Zhang Meiling met Xu Ying's cold eyes, and her heart tightened inexplicably. She stroked the two layers of hair on her forehead with trembling fingers, and said slowly with her mouth moving, "That's what I wanted to ask. I'm just a little curious."

“You know, some flavors that haven’t been shown yet are considered secrets by business people.

If it is leaked casually, there is a high possibility that someone else will steal your business.

Is this really what you want to ask, not Sun Xuanhao?" Xu Ying looked at her and asked seriously.

Zhang Meiling was shocked, her heart skipped a beat, and her hands and feet suddenly became cold, but thinking that Sun Xuanhao was so kind, she wanted to hide it: "It's not that he wanted to ask, I was really curious.

Since I can’t say it, forget it.”

Xu Ying looked at her, nodded slowly, and soon closed her eyes to rest.

Zhang Meiling noticed the change in Xu Ying and her heart began to tighten.

When Xu Ying opened her eyes, Zhang Meiling said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yingying, I didn't mean to pry into your business.

Please don't be angry with me."

Xu Ying stared at Zhang Meiling and said coldly, "You can't lie, your face turns red when you lie.

Why did you help Sun Xuanhao hide it? That's what he wanted to ask, right? "

Zhang Meiling didn't expect Xu Ying to know about it. She didn't want Xu Ying to misunderstand Sun Xuanhao, so she quickly explained, "Yingying, he didn't mean to ask, he just mentioned it when we were having dinner because he was curious.

I just wanted to ask, but I didn't realize it was a trade secret.

And Sun Xuanhao didn't ask me to ask you, it was my own idea, I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Xu Ying nodded calmly: "I understand, you don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong in this matter.

You must be exhausted these days, go back and have a rest early."

Zhang Meiling nodded with red eyes, then left with her luggage.

Xu Ying turned around and went back home with the man. It wasn't that she didn't want to persuade Zhang Meiling.

But people who are obsessed with a relationship cannot be persuaded, especially those who are in love. No matter how you persuade them, they can always find excuses for themselves.

Instead of this, it’s better to just ignore it, so she can feel more relaxed.

Xu Ying and Huo Chen returned to the fried chicken shop in front of the school.

As soon as he got back, Lu Aimin ran over with excitement on his face: "Huo Chen, you are finally back. Your father came to the store during the few days you were away."

Huo Chen heard this with a smile on his face: "Are they here to ask about the store? Did you do what I said?"

Lu Aimin nodded: "What you said is really amazing. I have done it according to what you said, but your father and your stepmother are too shameless."

He wanted to open a store, but felt that it would cost too much money, so he directly wanted Huo Chen to help him with part of the money, saying that he would pay it back after he made money, which sounded nice.

If you don’t make money, you won’t pay it back. How shameless.

Huo Chen had anticipated all this. When he was looking for someone to purchase those things that day, his stepfather looked distressed when he mentioned opening a store.

He guessed that the old man might not be willing to hand over the money.

It turned out that they actually did such a shameless thing.

"Don't worry about them, just tell them that the places are limited and make a quick decision." Huo Chen said directly.

Lu Aimin nodded, feeling a little sympathetic towards him.

He used to be quite envious when Huo Chen’s family came to visit him. Sometimes when he thought of his own biased parents, he wondered if he was not a biological child either.

But now that he has seen that Huo Chen's family doesn't care much about him, he is no longer envious. He doesn't want to make trouble for no reason and find two parents who treat him badly.

Today happened to be Sunday, and Xu Ying didn't have to go to school. Huo Chen drove Xu Ying mysteriously to the gate of a residential area.

Xu Ying got out of the car with a puzzled look on her face: "Why did you bring me here?"

Xu Ying smiled and said, "What's the matter? You want to buy a house?"

Huo Chen said nothing and took Xu Ying to the door of the newly bought house. Under Xu Ying's puzzled look, he took out the key and opened the door directly.

"How about it, do you like it?"

Xu Ying was shocked: "You bought a house? Here, what if we don't develop here?"

Huo Chen's eyes were dark and shiny: "You will go to school here for three years. This place is close to your school. We can live here in the future. It's very convenient.

We’ll talk about it later. Once we buy it, it will be our family property.”

After Huo Chen finished speaking, he directly handed the property certificate to Xu Ying, and Xu Ying's name was clearly written on it.

Looking at the property certificate, Xu Ying's mouth kept rising: "You just write my name, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

Huo Chen shook his head, hugged Xu Ying tightly and said, "You won't."

Xu Ying smiled and went into the house.

The new house has not been renovated yet, but she is still happy when she looks at her own house.

After they had toured the house, Huo Chen took his wife back.

As soon as she sat down in the store, Xu Ying's phone rang. As soon as she answered it, she heard the voice of Xu's mother missing her daughter.

"Hey, Yingying, when are you and Huo Chen going to come back for the New Year holiday?

By the way, can you come back to attend your cousin's wedding?"

"Jingjing is getting married? When? Let me check the time. Our winter vacation will probably last another week." Xu Ying said after calculating the days.

When Xu's mother heard this, she laughed and said, "That's perfect. Jingjing is getting married in two weeks. If we go there a few days early, we can just make it in time."

"Okay, tell me in advance when you come back, and your father and I will pick you up at the station." Xu's mother's voice was filled with joy. Her daughter was finally coming back. She had been away for several months and she was sick with lovesickness.

"Mom, you don't have to pick me up, Huo Chen can just drive me back."

When Xu's mother heard this, she was a little surprised: "You bought a car? A car?"

Xu Ying responded, and now Xu's mother was upset: "I heard that the car cost tens of thousands, and he bought it right away. I heard from Huo Chen's grandmother that he opened a store outside, and the business is good."

"It's good, otherwise I wouldn't buy a car."

The mother and daughter chatted for half an hour. If the phone bill hadn't been so expensive, Xu's mother would have chatted for much longer.

"What's wrong? What does mom want to talk to you about?" Huo Chen came back from taking a shower and saw that the phone had been hung up, so he asked curiously.

"She asked us when we can go back to celebrate the New Year. My cousin is getting married, and we can go back to attend.

I've been waiting for you for a long time. I wanted to talk to you for a few words, but you took more than half an hour to take a shower. I hung up because I thought the phone bill was too expensive." After Xu Ying finished speaking, she stood up and followed him to the bathroom.

Looking at her changed figure in the mirror, she was worried: "Have I gained a lot of weight? Does it look ugly?"

Huo Chen stood behind her and rubbed her hair: "No way, you've always been pretty."

Xu Ying curled her lips: "You're the only one who would say that. She's obviously much uglier."

Huo Chen said seriously: "I am not talking nonsense, you look very beautiful now.

In my eyes, you are the most beautiful no matter what you are like."

When Xu Ying heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face. It didn't matter. She would continue exercising after giving birth and would definitely be able to return to her previous shape.
