Chapter 44 Marriage?
After Pei Yuzhi left Huo Qiao's apartment, Huo Qiao also left soon after and took the nearest flight back to Shanghai.
Just like the news he received, the atmosphere in the Huo's old house was tense.
When they saw him appear, everyone's eyes were alert and defensive.
It was as if he was an enemy who came to snatch the treasure.
Huo Qiao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He was indeed here to steal something.
The personal butler of the old man of the Huo family apologized to Huo Qiao and said that the old man's blood pressure was a little high these days. The doctor told him to rest and he might not be able to see Huo Qiao.
"Then let the old man have a good rest."
Huo Qiao was unusually easy to talk to. After speaking, he turned around and left.
A trace of bewilderment flashed across the personal butler's eyes. He had already prepared to get entangled with Huo Qiao, so how could it be...
"However, Butler Qi, remember to remind the old man." Huo Qiao turned his head while standing at the stairs.
The personal butler raised his head again, and he tensed his body and said, "Young Master, please give me your orders."
Huo Qiao smiled, and some teasing flashed in his eyes:
"Huo Sheng was targeted for money laundering in a casino in the United States. He touched the interests of a local tycoon, and the other party might negotiate with China for extradition."
"What?" The personal butler lost his elegance and composure and exclaimed in surprise.
"The family doesn't know yet?" Huo Qiao turned around and seemed surprised, "It's a good thing to give birth to a daughter to the Huo family, but it's not a good thing to offend these underworld forces abroad, right?"
The black car drove out of the gate, and Huo Qiao saw through the glass that there were two figures standing in front of a window on the second floor of the old house.
He retracted his gaze and made a phone call.
"Hello, it's me, uncle. I'm back in Shanghai. I need your help with something."
"Okay, let's talk face to face."
At the same time, at the Pei family in Dongsu City.
Sun Nutu has been very free recently, and often sets up an easel and stays in the back garden for a whole day.
Today she received a call.
It was a number from Shanghai, and a smile flashed across Sun Nutu's eyes.
"Hello? Xianyue, how come you have time to call me?"
The person on the other side was Huo Qiao's mother.
When Pei Yuzhi was about to leave home, he habitually went to the back garden to say hello to his mother.
Before he approached, he heard some of his mother's voices.
"--Of course I want my kid to make friends with Huo Qiao, but these two little guys are busier than us elders."
Pei Yuzhi stood in the corridor listening to the conversation inside, and was silent for a moment.
"Oh? Huo Qiao went back to the Magic City?"
"I haven't heard about your boyfriend. Do you need me to check for you here?"
"Since he is willing to go back to the Magic City to surrender to his eldest brother, I think he will be willing to meet the youngest son of the Xie family soon, so don't be too anxious."
Pei Yuzhi's eyelids moved slightly, and the conversation inside came to an end, and he exchanged a few more pleasantries.
After Sun Nv Tu hung up the phone, she realized that her eldest son was standing behind her.
She patted her chest and said angrily, "Why are you standing there without saying anything? You scared me."
Pei Yuzhi walked in with a smile, "Mom, I saw you were on the phone and didn't dare to disturb you."
Sun Nv Tu remembered something and asked, "It's your Aunt Cui, Huo Qiao's mother. By the way, you said last time that Huo Qiao had a boyfriend. Is this true?"
"Yes, it is." Pei Yuzhi sat opposite her and filled a cup of fruit tea for her, and asked casually, "Aunt Cui wants Huo Qiao to marry someone? Does a family like the Huo family need a marriage?"
"The Huo family has been in turmoil these days. The target of this marriage is a connection with Huo Qiao's maternal grandfather," Sun Nv Tu frowned as she thought of something. "What does Huo Qiao's boyfriend in Dongsu City do?"
Pei Yuzhi paused, and soon he stroked the warm wall of the cup, thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure."
Sun Nv Tu sighed, "When Huo Qiao comes back from the Magic City, I will invite him to my home for dinner. Baby, you must be a good host and entertain him then."
Pei Yuzhi was unusually silent when he left home.
Ding Ding.
The phone rang twice, and he looked down. On the screen was a WeChat message from Bai Xi.
He moved his lips, feeling a little uninterested for a moment.
But this was clearly what he wanted.
Explain to Bai Xi in person what happened in the hot spring hotel, and then encourage Bai Xi to break up with Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiao doesn't like Bai Xi anyway.
He will marry the marriage partner arranged by his family sooner or later.
Look, he can't wait to go back to Shanghai for the blind date.
Tsk.
Pei Yuzhi's brows were tightly furrowed.
He raised his hand to reply to Bai Xi's message.
After sending the message, he exited the chat box with Bai Xi, and his fingers moved the screen up and down aimlessly. When he saw Huo Qiao hiding very low, his eyes paused.
*
West gate of Dongsu Academy of Fine Arts.
It was almost 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and the place was bustling with students who were leaving school.
When Pei Yuzhi arrived, he saw Bai Xi standing on the side of the road from a distance.
Bai Xi stood under a dense tree, the leaves rustled in the wind, the faint light shone on his earlobes, and the black five-star earrings sparkled.
Pei Yuzhi's eyes darkened, and his gaze continued to move downward.
Bai Xi wore a black collar around his neck, the same one that Pei Yuzhi and Bai Xi had seen that night in the hot spring hotel.
The familiar and long-lost throbbing returned to Pei Yuzhi.
These days, he and Huo Qiao have had too many interactions, which actually made him confused.
It was a complete illusion.
Pei Yuzhi laughed and thought he was really crazy.
In the car, he and Huo Qiao, one was taking Chinese medicine and the other was drunk.
They were both young men full of vigor and vitality, so it was normal for them to masturbate together.
Pei Yuzhi let out a sigh of relief due to the hazy memory. He shook his head vigorously to shake out the yellow waste.
It was impossible. Huo Qiao could not be the person who spent a night with him in the hot spring hotel.
It was obviously Bai Xi.
It had always been Bai Xi.
Putting aside the last bit of worry in his heart, Pei Yuzhi pushed the door and got out of the car.
Bai Xi, who was standing under the tree, saw the luxury car reflecting the light in the sun from a distance.
His heart was pounding, and when he saw the familiar figure getting out of the car, a reserved and happy smile appeared on his face.
"Senior Pei!" Bai Xi walked towards Pei Yuzhi involuntarily.
"Bai Xi, I'm sorry I'm late."
Bai Xi shook his head, "No, I got out of class early, so I arrived early."
His skin color is not a cold white tone. In order to meet Pei Yuzhi today, he deliberately put on a deliberate nude makeup.
Pei Yuzhi looked at his sparkling eyes and honey-colored moist lips, and his mood improved a lot.
"I've reserved a seat, let's go."
Pei Yuzhi's figure is very eye-catching among the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, and his face has appeared in various groups of the Academy of Fine Arts. He
is the type that people can identify with as soon as he appears.
With many people watching, they got into the luxury car, one tall and one short.
"Hey, Zhong Lin, what are you looking at? Let's go."
On the other side, Zhong Lin turned his head from the tail of the car that was gradually leaving the sight.
He spoke thoughtfully: "Bai Xi broke up?"
"Who? Bai Xi? Isn't his boyfriend from your department?"
Zhong Lin frowned, not understanding the situation, and turned to send a message to Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiao, who was about to board the plane, casually glanced at his lit mobile phone.
Zhong Lin: [Did you really break up with Bai Xi? Pei Yuzhi chased Bai Xi to the school gate.]
"Master, you can board the plane. Chairman Cui has arrived in Quan City. The meeting time is at two o'clock in the afternoon. The head of the Xie family is also traveling with him."
The assistant replied respectfully, and Huo Qiao's eyelashes moved.
"Well, I'll ask for leave from school. I will go back the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
The phone was quickly turned off, and Zhong Lin never received a reply to this message.
