Chapter 683 It’s settled
When Bian Zhi returned to the company, it was time for dinner.
The Huo family ordered some food and ate in the dining hall upstairs.
After such a long time, it was the first time for all the employees of Huo's to see these people sitting at the same table and eating so calmly.
Bian Zhi had no appetite, so he propped up his chin and watched the people at the table interacting.
Huo Tianyao, "Third brother, the food in your new restaurant tastes good, but there's always a long queue. It's no exception whenever I go there. It's unreasonable at all."
Huo Lao San was very proud. "That's right. Our Huo family's cuisine is fair and just. We won't tolerate your bad habit of cutting in line."
Huo Laosi smiled and said, "It's really good. It tastes good."
Huo Laowu was not a talkative person to begin with. He nodded and filled his bowl with soup.
"Girl, eat." Huo Laosan turned around and saw that Bian Zhi was still not eating, so he stood up and poured her some soup. "This turtle soup is good, it's good for your health. I asked the chef in the kitchen to make it especially for you early in the morning. Try it for yourself. If you like it, I'll ask them to make you nutritious meals every day."
Bian Zhi held the spoon, his eyelashes drooping and then rising.
He said casually, "Today, the old man called me."
"Ah? What did you say?" Huo Tianyao asked while picking up some food.
Huo Lao San, "You don't know you're pregnant, do you? Didn't you tell me before not to tell the old man yet?"
Huo Laosi's eyes were full of confusion. "Then how did the old man know?"
Bian Zhi's gaze shifted from the three people in front to the fifth son of the Huo family, who was about to lower his head to drink his soup.
As if noticing Bian Zhi's gaze, Lao Wu raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bian Zhi looked away.
Huo Tianyao glanced at Huo Laowu with disdain, "Laowu, is it really that serious? The food in Lao San's shop is good, but it's not necessary for him to be so obsessed with food as you are. Just now, this girl said that the old man called her."
"Hey," Huo Tianyao looked at Bian Zhi, "You haven't told me what the old man said yet. Does he know that you are pregnant?"
Bian Zhi glanced at the people on the table without any emotion and said, "He didn't say anything. He just asked me about the situation at the Huo family."
Huo Tianyao: "Oh, I thought someone leaked the secret. Didn't you specifically tell us not to tell the old man?"
Bian Zhi nodded and let go of the spoon.
She leaned back in her chair, her expression cold and detached in the bright natural light. "The old man didn't say anything, but the old housekeeper knew I was pregnant."
As soon as these words came out.
The people at the table paused.
Even the footsteps coming in from the door stopped.
Bian Zhi turned around and saw Leng Bingning who pushed the door open and just heard what she said.
Bian Zhi's eyes fell on Leng Bingning for a few seconds, and then he looked away calmly.
The room suddenly fell into a strange silence.
After a while.
Huo Tianyao touched the back of his head and spoke first, "Hey, that's not right. How could Old Li know? And he knew it before Grandpa?"
The third son of the Huo family said, "Yes, isn't Old Li accompanying Grandpa in the country?"
The fourth son of the Huo family said, "This Old Li is not simple."
The fifth son of the Huo family opened his mouth to drink soup and asked, "Is there anyone here with Lao Li?"
Bian Zhi looked around and then returned her gaze to the soup. She lowered her head and took a sip. The taste was mellow and delicious, indeed good.
"Hey, girl! This won't do. Who did you tell about your pregnancy?" Huo Tianyao stood up with anger on his face. "Didn't you tell them not to tell them? Who's the one who did it so quickly?" Huo Tianyao looked around at the people at the table. "You said Lao Li said it, so come out and admit it yourself."
"Don't force me to call Lao Li directly!" Seeing that no one responded, Huo Lao San also felt that something was wrong and questioned coldly on the table.
The fourth son of the Huo family said, "Hey, what do you two mean? Whoever speaks louder is not suspicious. Why are you looking at me?"
The fifth child of the Huo family picked up a piece of pork belly, looked at the third child, and said, "Third brother, didn't you contact Lao Li yesterday? I heard you calling Lao Li in the corridor yesterday."
Suddenly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Huo Lao San.
"What are you talking about!"
Huo Lao San jumped up excitedly, "What do you mean by saying this at this time! Lao Wu, you are looking for trouble, right? I haven't told you that you have the best relationship with Lao Li."
Huo Tianyao sat next to Huo Laosan and grabbed his arm. "Don't talk about anything else first. Tell me why you called Lao Li?"
Huo Laosi put down his chopsticks and said, "Yes, explain clearly."
"What can I do? I called the old man first. I just wanted to call to ask about his health. He didn't answer the phone, so I thought I'd call Lao Li. Lao Li said the old man was in good health, so I hung up the phone."
After these words were spoken, everyone's suspicious eyes became even more confused without any concealment.
Huo Laosan was so annoyed, "I really didn't say anything else, why are you looking at me like that! If I said anything else, let my little grandson be bitten by mosquitoes every day in the next life, okay!"
When Bian Zhi heard this, he withdrew his gaze.
She didn't listen to Huo Lao San's subsequent explanation, and then lowered her head and ate quietly.
After eating a few bites, she stood up and said calmly to the few people who were still arguing fiercely, "Eat slowly."
Then, get up and leave.
Behind him, Huo Tianyao's voice came, "Why are you calling Lao Li at such a critical moment? You have ulterior motives!"
Huo Lao San, "Bullshit! I have a clear conscience!"
Huo Lao Si. "Didn't you say you'd call the old man first? Bring me the call records."
"Bang!" The phone fell onto the table.
"Look!"
"Look quickly!"
"After reading this, I'm innocent!"
"It doesn't necessarily prove your innocence," said Lao Wu. "Maybe you've already decided to use this as an excuse if your crime is ever exposed."
Huo Lao San: "..."
"Fuck! I can't explain it to you guys clearly, can I?"
When Huo Lao San was going crazy, Bian Zhi had already walked to the door.
When she grabbed the door handle, Bian Zhi suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at the person who had been standing aside and was unusually silent today.
"What's wrong?" The man noticed his gaze, raised his head and asked Bian Zhi.
Bian Zhi thought about it, then shook her head. Then, she turned around and said to the people arguing at the table, "Old Li has sent a personal doctor over. He's here today. Stop arguing and don't embarrass the Huo family in front of outsiders."
As soon as these words came out.
The people who were arguing were stunned again.
"What?" Huo Tianyao asked.
Huo Laosan, "The one sent by Lao Li?"
Huo Laosi asked, "Why did he send someone here?"
Huo Laowu, "Yes, to plant spies!"
Leng Ge, who was standing to one side, said, "Girl, this person is here with bad intentions, so don't agree to it! If you agree to this, you will be under other people's eyes in the future, and it will be inconvenient for you to do anything in the future. Lao Li will definitely use the excuse that it was arranged by the old man. If you can't refuse, I will tell the boss to tell him to talk to the old man."
Bian Zhi: "No need, it's settled."
