Hearing Huo Jinxi's words, Lu Yutao hadn't noticed anything yet. Lu Yujiang had already turned his head slightly and glanced at Ye Jinfan.
Lu Yuchuan didn't seem to have any reaction, but his eyes changed for a moment.
Ye Jinfan quickly laughed and said: "My parents left early, and I am the only relative of Xixi. As an elder brother, I should naturally take good care of her. Unfortunately, I still haven't done a good enough job..."
After saying that, Ye Jinfan picked up the wine glass in front of him, saluted Huo Jinxi, and drank the wine in one gulp with a chuckle.
Huo Jinxi touched his wine glass but did not drink it. He just said, "At least Ye Xi thinks you are the best. I think for her, this is enough."
Hearing this, Ye Jinfan chuckled again and his eyes calmly sank.
Huo Jinxi suddenly had a sense of taste and turned around to chat with Lu Yuchuan about other things.
Halfway through the meal, the cell phone that Huo Jinxi placed with Qi Yuan suddenly rang. After Qi Yuan took a look, he quickly handed the phone to Huo Jinxi, "Qi Ran."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi took the phone, said "Excuse me", got up and walked outside.
Seeing this, Lu Yuchuan smiled and said: "These days, it is really rare for a man to answer the phone from his wife and children during a dinner party."
After hearing this, Qi Yuan smiled slightly and said: "After all, we are two places apart, so it is inevitable that I will be worried."
Ye Jinfan also laughed when he heard this, turned to Lu Yuchuan and said, "Mr. Huo is a person who values affection and righteousness, especially his family members."
After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and simply said: "Very good."
After the meal was finished, Huo Jinxi left first, and Lu Yuchuan also left expressionlessly.
Lu Yutao looked at the direction in which Huo Jinxi's car disappeared and couldn't help but spit, "What the hell! He's so crazy!"
Lu Yujiang looked at him, then at Ye Jinfan beside him, and left with a sullen face without saying a word.
Ye Jinfan lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself without saying anything.
Lu Yutao then looked at him, "Will you come with me?"
"No." Ye Jinfan replied with a faint smile, "I have something else to do."
Lu Yutao nodded and was about to get in the car when he turned back to look at him and said, "Go back early and don't let Tangtang wait too late."
Ye Jinfan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and closed the car door for him.
Several people left one after another, and Ye Jinfan's car finally drove over. The assistant got out of the car and opened the door for him.
After getting in the car, the smile on Ye Jinfan's face completely faded.
Assistant Gu Yue noticed something immediately and said in a low voice: "Huo Jinxi and the Lu family have made peace?"
After a while, Ye Jinfan sneered and said, "Making peace? Do you really think Lu Yuchuan is some kind of soft persimmon?"
Gu Yue said: "Lu Yuchuan seems to be a gentle and rational person, but in fact he is determined to retaliate and is used to taking things by force. Huo Jinxi has made the Lu family look like this. He will not fail to hold grudges."
Ye Jinfan blew out a smoke ring and said with cold eyes: "As long as he remembers this revenge, that's enough."
The car drove for a long distance before Ye Jinfan realized that the car was heading towards the apartment where he and Lu Tang lived together.
He suddenly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and said, "Go to the south of the city."
Gu Yue listened and looked at each other with the driver. In the end, the car quickly turned around and drove towards the south of the city.
…
When Huo Jinxi returned to the Huo family's mansion, the lights inside were brightly lit.
There were two more cars parked in the parking lot, and it looked like someone was back.
Huo Jinxi didn't pay much attention at first, but he met Lin Shu as soon as he entered the gate. Lin Shu said to him: "Guess who is back?"
When Huo Jinxi heard this, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. When he turned to look at the hall, his heartbeat quickly returned to normal.
In the hall, Huo Xiaoxiao was sitting on the sofa holding Mr. Huo's hand and talking. When she saw Huo Jinxi, the expression on her face paused slightly, then she stood up and walked slowly to Huo Jinxi.
"Second brother." She called Huo Jinxi in a low voice and said, "I heard that auntie is not in good health. I will come back to see her."
Huo Jinxi glanced at her seriously, then raised his eyes at Mr. Huo who was sitting in the living room, and finally said "hmm" lightly.
Huo Xiaoxiao was exiled to Indonesia by him. She was the one who sneaked back this time, so she still felt unsure. Seeing Huo Jinxi respond to her, she laughed, "I bought a lot of specialties. Grandpa likes them."
Come on, second brother, come and have a taste."
"No need." Huo Jinxi replied, "I'll go upstairs and take a shower."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight upstairs. Lin Shu saw this and followed him upstairs.
Lin Shu didn't speak until she reached the second floor: "Looking at you, do you think Mu Qian is back?"
Huo Jinxi turned to look at her but said nothing.
In fact, at that moment, he clearly knew that it was impossible for Mu Qian to come back, but he still had an uncontrollable expectation in his heart.
As expected, there were no miracles.
When Lin Shu saw this, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "You clearly know that once she comes back, your mother's relationship with Ye Jingwei will no longer be hidden, but you still want her to come back..."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi turned to look at her, "What else? Should I expect that she will never come back again in my life?"
Lin Shu opened her mouth when she heard the words, but she really didn't know what to say.
She brought Huo Jinxi from childhood to adulthood, and when Huo Jinxi moved out of the Huo family for Qi Ran, she was the one who went out to accompany them.
She witnessed with her own eyes all the changes in Huo Jinxi from cheerful to withdrawn, and she also witnessed with her own eyes all the differences in Huo Jinxi's treatment of her since Mu Qian first returned to Tongcheng.
Huo Jinxi never showed his emotions on the surface, but she regarded him as her biological son, so she could clearly feel that Huo Jinxi's coldness and isolation had changed since the two got married.
No one knows better than her what Mu Qian means to Huo Jinxi.
And in the current situation, he is indeed the most dilemma.
Lin Shu said nothing more, and Huo Jinxi went straight back to his bedroom.
After taking a shower, he first went to Cheng Manshu's room to see Cheng Manshu, who was already asleep. Then he returned to his room, skillfully took out his mobile phone and projected the scene in the room in Philadelphia on the big screen.
.
Mu Qian is at home.
In fact, she is an active and quiet person. When she is active, a house will never trap her; but when she is quiet, it seems that she can stay in the house for ten days and a half without going out.
After arriving in Philadelphia, she seemed to always stay at home, rarely going out and spending most of her time walking back and forth in the house.
At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa, tutoring Huo Qiran who was sitting on the floor.
Huo Jinxi lay on the bed and looked at the almost silent picture quietly.
