"What happened?" Huo Xu frowned, his voice still calm.
"I worked part-time at Kristen's Café in the Central Shopping Center on North Street. I encountered some difficult customers who falsely accused me of stealing money. I really didn't take their wallets! But they didn't believe me no matter how I explained, and they even told me to call the police."
The more Cheng Cheng spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became more choked and choppy, as if he really had no other way out.
Huo Xu frowned, "Did you call your elder brother?"
"I don't dare to disturb him now, because he has already learned a lesson from what happened last time... Is it convenient for you? If it's not convenient, forget it..."
"Send me your location and I'll go there now."
Huo Xu said this in a deep voice, hung up the phone, picked up the car keys, and turned around to go out.
The housekeeper frowned.
This call really came at a perfect time. If it had not come earlier, it would have been late, but it just happened to come at this time.
Christine's Cafe.
When Huo Xu opened the door and walked in, the assistant had already dealt with the difficult guest, called in surveillance cameras, and found a lawyer.
When the other party saw that Yu Chengcheng, a little waiter, had such a big power behind him, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to pester him anymore. Instead, he paid the apology fee and ran away.
"Huo Xu..."
A soft and pitiful voice came, Huo Xu's waist tightened, and someone hugged him from behind.
His body instinctively stiffened for a second, and then he realized who was hugging him.
"The matter has been dealt with." Huo Xu said in a businesslike tone, reaching out and pushing Yu Chengcheng away without leaving any trace, keeping a certain distance.
Yu Chengcheng wiped his tears and seemed to feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I was rude. You helped me so much this time. I really don't know how to thank you. Can I treat you to afternoon tea?"
Huo Xu's expression changed slightly, but his bromine-black eyes darkened.
In his mind, Yu Ruanruan's cute and pleasing face flashed unconsciously.
At this time, it’s time for the woman’s forehead to be changed.
"I won't drink any more coffee."
Huo Xu said in a deep voice, "I will ask someone to help you quit this job. You are still a student, and everything is focused on your studies. If you need money, you can come to me."
"Huo Xu!" Seeing the man turning around to leave, Yu Chengcheng immediately reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
She didn't know what was wrong with herself.
I had no intention of studying all day yesterday, and my mind was filled with images of him passing by while holding Ruanruan in his arms.
"Can...can you...can you give me some time?"
When these words were spoken, both of them were startled.
Yu Chengcheng didn't know whether this time meant the time for drinking coffee or the time when she accepted Huo Xu from her heart.
The man took out his sleeve from Cheng Cheng's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised, "Okay."
Hearing him say yes, the haze that had shrouded Yu Chengcheng's heart all day instantly dissipated, "Then what do you want to drink? Caramel macchiato, or latte?"
"latté."
"Wait for me, I'll do it."
Yu Chengcheng was so happy that the deer bumped around, holding the hem of his skirt and ran away quickly.
Huo Xu sat down in the corner by the window of the coffee shop. He usually dealt with Cheng Cheng's affairs very seriously, but today he was a little absent-minded.
Counting the second hand on his watch, he waited for 5 minutes. Cheng Cheng had not come back yet. He couldn't help but lose patience and waved to the assistant beside him: "After this, take Cheng Cheng back to Yu's house."
When the assistant saw him getting up, he quickly said, "Mr. Huo, are you waiting for Miss Cheng Cheng's coffee?"
"I have something to deal with. Say sorry to her for me."
Huojiaqiangyuan.
Yu Ruanruan was lying on the small table in the room, racking her brains to write the wrong question set.
Last night, Gu Yan took a photo of the teacher's handout and sent it to her. Although she had ideas for solving the problem, she still couldn't understand it.
At this time, the mobile phone on the table buzzed and vibrated. It was Cheng Zishan's call.
"Ruanruan, didn't you say you needed a tutor yesterday? I called your teacher Lu, and he said he didn't have time to teach you, but he recommended someone to you. Now that person is already waiting outside Qiangyuan.
You go and greet me."
The tutor is here?!
Yu Ruoruan's eyes shone brightly, and she quickly put down the paper as she was hungry.
The afternoon sun is abundant and dazzling because the season has entered autumn and the ultraviolet rays are not so strong, but it is still a bit hot.
Yu Ruanruan wore a small white dress and went out. Her long, curly hair was spread loosely on her shoulders. The breeze blew by, and the skirt of her skirt fluttered. Her straight and slender legs shone white under the sunlight.
Outside the manor, the boy who had been standing for a long time couldn't move away when his eyes touched the girl walking towards him, and he subconsciously clenched the corners of his school uniform.
"Fu Chuan? Why is it you?"
Yu Ruoruan stretched out her hand to cover the scorching sun above her head, and her eyes were shocked when she saw the figure at the door.
The tutor recommended by Teacher Lu to her was actually Fu Chuan?
Fu Chuan tightened his grip on his schoolbag strap, his back as straight as a poplar, and hummed unnaturally, "Well, I'm in a hurry, let's go in first and talk about it later."
"good."
Maybach drives into the manor.
Huo Xu wore sunglasses and drove into the garage.
When he came out of the garage, he felt a little depressed and realized that he had let Cheng Cheng go for that woman Yu Ruoruan.
Regarding Cheng Cheng, he always regarded himself as a guardian.
It was her who saved his life, and from that moment on, she was destined to be his salvation.
Thinking of this, Huo Xu frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Cheng: "Sorry, I have something to do, let's go first. Let's drink coffee another day."
"call out--"
Yu Chengcheng: [It’s okay, thank you today, Huo Xu.]
The text message was replied almost instantly. Seeing Cheng Cheng's considerate reply, Huo Xu's eyes softened a little. He opened the address book and called his assistant: "I bought the set of jewelry I was interested in last time. Cheng Cheng
I'll send it on Cheng's birthday."
The assistant echoed, "It's two Miss Yu's birthdays in half a month. Will Miss Ruanruan still prepare the same gift as in previous years?"
Huo Xu remembered that Yu Ruanruan had mentioned to him before that she liked the latest dress designed by Master Roland.
That piece of clothing will be released in limited quantities at the end of the month.
He was about to speak when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure on the lawn not far away under an umbrella.
To be precise, there are two.
The boy held a pen in his hand and was calculating on the scratch paper, while the girl leaned toward him, listening carefully and intently to the other person's ideas for solving the problem.
The two of them were very close, and the breeze blew the girl's hair and skirt, entangled between the boy's fingers and knees.
Huo Xu knew this boy. He was the boy who climbed over the wall and sneaked into Yu's house yesterday evening to deliver eggs to Yu Ruanruan.
In Yu Ruanruan’s words, it’s a bamboo horse?
Huo Xu's eyes suddenly darkened, and a sourness that he didn't even notice came into his heart.
He hung up the assistant's phone and walked towards the lawn.
"F(x) applies this formula here..."
"Is that so? I didn't expect it at all, but why did I use that formula to solve it and get n=1? I said I obviously had the right answer, but why didn't the teacher give me points! It turns out the steps were wrong!"
Yu Ruoruan suddenly realized, "I was able to get it right by writing blindly. I should have bought a lottery ticket if I had known earlier."
Fu Chuan was teased by her and pursed his lips, a little shy.
