Chapter 57: Garbage is Dirty Even If You Get Close to It
As for Bai Hansui, after hitting a wall with Shen Lai, she had no choice but to call Huo Chilin in desperation.
Now only Huo Chilin can help her.
However, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered, and even when I called again later, the call was still not connected.
Bai Hansui had no choice but to go to Huo Chilin’s company in person.
"Hello, I'm looking for Chi Lin."
In the past, every time Bai Hansui came to the company, as long as she mentioned Huo Chilin's name, the front desk would respectfully send her up.
However, today the receptionist gave an apologetic smile and said, "Miss Bai, I'm sorry, Mr. Huo is in a meeting right now and it's not convenient for him to see you at the moment."
Bai Hansui clenched her palms tightly.
Is Huo Chilin deliberately avoiding her?
In the past, whenever she came, Huo Zhilin would immediately put down what she was doing and see her, but now she actually used such a lame excuse to brush her off.
Bai Hansui took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "When will the meeting be over?"
The receptionist smiled and said, "That's not certain yet."
If it were in the past, Bai Hansui would have turned around and left, but now thinking that she still needed Huo Chilin's help to solve the current problem, she had no choice but to endure it.
Bai Hansui forced a smile, "Then I'll wait for him downstairs."
"OK."
People were coming and going in the hall, and Bai Hansui's presence was too conspicuous. Many people cast curious glances at her, as if wondering why Huo Shao's girlfriend was sitting in the hall.
Bai Hansui had no choice but to lower the brim of his hat to minimize his presence.
Time passed little by little, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure finally appeared in the special elevator.
Seeing Huo Chilin appear, Bai Hansui stood up and shouted, "Chilin!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Huo Chilin turned his head. When he saw Bai Hansui, his brows furrowed slightly, "Why are you here?"
Bai Hansui walked over quickly, took Huo Chilin's arm, and said affectionately, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Is your meeting over?"
Huo Chilin calmly pulled his arm back and said in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"
Bai Hansui's hands froze in mid-air, her expression somewhat frozen, especially the unconcealed perfunctory look on Huo Chilin's face, which made her feel even more nervous.
Bai Hansui said softly, "Chilin, are you still angry with me?"
She gently tugged at the corner of Huo Chilin's clothes and said, "I really didn't mean to do that. I was forced by the company."
In the past, Huo Chilin would have felt distressed when he saw Bai Hansui's pitiful expression, but now he felt no emotion at all, and instead, Shen Lai's face appeared in his mind.
Even when the Shen family went bankrupt at that time, Shen Lai never showed weakness in front of him.
Thinking of this, Huo Chilin suddenly felt a little dazzled when he saw Bai Hansui's tears.
"What exactly do you want from me?" Huo Chilin's tone was so cold that he didn't even notice it.
Bai Hansui paused, looking at Huo Chilin's impatient expression. She bit her lower lip and said softly, "Chilin, I just went to find Lai Lai, but she still doesn't want to forgive me. Can you help me? Tell her not to kill me."
Hearing that Bai Hansui had found Chen Lai, Huo Chilin's eyebrows twitched slightly, "You found Chen Lai?"
Bai Hansui didn't notice the strange look that flashed across Huo Chilin's face. She nodded and said pitifully, "She might have misunderstood me too deeply, so she thinks I'm not sincerely apologizing to her. But I really know I was wrong. As long as she can forgive me, I'm willing to make amends."
Huo Chilin changed his mind when he heard Shen Lai's name. He twirled his fingertips with his hands in his pockets and said, "I understand. I'll help you solve it."
Bai Hansui's eyes lit up, "Really? You'll really solve it for me?"
Huo Chilin hummed solemnly, "You go back first, I have something else to do."
Bai Hansui was a little unwilling to hear this, but thinking that Huo Chilin still needed help with Shen Lai's matter, she didn't dare to say anything more and nodded obediently, "Okay, then I'll leave first."
After Bai Hansui left, the assistant beside her asked cautiously, "Mr. Huo, do you really want to help Miss Bai?"
Everyone knows that Shen Lai is now an artist of Bolai Entertainment, and with the support of the Shen family and the most elite legal team, it will be difficult for Bai Hansui to make a comeback this time.
Huo Chilin said calmly, "After all, I am also responsible for this matter. It is normal for me to speak up for her."
The assistant always felt that his boss agreed to Bai Hansui just to see Shen Lai. After all, Shen Lai now completely regarded Huo Chilin as trash and thought it was dirty to get close to him.
As for Chen Lai, she felt relaxed when she returned to the familiar villa.
This is obviously not her home.
She thought that maybe she was too restrained at Shen's house yesterday, so she had this illusion.
It was a rare opportunity that she didn't have to record a program, so Shen Lai took a shower early and went to bed to rest. Not long after she lay down, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was the hospital nurse calling.
Shen Lai thought it was the nurse who wanted to report her mother's condition, so she pressed the answer button.
However, just as the call was connected, the nurse's somewhat panicked voice came from the other end, "Ms. Shen, your mother suddenly fell into a coma just now and is now being rescued."
Shen Lai clenched his phone tightly, his heart suddenly rising, "What did you say?"
"I don't know what happened. I went out to get some water, and when I came back she had fainted. She's now being treated in the hospital."
Shen Lai quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Pei Jingyan.
Seeing her panic, Pei Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, "What's wrong?"
Shen Lai's voice was a little flustered, "The hospital just called and said my mother suddenly fell into a coma."
Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Pei Jingyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
Shen Lai turned around and looked at him, his eyes somewhat bewildered.
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I'll go with you."
Shen Lai was stunned.
Shen Lai didn't know how she got on the car. When she came to her senses, she was already in the car.
The neon lights of the city kept passing through the car window and projected onto Pei Jingyan's profile. In the hazy night, he looked indescribably noble and handsome.
Shen Lai pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I can just take a taxi there myself."
This had nothing to do with Pei Jingyan, so there was no need for him to go through this trouble with her.
Pei Jingyan tapped his slender fingertips on the steering wheel. "Consider this as a thank you gift for accompanying me to meet my parents yesterday."
Shen Lai whispered, "That was what we agreed upon."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked out the window, and the car window reflected her dazed eyes.
Her mother's physical condition has been relatively stable since she was hospitalized, and no one knows why she suddenly fainted.
Looking at Chen Lai's absent-minded profile, Pei Jingyan rarely made fun of her. His eyes gradually became deep, and the car fell into silence for a while.
After finally arriving at the hospital, Shen Lai hurried to the door of the emergency room. The nurse told her that her mother was still being rescued and the situation was not clear at the moment.
Shen Lai had no choice but to sit on the bench at the door and wait, his hands unconsciously clenched together, his whole body cold.
At this moment, a big warm hand suddenly came up.
Chen Lai was stunned. She raised her head and saw Pei Jingyan's deep eyes looking at her.
Pei Jingyan said in a steady voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
