Chapter 439: On Sister Xiu's Gossip Level
Love is precious, but diamonds are more valuable!
Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's greedy face, his dark pupils flickering across his lips as a smile repeatedly crossed his lips. He walked closer to Lin Yilan with his tall body, reached out and rubbed her head lovingly: "Little fool."
"Yeah, it's me, it's me." One hundred and fifty million, that would require several hundred years of hard work, right?
What's wrong with calling her a little fool? You can call her a little fool for the rest of her life.
Lin Yilan returned to the topic, looked at Huo Juncheng and asked, "How was your research this afternoon while Grandma and I were out? Did you find anything?"
"We're still researching."
Lin Yilan understood: "That means nothing has been researched yet."
Huo Juncheng: "..."
"Don't worry, it's okay. This is a long battle. I knew it a long time ago." Lin Yilan comforted Huo Juncheng. At this time, Long Cheng suddenly called and said that he had found Jenny's whereabouts.
"Where?"
Lin Yilan hadn't even sat down yet when she followed Huo Juncheng to meet up with Long Cheng.
When they arrived, they realized that they had not discovered Jenny's whereabouts. It was Gao Long and Gao Hu who had returned to Haicheng from their hometown and wanted to give them a surprise, so they asked Longcheng to make up such a lie.
Gao Long and Gao Hu were carrying a bunch of local specialties from their hometown. When they saw Lin Yilan, they rushed up and surrounded her.
Huo Juncheng seemed a little colder...
"Gao Long and Gao Hu! How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"Idol-san, Gao Hu and I have been thinking about this and it's really boring to be back home for so long... If you don't mind us, can we come back and be your bodyguards?"
"This..." Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng. After all, she didn't have the money to hire a bodyguard, and she didn't need one!
Huo Juncheng suddenly became jealous and said in a cold voice: "If you want to come back, shouldn't you hug me? Why are you all surrounding my wife?"
Gao Long and Gao Hu scratched their heads awkwardly, then ran over to Huo Juncheng with a smile, "Boss Huo, hey, you're usually too serious... We don't dare to be too rude with you."
Huo Juncheng had a handsome face, looking a little serious.
In fact, he was happier than anyone else that Gao Long and Gao Hu were back: "Come back! It's more lively with more people, otherwise Long Cheng wouldn't be able to handle it all by himself."
"Thank you, boss!"
…
The five of them happened to be sitting in a car and returned to the Huo family together. Huo Juncheng was afraid that Gao Long would pester Lin Yilan, so he assigned them some tasks in the car: "From now on, the job of protecting the lady will be Longcheng and Gao Hu."
Gao Long seemed to have guessed this outcome long ago and deliberately annoyed Huo Juncheng: "Boss Huo, you really picked the wrong person! Gao Hu and Long Cheng are both reserved and flirtatious. You should be wary of them. Unlike me, I am always so open and aboveboard."
Huo Juncheng sat upright in the back, pretending to be tired and took a short rest.
Gao Hu and Long Cheng jokingly replied, "Gao Long, shut up! Talk later. Boss Huo could easily fire all three of us. We've replaced the female bodyguards."
Huo Juncheng expressed his opinion seriously: "Well, this is a good suggestion. I will consider it."
"Haha." A group of people laughed.
"Boss, you should consider me! Haven't you heard the saying? It's easy to avoid obvious flirting, but it's hard to guard against subtle flirting."
Huo Juncheng suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes were cold and terrifying as he stared at Gao Long so closely. During the time Gao Long had been back in the countryside, he really missed the look in Huo Juncheng's eyes!
He missed her so much that tears were about to come out when he looked at Huo Juncheng: "Boss, I miss everything about you so much. I will never leave you on my own again."
Huo Juncheng: "..." Is his look so unintimidating now?
But I still feel warm in my heart.
Huo Juncheng took a few people to a very luxurious hotel for a meal, and then took them back to the Huo family.
The next day, around noon, Sister Xiu went out to give her statement and didn't return. Huo Juncheng became suspicious and called the police station, only to learn that Sister Xiu had gone home on her own within half an hour.
That means she should have been home yesterday afternoon...but she hasn't been seen until now.
Huo Juncheng asked another nanny for her phone number and tried to contact Sister Xiu, but still no one answered.
"Where can Sister Xiu go?" She has never remarried since divorcing her husband in her thirties and has stayed in the Huo family to work. She has no family at all... She almost regards the Huo family as her own home.
A bad idea came to Huo Juncheng's mind, and he immediately asked Gao Long, Gao Hu and Long Cheng to go out and help find Sister Xiu.
Lin Yilan also mobilized his third senior brother to post a missing person notice online, offering a reward of 100,000 yuan.
Three days passed...no news at all.
Grandma has always been served by Sister Xiu. In the past two days when Sister Xiu was away, Grandma couldn't even enjoy her meals. The old lady looked at the rooftop where Sister Xiu often stood, with a dazed look on her face: "Hey... where could Xiu'er go? She won't say too much and get silenced, will she?"
Grandma didn't mean it, but Huo Juncheng took it to heart!
Maybe it’s true!
Huo Juncheng's residence is considered a prime location in Haicheng, and the residents are all prominent figures in business and politics. Mr. Jiang has even been on the Forbes list for several consecutive years.
Considering Sister Xiu's usual gossip level, maybe she said too much at the police station.
Huo Juncheng suddenly stood up, startling everyone.
Grandma glanced at him and said, "You little bastard, are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
Lin Yilan wondered what was wrong with him, and when she looked up, she saw Huo Juncheng seriously expressing his doubts: "Gao Long, go to Mr. Jiang's house to see if there is any trace of Sister Xiu."
Just as I was about to talk about my upcoming plan, Sister Xiu came back smiling, carrying the dishes in her hands.
"Sister Xiu?"
Several people looked at each other, as if they were hallucinating.
Sister Xiu walked in with fresh vegetables in her arms, her face rosy. Seeing Gao Long and Gao Hu there, she greeted them with her usual enthusiasm: "Gao Long and Gao Hu are back too? What do you want to eat tonight? Sister Xiu will make it for you."
Huo Juncheng asked in surprise, "Sister Xiu, what have you been doing these past two days?"
"Your sister Xiu, I've fallen in love!"
Everyone: “…”
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Xiujie curled her lips, her smile filled with happiness and sweetness: "Didn't you tell me that I could take my annual leave whenever I wanted? Besides, my love came so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell you. Blame it on me. I made this meal for you tonight, and I still have to go back to my love."
Huo Juncheng looked at Sister Xiu in silence, "I take it back now... Next time if you want to take a vacation, you must tell us in advance and don't make us worry so much. I thought you..."
"What do you think I am?" Sister Xiu asked back.
Lin Yilan's eyebrows curved, and with a sweet smile, she diverted Sister Xiu's words to another place: "I thought our neighbor Mr. Jiang had silenced you!"
"With his tiny body? Kidnapping me? Impossible! Do you think I can kill him with one sitting motion?"
