092 My Lady at the Helm
The only person who was really driven away by the Xu family was Xu Xingguang.
When she said this, her eyes were indifferent, and her expression was quite indifferent.
But Xu Qingnian felt the sadness and pain in Xu Xingguang's heart. Obviously, she used to be the treasure of the Xu family.
Xu Qingnian suddenly realized that he was not qualified to be angry and aggrieved in front of Xu Xingguang. Because she is the one who should really be angry and wronged.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go back." Xu Qingnian said, "It has never been your responsibility or obligation to take care of me."
Hearing this, Xu Xingguang didn't feel happy, nor did he feel relieved.
On the contrary, she actually felt quite uncomfortable.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll send you back myself."
With that, Xu Xingguang opened the door and walked out.
Sister Linlin was standing in the hallway.
Xu Xingguang came out a little quickly, and Sister Linlin didn't have time to adjust her expression.
She looked at Xu Xingguang with an embarrassed expression, obviously hearing Xu Xingguang and Xu Qingnian talking in the room.
"Miss Xu." Sister Linlin reluctantly laughed, and she said, "The old gentleman is going back to Xu's house, so our contract will also be terminated, right?"
Xu Zeqing is going back to Xu's house, and she is willing to follow Mr. Xu back to Xu's house to continue working. That's the wonder of a family, and working in that kind of family atmosphere can be very depressing.
She just wanted to find a job, not to suffer.
The smart Xu Xingguang immediately guessed what Sister Linlin was worried about, and she told Sister Linlin: "Sister Linlin, don't worry, I didn't plan to send you to the Xu family to take care of the old man."
Nodding, Sister Linlin was relieved, but soon showed a low mood.
There is no need to take care of Xu Zeqing, then she should also work at the next employer's house. "Miss Xu, can I stay with you for a few more days? It happened suddenly, and I was able to pick my next employer. I don't want to go home just yet..."
Xu Xingguang waved his hand and said, "Is Sister Linlin interested in continuing to follow?"
"Huh?" Sister Linlin was directly stunned.
"Follow Miss Xu?" Sister Linlin couldn't think of what she could do with Miss Xu, "Miss Xu is healthy, it's useless to keep me, right?"
Xu Xingguang told her, "The Cangshan Yao Field Planting Base has been built, and I need the help of someone I can trust. Sister Linlin is diligent, capable, and down-to-earth, and I think it's a pleasure to get along with you."
"If Sister Linlin is willing, you can stay and help me with things. Help me raise flowers, weed, cook, and dry herbs with me. I'll go out a lot in the future, and you'll be my butler."
After speaking, Xu Xingguang looked at Sister Linlin with a gentle smile and asked her, "Are you willing?"
Sister Linlin was stunned and couldn't believe that this was true.
"Miss Xu, I heard Mr. Huo say that the medicine field base on Cangshan is particularly precious, and it is said that there are retired special soldiers stationed there. Can a rough man like me do a good job?"
Sister Linlin can carry her own catties, she thinks that the management of Cangshan Yao Tian has to be done by professional people.
"With me as a master, you will soon be able to learn it." Xu Xingguang turned around and walked towards the study, she took down the documents on the bookshelf, which were Sister Linlin's personal files.
Xu Xingguang put the file bag in front of Sister Linlin, she sat down on the arm of the chair, and said to Sister Linlin, "I understand your past experience and current situation. You were married because you were abused by the man."
"I've read your information, you were married once, and then divorced. After the divorce, I have been living in your mother's house. Your parents are very face-loving, and they think it would be a shame for a woman not to get married, so they don't have a good attitude towards you."
"Your brother and sister-in-law live with your parents, and they also have a lot of opinions about you, a girl who is old but still at home. If you hadn't sent money home every month, they might have swept you out of the house."
"Therefore, you would rather live in the basement of your employer's house than go back to your own home."
Xu Xingguang looked at Sister Linlin's eyes, a little sad.
"Someone like you, if nothing else, will probably be adrift for the rest of their lives. When you were young, your parents and relatives treated you as a burden to disgrace. When you are old, your nephews and nieces who have an average relationship with you will probably be willing to greet you in order to inherit your inheritance smoothly."
Xu Xingguang's words sounded cruel and mean, but they really entered Sister Linlin's heart.
Sister Linlin sighed with emotion: "I'm not afraid of Miss Xu's jokes, I even had the idea of going to the nunnery to do chores when I get old in the future. As for me, from the moment I got married, I was no longer the daughter of my parents, but the daughter-in-law of someone else's family."
"Later, I got divorced, I lost my in-laws, and my mother's family became someone else's home. Wherever I am, I will send them under the hedge."
"So, it's better to follow *** in the future." Xu Xingguang said: "Follow ***, not only can you make a fortune, but also help you find yourself." Xu Xingguang got up and walked around the desk, patted Sister Linlin's shoulder, and said earnestly, "A woman can divorce, but she can't leave her soul."
Sister Linlin was almost in tears when Xu Xingguang said it, she wiped her eyes, turned her back, and said in a choked voice, "But I'm 35, can I really do it?"
"It's only 35, so young."
Hearing this, Sister Linlin decided to agree to Xu Xingguang and follow her. "Okay, I'll be your helper when you're at home from now on. You're not at home, I'm the housekeeper of this house."
"Okay."
After Sister Linlin went out, Xu Xingguang walked to the piano bench and sat down.
She stared at the black and white keys, muttering for a moment, before raising her arms and playing the keys aimlessly.
But even if it's a casual performance, it doesn't sound messy, but rather a feeling of peace of mind when you listen to it.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrates.
Xu Xingguang stopped playing and turned on his mobile phone, only to find that it was a WeChat message from Huo Wen'an.
He posted a video of a wave blooming with blue starlight, made up of countless glow-in-the-dark algae. Under Huo Wen'an's lens, the blue ocean is like the opening scene of a science fiction movie, which is shocking.
Xu Xingguang watched it twice, and suddenly became interested and sent a video call to Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wenan took the video as soon as possible.
But the camera is not focused on him, but at the ocean below.
Staring at the sparkling blue ocean in the darkness, Xu Xingguang asked Huo Wen'an, "Are you watching the sea on the edge of the cliff?"
Huo Wenan didn't say anything.
Just when Xu Xingguang wondered if the waves were too loud and covered his voice, he heard Huo Wenan's response.
He said, "You're finally going to ignore me?"
During this time, Huo Wenan said goodnight to her every night, but Xu Xingguang never responded to him with half a word.
After being separated for so long, the resentment in Xu Xingguang's heart has long been dissipated.
She asked Huo Wen'an, "Why don't you let me see you?"
Huo Wen'an said, "It's a little ugly."
Xu Xingguang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "How ugly? Can't see anyone?"
Huo Wen'an said, "I can see everyone, but I don't want you to see me like this."
"Your idol baggage is quite heavy."
"You said you'd notice me because of my face." Huo Wen'an sighed a little helplessly: "Starlight, I want to be your ultimate face control."
So don't let her see those ugly looks.
Xu Xingguang's heart was on fire again, but before this anger flared up, the young Huo Wen'an always quietly hid behind the glass window to peek at her, and it appeared in her mind again.
Xu Xingguang suddenly stopped angry.
She just wanted to hurt him well.
"The matter here in Yujiang City is basically coming to an end." She told Huo Wen'an, "After a while, I will go to Xizhou City. After dealing with the affairs of Xizhou, I will leave for Kyoto. The coalition government has been urging me again and again to lead the team as soon as possible."
After listening to Xu Xingguang's arrangement, Huo Wen'an asked a little unwillingly, "What about me?
When are you going to come to Hidden Island?"
Xu Xingguang sneered, "What are you doing on Shenyin Island? Attend your funeral?"
Huo Wen'an choked on her and his chest ached.
Leaning back in his wheelchair, he looked at the enchanting starry sky above his head, and suddenly said, "Forget about the funeral, why don't you come and come with me to the wedding."
He emphatically explained, "Our wedding."
Xu Xingguang hung up his phone directly.
Huo Wen'an looked at the screen of the mobile phone that was suddenly hung up from the video, slightly stunned, and in the next second, he saw Xu Xingguang throwing a dynamite emoji at her.
Huo Wen'an shook his head and smiled.
He controlled his wheelchair and walked down the smooth wheelchair path to his lodgings, and along the way, both the gardener and the guard subconsciously turned sideways and bowed their heads, not daring to look at his face.
Huo Wen'an returned to his manor all the way.
He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair, "Zheng Lie."
A young man in red walked towards him quickly. It was a strange man, who had been standing by the doorpost of the hall, but who seemed to merge with the air around him, and who could not attract anyone's attention.
But the moment Huo Wen'an summoned him, the temperature of the space where he was standing became scorching.
He was like a spark surrounded by withered grass, burning vigorously in an instant.
"At the helm." The man named Zheng Lie stood quietly beside Huo Wen'an and asked him in a low voice, "What do you command?"
"Is there a gardener named Hong Ruhai on the island?"
Everything on the island, from everyone's identity and background, to the planting year of each big tree, is like a string of data engraved in Zheng Lie's memory.
His head is a calculator, which can search for the information Huo Wenan wants in the shortest possible time.
Zheng Lie responded: "Hong Ruhai, from Yujiang City, Xia Kingdom, is 42 years old this year."
Huo Wen'an bowed, "There really is such a person."
Zheng Lie didn't take the initiative to ask Huo Wen'an about the purpose of suddenly mentioning this person, he just quietly stayed by Huo Wen'an's side.
When Huo Wen'an needed him, he could be a sharp and sharp dagger. When Huo Wen'an doesn't need him, he can also be an ethereal cloud of smoke.
Huo Wen'an explained to Zheng Lie: "Transfer him to my side."
Zheng Lie asked, "What about the position?"
Huo Wen'an curled his lips, and he said, "Didn't my mother pity me for being lonely and helpless, and wanted to find someone to be my companion after death. You go and call Hong Ruhai for me, and if anyone sees it and asks, you will say that he looks quite like me."
Zheng Lie's face, which was as perfect and calm as a mask, finally shattered into a mess because of Huo Wen'an's words.
Zheng Lie suspected that he had misheard.
Stunned, he asked, "Do I really say that?"
"Well, that's true."
Zheng Lie left in a trance.
Although Shenyin Island is an island, the area of the island is more than 3,000 square kilometers. It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, a very powerful emperor was secretly buried here.
The place where the emperor was buried was the heart of Shenyin Island.
Legend has it that the place where the emperor was buried was a mysterious weapon that could control the entire world. The reason why the Huo family decided to retire to Shenyin Island was to find the legendary ultimate weapon.
As for what the weapon was and where it was hidden, the Huo family had been on the island for so many years, and there was never a clue.
By now, almost no Huo family believes in that legend.
There is an island inland sea in the middle of Shenyin Island, and the Huo family is bloodline, so they live near the inland sea. The gardeners and guards are scattered throughout the island's residential areas.
Many gardeners, from working on the island to retiring and returning home, have never been able to approach the inland sea area in their entire lives.
Hong Ruhai is lucky, because he is handsome and knows how to deal with people, after entering the island, it only took two or three years to become a god
The outermost residential area of the Hidden Island was moved to a high-level staff living quarters not far from the inner island.
After moving here, on the 20th of every month, he can follow the captain into the island's garden to do things. This also means that he is one step closer to getting closer to the real Huo family.
The Huo family does not restrict the activities of the family members outside of working hours, so there are also many bars, chess and card halls and various leisure and entertainment places on the island for these people who come from all over the world to work.
Hong Ruhai is playing snooker.
After work, he didn't have to wear a uniform work uniform, so he changed into his own private clothes.
He wore a smoky gray long-sleeved shirt, his long legs were wrapped in a thin fabric of a suit, and when he bent over to serve, his posture was full of sexual tension, and he could see the women next to him dry.
Hong Ruhai is a very Confucian person, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a meticulous back, looking like a talented and respected professor who is influenced by the fragrance of books.
But his figure is very sexy.
His appearance, placed on Shenyin Island, is also a bit beautiful.
If you look closely, you can find that Xu Zeqing's identity actually has a bit of a Hong Ruhai temperament. But if they stand together, they can clearly distinguish who is a luxury and who is an impostor.
Xu Zeqing has been imitating and learning Hong Ruhai's bearing image, but he is an example of Dongshi, and he has learned nondescriptly, disobediently and funny.
Zheng Lie was hidden in the back of the crowd.
When he is silent and does not want to be exposed, no one will find out about his existence.
Zheng Lie looked at the man who was killing all sides on the table with a cue with a heavy expression, and he admitted that the other party had a good appearance condition, was over forty years old, and looked very charming.
Hong Ruhai is in line with the fantasies of all gentlemen and uncles controlling girls.
But no matter how good-looking he is, he won't be able to attract the helm.
Zheng Lie frowned, walked to the billiards, and pressed Hong Ruhai's shoulder.
The moment he pressed Hong Ruhai's shoulder, Hong Ruhai felt like he had been pierced through a bone by an invisible nail, nailed to the table, unable to move.
Zheng Lie whispered to him, "The helmsman wants to see you."
No one else heard this sentence.
After Hong Ruhai heard Zheng Lie's words clearly, Junrong, who was frowning in pain, suddenly became stunned.
It wasn't until he followed Zheng Lie out of the leisure hall all the way and saw the helm order that Zheng Lie took out, that he swallowed his saliva a little nervously, and just believed that the helm really wanted to see him.
But why should the helm see himself as a nobody?
He has been working on Shenyin Island for more than ten years, and the most glorious moment is only entering Mrs. Huo's yard to prune potted plants. As for the gentlemen and ladies of the Huo family, he didn't have a chance to see them.
Not to mention, the helm that makes people subconsciously shut up when they mention it.
Hong Ruhai had never seen Huo Wen'an, and naturally he didn't know Zheng Lie beside Huo Wen'an. He didn't know what to call the other party, so he said stiffly, "This gentleman, do you know what is the matter with me at the helm?"
Zheng Lie: "Don't ask about the helm."
After speaking, Zheng Lie swept his eyes at Hong Ruhai's mouth, and wanted that needle to sew up the other party's mouth with a lot of words.
How did he know why he was at the helm and wanted to see Hong Ruhai!
Zheng Lie drove the car and took Hong Ruhai to the outside of Huo Wen'an's manor compound, and when he got out of the car, Zheng Liechao took a few steps in front of him, and then disappeared into Hong Ruhai's field of vision strangely.
Hong Ruhai discovered this strange scene, and immediately thought of those comments about the new helm.
They say that the new helmsman is a ghost who crawled out of the sea of blood and walked in the world in human skin.
The hidden island controlled by him is hell on earth.
According to this statement, then the brother in red just now is the most evil ghost in the helm.
Hong Ruhai came here for the first time, and every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a needle. There was no wind or rain tonight, but his heart was experiencing a landslide and tsunami.
Finally, he made his way into the manor without any problems.
On a moonlit night, the black manor is prostrate on the top of the mountain, like the devil leaving its claws on the earth, watching the wind and grass on this island.
The gates of the manor slowly open automatically to the sides.
Hong Ruhai walked in cautiously, and it took more than ten minutes to cross the lawn and come to the hall of the main building of the manor.
The interior of the manor is decorated in a luxurious and dark style, and the gorgeous retro crystal chandelier hangs down from the ceiling more than 20 meters high, and if it accidentally falls, it can smash Hong Ruhai into a meatloaf.
Hong Ruhai stood under the lamp, not daring to run around.
He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes hidden in the shadows, and he knew that the helm must be watching over him somewhere.
Hong Ruhai didn't know what the helm was going to do when he called him over, and he suspected that it was the helm testing him.
Once the test is passed, maybe he will be able to stay in this manor and work for the helm?
Or was it that the small actions he did behind his back were discovered and reported to the helm?
But at the helm of the day, where can I have time to take care of a little minion like him?
Hong Ruhai thought about it in a mess, and there was a layer of cold in his body.
Whoa—
Whoa—
Whoa—
Hong Ruhai heard the sound of someone using his fingers to light a hard object.
He looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw the back of a black wheelchair with an exaggerated appearance.
The man in the wheelchair, wearing a long shirt that blends with black, gently raised his left hand, and the python wrench on his thumb struck the armrest of the wheelchair, making a clanging sound.
Seeing this, Hong Ruhai hurriedly bent down and said resignedly: "Hong Ruhai, a silvicultural technician from the garden operation department, greet the helm."
Huo Wen'an didn't respond to him, still tapping the handrail with a wrench every time.
Every time he knocked more, Hong Ruhai's heart retracted.
He finally realized that the helm was not about reusing him, he was clearly asking him for his guilt!
Hong Ruhai is not an honest man, in order to be reused by the Huo family, he has done many despicable things. But he didn't know which piece of incriminating evidence he was holding in the helm's hand.
Afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, Hong Ruhai didn't dare to say nonsense.
When he noticed that the frequency of the rattle was getting slower and slower, Hong Ruhai knew that the patience at the helm was running out.
Hong Ruhai suddenly knelt on one knee on the hard and cold black floor, and sincerely begged Huo Wen'an's forgiveness: "Lord at the helm, I don't know what mistakes I have made, please give me an instruction from Lord Helm."
Huo Wen'an finally opened his mouth, and he said, "Afforestation technician?"
Hong Ruhai was stunned.
Subconsciously replied, "I'm a silvicultural technician."
"Huh." Huo Wen'an felt a little funny, and he ridiculed Hong Ruhai: "I thought that Your Excellency was an old man who was keen to be a matchmaker for others, but I didn't see that Your Excellency's job turned out to be a afforestation technician."
Hearing this, Hong Ruhai's head buzzed non-stop.
When the month is old, he is a matchmaker.
In his life, he has only been a matchmaker once, and he is still a matchmaker between the helmsman and the vegetative niece of the Xu family.
Could it be that the helmsman knows about this?
Huo Wen'an praised Hong Ruhai very sincerely: "Your Excellency is worthy of being a forestry technician, and the landscape you have created is beautiful. The marriage partner you have chosen below is also the best in the world."
Hong Ruhai thought that Huo Wenan was angry.
Before Huo Wen'an got angry, Hong Ruhai hurriedly kowtowed and confessed: "Lord at the helm, please forgive me, I was also confused for a while, so I calculated the Lord at the helm."
Dare to calculate the helmsman of the Huo family, Hong Ruhai's fate will not be easy.
Before Huo Wen'an said a more tragic punishment, Hong Ruhai took the initiative to plead guilty: "Lord at the helm, the villain knows that he has done something wrong, and voluntarily cuts off his tongue to make amends for your crimes. In the future, this mouth will never say another word!"
Grunt, the wheelchair suddenly turned.
Huo Wen'an leaned on the wheelchair, staring playfully at Hong Ruhai, who was lying on the ground like a dog and begging for forgiveness, feeling a little funny. "For the sake of the future, your Xu family has really done everything. Is the Xu family's feng shui bad, or is the Xu family's family style bad?"
Shaking his head, Huo Wenan raised his wrench again and tapped on the armrest, and said, "Zheng Lie, do you hear me, Mr. Hong voluntarily asked to cut off his tongue in order to ask for forgiveness."
Zheng Lie soon appeared behind Hong Ruhai, he pressed Hong Ruhai's shoulder, looked up at Huo Wen'an, and asked him, "Then, do you want to cut it?"
Huo Wen'an thought about it seriously before saying, "Mrs. Huo is considerate, knowing that my life is short, she has already asked someone to prepare a coffin for me. Afraid that I would be lonely after I died, he specially prepared a coffin for my future wife."
A cold glint flashed in Huo Wen'an's eyes, and he said, "Since Mr. Hong is so keen on marriage, it is better to go to the coffin and lie down first, and experience the happiness of marriage."
"We are civilized people, and we don't kill. Zheng Lie, you remember to send someone to take care of Mr. Hong, and entertain him with good food and drink, but you can't let him have any accidents."
When Hong Ruhai heard this, he trembled with fright. "Helmsman, kill me! I beg you to kill me!" He would rather die than be locked up in a coffin, in darkness, suffocation, and fear day after day.
Huo Wen'an shook his head, "Your life, whether you live or die, depends on the arrangement of our future helmsman."
Hong Ruhai instantly understood the meaning of Huo Wen'an's words.
The future helmsman he is talking about, is it Xu Xingguang's girl?
Seeing Hong Ruhai's pupils trembling, Huo Wenan knew that Hong Ruhai had already guessed his relationship with Xu Xingguang.
Nodding with satisfaction, Huo Wen'an sighed again with great sincerity: "Mr. Hong, your heart is not good, but your vision is indeed very unique. I'm very happy with the person you chose for me, and I like it."
Huo Wenan waved his hand, and Zheng Lie dragged Hong Ruhai to experience the happiness of lying on the board.
Huo Wenan leaned weakly on the wheelchair, slowed down for a while, and then edited the message and sent it to Xu Xingguang-
[Good night. 】
After thinking about it, Huo Wen'an felt that something was still missing, and sent six words very solemnly-
[My lady at the helm. 】
Just when Huo Wenan thought that Xu Xingguang still wouldn't take care of him, Xu Xingguang replied to him.
She threw him an emoji of Huo Wuxing flicking a pig's tail at the camera, and said: [Dead pervert, get away! 】
The moment Huo Wen'an saw the news, he couldn't help but chuckle, and this laugh touched his internal organs again, and he coughed violently.
When the coughing stopped, he turned on his phone again, stared at the emoji Huo Wuxing for a while, and said with emotion: "We are fearless babies and have grown up again. Wait, Daddy will build you a villa on the island, the kind with a piggy pool."
