The two of them ate in silence when suddenly a knock on the door broke the eerie atmosphere.
Yan Xi quickly made an excuse to get up and said, "I'll go open the door."
Walking to the door, Yan Xi opened it and saw Huo Xiao standing outside with a frown on his face. Seeing that it was him who opened the door, he hurriedly and nervously pulled him up and looked him up and down, "I heard there was a fire in your school today. Are you okay?"
Yan Xi was bothered by Grandma Lu's presence inside, so although she was very happy about his concern, she still hurriedly pulled his hand down and said, "I'm fine. But you must be very busy today, right?"
With what happened to Huo Chen, the group's stock price has plummeted, and everyone in the group must be having a headache.
Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly: "Fortunately, emergencies happen from time to time, I'm used to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Lu inside stretched her neck and asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, who is this? Why don't you come in and sit down?"
Yan Xi turned around and said, "It's Senior Huo. He heard that there was a fire in our school today and was a little worried about me, so he came over to ask if I was okay."
Hearing that it was Huo Xiao, Grandma Lu hesitated for a moment, then immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked over. She looked at Huo Xiao and smiled with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, "Xiao Huo, have you had dinner yet? If not, come in and have something to share."
Huo Xiao subconsciously glanced at Yan Xi, who gave him a suggestive look. He immediately understood and politely and tactfully refused: "I've already eaten. Thank you, grandma. Since Yan Xi is fine, I'll go back. Goodbye, grandma."
"Hey, wait a minute. It's getting late. Let me take you there." Grandma Lu called him hurriedly and walked out the door.
Yan Xi's heart suddenly jumped, and she felt something was wrong. "Grandma, let me take you there. You're still undergoing treatment, so it's best not to overwork yourself and get some rest."
"What are you afraid of? My old bones can still walk a few steps." Grandma Lu waved her hand, pushed him into the house and closed the door.
Yan Xi, who was locked inside, was stunned for a moment and a little panicked.
What should I do? Did grandma discover something?!
Grandma Lu and Huo Xiao were waiting for the elevator in the corridor.
Grandma Lu looked at him from time to time but didn't say anything.
Huo Xiao was a smart man. He probably knew what she wanted to ask him, so he took the initiative to speak, "Grandma, do you have something to say to me?"
Grandma Lu smiled and nodded. "I do have something I want to ask you. What do you think of my creek?"
Huo Xiao looked at her, paused, and then spoke slowly: "Yan Xi is smart and cute, loyal and righteous, hardworking and capable. Everyone who has been with him praises him highly."
After hearing these words, Grandma Lu seemed dissatisfied and asked, "What about you?"
At this moment, there was a ding sound, and the elevator door opened. Huo Xiao slowly shifted his gaze to look at the elevator, but he didn't mean to move. "I think he's very good. Being able to become... friends with him is something worth being happy about for me. Grandma, are you..."
"Good boy, the elevator door is open, come on in." Grandma Lu gently pushed him and said with a smile, "I remember young people like you seem to have business cards. Can you give me one too?"
Huo Xiao, who was already standing in the elevator, nodded and took out a note from his pocket and handed it to her.
The moment Grandma Lu took it, a delivery rider came over and hurriedly squeezed into the elevator.
Huo Xiao wanted to say something, but Grandma Lu walked away at this time.
Although Grandma Lu had not received many years of education, she still knew some characters. When she saw the words "Huo Xiao, President of Huo's Group", she was obviously stunned.
As an old person, she is out of touch with the times, but she occasionally watches movies and gets together with other old people to chat about gossip. She has also heard about some of the things.
She also understands things like bosses keeping mistresses.
She was always unwilling to believe that her grandson would be a character in such a story.
Grandma Lu tremblingly put the business card into her pocket and walked faster and faster. When she arrived at the door, she raised her hand and paused for a long time before knocking on the door.
Yan Xi inside heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door for her, looking a little nervous, "Grandma, is he gone?"
"Yeah." Grandma Lu looked at him, moved her lips, but still said nothing, and forced herself to hold back what she wanted to say.
She walked in and closed the door.
But the more she did this, the more uneasy Yan Xi felt.
After dinner, Yan Xi went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. While she was washing, Grandma Lu suddenly walked in and said abruptly, "Xiao Xi, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Xiao Huo?"
Hearing this, the bowl in Yan Xi's hand suddenly slipped down, and the crackling sound showed his panic.
He thought this day would eventually come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Grandma, I...he and I are just alumni and friends. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Yan Xi quickly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked at her calmly.
Grandma Lu sighed, her expression serious. "Stop talking nonsense. Xiao Huo has already told me everything about you."
Yan Xi froze on the spot, "Grandma, what did he... tell you?"
