Chapter 370: One in a Million Fate
When Cheng Jingqi said this, his eyes never left He Nianjun, as if he was a poisonous snake patrolling his territory.
He Nianjun huddled behind Huo Qinghuang, his fingers tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.
Her frail body trembled slightly, but she raised her head stubbornly: "I don't want your money, I just want an apology."
Huo Lingfeng pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses sharp as a knife: "Hasn't your Cheng family been trying to win the land in the south of the city recently? I heard that the Huo family is also interested in participating in the bidding."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Cheng Jingqi's head.
He suddenly pulled Bai Bingyan over and said sternly, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss He!"
Bai Bingyan's lips trembled, and she finally broke down under the gaze of everyone: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
"The sound is too quiet."
Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "Miss He's ears aren't very good, she can't hear."
"sorry!"
Bai Bingyan almost shouted, her tears mixed with her makeup covering her face.
Gu Lichen handed over a document at the right time: "This is the settlement agreement, Mr. Cheng, please sign it. One million in compensation, transfer it now."
"One million? Are you guys robbing me?"
Cheng Jingqi's face twisted and he spoke through gritted teeth.
"It's okay if you don't agree. My Gu family wants the land in the south of the city."
Gu Lichen took his hand back without saying a word.
"I'll sign it! I'll sign it, okay?"
Cheng Jingqi snatched the document and signed his name with tears in his eyes.
When the phone notification sounded, He Nianjun looked at the extra numbers in his account and his eyes instantly turned red.
For her, this one million is simply a life-saving straw. With this money, grandma will have money to pay for medical expenses.
Gu Lichen nodded and said, "This is what you deserve. I hope you can keep your original intention in the future."
"I will, thank you Mr. Gu!"
He Nianjun looked at Gu Lichen gratefully and bowed deeply.
Then, she grabbed Huo Qinghuang's arm.
"Thank you, Miss Huo! Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
He Nianjun held Huo Qinghuang's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and trust.
She knew in her heart that if Huo Qinghuang had not been there today, she might not even have the chance to see the surveillance footage and would have been wrongly accused and unable to defend herself.
After all, who would be willing to offend a big client like the Cheng family and clear the name of a grassroots person like her?
“…”
Huo Qinghuang pulled his hand back without showing any emotion.
No matter how pretty the girl is, she is not interested in women.
No, I'm not interested in either man or woman.
…
As the matter was resolved, Cheng Jingqi and Bai Bingyan left the hotel in shame, and the guests around them gradually dispersed.
The lobby returned to calm, with only Huo Qinghuang and He Nianjun left.
Gu Lichen was still chatting with Huo Lingfeng.
Huo Qinghuang carefully looked at He Nianjun twice, his eyes lingering on her brows for a moment, and suddenly reminded her softly: "The most important thing about your grandmother's illness is not the money."
He Nianjun froze: "Ms. Huo, how do you know my grandmother..."
"You have filial wrinkles between your eyebrows, but you don't have a parental affinity."
Huo Qinghuang seemed to be thinking about something, and then asserted: "Your biological father is still alive in the imperial capital."
These words hit He Nianjun's heart like a thunderbolt.
She staggered back two steps, her voice trembling: "I don't have a father! He abandoned mom and me, so mom..."
"Qinghuang."
Huo Lingfeng suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Gu seems to have something to talk to you about."
Gu Lichen stood not far away, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Huo Qinghuang asked casually.
"Ms. Huo, I have something to ask of you."
The next moment, Gu Lichen said, "I would like you to help me tell the whereabouts of a person. I wonder if Miss Huo can give me this favor?"
He had heard of Huo Qinghuang's reputation as a fortune teller a long time ago, and after witnessing her methods today, he was even more convinced.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked Gu Lichen up and down.
Well, Huagai meets Taiji, and his life is filled with purple energy. This guy has a good fate.
Not to mention that it is invaluable, but it is one in a million, it's just that the marriage is not so good.
Considering that this guy was quite pleasing to the eye, she nodded.
Gu Lichen was delighted and said quickly, "Thank you, Miss Huo. If you can find the other party and solve my doubts, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Tell me, who are you looking for? Do you have their birth date? Or any items they used?"
Huo Qinghuang raised his chin slightly, looking particularly noble and aloof, like a charlatan.
“Is this okay?”
Gu Lichen thought about it, took out a ring from his shirt pocket and placed it in Huo Qinghuang's palm.
"This is one of a pair of rings. She used to wear it often."
Gu Lichen explained, not knowing what he was remembering, and seemed a little dazed.
Huo Qinghuang picked up the ring in her hand and looked at it for a few seconds.
This is a women's ring. The surface is shiny and glossy, which means it has been rubbed so often that it is almost polished.
"It seems that Mr. Gu has not forgotten Miss Ji."
Just then, Huo Lingfeng suddenly said something.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyes to look at him.
He Nianjun was originally in a heavy mood, but after hearing this, he perked up a little. He stood silently behind Huo Qinghuang, pretending to be an invisible man, secretly preparing to eat melon.
Huo Lingfeng glanced at Gu Lichen and saw that he had no objection, so he said, "Miss Ji was Mr. Gu's first love. They were college classmates and were about to get engaged, but Miss Ji suddenly left without saying goodbye. It was said that she ran away with someone and settled abroad. She hasn't returned to China for nearly ten years, and no one has seen her."
“I see…”
Huo Qinghuang blinked, suddenly sighed, and looked at Gu Lichen with sympathy.
Gu Lichen's eyebrows twitched, and he felt uneasy when she looked at him.
"Ms. Huo..."
"Master Gu, your first love...she is already terminally ill and won't live long."
Huo Qinghuang said slowly: "She left you because she knew she had a terminal illness and didn't want to drag you down, so she chose to leave without saying goodbye."
Gu Lichen was struck by lightning and the blood instantly disappeared from his face.
His lips trembled slightly and his eyes were full of pain and regret.
"how so……"
Gu Lichen murmured to himself: "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you have to endure this alone?"
Seeing Gu Lichen's painful expression, Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "This is fate. You are just not destined to be together in this life. Now that you know the truth, if you want to see her for the last time, I can tell you her address."
Gu Lichen gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I want to go, I must go to see her. Miss Huo, please tell me where she is."
"In Eagle Country."
Huo Qinghuang nodded and told him the address.
Gu Lichen turned around and ran out of the hotel without saying a word.
At this moment, He Nianjun's cell phone suddenly rang.
She answered the phone. She didn't know what the other party said, and her face turned pale instantly.
