Mu Qian took her cell phone and said "hello" twice, but there was still no sound on the other end of the phone.
This situation was quite strange. Mu Qian woke up instantly. After a moment of silence, he slowly sat up and tapped the receiver of his cell phone.
Still no response from the other end of the phone.
Mu Qian hung up the phone decisively and called back.
The call still went through, but despite the receiver beeping numerous times, no one answered.
Mu Qian hung up the phone, but couldn't fall asleep again.
In the middle of the night, an unknown number and a silent phone call, isn't this a plot only found in horror movies?
She has lived in this house for so many days, is there a ghost story going to be staged today?
Mu Qian found it a bit funny, but after laughing, her mind suddenly recalled the figure she saw in the supermarket today.
During the day, a figure that looked very much like Ye Xi appeared in front of her;
At night, a silent call came to her mobile phone.
Is it a coincidence?
If not, what do these two things mean?
Mu Qian couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she lifted up the quilt and stood up, walking barefoot on the ground, trying to use the temperature of the ground to wake herself up.
Unknowingly, she opened the door and went downstairs. When she walked to the wine cabinet in the living room, she stopped and poured herself a glass of wine.
The red wine slowly flowed into the cup, but Mu Qian was still thinking about the phone call in her mind. When she was lost in thought, her cell phone suddenly rang again.
Mu Qian was suddenly startled. She quickly put down the bottle of wine and grabbed her cell phone. When she saw it, it was a call from China.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the computer in the living room, and then answered the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, the other end of the phone was filled with silence, until Mu Qian whispered "Hello".
"It's almost two o'clock, still not sleeping?" Huo Jinxi's voice was low and calm, just like before.
Mu Qian turned her head and looked at the grandfather clock in the living room. After a pause, she answered truthfully: "Well, I can't sleep."
After saying that, she took the wine glass and walked to the sofa and sat down. After taking a sip of wine, she said, "Guess what I saw today?"
There hasn't been such a normal chat between the two people for a long time.
In addition to the computer in the living room that always maintains video communication, Huo Qiran would occasionally video chat with Huo Jinxi. Most of the time, Mu Qian was just beside him. The two of them chatted for a while. He asked Huo Qiran about
As for how they were doing, she would ask about her grandfather's current situation, or express their concern for each other, and unnecessary topics would almost never be discussed again.
At this moment, Huo Jinxi was sitting in the office, looking at the figure of Mu Qian sitting on the sofa on the big screen. When he heard her question, his nerves that had been tense for many days suddenly relaxed a little.
He loosened his tie and then said, "What did you see?"
"I saw a woman...who looked very much like Ye Zi." Mu Qian said, "But when I caught up with her, she was gone."
Huo Jinxi couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this.
"Do you believe there are ghosts in the world?" Mu Qian suddenly asked again.
"I don't believe it." Huo Jinxi replied almost without pause.
Mu Qian curled her lips and said slowly, "But I just received a silent phone call."
Huo Jinxi's eyes darkened, "Who hit me?"
"I don't know." Mu Qian replied, "I only know the number here in the United States."
After a moment of silence, Huo Jinxi said again: "So, do you believe in ghosts now?"
Mu Qian chuckled softly and said slowly: "If it is Ye Zi's ghost, shouldn't she be in China? Or she came across the ocean to the United States to find me. She even uses an American number when calling, but she is not in front of me.
Show up?"
"So, someone is up to something." Huo Jinxi said slowly.
Mu Qian lay down on the sofa and took a sip of wine before saying again: "What's the point?"
On the other end of the phone, Huo Jinxi looked at her carefree and carefree posture. After a while, he slowly said, "Someone wants you to stay over there and not come back."
Upon hearing this answer, Mu Qian paused slightly.
She had really never thought about this answer.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense——
A woman who looks like Ye Xi has a strange silent phone call. With her temperament, she will not give up until she understands it clearly.
If the other party wanted to use Ye Xi to influence her, they could do it in Tongcheng instead of coming to the United States to stage this act.
And the reason why you are doing this here is to keep her in Philadelphia?
But what's the reason?
Who would benefit from her staying in Philadelphia?
Almost instantly, Mu Qian thought of Cheng Manshu.
The reason why she came to Tongcheng was more or less because of Cheng Manshu's matter. If she went back, she really might not hide the fact that Cheng Manshu pushed Ye Jingwei downstairs.
Someone wants to hide this fact, so they don't want her to return to Tongcheng?
But the only people who knew that she knew the inside story were Huo Jinxi and Lin Shu.
Huo Jinxi would not use such methods on her, besides, it would be unnecessary;
Lin Shu, if she doesn't have such great ability, it's impossible.
Mu Qian quickly rejected the speculation in this direction.
If it wasn't related to Cheng Manshu, then who wanted her to stay in Philadelphia?
There seems to be only one person who knows how to use Ye Xi to influence her - Ye Jinfan.
And Ye Jinfan's target has always been the Huo family.
So, if she stays in Tongcheng, will it have any impact on the Huo family?
Thinking of this, Mu Qian couldn't help but glance in the direction of the computer again.
She knew who she was and that she had no influence on the Huo family. There was only one person who would be affected by her.
Mu Qian sat far away and looked at the computer quietly, as if she could see Huo Jinxi sitting there.
Because she knew that at this moment, Huo Jinxi was watching her quietly through the camera.
Before that, he might have been looking at her anytime, anywhere, for more than twenty days.
But he has never taken the initiative to call her, until today.
Maybe it was because she woke him up in the middle of the night and worried him, or maybe it was because he had endured it for many days and finally couldn't bear the lovesickness.
"What about you?" Mu Qian suddenly asked, "Do you want me to come back?"
