Cheng Anning was led in by a servant and saw Huo Yan sitting with a neatly dressed old man.
If your guess is correct, this should be Master Che.
Che Chengfeng was also looking at Cheng Anning, but when he saw that face clearly, he seemed to understand something and turned around and gave Huo Yan a roll of his eyes.
It's worth ten million to look like this.
No wonder the mistress is willing to spend money and trouble!
Huo Yan lowered his head and took a sip of tea without denying it.
When someone stood in front of him, he said: "This is Che Chengfeng, the person you are looking for."
Cheng Anning was respectful and said: "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I am Cheng Anning."
Despite the initial surprise, the old man became calm now, and even looked condescending and very picky.
Cheng Anning didn't find it strange that such legendary figures had somewhat eccentric personalities.
However, the old man saw that Cheng Anning was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked calm and generous. His expression softened slightly and he said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Cheng Anning sat down with a respectful expression.
It was rare for Huo Yan to see her looking so well-behaved, so he took a second look at her.
In the eyes of the old man, this was just flirting. He immediately became unhappy and said: "Stop drinking tea, go ahead and play a few songs to cheer up the fun."
The old man pointed to a piano outside.
The piano is placed in the garden, surrounded by flowers, which is very artistic.
Cheng Anning walked over and found that the piano was often played. It had a sense of age, simplicity and solemnity.
She took a deep breath, thought for a while, then selected the song and put her hands on the keys.
The old man was studying the red wine in his hand, thinking about whether to open it and take a sip, when he suddenly heard the sound of the piano and was stunned.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the girl who was playing, his eyes in trance.
Huo Yan's reaction was much more direct. He rested his elbows on the armrests, supported his chin with his palms, tilted his head slightly, and looked relaxed, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Aning like an eagle staring at a rabbit.
The girl under the flowers has an elegant posture, her hands are flying, her hair is hanging down from her ears, and half of her profile is delicate and beautiful, like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world.
The elves are playing, and the sound is long and ethereal.
At some point, Master Che also put down the precious red wine and looked at it without blinking.
Huo Yan suddenly said: "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Master Che's eyes were complicated, "Where did you dig this treasure from?"
Huo Yan thought for a while and said, "It's a gift from God."
Che Chengfeng sneered, clearly showing his disbelief.
In fact, Huo Yan did not lie to him.
Mr. Huo asked a master to arrange his marriage to Cheng Anning, so he sent her over in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Huo Yan rarely thought of the old man who was still in the old house.
It seems... we are almost bringing the person back?
Let's give it a while.
When the song ended, Cheng Anni took back her hand and let out a soft breath.
She tried her best. This is currently her best piece of music and she has been practicing it for a long time.
If even this can't impress Master Che.
It can only mean that she is not strong enough.
Old Man Che stared at it for a while and said slowly: "What is your relationship with Qin Xiang?"
Cheng Anning opened his eyes suddenly and turned to look at Master Che, "Do you know my mother?"
"Mother? No wonder..."
Old man Che had a look of nostalgia in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. It seemed to have brought back some old memories, and he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Starting tomorrow, you will stay at my place from three to six every day."
Cheng Anning looked ecstatic and bowed immediately, "Yes! I will definitely arrive on time! Thank you, Master!"
Old Man Che stood up and seemed tired. He waved his hand and said, "You can go back today."
Huo Yan also stood up. His goal was achieved and he was not prepared to stay any longer.
Cheng Anning hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master Che, my mother..."
"Stop asking and go back."
In the end, Huo Yan took Cheng Anning away.
In the car, Huo Yan saw her face full of disappointment and said, "Old man Che has a weird temper. The more demanding he is, the harder it is to ask questions. You might as well let it go first."
Cheng Anning felt less uncomfortable after being comforted like this.
In any case, now not only has Master Che appreciated her and is willing to teach her, but she has also learned some news about her mother.
She gained a lot.
And all of this is brought about by the people next to you.
She clasped her hands and glanced at Huo Yan from time to time. The latter suddenly said, "How are you going to thank me?"
"……Thank you."
"That's it?"
She bit her lower lip lightly, "Shall I treat you to a meal?"
I thought he would refuse to agree or make more extreme demands.
Did you agree so easily?
"But I want you to do it yourself."
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, no problem, when do you want?"
"It's the weekend."
"good."
Huo Yan sent her home and left without any other actions during the whole process. He was the ultimate gentleman.
Cheng Anning was still a little uncomfortable, so she suppressed her strange emotions and returned home.
As everyone knows, Huo Yan has a book in his hand at this moment.
[On 108 ways to pursue girls]
He frowned deeply and looked slightly irritated.
If he had just followed his own wishes, it would never have been possible to solve it in one meal.
He didn't think it was worthwhile unless he peeled off a layer of Cheng Anning's skin.
But the book says to do it step by step and not to be rash.
Huo Chao gave him this book and told him to study hard.
For the sake of his son, Huo Yan patiently obeyed.
…
Since getting Master Che's permission, Cheng Anning has been visiting regularly every day.
When Zhou Lansheng learned that she had been recognized by Master Che, she was shocked and full of hope for the future of the company.
"You just need to improve your skills and strive to win awards. Leave the rest to me. Your Uncle Zhou still has some abilities."
"Uncle Zhou, thank you."
Zhou Lansheng smiled, and there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he had been very busy recently.
"Say thank you to Uncle Zhou, this is what I should do."
Cheng Anning hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhou, do my mother and Master Che know each other?"
"Why do you ask? I have never heard your mother mention it."
"Ah, it's okay."
It seems that this matter can only wait until Master Che is willing to say it.
She suppressed her confusion and studied hard every day.
It has to be said that even though Master Che has retired from the world, his strength is still there, and he can immediately point out her hidden problems and bad habits she has developed over the years.
Master Che's words were sharp and he would curse loudly, which could make people doubt their life.
Several times, Cheng Anning fell into a trance and felt like the most useless trash in the world.
Fortunately, she had experienced enough hardships and quickly adjusted her mood without any signs of depression.
Seeing this, Master Che's eyes became more complicated.
He turned his back, went upstairs, and took out a yellowed photo.
In the photo, there is a woman holding a baby, next to him is a younger man.
His eyes were in a trance, as if he could hear what Qin Xiang said back then.
"Teacher Che, Ning Ning will be looking after you from now on. I hope you can teach her that my illness is too serious and I can't watch her grow up."
Old Man Che sighed deeply and put the photo back. This chapter has been completed!
