After the two added each other on WeChat, the car fell silent again, but this silence was only superficial.
In reality, Huo Jinning's heart was in turmoil at this moment.
[Wow, I actually managed to add Fu Qinian on WeChat!]
[Haha, he actually mistook me for a brilliant strategist!]
Looking back, I guess I could be considered his savior after what happened last time!
[If the Huo family encounters any difficult problems in the future, he should be able to help!]
[Anyway, you should definitely befriend him.]
[No matter what, I absolutely have to hold onto this strong leg tightly!]
......
When Huo Chengyu first saw Fu Qinian, he knew that this man was no ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, even Ningning, who could always foresee the future, believed that even if the Huo family encountered difficulties, he would be able to resolve them.
Based on this reasoning, this person's background must be extraordinary.
However, judging from his surname alone, could he possibly come from the legendary hermit family—the Fu family? Huo Chengyu wondered to himself.
"Thank you both for your help today," Fu Qin said softly, as he sat upright in his wheelchair.
"No trouble at all. It's not convenient for you to be alone like this, let me walk you in!" Huo Jinning said.
[Don't miss the opportunity to build favor.]
[Now that he's injured, I'm offering him help.]
[hey-hey. ]
In fact, Huo Jinning's thoughts were very simple and easy to understand, and all her emotions were displayed on her delicate face without reservation.
Fu Qinian remained calm and composed, showing no emotion. At the same time, he hoped to gain more valuable information through further contact with Huo Jinning.
At this moment, Huo Chengyu spoke up, "Ningning, why don't you let me go instead?"
He knew perfectly well that the man in front of him was someone his sister wanted to befriend for the sake of the Huo family.
Therefore, he was determined not to cause trouble for his sister and did his best to help her.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the car."
Huo Jinning gazed at the hotel not far ahead, which soared into the clouds, its glass curtain wall gleaming in the sunlight, reflecting the city's prosperity and vitality.
There is also a meticulously designed garden and landscape at the entrance, with shady trees and blooming flowers, adding a touch of tranquility and beauty to the hotel.
Huo Jinning also realized that personally escorting Fu Qinian would bring many inconveniences, so she readily agreed to her brother's suggestion.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Huo. Goodbye, Miss Huo,” Fu Qin said softly, his tone polite.
It should be noted that with Fu Qinian's prominent status and position, even without an escort, he could easily go to the hotel by himself.
After all, this luxurious five-star hotel is one of the properties under the Fu family's umbrella.
But this time the situation was a bit special. At first, he thought that Huo Jinning had offered to give him a ride, which is why he agreed without hesitation.
For Fu Qinian, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to spend more time with Huo Jinning and perhaps even gain a deeper understanding of things.
Even now, he still finds it very puzzling why Huo Jinning knew so much about the inside story beforehand.
In fact, Fu Qinian's trip to Beijing this time was not for work purposes, but for another purpose—to get closer to Huo Jinning.
Today's encounter was purely accidental. He was originally going to visit an old friend of the Fu family, but his car suddenly broke down on the way back.
"Mr. Fu, we always address each other as 'Mr.' which is a bit too formal. Why don't you call me Xiao Yu or Huo Chengyu?" Huo Chengyu suggested, pushing Fu Qinian's wheelchair.
"Alright. Then I'll call you Xiao Yu, and you can call me Brother Fu. After all, I'm a few years older than you," Fu Qinian replied kindly.
"Yes, yes, Brother Fu." Huo Chengyu replied happily.
The two had just stepped into the hotel lobby when they bumped into the hotel manager.
Afterwards, Fu Qinian was escorted upstairs by the manager, while Huo Chengyu returned.
"Third Brother, how come it's so fast?" Huo Jinning asked in confusion.
"I happened to run into the hotel manager when I went in. I suppose they are acquaintances, so I came back first," Huo Chengyu replied while fastening his seatbelt.
“This hotel must belong to the Fu family,” Huo Chengyu said. “The manager was very polite to Brother Fu.”
"Brother Fu?" Huo Jinning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked curiously, "When did you change how you address each other?"
The focus wasn't on the fact that the hotel belonged to the Fu family at all.
Huo Chengyu scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Just now, I felt that calling him 'Mr.' or something was too formal, so I suggested to Brother Fu that he just call me Xiao Yu or Chengyu. I didn't expect Brother Fu to agree so readily, and then he even told me to call him Brother Fu. That's all!"
"Oh, I see..." Huo Jinning nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she understood the reason.
After a moment of silence, she continued, "That's nice. This affectionate way of addressing each other makes it feel like the distance between us has been shortened a lot."
At this point, Huo Jinning couldn't help but smile, her mind starting to wander to the plot of the original book.
If my sister really marries her cousin in the future, then we'll become relatives!
[This can be considered as establishing a good relationship in advance.]
[Fu Qinian looks cold and aloof, but he's actually quite approachable.]
When the brother and sister entered the house, they happened to find that the family was preparing to eat.
"Ningning, you're back! Go wash your hands first, it's time to eat," Zhao Qiuying said softly with a smile.
"Okay, Mom!" Huo Jinning replied and headed straight for the bathroom.
Actually, Huo Jinning had just finished eating barbecue and wasn't hungry at all, but with such delicious food in front of her, she had to have a couple of bites.
At this moment, Huo Chengyu spoke up: "Mom, why didn't you see me?"
Zhao Qiuying turned to look at her son and replied with a smile, "Hey, you're not hungry, are you? If you were really hungry, wouldn't you come and eat by yourself?"
Seeing this, Huo Chengyu deliberately put on a pitiful look and muttered, "Mom, now that you have a little sister, you don't love your son anymore."
"Stop fooling around, go wash your hands and then come eat!" Huo Shan said from the side.
"Yes, Father!" Huo Chengyu gave a playful salute, then rushed to the bathroom.
Huo Chengyu wasn't hungry, but he liked the atmosphere of the family eating together, so he sat down at the table.
After the family was all seated, Huo Jinning greeted everyone with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I'm here!"
"Okay, let's start eating then!" Huo Shan nodded simply, indicating that it was time to eat.
