Chapter 179 Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand towards her
Two days later, on Saturday afternoon, when Mu Qian was about to go out, she suddenly received a call from Ye Xi.
"Qianqian, are you okay?" Ye Xi asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hearing her voice, Mu Qian couldn't help but chuckle, "Should I ask you this question? You left the country without saying a word and wandered alone. Do you have enough to eat? Are you dressed warmly?"
"Mu Qian!" Ye Xi ignored her teasing and said, "I met my former landlord today..."
The previous landlord? Mu Qian thought of the house that Ye Xi helped settle after she arrived in Philadelphia, "You went to Philadelphia?"
"Yes." Ye Xi said, "The landlord told me that someone was asking her about our previous living conditions."
When Mu Qian heard this, she was not surprised or surprised. She just responded lightly, "Really?"
"I also made a special trip back to the surrounding area and met a few of my former neighbors." Ye Xi said, "The investigators also asked them about it. If you can contact your classmates, maybe they have the same information.
reward."
Mu Qian listened and said slowly: "If someone wants to check me, they will naturally look in these directions. It's not surprising."
"Who is it? Huo Jinxi?" Ye Xi asked, "What he meant by publishing that letter was that he had already acquiesced that Xiaoxiao was his child. If that was the case, why did he still check on you? He didn't believe you?
"
"Are there any other situations?" Mu Qian didn't answer her question, but just asked.
Ye Xi paused and said slowly: "I always feel like someone is following me. I don't know if it was sent by my brother... but it may also be someone who is investigating you and wants to get information about you from me.
.”
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but frown slightly, and then said: "If you see Brother Ye, then I will ask him for you."
Ye Xi seemed to sigh faintly, and Mu Qian got into the car and said, "Why are you sighing? You did a good job this time. If he really doesn't have that sincerity, then there is really no need to continue to struggle with him.
"
Ye Xi didn't respond. Hearing the sound of her getting into the car, she asked, "Are you going out? Where are you going?"
"Z Magazine held a fashion charity dinner." Mu Qian replied, "Someone just happened to give me an invitation. I want to go and have fun and get to know more people."
Ye Xi understood her and didn't say anything. She just reminded her: "Anyway, you have to be careful and don't let Huo Jinxi have the opportunity to hurt you again."
After hearing this, Mu Qian just smiled slightly.
Charity dinners organized by such fashion magazines have always been dominated by celebrities, but there are also social celebrities. The entire venue is star-studded, and the camera can capture it at will, as if every picture can ignite the topic.
Even so, Mu Qian's appearance still attracted a lot of attention.
As the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, a topic of discussion some time ago, and the person to whom Huo Jinxi made public confessions, how could the reporters let her go?
However, unexpectedly, the reporters' questions were all related to her wedding to Huo Jinxi, and no one mentioned the topic of having a daughter out of wedlock that had been a hot topic some time ago.
Mu Qian answered the questions without missing a beat and quickly entered the banquet.
Social interaction has always been Mu Qian's strong point, and with the big name Huo Jinxi behind her, even though she didn't know many people present, she was always very lively around her, and she didn't have to worry about companions or topics.
But Mu Qian didn't expect that she would bump into Ye Jinfan on this occasion.
Ye Jinfan did not come alone. He had a proud and beautiful girl on his arm. She was not a celebrity, but Mu Qian still recognized her at a glance - it was Lu Tang, a socialite who was often active on social media.
Seeing Mu Qian, Ye Jinfan quickly said a few words to Lu Tang, and then walked towards Mu Qian alone.
Miss Lu Tang naturally looked at Mu Qian with a sharper look.
Mu Qian looked away, and Ye Jinfan had already come to her, looking at her with a smile, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"I didn't expect to meet Brother Ye here." Mu Qian shrugged, "After all, Ye Zi's whereabouts are still unknown, Brother Ye actually wants to come to such an occasion to socialize... But your female companion is quite beautiful, it's worth it.
"
After hearing this, Ye Jinfan sighed slightly and said, "Qianqian, I'm just an ordinary person. There are some things that I can't do anything about."
"What about?" Mu Qian asked.
Ye Jinfan took a step closer to her, lowered his voice slightly and said: "Someone has been checking me recently. If I guess correctly, they are trying to start with me and Zi Zi to check things related to you. You know, Zi Zi and I
Although the relationship does not violate any ethics, once the outside world knows about it, it will also lead to a bloody storm."
After hearing this, Mu Qian's eyes flickered.
She was about to say something else when suddenly there was an unusual commotion in the venue. Mu Qian was keen and immediately raised her head and looked around, but she didn't expect to see Huo Jinxi walking in from the entrance.
After a relatively relaxed period in the past, Huo had several big projects during this period. Huo Jinxi became busy again. Although Mu Qian didn't care what time he came home, she still often slept until late at night and woke up.
, to see him once.
Occasionally, Huo Jinxi would toss her if he was in a good mood, but most of the time he spent in the study.
And at this moment, Huo Jinxi actually appeared here in formal attire?
Mu Qian looked at the black hand-sewn suit he was wearing. It was obviously not the one he wore when he went out in the morning. It could be seen that he also respected the occasion and came here specially.
Huo Jinxi walked in and was surrounded by people who came up to say hello to him. Mu Qian's position was slightly to the inside, and she didn't know if Huo Jinxi had seen her.
Ye Jinfan also noticed Huo Jinxi, and then looked at Mu Qian, "Could it be him?"
"What?" Mu Qian was distracted for a moment and asked.
Ye Jinfan glanced at her and said slowly: "Could it be him who wants to investigate what happened in the past?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian chuckled lightly and replied: "It's okay with him or not. Don't worry, I won't harm you and Ye Zi."
"What are you talking about?" Ye Jinfan said, "Zi Zi and you have been close since childhood. Although we have only known each other for a short time, I have heard her mention your name since childhood, and naturally she treats you as her sister. It's your business
, it’s also my business.”
Mu Qian laughed and said, "No, my business is my business, and neither you nor Ye Zi should be involved."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huo Jinxi in the crowd beginning to politely refuse the people around her who came up to talk. She looked directly in the direction where she was and walked over at a steady pace.
So he knew she was here?
As Mu Qian thought, Huo Jinxi had already walked up to her, glanced at Ye Jinfan, and stretched out his hand to her.
