Chapter 185
If it were the past, Ye Xi would never have thought that one day she would sit with Huo Jinxi and talk about the past about Mu Qian.
Obviously, the last time, when Huo Jinxi tried to know Mu Qian's past from her, she was still cold and turned around and left without hesitation. But today, when she saw Huo Jinxi's figure in front of Xiaoxiao's grave, she felt a little shaken in her heart.
It was this slight wave that made her sit here.
Before this, Huo Jinxi was in her heart a scumbag who came from the so-called "rich family". She thought she was arrogant, but in fact she was a bastard, despicable means, and deceived her feelings.
But today, the Huo Jinxi she saw seemed to have a little bit of sincerity.
Ye Xi was not sure how valuable she was in such a true heart, but what if Mu Qian was destined to be entangled with this man?
She was full of entanglement and hesitation. In the end, the grievances and reluctance she had witnessed all the way to exploded out at once.
"After you drove her out of the Huo family, she came to Philadelphia. I thought that if she left the Huo family, she could at least return to her mother. This was also a kind of comfort. But after I came to see her after the college entrance examination, I found that she was so thin that she was almost out of shape. Her mother didn't love her, and she was still thinking about the Huo family, and she was thinking about you. She was in pain and couldn't eat and sleep. She couldn't live a normal life at all."
"It was not until she accidentally found out that she was pregnant that she woke up and cheered up little by little. She wanted a child because this child was her only relative in the world and she couldn't give up on her. So she moved out of the Cen family and lived outside. No one cared about her, whether it was her mother or the Cen family, no one had seen her since she moved out, so they didn't know whether she was pregnant or gave birth to a child."
"After Xiaoxiao was born... she had hope and sustenance and responsibility. So she worked hard to study, hoping to complete her studies as soon as possible, find a good job, and support herself and Xiaoxiao. She has always been very smart and has good academic performance. She took two and a half years to complete the four-year course, but not long after that, Xiaoxiao left."
"I don't know how she carried it over. She didn't even cry when Xiaoxiao left. After that, she was also very calm. But how could this pain be so easy to relieve peace? I know she was hiding it in her heart, she didn't say it, but I know that she felt sorry for the child... but I didn't dare to say it either, I was afraid that she would collapse once she said it."
"Later, she lived like a normal person, but the profession she chose was an investigative reporter. She investigated cases where she had to be desperate and desperate. She didn't care about her life at all, but I couldn't persuade her. Only those who had no hope in life would be so desperate, and I couldn't do anything about it..."
"If possible, I hope she will never have any contact with you in this life, but after she comes back to Tongcheng, there will be at least one grandpa and one more person she cares about. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, because grandpa will leave her one day, and by that time, she will still have nothing! Lose and possess, gain and lose, and torture over and over again! And all of this is caused by you!"
From beginning to end, Huo Jinxi didn't say a word.
He listened quietly to Ye Xi's narration and accusations, word by word, unable to argue.
"Do you know why she stopped painting?" Ye Xi said at the end, "Because after she arrived in Philadelphia, she always picked up her brush and painted you! But what you brought him was only endless pain! So, she never painted again."
...
While Huo Jinxi and Ye Xi were talking in the cafe, Qi Yuan waited outside.
He didn't have to guess that the content of the chat between the two must be related to Mu Qian. When he thought of this, he felt a little anxious.
However, not long after, Huo Jinxi walked out of the cafe.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door for him.
Huo Jinxi bent down and sat into the car, slowly closing his eyes.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but look at him more.
Huo Jinxi's face, which had been calm and composed for a long time, actually showed an unconcealed fatigue for the first time.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel stunned for a moment, until the driver reminded him that he hurriedly got into the car, worried along the way.
...
Tongcheng.
Mu Qian woke up in the afternoon.
She slept drowsyly and calculated the time. From last night to now, she had slept for more than ten hours.
Mu Qian sat on the bed and woke up for a while, then took the cell phone at the head of the bed. Seeing that Ye Xi had called her a few hours ago, Mu Qian quickly called back.
"Qianqian." Ye Xi said, "Huo Jinxi has come to Philadelphia."
After hearing this, Mu Qian just chuckled, "Is that true?"
"Guess where I saw him?" Ye Xi said.
Mu Qian asked casually while getting out of bed: "Where?"
"Cemetery." Ye Xi said, "Xiaoxiao's Cemetery."
Mu Qian's phone was still stuck in her ears. After a long time, she responded softly: "Oh."
...
When Mu Qian packed up and went downstairs, Huo Qiran had already finished school and was fiddling with his tablet computer accompanied by Mr. Huo.
As soon as he saw her, Mr. Huo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You are sure to be awake."
Huo Qiran looked up at her, and a smile appeared naturally on her face.
Mu Qian reached out and twisted his face, "What's the matter?"
"His homework," said Mr. Huo, "It's a computer and a question I can't understand. I can't tutor him."
Huo Qiran immediately put the tablet in Mu Qian's hand.
Seeing this, Mr. Huo laughed and said to Huo Qiran: "You have made a profit. Your aunt Qianqian was a top student when she was in school and had excellent grades. Of course, we Qiran is also very smart, and we will definitely not be worse than your father and aunt Qianqian in the future."
After hearing this, Mu Qian looked at Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo's eyes were falling on Huo Qiran. After saying that praise, the old man still showed a hint of regret in his eyes. When he looked at Mu Qian again, the old man quickly put away the regret and returned to his peaceful smile.
At night, the first snowfall of this winter fell in Tongcheng.
Mu Qian found that it was snowing when she was about to pull up the curtains and leave after she was waiting for Huo Qiran to fall asleep.
The first snowfall is rare so dense, and tomorrow will be a world covered in silver.
Mu Qian stood by the window and looked for a while before pulling up the curtains and turning off the lights and leaving.
She gently brought the door to the room and was about to turn back to her room, but a familiar footstep suddenly came from behind her.
