After leaving Yan's, Huo Beiting felt dazed. His brain was a little confused because he hadn't slept all night. He looked back at Yan's, the towering building, and couldn't see where Yan Qing was.
Huo Beiting looked at Yan deeply, closed his eyes, got into the car and left.
Perhaps because he had talked it out this time, there was no one following Huo Beiting as before, so he went straight home.
Huo Beiting hadn't been back for a long time, and suddenly felt as if he was in another world. Huo Beiting looked up at the house and walked in step by step.
The housekeeper came over excitedly to see the eldest young master who had not been seen for a long time. "Young master, you are back?"
The butler put down the things in his hands, walked quickly to Huo Beiting, put the coat that Huo Beiting took off in his arms, and put the slippers in front of Huo Beiting.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Oh, the master would be very happy to know. I'll go buy some food right away. Is there anything you want to eat today, young master?"
The housekeeper kept talking next to Huo Beiting, but Huo Beiting waved his hand and didn't want to talk about it.
"No, I'm a little tired and want to rest. You don't need to call me for dinner."
Huo Beiting climbed up the stairs slowly. The housekeeper looked at Huo Beiting's back and felt something was wrong. He looked a little lonely. Did he experience something outside?
The housekeeper looked at Huo Beiting and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he called Huo Zhen directly.
"Hey, what's up?"
Huo Zhenzhong's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone, which made people feel reassured.
"Master, the eldest young master is back today, but he seems to be a little unwell."
As the housekeeper spoke, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked up at Huo Beiting's room upstairs, his eyes full of worry.
"Uncomfortable? What kind of discomfort? Physical or mental?"
Huo Zhen was in a meeting at the time. When he heard that Huo Beiting seemed unwell, his heart immediately fell into his throat.
"What the hell is going on?"
Huo Zhen waved to pause the meeting and went outside to answer the call with his mobile phone.
"He's not feeling well, but he seems to be in a bad mood. When I went back today, I felt something was wrong with him. He was also indifferent when I talked to the young master. Anyway, it just felt wrong."
As the housekeeper spoke, his eyes kept looking upstairs, his voice was low and he sounded very guilty.
Huo Zhen walked around the corridor for a few times with his phone in his hand, and suddenly realized something and burst into laughter.
"It's okay, it's okay. He'll figure it out himself. Don't worry about him. Just let him calm down."
Huo Zhen's eyes were still full of smiles as he spoke, thinking that he would actually be able to see a look of sadness on the face of his eldest grandson who never smiled in his lifetime. Huo Zhen really couldn't wait to see his grandson, who was so incompetent that he couldn't even fart, trapped by love.
"Master, I think the eldest young master's condition seems to be very bad. Will it be bad if we don't care?"
The butler was a little worried, as he could be said to have watched Huo Beiting grow up.
He had never seen Huo Beiting so sad. In his impression, he had always been high-spirited and looked down upon the world. He had never seen him so lonely.
"It's okay. We can't do anything about it even if we want to. Just wait for him to come out on his own. That's enough. Don't worry about it."
After Huo Zhen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and walked into the conference room to continue the meeting.
However, because of the housekeeper's phone call just now, Huo Zhen was obviously a little absent-minded and kept thinking about Huo Beiting.
It wasn't that he was worried like the housekeeper, but he simply wanted to go over and see what was going on. Therefore, this meeting, which was supposed to last an hour, was compressed into just half an hour by Huo Zhen.
After the meeting, Huo Zhen did not continue working, but took the documents home.
As soon as I got home, the housekeeper came over hurriedly.
"Master, I just wanted to go upstairs and give the young master a cup of coffee. I also wanted to check on him, but I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response. Master, I'm a little worried."
The housekeeper held the coffee in his hand and kept looking upstairs, his lips tightly pursed and his fingers tightly gripping the tray.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go over and take a look."
Huo Zhen took the coffee from the butler, put his crutches aside, and walked upstairs slowly. During this time, the butler wanted to take the tray from Huo Zhen, but was rejected by Huo Zhen.
"I can do it myself. Please don't treat me like an old man, okay?"
The housekeeper thought to himself, you are almost ninety years old this year, how can you not be careful?
However, the butler only repeated these words in his mind and did not show it on his face.
Huo Zhen walked to Huo Beiting's room, picked up the coffee, handed the tray to the housekeeper, and then knocked on Huo Beiting's door.
"Beiting, it's me, Grandpa. Open the door."
After Huo Zhen finished speaking, he waited at the door for a while, but there was still no movement inside.
A smile slowly formed in Huo Zhen's eyes. He continued to knock on the door and repeated what he had just said.
"Beiting, grandpa has brought you coffee. Grandpa is so old, do you have the heart to let me wait for you at the door?"
The housekeeper curled his lips as he listened, thinking that this was not what you just said.
"You can give your coffee to the butler."
Huo Beiting's voice was as steady as usual, as if nothing had happened.
But the housekeeper and Huo Zhen, who had been working with Huo Beiting on this for so many years, noticed something was wrong. They looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
Although Huo Beiting sounded as if nothing was wrong, under normal circumstances, Huo Zhen would have opened the door and let him in without him having to say the latter sentence, instead of asking him to hand the coffee to the butler.
"Beiting, Grandpa has been busy at the company all day. He brought you a cup of coffee as soon as he got back. Can you bear to let me wait outside?"
Huo Zhen continued talking, playing the emotional card with Huo Beiting, and in the end Huo Beiting was really talked out of it by him.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Huo Zhen brought in coffee and put it on the table. Just as he was about to say something, Huo Beiting interrupted him.
"Grandpa, the coffee has been delivered. I'm a little tired now and want to rest. Didn't you just say you were tired? You should go and rest too."
Huo Beiting immediately ordered them to leave, and Huo Zhen felt something was wrong. Huo Beiting must have experienced something, otherwise he would not speak like this to his grandfather who raised him.
For the first time, Huo Zhen was shameless enough to ignore what Huo Beiting said and sat directly on Huo Beiting's bed, looking at him with a grin.
