The old man in the video looked in high spirits, and he laughed as soon as the call was connected, "I came to you specifically today because I have some good news to tell you."
Huo Huaijin turned around and sat down, showing no emotion.
"What?"
"Don't you always want to marry that girl from the Duan family?" The old man said, "I know you very well." "Just now there is an opportunity, so you don't have to marry her."
Huo Huaijin's originally calm face finally had some ripples, and joy flashed across his eyes.
He couldn't believe that he got out of the engagement so easily?
"……real?"
"Of course. When did grandpa lie to you?"
Huo Huaijin looked squarely at the sixty-year-old man for the first time, his face showing gentleness that he had never seen before, because his marriage no longer required him to be a victim of his family.
"If that's the case, then thank you grandpa."
"What are you doing with grandpa outside like this?"
The smile on the old man's face became even brighter, and then he said: "I helped you choose another more suitable partner. I think you are a good match for her and you will definitely be happy!"
Huo Huaijin's smile did not last for two seconds and disappeared instantly when he heard these words.
There was some disbelief in his eyes, and his smile gradually turned sarcastic.
So it's not like getting rid of family marriage.
Just jumped from one cage into another cage.
"This is the main purpose of today's phone call!"
The old man smiled and said, "No, the main purpose is of course because grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to see you."
"When will you come back to see me?"
Huo Huaijin's lips curled up with a trace of sarcasm, feeling that everything was extremely ridiculous, "I still have something to do, hang up, grandpa."
When the last two names came out of his mouth, he felt as if he was a doll that could be controlled by others.
Not long after hanging up the phone, there was a burst of noise at the door. Li Yu tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and stopped people, "Miss Duan, it's not convenient for Mr. Huo right now. You'd better come back later!"
"What's so inconvenient?!"
Duan Liya became angry at the moment, "Does he think he can finally get rid of me?"
She just heard the news from home that the old man of the Huo family was actually planning to cancel their engagement!
The old man has spoken, and as long as Huo Huaijin agrees, the matter will almost become a foregone conclusion.
So what should she do?!
They are already engaged!
"I don't care! I have to see him today!"
Duan Liya pushed Li Yu away regardless, and even wanted to reach out to scratch him.
"Miss Duan..."
At this moment, the door of Huo Huaijin's office opened from the inside.
"do what!"
Huo Huaijin looked at Duan Liya, who had no image in front of him, and frowned even more tightly, "Do you think this is a circus? Or is the company a place where you can act casually?"
Duan Liya's face turned red and white, but she immediately got entangled with him.
"Ajin...you can't cancel your engagement with me!"
She spoke in a condescending tone, as if she should be listened to.
Huo Huaijin looked at her like this, feeling headache and upset. He stretched out his hand to pull her away, "Since you already know, I don't need to inform you again alone. We have nothing to do now. Please get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu approached Duan Liya with a wink.
"No……!"
"Ajin! You can't do this to me!"
Huo Huaijin turned his back and closed the office door, blocking out all the sounds behind him.
Duan Liya was pulled out by Li Yu, and the resentment in her heart became more and more intense. She would never allow the happiness she had gained to disappear again!
Gritting her teeth, she turned and walked towards the corner.
Didn't he find a more suitable woman for him?
So what?!
There was no way she would let another woman appear next to Ajin!
Duan Liya took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, then directly ordered: "From today on, follow Huo Huaijin every step of the way! We must find out the woman behind him!"
…
In the hospital, Lu Shiqian stayed to have dinner with the two elders, and then rushed back to the company to handle matters.
Before that, Lu Qiming asked him for Gu Nian's phone number.
"You fight or I fight?"
He looked at Lin Miao beside the hospital bed and felt a little reluctant to do anything for a moment.
"Hit me!" Lin Miao couldn't help but laugh. "Niannian and I still contact each other occasionally. She cares about you very much. She will be very happy to know that you are awake."
That child is like their own daughter, so it's no wonder Qiming is nervous when talking to her on the phone.
"Then I'll fight!"
Lu Qiming cleared his throat and played the number.
"Hello, who's there?" The voice on the other end of the phone was as clear and polite as ever.
"Niannian, it's dad."
After Lu Qiming said these words, his eyes turned red first, and the sour feeling on the tip of his nose spread to his heart, as if he heard the voice of his long-lost daughter.
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, and then felt overwhelming joy.
"dad!"
After calling her, she realized that this title was not appropriate. She hesitated and asked: "You...you are awake. How is your health?"
"fine."
Lu Qiming sighed happily.
"Just spend time on rehabilitation now, and there will be no other problems."
Gu Nian nodded and realized that he couldn't see through the phone. He made himself laugh and said, "Just wake up. You should pay more attention to rest. I...I should go and see you."
Since her father's death, the warmth she felt came from Father Lu and Aunt Lin.
They truly loved her and she regarded them as her biological parents.
Just now...
"Dad said that this will always be your home!" Lu Qiming could probably guess what this girl was thinking, "If you don't like Lu Shiqian, dad will tell that scoundrel to get out!"
Gu Nian was amused by his tone and followed him and said, "Okay."
This is the care of her elders, and she cannot refuse.
"Nian Nian, dad should apologize to you on behalf of Shi Qian." Lu Qiming sighed, and continued before she could answer: "That bastard has been the same since he was a child! He is so self-righteous! I will help dad when he is discharged from the hospital.
You beat him!"
When Gu Nian heard these words, her heart felt warm.
Apart from that, I also feel a little refreshed.
Lu Shiqian would never dare to talk back when his father scolded him like this, he deserved it!
Gu Nian has always known that Father Lu and Aunt Lin are sincerely on her side, and their kindness to her has never been false.
"Dad, thank you." She calmed down and said slowly, "But the matter between Lu Shiqian and I...can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. It's probably because our fate has ended."
"But you will always be my dad. I will visit you as soon as I return to China."
"Hey...ok."
The expression on Lu Qiming's face stiffened for a moment, and he continued following her words, "You should pay attention to your health and safety when abroad."
"Dad, you too."
The two chatted for a few more words, each having their own moods, but they didn't expose it any more.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiming put down the phone with a sad look on his face.
"What's going on?"
When Lin Miao came out of the bathroom and saw his expression, she thought something had happened to Nian Nian.
"What else?"
Lu Qiming glanced at her sideways and sighed: "I'm worried! Can Lu Shiqian, this brat, still be able to bring Nian Nian back?"
