Shen Tinglu narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice was a little cold, "Get in the car."

"Where do you want to take me?" Ming Xi frowned.

"Hospital." The man said concisely, with a bit of impatience on his face, "You don't want to take the initiative to get in the car, do you want me to get out of the car and carry you up?"

"I didn't!" Ming Xi blushed slightly, seeing him open the car door, looking as if he was about to hug her into the car, she reluctantly went around and sat on the other side.

The black Maybach galloped away, and Jiang Mengyue and Huo Chengzhou who were in the corner came out.

"I didn't expect that she was still so obsessed with it." Huo Chengzhou sighed deeply, with regret in his tone, "I thought that after the reunion of the three of us, brothers and sisters, we would surely live a happy life. But now I realize that the relationship between us There is always a Shen Tinglu sandwiched between them."

Jiang Mengyue clenched her fists, and a cold light appeared in her eyes, "I don't care what methods Shen Tinglu used to confuse her, but in the future, I will never compromise because of my family relationship with her!"

Huo Chengzhou's lips curled into a faint smile, he patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I'll talk about this kind of thing later, go back to your room and rest first."

Jiang Mengyue turned around and entered the hotel, Huo Chengzhou once again looked at the direction where Ming Xi and Shen Tinglu left, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When he arrived at the hospital, Ming Xi looked a little embarrassed, "It was actually just a slight bump, so I didn't come to the hospital for an examination at all."

Shen Tinglu turned a blind eye to her words and insisted on asking the doctor to examine her.

The results of the doctor's examination were just as Ming Xi expected, "It's not a big deal. Although the skin is a little bruised now, it will be back to normal in a few days."

Hearing this, Shen Tinglu's slightly frowning brows relaxed.

"You fell out with them?" Walking out of the hospital, he stopped suddenly.

Ming Xi was taken aback, and when he realized that the "they" in his words referred to Jiang Mengyue and Huo Chengzhou, his expression became complicated.

She thought for a while and asked, "Why are you still staring at my every move?"

If Shen Tinglu didn't follow her, how would he know that she broke up with them in the hotel just now.

Shen Tinglu raised his eyebrows, and his tone was natural, "Since we are enemies, of course we have to pay attention to what you are going to do next. Isn't this a kind of self-protection for me?"

Hearing this, Ming Xi was speechless for a while.

But after thinking about it carefully, what he said did make sense.

She was about to say something when the phone rang.

It's a call from an unknown number.

Ming Xi went to the corner to answer the call, and the voice came from a familiar voice, "Miss Ming, do you still remember me?"

It was a gentle middle-aged woman's voice.

It's Huo Yaqing!

Her face changed, "Ms. Huo?"

"It's me." Huo Yaqing's voice was so faint that people couldn't figure out her emotions, "Last time, something unpleasant happened to Miss Ming at Huo's house. I feel very sorry these days, so I hope to be sincere with you. I apologize. If you are free tonight, may I treat you to a meal?"

Although she said sorry, there was no trace of apology in her voice.

Thinking that this person was her own aunt, Ming Xi felt mixed feelings.

Although they were related by blood, she really didn't have a good impression of this man.

Huo Yaqing waited for a while, but did not hear her reply, she sighed deeply and said: "It seems that this time I took the liberty to disturb you again, since you don't want to, then I..."

"Where will we meet tonight?" Ming Xi asked patiently, thinking of other things.

She hasn't recognized her ancestors yet, and the Huo family still has many mysteries that she doesn't know the truth about.

Maybe, she can find some answers from her aunt.

"See you at the Rocky Restaurant at eight o'clock tonight."

Hanging up the phone, Ming Xi held the phone in thought.

It didn't know how long it took before she finally sorted out her thoughts and thought about what she wanted to know tonight.

Thinking of something, Mingxi raised her eyes to look at the place where Shen Tinglu was standing just now, but saw that the man was still standing there, looking at her casually, and there was no trace of impatience on his face.

Ming Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she walked back quickly, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Otherwise, who else can I wait for?" Shen Tinglu asked rhetorically.

She glanced at the time, because she was distracted just now, she stopped in the corner for half an hour after answering the phone.

So this man waited for her for half an hour just now.

She met the man's deep narrow eyes, although Shen Tinglu didn't have a trace of annoyance on his face, but when their eyes collided, Ming Xi still dodged subconsciously, as if she was avoiding something.

"Who's calling?" Shen Tinglu glanced at the mobile phone she held tightly in her palm.

"A friend." Ming Xi replied perfunctorily, "I have other things to do, so I'm going back first."

Without waiting for the man to answer, she turned and left.

Shen Tinglu stared at the back of her fleeing hastily, his eyes darkened a little.

That night, Mingxi came to the appointment on time.

This is a western restaurant with a good style and a beautiful environment. She looked around and found Huo Yaqing in the corner.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Ming Xi walked over quickly, pulled the chair in front of her and sat down.

Huo Yaqing smiled and said, "I'm just here too."

Ming Xi stared at her undisguisedly, Huo Yaqing was wearing a green slim cheongsam today, her long hair was pulled up, and there were precious pearl earrings on her ears.

She always had a decent smile on her face, and she really didn't look like a daughter who had just experienced the death of her father.

"Order whatever you want." Huo Yaqing asked the waiter to bring the menu in front of her.

Ming Xi put the menu aside, stared at her and said, "You suddenly asked me out today, it's not just to apologize to me, right?"

Huo Yaqing chuckled, "Miss Ming is a smart person, why don't you guess why I'm looking for you this time?"

"I don't like to beat around the bush." ​​Ming Xi said with a serious face, "Since you don't have any urgent questions to ask me, why don't you ask me first."

She leaned forward, narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Huo Yaqing and asked word by word: "I... the car accident of your elder brother and sister-in-law was really related to the Shen family? I checked the information, Shen Tingli He's only a teenager, so he doesn't seem to be able to plan that conspiracy."

The smile on Huo Yaqing's face faded a little, she poured red wine into her goblet, shook the glass and said casually: "When the car accident happened, someone found some belongings of the Shen family at the scene of the car accident. It wasn't planned by Shen Tinglu, but he has now become the heir of the Shen family, so of course he has to pay corresponding responsibilities."

"So how do you plan to deal with him? Do you want his life, or do you want to take away all the property of the Shen family?"

"Miss Ming, you really care about Mr. Shen." Huo Yaqing looked at her with a smile, and drank the red wine slowly.

The expression on Ming Xi's face froze slightly, "I didn't care about him, I just..."

"Why do you care so much about the affairs of Huo Chen's family?" Huo Yaqing put down her wine glass, her eyes gradually became sharper, "And you are Shen Tinglu's woman, if you are interested in those things back then, shouldn't you go to Ask him?"

Ming Xi pursed her lips, but did not answer.

Huo Yaqing's expression became a little more profound, "But apart from that, I'm curious about one thing. Miss Ming's appearance is really similar to that elder brother who passed away."

Mingxi frowned slightly, and Huo Yaqing leaned back, "Don't get me wrong, maybe it's just because of my father's sudden death that I feel it. After all, in this world, every day there are various What a coincidence."

"Mom!" Gu Xueer's voice came suddenly.

Ming Xi turned her head and saw her walking towards them in bright clothes.

When Gu Xueer saw that she was also present, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, "Why are you here?"

"Xue'er, you can't be rude!" Huo Yaqing's face turned cold, and she reprimanded her.

Gu Xueer curled her lips, "Mom, I really don't know why you see this woman all day, she is..."

Before she finished speaking, Ming Xi had already stood up, looked at Huo Yaqing and said with a blank expression: "It seems that we can't continue our conversation today."

The last time she saw this mother-daughter drama with her own eyes, no matter what the purpose of Gu Xueer's sudden arrival this time was, it was no longer important to her.

Mingxi turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Xueer was stunned.

When she saw the hint in Huo Yaqing's eyes, she grabbed Mingxi's clothes again, "What's your attitude, do you dislike my identity and feel that I have no right to appear in front of you?"

"I didn't mean that, please let go right now!" Ming Xi pulled her hand away, with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Xue'er! You are really messing around more and more!" Huo Yaqing stood up, her tone full of anger, "Since your father passed away, my doting on you has spoiled you to the limit. If you are still so willful , then there is no need to continue my mother-daughter relationship with me in the future!"

After she finished speaking, she walked around them and strode out.

Gu Xueer stomped her feet angrily, and stared at Ming Xi with hatred, "It's all your fault! If it wasn't because of you, my mother wouldn't be so angry!"

She stretched out her hand to pull Mingxi's hair.

Ming Xi originally thought that Huo Yaqing's warning would calm her down a bit, but she didn't expect that she would dare to do such a presumptuous move.

"hiss--"

Gu Xueer was merciless, she used strength with her hands, and forcibly tore off a few strands of her hair.

Ming Xi gasped in pain, with a cold glint in her eyes, she raised her foot and kicked Gu Xueer's lower abdomen.

"Ah!" Gu Xueer was unprepared and was kicked to the ground forcefully by her.

Huo Yaqing, who had just walked to the door of the restaurant, turned her head when she heard the sound, and her face darkened slightly when she saw the scene where she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Ming Xi tidied up her hair a little, gave Gu Xueer a cold look, turned around and strode out.

"Miss Ming..." Huo Yaqing recovered and looked at her worriedly.

Ming Xi stopped in her tracks, staring at her even colder.
