After Huo Zhen finished handling the official business at hand, it was already early in the morning.

He glanced up at the time on his watch, half past twelve, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee. Huo Zhen's eyes showed a little blue, he loosened his neckline, and lay down directly on the sofa.

He hadn't been back to Huo's house for a long time.

As soon as Huo Zhen lay down, Li Wangshu's somewhat hurried voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Boss, that project has progressed!" ”

Huo Zhenden turned over and stood up.

Yunjian Group has always been mainly engaged in real estate investment, and this time Huo Zhen took a fancy to a wasteland in the mountains of northern Italy and wanted to develop an ancient castle as a tourist attraction. However, the local relevant departments and Huo Zhen's favored cooperative company have always had an ambiguous attitude, which hurt Huo Zhen's brain.

In the middle of the night, Huo Zhen hid the tiredness on his face and said in a deep voice: "What do you say?"

Li Wangshu handed Huo Zhen a stack of documents, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and said softly: "The person in charge of this Xirui Group asks you to go to Milan to negotiate in person. It is said that someone else does not have enough authority......"

Huo Zhen swept the document with three eyes, sneered, and his eyes were full of anger: "If you get it, I have to ask for this land."

He closed the document with a "snap" and said lightly: "Book a ticket and fly to Milan with me tomorrow."

At this time, Lin Qingan was sitting a little cramped in the VIP room of Sotheby's auction house, a middle-aged man in a black uniform with two elegant mustaches on his lips holding a magnifying glass in his hand, raising the ruby ring in his hand to examine it carefully.

Lin Qing'an was a little apprehensive, but she also knew the value of this set of ruby jewelry. If it weren't for the fact that she was in a hurry to give birth to a child and had to pay a large amount of money, Lin Qingan would not have been ruthless to take out this ruby ring and put it up for auction......

"Miss Ann." The man put down the magnifying glass in his hand, carefully wiped the mirror with a mirror cloth, and his face was extremely solemn: "Even if this ring is flawed, it still has a high value...... A 3 carat ruby with excellent luster and fire. The price I'm giving is...... Nine hundred thousand euros. ”

Lin Qing'an's face was silent, but her heart suddenly filled with a sense of loss of the treasure.

She pushed the ruby ring in the direction of the jeweler, and said calmly, "Mr. Francis, at this price." How soon will I get this money? You see—"

She looked at her belly with a wry smile and said lightly, "I'm in a hurry to have a baby." ”

Francis glanced at Lin Qing'an's stomach, nodded sympathetically, and took out a document to ask Lin Qing'an to sign: "If the situation allows, you will be able to find a buyer for this ring at an auction at eight o'clock tomorrow night."

Lin Qing'an signed his name with a calm face, and said in a low voice, "I hope so."

Francis got up and sent Lin Qing'an out gentlemanly. Lin Qingan pinched the auction contract in duplicate in her hand, smiled bitterly, and touched her round belly: "Babies, you have to work hard with your mother......"

Pregnancy was originally one of the most difficult moments in a woman's life, not to mention that Lin Qingan was pregnant with twins and was still alone......

Lin Qing'an walked out of the VIP room slowly, the sun was just right outside, and not far away was the Milan Opera House, which was touring the song "Turandot". Lin Qing'an rested against the pillar for a while, listening to the faint singing.

What happened a few months ago, now that I think about it, feels like a dream.

Lin Qingan took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but there was no news. There is no private number stored on this card, and Lin Qingan doesn't want to enter those well-cooked numbers that he memorized. Let yourself be completely laid down in the new kingdom......

Lin Qing'an returned to the attic and fell asleep, sleepy during pregnancy, and she had to cheer up to watch tomorrow night's auction.

She had a rare dream.

In her dream, she seemed to be back to that night three years ago.

That day was the engagement banquet between Lin Zhiruo and Jun Zikun. Dad asked her to cheer for her sister and asked her to go to the venue in advance to help. Lin Qing'an stupidly agreed, completely unaware that she was walking towards a carefully woven net.

Lin Zhiruo was dressed up at home, and when Lin Qingan arrived at the venue, there were only a few staff members in the venue who were still making preparations. She helped the staff arrange the bouquets, and she secretly looked forward to what her engagement banquet with Huo Zhen would look like in the near future......

At that time, Lin Qing'an was really innocent, and she really thought that things would be as she planned, and Huo Zhen would return to China to get engaged to her in a month.

Lin Zhiruo was late, and gave Lin Qingan a glass of orange juice, and smiled on her well-dressed bewitching face: "Sorry sister, drink a glass of orange juice and rest." ”

Lin Qingan did not defend her half-sister at all. Lin Qing'an has always had a weak relationship with Lin Zhiruo, and feels that as long as the well water does not interfere with the river water, it is fine. After all, Lin Zhiruo is also her father's daughter, so she usually doesn't care about some of Lin Zhiruo's little tricks.

She directly took the orange juice in Lin Zhiruo's hand.

Then came the scorching heat of lethargy and heartburn......

A pair of hands held her, and then a cold paste came up......

Lin Qing'an was uncomfortable, and in a daze, she reached out to pull the cold closer to her, and in the dark she felt as if she had done something wrong. But everything is already overwhelmed.

The door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and everyone, in full view, watched her sleep in the same bed as Jun Zikun.

Lin Zhiruo's screaming and crying...... White Pearl's rage, swearing...... She Lin Qing'an became a little slut who seduced her brother-in-law, and became a well-known slut in M City.

Lin Qingan watched herself in her dream walk towards the abyss step by step, and looked at Huo Zhen, who was returning to China in a hurry, looking at her with desperate and angry eyes......

Tears unconsciously slid down the sleeping Lin Qingan's eyes. Unbeknownst to her, she was still immersed in the nightmare that had tormented her for many nights.

She didn't have the face to go see her brother Zhen again. It was the old man Huo who personally took Huo Zhen to the Lin family and told her that he still wanted her to be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.

Huo Zhen really married her according to Old Man Huo's words. But that hasty and sloppy wedding, that cold but handsome face...... Lin Qing'an can't forget it, and she doesn't dare to forget it.

Three years, countless days and nights of waiting. Countless late nights, she waited for Huo Zhen to come back from overtime in Huo's house, and the bird's nest soup in the small kitchen didn't know how many hours it had been boiled, but in exchange for his indifferent eyes as always.

Lin Qingan thought desperately, would she never be forgiven by Huo Zhen in her life?

But two months ago, on the day of her birthday, Huo Zhen didn't go home until two o'clock in the evening. Lin Qingan waited lonely in the living room for Huo Zhen to come home, drinking Huo Zhen's treasured red wine one by one.

She entered the wrong room and slept peacefully on a bed full of Huo Zhen's breath. slept with Huo Zhen, who was also drunk and returned late......

That chaotic night, Lin Qing'an was left with only the tearing pain and the two children in her belly.

"Brother Zhen, don't leave my ......"

Lin Qing'an said something in a dream and woke up suddenly.

She reached out and touched her face, feeling a wet mark.

Lin Qing'an closed her eyes and sighed lowly.

I can't forget it......

In the early morning of the next day, the flights taking off and landing at the airport brought the negotiation team led by Huo Zhen of Yunjian Group.

This time, Huo Zhen personally came out precisely because the value of the Beatrice Manor in the north of Milan was extremely high. Even though the estate was deserted centuries ago, it is still a treasure that once belonged only to the royal family. If Beatrice Manor can be acquired and successfully developed into a resort and tourist attraction, Yunjian Group's overseas business and wealth accumulation will undoubtedly get a qualitative leap.

Ciri Group is a well-known architectural company in Milan with rich experience in design and construction. Swan Castle, a once-popular Internet celebrity check-in location, was renovated by the Xirui Group. Huo Zhen also took a fancy to the ability of Xirui Group and chose to cooperate with Xirui Group to develop overseas business.

However, the flip side of fame is often "playing big". Xirui Group is no exception, Huo Zhen has to bite Huo Zhen to this piece of land, and has been increasing the price of the project.

Huo Zhen's eyebrows condensed, dressed in an ink-colored suit, and after getting off the plane, he strode straight towards the outside of the airport.

The people sent by the Ciri Group are already waiting for the negotiation team at the entrance of the airport. Li Wangshu followed behind Huo Zhen, and he didn't have to guess at all, he could also think that this master was in a bad mood now.

After all, it's Huo Zhen...... He has always been the only one who oppresses others, this time Huo Zhen can be said to have been forced to come to Milan in person, and I think I know that Huo Gongzi must have suppressed his anger at this moment.

Although Huo Zhen has been flammable and explosive since Lin Qing'an's disappearance, Li Wangshu still doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Before the receptionist sent by Xirui Group spoke, he took the lead in introducing: "Miss Juliet, this is Mr. Huo Zhen, the president of our Yunjian Group, and I am Mr. Huo Zhen's chief assistant Li Wangshu. ”

Xirui Group came to receive Huo Zhen with a blonde and blue-eyed temperament, dressed in an elegant uniform skirt. As early as before, Li Wangshu was angry with the other party's public relations department and knew that this beauty was a very important figure in Xirui Group, named Juliet.

Juliet smiled slightly and bowed her head solemnly: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Li." ”

Huo Zhen's eyes swept over Juliet's face, and he got into the car coldly.

Li Wangshu was a little embarrassed, he was used to the temperament of his own president. But Juliet actually got into the car with a very good temper, and she didn't care about Huo Zhen's arrogance.

Huo Zhen has no interest in beauty or beauty. He's a businessman, and he can only put what he wants in his eyes. For the beauties who publicized him, Huo Zhen had already seen a lot and had enough immunity.

The car drove through the streets of Milan, and there were people singing in the open-air garden, and some people playing guitars to accompaniment. Huo Zhen looked at the scenery speeding by outside the car window expressionlessly, and suddenly his whole body tightened, and his heart beat like a drum.

A familiar figure flashed past Huo Zhen's eyes on the side of the road. didn't have time to react more, Huo Zhen said directly in a deep voice: "Stop!" ”
