Chapter 59
Huo Changfeng sighed and hugged Mu Qingxuan tighter: "Gao Liyue has been making trouble since the day you applied for Capital University. I was on guard and sent people to monitor her."
"I didn't expect that I would actually discover her and Mu Qianqian's conspiracy. So, I immediately sent someone to pick up Aunt Chen."
"I just didn't expect them to be so impatient. Aunt Chen rushed as fast as she could but almost couldn't catch up."
His voice became lower and lower, and the last few words were almost spoken against Mu Qingxuan's lips.
As Mu Qingxuan listened to Huo Changfeng's story, a warm feeling surged in her heart and she was deeply moved.
She buried her head in Huo Changfeng's arms again, and said in a muffled voice: "Husband, it's great to have you..."
The corners of Huo Changfeng's lips slightly raised, his eyes full of tenderness.
The two of them stayed together for a while, then picked up Aunt Chen and went back to the Huo family.
Cui Lirong was very enthusiastic about Chen Hongxia's arrival and treated her like her mother-in-law. However, she was very disappointed when she heard that Chen Hongxia was going back to Lotus Village tomorrow.
"Why don't you stay a few more days? We'll have a chance to show you around the city."
"No need. I'm just here to do something. After that I have to go back to do farm work." Chen Hongxia waved her hand and thanked Cui Lirong for her kindness.
Speaking of this, Cui Lirong had already heard about what happened during the day.
She slapped the sofa and said indignantly, "Those newspapers are really ridiculous. They just published things without verifying anything. If you, Hongxia, hadn't come here, our Qingxuan would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River."
Chen Hongxia glanced at Huo Changfeng and was surprised that he didn't tell Cui Lirong about his plan.
"This is what I should do. Qingxuan is also a girl I watched grow up. She is no different from my own biological daughter."
When Cui Lirong heard this, she burst into laughter.
She glanced in Huo Changfeng's direction.
Huo Changfeng was looking at the newspaper seriously without raising his head, as if he didn't pay any attention to what they were talking about.
Cui Lirong rolled her eyes, nudged Chen Hongxia's elbow, and asked softly in a voice that Huo Changfeng could hear: "Hongxia, since you watched Qingxuan grow up, can you tell me what Qingxuan was like when she was a child?"
"She should be pretty and obedient, right?"
Cui Lirong touched her chin and felt sorry that she didn't have a daughter.
She gave birth to a son, who was a taciturn person and never said anything nice to coax her.
Cui Lirong shook her head regretfully.
Chen Hongxia was stunned, her face looked a little strange: "Qingxuan girl...she was not quiet and obedient at all when she was a child."
"Ah?" Cui Lirong was stunned.
"At that time, Qingxuan was like a boy, always climbing trees to get eggs and going to the river to catch fish. She never stopped, which made her grandfather very angry."
Chen Hongxia paused and continued, "But this is also a good thing. I remember when Qingxuan was fourteen or fifteen years old, she went to the back mountain of the village to play and accidentally saved someone."
Huo Changfeng's eyes fixed, and his fingers holding the newspaper tightened involuntarily.
He pursed his lips, his mind no longer on the newspaper.
Cui Lirong's eyes widened in surprise and she asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
Chen Hongxia replied: "It seems that someone was seriously injured and fainted in the back mountain of the village. The back mountain is usually deserted. If Qingxuan hadn't been playing there and happened to find him, I'm afraid that person would have been in great danger..."
"After Qingxuan found the person, she hurried to call her grandfather. Her grandfather is a well-known Chinese medicine doctor with superb medical skills. I think he saved the boy in the end."
Chen Hongxia shook her head.
She didn't pay much attention to it at that time. After all, the man seemed to have only stayed in the village for half a day.
After the person was rescued, he was taken away by a plane.
The news was a hot topic in the village at the time, and everyone was discussing the identity of that person.
But after much discussion, there was no result.
Finally, I gradually forgot about it.
If they hadn't suddenly talked about this today, Chen Hongxia wouldn't have remembered it.
Cui Lirong frowned, feeling that this matter was somewhat familiar.
She pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered: "Five years ago, wasn't that Changfeng..."
Cui Lirong subconsciously looked at Huo Changfeng, her eyes flashing.
Huo Changfeng sat on the sofa indifferently, as if he didn't hear what they were saying at all.
Unmoved.
As they were talking, Mu Qingxuan slowly walked down from upstairs and asked curiously, "Mom, Aunt Chen, what are you talking about? It's so noisy?"
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "I was just talking about the time when you were 15 and rescued a man from the back mountain."
Cui Lirong's eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively: "Qingxuan, do you still remember what that person looks like?"
Mu Qingxuan was stunned for a long time before she remembered what Chen Hongxia was referring to.
She tilted her head, recalled for a long time, and just shook her head: "When I met that person, he was badly injured, his face was covered with blood and dirt, and I couldn't see what he looked like at all."
"Not long after, he was taken away again, and I didn't have a chance to watch it."
"But I heard from my grandfather that the one who came to pick him up was a fighter plane. I guess that person must have a military background. I hope his injuries can be healed in the end."
Hearing Mu Qingxuan say that she didn't remember, Cui Lirong frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of Huo Changfeng again.
However, Huo Changfeng looked calm, but the corners of his mouth were tense.
Cui Lirong immediately understood what was going on. She shrugged her shoulders and simply stopped asking.
She patted the seat next to her and motioned for Mu Qingxuan to come over and sit over: "Come and try some of the freshly cut fruit Auntie Wang has prepared."
Mu Qingxuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mom."
"jingle--"
A hurried phone call suddenly rang.
Everyone subconsciously looked over, wondering who was coming at this time.
Huo Changfeng stood up, straightened his cuffs which had no wrinkles at all, walked to the table and answered the phone.
He responded a few times and quickly hung up.
Then he looked at Mu Qingxuan: "Where's Chang Yingying?"
"Upstairs."
Mu Qingxuan pointed to the second floor. She had just come downstairs after giving Chang Yingying an injection.
Chang Yingying had suffered too much in the past, and her body was seriously weak. Even if she took medicinal food every day, she couldn't recover in a short time.
Moreover, there were still many residual diseases in her body, so Mu Qingxuan had to give her acupuncture treatment every day.
"Do you have something to do with her?"
Huo Changfeng nodded, without further explanation, turned around and walked upstairs.
Mu Qingxuan frowned.
She keenly sensed that Huo Changfeng seemed a little unhappy now.
But why is he unhappy?
Mu Qingxuan racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out.
Cui Lirong snorted coldly and patted Mu Qingxuan's hand gently: "Don't worry about him, this brat is just like his father, he thinks everyone has to indulge his bad temper."
Huo Jianye, who was playing chess with himself:?
