Time flew by and it was the weekend agreed with Huo Yan.
Cheng Anning did not break his promise and went to the appointment on time.
...In fact, we can't break our promise. Early in the morning, the Huo family's driver was waiting downstairs on time.
The other party politely invited her to get in the car, but in fact she was followed by two bodyguards.
Cheng Anning sighed, got in the car, and drove directly to Huo's Manor.
After so many years, she returned to the Huo Manor again, and she felt extremely complicated.
Xiao Huo Chao had been waiting at the door early. When he saw her coming, he ran up happily.
"Auntie! You are here!"
Cheng Anning touched his head and said, "Well, aunt is here. Is there anything you want to eat? Auntie will cook it for you."
"Well, I like whatever my aunt does."
She smiled and rolled her eyes. She was such an obedient and well-behaved child, so lovable.
"What do you like most?"
"Braised ribs?"
"Satisfy you."
Little Huo Chao also laughed, his little face was bright and sunny, which made him happy to look at.
"Auntie, my dad is not at home right now. He said he would come back later."
Huo Yan isn't here?
This is really good news!
Cheng Anning's face became brighter to the naked eye.
Without his troublesome father, Xiao Huo Chao's mood improved visibly.
The two hit it off immediately and started cooking happily.
Little Huo Chao took the initiative to help mommy, regardless of the servant's obstruction.
Huo Yan, who was far away in the Huo Group, had a very important meeting at the last minute, so even though it was hard to return, he still stayed.
When the meeting was over, Yang Ke stepped forward and whispered: "Boss, Miss Xu is here."
Huo Yan's eyebrows twitched, "What is she doing here?"
"She said she wanted to talk to you personally about something, so she was waiting outside."
"Bring it in."
"yes."
Yang Ke led the charming Xu Manman in.
This is the first time they have met since he unilaterally canceled the engagement at the manor last time.
Huo Yan didn't have any affection or love for the woman in front of him, but because he touched her before and unexpectedly fell in love with Xiao Chao, he owed her a favor.
He doesn't like to owe favors, but he has no way of paying them back.
When Cheng Anning 'died' before, marriage came to him as dispensable, like an uncaring prop that could be given away casually and return the favor.
But it's different now.
Marriage means something to him.
Although he hasn't understood the deeper meaning yet, after all, it's not something that can be given away casually.
In other words, he still owes Xu Manman.
And Xu Manman also came here for this matter.
She was wearing a pure white dress, with her long hair hanging down, and light makeup. She was a little more arrogant because of her sudden noble life experience.
It's a pity that this arrogance disappeared when faced with Huo Yan.
"Ayan."
"sit."
Xu Manman sat on the chair with a dignified posture.
Huo Yan took out a bunch of things, handed them over, and said, "Sign it, it's all yours."
Xu Manman took it, browsed it, and found that it was a stack of property transfer certificates, including but not limited to houses, cars, shopping malls, etc.
At a glance, it's worth hundreds of millions.
In the past, Xu Manman would have been stunned by this number, but now that she was brought back by Mrs. Qin, she was no longer a short-sighted person.
Although these properties are exciting, they are far inferior to the Huo family's property.
Of course, she couldn't say that. Just when she was about to speak, Huo Yan said again: "This is only one-third. As long as you agree, I will give you two more equal portions."
Hearing this, Xu Manman's breathing quickened a bit.
She forced herself to put down the document, not to read it, and said: "Ayan, you know, I don't care about these."
"few?"
"no."
Xu Manman showed a bitter smile and said: "Emotions cannot be measured by money. What I like is you, not money."
Huo Yan was silent.
But he didn't believe this.
He can tell whether a person has love or not.
Xu Manman has some, but definitely not many.
Seeing his cold eyes, Xu Manman bit her lower lip gently and said, "I know you are unwilling to return Xiao Chao to me, but I hope you can allow me to visit him in the future."
Huo Yan refused.
"He doesn't want to see you. Don't forget what you did."
Xu Manman did not deny it, but looked at him with red eyes.
"At that time, you were on a business trip and didn't care about me and my children at all. So in addition to my mental problems, I suffered from depression and couldn't control myself. That's why I did those things to Xiao Chao. I know I was wrong."
This reason is perfect. This is how she deceived Mrs. Qin and the Gu family.
Huo Yan seemed to be thinking about this sentence.
"I have received psychological intervention, and I will cooperate well with the treatment, but after all, Xiao Chao is my child born in ten months of pregnancy, and I am his biological mother. You cannot stop this."
Finally, Huo Yan relented: "Visit once a month."
Xu Manman knew that this was Huo Yan's bottom line, so he agreed, "Okay."
"I will send someone to monitor you."
His son cannot have another accident like that.
Xu Manman's face froze, but she still didn't argue.
Then she added: "In addition, I promise you to cancel the engagement, but you must promise me three things."
Seeing Huo Yan about to refuse, Xu Manman burst into tears.
"That night...you destroyed me, and Xiao Chao was taken away by you. Ayan, I have nothing left, you can't be so cruel."
Huo Yan swallowed the words on his lips and replaced them with another sentence: "Don't touch the bottom line."
"Okay, this is what you promised. Now, the first thing I want you to do is to accompany me to a banquet. Today is my birthday."
Huo Yan pursed her lips tightly, thinking about things at home, and finally agreed.
He wanted to end this favor as soon as possible, and he was not sure what more excessive demands Xu Manman would make. This one seemed simple at the moment.
Seeing that he agreed, Xu Manman smiled and said, "Then let's go."
Huo Yan told Yang Ke to go back, and he followed Xu Manman.
In the Huo family manor.
Cheng Anning worked hard all morning and finally prepared a table of meals.
But Huo Yan was not seen for a long time.
But Secretary Yang arrived.
"The boss has something to do and can't come here at the moment. He asked me to stay with the young master. Miss, you can eat first."
Cheng Anning's mood couldn't be said to be good or bad before Huo Yan arrived, so she simply suppressed it and had a meal with Xiao Chao.
The stomachs of Yiyi and Yiyi were round and satisfied.
Xiaochao cherished the time spent with mommy so much that she was reluctant to leave after eating.
When Cheng Anning saw this, she thought that Huo Yan was often busy with work and couldn't take care of the morning. This child was so precocious and sensible that it was heartbreaking.
She thought for a while and said, "Want to go out for a walk?" Xiao Chao's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
"Then let me take you out for a walk."
"Okay, Auntie."
Cheng Anning took Huo Chao with him, while Yang Ke acted as the driver and went out with two bodyguards.
At this moment, Huo Yan appeared at Xu Manman's birthday party without knowing that his phone was out of battery. This chapter has been completed!
