"Everyone is living better than before..."
Lin Jiu and Li Mo talked about the past, and it would take them several days to finish.
On the other side of the garden, a man slowly brought a half-smoked cigarette to his lips.
The mist blurred his facial features and made his eyes even darker.
"Mr. Huo, that man seems to be very familiar with Lin Jiu." Xicheng, who was standing behind Huo Shen, also saw Lin Jiu in the garden chatting with a man, and he was very engrossed in the conversation.
Huo Shen did not reply. Xicheng knew that he was angry, so he had to keep his mouth shut and dared not speak anymore.
The moon gradually lengthened Huo Shen's shadow. He extinguished his cigarette fiercely and turned to leave.
"Mr. Huo, are we leaving now?"
"Then go and kill that man."
Xicheng curled his lips and had no choice but to follow Huo Shen closely.

Li Mo slowed down his pace and looked up at the sky, which was filled with stars. In fact, he was trying to hide the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Over the years, the ups and downs of life have made him experience the fickleness of the world. Whenever he sees Lin Jiu, he thinks of his childhood, which always makes him feel sad.
Drop—drop—
Lin Jiu glanced at Li Mo. He seemed not to notice that his phone kept ringing, so he had to remind him, "Your phone is ringing, check what's going on, we can talk another day."
"Okay." Li Mo picked up the phone and frowned, "Sorry, Xiaojiu, I have something to do now. See you next time."
Lin Jiu waved goodbye to Li Mo, watched his back disappear, and then closed his eyes. The memories of his childhood in the slums echoed in his mind.
Suddenly, she felt a cool breeze passing behind her. Lin Jiu dodged to the side, but was not as fast as the man. He covered her mouth and pulled her into the bushes in the garden.
When she saw the facial features of the person who kidnapped her clearly, she felt extremely dangerous.
Xicheng stood outside the bushes and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Just now, Huo Shen suddenly pulled Lin Jiu into the garden. He saw it, but he knew Huo Shen's temper. He was very angry now and had no way to stop it.
I could only stand outside the garden and keep watch, preventing others from approaching.
"There's a celebration party going on for you, but you're not going and are having a secret meeting with a man in the garden instead?"
Oh my god!
Private meeting!
The hat was too big, no wonder Lin Jiu felt that this man was full of violence and smelled of cigarettes.
It turns out that he was jealous.
Lin Jiu kicked the tree trunk and used the force to turn around and break free from Huo Shen's restraints.
He scolded Huo Shen angrily.
"President Huo, you are also a prominent figure. How could you say such a thing? Don't you think your words offended a lady?"
Huo Shen's eyes darkened, and he didn't know what to say.
"President Huo, you've helped me many times before, and I'm very grateful to you. You said you were impressed by my ability to identify antiques and wanted me to be your assistant. I can repay that favor, but I'd like you to clarify the boundaries for other matters."
Lin Jiu turned and left, but Huo Shen grabbed her.
"I'm sorry I can't accompany you to take the college entrance examination."
Huo Shen took out a box from his suit pocket and handed it to Lin Jiu.
"Belated wishes, I hope you like it."
Huo Shen pressed the mechanism and the box opened, revealing a moon-shaped sapphire pendant necklace.
Such a large gem is obviously worth a lot of money.
"It's expensive, I won't accept it, take it."
"Remember the bet we made before? I never thought you could be so good at studying. I'm willing to admit defeat, okay?"
