Chapter 5

Maybe it was Chen Qi's matter that hit Li Anqi, and she didn't contact Huo Anxi again in the next few days, Huo Anxi was happy, after all, she was now focused on how to develop her career instead of maintaining this false friendship.

Huo Anxi stayed in Huo Guobang's study for three days, until Uncle Wang informed her that Huo Guobang had returned from a business trip.

Now living in this twenty-year-old body is twenty-five-year-old Huo Anxi, who has died once, even if he hates Huo Guobang again, he understands that what she can do now is not to show her teeth and claws and tear Huo Guobang's face, but to improve the relationship between them and improve herself step by step with him.

Huo Guobang arrived on the plane at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Huo Anxi dressed himself up at two o'clock and went to the airport with Uncle Wang.

Through the rearview mirror, Uncle Wang has been secretly looking at Huo Anxi, Miss Anxi has really changed a lot, not only did she really come to pick up the airport, but I heard that she also reads books in the study every day, unlike when she used to stay with friends all day long, Mr. Huo will be very happy to know it, right?

Huo Guobang never thought that Huo Anxi would come to pick him up in his lifetime, so much so that he was stunned for several seconds after seeing Huo Anxi.

Huo Anxi smiled and bent his eyebrows, affectionately grabbed Huo Guobang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad, you are finally back, I miss you so much." ”

Huo Guobang didn't know which one she was singing, so he glanced at her sideways and snorted lightly: "Miss me?" Then you didn't plan to come back this summer, I asked you to come back, and you are still angry at me?"

"Oh, Dad, girls have little emotions and you have to understand. Huo Anxi pursed his lips slightly, and said in a soft tone: "I miss you very much in these days of studying abroad, and I have realized how unique my family is, and then I reflect on my past, and I feel that I was very ignorant before, and I cared too little about my father, I swear that I will never be like this in the future! I want to be a good daughter who makes my father proud!"

No matter how weak the relationship is, no father will be unhappy when he hears his daughter say this, let alone ...... She still had what he wanted.

"You're happy that you can figure it out Dad. ”

"Let's go, Dad, Uncle Wang is waiting outside, let's go eat." ”

Huo Guobang looked at his watch, "Now, it's too early." ”

"It's not early, I've booked a private room at your favorite restaurant, and it's forty or fifty minutes from the airport, and I still have something to tell you. ”

The words were all said and done, Huo Guobang was not happy, so he walked out with Huo Anxi, during which the mobile phone kept vibrating, he looked down and saw a string of text messages from a familiar number, did not click on it, and hurriedly put it in his pocket.

----

Yuexing Restaurant.

This is a Cantonese restaurant, Huo Guobang likes the food here very much, and often comes here to eat with friends when he is not social, these are all things Huo Anxi heard through Huo Guobang's assistant in the past few days.

"Braised pigeon, white-cut chicken, peacock fish, honey barbecued pork...... Tofu crucian carp soup, well, I want another baby cabbage, it's okay, thank you. ”

Huo Anxi met Huo Guobang's surprised eyes after ordering the order, she blinked playfully, like a child pleasing to reward, "I ordered all my father's favorite food, right?

Huo Guobang: "An Xi, you are indeed different from before, you are a lot more sensible, and Dad is very pleased." ”

"I'm so sensible, can Dad grant me a small request?"

"Do you want a bag or a shoes? You say, Daddy has you covered. ”

"I don't want those, I want ......"

Huo Anxi was interrupted by Huo Guobang's mobile phone ringtone before he finished speaking, Huo Guobang glanced at it, pressed mute, and put it on the table, "You go on." ”

But the mobile phone that was pressed on mute began to vibrate tirelessly, and in the quiet box, there was a sense of existence that was difficult to ignore.

Huo Anxi carefully looked at Huo Guobang's expression and said thoughtfully: "Dad, you answer the phone first, maybe it's a matter of work, and I'm not in a hurry." ”

Huo Guobang frowned and glanced at the mobile phone that didn't seem to be going to stop, and got up to answer the phone outside the box.

Huo Anxi's expression was instantly cold, looking at his expression and his attitude of avoiding her, the phone call was obviously not at work, so, was it the woman Huo Guobang raised outside?

Also, after all, according to the previous mode of getting along, Huo Anxi didn't care where Huo Guobang was, and gave him and his mistress a lot of convenience.

Huo Guobang came back in less than a minute, "Anxi, you go on." ”

"Dad, there are two months left on vacation, and I want to go to the company for an internship. ”

"Anxi, don't make trouble, the company is not a place for little girls to play around. ”

"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore, it's not a whim, I'm going to be twenty years old soon, and it's time to get to know the company at home, so I'll take over as soon as possible in the future and help my dad share his worries." Huo Anxi stared at Huo Guobang without blinking for a moment, as if he said inadvertently, "Unless you say it...... Dad wants to hand over the Huo family's company to someone else in the future?"

"Nonsense!" Huo Guobang, who was poked, immediately scolded, but then realized that his reaction was a little strong, and said again: "You have this heart, Dad is very moved, your idea Dad will consider it to see if the company has a suitable position for you." ”

Huo Anxi immediately smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Dad!"

Before coming to pick up the airport, Huo Anxi did his homework, understood Huo Guobang's preferences, and wanted to get along in the future without being cold and close the distance between each other. But Huo Guobang was a little absent-minded after answering the phone, no matter what she said, he showed lack of interest, answered very perfunctory, and looked at the phone from time to time.

He wanted to go, and of course she understood.

When the phone began to vibrate again, Huo Anxi said: "Dad, if there is something, you can go and get busy first." ”

Huo Guobang carefully looked at Huo Anxi's expression, except for a little bit of loss in her eyes, she was not dissatisfied, he was inexplicably a little guilty, and he felt more and more that the person who kept calling him seemed a little childish.

But guilt is guilt, he really wants to leave, "Then I'll go first, let Uncle Wang send you home, and Dad will accompany you to dinner another day." ”

Huo Anxi shook his head, "No need, let Uncle Wang send my father, I want to go shopping after dinner, and I'll take the car back later." ”

Huo Anxi said that he was going to go shopping, which somewhat reduced Huo Guobang's guilt, "Then you can ask a friend to go shopping, you can buy whatever you want, and swipe your father's card." ”

As he spoke, Huo Guobang had already taken his bag, beckoned the waiter to buy the bill, and left with Uncle Wang in a hurry.

Huo Anxi was the only one left in the box, she was not interested in a whole table of dishes, she sat quietly for ten seconds, and then got up and cautiously followed Huo Guobang.

Huo Guobang went to see that woman, right?

The woman who took her mother's place, of course she wanted to know who it was.

---

Out of Yuexing Restaurant, Huo Guobang did not let Uncle Wang drive, but asked him for the key and drove on the road by himself.

Huo Guobang's behavior made Huo Anxi more sure of his guess, if he went to see someone at work, he would not let Uncle Wang leave.

He really wanted to find that woman, and he couldn't wait to meet his 'family' after being on a business trip for so long.

She was worried about where to start investigating the woman, but it didn't take much effort to get there.

Huo Anxi got into a taxi and followed Huo Guobang all the way, the car shuttled through the city, and then drove into the villa area east of City A, he parked the car in the garage familiarly, and then got out of the car and looked around vigilantly, did not ring the doorbell, but took out the key from his bag and opened the door directly.

The movements are smooth and familiar, as if this is his home.

Huo Anxi smiled self-deprecatingly, his indifference at the beginning just provided him with convenience, the Huo family's house was an empty city at all, and he was afraid that he was here to feel the warmth of his family and enjoy his family fun when she didn't live at home in those years.

Huo Anxi took out his mobile phone, aimed at the villa and pressed the shutter button.

Seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of getting out of the car, the driver reminded: "Little girl, you have arrived, a total of 87 yuan." ”

Huo Anxi took out a stack of 100 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the driver, "You drive a little bit ahead, and then pull over, I won't get out of the car for the time being, if you think the money is not enough, just tell me." ”

No one would have trouble with the money, so the driver said 'enough is enough', took the money and drove forward according to her instructions.

There was no movement for a long time, until seven o'clock, when it was getting late, and a thin figure gradually walked out of the twilight.

He was wearing a blue and white school uniform, carrying a schoolbag cross-body, with his hands in his pockets, revealing a bit of wanton brazenness unique to teenagers, and opened the door of the villa carelessly, the distance was a little far, Huo Anxi couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and could only feel a little reluctance from his slow movements.

Before his figure completely disappeared from sight, Huo Anxi hurriedly turned on the mobile phone camera and aimed at the young man.

This young man who looks like a high school student is Huo Guobang's baby son.

Some memories come to mind uncontrollably.

Huo Guobang indifferently took her cold hand and pressed it on the fictitious will, as well as the smiling face with a little smile that he would give his precious son what originally belonged to her as a graduation gift.

This 'younger brother', who is only a few years younger than her, is the best proof that Huo Guobang betrayed her mother.

As the night deepened, Huo Anxi watched the lights of the villa gradually turn on, and through the window, she could vaguely see three figures close together, and she was sitting alone in the back seat of the taxi, as if she was the most redundant existence in the world.

"Little girl, are you alright?" the kind driver leaned over from the front seat.

Huo Anxi retracted his gaze and shook his head.

The driver pulled out a few tissues and handed them over, "If you want to cry, cry, I feel that you can't do it." ”

Hearing this, Huo Anxi smiled, and there was a depth at the bottom of his eyes that did not match the age of his body, "Thank you for your concern, it's just that I don't have tears and don't need tissues." ”

Tears have long since been shed in a previous life.

Instead of letting yourself shed tears, let the enemy bleed.
