"But Grandma plans to stay in China for the Chinese New Year this year. If none of us are here, will she have any objections?"
"I'll talk to Grandma about it."
As soon as it was time to leave work in the evening, the Huo siblings would walk out of the building on time.
The employees were left behind, not yet having realized what was happening.
Huo Tingzhen found it somewhat amusing. "Did you see their expressions? Their big boss, who works overtime until late every night, is actually leaving get off work on time?"
The two of them came out on time.
But it just so happened to be rush hour.
Worried that Jian Yu might get hungry while waiting too long, they asked the waiter to prepare some pre-meal snacks.
When they arrived at Suiyuxuan, Jian Yu had already drunk a bowl of dessert.
Seeing that Jian Yu had already eaten something and wasn't hungry.
Huo Tingzhen gave George an approving look.
Jian Yu hadn't seen Huo Qizhen for a while, and when they met again, Jian Yu noticed that he seemed to have lost some weight.
"Mr. Huo seems to be very busy lately?"
"I'm fine. I heard you went back to school, are you adjusting well?"
"My teachers and classmates have taken good care of me, so I haven't had any trouble adjusting."
Huo Qizhen nodded.
"Jian Yu? Mr. Huo? Miss Huo is here too?"
As the waiter pushed open the door, a familiar voice rang out from outside.
The three of them looked over at the same time.
Yan Zhuo.
With a sexy lady.
Why are you wearing so little in this cold weather?
Jian Yu took a second look and noticed that the woman had a coat hanging on one of her arms, which was hidden by Yan Zhuo's figure.
The woman's eyes shone even brighter after she saw Huo Qizhen.
"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence! May we come in?"
Yan Zhuo frowned slightly. "Mr. Huo, this is a private banquet. Just say hello here."
"A private banquet?"
The woman shifted her gaze to Jian Yu. "Isn't this Yu Yao's sister? Judging from this, we're all acquaintances, so we can sit together, right?"
Huo Qizhen has encountered far too many people who take the initiative to approach him. In the past, he would have sent them away long ago.
The reason they didn't speak up was because the woman was brought by Yan Zhuo.
Getting rid of this woman is tantamount to getting rid of Yan Zhuo.
The Yan brothers had a good relationship with Jian Yu.
Huo Qizhen didn't want Jian Yu to be unable to enjoy her meal because of this small matter.
Kenneth Fok declined to comment.
Huo Tingzhen glanced at the lady outside the door and said, "Today, Jian Yu is treating us. As the host, you should ask Jian Yu."
The woman was clearly very surprised.
They began to believe the rumors to some extent.
Jian Yu stood up. "What brings you here?"
Yan Zhuo, a very busy man, specially accompanied a lady to dine here.
It seems their relationship is quite special.
Yan Zhuo felt slightly embarrassed and was about to speak when the woman spoke first, "We're on a blind date."
Jian Yu, "A blind date?"
So you go to a private room alone for blind dates?
What would be the point of joining them?
"Yes! What a coincidence to run into Mr. Huo today! Would you mind if we all had dinner together?"
Jian Yu looked at Yan Zhuo.
Yan Zhuo's eyes darkened.
Jian Yu instantly understood his emotions; this woman was out of the game!
never mind.
Since their blind date fell through, let's just treat this meal as a get-together!
"Yan Zhuo, please come in! What dishes do you like to eat? Tell them to order more."
The waiter immediately handed Yan Zhuo the iPad for taking orders.
Yan Zhuo added two health-preserving dishes.
Despite his dissatisfaction, he still handed the iPad to the woman.
Without any hesitation, the lady ordered four of their signature dishes.
When the food was served, the lady realized that only the four dishes she had ordered were spicy.
The remaining half were related to health and wellness.
"Mr. Huo, you're already focusing on health so early?"
Huo Qizhen said in a calm tone, "Jian Yu is in the recovery stage, so it would be better for her to eat more health-promoting foods."
Madam, "Oh, I see! I thought Jian Yu was treating you and that you were ordering the food yourself. I didn't expect that Jian Yu ordered everything here."
Huo Qizhen said, "Jian Yu and I have similar tastes, so it doesn't matter who orders it."
"Madam, you'll have to order a few dishes, won't you?"
Huo Qizhen: "I've ordered."
Miss,"......"
When the soup was served, Huo Qizhen instinctively wanted to serve Jian Yu a bowl, but remembering Jian Yu's recent avoidance of him, he remained seated.
Yan Zhuo, however, took the initiative to scoop a bowl and hand it to Jian Yu.
Has Yan Shi contacted you recently?
When the topic of words comes up, Jian Yu immediately thinks of Feng Mi.
I could only shake my head and say no.
Yan Zhuo knew she wasn't telling the truth.
They didn't ask any further questions.
The woman, however, started chatting.
“Jian Yu, I ran into Yu Yao a while ago. She has lost a lot of weight and was having dinner with your father, Chairman Yu.”
"Yeah?"
"Your father's hair has turned very white, and your mother has been released on bail pending trial due to poor health."
As soon as she finished speaking, only the sound of the woman ladling soup remained in the room.
Jian Yu looked at her intently for a few moments. "I haven't asked your name yet?"
"Kuang Mei."
Jian Yu tried hard to recall his memories of his past life, but still had no recollection of Kuang Mei.
"You care about our family a lot?"
"Isn't it you I ran into?"
"But we're not familiar with each other!"
"..." Kuang Mei, "I thought you wanted to know."
"Since you know about our family situation, you should know that I don't want to know."
Kuang Mei then felt embarrassed. "She is, after all, your mother. Mother and daughter don't hold grudges overnight. You two will make up sooner or later. Don't be angry now."
Yan Zhuo put down his chopsticks. "Kuang Mei, are you finished eating?"
Kuang Mei: "No! The food just arrived."
Yan Zhuo took her chopsticks and placed them on the table. "You've finished eating! We should go."
Without giving Kuang Mei a chance to resist, he grabbed her coat and bag and dragged her out of the private room.
After leaving, he also told the waiter to close the door.
Kuang Mei was extremely anxious. "Yan Zhuo, what are you doing? I haven't eaten yet!"
"You're already full, you don't need to eat anymore."
Should we not let her eat?
Kuang Mei raised her high heel and kicked Yan Zhuo hard in the calf.
“My mom says you’re very charming, but I don’t see it at all. She won’t even let me eat and just dragged me out. You wait, I’m going to find Dean Bai to settle this.”
Yan Zhuo pulled her along as they continued walking.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Kuang Mei actually reached out and overturned the tray in the hands of a passing waitress.
The scalding hot soup was poured directly onto Yan Zhuo's right side.
The right arm and back were covered by clothing, making it impossible to see what was happening.
The only visible sign was the neck muscles that had instantly become red and swollen.
Yan Zhuo flung Kuang Mei's hand away, dropped what he was holding, and ran towards the bathroom, saying, "Get me a hose to catch the water."
The lobby manager chased after them with a towel.
He walked and shouted, "Quickly get a flexible tube and a basin of ice."
Some of the waiters ran to find hoses, while others carried basins to shave ice.
Others were cleaning up.
The entire corridor was in complete chaos.
Only Kwong Mei remained completely unaffected, still feeling sorry for her coat and bag that had been thrown on the ground.
