CHAPTER XXII

Wonderful no pop-up window free!

As soon as Huo Anxi arrived at the airport in City A, the driver Uncle Wang was already waiting there.

Huo Anxi performed the 'well-behaved daughter' to the fullest, Huo Guobang only called her once, and just said that she wanted her to come back, she immediately booked the earliest flight.

She grew so big, she felt that this was the most opportune call Huo Guobang made, just when she rejected Fu Jingzhi's confession, and the two of them were embarrassed to death in the kitchen, Huo Anxi felt that Huo Guobang, who called her at this time, was like a savior.

She admits that Fu Jingzhi is very good and treats her very well, but she really doesn't want to touch it when it comes to love.

Uncle Wang directly drove her to the best styling salon in City A, and Huo Guobang called her again: "Anxi, have you arrived?"

"Hmm. Huo Anxi replied obediently, as if he had no dissatisfaction with his father's journey of letting himself suffer such a bumpy journey, only curious, "What kind of dinner is it? Dad must accompany you to attend." ”

In fact, Huo Anxi knew in his heart that this dinner was a welcome banquet held by the Xiao family to welcome their only son Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi, as the only son of the Xiao family, did not inherit the family business, and started his own business in the United States, the technology company was first listed in the United States, and then turned its focus back to China.

As for whether this time she came back simply to visit her relatives or if there were any projects to discuss, Huo Anxi didn't know, after all, at this time before her rebirth, she was falling in love with Dong Yu, and she was very disgusted by Huo Guobang's obvious and strong desire to push her to Xiao Qi, so she didn't attend the banquet.

"Do you remember Uncle Xiao, an old friend of my father's for many years. ”

"Hmm. ”

"His son Xiao Qi is back, so he held a welcome party, and invited some old friends, just to catch up with the old days, I heard that many young people will go, you should know more friends. ”

"Okay, if Daddy wants me to go, I'll go. ”

Hearing this, Huo Guobang smiled with relief, and said with emotion: "An Xi, you have really grown up and sensible, dress up well, and Dad will come to pick you up after talking about things." ”

"Dad, can you give me the list of people to attend tonight's banquet? ”

She doesn't have any ideas about Xiao Qi, but it doesn't mean that the daughters of all sizes in this city don't have it, in case she is inexplicably regarded as an imaginary enemy, she will be wronged.

After hanging up Huo Guobang's phone, the staff of the salon brought the jewelry box, and the jewelry inside shone in the light, "Miss Huo, this is the jewelry that Mr. Huo prepared for you." ”

Huo Anxi just glanced at it and knew that it was worth a lot, Huo Guobang was so generous, of course she would not let him down.

---

When Huo Guobang came to pick up Huo Anxi, she was already dressed, she was wearing a black dress with a straight neckline, revealing a beautiful collarbone and a good-looking shoulder blade line, and the length of the lower skirt was just below the knee, revealing a white and slender calf. The brown hair was slightly curled in a shawl, and the hair on the sides of the ears was braided into tiny braids and pinned back with a crown.

With exquisite makeup, she looks like a woman's elegance, without losing the charm of a little girl.

Huo Guobang glanced at Huo Anxi with satisfaction and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, just like your mother when she was young." ”

Huo Anxi pretended to hang his head shyly, covering his eyes full of emotion, "Really, it turns out that Dad still remembers Mom's appearance." ”

"How can you not remember, your mother went too early, I was busy with work back then, and I didn't spend much time with her when she was sick, and now I really regret that I didn't do it at the beginning. ”

The light in the car was dim, and Huo Anxi sneered silently, "Dad, have you ever dreamed of your mother over the years?"

Huo Guobang shook his head a little embarrassedly, "I've been very busy with work lately, and I almost don't dream anymore." ”

"It's weird, I've been dreaming about my mom a lot lately. Huo An raised his head suddenly, staring at Huo Guobang with clear eyes, "I don't know why, my mother always cries in my dreams, and she doesn't tell me what's wrong, Dad, why do you say my mother is crying so sadly?"

I don't know if it's a weak heart, Huo Guobang feels that his daughter's eyes are too penetrating, and those words make people's backs tingle.

"You must have had a bad night's sleep lately, don't think about it. Huo Guobang changed the topic, "Anxi, you are about to be twenty years old, and it's time to find a boyfriend, there will be a lot of young people at today's party, you can see if there will be a suitable one." For example, your Uncle Xiao's son Xiao Qi, I think it is very suitable, it is rare that the family conditions are so good, and he is still young and promising. ”

Huo Anxi nodded obediently, "Well, I listen to Dad." ”

Huo Guobang's eyes were approving, "Anxi, I've really grown up." ”

In the following journey, Huo Guobang answered a few more phone calls, and the father and daughter did not talk again.

The car drove all the way to the hotel where the Xiao family held the banquet, and Huo Anxi took Huo Guobang's hand and entered the banquet hall together.

After living for two lifetimes, this is the first time Huo Anxi has accompanied Huo Guobang to attend a banquet, the hall is full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, and the hall is full of people gathering in twos and twos to talk.

As soon as Huo Guobang entered the venue, many people raised their glasses to greet him, he smiled and waved his hand one by one, and introduced Huo Anxi to everyone, Huo Anxi behaved very well, listened to Huo Guobang's introduction, and greeted the elders politely.

After a circle, Huo Guobang patted her holding his hand and said with a smile: "An Xi, I just saw An Qi come in, you go over to talk to her first, I'll talk to your Uncle Xiao about something, and I'll come to you later." ”

Of course, Huo Guobang didn't know about the 'petty fights' between Huo Anxi and Li Anqi, and he remembered that his daughter had always had such a best friend by her side since junior high school.

Huo Guobang was going to busy himself Huo Anxile's relaxation, and when this round of greetings came down, she was about to laugh stiffly.

As soon as Huo Guobang left on the front foot, Li's mother came over with the reluctant Li Anqi.

Huo Anxi knew from looking at Li Anqi's expression that her twentieth birthday was very disturbing, so that Li Anqi, who had been acting in the 'good friend' drama for so many years, was finally unwilling to continue acting.

"Hello Auntie. Huo Anxi called Li's mother sweetly, looked at Li Anqi with sadness and hesitation, opened her lips, and didn't open her mouth after all.

This scene is in the eyes of Li's mother, but Huo Anxi still regards her daughter as a good friend, and her daughter doesn't know what to lose, so she is awkward.

"Anxi, Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time. Mother Li took Huo Anxi's hand affectionately as she spoke, "Doesn't you usually come to live at home for a while when you return to China during the holidays, why didn't you come this year?" Auntie is very unaccustomed to it." ”

Huo Anxi didn't answer, just looked at Li Anqi quietly.

Li's mother is an understanding person, holding Huo Anxi's hand with one hand, and Li Anqi's hand with the other, and folding the hands of the two in her palm, "It is difficult for people to make a close friend in their lives, you have known each other since junior high school, and it is not easy to be friends for so many years, it is inevitable that there will be some friction between girls, listen to me, if you shake it like this today, you should be reconciled." ”

Compared with Li Anqi's frowning, Huo Anxi looked at Li Anqi with a smile and asked, "Anqi, do you want to reconcile with me?"

From Huo Anxi's point of view, Li's mother glared at Li Anqi reproachfully.

It was this glance that made Li Anqi angrily shake off Huo Anxi's hand and pedal his high heels to a remote corner of the banquet.

There are acquaintances everywhere here, it is impossible for Mother Li to scold Li Anqi loudly, she who stayed in front of Huo Anxi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and smiled awkwardly, "Anxi, Anqi, this child should have something on her mind recently, and she is not in a good mood, don't be angry with her, you have been friends for so many years, she must be ......"

"Auntie. Huo Anxi interrupted, smiled, and said seriously: "I really don't know what I did wrong, and Anqi's attitude towards me has not been right when I returned to China this time." ”

"This ......"

"Auntie, listen to me, I know that it is not easy to be a friend for so many years, but Auntie, you should also know that being a friend cannot be forced, since Angel has made such a decision, I respect her choice, thank you Auntie for taking care of me before, I will not contact Angel again in the future." ”

"Anxi, listen to your aunt ......"

"I'm sorry, I feel a little stuffy, go out and breathe, Auntie, go see Angel." ”

After speaking, Huo Anxi bowed slightly and walked out of the banquet hall with an indifferent smile.

The air conditioning in the banquet hall was too full, Huo Anxi pedaled a pair of five-inch high heels, and walked slowly in the garden at the entrance of the hotel.

The mobile phone vibrated in the silver clutch, Huo Anxi took it out and took a look, and found that it was Zhou Xincheng.

Huo Anxi was in a trance for a moment, and she found that she would automatically think of Fu Jingzhi, the man who had just been rejected by myself not long ago.

She hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

As soon as the phone rang, Zhou Xincheng's voice came impatiently, "Anxi, where are you? Are you with Jingzhi now? I called him a lot of calls and couldn't get through, you give him the phone, hahaha, I'm very happy now, let's have lunch together!"

"I can't eat it. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm in City A right now, and I'm not with him. ”

"Damn, why did you suddenly go back to City A, didn't you eat well before?

Zhou Xincheng felt that his inference was very reasonable, otherwise it would be impossible for Fu Jingzhi not to answer his phone and not reply to his messages.

"Nope. Huo Anxi was inexplicably a little depressed, she tried to restrain herself from thinking about his lonely face a few hours ago, as if she wanted to prove something, she pulled the corners of her lips on the phone, and said casually: "We didn't quarrel, his mobile phone may be out of battery, I have an urgent need to go back to City A." ”

Zhou Xincheng was skeptical, "What's the urgency?"

Huo Anxi clenched the bag in his hand, "Blind date." ”

"Blind date?" Zhou Xincheng almost doubted his ears, obviously a few hours ago he felt that Fu Jingzhi and Huo Anxi were ambiguous, "I don't believe it." ”

Huo Anxi's answer was to hang up the phone directly, and then took a selfie, > Why would she do this?

Because she knew that Zhou Xincheng would definitely tell Fu Jingzhi.

just rejected his confession, and immediately ran back on a blind date, her attitude is decisive and resolute, right?

Long pain is better than short pain, she cut off all the charming possibilities in a chic and neat way when his feelings were just budding, just hoping that he will not have to be sad in the future.

But why?

It was she who was up and down, and at this moment, her heart was like a layer of wet facial paper, and it was she who was breathing sadly.
