Chapter 180 The Final Verdict
This was a rather incoherent statement, which made Huo Jinzhi confused.
But before he could think too much, he was pushed over by Chen Zhu: "I'm tired, I have to go back and rest first."
She waved her hand, her tone light.
His mind didn't seem as sharp after drinking some wine, but Huo Jinzhi still wanted to reach out and grab her, even if it was just a few more words.
But Chen Zhu left without hesitation and closed the door heartlessly.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there were some cicadas chirping around. Although it was a hot day, the yard was still cool. Huo Jinzhi shook his head, didn't think much about it, and walked back.
The next day, Chen Zhuyi packed up his small luggage and went out.
When Huo Qiyun saw the struggling figure, there was still some doubt in his eyes, but the figure had already gotten into a car and left.
Chen Zhuyi just felt that they needed a little distance, so he didn't move too far away. He just stayed in a nearby hotel. Perhaps, only distance could make them more sober.
When Huo Jinzhi came back after finishing his work, he received the news that Chen Zhuyi had left. She did not leave without permission, and she also left a letter for them in advance.
"How have you been taking care of her these days?" Huo Jin subconsciously looked at Huo Qiyun who was following behind him.
"She's such a pretty girl, and you left her here without caring about her. Who wouldn't want to leave? Besides, you can't tell who she's thinking about right now."
Huo Qiyun himself didn't want someone like Chen Zhuyi to enter their family.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Chen Zhuyi is incompatible with this big family.
"You don't have to discredit her in front of me. No matter how many bad things you say about her, in my heart she is the best and deserves the best."
After saying this, Huo Jinzhi went out directly and asked people to look for Chen Zhuyi everywhere. This incident also alarmed Mr. Huo.
He sighed, his expression showing a hint of helplessness and ugliness: "We have indeed been too negligent towards this young comrade recently."
It’s not that they are putting on airs or are dissatisfied with Shen Zhuyi.
Instead, things around him suddenly became more numerous in the past two days, and even Mr. Huo had to work around the clock. This was a matter of state and could not be delayed easily.
Huo Jinzhi's mother was originally abroad and should have returned early, but now it seems that she can't do it.
Diplomatic relations at home and abroad are not something that can be decided by a single person.
"You can relax for the next two days. Go spend some time with the little girl and explain everything to her. I will personally come and apologize for what happened before."
Old Master Huo glanced at Huo Jinzhi again.
These words were a bit too harsh. Even if Chen Zhuyi was right, given Mr. Huo's status, he didn't even have much contact with people in normal times, let alone come to apologize in person!
Huo Qiyun, who was standing by, heard this and his expression became even more anxious: "Are you all crazy? She's just a little girl. What's so worthy of your concern?"
"She is someone Jinzhi approves of. Just based on this point, even if this girl really has some shortcomings, I will turn a blind eye."
"You should have all seen her information. She's far better than we expected. Isn't it worth it for you to be nice to a girl like her?"
There was a hint of seriousness in Mr. Huo's voice. He held the cane in his hand and knocked twice here, neither lightly nor heavily, with a faint warning in his dark eyes.
"You have a very frivolous and romantic nature. I usually turn a blind eye to you, but if you ruin this marriage, you'll be in trouble!"
The fact that Mr. Huo said this shows that he doesn't even care about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
Huo Qiyun's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he nodded reluctantly: "But... isn't my brother busy these days?"
"Time itself can be squeezed out. The two of them came back to enjoy themselves. I was wrong at the beginning. You don't have to worry about what's going on recently. My old bones can handle it."
"Now that it has come to an end, you don't need to worry too much."
Mr. Huo patted Huo Jinzhi on the shoulder and asked him to leave.
It had been a while since Huo Jinzhi and Shen Zhuyi had shared their true feelings with each other, so he turned around and walked out without any patience.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhu heard a knock on the door and his eyelids twitched. He guessed who was coming, but he had no intention of getting up to open the door.
"I didn't ask for room service, and I don't want anyone to disturb my rest."
The somewhat cold and businesslike tone made Huo Jinzhi feel a rare sense of helplessness.
He finally got the chance to meet her, but they ended up talking like this.
"The matter hasn't been resolved yet, but Grandpa thinks you are more important, so he asked me to come over to accompany you first and explain. Can I go in and talk?"
Huo Jinzhi didn't forget to say a few good words for his old man. Although Chen Zhuyi's eyes didn't soften, his body was already agitated. He walked towards the door and opened it angrily.
"Since you're busy, let's talk about it after you're done. My business isn't particularly important, but I do have some personal requests."
"If your family continues to maintain this attitude, perhaps we won't be able to communicate properly in the future."
As soon as Chen Zhu opened the door, he stated his request with a stern face.
Looking at that cold little face, Huo Jinzhi didn't care about his shame anymore and just hugged her. Only then did he sigh with some satisfaction, and the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Chen Zhu was stunned by Huo Jinzhi's sudden proactive and decisive attitude, but he did not try to stop him. He let Huo Jinzhi hold him and they retreated into the room together.
"We are still dealing with the children's follow-up. After our negotiations, someone is willing to send the children back."
"My mom is overseas these days and is in charge of contacts and communications. Grandpa and his family are putting pressure on us back home, but he's old, so I'm just helping out a little."
Huo Jinzhi lowered his voice and said that these were already state-level confidential information.
The success or failure of the matter had not yet been determined. However, because Shen Zhuyi had been a little irritable the past two days, he was willing to say a little more.
Chen Zhu's eyelids twitched, and he felt a little worried for once. He didn't know whether to cover his ears or stop Huo Jinzhi.
"Things are almost done, so there's not much to worry about. My mom will definitely prepare a big gift for you in a few days. Think carefully about what you want."
Huo Jinzhi spoke with a smile.
He spoke bluntly, but Chen Zhuyi wanted to bury his head in Huo Jinzhi's arms: "Then isn't it too much for me to do this?"
