The car slowly drove into a quiet villa area. This is the earliest group of single-family villas in Kyoto. The smallest villa is eight or nine hundred square meters, and the largest villa and yard are almost three acres of land.
The car stopped in front of a three-story villa. After a while, the electric iron door slowly opened and the car slowly drove into the parking lot. This was the property that Masnian and Xiao Yingxi bought in Kyoto. Over the years,
It is basically idle and only lives here for a month or so a year.
The villa is cleaned regularly. Over the years, Xiao Yihe has occasionally come to stay here for a few days. Because it is winter, the villa yard looks a bit bleak. Only a few roses in the corner are still standing in the cold wind. This is what it was like back then.
Si Nian found several mutant roses for Xiao Yingxi.
"Sir, madam, it's been a hard journey."
As soon as the car stopped, a man about fifty years old walked out of it. He was the father of Xiao Yihe's driver, Jiang Yu. Jiang Guotao was a veteran with good cooking skills. He was injured in an accident a few years ago.
Jiang Yu took him to Kyoto. When Xiao Yihe found out, he arranged this easy job for Lao Jiang.
I usually come to the villa every now and then to take a look and stare at the people cleaning. Most of the time, I take care of Xiao Yihe's life, that is, other aunties are responsible for cooking, cleaning and other things.
This time Mas Nian and the others will stay in Kyoto for more than a week. Xiao Yihe specially asked Lao Jiang to come and take care of them in the villa for a few days. Lao Jiang has met Mas Nian and the others before, so they are not strangers.
Lao Jiang said hello and prepared to help carry the luggage. When Jiang Yu saw this, he immediately came over to help his father. The two father and son are now Xiao Yihe's confidants. If it weren't for Xiao Yihe, they might have returned to their hometown and guarded an acre.
Three-thirds of the time, living a life of poverty.
"Lao Jiang, long time no see. How are you?"
Although Masnian usually talks little, he always has an inexplicable admiration for soldiers, so his attitude towards Lao Jiang is much warmer than towards others.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm still strong. Sir, just give me my luggage."
When Lao Jiang saw Masnian carrying his luggage, he immediately stepped forward. Masnian heard this and immediately refused.
"Okay, we are about the same age. We can do it by ourselves. You can just help this woman carry her luggage. Thank you for your hard work."
This is education. Even though Masnian is now as rich as anyone in the country, he has never forgotten his birth. In addition to being grateful, he always reminded himself not to forget his roots, so he never felt that he was superior to others.
Several adults entered the room chatting and laughing. Xiao Siluo was about to follow her in when she saw Xiao Yihe standing aside thoughtfully with a cell phone in his hand. She walked over and stuck her head in the air and asked.
"Brother, what are you doing? You look worried, why don't you go in?"
"I'll make a call. You go inside first. It's cold outside. Be careful of catching a cold."
Xiao Yihe said, not forgetting to help Xiao Siluo put on his clothes. Xiao Siluo frowned slightly, obviously feeling that Xiao Yihe had something on his mind, but she did not rush to ask, but walked back into the villa step by step.
Here, Xiao Yihe waited for Xiao Siluo to enter the house before dialing Xiao Yiheng's mobile phone. The call was connected after a while.
"Let me remind you one thing. Your mother is here to urge your marriage this time. It is probably the Han family who went to the house to mention your marriage. You can handle it yourself. And what you said this morning, if you really
If you think it’s worth it, I’ll take care of it from the board of directors.”
"I understand, Yihe, thank you. I will find a chance to make it clear to my parents about the matter with the Han family."
Xiao Yiheng's deep voice came from the other side of the phone. At this time, he was on his way to the film and television city.
Xiao Yihe finished the call and was about to enter the house when his cell phone rang again. He thought Xiao Yiheng had something else to say, so he picked it up and saw that it was a call from Gu Qiyang.
"What's up?"
After the call was connected, Xiao Yihe spoke softly.
"Mr. Xiao, Director Huo from Aotian Games called just now and made an appointment to meet at the company at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to agree?"
Now as long as it concerns Huo Lan, Gu Qiyang doesn't dare to make any decisions. No, as soon as Huo Lan called him, Gu Qiyang immediately reported the matter to Xiao Yihe.
After hearing this, Xiao Yihe raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"She returned to Kyoto?"
"No, but the noise on the phone must be at the airport in the United States. Mr. Xiao, you had an appointment with Mr. Qin in the park to play golf at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to change your schedule?"
"No, tomorrow's itinerary will be as usual."
Suddenly, an evil smile flashed across Xiao Yihe's lips, and he said with calculating eyes.
Gu Qiyang was a little surprised. He thought that Xiao Yihe would put down other plans as soon as he heard about Huo Lan's appointment. Unexpectedly, it didn't change. Now, he also couldn't understand.
Gu Qiyang asked puzzledly.
"Does Director Huo need to make another appointment?"
"No, you just need to tell her that I don't have time. You don't need to say much else, that's it."
After saying that, Xiao Yihe hung up the phone. Gu Qiyang on the other end of the phone looked confused. How could their big boss sing like this?
Gu Qiyang shook his head, not daring to waste time, and immediately sent a text message back to Huo Lan.
"Director Huo, I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao's recent schedule is fully booked."
Others, not a word was mentioned.
After sending the message, Gu Qiyang stared at his phone and waited for a long time. Without waiting for Huo Lan's reply, he put down his phone and went to do other things.
On the tarmac of an international airport in the United States, Huo Lan had already boarded the plane. The stewardess was already reminding her to turn off her mobile phone. She put her mobile phone away and looked at the little guy next to her, her eyes filled with adoration.
Looking at the other side, there is a woman who looks about 70% similar to her. Her face is a little pale and thin. She may have been suffering from illness for many years and looks a little old.
"Mom, you can rest for a while when the plane takes off. It will take almost twelve hours to go back to Kyoto from here. I'll just watch Xiaogua."
That's right, this is Huo Lan's mother, a person who has been tortured by cancer for almost four years. Although her condition is now under control, the constant chemotherapy in the past few years has long hollowed out her body.
"Okay, Mom will naturally rest when she is tired. After waiting for so many years, she can finally return to China. In order to pay off her debts, she cut off contact with all your relatives. I don't know if I can still contact them this time."
Mrs. Huo couldn't help but sigh when she thought about some old things. Fortunately, the most difficult days were over, and now she can return to her hometown.
"Mom, leave all this to me. I've asked Junye to help find it. However, the country has changed a lot in the past few years. The places we used to live in have all been demolished, so it may take more time."
"It's okay. Just look for it slowly. It's okay if you really can't find it. Xiaolan, you have worked hard these years. If it weren't for me, you and... Hey, let's not talk about it. Now my mother only hopes that you can have a good relationship with Junye.
, that child is really good to you, and he doesn’t mind Xiaogua’s birth.”
"Mom, stop talking about this. Didn't I tell you everything? Junye and I are just friends. Don't say such things again in the future, especially in front of him. I don't want him to misunderstand."
Huo Lan interrupted her mother's words. She had never thought that there would be anything between her and Tu Junye. There was nothing before and there would never be anything in the future.
Mrs. Huo on the side sighed softly when her daughter said this.
"Xiaolan, it's been so many years, have you still not forgotten..."
Mrs. Huo didn't say anything else, but looked at the little guy next to Huo Lan, and then sighed.
Huo Lan did not respond, but picked up the blanket on the plane, covered Mrs. Huo, and said.
"Mom, you should take a rest first. You spent most of the night trying to catch the plane, so don't be tired."
It was past four o'clock in the morning in the United States time. In order to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, I had to have three business classes, so I chose this early morning flight.
Mrs. Huo saw that her daughter didn't want to talk about this, so she could only feel sad secretly.
Huo Lan looked at the little guy beside her with confused eyes. She was not sure whether her decision was right, but she could not let her mother live in a foreign country forever.
After a long time, Huo Lan sighed softly, and could only take one step at a time. Fortunately, Tu Junye found a house for them in the suburbs of Kyoto. When the time comes, letting the mother and the little guy live there, it should not cause too much trouble.
s concern.
"Beauty, what are you thinking about? Baby melon wants to drink water."
At this time, a tender and soft voice recalled Huo Lan's thoughts. The moment she lowered her head, her eyes had returned to the tenderness they had just before.
"Our baby melon is thirsty. Does he want to drink grandma or water?"
"Baby Gua is sleepy and wants to drink from grandma."
The childish voice swept away Huo Lan's worries. No matter what, this little guy was her motivation.
After that, Huo Lan called the flight attendant, asked for some warm water, and skillfully helped the little guy make milk. Then he flattened the chair, covered the little guy with a blanket, and coaxed.
"Then our melon baby will go to sleep after drinking grandma, okay? When he wakes up, we will go to our new home!"
The little guy was really obedient, nodded his head without making any noise, and then blinked his clear eyes and asked.
"Beauty Lanlan, will we be able to see our handsome daddy when we wake up?"
"Xiaogua, how many times have I told you that you should be called Uncle Junye, he is not your daddy."
Huo Lan knew the little guy's heart's longing for his father, but there were some things that she didn't know how to explain to a child who was only three years old.
Xiaogua pouted and said reluctantly.
"Lan Lan, dad...Uncle Junye is very good to Xiao Gua. Xiao Gua likes him and he also wants to be Xiao Gua's daddy."
"But he is not Xiaogua's daddy, you know? Uncle Junye is mommy's friend, you can only call him uncle, do you understand?"
Although Xiaogua was unhappy, she didn't want Huo Lan to be blamed, so she could only nod her head sensibly.
"Oh, I'm going to bed."
After saying that, Xiaogua turned sideways, held the milk bottle, drank the milk and closed her eyes.
