Chapter 42, Hypocrisy

"Old man, Miss Ji is here to visit you." In the Huo family's villa, Old Man Huo was reading the newspaper. In the leisurely afternoon, he likes to have a cup of tea, read the newspaper, and take a lunch break.

"Oh, that Miss Ji?"

"Grandpa Huo, it's me, Xiangxiang." Ji Xiangxiang carried a small bag and entered the door with a smile.

"Oh, it's Xiangxiang? Look at my memory. I'm old, and I'm useless. ”

"Grandpa Huo is not old. It's been a long time since I've come to see you, and I can't complain that you don't remember me. ”

"Huh! The girl is still so sweet-mouthed. Come and sit down. The old man put down the newspaper in his hand and beckoned to her kindly.

Ji Xiangxiang immediately went over and sat down on the chair opposite him.

"Is your dad okay?" The old man motioned to the housekeeper to pour the tea, and asked Ji Xiangxiang.

"My dad is very nice, but he always talks about you."

"yes, that's going to give him time to eat." The old man still squinted and smiled.

"Okay, I'll pass it on." Ji Xiangxiang said and kept looking into the room. The old man drank his tea and looked at her slowly.

"What is Xiangxiang looking at?"

"Uh, no, I just haven't been here for a long time, just take a look." Ji Xiangxiang smiled to hide her embarrassment.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll ask the butler to take you to our orchard later. This year's oranges are all ripe, so you can pick some and give them back to your dad. ”

"Really? Then you're welcome, thank you Grandpa Huo. ”

"You're welcome, we're relatives." The old man felt a little tired and yawned.

"It's time for the old man's lunch break." Wu's mother reminded on the side.

"Ah, I didn't come at the right time, and I actually forgot that Grandpa Huo was going to take a lunch break. I'm sorry. ”

"Don't don't, it's rare for you to come, and I'm used to it. Or - you go to the orchard and play for yourself? ”

"Okay-Grandpa Huo, go and rest, don't worry about me."

"I'm sorry about that." After the old man finished speaking, he asked the servant to push him upstairs. The housekeeper Lao Fu took two servants and led Ji Xiangxiang to the orchard.

Ji Xiangxiang didn't come to pick any fruit. On hot days, the skin is exposed to the sun. She wore a hat and gloves, and she looked like that when she was fully armed. Behind him were butlers and servants carrying baskets.

"Miss Ji, look, this is the most grown, if you want to do it yourself, you can do it yourself, we will pick a little for you first."

"Okay, thank you, Butler Fu." Ji Xiangxiang is a delicate girl after all, and her speech and behavior are still relatively delicate. I saw her look around, then took out her mobile phone and opened the account of the usual live broadcast.

"Hello! Hello everyone, I am Princess Xiangxiang, and I have the honor to walk into my relative's orchard today. Look behind me, are there a lot of oranges? It's all natural, isn't everyone envious? The housekeeper Lao Fu saw that she was having fun by herself, so she smiled and didn't take it seriously. Little girls, they all like to shoot video hair rings.

Ji Xiangxiang's account still has a lot of fans, and during her live broadcast, someone found a special address in her location.

As a result, countless message barrages filled the screen.

[Wow, this place is a rich area. 】

[The relatives of the young lady are rich people. 】

[Luxury villas, as well as their own orchards, are simply not too rich. 】

[Is it really a relative's house?] Could it be a handsome guy and a rich second generation? 】

[Little sister's outfit today is really simple]

Ji Xiangxiang looked at the live broadcast room unexpectedly, and actually rose by a few thousand fans all of a sudden, and she was so happy. didn't see Huo Jiyun, and he didn't let the old man treat him specially. It's hard to come here, but if you don't make some money back, it's really not cost-effective.

Ji Xiangxiang, who left the Huo family's villa, was as happy as a proud peacock. Sitting in a private car with several large baskets of oranges beside him. The live broadcast hasn't ended yet, and people have been coming in to watch. She was reluctant to shut it down, so she broadcast live all the way home.

From entering the orchard to picking the fruits, take a luxury private car home. Everyone in the live broadcast room can clearly see the background of the Huo family's villa that she deliberately "accidentally" photographed when she left just now. There is also a picture of the interior of a luxury car. The message area simply blew up.

Huo Jiyun sat in the car and looked out casually. At the long intersection, some youngsters in fashionable clothes were looking around. They had selfie sticks and cameras and phones in their hands. There are also outdoor tools such as carrying bags that seem to be tents. Twisting his eyebrows slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in Huo Jiyun's eyes.

"What's going on with these people?" Sen Sen was also puzzled, "I don't know, there has been such a crowd since yesterday." ”

"You look it up." After several network incidents, Huo Jiyun had palpitations. This is where he lives, and usually only his grandfather is there, so he can't let his old man be disturbed in any way.

"Oh, by the way, I just heard from the housekeeper that Miss Ji came the day before yesterday." Sen Sen suddenly remembered and said.

"Ji Xiangxiang?" The thick eyebrows were raised lightly, and Huo Jiyun was slightly surprised.

"Yes." What is she here for?

"He also said that he picked a lot of oranges and left."

"Hmm." Huo Jiyun didn't say much.

Sen Sen looked hesitantly in the rearview mirror. Do you want to say it? Maybe not what he thought.

"Talking?" Huo Jiyun didn't raise his head, knowing that Sen Sen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huo Shao, Miss Ji is an Internet celebrity." felt that what he said was too general, and added another sentence: "The popularity is very high, and the pink color has reached hundreds of thousands." ”

"Go on." Concise and appalling.

"She probably took a video when she came to the orchard." The fingers of the mouse slid for a pause.

"Check it out on her account in the afternoon."

"Well, I understand."

In the afternoon, after Huo Jiyun finished the meeting, Sen Sen walked into the office. Put the tablet in his hand on Huo Jiyun's office desktop.

"Huo Shao, I've already seen it. also brushed a lot of live broadcast rooms and some topics related to it. I found out that Miss Ji's account did broadcast your orchard live a few days ago. The address and appearance of the villa were also located. And in between, it has received a lot of attention, messages, and rewards. Huo Jiyun's eyes instantly turned a little colder.

"You go and ask her out for me."

"Okay."

"Wait! Send someone to watch near the villa. If you find a suspicious person, let them get rid of them. ”

"Got it." Sen Sen moved quickly and left. In the evening, Ji Xiangxiang came to the agreed hotel, and she was bright and moving in a lady's outfit. The smile on his face is even sweeter. She couldn't believe that Huo Shao would actually ask her for dinner.

When she received a call from her assistant Sensen, she was really flattered. With great excitement, she came to the private room of the restaurant with a smile on her face. Just when she knew that Huo Shao asked her to dine in the private room, her mood was even more wonderful. I kept taking pictures of my makeup with my mobile phone, for fear of accidentally spending my makeup.

"Brother Huo." Walking into the box, Huo Jiyun was the only one inside. Ji Xiangxiang was even happier. Does this mean that Huo Shao only asked her out alone. Smiling, she sat down beside him.

"I'm so happy, I didn't expect Brother Huo to ask me for dinner." Compared with Ji Xiangxiang's excitement, Huo Jiyun's face was full of seriousness.

Xuan was invited to the hotel, and she was surrounded by community leaders.

"If it's a pity, if the leader of the meeting asks you to drink, you can give a face, drink a little more."

"Sister Zhang, I won't drink." Xuan Zhen regretted that he would only drink some fruit wine before.

"I know, if you mean something, I'll cover for you. Rest assured, they are all leaders, just to give some face. Xuan Zhen was a little helpless, she came to the dinner today just because she wanted to thank her.

"I'll pay for it tonight."

"Stupid words, come out with me, where do you want to pay. You just have to eat. "Sister Zhang is a delicate person, not only has a status in the social field, but also speaks at the grassroots level. She handles the adoption or foster care of the welfare home.

Walking into the door of the hotel, Xuan Zhenxi followed Sister Zhang and them upstairs, and on the sofa in the hall, Sen Sen was looking down at his mobile phone. I didn't pay attention to the crowd entering the door, and I didn't see the pity.

At the same time, in the hotel's box, Ji Xiangxiang has been looking for topics to talk about. Faced with Huo Jiyun's indifferent and distant attitude, she was a little discouraged. Biting his lip, Chu Chu looked at Huo Jiyun pitifully.

"Let's eat first." The meal was already served, Huo Jiyun picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. Ji Xiangxiang had no choice but to move her chopsticks, thinking to herself, Huo Shao should not be used to eating with girls.

She is his fan sister, and she still knows him more or less. It has always been said on the Internet that he is a person who doesn't like to talk when eating. Maybe as long as she eats obediently, he will look at her differently. After thinking so, Ji Xiangxiang was no longer entangled.

There were just the two of them in the box, there was no sound of speaking, only a slight chewing sound, and the waiter had been standing aside, his eyes peeking at Huo Jiyun from time to time.

I thought: This man is really handsome, but he is too serious. In the face of a delicate little girl, her face did not change. The appearance of eating is so elegant, and I really envy the dishes that can be eaten by him. On the other hand, the little girl who ate with him made people feel bored.

In another box, Xuan Zhen was pulled by Sister Gu to sit next to several male leaders. She felt embarrassed to face such a meal.

"Miss Ruoxi, huh? I've heard what Sister Gu said a long time ago. When I saw it today, it really deserved its name. A man in his early forties said with a smile. Xuan Ji squeezed out a smile and said modestly: "You praised it falsely." "She's not good at being warm with people, and she's really not good at talking.

"Chen Ju, don't scare other girls. She's thin-skinned, but don't go too far. ”

"Sister Gu, I don't like to hear what you say. We all came out today to get to know each other. It's not too restrictive. After a few glasses of wine, everyone will be familiar with it. ”

"Yes, yes, you're the boss, you're right. However, the little girl is not very good at drinking. Let's just mean it. I can't do it, I'll drink more for her. ”

"Xiao Gu, you are not authentic like this. This hasn't even started yet, you're helping to push the wine! Isn't that a loss of face? ”

Listening to their words, Xuan Zhen felt like sitting on pins and needles. It reminded her of that time in a late-night bar. Although these people in front of them seem to be decent people. It is inevitable that it will be more real because of the vanity of the face.

She doesn't like socializing, but it's inevitable with her current status. If you want someone to help, you naturally have to pay something. Eternal alternation, there is still no shortage of hypocrisy between everyone.
