Chapter 181 Leaving the Child on the Huo Family's Head
Mu Qian's heart was not disturbed. When facing Huo Jinxi's deep and calm gaze, she was only slightly surprised by the sudden answer.
Indeed, to him, what does it matter who the father of a dead child is?
Huo Jinxi looked at the smile on her lips and said in a low voice: "After all these years, I still dance so carelessly."
These words were light and gentle, just like what he said to her seven years ago, but there was more than seven years between them.
Mu Qian smiled and replied: "Mr. Huo just said that the people you taught would be good, and now he starts to criticize me. If you do this kind of self-defeating thing too much, won't your face hurt?"
Huo Jinxi remained unmoved on the surface, but the strength of his support on her waist and hands actually became much stronger.
Mu Qian didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of others, so she could only brace herself for this dance.
As soon as the dance was over, the audience burst into thunderous applause again.
Mu Qian was led by Huo Jinxi, holding her chest and bending down to express her gratitude to all the guests. When she raised her head, her eyes were full of shyness, and she clearly looked like a happy little woman, which attracted a lot of envy.
Shi Rou stood on the side of the stage, looking at the pair of beautiful ladies joining hands on stage to thank them, and always kept smiling and applauding.
Ye Jinfan was sitting among the guests, looking at the people on the stage, but he just smiled lightly and made no unnecessary movements.
Lu Tang, who was next to him, also didn't applaud. He just looked at him coldly, turned to glance at him, and said slowly: "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Ye Jinfan glanced at her and laughed, "Why am I jealous?"
"It seems you are very familiar with that Mu Qian." Lu Tang asked, "I thought you liked her!"
Ye Jinfan laughed again, put his hand on the back of her chair, and whispered: "It doesn't matter whether I like her or not. What matters is that you don't like her, right?"
Lu Tang snorted slightly and did not answer.
Ye Jinfan shook his head slightly and sighed: "Women... are really petty animals."
Lu Tang suddenly glared at him, "You say that again?"
Ye Jinfan looked at the undisguised coquettishness and arrogance on her face, smiled faintly, and then repeated what he meant with a smile, "What's wrong with you being stingy?"
Lu Tang stood up and was about to leave, but Ye Jinfan stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Stop making trouble, there are so many media here, how ugly would it be to be photographed by them?"
"Then tell me, am I prettier than that Mu Qian?" Lu Tang asked, looking up.
Ye Jinfan gently brushed a strand of hair on her shoulder and replied: "Well, you are prettier than her."
"Hmph, all men are liars." Lu Tang gritted his teeth slightly and looked at him, then said, "But I am confident, I am no worse than her."
After she finished speaking, she moved slightly closer to Ye Jinfan and kissed him gently on the corner of his lips.
On the stage, Mu Qian, who was being led off the stage by Huo Jinxi, accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, and her eyes darkened slightly.
Before the dinner was over, Huo Jinxi took Mu Qian to leave early.
On the way back, Mu Qian put the painting that Huo Jinxi had sent back to her on her knees, looked at it carefully and couldn't put it down.
Huo Jinxi saw this and said, "If you like painting so much, why don't you continue painting?"
She was influenced by her father since she was a child, and she has been immersed in the joy of painting since she was a child. After Mu Huaian's death, she never gave up painting during the years she lived in the Huo family. However, after she left the Huo family, she gave up painting.
.
He shouldn't have delved into the reason, but he asked out of control.
When Mu Qian heard this question, she was calm and replied: "Because I don't have time or leisure to paint anymore."
Huo Jinxi turned to look at her, "What did you use that time for?"
"Feed yourself." Mu Qian looked up at him and laughed, "Not everyone can be born with a golden key like Mr. Huo. I am lucky. I have a good friend who spares no effort to help me, but I also
You can’t rely on her for the rest of your life, right? Art is a luxury product, and for people who have trouble even living, how can they talk about art?”
Hearing her answer, Huo Jinxi turned away and said no more.
Mu Qian was happy to be quiet and continued to admire the painting in her hand.
Back at Huo's house, as soon as the two entered the door, they saw Huo Xiaoxiao walking down the stairs.
Huo Xiaoxiao only glanced at Mu Qian, then looked at Huo Jinxi and shouted: "Second brother."
"Come to see grandpa?" Huo Jinxi asked calmly.
"Yes." Huo Xiaoxiao replied, "Grandpa is not in good spirits today and has already rested. I will go back first."
As she spoke, she walked to the sofa and picked up her handbag. The moment she passed by Mu Qian, Mu Qian suddenly called her out: "Xiaoxiao."
Huo Xiaoxiao stopped and turned to look at her.
Mu Qian put down the painting in her hand, then turned to look at her, "Can you please stop harassing my friend?"
Huo Jinxi was sitting on the sofa. After hearing this, he slowly raised his eyes and looked deeply at the two women in front of him.
Huo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Who harassed your friend?"
"Maybe you think you don't have it," Mu Qian said, "but the constant tracking and investigation is a kind of harassment to my friends."
Huo Xiaoxiao had a contemptuous smile on her face. She crossed her arms and looked at Mu Qian, "If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of being investigated?"
"I'm not afraid." Mu Qian met her gaze, "I'll tell you everything you want to know. I just hope you won't pester my friend anymore."
"You believe me?" Huo Xiaoxiao turned around and walked to the sofa, sat down next to Huo Jinxi, and then looked up at Mu Qian again, "I know how capable you are, don't forget
We have been classmates for two years and alumni for six years."
"So?" Mu Qian asked.
"So? How many boys have been around you, how many men have you had ambiguous relationships with, do you think I won't know?" Huo Xiaoxiao said, "You were pregnant when you left the Huo family, and gave birth to a child the following year. Now the child is dead, and there is no evidence of his death.
You can say whatever you want, but if you plan to put this child on the Huo family, why should the Huo family recognize it for you?"
"Huo Xiaoxiao." Huo Jinxi suddenly said in a deep voice, "Shut up."
"Second brother, you want to believe her, but I don't!" Huo Xiaoxiao was not going to give up, "Not to mention other things, there were more than a dozen boys chasing her at the same time when she was a senior in high school. How can you be sure that she didn't have an affair with one or two of them?
Ran? Also, her good friend's brother, she has such a good relationship with Ye Xi, and Ye Jinfan is a playboy, so why is it so strange that he coaxed her into bed with just a few words? You don't even know who the brother and sister are.
