"I'll be back soon after the meeting." Huo Shen unconsciously grasped Lin Jiu's hand, "I'll arrange for someone to protect you."
When Lin Jiu was held by him, he trembled with fear.
Just then, Mrs. Tang called.
Lin Jiu quickly took the opportunity to pull his hand away and answer the phone.
"Grandma, I'll be home soon." Lin Jiu explained to Grandma Tang as soon as he answered the phone, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Where are you? I'll have the driver pick you up right away. It's very late now and it's not safe."
"Me." Lin Jiu turned his head to look at Huo Shen, "My friend sent me back."
"Jiu'er, you can make friends right after arriving in Qingna? Qingna is different from Bincheng. It's a port city with a more complicated population and many bad guys."
Because the night was very quiet, Huo Shen could hear the voices on the phone.
Although Huo Shen felt uncomfortable listening to what Old Lady Tang said, he felt that Lin Jiu deserved to be taught that by Old Lady Tang.
After all, a girl is outside so late at night and in an unfamiliar place, so she should pay attention to safety.
"Grandma, she's my friend from Bincheng, and she happens to be in Qingna too."
"That's good. Are you almost home now?" Old Mrs. Tang's voice was full of anxiety.
"Let's go now."
Xicheng was very tactful and drove the Rolls-Royce to Lin Jiu's side.
Lin Jiu sat in the back seat and Huo Shen sat next to her.
Huo Shen's sudden grip on her hand before made her feel a little frightened.
Could it be that Huo Shen is interested in her?
Not likely.
After all, he is a high-ranking president, and she is just the eldest daughter of the Lin family who came from the slums... She is not the eldest daughter of the Lin family at all, and she doesn't even know where she came from. She is just a wild girl.
Lin Jiu suddenly felt regretful about his words of concern for Huo Shen, which might have given him a false impression.
It was impossible for her to be with him, and it was extremely ridiculous for her to even have such an idea.
In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Lin Jiu leaned against the car door and pretended to sleep after getting in the car.
Huo Shen could see through her pretending to be asleep at a glance.
What a lovely girl.
The light from the street lamp shines through the car window and falls on Lin Jiu's profile, which is beautiful and eye-catching.
Huo Shen covered her with a thin blanket.
His slender fingers gripped the edge of the blanket, his eyes fixed on her fair skin.
At this moment, Huo Shen wanted to gently touch the side of her face with his fingertips.
But he didn't do that in the end, just pulled the blanket upwards.
The Rolls-Royce drove into Mrs. Tang's private villa, and Mrs. Tang went downstairs with the servants to greet them.
She wanted to confirm whether the boy who sent Lin Jiu back was the handsome guy she saw in the hotel today.
But when he saw the license plate number of the Rolls-Royce, he was stunned.
A car from the Huo Group?
“Xicheng, just park the car here and let Xiaojiu get off.”
Huo Shen knew that he had just signed a cooperation agreement worth hundreds of millions of yuan with the Tang Group. If Old Mrs. Tang knew that he and Lin Jiu knew each other, or if other people in the Tang family knew about it, it would not be good for Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu, who was leaning against the car door, snorted, slowly opened her eyes, and saw that the car was parked some distance away from the main building of the villa. She was very grateful for Huo Shen's understanding and smiled at him faintly.
"Thanks, I'm getting off. Please be careful."
Old Mrs. Tang and the servants walked towards the Rolls-Royce. Before they could see who was in the back seat, the Rolls-Royce turned around and left.
Old Madam Tang held Lin Jiu's hand and said, "Jiu'er, is your friend from the Huo Group?"
