Chapter 231 First Phone Call
Being teased by Zhao Keqiong.
Mu Yuan felt a slight irritation in her ears and quickly looked away.
"Mom, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Zhao Keqiong glanced at him with amusement, her eyes wishing she could stick to her own son on Mu Yuan.
In the end, I realized that I didn't want to be a third wheel.
"Okay, I'm a little sleepy too. I'll take a nap. You guys go do what you need to do."
She especially emphasized the last sentence, and her words were full of sarcasm.
The heat on Mu Yuan's ears spread to her face.
She lowered her head and tucked in the corners of the quilt for Zhao Keqiong.
When he raised his head again, he gave Huo Min a look that signaled him to leave.
Huo Min raised his eyebrows.
Followed her and walked out.
The deserted corridor.
Mu Yuan stood by the window and took a deep breath of the earthy smell, a unique smell of rainy days.
She stretched out her palms and let the raindrops fall on them.
It feels cool and comfortable.
"Are you hungry?"
Huo Min stared at her playing in the rain, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips.
Mu Yuan withdrew his hand, and the water accumulated in his palm fell down the stairs.
She glanced sideways, meeting his dark eyes full of emotion: "I'll be going back to East City the day after tomorrow, so Mom will have to trouble you to take care of her alone."
The corners of Huo Min's mouth, which had just been raised, froze again.
Hence her abnormal reaction.
Is it because you are leaving?
The thought that she might never come back.
Completely disappeared from Dongcheng.
Huo Min's eyes gradually grew darker.
Mu Yuan looked at his changing expression and felt some doubts in her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Min pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Go back later? Or, should I ask the deputy dean to send someone else to take charge?"
"You won't let me go?" Mu Yuan's face was cold and there was no smile on it. At first glance, he looked a little serious.
Huo Min's heart skipped a beat.
Adam's apple rolled back.
Worried that her good attitude would end.
He immediately tried to save the situation. He lowered his voice and gently persuaded her, "It's not that I don't want you to go. The doctor said that keeping a good mood will help with recovery. With you by my side, Mom has been in a good mood these past two days."
Mu Yuan took in his cautious reaction.
She suppressed her laughter and pretended not to notice his thoughts: "You are her biological son. If you accompany her, I believe she will be in a good mood."
Huo Min choked.
He looked at Mu Yuan's face and whispered, "My group has been a bit busy lately and I can't leave, so I'd like to trouble you to continue to take care of Mom. Why don't we wait until Mom is discharged from the hospital and then go together?"
Mu Yuan shook her head slightly: "Since you are not free, you can only trouble the nurse to take care of Mom. After all, we agreed to a week-long vacation, and everyone must have planned to return. There can't be any special arrangements. I must go back, but as for you, you were not on the list, so you don't have to go."
Huo Min's voice was heavy: "I have to go."
Mu Yuan looked at him indifferently: "Aren't you busy with the group and can't leave?"
Huo Min choked again.
"Just for this period of time," he added.
Mu Yuan understood and nodded slightly: "Yes, so let's talk after you are done, but I have to go back first."
Seeing that she insisted on leaving.
Huo Min felt a sense of unease building up in his heart.
She lowered her eyes, a gloomy feeling welling up in them: "Yuanyuan, you don't want me to go."
It is an affirmative sentence.
Mu Yuan nodded lightly: "Well, you can say that."
She admitted it generously.
Huo Min's dark eyes grew darker, and his tightly pursed thin lips just opened.
He was interrupted by Mu Yuan first.
"Let's talk about it later. The rain has stopped. I'm going home to wash up first."
Huo Min swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
His deep gaze fell on Mu Yuan's slender figure as she walked towards the elevator.
His face was tense, his eyes were deep, and he followed.
red light.
The rain wet the ground.
When pedestrians cross the zebra crossing, their heels splash water in an arc shape.
Mu Yuan glanced at him quietly, feeling uneasy. The big hands with distinct joints on the steering wheel, gripping and releasing them, repeating this action 5 or 6 times within a minute, clearly showed that Huo Min was in an impetuous state.
A faint smile flowed across her almond-shaped eyes.
She would like to see it.
How long can he endure this?
But when his black eyes came over.
The smile in her eyes quickly disappeared back into her cold face.
They returned to the old house.
Because Mu Yuan wanted to pack some things for Zhao Keqiong.
Once back.
The servants immediately gathered around to check on Zhao Keqiong's situation.
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Mom is feeling much better today. I will pass on everyone's concern to her."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, five, six, seven or eight new problems emerged.
Mu Yuan was attacked from both ears.
Facing everyone's enthusiastic faces.
For a moment.
A little helpless.
I don't know where to begin answering this.
Until I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders.
She glanced sideways in surprise.
Facing Huo Min with an indifferent expression.
Huo Min half-closed his dark eyes and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Madam is tired, you all go get busy."
The young mistress was pleasant, while the young master had a stern expression.
This is a huge contrast.
It scared away everyone who was making noise in an instant.
Huo Min squeezed her shoulders a little harder, then released them within two seconds, whispering, "Go in first, I'll take a call."
Mu Yuan had no doubts: "Okay."
After getting caught in the rain, my body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
She really wanted to go upstairs quickly to take a shower and dry her body.
Halfway up the stairs.
Mu Yuan stopped.
Turned back.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, I saw Huo Min standing tall among the flowers.
He is on the phone.
His face was stern.
I don’t know what he is dealing with, but he has this expression.
-
The chill in Huo Min's eyes grew due to the caller's words.
Gu Zhou's cold, dangerous voice, like a snake or scorpion, came from the microphone: [Boss Huo, you beat up my brother in the street, you have to give me an explanation, right?]
Huo Min pursed his lips: [I don't have an explanation, but I do have a reason. It depends on whether Mr. Gu has the nerve to listen.]
Gu Zhou sneered: "Oh? Mr. Huo has already said so. If I don't listen, won't I really become the shameless one you say I am?"
Different from Gu Chenyi.
His elder brother, Gu Zhou, is just as ruthless as he is.
Generally speaking.
Huo Min was too lazy to deal with people like this who had more tricks than a hornet's nest.
Even if you encounter it occasionally.
We are just acquaintances.
This was the first time Gu Zhou called him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to fight for his brother.
"Mr. Gu is a smart man, so I'll just get this out of the way. Go back and tell your good brother not to touch people he shouldn't touch."
Gu Zhou held a cigarette between his teeth, a hint of scarlet flickering in his eyes, and said lazily: [There is such a thing?]
Huo Min sneered at the other party's feigned ignorance: "It seems that Mr. Gu has been very busy lately and has turned a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window."
Gu Zhou blew out a puff of smoke, and the fingertips holding the cigarette rubbed his brow: [But, no matter what, it's wrong to start first, don't you think, Mr. Huo?]
Huo Min's dark eyes suddenly darkened, and his deep voice was filled with determination: [So? Mr. Gu is preparing to fight back?]
Even through the microphone.
It's hard to suppress the creepy chill.
Gu Zhou's face was filled with gloom. He twisted his wrist and fiercely extinguished the flames, his tone as lazy as ever: "That's not the case, but I don't know the full story. Since Mr. Huo mentioned this, I need to understand it. But I think it must be a misunderstanding. After all, my brother already has a fiancée, and the wedding is scheduled for the end of this month."
The other side withdrew the provocation.
Huo Min's sharpness gradually subsided. He said coolly, "I hope this is a misunderstanding. Congratulations in advance."
Gu Zhou: [Of course it's a misunderstanding. Okay, I understand the situation. I'm hanging up.]
Throw away your phone.
Gu Zhou picked up the pen on the table.
Use the sharp tip of the pen to scratch a very deep, concave line on the paper.
Then he threw it away.
There was a cruel look in his extremely cold eyes.
This account.
He took note.
Qin, the special assistant who was waiting on the side, looked at the terrifying look on Gu Zhou's face, pursed his lips, and asked carefully: "Boss Gu, then we..."
Gu Zhou interrupted lazily, "Go, tell Secretary Zhou that Gu's will send the general manager to replace my brother to support the recovery efforts."
Qin Special Assistant paused and hesitated: "But the Second Young Master may not accept it."
Gu Zhou said nothing, just glared at him coldly.
Qin Special Assistant immediately lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I spoke too much."
Gu Zhou stood up, brushed away the wrinkles on his high-quality fabric shirt with the back of his hand, and said lazily: "Cancel the afternoon meeting, I have an appointment tonight."
Special Assistant Qin: "Okay, Mr. Gu."
