After hearing what Wen Xia Nuan said, Mrs. Huo finally opened her eyes and looked towards her: "Wen Zhiqing, you shouldn't be saying these words!"
Wen Xia Nuan sneered: "Old lady, whether this is something I should say or not, I know it in my heart."
"Huo Jue is also pitiful. Not only did he suffer injustice at Old Wang's house, but he was also treated harshly by you when he came back!"
She smiled coldly. The old lady frowned and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, what did the Wang family do?"
"It seems that you, old lady, don't know anything."
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at her indifferently: "The captain wants to reopen the brick factory and let Huo Jue be the lobbyist. If he can persuade them, he will have a place in the brick factory."
"I don't believe you don't know why Huo Jue became a lobbyist. You should also know who he's working so hard to earn work points for, right?"
The old lady frowned. When she heard Wen Xia Nuan's words, she felt inexplicably panicked. Looking at Wen Xia Nuan, she actually felt a sense of unease at this moment.
Wen Xia Nuan naturally noticed that something was wrong with the old lady, and she sneered, "Old lady, think about it carefully. Is Huo Jue's efforts over the years really worth it for you to slander him for the sake of your two grandsons?"
Mrs. Huo turned and walked out. Wen Xia Nuan withdrew her gaze and looked at Huo Jue, sighing helplessly: "Tell me, are you stupid or not?"
"Not stupid."
Wen Xia Nuan was startled and looked towards Huo Jue in surprise: "Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Her caring gaze fell on Huo Jue, who also looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "No, Wen Zhiqing, thank you very much."
He struggled to get up from the bed. Wen Xia Nuan reached out to help him, but Huo Jue stopped her: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Emotions surged in her heart, and Huo Jue also smiled: "Wen Zhiqing, thank you for taking care of me."
He leaned against the bed with difficulty. Wen Xia Nuan sat on a chair beside the bed. Looking at Huo Jue's stubborn expression, she couldn't help but mutter, "Huo Jue, you're not fully recovered yet, why are you being so stubborn?"
"Your grandma just passed away. Did you hear what I said to her?"
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at Huo Jue nervously: "She and I..."
"Wen Zhiqing stood up for me. I heard it all."
When Huo Jue mentioned the old lady, his expression suddenly turned cold. Wen Xia Nuan felt uneasy in her heart: "So what do you think?"
She stared at him nervously: "Are you sad?"
Huo Jue lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. Wen Xia Nuan's heart was also in turmoil. She could never figure out what Huo Jue was thinking, especially now that the man was silent. Wen Xia Nuan didn't know what to say.
"Is your forehead still burning?"
Wen Xia Nuan reached out to touch him, but Huo Jue looked up at her and now also held Wen Xia Nuan's hand: "I'm fine."
The smooth touch made him loosen his wrist with just a touch, and Wen Xia Nuan coughed uncomfortably.
Her eyes fell on the basin, she picked up the handkerchief and wrung it out: "You can use it to wipe it."
The awkward atmosphere was broken by Wen Xia Nuan. Huo Jue looked up, his eyes fell on her, and he quickly took the handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
"Then, I'll be leaving first."
She stood up and was about to leave. Huo Jue looked at her figure and quickly said, "Wait, Wen Zhiqing."
Wen Xia Nuan paused, turned around and looked at Huo Jue walking towards her step by step. She asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
Huo Jue's eyes fell on her and looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "You are right about some things."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, and Huo Jue quickly set his sights on her: "Wen Zhiqing, I don't agree with my grandmother's actions, and I won't go along with her."
Wen Xia Nuan looked Huo Jue up and down for a few times, then curled her lips again: "Huo Jue, what's wrong with you today?"
"It's like repaying my grandmother for raising me."
Huo Jue pinched his forehead and said, "Wen Zhiqing, I'll have to trouble you to cook for yourself tonight."
"I know this, so don't bother you."
Wen Xia Nuan waved her hand. She wanted to leave, but then she thought of Huo Jue's dispute with the Wang family. She stood there for a long time, hesitating before looking at Huo Jue: "What's going on between you and the Wang family? Does the captain really want you to persuade them?"
Huo Jue responded indifferently. Wen Xia Nuan's expression was grim. "You helped me before, but you offended the Wang family because of this. Will that couple be so easy to talk to?"
"The captain is the same. He knew about Gu Yiyi and Li Tianqi's affair, but he still wanted you to go."
Wen Xia Nuan had a headache and looked at Huo Jue: "Even if the brick factory is opened, what can you do? The sales of the brick factory is not that simple!"
"I know."
Huo Jue nodded and looked at Wen Xia Nuan seriously: "Wen Zhiqing, you don't need to worry too much about these things."
Wen Xia Nuan just felt that she shouldn't drag Huo Jue down, but she didn't expect that he would think she was meddling!
"Huo Jue! You should be the one worrying!"
Wen Xia Nuan turned around and walked out angrily. Huo Jue's eyes were full of concern. Looking at Wen Xia Nuan's back as she left, he didn't even know how he had offended Wen Xia Nuan!
Thinking back to the past, Huo Jue subconsciously chased after him: "Wen Zhiqing, wait a minute!"
Wen Xia Nuan paused, but did not look back.
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan. He came to stand in front of her and said, "Wen Zhiqing, I didn't say the right thing this time. Can you please forgive me for once?"
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at him. Seeing that Huo Jue was willing to lower himself to come to her, she snorted, "Alright, I'll forgive you this time. At least you've seen it through."
Huo Jue smiled, and Wen Xia Nuan's stomach began to growl. She blushed and looked at Huo Jue and said, "Do you want to go have dinner with me?"
Huo Jue was also a little hungry. Hearing Wen Xia Nuan's suggestion, he nodded: "Okay, let's go."
Wen Xia Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them walked towards the kitchen. She also glanced at Huo Jue and said, "You still have a slight fever. I'll boil some boiled eggs for you."
Huo Jue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Wen Xia Nuan took the initiative and said, "Huo Jue, if you don't eat, there are plenty of people who will. Look at what you get in return for your humility."
"I know."
Huo Jue lowered his eyes, his hoarse voice filled with seriousness: "I just want to tell you that I want to eat salted boiled eggs."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Okay, I understand."
