Chapter 498
"Yanzhuo, I see that you’re getting along well with Xi Wen. I wonder if your parents know about your affairs as well." Mrs. Howe began to get down to business.
"Mom ..." Hearing this, Huo XIwen immediately interjected, "We’ve been on the plane for more than ten hours and we’re all exhausted. Can we let him go back and rest for a while? As for the time being, we’ll chat with you at home again."
Hearing her words, Mrs. Huo also felt that she was being a bit too anxious. She quickly said to Chen Yanzhuo, "Look at me, I forgot that you two have been on the plane for so long. Fine, since you guys are tired, then go back and rest first. We can talk the next time you come to our house for dinner."
Chen Yanzhuo smiled and nodded, "Okay, Auntie. Then I’ll come visit again next time." Goodbye. "
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Mrs. Huo quickly said, "I’ll send you off."
"Mom, please sit down. I’ll send him off." Huo XIwen quickly grabbed her and got up to follow Chen Yanzhuo out of the room.
As the two of them walked out of the door, Huo XIwen said to Chen Yanzhuo beside him, "Thank you for this time."
"There’s no need to thank me. Since I’ve already been misunderstood, I naturally have to do the entire act." Chen Yanzhuo said.
"Not only this, you also saved my life. In short, during this period of time, I thank you for your care. I don’t know what it would be like without you. " When Huo XIwen thought back to that perverted dead end he had encountered, he felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"If it wasn’t for me, someone else would have come to save you. There’s no need to think too much about it, just let the past pass and just treat it as a nightmare." Chen Yanzhuo comforted her.
"I didn’t expect you to be so good at comforting others. Alright, in short, you have saved my life. I will always remember this. "In the future, if there’s anything that you need my help with, just say it. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely help you." Huo XIwen said in a loyal manner.
"Hurry up and go back to rest. The smell of alcohol hasn’t completely dissipated yet." Chen Yanzhuo said.
"Really?" When Huo XIwen heard this, he took a sniff. However, he couldn’t sniff it at all.
The two said goodbye at the door, Huo XIwen went back into the house, and Chen Yanzhuo got in his car and left.
After returning to her room, she quickly went upstairs to take a bath and change her clothes. Her drunkenness had already completely disappeared as she lay on her comfortable bed. Where would she sleep?
He could only take out his phone and prepared to call Luo Qingyun to talk.
Fu Mujun called.
Seeing his name on the caller ID, Huo Xi Wen felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She took two deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and then carefully picked up the call: "Hello ..."
"Are you free tonight?" When the other party spoke, they directly invited him over.
"Yeah, there is." At the same time, she was extremely excited. She knew that he had asked her out of the blue again.
"I’m going to a party tonight. If you don’t have any other arrangements, why don’t you come with me? "Of course, if you don’t want to ..."
"No, I want to go. I’ll go with you." Huo XIwen quickly agreed without waiting for him to finish.
"Alright, it’s 7: 30 in the evening. I’ll come to the residence to pick you up." Fu Mujun said.
However, Huo XIwen was somewhat troubled. Just now, Chen Yanzhuo had come to her home, and now a stranger had come to pick her up. This would probably cause Mrs. Huo to misunderstand, and if Fu Mujun knew about this, then it would be troublesome for her to explain.
In order to avoid this trouble, she could only say, "No need to come pick me up. Just tell me the address and I’ll get the driver to take me there."
"That’s fine. I’ll send the address to your cell phone later. " Fu Mujun did not force the matter and only promised.
"Alright." Huo XIwen happily hung up the phone, jumped off the bed, and began to look for clothes in the closet for dinner.
At 7: 30 in the evening, Huo XIwen arrived at a private office according to the address Fu Mujun had given him.
Under the guidance of the waiter, she was brought into a private room. Upon entering, she saw a few men sitting together, playing bridge.
Fu Mujun was sitting right in front of the door, the first person he saw was her. He waved to her, "Xi Wen, come over here."
Hearing that, Huo XIwen quickly walked up to his side. At that moment, he saw that the other three men at the card table were all looking at her.
"Hello everyone." Huo XIwen greeted everyone out of courtesy.
"It’s the first time Mister Fu has brought a female companion out for a gathering. How rare." A big bearded man sitting on Fu Mujun’s left sized Huo XIwen up and said.
"If it was me, I wouldn’t dare to casually bring such a beautiful woman out for everyone to see." A fat guy across from him joked.
Huo Xiwen listened to their conversation with a slightly uncomfortable feeling in her heart. However, she maintained a smile on her face.
Fu Mujun turned to look at her, and comforted, "You don’t need to bother with these people, they are jealous of me."
Huo XIwen smiled, "I won’t take their words to heart."
After all, they were all insignificant people. Not only would she not take their words to heart, she did not even take them seriously.
Fu Mujun continued to play bridge with them, while Huo XIwen could only sit by the side, bored.
She wasn’t familiar with the bridge, so she didn’t understand much about it. However, she was happy to see how well Fu Mujun played and how he always won the money.
Halfway through the game, the private room door was suddenly pushed open by someone. A man in a suit, looking flustered, walked in from outside and walked to the fat guy’s side and whispered something in his ear. The fat guy threw the card in his hand onto the table and said with a cold smile, "He’s made such a mess, yet he still dares to come and find me?"
"This... "There’s nothing he can do about it now. He’s been searching all over the world for him, and every way he can get out is sealed. Those who run the boat don’t dare to take over his business. Boss, why don’t you help him out? After all ..." The suited man was about to say something when he heard the bearded man cough, "Fatty, you don’t need to talk about your own matters in this room. You should go and settle it first."
Fatty immediately reacted to his reminder and asked the man in the suit, "Where is he now?"
"It’s in the next room. Would you like to see him?" the man in the suit asked.
At this time, the fatty could only throw away all the cards in his hand and apologise to the three people on the table, "Wait for me for a while, I’ll go and take care of a few things before coming over."
