“What happened?”
“I think someone was following me . ” Huo Mian frowned .
“Following you? Did you see what kind of car it was? What about its license plate?” Qin Chu was extremely cautious .
“I did… the car’s not suspicious because the owner is from C City, but… never mind, I might be overthinking things, work has been really overwhelming recently . ”
The truth was, Huo Mian was thinking about the words Huo Siqian previously said to her .
‘Huo Mian, something’s going to happen to both of us . ’
In the beginning, Huo Mian didn’t pay much attention; later she realized that Huo Siqian would never say something like this for no reason .
Could it be that Ian was here? But why would someone as powerful as he do such a low thing of following someone?
However, Huo Mian didn’t voice any of these concerns to Qin Chu, worried that he might worry .
“Don’t worry… I always have people protecting you to and from work… No one has the guts to do anything to you, I promise . If someone really tries to make a move, I’m going to make them regret they were ever alive,” Qin Chu consoled Huo Mian, caressing her hair .
“Mhm . ”
The four of them then enjoyed a serene family dinner together .
On the other side of town, however, Huo Siqian was in a bad mood as he changed into a suit .
“Boss, do you think it’s a trap?”
“Even so, I still have to go . ”
“Why is Mr . Xiang doing this, knowing that Ms . Mo used to be your woman? Do you think he did it on purpose to slap your face?”
“Xiang Donglai’s just an old fox, I know what he’s thinking… He wants to take this chance to do me a favor and get me on his side . Does he think I would ever do that? He’s not worth that much to me,” Huo Siqian sneered .
Mr . Xiang was well-respected amongst the mobsters, and his children and grandchildren were all engaged in illegal activities . However, because they were discreet and had people of authority under their belts, business had been smooth for years .
Huo Siqian rarely interacted with Mr . Xiang’s family, but they always treated each other cordially – on the outside .
Today, he was suddenly invited to dinner at Mr . Xiang’s house; this situation immediately piqued his interest .
Huo Siqian knew that Mr . Xiang bailed Mo Xue’er out . Therefore, he worried about what was waiting for him at dinner…
Suddenly, his moving car came to a halt .
With a frown, Huo Siqian asked, “What’s going on?”
“Boss, that’s Ms . Yan’s car . ”
As soon as his subordinate finished his sentence, Yan Ruoxi stubbornly got off her red BMW sports car and ran up to his . “Siqian . ”
“Yeah?”
“Are you going to Mr . Xiang’s house?”
“Yeah . ”
“I’m coming with you . ”
“No, it’s okay . ”
“No, I have to go with you . I heard that old man saved Mo Xue’er, I don’t want them to bully you,” Yan Ruoxi said . Then, she got onto Huo Siqian’s car before the latter could respond .
She sat down beside him, snuggling up against him .
“Ruoxi, don’t play around . I’m going there for business . ”
“I know, I just want to spend time with you . I promise I won’t do anything rash, I won’t even talk, okay? I’ll be a quiet little girl,” Yan Ruoxi said coyishly .
“Does your dad know you’re here?”
“Stop threatening me with my dad! I don’t care, I’m not getting off your car even if he shows up right this second . ” Yan Ruoxi often showed her princess-syndrome side, but Huo Siqian couldn’t do anything about it .
Finally, he had no choice but to compromise . “Let’s go . ”
Satisfied with the outcome, Yan Ruoxi moved in even closer to Huo Siqian
– Xiang Family Mansion –
“Elder Xiang… Mr . Huo is here . ”
“Tell him to come in . ” An old man of around 70 years old walked downstairs with a cane .
Walking beside him was Mo Xue’er; her hair was up in ancient China style, and she was wearing a sexy red qipao .
She didn’t look like someone who had just come out of rehab…
As soon as she saw Huo Siqian’s face, Mo Xue’er’s expression lit up with a fiery glow…
