Huo Jinxi stood on the corridor, looking at Mu Qian from a distance without moving.
Qi Yuan came from another direction and saw Mu Qian first. When he was about to walk over, he saw Huo Jinxi again.
Seeing this situation, he immediately did not dare to step forward.
At this moment, someone suddenly came out of the house, seemingly ready to go up and talk to Huo Jinxi. Seeing this, they hurried over.
The man was introducing himself to Huo Jinxi, but Huo Jinxi's eyes always stayed on Mu Qian. Qi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop the man and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo is not free now. What can I do for you?"
Talk later."
"But……"
The man obviously didn't want to give up yet, but Huo Jinxi didn't even look at him and walked slowly towards Mu Qian.
Qi Yuan quickly pulled the man into the house.
Until Huo Jinxi walked up to him, Mu Qian still maintained the previous posture, sitting there quietly and not looking at him.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand and gently raised her head.
Her makeup is still exquisite and bright, but her eyes are as cool and empty as ever.
At that moment, Huo Jinxi knew that he had finally seen the real Mu Qian.
She didn't cry, laugh, or act, she just looked at him expressionlessly, and finally pushed his hand away, "I want to be alone."
After saying this, she stood up and walked straight past him.
Huo Jinxi still stood there and allowed her to leave quietly.
Mu Qian walked all the way out of the manor, walked to the street, and gradually walked to the most prosperous area of the city.
Cars were coming and going, and people were buzzing. She sat on a bench on the street, ignoring a few waves of people who came up to chat with her, and quietly looked at the hustle and bustle in front of her.
It was already late at night when Ye Xi received the message and rushed there.
The bustle on the street has dissipated and the night is gradually becoming calmer. Mu Qian is still sitting there motionless, like a sculpture.
Ye Xi brought a windbreaker. When she saw Mu Qian, she immediately stepped forward and put the clothes on her, "What's wrong? What happened?"
It took a while for Mu Qian to come back to her senses. After seeing the person in front of her clearly, she smiled slightly, pulled Ye Xi to sit next to her, and then rested her head on her shoulder.
"Don't scare me!" Ye Xi held her cold hand, "What's going on?"
After a long time, Mu Qian spoke softly: "She would rather go to jail than let me help her."
Ye Xi suddenly understood and blurted out in anger and urgency: "Is she sick? What on earth does she want?"
Mu Qian was silent for a long time, but suddenly laughed out loud.
"That's fine." Mu Qian said, "From now on, I really have nothing to lose. It's fine that I can come and go naked without worries."
Ye Xi was startled suddenly, and her eyes turned red almost instantly, "Qianqian——"
"Maybe this is my life." Mu Qian said, "I admit it."
Ye Xi turned her face and tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.
On the side of the road, a black car parked quietly for a long time.
In the car, Huo Jinxi looked at Mu Qian's figure with deep eyes, which was also like a sculpture.
That night, Mu Qian and Ye Xi returned home and stayed at Ye's house for one night.
The next morning, Ye Xi deliberately asked Mu Qian to sleep a little longer, but Mu Qian woke up early, randomly picked out some of Ye Xi's clothes, put them on, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Ye Xi was watching the news downstairs. When she saw Mu Qian coming downstairs, she was startled, "Why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"No." Mu Qian brushed her hair, "I want to eat something to accompany grandpa."
Breakfast was quickly served, and Mu Qian quietly ate fried dough sticks and porridge, as calmly as if nothing had happened.
Ye Xi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "What are you going to do next? Will you stay in Tongcheng?"
Mu Qian nodded, "Grandpa is getting old and his health is not good. How long can I stay with him? Once I send grandpa away, the world is so big, and I can go wherever I want."
Ye Xi couldn't help but pause slightly when she heard that she was talking about sending Mr. Huo away so easily.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qian looked at her and laughed, "Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. They are inevitable. You know it will happen, so you can only accept it."
Ye Xi paused for a moment, then added: "I can go wherever I want, what about me? You are not going to pay attention to me, are you?"
Mu Qian held her chin and looked at her, "In the future, if you fall in love, get married, and have children, I'm afraid you won't have time to care about me."
After hearing this, Ye Xi suddenly fell silent and lowered her head to take a sip of porridge.
Mu Qian's eyes suddenly fell on her neck, and then she stretched out her hand to brush away Ye Xi's hair that was draped on her shoulders.
There was a clear hickey on Ye Xi's neck.
"You have a boyfriend?" Mu Qian asked, "You didn't tell me?"
Only then did Ye Xi realize something, and she covered her neck with some hindrance, "No."
"No?" Mu Qian looked at her, "Then where did this thing come from? What do you have to hide from me? Are you shady? Male publicist? Or 419?"
Ye Xi sighed, and then said: "I'm not sure yet... I'll bring it out to you when I am sure."
Seeing her look like that, Mu Qian didn't ask any more questions.
…
The 26th floor of Huo Group was busy early in the morning, but Qi Yuan arrived late.
After going upstairs, Qi Yuan went straight into Huo Jinxi's office.
"Miss Mu stayed at Ye's house for one night yesterday, and went to the nursing home to accompany the old man again this morning." Qi Yuan reported the situation to Huo Jinxi, "She looked very calm, as if nothing happened."
Huo Jinxi was rarely able to relax. He held a cigarette between his fingertips and sat in a chair quietly looking at the scenery outside the window. When he heard Qi Yuan's report, he just responded lightly.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan turned around and prepared to go out. Unexpectedly, he just opened the door of the office and saw Huo Bainian standing at the door.
Seeing Huo Bainian's gloomy expression, Qi Yuan quickly turned to look at Huo Jinxi, "Mr. Huo, Director Huo is here."
Huo Jinxi did not look back. Huo Bainian motioned for Qi Yuan to go out, then closed the door and walked in.
"What did you do to your Aunt Rong?" Huo Bainian asked straight to the point as soon as he came in.
The purpose of his visit was obvious. Huo Jinxi turned around and put out his cigarette in the ashtray. Then he looked at Huo Bainian and said, "What can I do? She registered the company and signed the contract. As for Huo, it's her who signed the contract."
victim."
"You framed her!" Huo Bainian slammed the table, "What do you want to do? She is a member of our Rong family, and you actually want to send her to jail?"
"I don't care at all whether she is from the Rong family or not." Huo Jinxi said, "As for going to jail, she pleaded guilty on her own and willingly, and I will definitely make it happen for her."
