at Mu Qian and shouting: "Qian Qian."
The corners of Mu Qian's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.
This little aunt never had a good look towards her, but it was strange that she was so amiable today.
Mu Qian quickly responded with a smile: "Little aunt, why are you here by yourself?"
"Isn't today the fifteenth day?" Huo Yunqing sat down at the dining table, "I made an appointment to have dinner with your grandfather, but no one was free, so I came here by myself. Dad, why did you move back to the old house?
?It’s so deserted, it’s not easy for everyone to have a meal with you.”
Mr. Huo is probably still angry with Mu Qian, and he doesn't have a good look towards this little daughter who has always been doting on him. "I don't need your company. I can do whatever I want to do."
Huo Yunqing had always been the best at pleasing the old man. He had coaxed the old man with a few words. After a few bites of the meal, the topic turned to Mu Qian.
"Qianqian, my aunt originally thought that what happened between you and Jin Xi was true. She was originally happy for you two. Who knew that you suddenly announced that it was false? It really made me happy in vain."
Mu Qian bit her chopsticks and listened to Huo Yunqing's words, trying not to laugh out loud.
"But that's okay." Huo Yunqing said, "Auntie has a lot of resources for high-quality single young men. Can I introduce one to you later?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, thank you little aunt for taking the trouble!"
"Why are you being polite?" Huo Yunqing said, "The girl who grew up in our family is so beautiful. There are many single men in Tongcheng. You can choose her."
Mr. Huo slowly closed his eyes and pretended not to see.
…
Huo's Building.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on the weekend, the atmosphere in the high-rise conference room on the top floor was very solemn.
The meeting had lasted for a full five hours, and all the participants sitting inside had pale faces and nervously stared at the computers in front of them.
The rejected plan required face-to-face revision, rejection and revision again and again. The only person who could do such a thing was probably the strict CEO of the Huo Corporation in front of me.
Huo Jinxi sat on the chairman's seat, listening to the new round of recommendations with a stern expression.
An elderly senior executive next to him winked secretly at Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan also knew that it was really hard for everyone to hold a five-hour meeting, so he waited for this round of promotions to be approved mercilessly by Huo Jinxi.
He carefully asked him for instructions: "Mr. Huo, it's already past two o'clock. Everyone hasn't had lunch. You may not have enough energy at this moment. Why don't you continue after lunch?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jinxi's mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Huo Jinxi took the phone and took a look. It was a text message from Mu Qian.
"My little aunt said she would introduce me to my boyfriend on a blind date, what do you think? As long as you say you don't agree, I won't go."
Huo Jinxi read the text message on both sides, put away the phone, and said in a deep voice: "Continue."
Zhuang Yan could not help but shrink his neck and did not dare to speak any more.
A meeting originally scheduled for three hours lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone who was facing exhaustion and collapse was finally able to leave.
After this meeting, Huo Jinxi had another meeting with the European branch until evening, and spent the whole day in the office.
At eight o'clock in the evening, his cell phone rang again, this time it was a call from Rong Heng.
Knowing that he was busy with work, Rong Heng rarely approached him. Huo Jinxi answered the phone and heard Rong Heng's voice: "Second brother, what is your Mu Qian doing? Why did she have a blind date with my brother?
