Chapter 107 He Came Back
A week later, it was the day to remove the plaster. Aunt Liu was busy preparing to accompany her early in the morning. Jian Mo sat at the dining table eating breakfast, a little absent-minded.
Huo Qichen had an appointment yesterday and sent her a message telling her not to wait as it might be very late, but now it's morning and he hasn't come back yet.
Didn’t we agree to accompany her to the hospital?
"Xiao Mo, what's wrong? You look so depressed and unhappy." Aunt Liu noticed Jian Mo's expression and quickly sat down to ask.
Jian Mo forced a smile, "Yes, you have taken care of me for so long. When I get better, I have to go back to the old house. I can't bear to leave you."
Aunt Liu was very happy with these words. At the end, she sighed, held Jian Mo's hand, and patted it reluctantly. "Aunt Liu likes you too, but someone needs to take care of grandpa. I'm worried about you leaving for too long."
She nodded in understanding.
"These days, I can see that your relationship with Achen has improved a lot. He doesn't like to express himself, is slow to express feelings, and has a cold personality. It's difficult for him to fall in love with someone." Aunt Liu advised earnestly. Jian Mo listened and silently added in her heart: And he has someone else in his heart.
"But Achen fell in love with you, and this is the best ending. Don't worry, when he likes someone, he will pick the stars for you. So, Xiaomo, don't worry about being with him. Although it may be a little hard, everything will be fine. Just bear with his bad temper."
Such good intentions made Jian Mo's nose ache. She nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Liu. I will."
Even she didn't know whether she had entrusted these words to the wrong person.
It was getting later and later, Jian Mo felt a little disappointed, but she didn't want to wait any longer, "Let's go."
As soon as they walked out of the yard, they saw Huo Qichen's Porsche coming from afar. Aunt Liu hurriedly said, "Achen is back!"
Jian Mo was surprised, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Seeing the car stopped in front of her, she ran over and grabbed the door: "Huo Qichen!"
The man's brow was a little tired, as if he hadn't slept all night. His dejection disappeared when he saw her. Huo Qichen curled his lips and said, "Why are you running so fast?"
"Why did you come back just now?" she asked directly.
"The business was a bit complicated and we talked about it all night."
Jian Mo sniffed and said, "You've been drinking."
"not much."
She believed that because of his status, not many people could get him drunk, so it would be better if he didn't force others to drink.
Huo Qichen opened the car door and motioned for her to get in. "To the hospital?"
Jian Mo nodded vigorously. Her anticipation for the entire morning finally came true, and she felt like she was floating as she walked.
When they arrived at the hospital, there were quite a lot of people and they had to queue. Jian Mo pulled Huo Qi Chen to sit on a chair in the corridor. He was holding a list in his hand and looked so conspicuous that many people looked at him with envy.
"Is it still Wan Jing's case? Why does it take so long to discuss?"
There was a hint of blue in Huo Qichen's eyes, which made him less sharp and more gentle.
"Yes, it's related to the Zhao family."
That was a political matter. No wonder it took so long to discuss. Jian Mo was a little worried. "Will you be investigated? This is no small matter. I heard that for things like this, all eighteen generations of ancestors will be investigated."
Huo Qichen was amused by her and crossed his legs. After a long night, he could finally relax. "It's not that complicated. They can't find anything about me. Zhou Liangqi will be in trouble."
He said it bluntly, and Jian Mo understood. He really would not suffer the loss in vain, and he was going to take revenge.
"What about the Zhao family?"
The team ahead was moving at a snail's pace. Not long after, a nurse came out, stood in front of the two men, and said softly, "Mr. Huo, the dean specifically asked for your attention. Do you think we need to make any arrangements in advance?"
Huo Qichen understood what he said, looking at the people in the queue, "No need, since we're already in line, there's no need for privileges."
Jian Mo sat on one side. She was not dissatisfied with his decision, but rather felt surprised. In her impression, Huo Qichen should be the kind of superior person who always took special channels to do everything, but at this moment, his calm and ordinary words surprised her.
The nurse understood and left. Jian Mo gave the man a thumbs-up. The man smiled faintly and responded softly to her question: "The higher-ups are trying to identify examples. The Zhao family's sentence won't be light."
No wonder Zhou Liangqi would also be in trouble. These complicated interests would inevitably be implicated.
Although Huo Qichen looked tired, he was obviously relaxed. It seemed that he was really sure of victory this time.
Finally it was Jian Mo's turn. The doctor took a look at her X-ray and prepared to remove the plaster. It didn't take long. Huo Qi Chen stood by and watched with a patient and focused look. After the plaster was removed, Jian Mo stretched her muscles and bones and felt less uncomfortable. She raised her head and looked into his eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Over the years, she has been accustomed to being independent, going to school alone, eating hot pot alone, and seeing a doctor alone. She can do many things alone, but now there is someone around her, which makes her feel a rare sense of security, an extreme sense of security.
Huo Qichen frowned when he saw her in a daze, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Jian Mo smiled and shook his head.
The doctor gave some medical instructions, Huo Qi Chen memorized them one by one, and left side by side with Jian Mo.
"I never thought that Mr. Huo would come to see the doctor in person." After the plaster was removed, Jian Mo moved much more freely and joked behind him.
Huo Qichen sneered: "Mr. Huo is having dinner in person."
She burst out laughing.
After getting in the car, Huo Qi Chen took out a document and handed it to her.
"What's this?" Jian Mo opened it and saw it was a contract. It was a promotion contract. He approved her to be the new director of the design department. "Huo Qichen..."
He pressed his eyebrows and said, "You are not mistaken, it is you."
"...Why, if I'm promoted now, the company might discuss our relationship."
"You have won the Jinxiu City project, which is a meritorious service. Besides, no one in the department is more qualified for this position than you." Huo Qichen opened his eyes and stared at her, "Jian Mo, I trust you."
There was nothing impure about it, just a simple sentence "I trust you", which made Jian Mo's heart confused. She was even a little touched by such affirmation.
"Thank you, Huo Qichen."
Seeing her happy, he raised his eyebrows and a silent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next day after the plaster was removed, Jian Mo went to the Huo's to report for work. Xiao Chen was the first to greet her, his face full of joy: "Xiao Mo! Congratulations!"
Jian Mo was hugged by her and almost couldn't breathe, "Okay, so many people are watching."
Xiao Chen let go of his hand and looked back at the people in the department who had different expressions. "So what? Now you are the director. Let's see who dares to speak nonsense. Everything depends on strength."
Someone passing by said disdainfully, "I don't know how long I can sit here."
It was Song Ke’s former lover. Xiao Chen wanted to refute, but was stopped by Jian Mo. She shook her head and said, “Let time speak.”
