The two of them said in unison, "Who's with him!"

Huo Zhixing was puzzled; the two of them looked as if they had just had a heated argument.

Moreover, when I walked this way just now, I vaguely saw two people talking.

It turned out to be the two of them.

Huo Zhixing's expression darkened; he wondered what grudge they had against each other.

"Hey!" Yin Ruohong's eyes widened immediately upon seeing him. "What are you still doing here? Weren't you supposed to be introducing your girlfriend to your parents today?"

"I'm just about to pick her up."

"Then hurry up and go!" Yin Ruohong wished she could kick him in the butt.

“President Yin,” Huo Zhixing frowned, “what is this…”

"I've been lost in a maze, I've gone the wrong way!" Yin Ruohong rolled her eyes and got into her car.

After his car drove away, Huo Zhixing looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.

Before I could even ask, my mother blurted out, "What bad luck!"

"Mom, what's going on?"

"I saw a ghost in broad daylight!"

"..."

Huo Zhixing asked helplessly, "Mom, do you know Yin Ruohong?"

Fu Xiuyu remained silent for a long time, her expression gloomy.

Huo Zhixing became even more convinced that there was a hidden past between them.

"Mom?" He suddenly realized, his expression changing. "This person wouldn't be... the reason you got divorced back then, would it?"

Fu Xiuyu glared at him and slapped him across the face.

"Do you think your mother is blind?! Even if I cheated on her, I wouldn't date someone like that!"

"So how did you two meet?"

"us……"

Fu Xiuyu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She suddenly remembered that Yin Wenxi had told her that she didn't want to talk about the past anymore, and she didn't want the younger generation to know. She just wanted to live a quiet life from now on.

So she coughed lightly twice and waved her hand.

"It's nothing, just a minor grudge from before... Anyway, don't be polite to this person in the future!"

Huo Zhixing was even more confused, and at the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If it hadn't been confirmed that Yin Ruohong had nothing to do with the plane crash, he would have really thought that his mother was acting this way towards Yin Ruohong because of him.

"Hey, stop standing there!" Fu Xiuyu glanced at him impatiently. "Aren't you going to pick up Cancan? It's so late, why aren't you going yet!"

"If Can Can arrives late, that old man will nitpick again..."

She spoke as she walked in with firm steps.

Huo Zhixing called out to her, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I'm going to pay my respects to your grandfather!"

"..." Huo Zhixing was speechless. "Tell the truth!"

Fu Xiuyu paused, "I really will go and say hello to him! And by the way... remind him that our Cancan is not someone to be trifled with!"

Huo Zhixing laughed.

He knew that his mother would spare no effort in his relationship with Jiang Can.

Soon, Huo Zhixing brought Jiang Can to the Huo family manor.

This is Jiang Can's first time here. The last time he saw this place was in Huo Zhixing's video. At that time, he was sitting in the courtyard, under a sky full of stars, with the soft light falling on him, and behind him were unique buildings and rolling mountains.

Now that I'm here, it feels like a dream.

Huo Wenyuan's study is very large, like a library, with bookshelves almost as tall as the ceiling, filled with works by experts from various disciplines.

Even so, you can still hear the echo with every step you take.

Jiang Can sat on the sofa, nervously clutching the hem of her skirt. Huo Zhixing gently intertwined his fingers with hers, giving her a reassuring smile.

Huo Wenyuan, dressed in a Tang suit, sat upright behind the table. Although he was old, he was still very energetic. He looked at Jiang Can with a deep and complicated expression in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang, please have some tea." He was quite polite to her.

Jiang Can nodded slightly, and before drinking the tea, she watched how Huo Zhixing did it, and slowly took a small sip in the same manner as him.

Huo Wenyuan could tell that she was a smart girl, not impulsive or abrupt, and even with Huo Zhixing by her side, she was still very polite and knew to keep her distance from her elders.

If it were someone else, they might think they could act recklessly just because Huo Zhixing is backing them up.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Huo Wenyuan's lips.

He chatted casually with Jiang Can, and no matter what he asked, Jiang Can's answers were always perfectly tactful.

The conversation didn't last long. When Jiang Can came out of the study, she felt lightheaded, as if a taut string had suddenly relaxed, leaving her feeling weak and powerless.

"So nervous?" Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder and smiled gently. "Actually, I could tell that Grandpa was very satisfied with you just now."

"Is that so?" Jiang Can didn't think so.

Elderly members of such families are usually stubborn and will not easily change their opinions of a person.

"Based on my understanding of him, I think he has accepted you."

"He never rejected me before!" Jiang Can smiled mischievously. "He even asked me to be your mistress!"

"you……"

Huo Zhixing glared at her and reached out to tickle her.

Jiang Can quickly stopped him, making a shushing gesture. "Don't do this in your own home!"

"Hmm," the man chuckled, his voice hoarse, "Wait until we get home, and see how I deal with you!"

Jiang Can blushed, pushed him away, and walked forward.

“Can Can,” he said, taking her hand and gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb, “I’ll have Fang Han take you home first. I have to stay here to handle some company matters.”

"Oh." She nodded.

"I have a lot of work backlog from recently, so I need some time." He looked at her apologetically, "I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you."

"It's alright, you should focus on your work."

"Would you like to take a stroll around the manor? I'll have Fang Han accompany you."

“I’m not going,” she shook her head. “I’m going to my mother’s house. She’s not feeling well today.”

Huo Zhixing was taken aback and immediately wanted to call a doctor to take a look.

Jiang Can smiled and pressed his hand down. "My mom's problem is emotional, there's no need for a doctor to come. She's probably just thinking about some things from the past and feeling a bit melancholy."

Huo Zhixing nodded and repeatedly told her, "If Mom has any more emergencies, be sure to let me know!"

Jiang Can agreed and got into the car alone. The car slowly drove towards the entrance of the manor.

The Huo family members are all very good at reading people's expressions and moods.

The driver knew how important Jiang Can was to Huo Zhixing; she might just be the future third young mistress. So, from the moment Jiang Can got into the car, he was exceptionally attentive.

Not only did he drive very steadily and slowly, but he also introduced the estate to her while driving.

“Miss Jiang, not far from here is the Third Young Master’s residence. It’s the only English-style design in the entire estate, because our young master grew up in England!”

“Miss Jiang, look over there… Ah, that’s the manor’s golf course. And over there… on that mountain, there’s also the Huo family’s horse farm.”

"Our young master often rides horses there; his equestrian skills are top-notch!"

"And that..."

The driver suddenly fell silent and gave an awkward laugh.

Jiang Can blinked. "What happened there? Is there something you can't tell me?"
