After hearing these words, Mu Qian slowly moved her steps, walked to the side of the wine cabinet, and tilted her head slightly to look at him.
Huo Jinxi didn't look at her and poured himself a glass of tequila.
Mu Qian smiled softly, "Aren't you trying to avoid Mr. Huo? Aren't you afraid that you will be unhappy when you see me?"
But since I've seen everything, it doesn't matter.
Mu Qian put down the bottle of red wine in her hand and stared at the bottle of tequila in Huo Jinxi's hand. Seeing him pour half the glass, Mu Qian reached out and took the glass, "Is this wine good?"
As she spoke, she brought the wine glass to her mouth.
Huo Jinxi raised his hand, grasped the bottom of the glass, and took the glass back easily.
"What's wrong, give me a sip?" Mu Qian looked at him, "Stingy."
Huo Jinxi turned around and walked upstairs.
Mu Qian paused, then raised her feet to follow him.
This was the first time they met after returning from the island. After that time they broke up on bad terms, and after the Ye Jingwei incident resurfaced, the atmosphere was a little weird.
Mu Qian followed him upstairs and followed him all the way to the study door. Huo Jinxi stopped and she bumped into him.
Huo Jinxi then looked back at her. Mu Qian rubbed her nose and looked up at him, "It hurts..."
"Is something wrong?" Huo Jinxi asked calmly.
"I want to talk to you." Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi opened the study door and replied without looking back: "I'm not free."
Mu Qian glanced into the study room. The computer screen was flashing with fluorescent lights, and there was a pile of documents next to it.
It can be seen that in order to go home and have this meal today, he had to postpone all his work.
Mu Qian looked away, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
Seeing her smile, Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes.
"Do you feel that the scene tonight seems a bit familiar?" Mu Qian said.
As soon as she said it, Huo Jinxi understood what she meant.
Seven years ago, after Ye Jingwei's accident, she was so frightened that she lost her mind and hid in her room all day and night. It was not until he came home the next day that she finally walked out of the room and stood in front of him.
Not for anything else, just to show him my innocence and to tell him my love feelings that I haven't had time to formally tell him yet.
But he didn't want to hear it, and even her admiration was only met with ridicule.
The past that they once thought was so far away suddenly appeared before their eyes as if it were yesterday.
Mu Qian was lost for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses, "You didn't want to listen to me back then, and you still don't want to hear it now, right?"
"I've already said the reason." Huo Jinxi, "Besides, I'm really not interested in what you say."
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh again.
Is this because she can't speak well?
"If you don't listen, how do you know what I will say?" Mu Qian looked at him, "You are not free now, right? Then I will wait until you are free, no matter how late."
After saying this, Mu Qian looked at him again, then turned and walked towards her room.
Huo Jinxi glanced at her back, turned around and walked into the study. After sitting down behind the desk, he faced the half-read documents before but did not move for a long time.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand to hold his eyebrows, drink the wine in the glass, and concentrate on himself.
Late at night, the cell phone he placed next to him suddenly rang.
Huo Jinxi came to his senses and answered the phone. Qi Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Huo, we just received news from Haicheng that Mr. Xu is critically ill!"
Huo Jinxi's eyes suddenly focused.
Xu Canghai, the leader of the Xu family in Haicheng, can be regarded as his mentor.
When he first took charge of the Huo family, it was in turmoil. It was Xu Canghai who helped him along the way and made the Huo family what it is today.
He respected Xu Canghai very much. He even went to visit him when he was passing through Haicheng a few days ago. At that time, the old man's health was not very optimistic. He didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
"Mr. Xu's lawyer said that the old man hopes that you can rush over, otherwise I am afraid something will happen and the old man will die in peace."
Huo Jinxi slowly closed his eyes.
Xu Canghai worked hard for half his life to build up the family business, but none of his children were successful, and they often fought for the family business. Mr. Xu had great trust in him, and he had entrusted him with it early in the morning, hoping that he could take care of the Xu family more in a hundred years.
"Arrange the plane and prepare everything." Huo Jinxi said, "I may have to stay in Haicheng for a few days."
Within half an hour after hanging up the phone, Huo Jinxi was ready to leave home.
Knowing that the matter was urgent, Qi Yuan was also very fast. When Huo Jinxi came downstairs, he was already waiting in front of the building and his car was ready.
He reached out to take Huo Jinxi's luggage, and after putting it away, he saw that Huo Jinxi hadn't gotten in the car yet, but was looking at a location in the main building.
"Mr. Huo?" Qi Yuan called him in a low voice.
Huo Jinxi came to his senses and got into the car.
The car slowly drove away from the Huo family's mansion, and behind him, the window of Mu Qian's room still shone brightly.
She said that she would wait for him no matter how late.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Canghai suddenly passed away and passed away.
As soon as he left, the Xu family was in chaos.
Huo Jinxi stayed in Haicheng for three days, completing everything that Mr. Xu told him - taking care of the old man's funeral, temporarily quelling the conflict between the Xu family brothers and sisters, and electing a new group chairman for the Xu family. Every single thing
It was all a stressful matter. Qi Yuan felt exhausted just following him around, let alone Huo Jinxi.
On the return flight, Qi Yuan couldn't help but fall asleep. When he was about to land, he suddenly woke up and saw that Huo Jinxi was still sitting peacefully, seemingly reading the documents along the way.
"Mr. Huo, you didn't sleep all night last night, please take a rest." Qi Yuan couldn't help but whispered.
Huo Jinxi turned his head and looked out the window at the increasingly clear outline of the city.
In fact, he has never been in the habit of sleeping on airplanes, and this time was no exception.
Even though he was exhausted to the extreme, the closer he got to Tongcheng, the more sober he became.
After getting off the plane, Huo Jinxi returned to Jiangnan Mansion first.
Lin Shu was cleaning the room. When she saw him, she immediately came forward distressedly and said, "You're back? Are you exhausted? I'll put some water in for you to take a bath. After taking a bath, take a good rest."
Huo Jinxi went upstairs, but did not see Huo Qiran.
"Where's Qi Ran?"
"I went to the old man's place," Lin Shu said. "The old man has been in a bad mood for the past two days. He moved back to the nursing home and asked someone to take Qi Ran there. He probably wanted to relieve his boredom."
Huo Jinxi suddenly noticed something, paused slightly while untying his tie, and turned to look at her, "What happened?"
"Oh, you don't know yet, right?" Lin Shu said while arranging his clothes, "That girl Mu Qian finally left and went back to the United States. The plane she got on in the morning should be almost landing now, right?
