Chapter 32 You Fake Fan
The science and technology expo in City C lasts for six days, and today is the second day. The number of visitors is still very high.
After finally getting into the robot exhibition area, Lu Fengqing stared at the bizarre robots that were completely contrary to her aesthetic sense and asked expressionlessly, "You came here just to see this?"
Huo Huai'an didn't hide anything from her, "Sui Xing and I started a company together, mainly focusing on smart hardware and IoT platforms. I came here to take a look and will ask Uncle Xie for advice later."
Xie Chaoyin, the third son of the Xie family, not only possesses excellent technical skills but also has a keen business sense. In just a few years, he single-handedly built Chaoxing Technology into the largest internet company in China. His achievements are evident to all, and anyone who receives his guidance will undoubtedly benefit greatly.
Lu Fengqing looked Huo Huai'an up and down. "You and Uncle Huo have fallen out?"
The Huo family has a simple family structure. As the sole heir of the Huo family, Huo Huai'an will eventually own the entire Huo family. He doesn't need to go out on his own unless he has a strong ambition and wants to prove himself.
Based on her understanding of Huo Huai'an, he wasn't a very idealistic person; he seemed more like someone who had nothing better to do.
"No, not at all," Huo Huai'an said. "I mainly wanted to try something different."
Everyone knows that artificial intelligence is the future trend. The Huo family makes home appliances, so it's not entirely unrelated to the Internet of Things that he and Gu Suixing are currently working on. If done well, it will greatly help the future development of the Huo family.
Speaking of this, Huo Huai'an took the opportunity to ask, "So, are you interested in helping your brother?"
Others may not know about the young lady's computer skills, but he and Gu Suixing knew them all too well, having accompanied her to competitions and watched her win awards since she was a child.
Lu Fengqing: "Not interested."
Huo Huai'an had expected this, so he shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more.
The reason this technology exhibition attracted so many people was because of a highly realistic "female" intelligent robot on display. This robot not only has a beautiful appearance, but it is also equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology, allowing it to converse and chat with humans.
Lu Fengqing watched as Huo Huai'an talked to the robot like a country bumpkin, her expression blank. She took out her phone, recorded a short video of him, and posted it on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "[I never expected to see a 'country bumpkin in the city' show at a tech expo.]"
There were so many people visiting the robot that each person only had two minutes to interact with it. When Huo Huai'an was asked to leave by the staff, he kept looking back, looking incredibly embarrassed.
Seeing that the person was about to return to her, Lu Fengqing moved aside with a look of disgust.
This guy, completely oblivious to the situation, asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Fengqing: "That's so stupid. Stay away from me."
Huo Huai'an: "Sister, don't you think your brother is stupid? Haven't you heard?"
Lu Fengqing wasn't buying it. "Save those words for Sui Sui."
After strolling around the robot exhibition area, the two were about to leave when a voice called out to Lu Fengqing.
"Miss."
Just as Lu Fengqing was about to turn around, the other person had already circled around to stand in front of her.
He was a young man.
The young man, holding his phone, smiled somewhat sheepishly and asked, "Can we add each other as friends?"
Lu Fengqing calmly took Huo Huai'an's hand, "Sorry, my boyfriend doesn't allow me to add members of the opposite sex as friends."
She wants to find a man to marry, but she doesn't like just anyone.
She's tired of relationships with younger men and younger men with "wolf dogs," and she's not interested in "puppy dogs" anymore. Now she just wants to date someone a little older than her.
The child in front of her looked very young and wasn't her type.
The young man was a little embarrassed. "Isn't he your brother?"
They had obviously overheard the conversation between the two.
Huo Huai'an cooperated and said, "No."
The young man blushed and apologized several times before running back to his friends.
Huo Huai'an clicked his tongue, "You've got some nerve."
It's fortunate it was him; if it were some ancestor, they probably would have made the kid cry.
Lu Fengqing suddenly felt as if she had kicked something. Looking down, she saw a small hacker-themed pendant.
The little hacker, wearing a black hood, looks both mysterious and adorable.
Huo Huai'an: "What's wrong?"
Lu Fengqing picked up the item, threaded her index finger through the clasp, and waved it in front of Huo Huai'an. "Found a little thing."
Huo Huai'an glanced at it.
The small pendants are poorly made and made of cheap materials. If they lie on the ground for a few more minutes, they will either be picked up by a child or swept away by a cleaning lady.
Lu Fengqing noticed an obvious gap between the front and back of the small pendant. She tried to open it, and a photo appeared in front of them.
Huo Huai'an recognized the person in the photo and paused, "Aunt Wan?"
Lu Fengqing asked him, "Do you know him?"
Huo Huai'an pointed at the photo with his index finger, "Your idol's twin sister, the fourth young lady of the Xie family, Xie Chaowan."
He clicked his tongue, "You fake fan."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
One had long hair and the other had short hair, so it was normal for Lu Fengqing not to recognize them at first glance.
Huo Huai'an: "Let's go and return the lost item to its owner."
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Fengqing saw the woman in the photo at the lost and found.
The Xie family is a scholarly family with a high reputation and good family traditions; for generations, they have been teachers and educators. The woman in front of him looked to be in her early thirties, and she was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. She wore a dark blue cheongsam, and her slightly wavy hair was draped behind her head. She naturally exuded a classical and serene scholarly aura.
"Hello. Here are your keys." Lu Fengqing handed the bunch of keys to the woman.
"Thank you." Xie Chaowan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she held the small pendant to her chest with both hands.
Her expression was gentle and tender, as if this cheap and roughly made little pendant was very important to her.
The woman who accompanied Xie Chaowan said, "This little thing may not look valuable, but it's very important to our Fourth Miss. Thank you so much, thank you so much."
Xie Chaowan looked at Huo Huai'an and smiled gently, "I remember you. You're Sui Xing's cousin, Huai'an, right?"
The Xie and Gu families are also related by marriage. Gu Suixing's aunt, Gu Zhenying, married into the Xie family and became Xie Chaowan's sister-in-law.
Although Gu Suixing used to study in S City, he would return to A City every winter and summer vacation to visit his grandfather, Gu Jinhong. Whenever Gu Suixing returned to A City, Gu Zhenying would always invite him to visit the Xie family for a few days. Sometimes he would bring Huo Huai'an along. This guy was good at sweet-talking people, and Huo Huai'an was very outgoing. Before long, he became familiar with the Xie family.
Huo Huai'an said with a smile, "Aunt Wan has a really good memory."
The woman whispered a reminder from the side: "Fourth Miss, if we don't go back soon, Third Master will worry."
"I understand." Xie Chaowan didn't leave immediately, but looked at Lu Fengqing.
Some people you can't stand even after looking at them for most of your life, while others you'll like the look of the first time you see them.
Whether it was because he helped her find the little pendant or something else, Xie Chaowan, who was usually slow to warm up to people, had a good impression of Lu Fengqing and asked, "Girlfriend?"
Huo Huai'an: "...Sui Xing's girlfriend."
Lu Fengqing glanced speechlessly at the person who was talking nonsense.
Xie Chaowan's smile deepened. "Come to think of it, it's been many years since I've seen Suixing. When you come to the manor, remember to visit me and invite Suixing along. I'll treat you to some small cakes. Suixing used to love my small cakes the most."
Huo Huai'an nodded, "Okay."
Xie Chaowan said to the woman beside him, "Let's go."
Watching the two leave, Lu Fengqing raised her elbow and poked Huo Huai'an hard in the chest.
"ah!"
Huo Huai let out a mock soft exclamation, but couldn't help laughing out loud as he bent over.
After leaving the technology exhibition, Huo Huai'an drove directly to the Xie family manor.
It takes about seventy minutes to drive from the city center to the suburban manor. Lu Fengqing didn't sleep well last night and slept almost the whole way.
By the time they arrived at the manor, it was already evening.
The estate covers a very large area and has a tranquil environment. As the car drove into the estate, the scenery was beautiful and pleasant, which made people feel much better.
All guests were accommodated by the manor. Lu Fengqing and Huo Huai'an were assigned room number 2033, a two-bedroom suite.
As the two arrived at the room door and were about to go in, they caught a glimpse of two familiar figures approaching.
Huo Huai'an called out, "Sui Xing, Miss Qin."
Lu Fengqing looked at Gu Suixing.
Last night, when he was tormenting her, she said a lot of hurtful things in a fit of anger. This morning, when he spoke in her ear, she seemed to have slapped him...
In short, the two parted on bad terms.
However, Lu Fengqing showed no remorse or guilt whatsoever; he was the one who started the trouble, so she had no reason to blame herself.
Gu Suixing seemed not to hear Huo Huai'an's shouts, and went into the next room expressionlessly, ignoring everyone.
Huo Huai'an pulled his suitcase and followed, "Why are you running?"
"Miss Lu." Qin Xuan nodded politely to Lu Fengqing, and without lingering, followed her inside.
Before long, only Lu Fengqing was left in the corridor.
Lu Fengqing pouted and slammed the door shut behind her.
