However, because of what happened in the morning, Huo Beiting had no thoughts at all. After walking back and forth in the villa several times, he finally decided to call Liu Xiaoyun in person.
After asking his assistant for Liu Xiaoyun's private phone number, Huo Beiting called her directly.
At this time, Liu Xiaoyun had just arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Yan Qing, and was holding the menu and preparing to order.
My cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
This is his private number. No one knows his phone number except his close friends, and he has also told those people not to give his phone number to others casually.
After a slight hesitation, Liu Xiaoyun answered the phone with a skeptical attitude.
"Hello, how are you?"
Liu Xiaoyun didn't say anything when he picked up the phone. However, since he didn't speak, there was no movement on the other end either. It was as if the two of them were competing with each other and neither of them spoke first.
Finally, Liu Xiaoyun saw that the time for his appointment with Yan Qing was almost up, and he couldn't help but try to ask.
"Liu Xiaoyun, I'm from the Huo family."
Huo Beiting stated his identity as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liu Xiaoyun heard the familiar voice but couldn't remember who it was until he heard his introduction.
But he was sure that he had never met anyone from the Huo family, except Huo Zhen, and he had only met him once or twice.
"The Huo family?"
Liu Xiaoyun couldn't remember how he had ever met anyone from the Huo family, and didn't quite understand why this person called him.
"I'm calling because I hope you can resolve those online issues as soon as possible. The Yan family and we are old friends, and the parents of both families are interested in us getting married. So, do you understand what I mean, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Xiaoyun's face darkened, but his tone remained the same as before, without any fluctuation.
"Really? But I've never heard Qingqing mention this. And even if it really happened, you said it was a matter between the two adults. Whether Qingqing would agree or not is another matter. It's the 21st century now, and that kind of feudal marriage has been completely eliminated."
Liu Xiaoyun smiled as he spoke, then thought of the person who was about to arrive and continued, "By the way, I'm afraid you and Qingqing aren't very familiar with each other. She hates these feudal activities the most."
However, the situation of Huo Beiting on the opposite side was not exactly the same as that of Liu Xiaoyun.
He felt a little anxious when he thought of his current identity, but years of negotiation taught him that the more urgent it was, the more he could not let the other party notice his cowardice.
"Really? Did Qingqing tell you this, or do you just think so?"
Huo Beiting was certain that Yan Qing would never say these words to an outsider like Liu Xiaoyun, so the only possibility was that Liu Xiaoyun was just guessing.
As expected, after Huo Beiting finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyun didn't say another word.
"Mr. Liu, if you know, you can tell me. If you don't know, don't say anything. It will be embarrassing if you get caught."
Huo Beiting successfully won back a game. In a good mood, he walked to the balcony with his mobile phone and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"But am I wrong? Qingqing and I have known each other longer than you and we are in frequent contact. I know Qingqing's personality very well."
"If I remember correctly, I once heard Qingqing mention you. I think she called you Mr. Liu, and you called her Miss Yan. So you are quite familiar with each other, Mr. Liu?"
Huo Beiting emphasized these three words, "You can eat whatever you want, at most you'll have diarrhea, but don't say anything careless, or you'll ruin the image you've cultivated for so many years!"
Huo Beiting's skill in making people angry was learned from the various directors. Those directors were all old hands, and the words coming from them were absolutely sharp.
Liu Xiaoyun was about to speak when he suddenly saw a piece of clothing flash by the door. At that moment, he didn't know what was going on in his brain. He put his phone under the table and looked at the menu with a normal expression.
"I'm sorry I'm late. There's too much going on at the company, and my assistant won't let me out until I'm done!"
Yan Qing was breathing heavily, and as soon as he sat down at the table, he picked up the boiled water and took a gulp.
"It's okay, I haven't been here long."
Liu Xiaoyun spoke calmly, but the hand under the table was clenched into a fist, and the palm was slightly moist.
Huo Beiting was still waiting for Liu Xiaoyun to speak when he suddenly heard Yan Qing's voice. He thought he was discovered and kept thinking about how to explain to her.
"What do you want to eat? I haven't ordered yet."
Yan Qing took the menu and simply ordered two dishes. This time it was not just a meal, Yan Qing had other things to say.
When Huo Beiting heard Yan Qing ordering food, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he complained in his heart about Liu Xiaoyun, the villain. Qingqing was here, but he didn't hang up the phone. What was he trying to do!
But even though he knew that Liu Xiaoyun had no good intentions, Huo Beiting still didn't want to hang up the phone. He wanted to hear what Yan Qing's purpose was in having dinner with Liu Xiaoyun this time.
Liu Xiaoyun vaguely heard the voice on the other end of the phone and knew that the person had not hung up. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he just started talking to Yan Qing.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Liu Xiaoyun took the initiative to speak.
"Before you came, someone from the Huo family called me. Do you want to know what they said on the phone?"
Yan Qing paused and swallowed the words he was about to say, "People from the Huo family? Why would they call you?"
Yan Qing frowned slightly, with confusion evident between his brows.
Huo Beiting on the other end of the phone secretly cursed Liu Xiaoyun in his heart as a villain, and actually said it directly.
Huo Beiting hesitated whether to hang up the phone, but it seemed that there was no point in hanging up. If Liu Xiaoyun showed the call records to Yan Qing, he would definitely know when he saw the familiar phone number.
What a mistake, what a mistake. I should have changed my number!
Huo Beiting couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart, while Liu Xiaoyun was a little nervous. After all, it was the first time in his life that he had done such a despicable thing.
"You're talking about our relationship, and you want me to resolve the online situation as soon as possible. You also said that you and he are already engaged. Is this true?"
When Liu Xiaoyun spoke, he didn't even notice that his voice was trembling a little, and he spoke very cautiously.
"Engagement? Why would he say that? We're not familiar with each other, and the engagement was only discussed between my dad and the old man of the Huo family. We haven't even met a few times! How could this guy be like this!"
Yan Qing instantly had a bad impression of the man she had only met a few times. Thinking about how he had helped her before, she didn't expect that he would go out and spread rumors. It was really too much!
"I see! That's what I said."
After Liu Xiaoyun finished speaking, he secretly glanced down at his phone and found that the page had been closed. It seemed that the man must have heard it.
Liu Xiaoyun achieved his goal, and the man was gone, so his expression returned to normal and he took the initiative to talk to Yan Qing.
