After returning from Haicheng in the early morning, he returned home and made a little rectification and returned to the company. He had to work hard all day in his spare time. He calculated the time and had not been able to close his eyes for two days and one night.

But in this situation, he suddenly woke up after falling asleep for half an hour.

He had no dreams and no abnormalities in his body, but he just woke up.

After a moment of silence, Huo Jinxi stood up and put on his clothes to go downstairs.

Unexpectedly, the lights were still on in the living room, and Lin Shu was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Shu turned around and saw him, and couldn't help but frown, "Why did you get up just after sleeping?"

"I can't sleep, have a glass of wine." Huo Jinxi walked to the wine cabinet and poured wine for herself, then asked her, "Why are you not sleeping?"

Lin Shu sighed, "I'm old and don't have that many sleep. If I can't sleep, I'll get up and watch TV."

Huo Jinxi walked to the sofa with a glass of wine and sat down. While drinking, he watched the noisy family drama on TV.

Lin Shu looked at him, "Is it useful to drink when you can't sleep?"

"A little bit." Huo Jinxi replied.

After a moment of quietness, Lin Shucai said again: "You, you just put too much pressure on yourself. How can you do so many things yourself? Can't the people below do anything?"

Huo Jinxi touched the bottom of the cup without answering.

"Look at how many days you went to Haicheng before, isn't the company good? Don't take everything on your shoulders. The Huo family is no longer the Huo family before. Although I don't understand the company's affairs very well, the Huo family's foundation is so solid that it can't be easily shaken. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?" Lin Shu paused before speaking again, "You, it's time to come out of the shadow of the past."

Huo Jinxi finished a glass of wine and put down his glass.

"Give up some things about the company and take time to relax." Lin Shu said, "I can live a normal life, spend more time with Qi Ran, or... go and have a relationship."

Lin Shu paused for a moment before she said those last words reluctantly.

Huo Jinxi glanced at her, "What's wrong with you?"

"Because I know that if you are in love, you will definitely choose the person I don't like." Lin Shu said, "But if you really like it, who can do what you can do to you?"

After a while, Huo Jinxi spoke softly: "It's nothing."

"Stop coming!" Lin Shu looked at him, "I have watched you grow up since I was a child. You have become more thoughtful and have become more serious in the past few years. I don't know you so much, but some things can still be seen. Over the years, which woman can enter the house like her and be free to go in and out?"

Huo Jinxi listened quietly, without saying a word.

Lin Shu looked at the TV again and said slowly: "Actually, sometimes I think she was good when she was here. At least after she came back... you look like a normal person than before."

After saying this, neither of them spoke again.

Huo Jinxi sat quietly on the sofa and watched a TV series with her. Then she got up and returned to the bedroom.

Lying back on the bed, the room was as quiet as usual.

But there was no one who would come out of his bed, and the warm and soft fragrance accompanied him to sleep.

...

Mu Qian, who visited the Su family, was very well-behaved. Old Mrs. Cen not only prepared gifts for her, but also personally assigned her driver to deliver them to her.

When he arrived at the Su family, Mu Qian only saw the hostess Mrs. Su, but when Mrs. Su saw her, she frowned, "You are..."

"Mrs. Su, I am Mu Qian, and Rong Qingzi is my mother." Mu Qian said with a smile.

Mrs. Su seemed to be stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized it, and then she laughed, "Oh, it turns out that you are Mu Qian, it's different from the photos I've seen--"

"What photo?" Mu Qian asked.

"It's nothing, come, come in first." Mrs. Su took her hand affectionately and let her enter the door. When she was instructed by the people outside, "Go and invite the Third Young Master over!"

Mu Qian knew clearly why Mrs. Su was very enthusiastic about her, but she just smiled.

After entering the house and serving tea, Mu Qian said: "I know my mother has troubled your family this time, so I am here to express my gratitude."

"What kind of polite words are you saying?" said Mrs. Su. "Everyone is Chinese, so of course you have to watch and help each other. Besides, such a thing is just a matter of raising hands."

"It's a small hand for you, but it's a great kindness for my mother," Mu Qian said, "so I'm really grateful."

Mrs. Su looked at her and smiled with relief, "What a polite child!"

After speaking, a voice came from the entrance of the hall. Mu Qian turned her head and saw Su Mubai in a wheelchair.

After not seeing him for several years, Su Mubai still looked like he used to be, with calm eyebrows and clean and thin. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he could tell that he was originally very tall.

But when he saw Mu Qian, he was stunned, "Qianqian?"

"Senior Brother Su." Mu Qian called him, "Long time no see."

Su Mubai was a senior she met after coming to the United States to enter university. She often met at gatherings in Chinese circles. However, not long after, Su Mubai suffered a sudden disaster and was not doing well due to a car accident. From then on, she lived in simplicity and gradually broke off contact.

"Why are you here?" Su Mubai looked really surprised and couldn't help looking at Mrs. Su for confirmation.

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Don't you know each other? Since you are friends, what's wrong with the sitting at home? Mu Bai, you chat with Mu Qian, I'll go bake some snacks for you as afternoon tea."

Mrs. Su stood up and left, leaving the world of the two to Mu Qian and Su Mubai.

However, after she left, there was a long silence between the two.

Until Mu Qian couldn't help laughing out loud, "Why don't you speak? Don't you welcome me?"

"No." Su Mubai's originally drooping gaze then raised, fell on Mu Qian's face, and slowly spoke, "We have been missing for three years, right? You are different from before."

Mu Qian smiled, "Who told you not to come out to meet? If you see me often, you wouldn't think there has been any changes in me."

Su Mubai smiled quietly, and then said, "Why are you here?"

"You should know about my mother's business, right?" Mu Qian asked.

After hearing this, Su Mubai nodded calmly, "I know."

Mu Qian suddenly leaned closer to him, "Do you know what was going on when she was rescued? What did those people do to her?"

Su Mubai quickly understood the meaning of her question and spoke: "As far as I know, she was just beaten for a while and was not humiliated, don't worry."

After hearing this, Mu Qian nodded, but was really relieved.

"How come you ask my family for this kind of question?" Su Mubai said, "Shouldn't you ask your mother?"
