Late at night, the study was brightly lit, and Huo Qizhen was still busy.
The large title on the computer screen was very eye-catching: Huangxi Group Acquisition Plan
Uncle Li came in to get a new coffee. He saw the title but didn't say anything. He put down the new coffee, took the empty cup, and left.
It wasn't until two or three in the morning that Huo Qizhen rubbed the back of his neck and shut down his computer.
During breakfast, Huo Tingzhen kept sighing.
Seeing her like this, Huo Qizhen said, "I've contacted Professor Linda."
"Professor Linda? The world's most authoritative ophthalmologist?" Huo Tingzhen looked up, a glint of light in his eyes. "What did she say?"
"Professor Linda's surgery schedule was already two years in advance. I asked someone to help me jump the queue and showed Professor Linda Jianyu's medical records. She believed that the surgery could lead to recovery and personally scheduled the surgery for two months later."
Upon hearing that they would have to wait another two months, Huo Tingzhen reached out and grabbed Huo Qizhen's arm. Before she could speak, Huo Qizhen interrupted her, "This is already the fastest time possible."
Professor Linda's patients are all over the world, including political figures, prominent families, and top billionaires. The fact that the Huo family was able to get in line shows that Huo Qizhen has already put in a lot of effort.
Huo Tingzhen knew her limits and didn't make any further demands.
“I’ll tell Jian Yu in a bit, so she won’t have to rush to learn Braille.”
When Huo Tingzhen arrived, Jian Yu had just woken up and was stunned for a moment when she heard about the surgery arrangements.
"Really?"
"certainly."
After receiving a positive reply, Jian Yu finally showed a bright smile.
Huo Tingzhen was slightly surprised when he saw her smile. "You should smile more often. You look especially beautiful when you smile."
"Hmm?" Jian Yu, no one has ever said that she looks good when she smiles!
Everyone praised Yu Yao's bright and beautiful smile.
Ever since Yu Cheng returned the necklace to Qi Yuexi, he has been afraid to face Jian Yu, because he doesn't know how many times he has wronged her like this time.
If he didn't know, fine, but the evidence regarding the necklace is conclusive, yet he can't give her justice.
I could only learn about Jianyu's current situation from what he said, since I avoided seeing him.
After learning that Jian Yu had been taken away by the Huo family, he stayed at the company for several days and did not go home.
That day, Jian Yu was lying on the lawn sunbathing when he heard someone shouting in the distance.
Upon closer listening, the voice sounded a lot like Zhang Pengfei's.
Zhang Pengfei blocked Huo Qizhen's car, fawningly saying, "Young Master, I followed your advice and identified Huo Si'an to the police. You said that as long as I did a good job, you would hand over Huo Nan and those people who killed my mother to me. It's been over a month now, can you hand them over to me?"
A bodyguard approached and told him that Honan had died in the ICU and that all those involved had been arrested.
Zhang Pengfei rubbed his hands together. "Um...Young Master, could you give me some more money, or let me withdraw Liu Shan's money from Huo's Bank?"
The bodyguard said coldly, "That's stolen money; it will be returned later."
Zhang Pengfei glared at the bodyguard with hatred, but dared not make a move, and finally left, suppressing his resentment.
They hadn't gone far when they were taken to a police car.
Zhang Pengfei shouted, "What right do you have to arrest me?"
Police: "Yesterday someone told you to hand over a girlfriend who was bothering you to Liu Shan and send her to Southeast Asia. You'd better behave yourself."
Zhang Pengfei immediately deflated.
Huo Qizhen looked at the figure on the lawn, opened the car door, and got out.
The security guard saw him and immediately opened the gate.
The lawn silenced the noise. Jian Yu couldn't tell who it was, so he just stared at them without saying a word.
More footsteps could be heard.
Jian Yu heard Huo Tingzhen say, "Brother, you're back! I had Auntie make a huge cake for Jian Yu. Now that you're back, we can cut it together."
cake?
Huo Tingzhen helped Jian Yu up. "Today is your 20th birthday. I was thinking of inviting people to celebrate with you, but then I remembered that you're not feeling well right now. Let's celebrate properly next year!"
When it came to inviting people to celebrate, Huo Tingzhen was a little annoyed, as Ou Nayan and Shi Xiaoya had both agreed to come and celebrate Jian Yu's birthday.
As a result, Yan Shi had an emergency surgery, and Xiao Ya, his assistant, also worked overtime; Ou Na's family was invited by the Yu family to attend Yu Yao's birthday banquet.
Oona tried to refuse, but failed.
Three gifts were delivered in the afternoon, and she was asked to pass them on to Jian Yu.
One was hers, one was Ou Xiang's, and one was Yu Cheng's.
"Thank you! I don't need to celebrate my birthday."
I've gotten to enjoy Yu Yao's birthday cakes a few times in my past life, and she bought one for me later, so I don't have any expectations for it anymore.
"How can we not celebrate a birthday? There are so many people in the villa, a little celebration would be quite lively."
George stepped forward and pushed Jane into the house, where the servants had already finished decorating the living room.
As soon as Jian Yu entered, a birthday hat was put on her, and a group of people surrounded her and sang "Happy Birthday."
Listening to the clicking of cameras, Jian Yu felt a little dazed; she had never experienced anything like this before.
Huo Tingzhen held her hand and cut a piece of cake for her.
I received a bunch of gifts.
Huo Tingzhen posted Jian Yu's birthday photos on her WeChat Moments, and Yan Shi saw them and gave them a like.
After liking the post, Oona also left a comment.
Yu Yao's birthday party was as lively as ever, but this year very few of her friends came; most of them were Yu's relatives by marriage and business partners.
Although the Yan family came, they were not as enthusiastic as before.
Although the gifts were still generous, the attitude was noticeably distant.
Yan Zhuoyan stayed in the corner, listening to Ou Na's rambling, "I was never required to come before, why do I have to come this year?"
Ou Xiangdao said, "This year, the Yu family sent invitations to our entire family."
After the recent turmoil, the Yu family's strength has diminished considerably, and holding the banquet is also an opportunity to cultivate relationships.
As an important in-law of the Yu family, the president of Qisheng Culture was busy with everything from start to finish to dealing with people.
Yu Ting also joined Qi Yuexi in toasting everyone around.
Unlike previous years, the protagonist Yu Yao was not surrounded by a crowd of admirers. She sat idly to the side, watching everyone clink glasses and exchange toasts.
After a long while, we finally started cutting the cake.
After cutting the cake, Yan Zhuo made an excuse that she was busy with hospital matters and wanted to leave first.
Yu Yao seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and came over with a wine glass to offer him a toast.
Yan Zhuo declined to drink, citing work commitments.
Yu Yao immediately gave him a glass of orange juice, which he drank after he couldn't refuse.
After finishing the orange juice, without waiting for Yu Yao to say anything, she pulled Yan Shi away.
Seeing the two of them fleeing as if they were running away, Ou Na was still a little curious. He turned around and looked Yu Yao up and down.
Yu Yao gripped her wine glass tightly, her face looking very pale.
Oona pretended not to see it and started playing with her phone.
Once in the car, Yan Shi laughed out loud, "Brother, is Yu Yao really that scary? Look how frightened you are."
While fastening his seatbelt, Yan Zhuo explained, "I found my ex-girlfriend's friend a while ago, and under my enticement, he admitted that he was doing it for money."
He sighed, "Do you want to get back together?"
Yan Zhuo said, "No, I've let it go all these years, and besides, she has a new life now."
With her hands behind her head and a look of regret on her face, she said, "I thought she drugged you and wanted to have sex with you, but you found out, so I ran away quickly."
Yan Zhuo, “…” There’s no need to think like that!
