Chapter 167 That year, Huo Jinxi was 24 years old

In 2008, Huo Jinxi was 24 years old. He was still more than a year away from officially taking over the Huo family. He was still a typical young man from an aristocratic family. Although he had already joined the company, he did not have much free time. Most of the time he still followed a few people.

The two boys hang out together, they are good at eating, drinking and having fun, and they don't care about family affairs.

That afternoon, he came out of the company and was going to attend a small party, but unexpectedly saw Mu Qian on the road.

Mu Qian was 16 years old and had just entered high school. It was the stage of youthful agitation, worry and melancholy. When Huo Jinxi saw her, she was having an affair with a boy on the side of the road.

Both of them were still wearing school uniforms, so they were very conspicuous on the side of the road. Huo Jinxi saw this and stepped on the brakes.

He and Mu Qian didn't actually know each other very well at that time - she was a little girl living in the Huo family, and was treated as his own granddaughter by Mr. Huo. She should have called him second brother like several cousins ​​in the family.

But she never shouted.

Like all children who depend on others, Mu Qian has a sensitive and fragile self-esteem. She carefully maintains this self-esteem and lives like an invisible person most of the time.

No matter how unfamiliar they were, they were still family members. Huo Jinxi pulled over and stopped the car, looked at the two people who were still arguing, and shouted: "Hey, do you want to help?"

When Mu Qian raised her head and saw him, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She broke away from the boy and ran to his car, opened the door and got in.

But the boy still didn't give up. He took two steps towards the car and looked at Huo Jinxi in the car. Then he stopped hesitantly and looked at Mu Qian, "Qianqian, who is he? Why did you get in his car?

?”

"It's none of your business." Mu Qian hugged her schoolbag and didn't even look at the boy. She just bit her lip and said, "Don't follow me anymore!"

Huo Jinxi didn't bother to negotiate too much with the little boy, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car away from here.

Mu Qian remained motionless holding her schoolbag, bowing her head in silence for a long time, and then finally said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Huo Jinxi was driving, and when he heard these words, he smiled slightly and turned to look at her, "Your little boyfriend?"

"No." Mu Qian denied without hesitation.

"No?" Huo Jinxi chuckled, "As a high school student, it's normal to fall in love. You don't have to be afraid that I will sue you."

"No!" Mu Qian finally raised her head and looked at him with a slight frown, her eyes full of seriousness and grievance.

Huo Jinxi clearly received the anger transmitted from her, and was a little surprised for a moment - she had always been quiet, but he didn't expect that she was still a child with a temper.

After being stunned for a moment, Huo Jinxi laughed and said, "Okay, if it's not, then it's not."

After Huo Jinxi said this, he was about to find a place nearby to put her down. Who knew that before he could find a suitable place, Mu Qian suddenly spoke in a low voice: "I have nothing to do with him in the first place. The teacher insists."

He said that I fell in love with him prematurely, and he still talked nonsense in front of the teacher——"

She gritted her teeth slightly, and although her voice was low, her tone was angry and urgent. She was obviously aggrieved to the extreme.

This was not a big deal at first. After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just smiled slightly and said, "Okay, give me your teacher's phone number later and I'll call him to talk to him."

After hearing this, Mu Qian lowered her head and fell silent again. It wasn't until Huo Jinxi looked at her again that she spoke: "There's no use calling, the teacher said to ask the parents."

Huo Jinxi had already heard the meaning of her words, but he just laughed and said, "So what?"

Mu Qian paused, bit her lip and said no more.

When Huo Jinxi turned to look at her again, he saw that the tip of her nose was slightly red and her eyes were looking straight ahead, as if she had no intention of saying anything else to him.

Huo Jinxi was once again amused by this silent and stubborn little girl, and slowly said, "Okay, if you call me second brother, I will go to your school to meet your teacher next Monday."

Mu Qian turned to look at him. Huo Jinxi raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting to hear her "second brother".

But Mu Qian never shouted.

Fortunately, she was a pretty girl. If she were ugly or a boy, he wouldn't have the patience to tease her.

Seeing that she always looked glum and silent, Huo Jinxi took her directly to the party without stopping halfway.

The party was organized by Ning Weian, one of Huo Jinxi's friends. The reason was that he had recently been chasing an amateur model named Qi Qiao, and he was so successful that he opened a bridal shop for her. It will officially open tomorrow, so today he will do it one day in advance.

A small party, invite familiar friends to have a good time together.

Huo Jinxi didn't know the specific situation until he arrived at the scene. What's more important was that each of the women present was wearing a wedding dress, which was breathtakingly white.

Seeing this formation, Huo Jinxi felt depressed. When he turned around and wanted to leave, he was stopped abruptly.

They all often played together. How could Ning Weian let him go so easily? Even Mu Qian, who was in the car with him, was pulled out and looked at carefully.

"Huo Jinxi, you have gone too far!" Ning Wei'an looked at Mu Qian and said, "This little girl is still wearing her high school uniform. Isn't this a crime?"

Mu Qian blushed slightly, lowered her head and stood behind him.

"Get lost." Huo Jinxi responded to him, "This is my sister. She grew up in our house. Don't mess around."

"Sister?" Ning Wei'an never acted properly and still tilted his head to look at Mu Qian, "I don't know which sister of yours? Could it be that she is a child bride?"

Upon hearing such words, Mu Qian's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around and walked out.

When Huo Jinxi saw this, he couldn't help but push Ning Weian. Qi Qiao, the hostess on the side, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qian, "Sister, don't be angry, that person has no control over his words. In the end,

I like to talk nonsense. Come, sister will take you in to play!"

Huo Jinxi saw Mu Qian being brought into the store by a group of women, and then sat down in the small garden outside to chat and drink with a group of friends.

Not long after, the women who accompanied Mu Qian in gradually came out, but Mu Qian was nowhere to be seen.

After all, it was he who brought the person. Huo Jinxi was still paying attention. After seeing Qi Qiao, he asked her: "Where did you take the person to me?"

Qi Qiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "The little girl is shy when she puts on her wedding dress and doesn't want to come out to play, so let her take a good look in the mirror inside!"

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was doubtful. After a while, Mu Qian was still missing, so he finally went into the store to look for her.

Finally he saw Mu Qian in the locker room.

She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress with spaghetti straps. Compared with the group of women outside, she didn't wear heavy makeup or show off. She just sat quietly in the corner, lowering her eyes in silence.
