If it weren't for Huo Yinghao's phone call urging her to go back to class, Qiao Man would probably have stayed in place for a while.

After the English class, I went down to drink tea, and the landline in the living room rang.

The butler answered the phone and handed over the microphone with a smile.

Qiao Man raised his eyes and glanced lightly: "What's the matter? Who called?"

The housekeeper blinked and whispered, "Sanshao, please answer the phone." ”

Qiao Man twisted his eyebrows, obviously not believing it, Huo Yingqi didn't have her mobile phone number, and besides, the two had only been separated for a short time, how could they call?

After a pause, she still walked over and grabbed the phone and put it to her ear: "Hello?"

"Qiao Man, you go to my study table and get a blue folder, and come to my company immediately. ”

"Huh?" she was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

Even if the folder is left at home, the secretary does it, doesn't it?

"Time is urgent, you immediately take a taxi to Huo's Building. "Ka, the phone just hung up over there.

Qiao Man came back to his senses from the shock.

Before she had time to think about it, she quickly went to the study to pick up the folder, and stopped a taxi to rush over.

The road was quite smooth, and soon arrived at the Huo Building, she explained the situation to the staff at the front desk on the first floor, and the enchanting little secretary didn't know who to call to ask, but he was very polite on the surface, but his eyes were full of contempt and smiled at her: "Please wait a moment, Xu Tezhu will come down soon." ”

After a while, I saw a man who looked like Sven and was about thirty years old coming out of the elevator, and when he saw her standing in the lobby on the first floor, he slowly walked towards her, "Miss Qiao, is it? ”

"It's okay, this is the folder that President Huo wants, you can bring it to him." ”

"That's right, Miss Qiao, Mr. Huo was indeed waiting for you just now, but at this moment, he attended a high-level meeting, and before he went in, he said that he wanted you to wait for him in his office. Xu Tezhu said with a light smile.

"What do I need to stay and do?" Qiao Man felt full of questions.

"I don't know the specifics, but since President Huo has this suggestion, he naturally has his plans, so I implore Miss Qiao not to make it difficult for us, and wait for him to come back before ......."

"When can he dismiss?"

Xu Tezhu paused and said, "Although today's meeting is very important, it will not be too long. ”

Qiao Man nodded: "Then I'll wait for him in his office." ”

Qiao Man was led into the president's office by Xu Tezhu.

The office is in cool colors, mainly black, and at first glance it looks like a man's room, without the slightest soft lines.

There wasn't much on the table, the papers were grouped on top of the long table on the side, and to the left of the table was a large and bright floor-to-ceiling window, which illuminated the room.

Qiao Man walked over, stood by the window and looked into the distance, taking in the bustling street scene.

"Miss Qiao, please have tea. ”

Seeing Xu Tezhu come in with tea, she smiled politely, retreated to the sofa where the guest was sitting, and sat down dignifiedly.

"Please sit down for a moment, the meeting is halfway through and will adjourn soon. ”

"Okay, Xu Te will help you get busy, I'll wait here. ”

"Then I'll send the papers to the conference room first. ”

The room fell silent, there was nothing else to do, and the brain began to wander again.

She couldn't help but wonder what it was like to be when Fok Yingqi stood here, watching the city be bustling with traffic, sitting on most of the business and wealth in the city.

must be extremely proud, she can almost imagine Huo Yingqi is very cool.

Thinking about it, she burst out laughing.

After drinking tea for a while, and still not seeing Huo Yingqi come back, Qiao Man stood up and took two steps, feeling that his stomach was full of water.

She opened the door a little embarrassed, glanced around, and found that Xu Tezhu was not there, but there was a female secretary in a red dress in the secretary's room.

Finding that Qiao Man was looking at him, the female secretary didn't greet him with a smile, but just glanced at it lightly, and her eyes returned to the computer.

Qiao Man had no choice but to walk over and ask in a low voice, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?"

The female secretary looked over at this time and found that Qiao Man was just dressed up simply, and she didn't even have a decent brand bag, so she was a little scoffed.

"Oh, it's a bit far, walk over here, turn right and turn right again, it's in the corner. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

Qiao Man naturally felt the contempt of the female secretary, she didn't care, and walked quickly towards the bathroom.

After turning a corner, she noticed that there was a bathroom on her left-hand side, and she didn't really need to go that far.

After solving her personal problems, she washed her hands and went out.

Unexpectedly, she heard someone chatting in the pantry next door, she was not a person who liked to gossip, but the laughter was so loud that she had to listen to it all.

"That dirt bun, I don't know which company it is, I actually thought that the president would look at her more. ”

"I just sent the materials over, and I also deliberately passed by the president's office and took a sneak peek, which is really shabby. ”

"It's just ridiculous. ”

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but when I walked to the door of the president's room, I heard the landline ringing non-stop, but still no one answered, and it was not very appropriate to answer it myself, so I endured it, Qiao Man still took a few steps back and shouted in the direction of the pantry: "The phone is ringing." ”

Several women came out of the pantry and glanced at Qiao Man with different expressions, and the female secretary in red quickly went to answer the phone.

I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but I saw the female secretary say in English a little anxiously: "They are all going to the meeting, there is no French translator for the time being, can you speak Chinese or English?"

Qiao Man walked over and said softly, "Press the hands-free button, and I'll help you." ”

The female secretary nodded embarrassedly and said "thank you" softly.

After doing a good job, Qiao Man didn't stay long and went straight back to the president's office.

After another hour, when Fok Yingqi came out after the meeting, he completely forgot about the appointment with Qiao Man, and left Ben Thanh by private jet on the roof of the Fok Building.

It's just that poor Qiao Man waited left and right and didn't see anyone coming, the female secretary left directly after work, and everyone forgot her in the office.

He also said that the meeting was very short and was about to end, and the result was like kraft candy, which became longer and longer. ”

Qiao Man muttered, pulled the trench coat on his body, and leaned back on the sofa to close his eyes and recuperate.

The temperature in the room was very pleasant, and she didn't expect to fall asleep like this.

……

In fact, when the meeting was about to end, Fok Yingqi received a call from his mother.

This time when he returned to China, he came back alone, and his mother Ye Minjuan still stayed in Australia.

Father Huo Yuanhang is as his name suggests, he doesn't know which country he sails in, and it is rare to come back to see their mother and son for a year or even three or four years.

When he was very young, Huo Yingqi knew that there was not too much affection between his parents.

It was originally an economic marriage, although the man was talented and the woman was good-looking, but he was absent-minded, even if he had been married for more than 20 years, he had very little time to get along, even if his mother gave birth to Huo Yingqi, his father did not have much memory.

Rather than saying that the father's heart is all over the world, it is better to honestly admit that the father's heart is in his first love.

Therefore, Huo Yingqi and his father, in addition to the constant blood and blood relationship, do not have too deep father-son feelings.

Although the matter of marriage is just an expedient measure, Huo Yingqi is a filial son, and he is really happy to get married, so he shared the good news with his mother as soon as possible.

When he returned to the company from the Civil Affairs Bureau, the first thing he did after entering the office was to take a photo of the marriage registration of the two people and send it to his mother's WeChat.

Unexpectedly, my mother suddenly became ill and was sent to the hospital.

The caregiver at home said that the old woman was looking at her mobile phone and suddenly fainted on the ground.

Huo Yingqi blamed himself very much, thinking that it was his own business that made his mother too excited to get sick.

On the plane, he methodically arranged everything in his hands for Xu Tezhu to do, and he was very worried and anxious.

When Huo Yingqi got off the plane and flew to the hospital, Ye Minjuan had just undergone heart bypass surgery and was lying in the intensive care unit.

The mother's body was full of cold mechanical instruments, and when she saw her favorite son coming, she couldn't move, and could only hold a weak smile at him.

It was at that moment that Huo Yingqi suddenly felt that his mother was really old.

Although it is well maintained, the spirit of the past has been lost.

He walked to the bedside, took his mother's pale hand, and called "Mom", his voice was a little choked.

Ye Minjuan looked at her son gently, as if he was a child.

"Mom, I'm sorry, my son shouldn't have left you alone in Australia. When the illness is cured, we will go back to Bincheng together - if you don't want to live in Huo's house, I will buy a villa by the sea, and I will move with you. ”

Huo Yingqi sighed, he knew that his mother was hospitalized this time because she looked at her mobile phone, perhaps, it was related to her father or someone from the Huo family.

The mother has a very hard life, she can't get love, at least she still has her son's love for her!

"It's okay, it's just that I suddenly had a little heart palpitation, and the doctor is afraid of the consequences, so I told you that it is very serious, don't worry too much. ”

"Mom, if you want something to eat now, I'll buy it. ”

Ye Minjuan shook her head weakly.

"If you don't eat it, you feel that everything you eat is light and tasteless, so it's better not to eat it. ”

"Okay, don't eat, you rest for a while, I'll be by the bedside to watch you. ”

Ye Minjuan's face became more and more pale, and she began to cough uncontrollably: "Ahem, Yingqi, ......"

"Mom, I'm here, you say. Huo Yingqi caressed her mother's back with concern, and poured half a cup of warm boiled water and handed it over.

I just asked the attending physician and said that my mother's condition is really bad, even very bad, and she must not be stimulated, and it is very likely that she will have another seizure.

Once it happens again, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as this time.

Now that I think about it, Huo Yingqi is not without fear.

"Mom is not afraid of getting sick, that is, there is a heart disease, and it can't be calmed down. ”

The bands of the electrocardiogram fluctuated until they formed a line, and the machine made a ticking alarm.

Huo Yingqi was startled, and hurriedly rang the bell, and the doctor in a white coat hurriedly ran in, and the quiet intensive care unit suddenly became noisy.

Seeing that the doctors and nurses were busy, Huo Yingqi was a little panicked, he got up and withdrew, standing alone in the silent corridor, smoking one after another.

I don't know how long it took for Ye Minjuan to get out of danger.

As soon as you open your eyes, you will see him.

Huo Yingqi knew that her mother had something to say to herself, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pass this level, so she wanted to explain the matter clearly at one time.

He wanted his mother to have a good rest, but he was afraid that his mother would be too anxious and excited, and it would be bad for his body.

So, this time, he finally compromised and listened patiently to his mother's words.

"Yingqi, how about me and your father for so many years, you should know very well that you are not a child now, and the matter between adults should not have let you get involved, but Mom's body is too broken now, and Mom has to transfer her hope to you. ”

"Mom, don't talk about it, I'll do whatever you're thinking. ”

"Mom hopes you will find the person in your father's heart soon. ”

"It's been so many years, and Dad hasn't gone to find that person, perhaps, it's long gone?"

"I'm gone, I want to see the tombstone, this breath, I've endured it all my life. ”

"Well, Mom, take good care of yourself, and we'll think about it in the long run when we go back to Bencheng. ”

"You should know that with the status of our Huo family today, it is easy to want a woman to disappear from this world. However, Mom doesn't want you to do that, and I can't do anything to hurt you. It's just that my mother wants to see this woman, and I want this woman to live a more miserable life than my mother, so my mother will feel at ease. ”

Probably said too many words in one breath, Ye Minjuan was a little overwhelmed, and began to breathe heavily, and it took a long time to calm down.

Huo Yingqi understands this psychology very well, and he can only follow his mother's wishes now.

He gently patted his mother's back and comforted: "Don't worry, I will find this person sooner, I will see people in life and graves in death." ”

Ye Minjuan nodded with satisfaction, and her breath calmed down a lot.

"About ...... Marriage, you don't think much about it?"

Hearing her mother ask, Huo Yingqi was taken aback, and immediately smiled and said, "Mom, when you go back to Bincheng and see her, you will know that this is a very cute girl." ”

"Better than anyone else?"

"Better than anyone else. ”

"Better than your mother?"

"Mom, don't say that, this means something different. ”

Ye Minjuan pursed her lips when she saw her smiling son in front of her, and didn't want to talk more.

She is also a person from the past, and she knows that her son has a deep love, and now, the more she opposes it, the more she will make the two of them like glue and do not want to separate.

She shouldn't do such a stupid thing.

"Do you remember the beginning, you were for that little star, I didn't agree when I saw it, and you quarreled with me when you came back. You also said that if I don't agree, you will move out and cut off the mother-son relationship with me. Do you know how sad I am when I watch you do that?" As she spoke, Ye Minjuan unconsciously wiped away her tears.

Huo Yingqi lowered his head, a pair of deep eyes, and the light flickered in the light and flickering.

"How long ago was this, what else are you going to say? Young and ignorant, ignorant of love, thinking that everything is her, she is everything, and now looking back, I am really stupid. ”

"Yes, you think this is your real daughter, maybe you will look back in a few years, and you may not be as good as that little star. ”

"She's different, that little star is for money, she's not. ”

"How do you know she's not? Which of the girls nowadays isn't a money worshipper?"

Huo Yingqi held his forehead with one hand, and for some reason, his temples jumped suddenly, feeling a little painful.

"At that time, the little star took the initiative to come to me, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was 300,000 yuan, saying that as long as I gave money, she would take the initiative to leave you. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Minjuan paused, and a look of disdain flashed on her face.

"It's only 300,000 yuan, our Huo family has a big business, and this little money is not in our eyes at all. I'm just distressed that my son's feelings are so cheap in her eyes. You cherish her so much, but she is trading with you......"

From beginning to end, Huo Yingqi listened quietly to his mother's chatter, he didn't speak, he didn't blink, but his well-versed eyes were not alarmed, so that people couldn't see the slightest emotion.

The mother chattered for a long time, and when she saw that her son did not react, she was a little frustrated.

Huo Yingqi took a breath and said, "Mom, don't worry, she is not that kind of person now, besides, the Huo family's status today, does it still need a woman's family background to add icing on the cake?"

Ye Minjuan smiled and patted her son's arm: "Is she as good as you say? ”

Huo Yingqi smiled: "Perhaps, it's better than what I said, and when you go back, you can see each other." ”

Hearing that her son was so determined, Ye Minjuan knew that it was useless to say more, she restrained the resentful gaze in her eyes, and said softly: "Raising a child is a hundred years old, and he is often worried about ninety-nine, where are there parents in this world who don't want their children to be good." Mom won't hurt you, Yingqi, as long as you're good, Mom is happier than anything else. ”

After a pause, Huo Yingqi still said: "Mom, after waiting for so many years, you are also tired, right? ”

Ye Minjuan was stunned, she didn't expect her son to be so comforted.

However, soon, she shook her head and smiled, "Actually, women are easily satisfied. ”

Her gaze was a little misty, as if she remembered something warm. Although Huo Yuanhang doesn't love her, he is very good to her, as long as he is at home, no matter how late it is, he will go home. Moreover, every time she celebrates her birthday, he will thoughtfully prepare a birthday banquet and give her exquisite birthday gifts to make her happy.

But it's not that there are still these small details, and the two of them will definitely not respect each other for so many years.

"Decades of husband and wife, we can't do without anyone. Love is just a luxury of life, whether there is it or not, that ordinary day is the same. ”

Fok Yingqi was silent.

The air in the room instantly became deathly silent, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Ye Minjuan's face was still pale, and her words became more and more weak.
