"Because lettuce is my absolute favorite…" Qin Chu replied in equal seriousness, and Huo Mian burst out in laughter…
Why was Mr . Qin so cute? He looked so adorable when answering her question .
It was already 11:30 PM when they headed home .
Huo Mian was so sleepy that she fell asleep in the passenger's seat…
Just then, she received a WeChat message on her phone . "Hey, are you sleep yet?"
Qin Chu rarely looked at Huo Mian's phone, but when he glanced over and saw that the message was from Huo Siqian, he became anxious .
Therefore, he held the steering wheel with one hand and picked up Huo Mian's phone with the other .
After unlocking it with much familiarity, he replied, "What do you want?"
"The old man's going to run out of money soon… I think he's going to come looking for you soon . Whatever measures he decides to take, whether it's playing the victim or the parent card, promise me that you won't help him . "
"I know," Qin Chu replied; he immediately realized that Huo Siqian was talking to Huo Mian about Huo Zhenghai; it seemed like Jiang Hong and Huo Siqian were more than ready to snatch the Huo Corporation, leaving Huo Zhenghai with nowhere and no one to go to .
"Oh, did you realize anything different on your way to work these days?" Huo Siqian asked .
"What do you mean…?"
"For example, has anything weird been happening to you?" Huo Siqian's question was vague, but Qin Chu had a feeling that he knew Huo Mian was being followed .
"I feel like I'm being followed…" Qin Chu replied on purpose, wanting to test out Huo Siqian's reactions, but the latter quickly steered away from the subject . "Haha… I think you've been watching too many mystery TV shows, why would anyone follow you?"
"What do you mean by 'weird' then?" Qin Chu replied in lieu of Huo Mian .
"Nothing, you should go to bed soon… There are so many surprises in this world that are just waiting for you to discover . "
Then, Huo Siqian stopped replying, and Qin Chu decided not to probe further .
- Huo Family Mansion -
Huo Siqian stood by the window in his second-floor bedroom with a glass of wine in his hand . He muttered to himself, "Tsk tsk, you damned girl… I can't believe you would let someone else talk to me on your phone, you're so apathetic . "
He was an extremely sensitive and careful person; plus, he knew how Huo Mian usually reacted and talked to him on WeChat .
He knew her too well, so he immediately realized that someone was pretending to talk to him as Huo Mian .
He originally wanted to let that girl in on some information, but if it was Qin Chu who was talking to her, then he didn't want to reveal anything .
After all, it had nothing to do with Qin Chu and everything to do with Huo Mian…
If Huo Mian knew that person came to C City and even visited her at the hospital, she would be really surprised, wouldn't she?
"Siqian… you're not asleep yet?" His mother, Jiang Hong's voice sounded from behind him .
The door to his room was open, so Jiang Hong saw that Huo Siqian was still awake as she headed downstairs for a cigarette .
"Mom…" Huo Siqian turned around with a smile on his face .
"Why aren't you sleep?"
"I couldn't fall asleep…"
"Me too… For some reason, I've been having severe headaches recently…" Jiang Hong walked in with a cigarette in her hand .
Huo Zhenghai hadn't been home in a while; ever since Shen Jiani's incident, he had been sleeping with some university student .
It seemed like he wanted to have another child at his old age; after all, the fact that Huo Siyi was someone else's son was quite a blow to his pride and dignity .
Jiang Hong was more than used to how slutty Huo Zhenghai was since they didn't get married for love to begin with .
"I'll ask a Chinese medicine doctor to come and give you a massage tomorrow . "
Jiang Hong nodded; then, she asked, "Siqian… how are things going at the company?"
"Everything's ready, I'm just waiting for that old man to go looking for help . We're fine as long as Huo Mian doesn't help him . "
"Then… do you think Huo Mian would help him?" Jiang Hong smiled and asked .
