Chapter 518 Adopted is always inferior to biological
That night, Mu Qian was busy at Tongcheng Art Museum.
The next day is the official opening of the art exhibition, so tonight it must be confirmed that all arrangements are perfect, and almost all the staff are here, and they are busy until late at night to finish their work day.
Everyone was busy all day today, so Mu Qian took the initiative to invite guests to have a midnight snack.
All the staff cheered together, but Mu Qian only handed over the funds for the treat to one of the persons in charge.
"Will Mrs. Huo go with us?" a staff member asked.
"No." Mu Qian said, "I want to stay and see it again, you guys go."
Everyone knew that this exhibition was of great significance to Mu Qian, so everyone didn't say much, and soon left in groups of three or three, leaving Mu Qian alone in the exhibition hall.
After the surroundings became quiet, Mu Qian turned on the music.
Listening to the gentle and classical music, she walked around the art gallery and finally stopped in front of Mu Huaian's peony picture.
The peony in the prosperous era is the love in Mu Huaian's heart, and it is also the past that Mu Qian cannot forget.
She will eventually piece together the little things lost in the past years.
Even Mu Huaian and Rong Qingzi can no longer experience it personally.
But Mu Qian knew that they would see it.
She stood quietly in front of the painting, until the empty exhibition hall behind her, and suddenly there was a steady and slow footsteps.
Mu Qian was still standing still and did not look back.
The visitor walked directly behind her, reached out his hand, and slowly took her into his arms.
Mu Qian relaxed very naturally and leaned back, and then he pressed on his familiar and solid chest.
Mu Qian couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Are you finished your business?"
"Yes." Huo Jinxi responded and followed her previous gaze to the painting in front of her.
"Do you know?" Mu Qian said, "In the past, my father used to draw a painting, ranging from a few days or more, and he worked hard, but each painting could only be sold for a few hundred yuan at a low price... He also had to support his mother and me. He was really hard..."
Huo Jinxi listened quietly without expressing his opinion.
"Luckily," Mu Qian said, "Now everything is getting better. I will help him get what his father lost and what he didn't get when he was alive."
Huo Jinxi said lightly: "Of course."
Hearing these two words, Mu Qian finally turned around, looked at him, laughed out loud again, then leaned forward and kissed him gently.
...
That night, Mu Qian slept well, but got up early the next day, dressed up and prepared to attend the opening ceremony of the painting exhibition.
Huo Jinxi is now an "idle" on the surface. When encountering such an event, he is willing to take time to accompany Mu Qian to participate.
When the two of them were holding hands down the stairs, Mr. Huo was already sitting next to the dining table.
"Grandpa, good morning." Mu Qian asked Mr. Huo sweetly.
Mr. Huo just glanced at the two of them and said, "You guys are pretty early today."
"I feel so excited when people are happy." Mu Qian said, "Am I beautiful today?"
Mr. Huo did not answer her, but just looked at Huo Jinxi, "What's going on in Lu and Jiang?"
When Mu Qian heard this question, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huo Jinxi and said, "Don't look at grandpa who doesn't leave the house, it's very fast to receive the news..."
After all, what happened just midnight yesterday, Mr. Huo already knew about it early this morning, which shows that the news was received in time.
Huo Jinxi's expression was calm and replied: "A person who is not a regular person who has done something illegal and disorderly and is caught on the spot will have to pay the corresponding price. Is this the matter? "
"Stop going around with me!" Mr. Huo's face was deep, "I got the news that he was arrested when he was trying to kill someone. Who is the person he almost killed?"
Hearing this question, Mu Qian blinked her eyes and turned to look at Huo Jinxi again.
Huo Jinxi obviously fully understood the meaning of Mr. Huo asking this question early in the morning.
Although Mr. Huo has withdrawn from the Huo management over the years and has lived in simplicity, the connections and experience accumulated over the years of hard work will not disappear. He is as tense as that day as smart as Mr. Huo, how could he not notice it?
Mr. Huo saw Lu Ran's innocence and enthusiasm, Lu and Jiang's gloomy anger, and knew the reason for it.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Huo could guess who the person Lu and Jiang were going to deal with was.
Besides Huo Jinbei, which one else?
He had already noticed this on the same day, and had hinted at Lu Yuchuan, and also reminded Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinbei. Unexpectedly, he still heard such news today!
Mr. Huo knew very well that with Huo Jinxi's character, if he was prepared for it, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen, then there are two possibilities for this incident-
First, Huo Jinxi didn't care about what happened that day.
And this possibility is slim.
The second is that Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian are willing to use Huo Jinbei to lead Lu and Jiang into the game!
Over the years, Mr. Huo has never been concerned about Huo Jinxi's actions and is also doting and indulging Mu Qian. However, if Huo Jinbei is really involved in this incident, Mr. Huo will definitely not be able to sit idly by.
Mu Qian looked up and met Mr. Huo's gaze, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Grandpa, I don't know anything when I look at what I do."
"You don't know what your husband does?"
As soon as he heard this, Mu Qian knew that Mr. Huo was going to hold her accountable with Huo Jinxi. Judging from his attitude, this matter was not so easy to pass.
Mu Qian put down the chopsticks for a moment and did not move again.
Just as Mr. Huo was waiting for Huo Jinxi's answer with a heavy face, the door outside sounded, and then the aunt's voice came: "Have Jin Bei been here? I'm sending medicine to the old man again?"
"Auntie, good morning." Huo Jinbei's calm and quiet voice came immediately.
Mr. Huo's face couldn't help but condense slightly.
After a while, Huo Jinbei slowly walked into the restaurant and immediately noticed the somewhat stagnant atmosphere on the dining table.
No one spoke, and even Mu Qian, who kept talking, just sat quietly, with his head slightly drooping, as if he had been hit by something.
"Grandpa." Huo Jinbei quickly withdrew his gaze and called out to the old man.
The old man came to his senses and stared at him up and down, "You... are you okay?"
Mr. Huo asked this question without thinking, but Huo Jinbei seemed to understand what he was asking and replied: "It's okay."
"That last night--" Mr. Huo couldn't help but look at Huo Jinxi again.
Huo Jinxi then spoke: "It's just a game."
Bad is needed to make a game, but this bait can also be true or false.
It consumes enough manpower, material resources and financial resources. Even if the bait is fake, you can still use the trick of asking you to get into the trap to the extreme.
This was the consensus reached by Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinbei that night.
Using Huo Jinbei as bait is to follow the situation and follow the plan;
The replacement of Huo Jinbei with a speed stunt actor with comprehensive protection is to make the entire plan foolproof.
Huo Jinbei returned home safely after the pursuit convoy was led away.
He has always been deserted and does not take such a thing seriously. Since Huo Jinxi plans everything, he should live whatever he should do. On the second day of the incident, he could come to deliver medicine to Mr. Huo as if nothing had happened early in the morning.
Mr. Huo immediately covered his lips and coughed.
Huo Jinxi is fine. He never talks much, his mind is mature and stable, and he will never feel irresistible because of such a thing.
But Mu Qian, who had always been chattering, still hung his head and said nothing.
"Qianqian." Mr. Huo couldn't help but call her.
Mu Qian's eyes were empty as if she hadn't heard it.
Mr. Huo has always been in no dignity in front of her, so he quickly lowered his head, "It's because grandpa is not good. Grandpa shouldn't blame you without understanding the situation. Don't be angry, okay?"
"Oh..." Mu Qian sighed quietly when she heard this, and said, "What qualifications do I have to be angry? Although I have called you grandpa since I was a child, I am an adopted person, of course it is not as important as your grandson, I understand."
Mr. Huo was speechless by her words, and just looked at Huo Jinxi.
But before Huo Jinxi spoke, Mu Qian said to him again: "Hey, you are also the grandson of grandfather, and the grandson he raised, but he still can't compare to Brother Xiaobei... Ah, I always thought that the person my grandfather loved the most was you, so it turned out not! Look at you, a family-raising eldest grandson is not as good as Brother Xiaobei, but we both really don't care about..."
Mr. Huo: “…”
Huo Jinbei sat down next to Mr. Huo, silently lowered his head to eat, just pretending that he could not hear Mu Qian's words.
Mr. Huo asked for help from both sides and there was no help, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pressed his forehead.
"Forget it, maybe I'm born not liked. Fortunately, I've been used to this kind of life since I was a child. If I don't like it, I won't like it. I'll just love myself." Mu Qian said, standing up, "I won't eat it anymore, you can use it slowly."
"..." Mr. Huo finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay, tell me, what do you want grandpa to do."
Mu Qian turned her back to the dining table, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't, what do I dare to ask you to do? I'm not afraid that your beloved grandson will cause trouble for me!"
Mr. Huo pressed his forehead again, "Is it my grandfather's voluntary? Grandpa really wants to do something for you, as long as you don't get angry anymore, okay?"
"This is what you said!" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows suddenly, and only Le could make a sound. He turned around and took the paper and pen, buried his head and wrote down a series of names, and threw the paper to Mr. Huo. "These people! I want them all to attend today's opening ceremony of the painting exhibition! All!"
Mr. Huo looked at the name on the paper and his temples leaped, "You want grandpa to use up this old face at once--"
"Ah, is there any difficulties? Then forget it." Mu Qian said, and then reached out to take back the paper, "I don't like to force people to do it!"
Mr. Huo suddenly shrank his hand and still held the paper in his hand. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Mu Qian, gritting his teeth hatefully and said, "You bad girl, I'm just your way--"
"Oh, don't talk nonsense. I am a little girl who lives under someone else's roof. I always look at people's faces, and I'm scared and cautious..." Mu Qian said, and almost couldn't help laughing.
