Chapter 42: Despised

Qiao Ruoqing propped her elbows on the table and pinched the bridge of her nose.

It's okay to take this opportunity to see the old man, and some things happen to be on the agenda.

When leaving the company in the afternoon, Qiao Ruoqing saw Huo Jingyuan's car parked at the door of the company.

Out of politeness, she walked over to say hello, but as soon as she arrived at the door, the co-pilot's door was opened.

She didn't quite understand what this meant, so she bent down and asked, "Brother Huo, are you here to find someone?" ”

Huo Jingyuan turned his head sideways and glanced at her.

I don't know why, it's obvious that Qiao Ruoqing is very smart, but he always thinks that she doesn't have a high IQ.

"Get in the car." He said in a low voice.

Qiao Ruoqing was stunned and got into the car, "You won't be looking for me, will you?" ”

"Hmm." Huo Jingyuan's answer was very concise, and then he started the car.

Qiao Ruoqing puffed out her cheeks in the rearview mirror.

Huo Jingyuan actually came to her specifically? Why?

After waiting for a while, seeing that Huo Jingyuan didn't mean to speak, Qiao Ruoqing finally couldn't help it, and opened her mouth first: "Brother Huo, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Eat."

“……”

It's really concise!

Huo Jingyuan ordered a private room for private dishes, obviously there were only two people, but he ordered a medium bag, and after they sat down, there were several empty seats, which seemed a little empty.

Originally, Qiao Ruoqing was still thinking about whether someone else hadn't come yet, but when she saw the only two pairs of cutlery on the table, she knew that she was thinking too much.

"Brother Huo......"

"This is my work plan for Huatian in the next six months, you can take a look." Without waiting for Qiao Ruoqing to finish speaking, Huo Jingyuan put a document in front of Qiao Ruoqing.

Looking at the black folder in front of her, Qiao Ruoqing felt a little magical.

What kind of fairy speed is this? Huo Jingyuan only read the company's report on Saturday, and today is only Monday......

"Brother Huo, you're bothered." Qiao Ruoqing smiled and said very sincerely.

Huo Jingyuan took a sip of tea, put his left hand on the back of the chair, the lines were winding, and he sat sideways and looked at her.

Being stared at unnaturally, Qiao Ruoqing rolled her eyes, picked up the document and looked at it.

As if he was afraid that she wouldn't understand, Huo Jingyuan gave a signpost next to him: "Ask me if you don't understand." ”

"......" Qiao Ruoqing felt as if she was despised.

However, after thinking carefully about the conversation between the two in the Huo family's study that day, as well as Huo Jingyuan's prestige and status in the industry, Qiao Ruoqing felt that it was not a shame to be despised by him, so she honestly said "oh".

When Qiao Ruoqing looked at the work plan, Huo Jingyuan ordered.

The speed of serving the food here is relatively fast, and Qiao Ruoqing has not finished reading the documents, so they have all the dishes.

At noon, because she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to eat lunch, and she was busy in the afternoon, her stomach was empty, and there was nothing except two cups of coffee, and when she smelled the aroma of the food, she immediately closed the document and picked up the chopsticks, "Let's eat first, talk while eating......"

Who knows, before the chopsticks reached into the plate, they were caught by Huo Jingyuan's chopsticks.

She originally thought it was an accident, so she wanted to pull out her chopsticks, but found that no matter how she smoked, the chopsticks were firmly clamped by Huo Jingyuan.

Motionless.

Looking at the indifferent man next to him, Qiao Ruoqing's eyes were full of doubts, "Brother Huo, what's wrong?" ”

Huo Jingyuan's expression was still indifferent, and he glanced at the document that she had just put aside, "I'll finish reading it first, and then I'll eat after I'm done with my work." ”

Qiao Ruoqing blinked, a little dazed.

How do you feel like you're in school?

It's been five or six years since she's graduated, okay? She's twenty-eight now, okay? Why do you have to be taken care of even when you eat?

She was not convinced, straightened her back and wanted to resist, but as soon as she saw the glacier-like expression on Huo Jingyuan's face, her momentum weakened by three points, like a little tiger who had not yet learned to hunt, and spoke in a soft tone: "But I'm hungry......"

"Then you'll have to look at the documents first." Putting down the chopsticks, Huo Jingyuan asked, "Don't want to take revenge?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing exhaled a long breath and honestly put the chopsticks back on the chopstick rest.

Who told her to take revenge? Who made her suffer persecution in her previous life?

If you don't eat, don't eat, if you're hungry, you're hungry......

Seeing Qiao Ruoqing reopen the file, Huo Jingyuan pulled the corners of his lips with satisfaction, and slowly put a bowl of soup in front of her.

Qiao Ruoqing, who was originally extremely focused, wrinkled her nose when she heard the smell of soup, raised her head and glared at Huo Jingyuan dissatisfiedly, "You did it on purpose!" ”

Hearing that she was a little angry, Huo Jingyuan felt in a good mood, nodded and admitted, and gave a very lofty reason: "Test your concentration." ”

"...... "Who are these people!"

The milk fiercely glanced at him, Qiao Ruoqing moved the bowl of steaming soup farther away, and entered the working state again with difficulty.

Finally, I finished reading the information, and I asked Huo Jingyuan all the things I didn't understand, and Huo Jingyuan patiently answered them one by one.

Closing the file and putting it aside, Qiao Ruoqing stretched her waist, feeling extremely comfortable, and let out a creeping moan, "Great, I can finally eat!" ”

As he spoke, he already had chopsticks in his hand.

Huo Jingyuan took down the chopsticks she had just held in her hand, and handed the bowl of soup that was originally served to her into her hand, "Drink the soup first." ”

Qiao Ruoqing pursed her lips.

That's a lot.

I muttered in my heart, but I still did it and drank the soup first.

She was really hungry, and the soup was lukewarm, and just in time for her mouth, she tilted her neck and poured the whole bowl of soup into her stomach, and it was very hearty.

After eating, the two had just come out of the private room and happened to bump into a person head-on.

Wu Shan saw Huo Jingyuan and Qiao Ruoqing, she was slightly stunned for two seconds, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, looking very well-behaved and pleasing, "Jingyuan, Miss Qiao, are you also eating here?" ”

Huo Jingyuan didn't pay attention, Qiao Ruoqing saw him so cold, afraid that Wu Shan would feel embarrassed, so he replied with a smile: "Yes, you are also here?" What a coincidence! ”

"yes." Wu Shan replied and asked, "It's just the two of you?" ”

This time Huo Jingyuan wanted to speak, but Qiao Ruoqing didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and decisively denied it: "No! ”

Huo Jingyuan looked at the girl beside him, but saw Qiao Ruoqing pointing to the private room behind him with a calm expression, "How can two people order a package?" Isn't that a lack of heart? ”

Huo Jingyuan raised his eyebrows.

Not noticing his expression, Qiao Ruoqing continued to make up nonsense: "A friend's bureau, the ...... that Brother Huo and I met here"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Huo Jingyuan, "Brother Huo, right?" ”

Huo Jingyuan tugged at the corners of his lips and didn't say anything.

Qiao Ruoqing was a little embarrassed and looked at Wu Shan, "Brother Huo is so cold!" Sure enough, I can't laugh in front of anyone! Or Miss Wu has a better relationship with Brother Huo! ”

Reading between the lines, every sentence seems to be saying: I don't know him well, I don't have any contact with him in private, we met by chance!

Huo Jingyuan felt awkward, and pulled Qiao Ruoqing's wrist, "Let's go." ”

Then, as if no one was around, he dragged people out of the restaurant.

Looking at the backs of the two getting farther and farther apart, the smile on Wu Shan's face gradually faded.

Until she got into the car, Qiao Ruoqing still felt confused, "Brother Huo, why are you so cold to Miss Wu?" Haven't you known each other for a long time? ”

Huo Jingyuan didn't say anything, and started the car by himself.

"Didn't Aunt Tang say last time that Miss Wu would visit her and her uncle every time she returned to China? Then you didn't give face to others like that just now, and you didn't tell anyone a word, and you ......."

Looking down at the red marks on her white wrist, she felt a little aggrieved.

What if Wu Shan misunderstood? She doesn't want to be a third party in someone else's emotional world.

In that case, what is the difference with Qiao Ruolan?

Along the way, Huo Jingyuan was surprisingly quiet, although he usually didn't talk much, but tonight, he seemed to have very few words.

Even when he arrived at the door of Qiao's villa, he just stopped the car and didn't say a word.

Qiao Ruoqing opened the car door, and a heat wave rushed towards her, and she frowned.

"It's so hot!" She said that she had just gotten out of the car, and she wanted to say "goodbye" to Huo Jingyuan, and then thank him for inviting herself to dinner tonight, sending herself back and making plans for the company.

But before she even had time to open her mouth and raise her hand, Huo Jingyuan had already reversed and left quickly.

Qiao Ruoqing stood in place, looking at the gradually disappearing taillights, a little confused.

What's going on? Isn't it okay when you eat? Why are you so unhappy now?

Could it be that the legendary aunt is here?

But she didn't care about it so much, she was tired today, and now she just wanted to go back to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

After taking a shower and being blowing her hair, the phone on the dresser kept vibrating, making a series of "buzzing" sounds.

Seeing that it was a video call sent by Shi Shi, Qiao Ruoqing turned off the hair dryer and picked up the video.

Shi Shi was wearing a mask over there, and her face was covered under a thin silk mask, but she could also see her facial features clearly.

Glancing at the camera, Shi Shi didn't dare to speak too much, so her voice was a little vague: "Ruoqing, what are you doing?" I forgot to ask you in the company today, what is Song Mingyuan looking for you? ”

"That's why you're asking this?" Qiao Ruoqing cut her hair.

Her hair is relatively long, almost up to her waist, so it is not very convenient to comb one hand, so she simply stood her phone in front of the makeup mirror and freed her hand.

Shi Shi rolled her eyes, "Isn't it for this?" I've been nervous today, and I always feel that Song Mingyuan is not looking for you to do anything good......"

Qiao Ruoqing smiled, "It's a good thing, he asked me to go to his grandfather's birthday party." ”

After a pause, he added: "The old man is very good to me." ”

As soon as she heard this, Shi Shi immediately sensed something, and her eyes widened instantly, "Isn't it?" Ruoqing, I listen to what you mean, are you going? It's the Song family's birthday party, aren't you afraid that they will bully you? ”
