When Jian Yu heard Huo Qizhen's voice, she wanted to take the opportunity to catch a glimpse of him to ease her longing, but instead, she only saw a corner of his clothes.
Huo Tingzhen joked, "Stop looking, the person's already gone. Wait until they get home, then you can look at them to your heart's content."
Huo Tingzhen ran back to her office, grabbed her coat, and followed them downstairs.
When Jian Yu arrived home, Huo Qizhen had already returned. He was standing at the gate, watching every passing car from afar.
His expression changed visibly after seeing Bao Yanbai's car appear.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Jian Yu opened the car door.
Huo Qizhen immediately noticed that Jian Yu had lost a lot of weight and was dressed in thin clothes.
Jian Yu had just taken one step when Huo Qizhen shoved her back into the car.
"It's too cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Jian Yu casually pulled him inside to sit with her.
After getting into the car, Huo Qizhen first checked Jian Yu's hands and feet to make sure there were no external injuries before pulling her into his arms.
"You've lost weight."
Even through the clothes, Huo Qizhen felt that it was uncomfortable to hold.
Jian Yu looked up and saw Huo Qizhen's stubble-covered chin.
This was the first time Jian Yu had seen Huo Qizhen like this, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He must have been suffering a lot during this time.
When they got out of the car, Huo Qizhen draped his coat over Jian Yu's shoulders.
"Go upstairs and take a hot shower first. By the time you come down, the meal will be almost ready."
"good."
Jian Yu put on his coat and went upstairs.
After Jian Yu closed the door, Huo Qizhen looked at Bao Yanbai and asked, "Where did you meet Jian Yu?"
"International airport. She was with the youngest son of the Yan family, but she didn't say anything else."
When to speak?
Huo Qizhen nodded.
Seeing Huo Tingzhen walk in, she asked, "Why are you back too? Weren't you supposed to have dinner with clients later?"
Huo Tingzhen looked around. "Who's in the mood to eat with people outside at a time like this? Where's Jian Yu?"
"I went upstairs to take a shower."
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look."
Jian Yu was soaking in the familiar bathtub, feeling completely relaxed. When she heard Huo Tingzhen call her, she immediately said without hesitation, "Come in and scrub my back."
Huo Tingzhen rolled up her sleeves. "Where have you been all this time?"
Jian Yu simply recounted the events.
However, he avoided mentioning Lu Jiao's identity, saying that he only happened to be passing by and saved him from the sea.
Huo Tingzhen listened with a pounding heart, "This Shen Qianyuan really deserves it. No wonder his family suddenly stopped competing with us for business, it turns out something happened."
"Aren't people in China aware of this yet?"
"We haven't heard back from Shen Qianyuan yet. All we know is that his grandfather and father both died suddenly from heart attacks."
The Shen family had no reason to hide the news of Shen Qianyuan's death, and in fact, announcing it would be beneficial for them to smoothly inherit the Shen family's financial empire.
It seems that Old Madam Shen followed Lu Jiao's instructions and kept the news a secret, and she probably has the upper hand now.
"Then let's wait a little longer, and news should come out soon."
Huo Tingzhen helped Jian Yu apply body lotion and dried her hair before taking her downstairs.
It was only at this time that Jian Yu discovered that all the servants in the house had been replaced.
Uncle Li was already waiting to the side.
After the meal, Huo Tingzhen and Bao Yanbai left together, leaving Jian Yu and Huo Qizhen alone.
Huo Qizhen took Jian Yu's hand and led her upstairs. "Get some rest early tonight. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
"Okay, I've already made plans with Yan Shi. I'll go see him for a physical exam tomorrow."
"Can."
Jian Yu crawled into bed and found Huo Qizhen lying next to her.
Um?
Huo Qizhen reached out and pulled Jian Yu into his arms. "Sleep!"
Jian Yu was a little embarrassed. "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Huo Qizhen said, "It's good that you're back safe and sound."
Jian Yu: "What's the deal with Lone Wolf?"
Huo Qizhen: "What did he do that makes you worried?"
Jian Yu said, "My whereabouts were exposed too quickly. I don't know where it came from. After thinking it over, I think it's better to break up with him."
Huo Qizhen had guessed that was the case. "When his friend was disguising you, someone else saw you. That person had seen your bounty information and sold your information."
So that's how it is.
"How is Lone Wolf doing?"
"Since you left, his mission was considered a failure. He voluntarily returned half of the money, said goodbye to his friend, and then went to find the person who sold the information. Now, that person has spent all the money he got from selling the information, and will have to pay for the subsequent treatment himself."
The two chatted for a long time, and Jian Yu didn't know when they fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.
Jian Yu thought Huo Qizhen had already gone to the company, so she slowly got up, changed her clothes, and just as she stepped out of the bedroom, she found Huo Qizhen standing in the hallway making a phone call.
Upon seeing her, I put my arm around her and we went downstairs together.
Through the voice coming through the microphone, Jian Yu realized that Huo Qizhen was having a conference call.
Jian Yu took a sticky note from the drawer and wrote a line: 【Go to the company!】
Huo Qizhen glanced at it and then started to ruffle Jian Yu's hair.
The maid brought in a nutritious meal, and Jian Yu was surprised to find that it was a portion for two.
Huo Qizhen hasn't eaten anything yet.
Huo Qizhen gestured to Jian Yu with his eyes that she should eat first.
Jian Yu shook his head, insisting on waiting for him to come together.
Huo Qizhen smiled, said a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Jian Yu then picked up his chopsticks.
After dinner, Jian Yu urged Huo Qizhen to go to the company, "Go to the company and get busy first!"
"I'll take you for a check-up later."
"The check-up isn't urgent. It seems like Yan Shi isn't finished yet. He told me to go tomorrow."
Huo Qizhen said, "Let's go to another one."
"Why?"
"I heard that Yan Shi had two tires blowout on his way back from the airport yesterday, and unfortunately crashed into a car that was driving normally next to him. Both sides were injured. Yan Shi suffered a concussion and is still in the hospital."
Jianyu, “…”
What a coincidence!
Could it be related to Lu Jiao?
Whether or not, Jian Yu couldn't ask Lu Jiao in front of Huo Qizhen.
"Let's go! The hospital has already been arranged."
Jian Yu had no choice but to go with Huo Qizhen.
The test results were okay.
"It's just that your qi stagnation and uterine coldness have gotten worse. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You should start taking it now, otherwise the pain will be very severe during your period."
Huo Qizhen was worried that Jian Yu would be in unbearable pain, "Can it be cured?"
"Take your time, you can do it."
"That's good."
They came empty-handed, but left carrying a pile of medicine.
After arriving home, Uncle Li had already instructed the family nutritionist to change the treatment plan.
After settling everything in Jianyu's place, Huo Qizhen hurriedly left.
Jian Yu was sipping the bird's nest soup when his phone on the table automatically connected to Lu Jiao's video call. "Tell your security guard to open the door for me. I need to go in."
Jian Yu looked closely and realized that the background behind Lu Jiao was her front door.
"oh."
Just as Jian Yu was about to make a move, the servants working in the distance ran over and notified the gatekeeper via video call.
Lu Jiao drove at 180 miles per hour and arrived at the living room door in a flash.
Lu Jiao, acting like the host, walked straight to the sofa and sat down. "A cup of black coffee."
The maid turned around and started grinding coffee.
Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, diligent."
Jian Yu now had a lot of questions to ask him, "Whose car did you get into yesterday? Why did those people agree to let you go? Also, did you have anything to do with Yan Shi and Feng Mi's car getting a flat tire?"
Lu Jiao didn't answer any of his questions. Instead, he tapped the table with two fingers and asked, "Is the 2 billion reward ready?"
