Chapter 48: Unimportant People

Nan Chu unconsciously tightened his fingers.

The provocative meaning in the man's words is simply disgusting.

She thought she would be slighted and humiliated.

Unexpectedly, all this had started when she stepped on the land in front of the Huo family.

Horthy stopped.

There was a chill in his eyes.

"An illegitimate child who has nothing to do with the Huo family, call me cousin, Xiang Yang, you are also worthy?"

Nan Chu was stunned.

Mr. Huo has always spoken politely, but he only makes people feel that he is difficult to approach, and rarely pokes at people's sore spots.

This is his innate cultivation.

Today it is ......

Nan Chu directly felt that Mr. Huo was angry.

Xiang Yang was obviously dumbfounded, his face flushed, and he stared at Nan Chu viciously.

It's all this woman's fault!

Huo Xici pulled Nan Chu into the main hall.

In the main hall, on the sofa, there was a richly dressed lady.

Seeing Huo Xici, the noble lady stood up and was very excited, "Xici-"

Suddenly, her eyes touched Nan Chu beside Huo Xici, and the noble lady's face changed.

Nan Chu saw all her expressions.

She is Huo Xici's mother, Mrs. Xiang Weixiang.

Xiang Wei looked at Nan Chu's gaze, as if she was looking at the vegetable leaves that had been picked and rotted in the vegetable market.

"Xici, who is this young lady?"

Mrs. Xiang glanced at Nan Chu contemptuously, and then spoke to Huo Xici with joy on her face.

"Don't pretend."

Huo Xici still had a cold face.

Huh? Do Mr. Huo and Mrs. Xiang have a bad relationship?

Nan Chu pretended to be well-behaved on his face, but Yu Guang was staring at Xiang Wei's expression.

Xiang Wei was embarrassed and started a round for herself.

"I remember, you told me that this is your girlfriend, right?"

Huo Xici sneered again.

"Tang Jing, how did you pass on the word?"

Tang Jing, who was following behind, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mr. Huo, I told Mrs. Xiang according to your instructions."

"I said-Mr. Huo and Miss Nan are in love and have already obtained a license to get married."

Despite facing Xiang Wei's vicious gaze, Tang Jing did not retreat in the slightest.

Nan Chu couldn't help but suspect that this was specially arranged by Huo Xici.

Horthy raised his eyebrows, "Did you hear clearly?" ”

"If you haven't heard it clearly, Tang Jing will stay here until Mrs. hears clearly."

There was an uproar in the main hall.

Before they came in, Xiang Wei was discussing the matter with the other noblewomen.

Xiang Wei deliberately concealed the fact that the two of them received the certificate, adding fuel and vinegar, not to say that Nan Chu was pestering Huo Xi to resign.

Now that he has been poked by Horthy, it is inevitable that he will lose face.

Xiang Wei was not angry with Huo Xi, but he counted all this on Nan Chu's head.

"Xici-" Xiang Wei reluctantly maintained a smile, "I'll have someone take you to the room......"

"No need, me and her, stay in my room."

Horsey walked through the main hall with Nan Chu in a grand manner.

Nan Chu felt that countless eyes fell on her.

She suppressed the tension in her heart, took the graceful steps that formed muscle memory, and walked forward with her head raised.

Passing through the main hall, there were gradually fewer people, and Nan Chu relaxed a little.

"Mr. Huo, if you are like this, I will offend Mrs. Xiang very much!"

Nan Chu lowered his voice and whispered close to Huo Xici.

"Since you and I got the certificate, I have already offended her."

Horthy stated the facts lightly.

"As long as it's not ...... None of her will be satisfied. ”

Nan Chu didn't hear what Huo Xi said in the middle, and he didn't want to ask.

has been with Huo Xici for so long, and she can perceive Huo Xici's true emotions more than others.

Although Mr. Huo said it badly, he still had some affection for Mrs. Xiang.

Nan Chu walked and suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Huo, how much is the 10% of Huo's shares worth?"

Horthy raised his eyebrows, "What, you're short of money?" ”

"What if, Mrs. Xiang offers me an offer to divorce you?"

Nan Chu blinked his eyes.

"I've got to figure out what's going on in the market."

The corners of Horthy's mouth raised slightly.

Nan Chu always has a way to make him happy.

"I'm afraid she won't be able to do it."

The two walked to a door, and Horthy stopped and stared at her.

"Take your shares, it's enough to make you worth more than her."

Horsey entered the code and pushed the door open.

It turned out to be a suite.

Compared to the hotel's top luxury suites, it is no better.

"This is where you used to live?"

Nan Chu asked casually, still thinking about Huo Xici's words about "worth" in his mind.

It turns out that Huo's shares are so valuable?

She's a little weak-hearted.

During this period of time, it has not only caused Mr. Huo a lot of trouble.

Even his own job, pretending to be his wife, failed to do it well.

Now Mr. Huo has to protect her in turn.

"Sort of."

Horsey's voice pulled her back to reality.

Nan Chu reached out and touched the desk, there was no trace of dust.

It seems that although Mr. Huo has been away from home for many years, this room is still cleaned regularly.

"There's a harmless little family dinner tonight, and of course, the highlight is tomorrow."

Nan Chu didn't hesitate, "I'll go." ”

She was already guilty and couldn't refuse any of Horthy's legitimate requests.

Horthy was surprised, then chuckled and added, "I didn't say you didn't want to participate. ”

That's what you mean!

Nan Chu discovered Huo Xici's bad taste.

Behind Huo Xici, Nan Chu rolled his eyes wildly.

Suddenly, the corner of the drawer that was not closed tightly caught her attention.

She pulled open the drawer, revealing only a photo album.

Nan Chu hesitated, "Mr. Huo, can I take a look?" ”

"There's nothing to see."

Horsiqi took out a notebook from the bedroom, probably sent by him in advance.

He turned on the computer, flipped through two pages of work documents, and saw that Nan Chu was still staring at the drawer.

"You can see it if you want."

Yes!

Nan Chu picked up the album and sat next to Huo Xici to flip through it.

The album is thick, but there are few photos.

Suddenly, a photo caught her attention.

In the photo, a little boy of about ten years old looks delicate and has a cold expression.

At first glance, it is Mr. Huo, which is simply magnified in equal proportions, especially the expression.

The middle-aged men and women beside him are probably his deceased father and Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang held Huo Xici in one hand, and a delicate and lovely girl in the other.

It's strange, I haven't heard that Mr. Huo has a sister or sister......

"Mr. Huo, is this also your family?"

Nan Chu pointed to the girl in the photo.

Horthy's eyes darkened, "No. ”

"Unimportant people."

Nan Chu wanted to ask something, but when he saw the dense data on Huo Xici's computer screen, he obediently shut up.

Horthy finished his work, and it was already dark.

Nan Chu leaned on the sofa and slept soundly beside him.

Horthy gently picked up the album from her hand.

He stared at the picture.

After a long time, he hooked the corners of his mouth as if deprecating, and threw the album back into the drawer.

He bent down and unconsciously reached out to touch Nan Chu's hair.

"Mr. Huo, Mrs. told you to go down for dinner."

A servant knocked at the door.

Nan Chu suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at Huo Xici, who was only ten centimeters away from her.
