Mr. Huo was unhappy and put another chicken leg into Yu Ruan Ruan's bowl, "Our Ruan Ruan has only had a few bites."
"Grandpa, I'm full. It just so happens that the college entrance examination is coming soon. I want to go home early to review my homework."
Yu Ruanruan was already sitting on pins and needles, but when she saw Huo Xu issuing an order to exclude guests, she immediately became angry and said, "Let's just stop here for today's meal! I'll come see you another day when I have a chance."
Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Okay, let Xiao Xu take you home. Don't put too much pressure on your studies. The Huo family can afford to support you."
Yu Ruanruan's face heated up and she coughed slightly, "We still can't say what will happen in the future."
"You are the granddaughter-in-law of my Huo family. It is only natural that the Huo family should support you. Where did you come from?"
The old man made a serious face and glanced at Huo Xu, who was silent next to him: "Did this brat make you angry again? He is still entangled with that girl Cheng Cheng?"
"No, no, no...Grandpa, you misunderstood! It has nothing to do with him!" Yu Ruanruan saw the old man's dark face and scolded Huo Xu, fearing that Huo Xu would resent her again.
She has been working very hard to improve her favorability.
Just as she was about to explain, a hot palm suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the chair.
Huo Xu said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, it's getting late. Ruanruan has to go to school tomorrow. I'll take her back first."
"Brat!"
While Huo Zhengang was cursing, Yu Ruanruan was pulled by Huo Xu and staggered out of the restaurant.
The Huo Family Manor has been located on this land for a hundred years. The roses in the courtyard are in bloom. In the past, lilies of the valley were planted here.
She originally liked lily of the valley, but later she learned that Yu Chengcheng also liked it, so she tyrannically asked the housekeeper to eradicate all the lilies of the valley in the yard and plant roses instead.
But since then, Huo Xu has never returned to the manor to live.
He hates her and even dislikes the flowers she grows.
There are no lights on in the yard.
Yu Ruanruan was forcefully pulled out of the living room by Huo Xu. In the darkness, she felt that the palm of her hand against the skin of her wrist was burning as if it was about to burst into flames.
The force that restrained her like an iron plier reminded her of the scene in her previous life when this man gently put handcuffs and shackles on her.
"Are you afraid of me? Just be afraid of me. Remember the pain now. Don't get close to me in the next life, or you will become unfortunate."
The man's beautiful voice was like a demon, trying to drag her soul into hell.
Yu Ruanruan closed her eyes and shook off the terrible memories in her mind, "You... just go back and ask the driver to take me off. Don't force yourself."
The force on the wrist became a little stronger.
The air pressure around Huo Xu's body was low and cold, and there was a chill between his brows and eyes. He dragged her silently and stuffed her into the passenger seat of the car.
…
In the car, Yu Ruanruan lowered her head obediently.
The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
In the past, if Huo Xu took the initiative to send her home, she would be so happy that her tail would be raised to the sky.
But now, she no longer dares to be sentimental.
Sure enough, as the car drove into the city center, Huo Xu's phone rang. It was a call from his assistant.
He didn't shy away from her and directly pressed the speakerphone to answer.
"Master Huo, we have stopped several batches of goods from the Shen family this time, but with little success. Miss Cheng Cheng is still in contact with Shen Mo."
"Keep up the pressure." Huo Xu's eyes were cold, he dropped these four emotionless words and hung up the phone.
Yu Ruoruan laughed at herself in her heart.
Look, this guy only thinks about Yu Chengcheng.
I guess sending her back this time was just to give him an excuse to see Cheng Cheng.
Fortunately, she didn't act too sentimental just now!
Yu Ruanruan was a little angry, but she didn't notice that when this thought flashed through her mind, the casual man next to her glanced at her lightly.
