The news that Su's father wanted to talk to Huo Li about Su Ying and Huo Xiao's engagement spread quietly in the Huo family.
Huo Jie and Huo Chen could no longer sit still.
They never thought that this day would come so soon.
"What do you say we should do now? Didn't you say you would help me get the inheritance?!" Huo Jie was so anxious that he was running around in the room. He couldn't calm down at all. He could only pace back and forth to relieve his panic and anxiety.
Huo Chen sat on the sofa, looking at the extremely anxious him, his face irritated. "How did I know he could get Su Ying and her father so quickly? It's really disgusting. He's obviously a gay, and he even keeps a gigolo. That old man from the Su family made a hasty decision without even checking. Didn't he say Su Ying is his precious child? I even doubt whether he loves his daughter at all!"
"Wait a minute!" Huo Jie seemed to have grasped the key information. He stopped and his expression turned from good to happy. "Yes, they definitely don't know about the existence of that road yet. Why don't we tell them when our parents meet and our two families have dinner together?"
Huo Chen's expression brightened visibly. "That's right! As long as the matter between Huo Xiao and Lu Yanxi is exposed, I don't believe Su Ying will still like him. Even if Su Ying is willing to continue to be with him regardless of the past, that old man in the Su family may not agree! Then I wonder what Huo Xiao will do?!"
The two brothers hit it off immediately, made up their minds, and began secretly planning how to bring this matter to light inadvertently.
Time passed little by little. After Yan Xi came out of school, she once again did not wait for Huo Xiao's car immediately.
Liu Yang also called him and told Yan Xi that they couldn't leave today and couldn't come, so he asked him to go back first.
After Yan Xi hung up the phone, he became even more uneasy.
He stood blankly at the school gate for a long time.
The school gate became a little quiet from the initial bustle of people coming and going.
There were few people around and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Yan Xi thought for a long time and decided to call Huo Xiao.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."
Yan Xi frowned and had to hang up.
What has Huo Xiao been busy with recently?
Not answering the phone or replying to messages, are you playing hide-and-seek with him?
Yan Xi took a deep breath and sent him a message: [Huo Xiao, today is my birthday, are you free to come to my house?]
He stared at the screen for a long time, but there was still no movement.
I looked up at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Forget it, let’s go to the market to buy some ingredients first.
After buying groceries and returning home, Huo Xiao still didn't reply to his message.
Yan Xi wasn't sure whether he wanted to come, so she could only cook his share of the meal as well.
He was busy in the kitchen, and Grandma Lu was also busy, helping to wash and cut vegetables.
As the sky grew darker, Grandma Lu asked, "Xiaoxi, have you told Xiaohuo to come over for dinner?"
Yan Xi paused in cooking, tilted his head to glance at her, and thinking of the quiet chat box, he gave a stiff smile, "I've already informed him. He's been very busy lately, so he should be a little late."
Grandma Lu smiled and said, "That's right. He's not like you. He's a big boss and he's really busy. I don't know if you'll be as busy as him in the future. I'm really worried that I, an old woman, won't be able to see you every day in the future."
Yan Xi smiled faintly, "That's easy, right? I can just find a job that's easy and close to home. That way I can go home every day."
"You only know how to cheer me up. Where can you find a job like this?" Grandma Lu glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. "Forget it, it doesn't matter what kind of job you find, as long as you can support yourself. If I want to see you, grandma, can't I just call you via video?"
"That won't do. Grandma only wants to be satisfied with video calls, but I'm not satisfied yet. I want to go home every day to supervise you taking your medicine."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, whatever you say."
The grandfather and grandson were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, and before they knew it, the meal was ready and on the table.
But Huo Xiao hasn't given him any news yet.
Yan Xi frequently checked her phone, but repeatedly turned it off out of frustration.
Grandma Lu looked at the barely warm food and asked, "Why don't you give him a call and ask where he is now?"
"Okay." Yan Xi picked up the phone and walked to her bedroom. When she was about to dial, there was a ding-dong sound and Huo Xiao just sent a message.
Yan Xi was ecstatic and quickly clicked in to take a look.
[Sorry Yanxi, I have something to do today and can't come. Can I make it up to you tomorrow? ]
The smile in Yan Xi's eyes and eyebrows gradually disappeared. He really wanted to ask Huo Xiao why he couldn't come and why he was avoiding him these days.
After deleting and reducing the messages in the chat box, he finally said sympathetically: "It's okay, you should take care to rest and don't get too tired."
Huo Xiao: [Yes.]
Yan Xi stared at the word "hmm", and his heart sank little by little.
It's a bit cold.
He knew that this guy liked to use this word, but this time, he felt that it had a perfunctory and other meanings.
Yan Xi slowly lowered her hands and sat on the bed, Huo Chen's words flashing through her mind unconsciously.
Huo Xiao, what are you doing?
Why do I feel like you are getting farther and farther away from me?
