Chapter 763: Private Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a conversation, Murong Qiao found out that Kelly had come out to play on her own. She found out that there were scenic spots at the film base and came over curiously, but she lost her way.
“You should bring a local next time. You can’t speak the language yourself, so it’ll be very troublesome if your friends can’t find you.” Murong Qiao gave a sincere suggestion.
At this moment, Huo Yichen had yet to pick her up, so Murong Qiao was not in a hurry. She first stood at the side with Kelly and chatted casually.
Speaking of being worried, the first person Kelly thought of was Huo Xiuyuan.
At this time, the other party was probably still discussing business in the company…
“My fiance has been very busy these few days. He can’t take the time to come out and play with me.” Kelly felt a little aggrieved.
Although she was a stranger she had only known for less than a day, Kelly had a sharp perception of Murong Qiao’s kindness and subconsciously recognized her as her friend.
Murong Qiao said casually, “If he can’t come to accompany you, why don’t you accompany him?”
“Oh right, why didn’t I think of that?” Kelly was enlightened.
After coming to the country, she was only thinking about where to go to play. However, at the same time, she wanted to be with Huo Xiuyuan at all times. She, who had always felt conflicted, didn’t realize that the two could be completely combined.
It was not until Murong Qiao gave her suggestion that Kelly realized the third possibility.
“I’m sorry, but my boyfriend is coming to pick me up. I can’t chat with you anymore.” Murong Qiao glanced at the time. There were still two minutes to go.
After interacting with him for long enough, she knew that the other party was someone who was punctual or even early sometimes. Murong Qiao didn’t want to let the other party wait for too long.
Being lost here and being pestered by strangers, Kelly lost the mood to continue playing. Seeing Murong Qiao walking out, she followed her in embarra.s.sment, planning to leave together.
As Murong Qiao had expected, when she reached the door, she saw the familiar black car parked at the door. Then, she felt her cell phone vibrate. It was a message from the other party.
Murong Qiao didn’t look further. Instead, she turned around and stuffed the umbrella into Kelly’s hand. She felt that the other party might need this more than she did. Then, she pointed in the direction of the black car. “My boyfriend is here. Goodbye.”
“Bye.” Kelly waved at Murong Qiao.
The path was only 40 to 50 meters long. Murong Qiao ran over in small steps and opened the car door before Huo Yichen could get out of the car.
The cold air from the air conditioner in the car enveloped Murong Qiao almost as soon as she entered. Then, she let out a comfortable sigh.
Kelly watched as Murong Qiao’s figure disappeared behind the pa.s.senger door. For a moment, she was a little envious that her boyfriend would come to pick her up personally.
However, the car door opened too quickly and closed, so Kelly didn’t see what the other party’s boyfriend looked like. She only saw a gray suit.
“For you.” Huo Yichen stuffed the mulberry tea he had bought on the way into Murong Qiao’s hand.
The cold temperature was just right. Murong Qiao took a sip and narrowed her eyes in joy.
She chewed the coconut in her mouth. “Why are you here so early today? This isn’t like you.”
“As long as you want, I can make time for you.”
Huo Yichen slowly rolled up the car window to block out the scorching heat from outside. “As for today, I did it on purpose.”
“Huh?” Murong Qiao sounded puzzled.
However, this moment came and went quickly. She took a sip of the cold fruit tea in her hand and handed it to Huo Yichen.
Huo Yichen took a sip from Murong Qiao’s hand and turned the steering wheel, preparing to start the car and leave.
He didn’t come to look for Murong Qiao on the spur of the moment.
Ever since he met Huo Xiuyuan at the restaurant and his collaboration project was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by him, Huo Yichen had asked Ye Zhen to keep an eye on him to prevent him from causing the Huo Corporation to suffer again.
Although it was not that he couldn’t suppress the board of directors, if there were any problems again and the other party seized on it to make an issue of something, it would be some complicated and troublesome matter.
However, after a few days, there was no movement from Huo Xiuyuan.
Huo Yichen simply took the initiative to leave the company early this time to give the other party a chance.
As he expected—
Huo Yichen followed the navigation and started the car. He turned a corner casually and glanced at the rearview mirror. Unsurprisingly, he saw a car following him.
Not far away, in a car behind them, someone stuck his head out from the driver’s seat. At the same time, he held a camera and took a few photos of Huo Yichen’s car. Then, he hurriedly shrank back sneakily, pretending that nothing had happened.
After taking a few photos, the other party sent this message to a person on WeChat.
Without caring if the other party replied, the other party continued to follow Huo Yichen’s car.
Compared to Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao, who was in the entertainment industry, was naturally more sensitive to stalking. Therefore, not long after the car started, she also discovered the uninvited guest behind them.
“Where did they come from?” Murong Qiao asked casually.
Huo Yichen replied, “I think Huo Xiuyuan sent them over.”
“If I’m not wrong, he’s playing tricks while I’m not around.”
Although the two of them didn’t grow up together, their understanding of each other was not bad.
After returning to the Huo Family, they had interacted for a few years. Although he didn’t know Huo Xiuyuan’s style and temperament completely, Huo Yichen was 80 to 90% confident.
If he was not wrong, Ye Zhen should have discovered something.
Ye Zhen, who had always acted as Huo Yichen’s chauffeur, was not around today. However, he was not the main character, so there was no risk of attracting attention.
After receiving Huo Yichen’s order, Ye Zhen quietly changed to another car today.
At this moment, he was parked outside a teahouse. He could see at a glance that the person sitting at the window in the corner was Huo Xiuyuan and Xu Dong from the board of directors.
Ye Zhen was not surprised that these two people had colluded. What really surprised him was the President’s foresight and antic.i.p.ation.
Today, he had specially received Huo Yichen’s instructions to secretly pay attention to the movements of the board of directors.
In the end, not long after, he realized that Xu Dong had left his post and driven to this teahouse. Not long after, another person appeared here. It was Huo Xiuyuan.
The two people sitting in the restaurant didn’t know that they were being observed at this moment. They sat opposite each other with smiling faces.
“I didn’t expect you to come back from overseas, Huo Xiuyuan.” Xu Dong had to admit that he was a little surprised to see Huo Xiuyuan appear in front of him.
After all, he had fought with Huo Yichen a few times. The other party’s style of eradicating weeds by the roots had long been engraved in his heart. Therefore, Xu Dong never thought that Huo Xiuyuan would have a chance to make a comeback and appear here again in this state.
After Huo Xiuyuan heard his words, he was calm and poured himself a cup of tea.
After pouring the tea, he pushed it in front of Xu Dong and said slowly, “I can only say that good people are blessed by the heavens..”
