At three o'clock in the morning, when Huo Jinxi returned to the Huo family's old house, the lights in the entire mansion were turned off, with only the soft and dim light still shining through his bedroom window.
Huo Jinxi went upstairs and opened the door, only to see Huo Qiran sleeping alone on the bed.
Huo Jinxi stepped forward and arranged the quilt for him, and found that there was no sign of anyone lying on the bed except around Huo Qiran.
Mu Qian hasn't slept since he went out.
Huo Jinxi turned around and walked out the door. He walked around the second floor but didn't see Mu Qian.
Finally, he saw Mu Qian sitting in a deck chair on the third floor terrace.
The dark blue sky is filled with thin clouds, and the stars and moon are hazy. This night is extremely cold.
Mu Qian was wrapped in a thick pajamas, but her feet were bare and she didn't even wear a pair of socks.
Huo Jinxi walked forward, stretched out his hand and touched her feet, then took off his coat and covered her feet.
"I heard you coming back." Mu Qian spoke slowly, "But I just don't want to move."
Huo Jinxi said "hmm" and sat down next to her.
Mu Qian leaned into his arms, raised her head and continued to look at the sky. After a long time, she slowly said: "Do you still remember? A long time ago, the stars in the sky were very bright."
Huo Jinxi followed her gaze to the sky and responded lightly.
Mu Qian suddenly glanced at him and said: "At first glance, you don't have any romantic feelings. You must have never looked at the stars seriously. But my father likes to look at the stars."
"In the past summer, he often took me to enjoy the cool air in the courtyard of the courtyard and watch the stars. At that time, I didn't think the stars were very beautiful, but for every star, my father could tell a different story.
I became addicted to listening to the stories, and every time he looked at the stars, I took the initiative to accompany him."
"Of course my mother will not accompany her to watch the stars. She is a fairy. The weather is hot in summer and there are many mosquitoes. She will not let herself be bitten by insects in the yard. But she has never criticized her father for this.
She supports her father in everything he does because she really loves him and he is really worthy of love..."
"Huo Jinxi, I feel sorry for you because you have never met my father. You don't know how knowledgeable, intelligent, elegant and funny he is. He is the best and best man in the world..."
When he said the last sentence, Mu Qian's voice suddenly dropped.
After a long time, she spoke again: "But God is not fair...it's not fair..."
Huo Jinxi didn't say anything, he just wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.
Mu Qian buried her face in his chest, holding onto Huo Jinxi's clothes tightly with both hands and not moving for a long time.
…
The next morning, Mu Qian appeared downstairs at Lu's house and asked to see Lu Yuchuan at the front desk.
"Sorry, if you want to see Mr. Lu, please call Mr. Lu's secretary or assistant to make an appointment." The front desk politely replied to her, "We can't help you inquire here."
Mu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Then you can call his secretary or assistant for me and tell them that I want to see their boss, wouldn't that be all right?"
The front desk still smiled politely and said, "How about you leave your name and phone number? We will send your information upstairs to Mr. Lu's secretary later."
Mu Qian breathed out slightly, and when she was considering whether to ask Lu Yuan to contact Lu Yuchuan directly, a deep and smiling voice suddenly came from behind her: "Qian Qian?"
Mu Qian suddenly turned around and faced Ye Jinfan's smiling and handsome face.
"What a coincidence." Ye Jinfan looked at her with a meaningful look, "I didn't expect to see you here. What's the matter?"
Mu Qian also smiled slightly, "I want to meet Mr. Lu Yuchuan. I heard that Brother Ye is a senior member of the Lu family. I wonder if you can help me introduce him?"
"Where are these words?" Ye Jinfan said, "With your current status Qianqian, I'm afraid I still have to rely on your recommendation."
"Really?" Mu Qian said, "Are you sure you dare to let me introduce you?"
Ye Jinfan couldn't help laughing, then stretched out his hand to help Mu Qian, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."
Mu Qian calmly avoided his touch and walked toward the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Ye Jinfan reached out and pressed the button for the 66th floor. Watching the elevator door slowly closing, he said: "My second uncle has been in a good mood these days. I guess it's because of you, right?"
"Then I wonder if Brother Ye is in a good mood or not?" Mu Qian asked.
Ye Jinfan laughed and said: "If you can reunite father and daughter, then of course I will be happy for you."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Ye." Mu Qian smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that after meeting me, Mr. Lu won't be in a good mood anymore. When the time comes, he will vent his anger on Brother Ye. Please don't do it."
You are the one who takes your anger out on me."
"You don't want a father like this." Ye Jinfan slowly suppressed his smile, sighed slightly, and then said, "You really have a lot of personality."
"Not only do I have a lot of personality, I also have my revenge." Mu Qian raised her eyes and looked at him, "I hope Brother Ye still remembers."
Ye Jinfan nodded slowly and said, "Of course you hate me now, but one day, maybe you will turn around and beg me. So, don't talk too much yet."
The elevator slowly slowed down. Mu Qian raised her eyes and glanced at the floor. It wasn't until the elevator came to a complete stop and the elevator door slowly opened that she spoke again: "I also send these words to Brother Ye. I hope that Brother Ye will
It can also be digested well.”
After saying this, Mu Qian walked straight out of the elevator.
Ye Jinfan then walked out, looked at Mu Qian's back, sneered slightly, then turned and walked towards his office.
When Mu Qian walked to the door of Lu Yuchuan's office, Lu Yuchuan's assistant Zhang Hong happened to come out of the office. He suddenly saw Mu Qian. Zhang Hong paused suddenly, and the next moment he quickly stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.
He said: "Miss Qian."
"You can call me Mrs. Huo." Mu Qian said.
"Yes, Mrs. Huo." Zhang Hong responded quickly, and then said, "Are you here to see Mr. Lu? He is having a video conference and may ask you to wait a moment."
"It doesn't matter." Mu Qian said, "I have time."
After hearing this, Zhang Hong quickly led her to sit down in the customer lounge, served a cup of coffee, and hurried out again.
Five minutes later, Zhang Hong appeared again and invited her to go to Lu Yuchuan's office where they were having a video conference just now.
"Mr. Lu was very happy to hear that you were coming. He immediately stopped the meeting and asked me to take you in to see him." Zhang Hong said.
Mu Qian slightly raised the corners of her lips but said nothing.
When he walked into Lu Yuchuan's office, Lu Yuchuan, who was supposed to be busy, was actually grinding coffee by himself on the table in the reception area.
Seeing Mu Qian walk in, Lu Yuchuan immediately laughed, "You should call me first when you come over. I'll send someone to pick you up to prevent you from being made trouble by the people below. Want some coffee? I'll make it for you.
drink."
Mu Qian walked forward slowly, picked up the coffee beans in his hand and smelled them.
"Does the coffee beans I prepared myself smell good?" Lu Yuchuan asked.
"Smells." Mu Qian slowly put down the beans in her hand and raised her eyes to look at him, "But I don't think what we are going to say today is suitable for saying it while drinking coffee."
After hearing her words, Lu Yuchuan continued grinding coffee without any pause. At the same time, he asked her with a gentle face: "Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"About my dad." Mu Qian replied.
Lu Yuchuan's hand movements paused for a moment, then he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and then said again: "You mean Mu Huaian, right? What about him?"
When he said this, Lu Yuchuan slowly leaned into the sofa, wiping his hands and asking her casually.
It seems that he has a clear conscience.
Mu Qian faintly raised her lips and finally said, "Did you kill him seventeen years ago?"
