C2698 She Didn't Dare!
Hearing that, a strange light flashed across Huo Fei's eyes, but he quickly recovered. He tried his best to reply with a relaxed tone, "Yes, she doesn't want to go. She wants to stay in the capital to work. My parents also hope that she stays."
"Okay, that's good."
Jiang Ci did not say anything else. Huo Fei turned around and walked out of the office.
The moment he walked out of the office, Huo Fei took a deep breath. He needed a period of time to digest this matter, and then he would face Jiang Ci as usual.
In the meeting room, Huo Fei was absent-minded for a few times, and he did not hear Jiang Ci ask for his opinion.
After the meeting ended, when everyone had left, Jiang Ci asked, "Huo Fei, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ci." Huo Fei forced a smile, "I am indeed a little tired recently."
"If you're tired, then rest well. You don't have to worry about this matter here."
"It's fine, I'll be fine after resting for two days. This matter here won't be a hindrance."
Jiang Ci's deep eyes stared at him as if he wanted to see something from his face.
Sensing that he was examining him, Huo Fei immediately stood up and said lazily, "Let's go and eat. I'm hungry."
"Huo Fei, are you hiding something from me?" Jiang Ci suddenly asked.
Huo Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Ci, you are thinking too much. Recently, several projects have been working together. I am indeed too tired."
"Really?"
"Of course! If I really encounter any problems, I will tell you."
Jiang Ci stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go eat."
After that, Huo Fei restrained himself from thinking about Huo Yan and chatted with Jiang Ci as usual.
That afternoon.
Huo Yan and Chu Xi were shopping and bought a lot of children's toys.
Just as the two of them walked out of the toy shop, a girl's voice sounded from behind them, "Sister Yan."
Huo Yan turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. Two girls around seventeen or eighteen years old were walking towards them. The one who spoke was her cousin, Huo Chun.
Huo Chun looked at the toys in their hands and asked with a puzzled expression, "Sister Yan, why did you buy so many children's toys?"
Huo Yan didn't like this cousin of hers. Of course, Huo Chun also didn't like her, but every time they met, she would greet her hypocritically.
"This is for a friend's child," Huo Yan said indifferently.
"A friend's child? Which friend of yours has a child? Isn't it too early?" Huo Chun looked at her suspiciously, as if she didn't believe her.
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Huo Chun looked like she was wronged. "Sister Yan, I was just asking casually. Why are you so fierce?"
In order to not let Huo Chun suspect, Chu Xi held onto Huo Yan's arm and said, "Yan Er, I'm a little tired. Let's go over there and have some drinks. The doctor said that we shouldn't be too tired during the early stages of pregnancy."
"..." Huo Yan turned her head to look at her.
Chu Xi smiled, "Let's go."
Then the two of them walked towards the drinks store next door.
Seeing the two of them walk away, Huo Chun snorted coldly and said in disdain, "You think anyone would be willing to bother with you, bitch!"
The girl next to him said, "That Chu Xi is pregnant so soon? Isn't she still not married yet?"
Huo Chun rolled his eyes and said in a strange tone, "She will get married next month. She's really anxious! But it's normal. If she didn't get married earlier and have children, if that man dumped her one day, wouldn't she have nothing? If she had a child, she could even get some assets."
"Huo Yan, why are you friends with this kind of woman?"
"Hmph, this shows her superiority."
In the drinks store, the two of them bought two cups of drinks and found a seat to sit down.
"Xiao Xi, why did you say that just now?"
Chu Xi smiled indifferently, "What else could I say? What if she suspects you?"
Huo Yan took a big sip of fruit juice, "I didn't even think of bothering with her."
"It's better to be careful. If they find out about the baby, they might say something."
Huo Yan pursed her lips. She was already mentally prepared. She could not hide the two children forever. The Huo family would know about the existence of the children sooner or later.
"They will know sooner or later. I've already made mental preparations."
"Then … are you ready to tell Uncle and Aunt?"
After a moment of pause, Huo Yan said, "I want to wait a little longer."
In the evening, Huo Yan had just returned home when she took the toys to play with her babies. Mrs. Huo suddenly called.
"Yan Er, where are you?"
Huo Yan said, "I'm at home? What's wrong, Mom?"
"Did you forget the family banquet today? We have all arrived at the old residence. Hurry up and come over."
"Family banquet!" Huo Yan was stunned for a moment. She had indeed forgotten. She looked at the time and said, "I'll be right over."
"Alright, we'll wait for you."
An hour later.
Huo Yan arrived at the old residence of the Huo family.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw an unexpected face.
"Aunt! Why are you back?"
Huo Fanrou said unhappily, "What? Can't I come back?"
Huo Yan said indifferently, "I didn't mean that."
"Your grandmother asked me to come back." Huo Fanrou added, "Didn't you go to study in Country E? Why are you still in the capital?"
"I won't go to Country E anymore."
"Oh?" Huo Fanrou smiled meaningfully, "Are you … looking away? Or is it someone who asked you to come back? "
The woman's strange tone made Huo Yan feel uncomfortable. She frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you know what I mean?" Huo Fanrou walked in front of Huo Yan and said coldly, "Why did the Huo family give birth to such a useless person like you! Huo Yan, don't you want to take revenge on Jiang Ci? Are you planning to be toyed with by him for nothing?"
Huo Yan's expression changed slightly when she heard this. How did Huo Fanrou know?
She tried her best to remain calm. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm spouting nonsense? Hmph, you dare to say that you weren't slept by Jiang Ci?"
Huo Yan clenched her fists and stared at her. "I didn't! Huo Fanrou, stop spouting nonsense!"
Huo Fanrou laughed. "You're in a hurry? Don't worry, the good show is still coming."
At this moment, Huo Fei suddenly walked over. "What good show? Tell me about it so that I can listen too."
Huo Fanrou's expression changed when she saw Huo Fei walking over. Before she could speak, she heard Huo Fei say again, "When did Aunt come back? Is Young Master Xu alright?"
Huo Fanrou glanced at him coldly and turned to leave.
After waiting for him to leave, Huo Yan asked, "Brother, how did she know?"
Staring at the woman's back, Huo Fei said in a deep voice, "That night, it was her who designed Jiang Ci."
"So it's her! No wonder she knew." Huo Yan was a little worried. "What is she doing back home? Is she trying to say this in front of everyone?"
Huo Fei said, "Don't worry, she doesn't dare to."
The family banquet soon began.
At the dining table, Old Man Huo said, "I called her back. Previously, she did something wrong, but she's still a family. You can forgive her."
