"Boss, are you sure it's tomorrow?" Xing Zhao said, fearing he would be scolded, and quickly protected his head, "Then I'll go tell them now!"
Xing Zhao called Huo Shu, who hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you will show up this time? Last time we waited for three hours."
"The last time was an accident. Anyway, it's a long story. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Xing Zhao hung up the phone immediately without saying a word.
After answering the phone, Huo Shu went to a meeting. After the meeting, he learned from his secretary that Huo Yuli had arrived, and hurriedly reported to him.
Huo Yuli's reaction was very calm. He just nodded to show that he understood.
"By the way, how is the investigation into Xu Chuxiao going?"
Huo Shu was stunned and asked tentatively, "Why do you suddenly care about this?"
Huo Yuli pondered for a moment and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from the hospital.
"Excuse me, are you Jiang Siyu's relative or friend? Miss Jiang is missing in the hospital. Can you come to the hospital now?"
If it were before, Huo Yuli would be very nervous.
But during this period of time, Jiang Siyu had disappeared and threatened to commit suicide many times, and he had long lost his patience.
"I can't. Nothing will happen to her. Just wait. She will show up soon."
After saying that, Huo Yuli hung up the phone.
Huo Shu rarely saw him so impatient, and he also heard some clues, and said carefully, "You told the old man about the engagement some time ago, right?"
"Um."
Huo Yuli now regrets that he shouldn't have mentioned this matter to his grandfather.
It is too early for him and Jiang Siyu to get engaged now, and he now thinks he doesn't know her well enough.
"You regret it." Huo Shu sat in front of him, clasped his hands, and said earnestly, "I am now advising you as your uncle. If you really can't accept Jiang Siyu's current appearance and you don't love her, then you don't have to force yourself to be with her just for the sake of our previous relationship."
"It's not that I can't accept it... I just feel that she has changed too much since she was a child."
When she was a child, she was free and cheerful, but when she grew up, she became calculating all the time.
"Besides, I feel like I can't see through her at all."
Huo Yuli propped up his chin and said, "Uncle, can people really change so much?"
This was not the first time he had such doubts. He always found excuses for himself before, but now, those excuses could no longer convince him.
"Generally speaking, appearance will change, but character will not." Huo Shu had no good impression of Jiang Siyu. Seeing that he asked this question, he answered objectively and rationally, "I hope you can think it through. Even if you want to help her for the sake of our childhood friendship, you can help her in other ways instead of sacrificing your life."
"If she needs money, you can give her money. If she needs a job or resources, you can introduce her to them. You really need to think carefully about marriage. Or think about it, do you want her to be the first person you see when you wake up every day?"
Huo Yuli was thinking silently, and Huo Shu said again, "You don't have to answer me, just answer your heart."
In the end, Huo Yuli did not tell Huo Shu his decision.
But he still went to find Jiang Siyu. After all, she suffered from depression. If something really happened to her, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He drove to the amusement park alone, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Siyu at first sight.
Today is the day the amusement park is closed. Jiang Siyu is sitting at the gate of the amusement park in a thin hospital gown, attracting a lot of attention.
She hugged her knees and looked at the floor until Huo Yuli walked in front of her, then she raised her head.
"Yu Li, you are here."
Jiang Siyu was uncharacteristically no longer trying to get close to him like before, but pointed at the amusement park and asked, "Do you remember this place?"
"……Remember."
Huo Yuli looked indifferent, "This is where we first confirmed our relationship."
"Yes." Jiang Siyu held her face in her hands, lost in beautiful memories, "I was so happy at that time. At that time, I said in my heart that I want to be with you forever."
Revisiting the old place, Huo Yuli was overwhelmed with emotions. He didn't want to believe that Jiang Siyu had changed, but he couldn't convince himself that she was still the kind girl.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Siyu shed two more tears, "Yu Li, I know you won't believe me no matter what I say now, but the reason I did this is because I envy Liu Huanyi."
"envious?"
Huo Yuli frowned, neither believing nor understanding.
"Yes, she has family, friends, and classmates, and can participate in competitions, but I have nothing... Even in performances, she is first and I am second. She is so amazing and dazzling. As long as she appears, everyone's attention will be stolen by her. But Yu Li, I have nothing except your love, and I don't want you to be attracted to her."
Jiang Siyu wanted to play the victim, but he ruthlessly exposed her.
"Except for her family, you have everything she has. As for the competition, if you have the ability to sign up, you can also participate."
Jiang Siyu bit her lower lip and said, "Yu Li, that's not what I meant. I envy her for being able to do everything."
"True envy should be about becoming someone as good as her, not playing tricks behind her back. Do you think you can get ahead if you pull her down?"
Huo Yuli looked serious, and Jiang Siyu became more and more panicked.
When a man starts to face up to right and wrong, it means that his heart is no longer with the woman.
Jiang Siyu bit her lower lip pitifully, "You are right. But do I still have a chance to correct it now?"
"have."
Huo Yuli's mind kept flashing back to his childhood scenes. He couldn't say any more harsh words to Jiang Siyu, and she also said she knew she was wrong.
Jiang Siyu said softly, "Yu Li, I will go back and reflect on it. Please don't hate me, okay?"
"...Okay, get up. The ground is cold."
Huo Yuli did not answer directly, but hesitated and reached out to her. Jiang Siyu happily grabbed his large palm and repeated in a low voice: "Yuli, I really know I was wrong. Don't be angry with me, I will change."
"Let's go."
Jiang Siyu walked in front and Huo Yuli walked behind, and the two had completely different moods.
Jiang Siyu was feeling smug that Huo Yuli had been tricked into coming to her again, while Huo Yuli frowned as he looked at her back.
Can she really change considering the way she lies all the time now?
"Yu Li, hurry up and go."
Jiang Siyu was about to take his arm, but Huo Yuli dodged her.
"I'll go drive first, you wait here for me."
"good."
Jiang Siyu smiled sweetly, but her heart was thinking about Huo Yuli's dodging just now.
"Yu Li, I'm fine now and I don't want to go back to the hospital. Can I go to your house? I can't rest well in the dormitory."
Huo Yuli refused directly, "It's not convenient. I have to go to discuss business tomorrow and I don't have time to stay home with you. You should go to the dormitory."
"I can be alone. I want to spend more time with you." Jiang Siyu tried her best to act coquettishly, but it was no use.
Huo Yuli dropped her off at the school gate and left in a hurry.
