The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.

It was as if an invisible flame exploded and crackled between the tall two.

Qiao Yu took a step forward, leaned over Huo Beixiao, and said almost indifferently: "Huo Beixiao, don't forget what you did. It's you who gave up first, don't regret it later, the child is mine. You'd better stay away from them. ”

"Qiao Yu!" Xia Nuanxin pulled Qiao Yu's arm and frowned, "Chenchen is sleepy, you take him in to sleep first." ”

Qiao Yu wanted to say something more, but was stuffed into the gate by Xia Nuanxin.

Huo ...... Mr. I'm sorry. Thank you today. ”

After speaking, Xia Nuanxin glanced at Huo Beixiao deeply again, and followed Qiao Yu into the gate.

For a while, Huo Beixiao was the only one left outside the door, and in the cold wind, Huo Beixiao's expression was completely cold to the bottom.

"Fourth master, the bank called, saying that the contract can be prepared tomorrow." Assistant Yang took his mobile phone and hurriedly came out of the door.

Huo Beixiao nodded coldly: "Book a ticket and go back to Ruancheng." ”

Assistant Yang was stunned: "Now? ”

Huo Beixiao didn't look back: "The earliest class." ”

Assistant Yang saw that Huo Beixiao's expression was not good, so he didn't dare to ask more, but only agreed. He looked at Huo Beixiao's disappearing back with a complicated expression, and sighed helplessly.

Early the next morning, Xia Nuanxin took Chenchen downstairs for breakfast after washing. The bustling lobby was full of people, all of whom were close relatives of the Huang family dressed in black linen.

As Xia Dongcheng's daughter, Xia Nuanxin was also forced to wear a sackcloth by Qiu Yating, and even Chenchen also wore a hemp armband on his arm.

Xia Nuanxin fed Chenchen while patrolling the audience with his eyes.

When she looked back and forth through the people in the venue, she still couldn't find the shadow she could recognize with her eyes closed.

Huo Beixiao is gone?

At this moment, Qiu Yating took a bowl of porridge to deal with the new guests, and walked over to Xia Nuanxin's table.

Xia Nuanxin observed that Qiu Yating's face was not very good, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiu Yating sighed silently: "Almost all of Huang Lao's property has been donated to the country. ”

"Grandpa Huang's property, naturally he is in charge, why is your face so ugly?"

Qiu Yating shook her head helplessly: "That also includes the part of the shares that injected into our NuanHeart." ”

Xia Nuanxin suddenly gasped: "You mean, the state will ask us to take away the money that Grandpa Huang invested in our company back then?" ”

Qiu Yating nodded with a pale face.

"Our funding, or is there a problem?"

"Over the years, we have returned some funds. Theoretically, it is already profitable. Just ......"

It's just that NuanHeart has just taken over a new business project.

After Huang Qiming's funeral, Qiu Yating took Xia Nuanxin and Chenchen and got on the return plane.

Qiao Yu could only stay in Philadelphia for one more day because he wanted to meet with relevant business leaders instead of Qiao Huifeng, so he did not book the same return flight with them.

On the plane, after Chenchen fell asleep, Qiu Yating briefly analyzed the company's trend in the past few years and Xia Nuanxin.

In short, although the company did not lose money, it did not make much profit.

"Because, David Edmond divested."

Xia Nuan was incredulous: "He has so many shares, he will withdraw when he says so?" ”

"He was very close to Mo Yixuan a few years ago. I don't know what Mo Yixuan promised him, so Edmund plans to sell all the shares in his hand. At that time, the company happened to have money on hand, and for the sake of stability, I thought about buying more shares back. So he bought a majority stake in Edmund's hands...... Who knows......"

Who knows, after David Edmond withdrew his investment, many retail investors who had a good relationship with him also sold their stocks, causing NuanHeart's stock price to plummet.

Therefore, although Qiu Yating took back the equity, she still lost a lot of money. It is equivalent to losing all the profits that were hard to obtain.

Three years have passed, and the company has finally stabilized again, and I met Huang Lao again......

"There will be a serious problem with funding?" Xia Nuanxin said, "What if...... What if you don't take on that new project? ”

Qiu Yating shook her head: "The problem is that the contract has been signed, and if you regret it now, you will face an astronomical amount of liquidated damages." ”

"Who are the partners?"

Qiu Yating paused and glanced at Xia Nuanxin: "Huo's Group." ”

Xia Nuanxin was silent.

With her current relationship with Huo Beixiao, I'm afraid she won't be able to let him help anymore. So what about the company?

"Warm heart, are you still going back to the United States?"

Qiu Yating touched Chenchen's head lovingly, Chenchen slept very fragrantly, was touched, and arched her head into Xia Nuan's arms a little impatiently.

Xia Nuan was a little embarrassed.

It turned out that she was going to return to New York after attending Huang Qiming's funeral.

Because she loved the farm. Charlotte has also adapted to the American way of life. Xia Nuanxin is now in the ranch, and he is also a person who has spoken about the three earthquakes of the ranch.

Richard even said that when he retired in a few years, he would recommend himself to Catherine and make her the head of the entire ranch. This is undoubtedly very tempting for Xia Nuanxin.

She didn't just stay so far away just because she escaped Huo Beixiao, she already had a strong affection for that ranch.

But now......

Xia Nuanxin glanced sideways at Qiu Yating.

It turned out that Qiu Yating, who was young and energetic, was a little old unconsciously.

Five years have left no traces on the young Xia Nuanxin's face. But Qiu Yating's temples are already white. The wrinkles on her face were getting deeper and deeper, and she could already see that she was a woman of some age.

Xia Nuan felt a little guilty in her heart.

She sighed and said, "Mom, let me think about it." ”

Huo Beixiao took the first flight of the day, and when everyone was still condolences to Huang Lao, he had already finished saying goodbye and boarded the plane back to Ruancheng.

The president and secretary general of the bank have prepared documents waiting for Huo Beixiao to sign.

Huo Beixiao took a group of legal advisers and financial consultants, and stayed in the bank for a whole afternoon before finally signing all the signatures and the payment for the land in Gaoqiao was completely implemented.

As soon as I got out of the bank building, the mobile phone in my pocket rang.

Huo Beixiao took out his mobile phone: "Hey, An An?" ”

"Brother Xiao, do you know what day it is?" Murong An's voice was full of coquettishness.

Huo Beixiao smiled: "I know, wait for me at home." ”

When he put his phone back in his pocket, he suddenly felt a long, hard thing in his pocket.

Huo Beixiao escaped in wonder, but it was a small sugar man in a transparent plastic bag...... It was the one that Chenchen bought at the little sugar man stall that day.

How is he here?

Huo Beixiao thought about it, it should have been that Tianchenchen fell asleep, and Huo Beixiao fell into his pocket when he hugged him at the beginning. He didn't care much about it, he wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he put it back in his pocket.

Today is Murong An's twenty-fifth birthday.

Huo Beixiao thought about it, this year, Xia Nuanxin should also be twenty-five or sixteen......

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, five years.

The theater was brightly lit, and Sister-in-law Lin had already prepared a table of dishes and was calling the cake shop to inform them that they could send the cake.

Murong An is wearing a snow-white princess dress today, with exquisite makeup, and the whole person is glowing with a different kind of brilliance.

As soon as she saw Huo Beixiao enter the door, she couldn't help but greet him happily.

"The contract is finished?" Murong An asked, took off Huo Beixiao's coat casually, and hung it on the hanger by the door.

Huo Beixiao replied in a low voice, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and strode towards the restaurant.

"Brother Xiao, what gift can I get this year?" Murong An walked in behind Huo Beixiao, smiling brightly.

The quarrel five years ago made Huo Beixiao more or less compromise with Murong An. Murong An said that she didn't ask for much, just Huo Beixiao's occasional concern.

She could wait until Huo Beixiao changed his mind and no longer regarded her as a sister.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, even Huo Beixiao, at that moment, he couldn't tell whether he was moved or something else in his heart. In a daze, he agreed to Murong An's request.

and promised that he would accompany Murong An on his birthday every year in the future. And in the past five years, he has not missed an appointment once.

Murong An seemed to see hope.

Murong An blew out the candles, made a wish, cut the cake, spread his hands, and raised his eyebrows at Huo Beixiao: "Brother Xiao, where is the gift?" ”

Huo Beixiao glanced at Murong An helplessly, and pointed out the door: "In the pocket." Go get it yourself. ”

Murong An grinned, trotted out, and before he could get to the hanger, he heard Huo Beixiao's mobile phone ringtone.

"Brother Xiao, your phone ......"

Murong An put his hand into his pocket and took out a delicate box, inside was a limited-edition color/gold bracelet that Murong An had been reading for a long time, and Murong An smiled happily.

She reached into another pocket, ready to give her mobile phone to Huo Beixiao, who had already slowly paced out of the restaurant.

When handing Huo Beixiao's mobile phone, Murong An glanced at it casually......

The three words Xia Nuanxin were beating happily on the screen......

The smile on Murong An's face suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Huo Beixiao didn't know why, took the phone and looked at it, and instantly frowned.

He turned his back, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the phone: "Hey? ”

Huo ...... Huo Beixiao? Xia Nuanxin's voice was nervous.

"Well, something?"

You still need to ask him if he is Huo Beixiao? Could it be that this woman couldn't even hear his voice? A trace of anger flashed on Huo Beixiao's face.

Huo Beixiao frowned, and heard the child's cry from Xia Nuanxin's side.

"Sorry to bother you so late...... I want to ask you, that day, the little candy man we bought with Chenchen, do you remember? ”

Huo Beixiao turned around and looked at it indifferently: "Yes, it's with me." ”

Xia Nuanxin's voice was anxious: "That...... So is it convenient for you now? Can I go up to you and get it back? Chenchen found out that the little sugar man was missing today, and he kept crying, no matter how he coaxed him. ”

"Where do you live? I'll send it to you. ”

As soon as she heard Huo Beixiao's answer, Murong An's expression suddenly fell, and she pursed her lips and asked, "Sister Xin, ...... Coming back? ”
