Sophia's expression was very complicated. She sat on the bedside chair with a tired look, leaning against the headboard and closing her eyes.
At this moment, Sophia was more afraid than anyone else that if the truth came to light, all her efforts would be in vain.
At the same time, there was a rapid knock on Huo Zhen's door.
"Grandpa, are you in the room?"
That was Yan Qing's voice. Huo Zhen heard her talking, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm here, come in."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing pushed the door open and saw Mr. Huo sitting by the window drinking tea.
Seeing the backbone of the family, it was as if Father Yan was right beside her, and the tension in her heart inexplicably dissipated a little.
Yan Qing walked quickly towards Huo Zhen. Then, she placed her phone on the table in front of him and said with a slightly worried tone, "Grandpa, Assistant Song sent me a message saying that a woman who looked very similar to Ruan Mowei appeared at the airport yesterday. The flight she took happened to be to Country M."
Huo Zhen hummed, took over Yan Qing's words, and continued: "So, do you think Ruan Mowei is here?"
Yan Qing nodded.
He didn't continue talking, but raised his hand to pour her a cup of tea and motioned her to sit opposite him.
"Grandpa, what should I do next?"
Seeing that he was still drinking tea leisurely, Yan Qing felt a little angry for a moment, but she suppressed her tone and tried to be as casual and calm as usual.
"Qingqing, you are the same as Beiting, and you are also the president of a prestigious company. Don't panic over such a small matter."
Huo Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip. His sharp eyes did not look like those of a weathered old man at all. He was full of energy and had a very strong aura.
Yan Qing smiled bitterly, knowing that her knowledge and methods were not as good as Huo Zhen's. And now she was pregnant with the great-grandson of the Huo family, so Huo Zhen couldn't just ignore her...
Thinking of this, Yan Qing forced himself to calm down and listen to what the other party had to say.
"If Ruan Mowei wants to come, just let her come. I don't believe she can do anything to you in broad daylight. Besides, the Huo family manor has more than one or two bodyguards. Can't they stop a woman like her?"
Yan Qing frowned slightly as she listened to him.
She pursed her slightly pale lips all the time and listened quietly to the other person finish speaking.
Huo Zhen knew that Yan Qing must have other thoughts in his mind. His eyes fixed on Yan Qing's face.
My granddaughter-in-law is capable, but she is pregnant now, so it is normal for her thoughts to be confused for a while.
Yan Qing noticed it as soon as Huo Zhen's eyes swept over.
She thought it was her silence that made the other person angry, so she quickly forced a relieved smile to make him think that she was no longer worried.
"Grandpa, I'm naturally relieved to have you here, but I'm also afraid that vicious woman Ruan Mowei has already contacted others... What if her target isn't just me, or even the Yan or Huo families? What should I do?"
The more Yan Qing spoke, the lower her voice became. Her eyes remained fixed on Huo Zhen. She could see the expression on the old man's face gradually turning colder.
Now it seems that he is really angry.
Huo Zhen was old after all, and Yan Qing was afraid that he would be angry about Ruan Mowei's behavior, so she quickly came forward and put her hands on his arms to comfort him.
"Don't be so angry yet. Beiting will be back soon. Let's hear what he has to say, okay?"
Huo Zhen didn't have the heart to think about anything else at the moment. He just wanted to quickly resolve the matter of Ruan Mowei so that he could take his granddaughter-in-law back to China to take good care of the pregnancy and give him a plump and healthy great-grandson.
Although he was very angry with Ruan Mowei, his attitudes towards that vicious woman and Yan Qing were completely different.
"Qingqing, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely protect you. If nothing else, just because your father entrusted you to our Huo family, Grandpa will not let anything happen to you."
With his words, Yan Qing felt completely relieved.
A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, her eyes and eyebrows were gentle, and there was no trace of the angry and frustrated look just now.
"What are you two talking about? You sound so happy."
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
Huo Beiting's voice suddenly broke into the warm and touching atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson. Yan Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huo Beiting who had just returned from the branch office.
At that time, the man was wearing a well-ironed suit and his tie was straightened on his chest.
Yan Qing recognized that the tie was the gift he had given him before.
Although the tie is not very valuable, men treasure it very much. This time when the two of them came to Country M for their honeymoon, he even carefully put his precious tie in the suitcase.
Yan Qing complained to him several times and wanted him to wear a new one, but Huo Beiting refused.
"We didn't say anything. Don't act like I told grandpa a lot of secrets. If someone doesn't know, they might think I'm saying bad things about you."
Yan Qing sat next to Huo Zhen with a calm expression, teasing Huo Beiting.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud to smooth things over between the two of them.
Huo Zhen said seriously, "Beiting, please don't falsely accuse Qingqing. She's already praising you to me, so why would she say anything bad about you, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Yan Qing quickly nodded in agreement.
After Huo Zhen finished speaking, as if worried that Huo Beiting wouldn't believe him, he continued to explain Yan Qing, making things worse: "I really didn't say anything bad about you."
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren laughed and joked for a long time. Although Yan Qing mostly pulled Huo Zhen and complained that Huo Beiting didn't accompany her, anyone who was paying attention could hear that she was just being unwell during her pregnancy and was just acting coquettishly.
Huo Beiting, who was accused of not accompanying his wife, had no way to express his grievances. He was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, or even more like a scholar meeting a soldier.
But to be honest, he didn't have the slightest intention of explaining. He just indulged and looked at Yan Qing with a doting smile.
"By the way, has Yuanlu called you in the past two days?"
Yan Qing seemed to be very concerned about the relationship between her brother-in-law and Song Xuening. Even at this time, she did not forget to find out some news and information for Song Xuening from her future husband's family.
Huo Beiting answered honestly, "Things seem to be progressing very quickly. That brat Yuan Lu told me that he's already prepared to propose to Xue Ning. As long as Song Xue Ning agrees, he'll find us a sister-in-law right away."
"That's incredibly fast..."
Yan Qing curled her lips, feeling a little envious of Song Xuening's natural relationship.
Don't mention it, my brother-in-law is quite good at chasing people...
