Mu Qian caught a glimpse of the change in the expression on Huo Jinbei's face and couldn't help but said: "You don't even know this, right? You already knew she was Mr. Song's daughter last time. After so long, you don't even know this.
Know?"
When Huo Jinbei heard this, he paused for a moment and then said, "Her mother is not the first wife, so what is she?"
"She is an unfortunate woman." Mu Qian shrugged and said, "At that time, Song Qingyuan's first wife passed away and he was not in good health, so his children arranged for a nurse to take care of him. This nurse was from Qianxing.
Mother."
Huo Jinbei lowered his eyes lightly and did not express any opinion.
"Song Qingyuan has no feelings for Qianxing's mother. The whole thing may be an accident, or... you are a man, you should know better than me." Mu Qian said, "After the incident was discovered by Song Qingyuan's children, Qianxing was immediately
Xing’s mother sent her away.”
Huo Jinbei then raised his eyes to look at her again, "Send away?"
"She returned to her hometown to join her brother, who is Tongcheng."
Huo Jinbei frowned slightly, "No one in Huai City knows that she is pregnant?"
Mu Qian nodded, "I only discovered it after I returned to Tongcheng, so no one there knew about it."
"If she was rational, she shouldn't have given birth to this child." Huo Jinbei said.
Mu Qian shrugged, "Then no one knows what she was thinking, because she died in childbirth when she was giving birth to Qianxing."
Huo Jinbei stared again.
"Qianxing grew up under the care of her uncle. She is indeed a child without a father and a mother. She has been rebellious since she was a child, but she is also smart and ambitious. Although her moral character is not high, her academic performance is good, so she went to the same school as you.
University." Mu Qian stretched out her hand to adjust the direction of Yueyue's crawling, and continued, "Until this stage, her life is still under her control..."
"Until Song Qingyuan knew of her existence." Huo Jinbei said lightly.
Mu Qian curled her lips and said, "Speaking of fate, in recent years, Song Qingyuan's son passed away due to illness, and his daughter and grandson were involved in a car accident abroad. Neither of them survived. He became a real lonely old man overnight and recovered from his pain.
After that, I somehow remembered the little nurse from twenty years ago, and asked someone to check, and found that the little nurse had died long ago, but left behind a daughter."
"You can guess what happens next. He is alone and of course he wants to recognize his daughter. But to Qianxing, he is an extremely irresponsible man. She is so rebellious, so of course he will not want to recognize her.
So, the father and daughter started a long-term tug-of-war, and Qianxing disappeared for a few years even after they had a disagreement... By the way, when she disappeared, she was in college, right? At that time, your school also
Are there any relevant rumors?”
Huo Jinbei's face was slightly cold and he did not answer her.
"But that's normal. All kinds of strange things happen in college. It's just a rebellious girl dropping out of school. It's not a big deal. It's normal that no one pays attention." Mu Qian said, "Until Huo Jinxi found her back in the south.
, sent to Huai City, the result was of course the same. Not long after, Qianxing ran back to Tongcheng by himself, and you have seen the situation now. I don’t know if the grudge between the father and daughter can be resolved.
…”
After hearing this, Huo Jinbei fell silent for a while and did not speak again.
Mu Qian glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"
Huo Jinbei did not answer her.
He just sat quietly, his eyes calm and empty, as if he remembered something and was stuck in memories.
Mu Qian adjusted Yueyue's direction again, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and stared at him.
It wasn't until Huo Jinbei came to his senses and stood up again that Mu Qian quickly stopped him: "Hey, you really don't have the spirit to gossip at all. How could you leave without expressing your opinion after listening to the story?
Woolen cloth?"
Huo Jinbei paused, and after a moment of silence, he really responded to her, but he just said: "I'll go down and accompany grandpa."
After saying that, he went downstairs without looking back.
Mu Qian sat on the sofa, looked at the direction in which he disappeared, and then looked at Mr. Huo's room, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - grandpa was obviously in his room, who was he going downstairs to accompany?
Not long after, Mu Qian saw her aunt coming upstairs and asked, "Where is Huo Jinbei? Is he gone?"
"No," the aunt said. "I went downstairs and sat for a while. Maybe I thought I disturbed him in the kitchen, so I went to the backyard again. I just went to check and he was sitting in a chair thinking about something by himself.
, I didn’t bother him.”
Mu Qian responded, then said with a smile: "That's good."
…
In the evening, when Huo Jinxi returned home, the first thing he did was to go upstairs to see his baby daughter.
In the small hall upstairs, Huo Qiran was sitting with Yueyue in her little world, watching her sister's every move with joy. This was originally an extremely common scene, but what was abnormal was Huo Jinbei next to her.
Huo Qiran was playing with Yueyue, while Huo Jinbei was sitting on the sofa next to him, with no expression on his face. He just waved a toy in front of Yueyue for a while, and then waved another one.
Mechanical and numb, with no trace of sincerity in sight.
Huo Jinxi frowned slightly and walked forward, stretched out his hands to pick up his daughter who smiled when she saw him, and then looked at Huo Jinbei, "Aren't you leaving today?"
Huo Jinbei still seemed to have not recovered, and just responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Huo Jinxi frowned again.
He even doubted whether Huo Jinbei heard his question clearly.
Then, he turned to look at Huo Qiran, asking his son for confirmation with his eyes.
Huo Qiran spread his hands and shrugged, saying that Uncle Xiaobei had been like this since he came back and he didn't know what happened.
Huo Jinxi then carried Yueyue towards the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Mu Qian was talking to the staff of the painting hall about purchasing paintings. It took a while to finish the conversation, and when she put down the phone, she heard Huo Jinxi ask: "What did you do to that person outside?"
"Ha?" Mu Qian knew who he was asking as soon as she heard it, but she immediately became happy, "Why do you think it was me who did something? I was busy with work this afternoon with my children. I don't know how busy I am.
Take care of him!"
Huo Jinxi let his daughter play with his hair curiously. When he heard Mu Qian's answer, he just said, "You almost laughed out loud."
The next moment, Mu Qian laughed out loud as expected, and then said: "I just told him the story you told me about Qianxing's life experience before, and after telling him, he acted like that. The specific reason for this is just
I’m afraid you’ll have to ask him again.”
"That's unnecessary." Huo Jinxi said, "I'm not interested."
Mu Qian glanced at him and sighed: "What a cold person."
Huo Jinxi held Yueyue in his palm and asked her, "Is dad cool?"
Yueyue jumped in Huo Jinxi's palm, screamed happily, opened her mouth and kissed Huo Jinxi on the face.
Huo Jinxi laughed out loud immediately and didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to anything else.
Mu Qian glanced at the disgusted expressions of the father and daughter, picked up her cell phone again, and dialed Song Qianxing's number.
It took a while before the phone was picked up. On the other end of the phone, there was deafening music.
"What are you doing?" Song Qianxing asked her on the other end of the phone, shouting.
"You'd better be back within half an hour." Mu Qian glanced at the time and said, "There's money to be made."
After Mu Qian finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
Song Qianxing was indeed Song Qianxing. Even though Mu Qian gave a limited time, she still walked through the door of the Huo family nearly two hours later.
It was almost the rest time for everyone in the Huo family, so there was no one downstairs. However, when Song Qianxing walked upstairs, she suddenly saw Huo Jinbei sitting alone in the small hall.
"Huh?" she couldn't help but exclaim, "Why are you still here? Is the old man dying? Does he need you to keep watch over him?"
Huo Jinbei suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes were as dark as ink, and there was no emotion contained in them.
