Chapter 261: I Really Can't Bear It
As the knock on the door sounded, Huo Zechuan said the word "enter"!
The office door is pushed open!
The first to come in was a few black-clad bodyguards to open the way, a total of six bodyguards! Three on the left, three on the right, lined up, and the last to come in was a man in a suit, probably in his fifties! The man's hair was meticulously combed!
As soon as he came in, he handed Huo Zechuan a business card!
"Mr. Huo, hello, I'm Roger, the chief administrator of the Red Maple City City Lord's Mansion!
Huo Zechuan raised his eyebrows, and then stretched out his hand: "Mr. Luo, please take a seat!"
Roger nodded: "Mr. Huo is polite!" After speaking, he walked directly to the sofa and sat down!
Zhang Chi walked in, nodded to Huo Zechuan, and then asked, "Mr. Luo, coffee or tea?"
Roger smiled: "We're so old, let's drink tea!
Zhang Chi walked out, soaked two cups of rain before the dragon well came in, and then retreated.
Roger picked up the teacup, blew it, then took a sip lightly, nodded again and again, and was full of praise: "Good tea, good tea, Mr. Huo is really a person who understands tea." β
Huo Zechuan smiled lightly: "It's too famous, Mr. Luo." β
Roger put down the teacup and then looked at Huo Zechuan: "Mr. Huo, the purpose of my visit this time, I have already said on the phone, it is about the eldest lady of our Red Maple City City Lord's Mansion." β
Huo Zechuan raised his eyebrows when he heard him say this, and then leaned lazily on the back of the chair, folded his legs, and made a gesture of deferential listening.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Roger had no choice but to say to himself: "Mr. Huo, your wife, Miss Jian Xi, in fact, she is not surnamed Jane, she should be surnamed Nan, and she is the pearl of our Red Maple City Lord's palm." β
Huo Zechuan smiled: "Mr. Luo, I don't understand what you mean. My wife was abandoned by her father and grew up in the countryside of Ningjiang County since she was a child, how did she become the daughter of your Red Maple City City Lord......'s Mansion? It's a bit unbelievable. β
Roger smiled a little helplessly: "It's normal for Mr. Huo to think it's unbelievable. After all, at the beginning, Mrs. Huo's mother, Ms. Mu Feifei, who is also our current city lord's wife, was pregnant and married to Jian Mingyao, Mr. Jian. Moreover, the reason why Mr. Jian is where he is today is also due to the fulfillment of our city lord's wife. β
"Oh?" Huo Zechuan raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little interested and wanted to know more.
This time, Roger received an order to get Jian Xi back no matter what, because the city lord's illness is really not suitable for delaying any longer. So, he doesn't hide it anymore.
"Mr. Huo, to tell you the truth, back then, when Mrs. Huo's mother, Ms. Mu Feifei, was with our city lord, our city lord was a family member at that time. Therefore, Ms. Mu Feifei was unwilling to destroy the city lord's family, so she chose to hide the fact that she was pregnant and married Mr. Jane. β
Huo Zechuan sneered in his heart, this story is really clichΓ©. However, on the surface, he did not show it. Still as indifferent as ever.
"Why didn't you hide it later?"
Roger felt a little embarrassed, but he had to say, "Later, the original city lord's wife died. The city lord remembered Ms. Mu Feifei, so he sent people to the imperial capital to look for her. At that time, Ms. Mu Feifei had already returned to the countryside of Ningjiang County with Miss Jian Xi to live. β
"You mean, Jian Mingyao knows that Jian Xi is not his own daughter?" Huo Zechuan asked.
Roger nodded: "Of course I know, that's why he was able to get so much money from Ms. Mu Feifei and create Jane's Company." β
Huo Zechuan leaned forward and looked at Roger, his eyes were full of indifference: "Since I gave up this daughter more than twenty years ago, let's treat her as if she didn't exist! Jian Xi is just Mrs. Huo now, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Huo family." She is not the eldest lady of the Red Maple City City Lord's Mansion. β
At this time, Roger stood up: "Mr. Huo, we know that you have always been very fond of our eldest lady. You can rest assured, after letting the eldest lady return to the City Lord's Mansion to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, we will definitely send her back to the imperial capital, and she is still the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Huo family. Please!"
After speaking, Roger led his black-clothed bodyguard to bow deeply to Huo Zechuan to show his sincerity.
Huo Zechuan looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, if I don't have a suitable reason, I won't agree." After all, before you came, you should have also inquired in the imperial capital, I really love Jian Xi. β
Hearing him say this, Roger was a little anxious, so he had to tell the truth: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo has to go back to Red Maple City with us." Because, our city lord, is seriously ill and is bedridden. His lifelong wish was to see his own daughter with his own eyes. So, for the sake of an old father who wants to have his own daughter, let Mrs. Huo go with us!"
Huo Zechuan took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Since you have all said this, if I don't agree, will it seem very indifferent and ruthless, and very impersonal?"
Roger also knew that Huo Zechuan was a character who could not be easily offended, so he had no choice but to be a man with his tail between his legs: "Mr. Huo said that he was laughing, but he didn't dare." β
"How dare you dare?" Huo Zechuan said: "In this case, I will naturally not disappoint the wishes of the old man." I still have some things to be busy with here, and when I am done with these few days, I will personally accompany my wife to Red Maple City, and by the way, I will meet my father-in-law who has not yet met. β
Roger saw that Huo Zechuan was going to follow, where would he be allowed? Huo Zechuan went, if they wanted to take Jian Xi's heart, it would not be so easy. Therefore, he hurriedly pushed and said: "Mr. Huo, you are busy with official business, so I won't bother you." Or let's take the eldest lady to Red Maple City, you can rest assured that Mrs. Huo will be returned to you intact. β
"But I really can't bear her to leave me!" Huo Zechuan made a reluctant look.
"Mr. Huo, don't worry, let's take the eldest lady back first, after all, it's not easy for us to say anything about the city lord's illness. When you're done with the past few days, you can go to the Red Maple City City Lord's Mansion to find the eldest lady, so you see, okay?"
Huo Zechuan glanced at Roger, as if considering the feasibility of this matter. He thought about it for about 5 minutes, and then he looked very reluctant.
"That's the only way to go! Excuse me, write me the address of your City Lord's Mansion, and in a few days, I will visit you in person." β
Roger finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this.
Huo Zechuan walked to the desk, picked up the pen and a piece of paper in the pen holder, and handed it to Roger.
Roger took it, wrote down the address of the City Lord's Mansion on the coffee table, and then handed it to Huo Zechuan.
Huo Zechuan glanced at it, then raised his head: "Since my father-in-law is seriously ill, then you can't delay, you can go to the manor tomorrow and pick up my wife." β
When Roger heard this, he was overjoyed: "Then thank you Mr. Huo for your understanding! That's all for today, farewell!
Huo Zechuan stood up: "Mr. Luo walks slowly." β
Roger took the people and left Huo Zechuan's office.
Huo Zechuan looked at their backs as they left, sneered, sat in his office chair, and continued to work on his papers.
