Chapter 105: The Return of the Dead
"It's something that is personal to me, and it has nothing to do with business. Huo Jingchen's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any ups and downs in his tone at all.
"A personal matter, I heard that you recently met a girl?"
Huo Jingchen's dark eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't change his lazy posture after hearing this, and he didn't seem surprised to hear his mother ask, but just said "um" very calmly.
When Chu ** heard him answer, his tone immediately became excited, and the core questions were thrown one by one, "Achen, where is that girl from? What is her background? When will you bring it back to show your family?"
Huo Jingchen laughed silently when he heard his mother ask so urgently, "It's too early to say anything else, she hasn't thought about it yet, and when she thinks about it, you will definitely have the opportunity to meet and get to know each other." ”
"Okay, you're not young anymore, if you really don't look down on the two daughters of the Li family, I won't force you, but there is one, the one you fancy must be a lot better than the two of the Li family, otherwise I have no place to put my old face, you look at Zhou Qiao Fangfei, who is about the same age as you, and is as picky as you, and has been dragging it out, looking for a granddaughter of Commander Xia, and now his son is about to be full moon, yesterday I received the Zhou family's full moon wine wedding card, I envy that I haven't slept all night, oh yes, I actually received a call from Rong Rong today, this child is still as polite as when he was studying, alas, if you hadn't broken up at the beginningNow I can get over the addiction of being a grandmother......"
Chu ** chattered endlessly on the other end of the phone, looking like a loving mother who hated iron but not steel, which made Huo Jingchen on the phone a little crying and laughing, but when he heard the name "Rong Rong", his brows still wrinkled, and he had to open his mouth to interrupt his mother's nagging, "Mom, if there is nothing else, I will hang up the phone first, and I will attend a few meetings tomorrow morning." ”
Hearing him say this, Chu ** paused, and only said tentatively after a while, "Son, do you really think of that girl?"
"I did. Huo Jingchen replied very simply.
Chu ** sighed, "Okay, it's up to you, you can take care of it yourself." ”
"Hmm. ”
Hanging up the phone, Huo Jingchen put down the phone, his expression was a little unpredictable: Rong Rong...... The grandniece and granddaughter of the wife of the last generation of Truman's family, since the kidnapping case was exposed, she was protected by Truman's people, and now she suddenly called his mother, it seems that some people are delusional again...... Thinking of this, he sighed, reached out and turned off the light, ready to sleep.
I don't know what time it was, but Kellyseet's ethereal voice sang in the room over and over again—

Fingers grabbed the mobile phone from the bedside table, and the light on the mobile phone, when he saw the caller number clearly, the drowsiness disappeared, and he immediately clicked on, "Ah Yan?"
It was three o'clock in the morning at this time, Huo Jingyan was drunk and drove the car and responded cynically to the car phone, "Big brother didn't expect me to call you at this time, right?"
Huo Jingchen sat up, stretched out his hand to turn on the light, and looked at the phone, his voice tried his best to remain gentle and calm, "Well, are you drinking?"
"Big brother is big brother, you know that I'm drinking when you hear the voice," Huo Jingyan laughed a little penetrating, and it took a while to stop laughing, and the conversation changed, "However, big brother is so good at guessing people's hearts, can you guess who I drank with?"
Huo Jingchen frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Yan, if you drink too much, let the driver pick you up and go home early to rest, in case you let your mother know, she will be worried." ”
"Worried?" Huo Jingyan glanced at the charming woman in the back seat of the car who was very quiet after being drunk, and couldn't help laughing, "If Mom knows who I'm drinking with, or who I'm back, it's too late to be happy, why would she be worried?"
I don't know why, hearing my brother say this, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, just wanted to ask his brother who he was with, just waited until the doorbell outside the door was ringing, and the familiar doorbell rang on the other side of the phone and the sound of Huo Jingyan shouting the door, "Big brother, open the door quickly, we are already at your door......"
For some reason, Lin Zien, who was asleep, suddenly woke up at three o'clock in the morning, and then it was difficult to fall asleep, tossing and turning until dawn.
I didn't sleep well, and when I got up to wash, I saw a faint bruise on the bottom of my eyes in the mirror.
The nanny who asked for leave for days finally went to work normally, in order to make up for the deficit of many days, this breakfast was prepared especially richly, but Lin Zien was depressed and had no appetite, so he was ready to go to work after a few simple bites.
When she opened the door, it was empty outside the door, and she didn't see Huo Jingchen's car, so she couldn't hold back her disappointment.
It seems that getting used to this thing, once you get it, is really terrible.
With a sigh, she opened the garage to take out her car.
"Zien!" A voice sounded behind her, startling her, and when she turned around, she saw Huo Jingyan standing behind her, looking at her with a lonely face, she didn't notice him here just now, and she really didn't see a car outside the gate.
"So early?" Seeing that his face was not good, he suddenly remembered the embarrassing scene yesterday morning, Lin Zien explained intentionally or unintentionally, "That, yesterday morning ......"
Without waiting for Lin Zien to finish speaking, Huo Jingyan unexpectedly interrupted her, "I wasn't angry for breakfast yesterday, you, did you eat breakfast?"
"I've eaten, the nanny came back to work early this morning, what about you, did you have breakfast? Lin Zien's attitude was the same as before, and his tone was as casual as an old friend.
Huo Jingyan's expression softened a little. "No, I'm not hungry. ”
"Huo Jingyan, your habit of skipping breakfast hasn't changed. By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, have you negotiated a Bordeaux winery, and besides, it seems that your mountaineering club has an event every year at this time, so why aren't you going to the United States this year?"
"I didn't want to go to the event, but the winery also talked about it. Huo Jingyan seemed to have something to say, but he was embarrassed to say it, lowered his head, and felt that there was a thin rain outside falling on his neck, slightly cool and damp.
Lin Zien seemed to notice his abnormality, "You, do you have something to say?"
"Well, okay," Huo Jingyan opened his mouth without a tail, and hesitated for a while before saying at a very fast speed, "I went to my eldest brother's residence in the early hours of the morning, originally accompanied by a friend, maybe I drank too much...... Anyway, I don't know what's going on, I can't remember what he said at the time, I don't remember what I said, I remember that I was drunk, and then ...... My eldest brother and I seem to have had some unpleasant trouble. ”
Lin Zien only understood that Huo Jingchen had an unpleasant relationship with Huo Jingyan after he left last night
Their conversation was not loud, but the rain grew louder.
Seeing that Lin Zien didn't speak, Huo Jingyan laughed self-deprecatingly and wryly, "Do you think I'm impulsive?" Yes, since I was a child, I always had dependence and inexplicable impulses in front of my eldest brother, but I was really because last night, okay, let me be honest, in addition to drinking too much, I was dissatisfied with some things, Zien...... Do you know my big brother? Do you really know my big brother?"
Lin Zien didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he smiled, "Huo Jingyan, your spirit is not very good, it looks like a lack of sleep, it's better to go back and rest first, I have to have a meeting with Lu Qi today, and when I am busy contacting you, we will talk about it if there is anything, okay?"
Huo Jingyan was a little surprised by Lin Zien's change of topic, he thought that she would ask him curiously, because he noticed that Lin Zien and the eldest brother seemed to be more than what he saw, or rather, it was not so simple, otherwise, the eldest brother would not have appeared at her house so early yesterday morning...... But Lin Zien had no intention of answering at all.
Lin Zien was keenly aware of the change in Huo Jingyan's attitude towards her, and seemed to be a little homesick.
Huo Jingyan knew that she couldn't hide it, Lin Zien didn't want to see people too thoroughly when she realized it later, she understood some things at a glance, but she didn't say anything.
As long as things are not explained, there is room for maneuver, and this truth is not something that everyone can understand, and if they understand it, they may not be able to do it. He was too transparent in front of her just now. She understood that he wanted to lead her to suspect her eldest brother, but he didn't break it, and she probably only thought it was ridiculous in her heart.
But sometimes it's sad to be too smart. She saw through the hypocrisy and glitz of this world, and probably nothing could move her.
Lin Zien smiled, took out the car keys, and asked again with a natural expression, "Huo Jingyan, it's really not early, if you want, let's leave together?"
Huo Jingyan knew that she was going to have a regular meeting today, so she had to nod.
Seeing Lin Zien open the car door and sit in the driver's seat, he bowed slightly at him and drove away, he waved his hand to her.
Lin Zien's car drove slowly in front, and through the rearview mirror, he saw Huo Jingyan's car driving out from behind a half-demolished wall, no wonder he didn't see his car just now. She shook her head, she didn't know how Huo Jingchen was doing now, Huo Jingyan could say that, the unpleasantness that happened last night should be quite unpleasant.
Looking at the time, it's almost eight o'clock, it seems that she should make a phone call, right? She hesitated, then slowly pulled the car over the side of the road, just took out her mobile phone, the number seemed to be in her mind, without thinking, just in front of her one by one to press out and dial out.
Kellyseet's singing voice rang softly in her ears.
After listening to it three times, finally, a lazy female voice answered the phone, "Hey, who are you?"
