Chapter 54: Secret Base
Lin Yilan naturally exaggerated on purpose.
Old Madam Huo rolled her eyes at Huo Juncheng fiercely, then angrily scolded him, "You're such a grown-up, why can't you let me worry less? How could you take my granddaughter-in-law to do such a dangerous thing? That man can even spread rumors that Lanlan did such a thing. Aren't you afraid that he's a desperado? What if anything happens to the two of you?"
"Grandma, don't listen to her nonsense. She is just a poor student. She was bewitched, so she did that." Huo Juncheng explained unhappily.
But his words seemed to have no effect on Mrs. Huo.
The three of them got into the car together, and Mrs. Huo pointed out that they were going to No. 79 Gaudí Street.
That restaurant has been open for many years. On weekdays, grandma would only take Huo Juncheng there to eat when she was in a good mood and had time.
Of course, the restaurant is also the Huo family's business.
It is said that the Huo family's fortune also started from there.
The memories of the past were so painful that Huo Juncheng was always cautious and never dared to mention the past in front of his grandmother.
Huo Juncheng was surprised to learn that Grandma Huo would take Lin Yilan with her today.
"Grandma, the decoration here is so unique. It looks a bit like a Hong Kong-style restaurant from the 1980s. I have never been to Hong Kong. I just saw it on TV. I'm just talking nonsense. Please don't mind me, grandma." As soon as Lin Yilan stepped onto the stairs, she was attracted by the posters on both sides of the stairs. She gently stroked them with one hand and muttered to herself.
"Those are grandma's treasures. If you break them, you won't be able to pay them back even if you work like a slave for the Huo family in your next life." Huo Juncheng snorted coldly and said.
The posters on the wall are indeed Grandma Huo’s treasures. Some of them are of Teresa Teng, all of them are signed. These are all rare collections of Grandma Huo.
After hearing Huo Juncheng introduce the restaurant's furnishings one by one, Lin Yilan clapped her hands in surprise: "Grandma, you are really amazing. Everything in this restaurant is the result of your life's hard work. But, if you put it in the restaurant, aren't you afraid that someone coming to eat will damage it?"
"This place is not open to the public. Didn't you notice just now that we also need an access card to come in? We only come here to take a look when we are bored." Grandma Huo squinted her eyes and smiled, patiently explaining to Lin Yilan.
Perhaps because she had never felt the love of family since she was a child, Lin Yilan felt much more comfortable whenever she talked to Grandma Huo about her worries.
As long as Grandma Huo was standing there, she felt at ease.
While eating, when Lin Yilan reached out for the fourth bowl of rice, the waiter looked at Lin Yilan with a look of shock on his face.
"Well, if the key doesn't come with rice, then forget it. Thank you." Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed after she said that. She scratched her head sheepishly and smiled.
The waiter and Huo Juncheng exchanged a glance, then said timidly, "Yes, I'm just worried that your stomach will feel uncomfortable after eating. If you need, I'll go get you some food right away."
Lin Yilan nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and chuckled: "I won't feel uncomfortable in my stomach if I eat too much, but if you don't let me eat enough, my stomach will really feel uncomfortable when I go back!"
When Lin Yilan saw that everyone was looking at her with surprised eyes, she realized that she seemed to have lost her composure.
"Grandma, the food here is so delicious. Although the food at home is prepared by professional nutritionists, I still prefer the food here!" Lin Yilan pointed to the table of delicious food in front of her and kept praising it.
Grandma Huo said nothing and just let her be.
After eating and drinking, Huo Juncheng sent Lin Yilan and her grandmother home together: "You go back first, I have some things to deal with at the company."
"Wait, didn't we agree that you can only work eight hours a day? If you must go, take me with you!" Lin Yilan protested.
Huo Juncheng was displeased and said coldly, "I'm going back to the company to work. I don't have time to play with you. You should have a good rest. I'll be back later."
Lin Yilan snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Huo Juncheng: "If you don't take me with you, I will find a way to go there myself, so you can do it yourself!"
Huo Juncheng had no choice but to take Lin Yilan to the company.
There is a very important international conference tonight, which will have a huge impact on tomorrow's stock market.
Lin Yilan was not completely clueless, so after she left, she did not force Huo Juncheng to go home with her quickly.
Instead, there was an uncharacteristic silence, which made Huo Juncheng, who was in the meeting, feel a little uneasy.
"If you are bored, go back first. I may need a while. I'll ask the driver to take you back." Huo Juncheng said as he took out his cell phone to call the driver.
Lin Yilan shook her head like a rattle, snatched Huo Juncheng's phone away and hung up. "Only I can decide when I go back. I think you should just focus on your own work and leave me alone!"
Lin Yilan emphasized the last sentence again, "Don't worry about me."
Huo Juncheng was getting busier and busier, and he didn't even have time to look at Lin Yilan. When Huo Juncheng hung up the video and looked back, Lin Yilan had fallen asleep on the table without him knowing when.
"You scold me all day long. When have you ever felt sorry for yourself?" Huo Juncheng took off his suit jacket and carefully covered Lin Yilan with it.
When he finished all his work, he glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window behind him. The sun was rising slowly outside the window, and the sky around him was already bright.
Lin Yilan was still in a coma, and Huo Juncheng was struggling over whether to wake her up.
Huo Juncheng quietly bent down and looked at Lin Yilan carefully. Her arms were under her face. After sleeping all night, there was naturally a deep mark on her face.
Huo Juncheng raised his hand with some pity and rubbed it gently.
Lin Yilan was actually woken up by his behavior.
At that time, Huo Juncheng's hand was still on Lin Yilan's face. After seeing Lin Yilan wake up, Huo Juncheng quickly pulled his hand back.
However, Lin Yilan's focus was not on this. When she saw the light in front of her eyes, she angrily took off her suit jacket and threw it to Huo Juncheng: "Big liar, didn't we agree to go back and rest early? Look, it's already daybreak, and you've fooled me again!"
After saying this, Lin Yilan walked out in a huff.
Huo Juncheng shook his head helplessly.
When he and Lin Yilan returned to the Huo family, they just made it in time for breakfast.
"I'll go wash up first. You guys eat first." After saying that, Huo Juncheng walked towards his room.
When Huo Juncheng finished washing up, water droplets were still dripping down his head. He wiped it with a towel in one hand and walked out.
Thinking that Lin Yilan had slept in his office all night and didn't even wash up after coming back, Huo Juncheng walked out angrily.
