Chapter 436 A disfigured face

When Xiao Tianguo was one month old, Cheng Zishan recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Over the past year or so, Cheng Zishan's heart failure has basically been cured due to good care from her family.

On the day of the Full Moon Wine, the Qiang Courtyard was full of guests.

Xiao Tianguo was wearing a little red dress, and her little head with no hair on it looked like a braised egg.

But her eyes were as big as black grapes, and her eyelashes were long and thick. She looked at the room full of people. If someone came to tease her, she would purse her lips and hum, as if she had something to say.

"Haha, our Tianguo is so smart, she will definitely be a talented girl when she grows up!"

Cheng Zishan couldn't put it down holding her granddaughter.

Yu Ruanruan was still in confinement and was lying on the bed. Gu Yan was taking care of her.

It’s been a long time since the two best friends talked about old times. It only took a year for Gu Yan to quickly become famous and become a household name. She has been very busy with work this year. After Yu Ruanruan became pregnant, she also visited her best friend, but

Didn't stay too long.

"Pfft."

Gu Yan didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

Yu Ruoruan asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just thought of the scene where Brother Yu was fighting with some brothers downstairs to hold sweet fruits. It was funny. I didn't expect that he, who usually looks like a serious and gentle person, would sometimes be unable to hold himself back. It's really weird.

I know how doted he will be if he has a child in the future."

Seeing the tenderness on Gu Yan's face, Yu Ruanruan couldn't help but smile, "Yes, the eldest brother really likes children, but he is not young anymore. He is 32 this year and has no partner yet. I am the younger sister, so she is really

Sad..."

As she said that, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yan, who blushed a little at her suggestion, "What do you think I'm doing? He can't blame me if he doesn't have a partner, right?"

Although the relationship between her and Brother Yu has eased a lot over the past year, both of them are busy with work, so there has been no progress in their relationship.

Gu Yan was not sure what Brother Yu thought of her.

When she was young and ignorant, she once chased him without hesitation, but now, she no longer has the courage to take the initiative.

Just let it happen.

She is still young anyway, so she is not in a hurry.

Yu Ruanruan couldn't laugh or cry. Although she really wanted to bring her eldest brother and Gu Yan together, emotional matters were like a fish drinking water. She knew whether she was good or bad, and she didn't want to interfere too much, which would be counterproductive.

So, he quickly changed the topic, "Have you seen Huo Xu?"

"When I came up from downstairs just now, I saw Mr. Huo going out."

Yu Ruanruan was startled, "Going out? Where did you go?"

"I don't know, but he doesn't seem happy."

When Yu Ruoruan heard this, she couldn't help but frown, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and called Huo Xu.

"Dududu——"

The phone rang three times, and a man's hoarse voice came from the other end.

Huo Xu parked his car by the river and was smoking.

The past few days have been very stressful, but smoking is not allowed at home, and neither Ruanruan nor the baby can smell the smoke, so he drove the car to the river.

I smoked a whole pack in one puff.

When the phone rang, Huo Xu answered it immediately. Seeing that it was Ruanruan, he guessed that she was looking for him, so before she could ask, he immediately reported his address, "I'm in Jiang."

Bian, I’ll be back in a moment.”

The girl asked a few more questions on the phone and then hung up.

Huo Xu reached out to dust off the ashes from his clothes, and stood by the river for a while to enjoy the wind. Until the smell of smoke was completely blown away from his body, he turned around and drove home.

Full Moon Wine was booked at the most luxurious hotel in the imperial capital.

When Huo Xu returned home, the guests had already moved to the hotel.

Yu Ruanruan also got dressed and was ready to leave. As soon as Huo Xu entered the door, he saw the girl getting out of bed. He frowned and stepped forward to help her, "Why did you get down? You are still confinement, so don't go to the hotel.

"

"It's okay. I've been in bed for a month. If I don't get out and move around, my limbs will degenerate."

"Then put on your coat. It's windy outside, so don't freeze."

Huo Xu brought a cashmere coat and put it on Yu Ruanruan, then carried her into the car. After settling her down, he thought of his daughter, "Where's the sweet fruit?"

"The fruit is too small and it's inconvenient to carry it there, so I asked the confinement nurse to coax her to sleep."

"okay."

Huo Xu didn't ask any more questions. After getting in the car, he drove to the hotel.

In the huge Qiangyuan, there are only a few servants left.

"Aunt Li, go downstairs and have something to eat before taking care of the baby."

Butler Fu Bo came upstairs and said to the confinement sister-in-law with a smile.

When the confinement sister-in-law saw that the young lady was asleep, she put the child in the cradle and followed the housekeeper downstairs. However, she was careless and forgot to turn off the small sun heater in the room that was used to keep warm.

Aunt Li brought this heater herself because she was used to it. Although the Huo family has a humidifier, air purifier and air conditioner, she felt that placing a basin of water in front of the heater would provide better temperature and humidity.

But she didn't expect that the electrical appliances were aging, and because the socket plugs were not adjusted properly, they were gradually being baked and scorched. Sparks fell on the carpet and quickly caught fire.

When the fire gradually grew larger, people downstairs realized something was wrong.

"Oops! Oh no! There's a fire! The little lady is still inside!" Aunt Li was so frightened that she threw the bowl away and rushed upstairs.

Because the servants were eating together, as soon as Aunt Li finished speaking, a tall man suddenly stood up at the dining table.

When the people around him saw his face, they were so frightened that they became silent.

Because the man's face has been disfigured, his eyes, nose and mouth are covered with scars, and he looks scarier than a ghost.

But he moved faster than anyone else. Even before Aunt Li, he rushed upstairs, kicked open the door of the burning room, rushed to the baby's cradle, picked up the little sweet fruit, wrapped it in a sheet, and rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire.

The servants downstairs were almost frightened to death, especially Aunt Li. Her legs were so frightened that she was paralyzed on the ground. She almost killed the young lady.

Not only will his career be ruined, he may also go to jail.

Seeing the man coming out with the little sweet fruit in his arms, she hurriedly went up to check, "Hey, let me see if the lady is injured."

Everyone gathered around, and the man slowly untied the sheets in his hands, and then looked into a pair of eyes as big as black grapes.

The soft and waxy baby had woken up from sleep at this moment. She did not cry or fuss. Instead, she blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at the disfigured man in front of her. She suddenly grinned and let out a roaring laugh.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the little lady was fine.

At this time, the fire upstairs had been extinguished, and the housekeeper was so angry that he scolded Yuesao, "Aunt Li, I have advised you not to use that heater a long time ago. It is too dangerous! If it weren't for Jiang Feng, who would have been a little late this time, the young lady would have

Something big could happen."

Children at such a young age are the most fragile and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Aunt Li felt guilty, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I don't want the salary. I will resign when Mr. Huo and Miss Yu come back."

At this time, someone beside him whispered, "Aunt Li, now is not the time for you to admit your mistake. Take the young lady away quickly. Don't make the young lady cry with Jiang Feng's face."

Aunt Li couldn't help but glance at the tall man in front of her.

Facing his terrifying face, she couldn't help but shudder.
