Listening to her pretended to be relaxed tone, Huo Jinxi did not answer, but just raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek.
Not only was her tone relaxed, but the expression on her face was also relaxed. When she noticed his movements, she even smiled slightly.
In fact, both of them knew that the fact that they all went to check up on Sheng Lin at the same time represented their speculations.
Even though it is absurd, at present, this is the only inference they can draw.
"You won't tell?" Mu Qian tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "Then I'll tell you first?"
As she spoke, she tried to stand up, but Huo Jinxi hooked her waist and prevented her from getting up.
I don't know why, but when talking about her speculations, Mu Qian prefers to stay alone and talk about it from an independent perspective.
But Huo Jinxi wouldn't let her get up, so she paused and simply stopped forcing him.
Anyway, it's quite comfortable to sit on him like this.
She moved back slightly, leaned on Huo Jinxi's desk, slightly opened the distance between her and him, and then said: "Sheng Lin and my father should be old acquaintances. They were born in the same place.
, most likely we have known each other since childhood. Childhood sweethearts, or first love?"
"But after arriving in Tongcheng, they separated for various reasons. Sheng Lin met Lu Yuchuan, and my father met... Rong Qingzi."
"My father should still miss Sheng Lin in his heart, but Rong Qingzi launched a passionate pursuit of him. My father could not refuse. Coupled with the obstruction from external forces such as Uncle Huo, he chose to elope with Rong Qingzi."
"After Sheng Lin gave birth to Lu Yuan, she gradually saw the true face of Lu Yuchuan, so she chose to escape. Maybe intentionally, maybe unintentionally, in short, she and my father reunited in Huai City."
"Then..." After Mu Qian said this, she suddenly raised her face to look at him, and then smiled slightly, "You have me."
Such a shocking and frightening possibility, yet she spoke it out so calmly.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes for a moment, but held her hand tighter and waited for her to continue.
"My father should have concealed this matter very well, but later, Sheng Lin passed away. He had no choice but to bring me to Rong Qingzi."
"In Rong Qingzi's eyes, I should just be dad's 'old friend's daughter'. Dad loves me. Because she loves dad, she loves me too."
Having said this, Mu Qian lowered his eyes slightly, but the smile on his lips remained.
"Ten years passed like this, until dad left. She probably knew the truth, so she hated me to the core from then on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qian suddenly overturned her statement: "No, no, she doesn't hate me that much. After all, she didn't just leave me in a strange city. She brought me back to Tongcheng.
I left it in the Huo family... She can't help it. With my background, what other woman can face such a thing calmly? "
"Later, she went to the United States and lived a different life. She was taking revenge on my father and venting her anger and unwillingness... But she was so stupid. My father is dead. What's the point of such revenge?
What’s the use?”
When Mu Qian said this, she suddenly fell silent.
Huo Jinxi held her hand quietly for a long time before slowly speaking: "These are just your guesses."
After hearing this, Mu Qian suddenly laughed, "Isn't that what you think? Huo Jinxi, you must not only be calm and rational, but also honest!"
Without waiting for Huo Jinxi's answer, she continued: "This is the only guess that perfectly matches all the known conditions."
Why did Rong Qingzi's temperament change drastically after Mu Huaian's death, and her attitude toward her also completely changed;
Why does that unique jasmine flower appear in Mu Huaian's paintings?
Why does she have a pair of eyes that are very similar to Lu Yuan...
All these questions finally have reasonable explanations.
Huo Jinxi said nothing.
Because the inference Mu Qian made was also a guess in his mind.
Even though there is still a lack of actual evidence support, so many "known conditions" are already a kind of evidence.
Huo Jinxi couldn't understand her feelings personally, but he just couldn't bear it.
Would such a "new life experience" be better than "a life abandoned and rejected by one's biological mother"?
"Life is so wonderful." Mu Qian suddenly let out a long sigh, "I met Lu Yuan by chance, and my life was changed like this... Or is it just destiny?"
She obviously said this with a slight smile, but after saying it, her eyes suddenly lost focus.
The intercom phone on Huo Jinxi's desk rang at this moment.
After Huo Jinxi took a look, he reached out and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Huo." Zhuang Yan's voice came from the phone, "You have made an appointment with the president of Tenghai Group for a meeting. It's almost time."
When Mu Qian heard these words, she came to her senses and moved her body involuntarily away from Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi held her down again, and then said to Zhuang Yan on the other end of the phone: "Cancel all arrangements for this afternoon."
"Yes." Zhuang Yan replied without hesitation and quickly hung up the phone.
Then, Huo Jinxi looked at Mu Qian again and said slowly, "I will accompany you to see Rong Qingzi."
Mu Qian paused slightly after hearing this, looked at Huo Jinxi for a moment, and then slowly shook her head.
"I can't see her at this time." Mu Qian said, "I just stabbed her hard in the heart. If she sees me again, she will go crazy."
After she said this, she suddenly turned her head and pressed the internal line on the table.
"Zhuang Yan, don't cancel Mr. Huo's trip yet." Mu Qian said, "Everything will continue as usual."
Zhuang Yan listened on the other end of the phone and was completely confused, but he could only agree first.
Mu Qian finally stood up from Huo Jinxi, and then said: "I'm going to meet Lu Yuan first. As for you, a man who has been on a blind date with others and let others fall in love with you, you shouldn't
It’s convenient to show up, so you should stay in the company and do your business.”
…
For Mu Qian, making an appointment with Lu Yuan was quite easy.
She called him and after just a few words, Lu Yuan accepted her appointment.
The two met at an outdoor teahouse. When Mu Qian arrived, Lu Yuan was already sitting there.
Seeing Mu Qian, Lu Yuan just smiled and said, "You're here."
Mu Qian nodded, but after sitting down, she didn't speak for a while.
The two just sat facing each other, looking at each other, and were silent for a long time.
After a long time, Mu Qian finally broke the silence: "So, did you have doubts about our relationship when you saw me?"
