To My Dear Mr. Huo

The moment Shi Mengwan saw the man, it was too late to step back.

She didn't expect that she would meet Qiu Yanbo here.

She felt guilty for a moment, and when she wanted to step back, Qiu Yanbo had already seen her. She has a good relationship with Su Qingsang and has met Qiu Yanbo several times.

She nodded at the other person, passed him and continued walking outside. She didn't have a close relationship with Qiu Yanbo, and she wasn't worried that he would tell Su Qingsang.

It doesn't matter if you meet him. But when she took two steps, she saw that Qiu Yanbo was followed by others.

That person was none other than Su Chenghui and Huo Jinyao.

Hello, uncle. She could not say hello to Qiu Yanbo, but she had to say hello to Su Chenghui.

Huo Jinyao. Hello.

She has a good relationship with Su Qingsang, and she is relatively familiar with Huo Jinyao after spending time together, so they call him by his first name.

Yes. Huo Jinyao nodded. He was the one who was most familiar with Shi Mengwan among the three people: Are you alone?

Come to have dinner with a client. Huo Jinyao saw Shi Mengwan: What about you?

Same as you. Shi Mengwan smiled: I asked you why you didn't accompany Qing Sang to Japan.

Yes. He really wanted to accompany Qingsang to Japan. The reason why he didn't go was that there was a cooperation project to discuss recently, and the other was that he had the same idea as Shi Mengwan, and wanted to give Su Qingsang advice. Caiping's chance to be alone.

Looking at Su Chenghui, he seemed not to hear.

You guys should be busy. I'll just take a look. Shi Mengwan tried her best to smile like usual.

Huo Jinyao wouldn't pay attention to women other than Su Qingsang, so he didn't think too much about it.

The three of them said goodbye to Shi Mengwan and went to the box in the opposite direction. While Shi Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little worried at the same time.

Lin City is only so big, but she followed Zhan Haoze out to eat like this.

You know, Zhan Haoze seems to be cooperating with Huo Jinyao's company. If you encounter...

She didn't even dare to think about it.

I no longer feel like admiring the scenery outside. Shi Mengwan returned to the box again.

Zhan Haoze seemed to be on the phone. When he saw her coming in, he said to the other end of the phone and hung up.

finish watching?

without.

Shi Mengwan walked to the seat opposite him and sat down. She glanced at him, took a sip of the tea in front of her.

The tea was already cold. Zhan Haoze looked at her and raised his hand to refill the teacup in front of her.

Shi Mengwan held the cup. The warm tea cup made her worry a little less, but she was still a little worried.

She didn't seem to be in the right mood. She was in high spirits when she went out just now, but now her attitude suddenly changed.

Zhan Haoze looked at her but said nothing. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank tea.

After a moment of silence, Shi Mengwan bit her lip, put down the tea cup and looked at Zhan Haoze.

What's wrong?

fine.

Shi Mengwan wanted to say something else, but the waiter had already started serving the food.

Three cold, three hot and one soup. The portions are not much. But the dishes look good and are exquisite.

Shi Mengwan is a foodie. Although the dishes in front of her are local dishes from Lin City, they are very appetizing.

Picking up the chopsticks, Shi Mengwan put the incident with Huo Jinyao out of her mind for the time being.

After finishing the meal, when Zhan Haoze stood up and was about to leave, he found Shi Mengwan sitting there without moving.

Zhan Haoze stopped and stood at the door looking at her, as if he didn't understand what she was thinking.

Zhan Haoze, wait a moment.

She stood up and walked to him, refusing to let him open the door.

Well, I just met Huo Jinyao.

kindness?

Huo Jinyao? What is he doing here? Zhan Haoze thought about it and immediately thought of it.

Li Junsheng came to Lin City. He and Huo Jinyao grew up together and took great care of Huo Jinyao.

There was a big project recently, and Huo Jinyao wanted to support his father-in-law's family, so he enlisted the Li family to cooperate.

Is there a back door here?

back door?

Yes. Shi Mengwan nodded: I think, if possible, we should not encounter them, right?

What do you mean? Zhan Haoze's face suddenly changed color: I'm shameless?

Isn't it? Shi Mengwan uncharacteristically did not give in as before. She looked up at him. She cleared her throat, with a hint of bitterness that she didn't even notice.

Well, it's not that you are shameless, it's that I am shameless.

She lowered her head to look at him with a calm look: You have a fiancée, tell me, how can I appear in front of people with you?

Especially that person is Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang's husband. If he was allowed to see him with Zhan Haoze, he would definitely tell Su Qingsang.

I told you, I don't have a fiancée.

What about Miss Chen? Shi Mengwan didn't want to be aggressive, nor did she want to question him, nor did she want to make others feel that way. But she couldn't help it.

She's not your fiancée, so who is she? Your girlfriend?

Zhan Haoze's face looked ugly now, and his lips pursed into a straight line. Anyone who knew him would know that this was a precursor to an attack.

But Shi Mengwan didn't understand him. What she understood was the big brother in her dream.

Not the Zhan Haoze in front of her who had been separated from her for more than ten years and had forgotten everything about that year.

Shi Mengwan, let me say it again, she is not my girlfriend. Nor is she my fiancée.

oh.

Shi Mengwan said lightly, with an obvious attitude of disbelief.

Zhan Haoze looked at her face, suddenly held her in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.

She had just drank Longjing, and there was still the fragrance of tea leaves in her mouth, with a slight bitterness in the fragrance.

Shi Mengwan made no move, she just stared at him with wide eyes.

Those eyes were clear and straightforward, and the emotions in them were clear and clear.

She wouldn't resist, she let him do whatever he wanted. But she didn't believe him or his words, that's all.

Zhan Haoze seemed annoyed and pressed harder on his lips. She was in pain but refused to give in.

She didn't want to go out with him like this. It would be very bad if she met Huo Jinyao.

Zhan Haoze knew what she was thinking and bit her lip. It wasn't serious, but it made her hurt.

She was really in pain, but she looked straight at him, not responding to him, not stepping back, not even a hint of response.

He suddenly let go of his hand and took a step back. She was breathing heavily, and so was he.

He looked at her deeply, then suddenly stretched out his hand, opened the door, and walked out.

The door has been silenced and does not make too much noise when it is opened and closed. She watched the door close. No footsteps could be heard outside. She didn't move, she just stood there.

Her heart couldn't resist Zhan Haoze, and her body couldn't resist Zhan Haoze either.

But her reason, her dignity, everything told her that she still had a bottom line.

That was the bottom line that she would not allow Zhan Haoze to cross.

I know it, I know it all, but I still feel a little weak. As she stood there, she found her heart beating very fast.

I don't know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes.

She finally came to her senses and left the box.

There was no one in the corridor. This store is also interesting. There are not many waiters and not many people.

How casual. Ah.

She didn't meet Huo Jinyao or the others again. She went out and got into her car. She didn't see Zhan Haoze, so she didn't care.

Get in the car, start the car, and leave quickly.

When she got home, she couldn't sleep after sleeping all afternoon. She went into the study and drew out all her previous thoughts.

When the hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock, she finally finished drawing all her ideas.

Before getting up and going to her room to sleep, she glanced in the direction of the living room. There was no one and no sound.

One night, she didn't hear another knock on the door. That man. Probably gone.

When I returned to the room, I discovered that the sheets and quilt covers had been changed. Some traces inside were also cleared away.

She hadn't noticed before and went to the balcony outside, and unexpectedly saw the sheets drying there.

Shi Mengwan bit her lip and stared at the sheets for a long time, and finally went back to her bed to sleep.

She had put the sheets and quilts in the sun before, and they had a faint smell of laundry detergent. Only there was no mint smell from that man.

She pulled the quilt up to cover her head, but finally felt stuffy and had to get out again.

sleep. It would be best if he didn't come again.

she told herself.

………………

Zhan Haoze really didn’t come again. Time has gone forward for more than half a month.

In the past half month, Su Qingsang came back, and she went to Su Qingsang's house several times.

With Xiang Caiping here, she felt much better. Xiang Caiping is a magical person, she has a reassuring power.

She likes to get along with Xiang Caiping, without burden or purpose. Like a kind elder.

I just didn’t expect that something would happen to such an elder.

She found out later that Xiang Caiping had been in a car accident. The cause of the car accident was still because of Su Peizhen.

That woman, she didn't like her before. Because although Su Peizhen did not cause any real harm to Su Qingsang, he always looked down on Su Qingsang and his attitude was quite arrogant.

If she really dislikes Su Qingsang, she can ask Su Chenghui to drive Su Qingsang out or break off the relationship.

But she doesn't have that ability, nor can she do such a thing. But he always likes to embarrass Su Qingsang overtly or covertly.

These are not the important points. The important point is that Xiang Caiping was injured. The injury was to his lumbar spine and he was almost paralyzed.

She went to the hospital to stay with Xiang Caiping for two days in a row. Because she was worried about Xiang Caiping's injury, she didn't have the time to care where Zhan Haoze went or what he was doing when he disappeared.

Until a few days before the new year. Shi Mengwan originally just wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year before going home, but her sister Shi Mengru called and said that there was another commotion at home.

After she hurriedly explained what happened at Xiaoqiu's studio, she hurried home.

This is not the first time that the so-called commotion has occurred.

The mother didn’t give birth to a son, and the grandmother kept saying that the family was incomplete. In the past, I always wanted my mother to have a third child.

Later, when the doctor made it clear that my mother had been injured while giving birth to Shi Mengru and was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant easily, my grandma gave up.

Coupled with Shi Mengwan's subsequent disappearance, Shi Mengwan's father also gave up the idea of ​​having another son.

But it was useless for Shi Mengwan's father to give up. Shi Mengwan’s grandmother refused. She never gave up and wanted Shi Mengwan's father to have another child.

Later I found out that I couldn't be convinced. Bringing up old matters again, let Shi Mengwan's father adopt Shi Mengwan's uncle's son.

Shi Mengwan's two uncles both gave birth to two sons, and one of them could be adopted.

But Shi Mengwan disagreed. Her home, the home she considered, only consisted of her, her sister, and her parents.

She didn't want a fifth person.

What's more, my uncle's cousin is quite young. The youngest are in their teens. After raising it to such a big size, I can’t even carry it close to me.

In addition, she didn't like the attitude of her two uncles and aunts who thought they were great for having a son.

She has always been against this. Her attitude was too strong and her parents couldn't do anything about her, so they naturally followed her in this matter.

But grandma would come to the house every now and then to cause trouble. Don’t give up until you reach your goal.

The younger uncle's younger son is eleven years old this year, and he also thinks that he can live a better life by adopting him into his uncle's house.

Shi Mengwan returned home and wanted to explain the matter anxiously. No one except Xiao Qiu knew that she had returned to her hometown.

Grandma is eighty-one years old, an old country lady, and is in very good health.

When Shi Mengwan came home, she heard her grandma scolding her mother.

Shi Mengwan's mother's surname was Chen. She was also a famous beauty from all over the country back then. Even though she is older, her charm is still there.

Shi's mother was at the door of her home, listening to her mother-in-law scolding the hen that couldn't lay eggs.

She has heard this for more than ten years and has long been immune to it.

But Shi Mengwan couldn't bear it anymore. She hurriedly got out of the car and rushed through the courtyard gate. She was furious when she saw the neighbors attracted by her grandma's loud voice.

Grandma, my mother is a hen that can't lay eggs, so what are we?

You girl, you still know how to come back?

When Grandma Shi saw her, she became even more angry: You are really powerful. You know how to go and enjoy the blessings, leaving this family behind and letting your parents take care of it. What? Did I say something wrong?

Do you want to say that you are right? After what happened that year, Shi Mengwan was not afraid of anyone. Even more fearless: My mother gave birth to me and my sister, so why can't she lay eggs? If my family didn't have my mother, how could we have such a good life now? I don't understand, grandma, you can't At this age, why can't you just settle down and enjoy your old life? Why do you have to get involved in the affairs of the younger generation?

You, you little heartless person. Why do you talk to your elders? Huh?

Grandma Shi was so angry that Shi Mengwan was not afraid of her: If you want to be filial and respectful to your elders, you must also be filial and respectful to your elders. How has my mother treated grandma over the years? Doesn't grandma have any idea? You force my mother like this every day, Is this interesting?

Why did I force your mother? I did it for her own good. Let me tell you, I found someone to die for her. She will thank me in the future.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you for letting her raise someone else's son, right?

You, you, you, you damn girl. Grandma Shi was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.
