Mu Qian saw that Mr. Huo only persuaded her to go back, but she had no intention of going back, so she said, "Then it's useless for you to stay here? Come back with me."
"It's okay. Grandpa is in good spirits. Let's stay with him here." Mr. Huo said.
Mu Qian paused, sat down against Mr. Huo, held his arm and leaned on his shoulder, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either. I'll stay here with you."
After hearing this, Mr. Huo just smiled slightly and let her go. When he looked at the next lounge, he still frowned unconsciously.
Mu Qian seemed unaware and just leaned against Mr. Huo quietly without saying a word.
…
Huo Jinxi did not lose consciousness for long.
His always tense mental state did not relax even in the coma. He knew that he could not fall down.
When he woke up, he was in the lounge. He was the only one in the room. There was a hanging bottle hanging on the bedside, and the needle on the other end was stuck on the back of his hand.
Huo Jinxi slowly sat up and held his forehead with his hands.
His whole body was groggy, but his heart seemed extremely empty.
It's sad after all, but what's the use of being sad?
Huo Jinxi came to his senses, ripped off the needle in his hand, and shouted: "Qi Yuan!"
As soon as Qi Yuan heard the sound outside, he quickly ran over and opened the door, "Mr. Huo——"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the needle that was pulled off by Huo Jinxi, and was shocked, "Mr. Huo, how could you pull out the infusion needle by yourself!"
Huo Jinxi ignored him, pressed the needle with one hand, put on his shoes, and said in a deep voice: "We have a meeting with Europe tonight, are you ready?"
Qi Yuan did not answer, but turned to look behind him.
Huo Jinxi looked up and saw Mr. Huo, who had a face as deep as water, appearing at the door. Mu Qian supported Mr. Huo and lowered her gaze, not looking at him.
Mr. Huo looked at him and said, "I have already canceled the meeting for you. Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow have all been cancelled."
Huo Jinxi only frowned slightly after hearing this, "Grandpa, you have stopped asking about the company's affairs a long time ago."
"What I'm asking about now is not the company's business, it's your business!" Mr. Huo leaned heavily on the crutch in his hand, "Grandpa can't interfere with your business, can he?"
Huo Jinxi looked as usual and only replied: "Of course not."
"In that case, you should give me a good rest!" Mr. Huo looked at the dropped needle and said solemnly, "Since you don't want to rest here, then go home. Anyway, there are doctors and nurses at home at any time.
You don’t have to stay here to keep the employees guessing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the office. Huo Jinxi stood up and walked to the door. He saw Zhuang Yan walking in cautiously with a document. He said under pressure: "Mr. Huo, the Ministry of Finance has sent this up.
An urgent document that requires your signature..."
"How urgent is it?" Mr. Huo said sternly, "If you don't sign for two days, will Huo's company collapse?"
Hearing such words and seeing such an atmosphere, Zhuang Yan certainly knew that she came at the wrong time, but she was also forced, so she withdrew aggrievedly.
Seeing Mr. Huo losing his temper, Mu Qian quickly reached out and stroked his back, "Grandpa, why are you so fierce? You're scary!"
"I'm so fierce today!" Mr. Huo looked at Huo Jinxi, "If you don't want to rest, then I will personally come to Huo's to take charge! It's your choice."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi said slowly: "Isn't it just for rest? Such a small thing is worth losing your temper. I'll just go back."
After hearing this, Mr. Huo still looked at Qi Yuan with a stern face, "The work should be postponed and allocated. Before he recovers from his illness, I don't want him to interfere with anything in the company!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Yuan whispered carefully.
After agreeing to Mr. Huo, Qi Yuan looked at Huo Jinxi again, but received Huo Jinxi's dark gaze as always.
…
After the group left the Huo family and returned to the Huo family's old house, Huo Jinxi was given a needle again and was repeatedly told to rest.
After he actually lay down, the day finally stopped.
When Mu Qian took care of Mr. Huo to sleep, Mr. Huo still couldn't stop sighing.
"He has already fallen asleep, so don't worry." Mu Qian said.
Mr. Huo let out a long sigh and said, "It's all my fault... If I hadn't given him the task of revitalizing the family business, he wouldn't have been like this..."
Mu Qian chuckled lightly, "He is a workaholic, which is better than being a spendthrift."
"The problem is that he takes everything on himself and refuses to delegate power," Mr. Huo said.
"Why?" Mu Qian asked, "Afraid of causing internal strife?"
"Because he has been betrayed too many times." Mr. Huo replied, "so he doesn't want to trust people easily. Because once he trusts the wrong person, what he will face may be the tragedy of his family being destroyed. I told you that many times before, he
They are all wandering around the gate of hell, just a little bit away... Maybe there is no such person in the world now. So I don't blame him, it's all my fault..."
After Mr. Huo finished speaking, he sighed again.
Mu Qian couldn't help but think of Qi Yuan.
Huo Jinxi had told her before that Qi Yuan was an honest man and asked her not to provoke him all the time.
At that time, she was still wondering why he would keep such an honest person by his side instead of someone more transparent and clever, but it turned out to be because of this.
"Speaking of which, for all these years, he has never had a woman around him. It probably has something to do with this." Mr. Huo said, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Who can he trust easily?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Huo seemed to realize something and suddenly glanced at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian raised her eyes to look at him and smiled, "That's right. Women are seductive. You just don't trust people easily."
After hearing this, Mr. Huo still sighed helplessly.
…
Late at night, Mu Qian woke up from her sleep and went downstairs to find some water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the stairs, I bumped into someone - the honest man Qi Yuan.
She deliberately acted like she was frightened and was about to scream. The honest man stretched out his hand and covered her mouth, "Don't scream, I'm here to see Mr. Huo!"
Mu Qian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Isn't he resting?"
"If he could rest peacefully, it wouldn't be him." Qi Yuan said and glanced in the direction of the study.
Mu Qian followed his line of sight and saw the light coming from the crack in the study door.
"You commit crimes against the wind," Mu Qian said.
Qi Yuan sighed and said: "I am also helpless. I also hope that Mr. Huo can have a good rest, but how can he listen to my advice..."
After saying that, he suddenly looked at Mu Qian again.
Mu Qian glanced at him, took her cup and went downstairs.
