Chapter 23: Hiding from the World (14)

"Whatever you want."

He choked all my emotions with an impatient explanation.

What else can I do? He is kind enough to help me, so you can't be ungrateful, right? Do you have to be honest and explain everything?

I didn't have that courage.

After quitting Zhang's mother, he didn't find anyone to come over to clean up, so he naturally treated me as an hourly worker and asked me to do laundry and cook. But one thing is better, he doesn't restrict my freedom to go out.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, I went out to the hospital to see my grandfather. Because of the cold air raging, the sky was gray and cold. Wrapped in a thick coat and wearing a mask, he just covered his face.

When I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I happened to see Grandpa Zhou coming out of the hospital, taking a taxi and leaving.

Now that the Mu Group has closed down, the Mu family is in the middle of the road, and I am afraid that only Grandpa Zhou and his wife are kind enough to take care of their grandfather.

While walking into the hospital, I thought: I don't know what happened to Chen Ke? decided to call and ask later, otherwise Grandpa Zhou and they might not have a place to live.

When I went, my grandfather should have fallen asleep, his eyes closed, his face still as white as snow, and the deep wrinkles were full of exhaustion.

Looking at him, I thought for a moment, maybe my grandfather is like this, and I don't have to worry about all kinds of trivial things, let alone worry about me every day.

I lay on the hospital bed, reminiscing about the past and whispering to my grandfather. It was only when my grandfather didn't know anything that I dared to chew on the memories of the past so boldly, and dwell on the good old days.

I stayed like this for more than an hour, and it was dark outside, so I got up, tucked the corners of the quilt and left the ward gently. I couldn't hold my breath, so I ran to the attending physician's office and asked about my grandfather's condition.

When the doctor saw me, his face was obviously a little surprised, and it was not surprising that the events of that year were known all over the city, and it was not surprising that people would remember me.

The doctor told me that my grandfather was in very bad health at present, and it was unknown whether the follow-up treatment would work.

He also heard the news of the Mu family's downfall, and persuaded me: "If it is difficult to support it financially, it is recommended to give up treatment." Let's not talk about whether the treatment is effective, if it really has some effect, it is only a little better than now, whether it can be sober or not, is a later story. Think about it! If you think about it, you can come to me. ”

Giving up treatment?

"Nope! Please don't give up and continue to treat your grandfather! Don't worry about me. Doctor, please don't give up on my grandfather! Don't give up on him! ”

I wiped my tears and shook my head in plea. Even if I was exhausted, I couldn't cut off my grandfather's breathing. I owe him what I owe to the old man, and I should pay it back.

The doctor agreed to my request, and I left the hospital in a daze, and it was raining outside.

Standing in the doorway, not knowing what to do? Is it going back in the rain? Or call someone to pick it up?

A drop of rain hit my face, cold and biting. I raised my hand to erase it, and then I remembered that this time is different from the past. Who else can I rely on today?

Opened his legs and was about to leave in the rain, but he saw a luxury Lincoln parked on the side of the road, and the people in the driver's seat were busy and trotted over with a black umbrella.

"Miss Mu, Mr. Huo asked me to pick you up for dinner, please!"

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him, and just turned my head to ask who he was, but he opened his mouth and explained: "Miss Mu may not have seen me, my name is Lin Zhi, Mr. Huo's secretary." ”

He opened the door for me, waited for me to sit down, closed it, got in the car, started the car and left.

"How do you know I'm here? Uncle Huo really cares about me! The corners of his mouth were deliberately opened, but a bitter smile came out.

Lin Zhi didn't answer me, but just smiled politely.

I didn't speak again, looking wearily at the rain outside the window, my heart shivering with cold. What should I do if I am really driven down the path of betrayal? Is it to see death and not to save it? Or, betraying Huo Nanyi?

I took out my phone, sent him a text message, and turned it off. I was afraid that he would call, whether it was questioning or concerning.

About half an hour later, the car slowly stopped, Lin Zhi got out of the car and opened the door for me, and said, "Miss Mu, it's here." ”

I glanced at the place in front of me, Yuntian Restaurant. Without hesitation, I followed him in.

In the past five years, Maocheng has changed a lot, and I don't know the specific location of this restaurant, and I don't plan to care about it. At least for now, Hok Nam-hoon won't do anything to me.

Lin Zhi took me up to the third floor, an elegant private room, he knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Huo, Miss Mu has arrived." Before I could hear from inside, he opened the door for me and turned away.

I didn't rush in, I stood at the door and looked inside, only to see Huo Nanxun in his trouser pocket with one hand in his trouser pocket and a cigarette in the other, standing in front of the window, looking at the chaotic night outside.

Without saying hello, he went straight in, closed the door, and approached him.

Hearing me approaching, he finally spoke, "Uncle didn't think you would come." Mu Zi really gave his uncle face, otherwise his uncle wouldn't know how to step down. ”

As clear and warm as I remember the voice. Unfortunately, his heart did not match his voice.

pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huo, you are joking with me again." You kindly asked the secretary to pick me up and invite me to dinner, but it's too late for me to be happy! How can it be refused? ”

Then he put down his bag, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Uncle Huo, can you eat?" I'm so hungry! "I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

Perhaps shocked by my "innocence", he snuffed out his cigarette and sat down, looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Mu Zi, you have grown up and can act. If your aunt sees it, she will be very happy! After all, the Mu family finally has a successor. ”

He deliberately took my aunt out to press me, and I kept paralyzing myself and ignored him. pretended not to understand the deep meaning of his words, and feasted.

But he just wanted to uncover my disguise, played with the wine glass, and asked with a light smile: "Mu Zi, aren't you curious, what happened after you disappeared?" ”

"Uncle Huo is willing to tell me?" His smile froze slightly, and instantly returned to normal.

"I think it's more appropriate for the person concerned, my good brother, and your brother-in-law to tell you personally."

added a long list of prefixes, just to emphasize "Huo Nanyi", he is really interesting.

"Uncle Huo didn't just invite me to dinner today, right? If you want something, you can say it bluntly, I'm stupid and can't guess Uncle Huo's mind. ”

"But in Uncle Huo's eyes, you are very smart. Since you like to get straight to the point, then uncle won't beat around the bush. ”

He shoved a document in front of me and said, "Look at it! Maybe it will work for you. ”

I opened it, and it was full of information about Huo Nanyi's suppression and even destruction of the Mu family.

Sure enough, it was really him.

I guessed that the truth would be like this early on, but I still felt heartache. The people I love, with their own hands, ruined what I cared about.

Closing the information, he asked, "What does Uncle Huo want me to do?" Let's get straight ahead! ”

"It's not a big deal, I just hope you can help your uncle get the low price of Huo Nanyi's bid this time, and then put this thing into his mobile phone." He had a chip in his palm.

"But I hope Uncle Huo will grant me a request......"

Before I could finish, he had already placed a check in front of me, and I glanced at it, a full thirty million.

"This is a deposit, and I will give you another 30 million after the matter is completed. And it will help you contact a good expert and help you escape from Huo Nanyi. How's that, uncle is generous enough, right? ”

I hooked my lips and smiled, and stretched out my hand, "Thank you Uncle Huo for your generous help, you can go back and wait for good news!" ”

He picked up his glass and motioned for me to go, and I obediently drank and packed the check and chip.

"Mu Zi, Uncle Huo hates people who are not sincere the most. You're also sincere and working with your uncle, right? He stared at me suddenly, and his cold eyes seemed to freeze, and he suddenly felt a chill in my eyes.

"That kid's name is Mu Li, right? It's cute, and it's smart. When she recovers, remember to introduce her to her uncle. ”

My hands clenched unconsciously under the table, and my nails sank into the flesh and hurt a lot.

"Of course, Uncle Huo is our great benefactor, how can he be ungrateful?"

I pretended to be calm, smiled and finished my meal with him, went downstairs, and after refusing his offer to send me back, I watched him get into the car. thought that he could finally take off his guard and take a breath, but he saw Huo Nanyi walking over with an umbrella.

My pantothenic facial muscles were instantly paralyzed and I couldn't move.

When Huo Nanxun saw him coming, he deliberately stood next to the car, waiting, with a playful expression.

When Huo Nanyi passed by him, he reached out and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I didn't expect to meet you at a meal, my good brother."

Huo Nanyi didn't give him a look, he took his hand away and was about to leave, but he whispered something, only to feel Huo Nanyi's face sink and look at me.

A glance, but I was panicked. After agreeing to cooperate and selling me, Huo Nanxun did it.

Although I have decided to betray Huo Nanyi, I still have a weak heart. How cheap is the love that can be sold?

Huo Nanxun gave me an ambiguous look, then got into the car and disappeared into the night.

I stood at the door of the restaurant, not moving, looking at Huo Nanyi not far away. In the heavy rain, the coldness on his face was even worse. The steps that approached me, with the rain, soaked my heart, and I shivered unconsciously with the cold.

He stood still in front of me and said coldly, "Do you want to stand here frozen into a statue?" Ugly like this, scared away the guests, I'm afraid the boss won't agree. ”

Hearing this, I blinked curiously, obviously he was very angry, but he told me a bad joke? It's cold enough.

didn't stay any longer, took the initiative to walk to his side, and left the restaurant.

On the way back, I looked at his side face and tried to speak several times, but I swallowed it back when the words came to my mouth.

Finally, at the gate of the community, he opened the door and landed with one foot, and I hurriedly shouted: "Huo Nanyi, I chose to betray you." ”
