Yin Ruohong watched the mother and daughter's backs quietly, her vision gradually blurring.
He lost his focus and dropped the cage to the ground. The little Siamese cat meowed helplessly a few times and began scratching at the cage door with its paws.
At that moment, a strong arm supported him.
Yin Ruohong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and met Huo Zhixing's complicated gaze.
"you……"
"President Yin," Huo Zhixing picked up the cage, "aren't you going in?"
Yin Ruohong's eyes were still red, and she took several deep breaths before her emotions calmed down.
Huo Zhixing felt a strange sense of sympathy for him.
Actually, he felt something was wrong when Jiang Can started making this arrangement, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, he couldn't bear to interrupt her.
Today, Yin Ruohong met with Yin Wenxi, and fearing something might happen, he stayed here to keep an eye on things.
Seeing the old man's shocked and repentant expression, he felt a mix of emotions.
After he died in the plane crash, Yin Ruohong brought him special medicine to treat him.
Despite saying he wouldn't interfere in the Yao family's affairs, he still treated Yao Wanyin's illness.
Even on the day his grandfather fainted, he was gloating one second and then immediately rushed to the Huo family manor with his medicine box the next.
Yes, he did it for Jiang Can, but he also helped Huo Wenyuan out of a crisis.
Not to mention the many lives saved by the high-quality, inexpensive medicines produced by the Yin family every year.
From this perspective, Yin Ruohong seems to be a good person.
However, only Yoon Moon-hee personally experienced his wickedness.
People are really complex. You can't label someone as good or bad based on just one or two things.
In the adult world, there are no clear black and white; most of the time, it's gray.
"I..." Yin Ruohong was silent for a long time, her voice still a little choked up, "I won't go. Can Can should like this cat... Could you give it to her for me?"
“The one who likes this cat shouldn’t be Can Can.” Huo Zhixing looked at him meaningfully. “It should be my mother-in-law, Yin Wenxi.”
Yin Ruohong's heart skipped a beat.
He was unsteady on his feet and felt dizzy.
“President Yin,” Huo Zhixing sighed softly, “I’d better have someone take you home to get some rest.”
"Huo Zhixing..." Yin Ruohong's voice was weak, "You little brat, do you know something?"
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly and remained silent.
“Heh,” Yin Ruohong muttered under her breath, “I should have guessed it sooner, Fu Xiuyu’s mouth is a sieve…”
"I don't know anything." Huo Zhixing patted his shoulder. "All I know is that the two women inside will be protected by the two of us from now on."
Yin Ruohong was stunned. After a long while, a firm and gratified look appeared in his eyes.
Hmm, this son-in-law is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye than the previous ones.
Not only is he smart, but he also speaks eloquently.
Yin Ruohong nodded, picked up the cage, and walked unsteadily toward the car by the roadside.
Since Old Chen didn't come along, Huo Zhixing asked Fang Han to drive.
After they had walked away, he strolled into the coffee shop.
Jiang Can was surprised to see him. "Why are you here?"
Huo Zhixing smiled and sat down next to her. "There are some details about the United Hospital project that need to be finalized. I have an appointment with someone. I'll go to the office in a bit."
"What?" Jiang Can looked at him. "Is there a meeting today? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"You're the big boss, you don't need to worry about such trivial matters." Huo Zhixing put an arm around her shoulder. "With me, the little henchman, here, the big boss can finally relax!"
Jiang Can smiled, her big eyes shining with happiness.
Huo Zhixing excused himself to order coffee and pulled Jiang Can aside to whisper, "Chairman Yin also needs to discuss the details, so she can't come today. You should explain this to Mom properly."
"Oh..." Jiang Can was quite disappointed.
"President Yin said, maybe next time." Huo Zhixing made the decision for his father-in-law. "Next time, when he's feeling better, he'll definitely come and exchange cat-raising tips with Mom."
"Okay." Jiang Can pouted, took out her phone, and muttered to herself in confusion, "Even if Uncle Yin isn't coming, he should at least send me a message..."
"Perhaps he forgets when he gets busy."
Huo Zhixing suddenly pulled Jiang Can into his arms and rubbed her head.
Jiang Can felt the man's intense aura, but since this was a public place, she still felt a little embarrassed and punched him lightly.
"Let me go..."
"Cancan".
"What's wrong?"
Huo Zhixing's heart tightened.
He recalled Jiang Can walking on a muddy road in a white wedding dress amidst strong winds and heavy rain.
I remember how timid and hesitant she was in that dilapidated house.
I remember her agreeing to marry in place of her mother to raise money for her medical expenses; I remember her failing to get her dowry and trying to secretly sell his family heirloom, only to resolutely take it back at the last moment…
He hugged her tighter, a sour feeling rising in his nose.
“Can Can,” he said in a deep voice, “I will make up for all the suffering you have endured in the past.”
"What are you saying out of the blue?" Jiang Can said, both amused and exasperated.
He smiled and looked at her intently.
He didn't know what he was saying; he just felt heartbroken.
Yin Wenxi, who was not far away, was looking in this direction.
She frowned slightly; her heartbeat seemed unusually irregular today.
Something seems amiss...
...
After the first meeting failed, Jiang Can planned to arrange a second meeting.
However, she has been busy with work lately, with many trivial matters and a lot of pressure, so she has temporarily put the matter aside.
As soon as she entered Yufeng Media that day, she was greeted by Manager Hao.
"Good morning!" Jiang Can smiled. "Manager Hao is always so dedicated!"
"Miss Jiang is too kind," Manager Hao said with a kind and respectful expression.
"Mr. Fu didn't come today?"
"Oh, Ms. Fu is taking an early morning flight back to England," Manager Hao explained. "She has some work she wants me to assign to you."
Jiang Can took off her coat, changed into her usual work suit, and immediately got to work.
Manager Hao handed her a document.
"This is a new film that Yufeng Media is preparing to produce."
Jiang Can nodded. The investment amount was large, but the data analysis results indicated that the return on investment would also be high.
But she had never met this director before.
Jiang Can looked at Manager Hao with a puzzled expression: "Who is Wu Sheng?"
Manager Hao smiled meaningfully and lowered his voice to tell her, "It's the director of this film, Wu Sheng. He's from Jiangzhou and wasn't very famous until this year when he got some incredible luck and won a major international award, becoming an overnight sensation. Ha, otherwise, they wouldn't have let someone like him take the lead in such a big production."
"What kind of person is he?" Jiang Can asked curiously.
"The films he made before... were all those kinds of movies." Manager Hao scoffed lightly, "All kinds of borderline films, all kinds of loopholes. Ha, in short, Miss Jiang can tell what kind of person he is just by meeting him."
"Okay." Jiang Can smiled. "So what do we do now?"
"Preparing a variety show can also be considered a way to promote the film," Manager Hao replied. "This variety show is a talent show for celebrities; we'll be publicly selecting actors for the film."
