Chapter 4, Huo's Building
As soon as Huo Jiyun walked into the Cherishing Blessing Courtyard, he saw such a picture, a girl in a white dress, her long black hair was scattered behind her, and she was smiling at a boy with a side face. There was a light in the boy's eyes, and his smile was innocent.
The soft beam of light wrapped them, the green background of the big tree, the verdant ground lawn, the gentle expression of the girl in white, the child's innocent eyes, at this moment, his heart that had not been turbulent for a long time actually had an inexplicable restlessness, and his indifferent face also had a trace of arc.
"Huo Shao, why are you here? What about the old man? Dean Xuan looked at the visitor in surprise.
"My grandfather is not well, so let me donate to you instead of him."
"That's right, thank you so much." Xuan Minru's grateful heart was shown on her face.
"It's fine." Huo Jiyun looked very bland.
"Old Man Huo's body is okay?"
"Well, it's not a big problem, it's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient when I'm older."
Just when they were still warm and polite, Xuan Ruoxi had already come behind them. Dean Xuan saw her and immediately smiled and beckoned: "If it's a pity, come quickly, you're here." β
Huo Jiyun looked back at Dean Xuan's line of sight, and just faced the girl's face, and couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Xuan Ruo looked at the person who came, it seemed to be called Huo Jiyun!
"Huo Shao, this is a pity, she is the oldest in the Cherishing Blessing Academy, thanks to her, I can be more relaxed." Xuan Minru's loving shoulders were full of relief.
Huo Jiyun's deep eyes looked at Xuan Ruoxi, who bowed his head slightly, and took the initiative to reach out for the first time--
The assistant behind him almost dropped his jaw!
"Miss Ruoxi, hello, I'm Huo Jiyun." Looking at the slender fingers of the wide palm, Xuan Ruoxi hesitated.
"If it's a pity, hurry up, you can't be rude." Seeing that she was still hesitating, Dean Xuan hurriedly urged her.
Xuan Ruoxi stretched out his hand as if he had the courage to put it in his palm, and Huo Jiyun only touched it slightly before withdrawing his palm.
"That'sβmission accomplished, I'll take my leave."
"Is this leaving? Why don't you go in and sit for a while? Have a cup of tea? β
"No need, I'm going back to the company for a meeting, goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye Huo Shao." Huo Jiyun nodded, turned around and left without speaking.
Watching his departing back quickly get into the car, the black sedan slowly left their sight, and it was not until they were out of sight that Xuan Minru withdrew his gaze.
Turning his head to look at Xuan Ruoxi, he said happily: "It's a pity, it's great, we have funds again." Xuan Minru took her hand and walked into the house together, and said excitedly: "With this money, I plan to build a small sports field for the children, you see, our yard is not big enough, and there are more and more children, so we need to expand the scale." β
"Great, if the dean has any orders, just tell Ruoxi."
"Good! Good boy, my pity, I have grown up and become a beautiful girl. Unconsciously, the little girl in front of her actually grew into a big girl, Xuan Minru's eyes were inexplicably a little sour, and there was a thick reluctance in her eyes.
At this moment, Ruoxi didn't know the dean's feelings, and she was still happy because she had a lot of donations.
"This Huo Shao's grandfather is a powerful figure, I heard that their Huo family has been a big family from ancient times to the present, and it is also recorded in history, I heard that many of the ancestors were marshals of the Kai Dynasty.
I vaguely remember that when our orphanage was just launched, there was a man who came to donate, and he was also surnamed Huo, and later I learned that this man was actually the son of Mr. Huo.
At that time, I was still young, less than forty years old..."Dean Xuan pulled Xuan Ruoxi inside, and told her about the past.
"Minru, when are you coming to the hospital?" At night, the children are asleep, on the balcony, Xuan Minru looks at the night sky with stars, the summer wind carries a slight heat, and the voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone is urgent.
"What kind of hospital do you live in? I'm not good. β
"What's good? Do you know that you are in danger right now? There was almost a roar on the other end of the line.
Xuan Minru chuckled calmly: "Old Zhou, why are you still like this?" It's all in their fifties, don't get angry at every turn, it's not good for your health. You're still a doctor! β
"Yes, I'm a doctor, I can't get angry, so you have to listen to me, when is it, you're still dragging, don't you want to think about the children? What if they don't have you? β
"What else can I do? Isn't there still a pity? She is my successor. β
"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, so young and pushed up to Calvary--"
There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone, and Xuan Minru was silent.
"Minru, I'm sorry!" After a long time, there was another voice on the other end, but it was not a roar but an apology.
Xuan Minru laughed a few times, "Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, you are like this--" The words were full of cordiality and friendship.
"We grew up together, you know who I am, Minru, I beg you, come to the hospital tomorrow - let me see you."
Xuan Minru listened to his almost pleading tone, and tears slipped silently, dripping silently on her wrist.
"Got it, I'll see you tomorrow, okay, now you can sleep in peace, right? If you are not young, you should also pay more attention to your body, don't stay up late, and don't be too dead-eyed. β
"If you have it, you will know that you will teach me a lesson, and you will not look at your own virtues! Okay, I'm going to rest, you should rest quickly, I will see you tomorrow morning. β
"Yes, Mr. Zhou."
Hanging up the phone, Xuan Minru let out a long sigh.
Life is a journey, and when the time comes, it's time to go home.
ββ
The taxi stopped under a building, "Miss, here, this is the Huo Group Building." Xuan Ruoxi got out of the taxi, and when he arrived at Xie, he turned around and looked up at the tall building in front of him.
It's a very high floor, there are dozens of floors! Take a deep breath and take courage to walk towards the entrance and exit of the building.
Just a few hours earlier, the dean had given her a task.
"It's a pity, do you remember the Huo Shao who came yesterday?"
Xuan Ruoxi thought for a moment, and a handsome face with clear water chestnuts jumped into his mind, and then nodded.
"I have a letter here, and some gifts, can you help me deliver it to the Huo Group?"
So she readily agreed in the dean's expectant eyes.
The black glass building stands majestically, giving people a sense of imposing rainbow.
Xuan Ruoxi strode inside.
"Hello, I'm here to find the general manager of the Huo family, may I ask, what floor is he on?" When she came to the front desk, Xuan Ruoxi politely asked the counter lady, but the other party looked her up and down and said, "Do you have an appointment?" β
"Appointment?" Do I still need to make an appointment? Didn't the dean say it?
When the counter lady saw her dazed, she twitched the corners of her mouth with disdain, and she was a courteous person who had nothing to do. Look at her innocent face, who will she show it?
"Sorry, we can't go up without an appointment here." Xuan Ruoxi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
