Huo Xu answered the phone, and the assistant's voice came over there, "Sir, I have an appointment with Mr. Ren at one o'clock in the afternoon."
"Oh, I see."
Huo Xu put down the coffee cup in his hand, stood up and walked towards Yu Ruoruan who was busy.
The girl is busy rearranging the layout of the restaurant.
Seeing the man coming over, she looked startled, "What's wrong?"
"Go out and come back to have dinner with you in the evening."
Huo Xu raised his hand and rubbed the girl's hair, then picked up the suit on the back of the chair and put it on.
"Then I'll give it to you!"
Hearing that he was leaving, Yu Ruoruan hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Huo Xu's arm.
This is the father of the financial sponsor, so he has to be taken care of.
Seeing the girl's fawning look, Huo Xu chuckled. It wasn't until she got to the elevator that Huo Xu stopped and turned to look at the girl, "Okay, let's bring her here. It's hot outside."
"Then, you must remember to come back and have dinner with me tonight!"
The girl stood on tiptoes and gave the man a slap on the face.
Huo Xu pinched her face, and the elevator came up at this time. With the girl's reluctant and sticky greeting, Huo Xu got on the elevator.
In the corridor on the same floor of the commercial building, Ren Xiyuan was walking towards here wearing sunglasses and carrying a big-name bag, followed by several bodyguards.
Far away, she saw the woman who had spoken rudely to her that day.
Ren Xiyuan frowned, her eyes first resting on Yu Ruanruan, and she saw the girl holding a tall and straight man with a smile on her arm.
Her gaze couldn't help but follow the girl's gaze upwards, and then she met a stunningly handsome face.
The man has a cold and handsome face, and his whole body exudes a coldness that prevents strangers from entering, but when facing the girl in front of him, his eyes are full of doting.
"Be sure to come back and have dinner with me tonight."
The girl stood up on tiptoes and kissed the man's handsome face. In an instant, the corners of her eyes that were supposed to be tempered by the cold were raised slightly, and smiles and sweetness overflowed from them.
Ren Xiyuan's heart skipped a beat for an instant.
She has met many handsome guys, but there has never been one who can easily make her feel attracted to him.
This man is so handsome.
But why do you like that country bumpkin?
A trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed across her dignified Shuyi face. She stood there and looked at Yu Ruanruan from top to bottom.
I thought with disdain, no wonder she said, why did this woman open a restaurant at such a young age? It turned out that she had found a rich boyfriend.
After Yu Ruoruan watched Huo Xu leave, she turned around to go back to the restaurant. As soon as she turned around, she met a pair of appraising eyes.
Is it her again?
Ever since the pretentious Miss Ren acted arrogantly in front of her store last time, Yu Ruanruan had secretly checked her identity.
Ren Xiyuan, the eldest daughter of the Ren family.
However, this eldest lady is not the biological daughter of Mr. Ren and his wife, but the adopted daughter from Mr. Ren’s younger brother.
Mrs. Ren’s daughter was abducted by human traffickers when she was 8 years old. There has been no news since and her whereabouts are unknown.
Mrs. Ren missed her daughter and became mentally ill. However, she also suffered from infertility. Mr. Ren loved his wife deeply. Not only did he not give up on her, but in order to prevent his wife from being too sad, he even adopted his younger brother's daughter into his lap.
Mrs. Ren's madness waxed and waned. When she was good, she pinned her longing for her daughter on Ren Xiyuan, but once she went crazy, she would no longer recognize her.
Sometimes it even hurts people. Ren Xiyuan was hurt many times by Mrs. Ren when she was a child. Mr. Ren felt guilty for this adopted daughter, so he loved her very much.
The Ren family can be said to be the uncrowned king who monopolizes Binhai business. As the only daughter of Mr. Ren, Ren Xiyuan naturally has everything to do with the wind and rain.
It's normal to be a little arrogant.
Yu Ruanruan didn't want to cause trouble, and she felt that there was no conflict between herself and Ren Xiyuan, so she averted her eyes and walked straight past Ren Xiyuan.
Seeing the girl passing by, Ren Xiyuan suddenly felt furious.
Wherever she went in Binhai, everyone treated her with humility and respect. This was the first time she encountered such an arrogant person.
"Miss."
The bodyguard noticed Ren Xiyuan's displeasure, bowed and asked, "Would you like us to help you teach her a lesson?"
"Need not."
Ren Xiyuan flipped her hair and rolled her eyes, "Is this lady so narrow-minded?"
"Yes...I'm sorry, miss, that's not what I meant."
"Hmph, that woman wants to do business in Binhai? We have to see if our Ren family is willing to agree."
After Ren Xiyuan said these words, she stepped onto the elevator with high heels and strode into the elevator.
the other side.
Huo Xu was sitting under an umbrella in the garden of Ren's house, drinking afternoon tea.
The Ren family also has a manor in Binhai, surrounded by a sea of flowers, and the garden is filled with the fragrance of fruit.
"Xiao Xu, it's rare for you to come to our seaside. How about staying for a casual dinner tonight?"
Ren Qingshan looked at the extraordinary young man in front of him, with admiration in his eyes and a smile on his face.
"No, my fiancée is still waiting for me at home."
Huo Xu took a sip of the tea in the blue and white porcelain cup and said politely.
Ren Qingshan was a little surprised, "Oh? You and that girl from the Yu family have reconciled again?"
Ren Qingshan and Huo Xu had a close relationship. He still remembered that when he first met this young man, he was only seventeen years old. He was still a poor boy who relied on others' financial support to go to school.
That day, Director Liu Bo, who was still the captain of the Imperial City Criminal Police Brigade, drove across several cities to Binhai and found himself. With him was Huo Xu, a young man wearing a shabby shirt.
At that time, the boy's face was covered with bruises, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his arms and hands were covered with scabs that had just healed after injuries.
He followed Liu Bo like a wild wolf cub that had been hurt and no longer trusted humans.
The moment Ren Qingshan saw him, he had a bad premonition.
Because, he saw in the young man's eyes the last ray of desire for survival before death.
"Mr. Ren, I brought this child here today to ask you to do him a favor. I know that what happened back then caused indelible harm to you and brought disaster to your family."
Liu Bo was leaning against the wall and handed him a cigarette.
Then he lit the fire for him.
"I originally didn't want to tear open the scab and sprinkle salt on your wound, but this boy is still young. Can you give him the belief to live?"
Ren Qingshan was a little confused at first, but when he learned that they came here to inquire about his kidnapped and missing daughter, his whole face turned dark.
Because the charred girl's body had been cremated for many years and could not be examined, Ren Qingshan could not be sure that the other party was his daughter.
It was even more impossible for him to believe that it was his daughter.
Xiao Yuan was just abducted by human traffickers. Although her father's incompetence has prevented her from being found for so many years, Ren Qingshan believes that his daughter must be somewhere in the world, living healthy and safe.
It was impossible for him to accept Liu Bo's incredible hypothesis.
How can it be?
How could Madoka die in the community health center?
He drove Liu Bo away several times, but later, when he saw the last glimmer of hope shattered in the young man's eyes, he was finally moved.
For so many years, he had nightmares every night.
Dreaming about Madoka crying and being abused by human traffickers.
Such a young child was abducted by extremely vicious criminals. If she were still alive, what kind of miserable life would she have lived in the past ten or twenty years?
Selling to the old forest in a mountain village is the best ending.
Just be afraid, there is something even more terrifying.
