Chapter 2021: Chapter 2021 the old house is on fire (3)(second update)
Guo Huining’s heart was in a mess.
She knew that she did not have the advantage in terms of family background and age, but she also had the advantage that those young women with good family backgrounds did not have.
She was smart, capable, and mature. She would definitely not throw a tantrum at a man.
More importantly, she had done Huo Guanchen a great favor. This was something that those people could not catch up to.
However, she was still a little nervous. What if she had misjudged him?
For example, Hong Ziqi. She had originally thought that he was a good match for her to marry into a rich family..
In the next few days, Guo Huining had been waiting for Huo Guanchen to come back or inviting her out for dinner.
However, Huo Guanchen did not show up at all.

She tried to call him, but it was only his personal secretary who answered the phone. Huo Guanchen was always busy, so he did not have time to answer her calls or call back to ask her what was the matter.
Guo Huining’s heart was hanging high.
Dou aiyan had been calling and chatting with her for the past few days to find out about the progress between her and Huo Guanchen.
Guo Huining felt bitter in her heart, but she didn’t say it out loud. She just didn’t answer the phone. With a mysterious look on her face, she managed to save some face.
Huo Guanchen knew all these things clearly.
He sat in his office and pondered, wondering what the person behind Guo Huining wanted her to get close to him for.
Of course, the most important thing was to know who the person behind him was so that he could confirm the other party’s motives.
Otherwise, any intentions that were revealed could be false.
Guo Huining could not stand it anymore after being left out for a few days. She finally called Zhang Baochen and asked him when he would be free to visit grandfather Huo.
When he was in the hospital, Zhang Baochen used to work with Huo Guanchen to take care of grandfather Huo.
Later, grandfather Huo was discharged from the hospital and moved to Huo Guanchen’s private residence. With Guo Huining bringing so many professionals and servants to take care of him, Zhang Baochen was able to relax.
However, he also wanted to visit grandfather Huo. When he received a call from Guo Huining, Zhang Baochen immediately said, “I’m free today. How is my father’s health today?”
Guo huining smiled and said, “Old Sir’s health is much better now. He can no longer use a wheelchair and can be helped to walk around the backyard.”
Zhang Baochen smiled and said, “Then I’ll come over in the afternoon. Is it convenient over there?”
“It’s convenient, of course it’s convenient.”Guo Huining put down the phone and went to tell grandfather Huo, “Old Sir Huo, Mr. Zhang Baochen is here to see you.”
“Baochen? That’s great. I haven’t seen him for a while. Will my grandchildren come?”Grandfather Huo asked in high spirits.
The grandchildren he asked were Zhang Baochen’s son, Zhang Wenjie, and his daughter, Zhang Wenna.
Guo huining smiled and shook her head. “I’m not sure about that. Why Don’t you wait for him to come and ask him again?”
Grandfather Huo nodded happily and kept looking at the window, waiting for Zhang Baochen to come over.
Zhang Baochen drove from the city and it took him two hours to get here.
When he arrived at Huo Guanchen’s private residence in the west mountain villa, he was drenched in sweat in the cold weather.
Guo huining handed him a wet tissue and asked with concern, “Are you cold? Do you want to change your clothes? We have some of general Huo’s casual clothes here, not military uniforms.”
“It’s okay, there’s no need.”Zhang Baochen wiped his face and went to see grandfather Huo.
The father and son wanted to talk, so Guo Huining naturally couldn’t stand by the side.
When Zhang Baochen finished speaking, the sky had already darkened.
Zhang Baochen looked out of the French window and said, “It’s already so late.”
Guo huining smiled and asked, “Mr. Zhang, do you want to stay for dinner?”
“No need, I still have to go back.”Zhang Baochen looked at his watch and exchanged a few pleasantries with Guo Huining.
Then, he suddenly asked, “Has my second brother been here in the past few days?”
Guo Huining had been beating around the bush for a long time, waiting for this question. She immediately frowned and said, “He often came here a few days ago to see Mr. Huo. We even had dinner together. He doesn’t seem to come here much lately…”
Zhang Baochen looked at her with pity and sighed softly. “Miss Guo, actually, being a butler for someone is not a long-term job, especially for a woman with your educational background. It’s such a pity.”
Guo Huining’s heart pounded wildly.
She thought, if it weren’t for Huo Guanchen, she wouldn’t have come to be a housekeeper..
Of course, she couldn’t say that.
She smiled subtly and said, “I’ve worked for so many years, it’s good to take a break. Moreover, Mr. Huo has helped me a lot. It’s my duty to help him now.”
Zhang Baochen thought of what grandfather Huo had said just now and could not help but hint,”… but when my second brother remarries, there might not be a need for a butler here.”
No matter how calm Guo Huining was, her expression changed at this moment. “Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? It’s Guan Chen, he…”
Zhang Baochen widened his eyes in surprise.”… you called me second brother Guan Chen? !”
This address was too intimate, and it could not help but make people think..
Guo huining covered her mouth and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, I misspoke. I wanted to ask if Mr. Huo has found a partner to remarry?”
“I’m not sure about that.”Zhang Baochen actually wanted to help Guo Huining. In his opinion, Guo huining marrying Huo Guanchen was much better than Huo Guanchen finding another daughter from a higher family.
At least not only did Guo huining not look down on him, but she also helped him a lot.
And the people in Huo Guanchen’s circle all looked down on their family.
Zhang Baochen had enough of those people’s picky eyes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Baochen’s heart moved. He smiled and said, “I heard from my father that my second brother has been busy recently. In fact, he’s busy with matchmaking.”
“… blind dates? Who Have you met? Do you know?”Guo huining forced herself to calm down. She still wanted to get some information and find out what was going on.
“Who else? Aren’t they the daughters of those people from their courtyard…”Zhang Baochen sneered, “But he’s old. Although his position is high, it’s impossible for him to find a virgin daughter who has never been married. He’s looking for a divorced or widowed second wife.”
Guo huining relaxed slightly.
Although she had a fiancé before, she had never been married before. Compared to those people, her advantage was very obvious.
But when Zhang Baochen said this, Guo Huining was confused again.
Who exactly did Huo Guanchen buy that diamond ring for? !
Wasn’t it for her?
But the words “Endless love”were carved on it, which clearly indicated the love between a man and a woman.
It was really puzzling.
Zhang Baochen patted her shoulder and said meaningfully, “Miss Guo, I actually think more highly of you. Don’t be discouraged, you still have a chance.”
As he said that, he hinted to Guo huining that Huo Guanchen was a filial son. As long as grandfather Huo agreed, Guo Huining would have no problem entering the house.
Guo huining immediately felt rea.s.sured.
She had started from grandfather Huo’s side, which was why she got in touch with people like Huo Guanchen.
As long as grandfather Huo was well coaxed, it would be twice as easy for Huo Guanchen’s side.
Thinking of this, Guo Huining’s face lit up again.
As for Dou Aiyan’s side, seeing that Guo Huining had not made any movements, she was also a little puzzled.
She called her superior and hesitantly reported the situation over here.
Her boss didn’t say anything for a long time. He only said, “I’ll go ask Big Boss and see if he has any ideas.”
Dou aiyan’s spirits were lifted.
She had long guessed that there must be someone behind her boss!
