To My Dear Mr. Huo

No matter how much Lian Jin and Qi Xiwei don't get along, they are still his own children, right?

He may not have had any evil intentions in taking the child away. Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had both thought before that maybe Lian Jin wanted to keep the child so that he could threaten Qi Xiwei and others.

This may not be the case. But now a week has passed. If you really want to threaten Qi Xiwei, or if you want to use your child to hurt Qi Xiwei, there are obviously plenty of opportunities.

If he didn't do this, doesn't it mean that he might have dealt with the child's funeral by himself?

Huo Jinyao had never thought of this possibility before. However: "There are only a few cemeteries in Rongcheng. If this is the case, there is no reason why I can't find him."

"Then what if he didn't bury the child in the cemetery at all?"

Before the reform in Rongcheng, it was also the oldest burial site. There are also large and small cemeteries on the few mountains around Rongcheng.

Some of them are even cemeteries with excellent Feng Shui that have been circled by some aristocratic families before.

Na Lian Jin was from Rongcheng, so he might have had the same situation in his family. If so, then he might have put the child to rest.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes. He was only thinking about the cemetery, not the mountain tomb.

However, as he touched his chin, his tone contained a hint of subtle doubt.

"Why do I feel like he doesn't seem like someone who would do such a good thing?"

"Not necessarily." Su Qingsang is a doctor, and he prefers to think of people in a good light: "After all, he is also the father of the child, so it is understandable that he will devote himself to the child. Right?"

Huo Jinyao didn't say anything. Seeing the seriousness in Su Qingsang's eyes, he suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

"Okay. I'll ask Yang Wenchang to check the mountain tombs in Rongcheng."

It's true that Rongcheng is a big place, but innocent things don't happen every day, especially for such a young child. It's probably possible to find out with a quick check.

Su Qingsang nodded and followed Huo Jinyao in the direction of parking, but suddenly stopped.

"Huo Jinyao?"

"kindness?"

"If that's really the case, I'm afraid Qi Xiwei will be concerned about it again, right?"

She wanted to bury the child next to her mother, but Lian Jin disposed of the child privately.

If they were really buried in a mountain tomb, Qi Xiwei knew that she would not agree. By then, the children would have been buried. If Qi Xiwei refuses, there will be another scene.

Why does she now feel that the relationship between Qi Xiwei and Lian Jin will be more difficult to sever?

Huo Jinyao can naturally think of things she can think of. Thinking of Lian Jin sending Su Qingsang to jail, he looked worried.

"He's quite good at calculating."

Lian Jin secretly took the child away with this thought in mind. I'm afraid there's another level, you want Qi Xiwei to bow her head voluntarily?

It's a pity that he underestimated Qi Xiwei's stubbornness. I'm afraid she won't compromise easily.

When he met Su Qingsang's clear and understanding gaze, he cleared his throat.

"But of course, those are none of our business, let them go as they please."

Su Qingsang smiled faintly and reached out to squeeze Huo Jinyao's palm.

"I'm not against you helping Qi Xiwei. She is your classmate. She has helped you several times and has been a life-saving grace to you. If she is in trouble, it is human nature and friendship for you to help her. However, I do not I don’t agree with you interfering in Qi Xiwei and her husband’s affairs.”

"Qingsang?"

"No matter how Qi Xiwei and Lian Jin argue, they are still husband and wife. Regardless of the quarrel or hatred, it is their own business. As bystanders, it is better not to interfere."

Huo Jinyao pursed his lips into a straight line. Naturally, he would not interfere in the affairs between Qi Xiwei and his wife, but he didn't like that boy Lian Jin, so it was okay to cause him some mischief.

Blinking, he opened the door for Su Qingsang: "Okay, wife, don't worry. I will listen to you."

Su Qingsang turned her face to look at him, then suddenly moved her face closer and met his eyes: "Why do I not believe it so much?"

"Wife." Huo Jinyao covered his heart with one hand: "I am so sad that you think of me like this. Do you think I am the kind of person who is nosy?"

"Indeed not." He's just a little petty and will repay those who have schemed against him.

Su Qingsang didn't dare to say the latter sentence. Seeing that Huo Jinyao was still holding his heart, she laughed a little and stepped forward to hook his neck.

"Okay, I was wrong, okay? My Mr. Huo is the most detached, the least likes to meddle in other people's business, and the most generous. Okay?"

"Tsk, wife. If you praise me like this, it's better not to praise me at all." Huo Jinyao put his arm around her waist. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips: "You are so reluctant to praise me. Wouldn't you rather not praise me?"

"How can there be reluctance? In my heart, my dear husband is wise and mighty, and I am very willing to do so."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyao moved his lips towards her ear: "If you are willing, then how about a willing show tonight?"

While talking, he actually bit her earlobe lightly.

Su Qingsang's face felt hot and she looked around. Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Huo Jinyao smiled, then leaned over and nibbled on her with some evil intentions: "What am I afraid of when I kiss my own wife?"

This person has really become more and more out of shape recently. Su Qingsang wanted to laugh at him, but she was relieved when she thought that it was herself that made him so uncontrollable.

The corners of his lips were raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.

………………

Lian Jin hadn't been found yet, so Huo Jinyao took this matter to heart and asked Yang Wenchang to just send people to look for him.

But several days passed, but there was still no news. Lian Jin seemed to have disappeared from this world. Huo Jinyao didn't believe that he would just let it go.

If he really stopped pestering her, it would be a good thing for Qi Xiwei. However, I was afraid that if he took the baby away, he would be plotting some bad tricks behind him. If that was the case, he would have to defend Qi Xiwei.

Although he promised Su Qingsang not to interfere in their husband and wife's affairs, he would not let anyone bully his savior.

Yang Wenchang knocked on the door when Huo Jinyao was finishing a video conference with an overseas company. Huo Jinyao saw him and thought he was going to tell him about Lian Jin's whereabouts.

Little did they know that Yang Wenchang stood aside, and the person standing behind him was Liu Tongjia.

Huo Jinyao's expression did not change when he saw it was her. Thinking of what Liu Tongjia said in the hospital before, she finally stood up.

Yang Wenchang brought the people and left. The office door closed, and Liu Tongjia walked in, her expression seemed a bit sarcastic.

Huo Jinyao was a little surprised when he saw her standing there motionless. Liu Tongjia seems to be becoming more and more cautious in front of him recently?

"Mom. Is something wrong?"

This was said calmly, with no objection at all. Liu Tongjia's heart was stabbed again.

She is Huo Jinyao's mother. She needs to have a name to come to see her son?

"Yeah, it's nothing."

Nothing happened and she rushed to the company? Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows, thinking of something he heard yesterday.

"Uncle and aunt seemed to have gone to the prison to visit Huo Yifan yesterday, and then went to the old house to see grandpa, right?"

Although grandpa said before that he would not interfere with the company he took over, he even made a will in advance. The implication is that most of the shares in his name will be given to his own name.

But grandpa is also a person who cares about family ties. If uncles and aunts can't stand it, take pity on their son, and beg in front of grandpa, grandpa will inevitably become soft-hearted again.

Liu Tongjia looked at Huo Jinyao dumbfounded: "You - you, you let people follow them?"

"It can't be called stalking, it's just people watching."

Huo Jinyao's voice was calm. He signed the document in his hand and put it aside: "They have tried to make things difficult for me several times. I always have to take precautions and strike first, right?"

This is true, and Liu Tongjia still doesn't think he was wrong. But that's not what she came to say today.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

"What's up?"

"No. It's just that your grandpa said that you haven't been back to the old house for a long time."

Huo Jinyao has indeed not returned to his old home for a while because he was busy with Qi Xiwei's affairs.

But tomorrow is not the weekend, so grandpa may say this because he really wants to see him.

Huo Jinyao looked at his calendar. Except for special circumstances, his daily work has been arranged.

"No time." He made a contract with a company tomorrow night. In the evening, Su Qingsang said that she was not on duty and there was a newly released movie that she wanted to watch. He had already promised Su Qingsang, so naturally he would not go back on his word.

Speaking of which, he has a home theater at home, and given his status, he can just tell people what new movies he wants and have them delivered.

However, Su Qingsang likes to go to the cinema to watch movies, saying that she prefers that feeling.

In the past few days, perhaps because of Qi Xiwei's incident, he and Su Qingsang had become more intimate and caring.

This is a rare experience. He didn't get tired of getting along with a woman. Instead, he wanted to get closer to her more and more every day, feeling fresh and new.

The more you get to know Su Qingsang, the more you will find her shining points, and the more you will fall in love with her.

She is cold but not indifferent. Smart and not rigid. Kind but not blind. Apart from occasionally attending his childhood gatherings, the two of them just stay at home and do their own thing.

Occasionally go out on dates, like lovers nowadays. This feeling is very subtle.

The smile on his face was very shallow, and it flashed by, but it did not escape Liu Tongjia's eyes.

Judging from his expression, he must be thinking of Su Qingsang. But with two cold words, he dismissed Liu Tongjia.

She sat there, feeling cold all over her body.

"Any thing else?"

Huo Jinyao regarded the soft words Liu Tongjia said that day as her temporary disorder.

Liu Tongjia didn't say anything. She stood up and walked out as if she was lost.

In fact, tomorrow is her birthday, and she hopes that if possible, Huo Jinyao will come to celebrate her birthday.

For so many years, because she didn't like Huo Jinyao and because she never recovered from the loss of a son and a daughter, she couldn't celebrate her birthday for more than ten years.

But Huo Jinyao didn't know her birthday and didn't intend to celebrate it with her. When he even rejected her with such a cold attitude, Liu Tongjia felt sad.

What she cares about now is not a birthday, she just cares that her relationship with Huo Jinyao seems to be irreparable.

Huo Jinyao picked up the document next to him, and occasionally looked over from the corner of his eye, and saw Liu Tongjia's lonely back.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly for a moment.

…………

"What's wrong?"

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao and found that he was a little absent-minded.

The two of them had just finished eating, and Su Qingsang was sorting out papers with a notebook. Huo Jinyao sat on the other side and handled some official matters with a notebook.

After she organized all the papers and saved them, she found that Huo Jinyao was staring at the screen as if in a daze.

She leaned in front of him, but saw no reaction from him.

Raising his hand and waving it in front of him, Huo Jinyao finally came to his senses. ,

"fine."

He just suddenly thought of what Liu Tongjia looked like today.

"You don't look like someone who is fine." Su Qingsang looked at him, and her first reaction was to think of Qi Xiwei: "Isn't it Qi Xiwei who knows that Lian Jin took the child away?"

Huo Jinyao shook his head, looked at Su Qingsang, and finally mentioned casually that Liu Tongjia came to see him today.

"Your mother wants you to go home for dinner tomorrow?"

"kindness."

Su Qingsang's lips pursed slightly. Liu Tongjia rarely came to see them except for Huo Jinyao's birthday last time——

"Your mother is looking for you just to let you go home for dinner?"

"You don't believe it either, right?" Huo Jinyao didn't believe it either: "I didn't expect that she was so interested in Huo Yifan."

In order to plead for Huo Yifan, she showed kindness to him again and again and spoke softly to him. Huo Jinyao admitted that he felt a little uncomfortable.

It was also because of this discomfort that he never thought of showing mercy when dealing with Huo Yifan.

"This -" Su Qingsang looked at the look of confusion in his eyes, and thought of Liu Tongjia's reaction on Huo Jinyao's birthday, but she felt that it was not like that.

Su Qingsang confirmed her suspicion the next day, and she called back to her old home. The person who answered the phone happened to be the housekeeper, Uncle Cheng.

Uncle Cheng has been the housekeeper of the Huo family for more than 20 years. Su Qingsang asked tentatively and then asked. It turned out to be Liu Tongjia’s birthday.

Without saying anything else, he hung up the phone. Su Qingsang sat in the office, a little distracted.

Today is Liu Tongjia's birthday. She went to see Huo Jinyao yesterday, just hoping that Huo Jinyao could celebrate her birthday with her.

Su Qingsang stood up and went to talk to Sun Huiya next door. When I came back, I changed my clothes, picked up my bag, and left first.

Su Qingsang had a headache as he drove out of the hospital. Liu Tongjia's status naturally lacks everything.

As a result, she didn't know what to give. Moreover, this gift was given for Huo Jinyao.

Su Qingsang thought for a while and called Li Qianxue to get her opinion.

After hanging up the phone, Su Qingsang's car stopped at the intersection of Cultural Street. After getting off the car and walking less than two hundred meters, we arrived at the entrance of Gulangxuan. This is the largest antique store in Rongcheng. When she had a small party with Huo Jinyao's gang, she heard someone mention that it was run by Wan Xianyang's family.

She didn't intend to give Wan Xianyang's name when she entered. Checked it out in the store first.

In fact she rarely came to such a place. Gulangxuan is located in the middle of a cultural street in Rongcheng.

This is the largest store on this street. There are three floors up and down. It imitates the design of the old counter in ancient times, with various vases and ornaments placed on the surrounding shelves.

Su Qingsang didn't know how to do it, so he thought Du Gai was something of age.

The shopkeeper inside seemed to be entertaining guests. When he saw Su Qingsang coming in, he didn't come over to greet him immediately.

Su Qingsang didn't mind either. She started reading it on the ancient shelf. She had decided that if she couldn't pick anything out, she would call Wan Xianyang.

Anyway, it's just a thought, it doesn't matter what gift it is.

She walked a few steps and paused in front of a jade sculpture. This jade carving is not big. It's only about the size of two palms. But in such a small place, there are sculptures of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Every immortal is lifelike, and even the magical instruments held by the Eight Immortals look extremely delicate.

This jade ornament is nice and can be given as a gift, but it seems not very good to give it to a female elder.

"You like this?"

Su Qingsang was startled when a voice suddenly sounded behind her. The familiar voice made her quickly turn her head, only to realize that Zhang Yichen was standing behind her.

Su Qingsang was greatly surprised when she saw it was him. More than two months have passed since I returned from disaster relief in City C.

I haven't seen him for more than two months. Zhang Yichen looks darker and seems to have lost weight.

"Cousin." Su Qingsang bowed slightly and asked in a slightly uncomfortable voice, "Why are you here?"

"I have a few days to rest and come here to see the old man. Then next month is my father's birthday, so I want to come here to pick out a gift for him."

"Oh." Su Qingsang said oh and said nothing more. Zhang Yichen glanced at the jade sculpture: "Do you like this?"

"It's not that I like it, I just think it's very exquisite." Su Qingsang thought for a while and said it truthfully: "I want to give it to my elders, but I don't think it's appropriate."

"If you buy it for yourself to play with, it doesn't matter. If you want to give it to someone, it's really not appropriate."

"Why?" She already had an idea, but because of Zhang Yichen's words, she couldn't help but ask one more question.

"This Xiuyu is not jadeite. If you are giving it away, it would be better to give it jadeite."

Su Qingsang was really embarrassed at this moment: "I don't quite understand. Aren't they all jade?"

"Different."

When Zhang Yichen spoke, he glanced at the shopkeeper behind him, then turned to look at Su Qingsang.

"If you want to give it away, their good stuff is upstairs. I'll take you there."

Zhang Yichen was obviously very familiar with this place and took Su Qingsang upstairs while talking.

Su Qingsang glanced at his back and decided to refuse, but she really didn't have much time to choose slowly now.

When I got to the second floor, I realized that there was a whole other world here. The store below is full of beautiful things. Then this upstairs is a different style.

Each grid is filled with different antique vases and ornaments. But compared with the following, it is not on the same level of refinement.

"Although Wan Xianyang loves to play, he has a good sense in this regard. His ancestors were in the antique business, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he is good at this aspect. You can take a look at the things he collects, which rarely miss the mark. "

Zhang Yichen's steps slowed down a bit, and he glanced around, as if he was explaining to her casually.

"good."

Su Qingsang still has great trust in Huo Jinyao's abilities. Wan Xianyang had said it several times before, giving her a chance to come here and take a look.

She took a few casual steps and found that Zhang Yichen was always about one meter in front of her.

This distance is excellent, a very safe distance. Also, a very measured distance.

Su Qingsang glanced at him, withdrew his gaze, and began to look around.

There are many good things, but the ones that can be given to Liu Tongjia as birthday gifts always feel a bit lacking.

It's not like the Huo family doesn't have blue and white porcelain, ancient calligraphy and paintings.

"What? There's nothing you like?"

"No." Su Qingsang didn't dare to say that he didn't like it. After all, every item in it was worth a lot of money: "I just don't think it's appropriate to give it away."

"Send to elders? Female elders?"

"Yes." Su Qingsang did not deny it.

Zhang Yichen looked a little serious and glanced at her: "Let's go and have a look on the third floor."

Su Qingsang was no longer surprised by his familiarity with this place. I followed him upstairs and found that it was even emptier.

Inside are several rooms. A guy came over and greeted Zhang Yichen first.

"Master Zhang, are you here? Do you want to ask Master Wan to come over?" The waiters are all very discerning people. Zhang Yichen has been here several times, so he recognizes him.

"No, I'll take a look first."

When Zhang Yichen was talking, he glanced at the waiter: "By the way, is there anything you can give to the elders? Show us to us."

"That's such a coincidence. Mr. Zhang, you really came at the right time today. Wan Ye gambled on stones a few months ago and won a lot of good things. No, the counter inside just saw off a distinguished customer. I It has just been packed up. There are still a lot of treasures left, so come with me."

"Lead the way."

"Please come this way."

The waiter was very smart and led Zhang Yichen and Su Qingsang to a small room next to them.

Pushing the door open and going in, there is a small counter inside. There are many jade ornaments and some antiques placed on the ancient shelves on both sides.

Looking further on the wall, there are several calligraphy and paintings, which seem to be old, but Su Qingsang doesn't know the difference. I just feel that the environment here is very elegant and well decorated.

While she was still admiring it, the guy on the other end had already led them to the counter.

There were some bracelets there, not many, just a few. Even if Su Qingsang didn't understand, he could tell that these jadeites were of high quality.

The guy is a good judge of people, and the introduction is only to the point. After talking about the things in it, I picked out two of them that looked the roundest and put them on the counter.

"Master Zhang, what do you think of these two?"

Su Qingsang had not yet taken her eyes away from the other jade jewelry on the counter, but the guy's next words made her almost choke on her own saliva.

"Mr. Zhang, look at this. It's very fresh and of good quality. See if your girlfriend likes it?"

girlfriend?

Who is his girlfriend?

"I'm not his girlfriend."

Necessary explanations are still needed. Su Qingsang has no intention of causing anyone, even a stranger, to misunderstand.
