Chapter 57： I hurt him too late

The phone rang non-stop, Xia Wan poked her head out of the thin blanket with difficulty.

His voice was full of sleepiness, and he touched the phone for a long time: "Hello."

"Huh?" Xia Wan reacted dully for a moment, and the chaotic brain finally woke up: "Auntie?"

He took the phone away and looked at the time above.

It's only half past seven.

Although it is indeed time to get up for dinner under normal circumstances, but call at this point unless something urgent happens.

"What happened?" Xia Wan felt nervous, wondering and cautious, unable to figure out why Wen Yunzhi called so early.

"It's nothing else." Wen Yunzhi responded, and his eyes fell on the other people beside the table, "I just wanted to ask you, Huo Yu made an appointment with us to meet tonight. , do you want to come together?"

Xia Wan was quiet for a moment, then rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Why would Huo Yu ask the Xue family to meet?

Is it for the new energy project?

But hasn't the Xue family rejected this project? Could it be that Huo Yu has any other chips in his hand that can make the other party pick up interest again?

Xia Wan thought it over carefully in her mind, but it was still difficult to be sure, and Huo Yu never mentioned to him about meeting with Xue's family.

But of course, he wouldn't let Wen Yunzhi know about these.

"I'm not sure yet, Auntie." Xia Wan said, got out of bed, went to the window and opened the curtains.

The sun slanted on the landscape lake of the community, and a golden shallow wave swayed under the breeze, making it easy for people to feel fresh and comfortable.

Early in the morning, his old man put the trunk in advance, and you can look back and see which ones are suitable for your dad to eat now."

"Thank you auntie, thank you grandpa." Xia Wan immediately thanked her gratefully.

The Xue family was so kind to him, so good that he felt a little burden in his heart, and he couldn't bear to refuse Wen Yunzhi's invitation.

He hesitated for a moment, and the word "you" that Huo Yu spat out when he was drunk suddenly flashed in his mind.

If there is nothing else, I will go with Huo Yu, after all, I haven't seen my grandfather for a while, but I don't need to bring supplements, my dad is not suitable for eating right now."

"Hey, good." Wen Yunzhi said, and after a while he asked cautiously, "Wan Wan, are you... how are you today?"

I don't know what happened, Wen Yunzhi's phone call always made Xia Wan a little confused.

He went through what he said in confusion, and after making sure that there were no misleading words, he smiled and replied: "I'm fine, Auntie."

Then asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"Oh, oh," Wen Yunzhi's tone suddenly became unnatural, "It's nothing, nothing, I'll just ask casually."

Hanging up Wen Yunzhi's phone, Xia Wan opened WeChat with some doubts and wanted to ask Su Tang if she said something to Wen Yunzhi.

After opening it, he immediately realized the problem.

Xia Wan bit her lip and looked at the red number at the bottom of the screen at "Discovery". She couldn't help being embarrassed and funny, and it took a while to open it.

There are quite a few people in the dormitory, and Su Tang and Fu Ling single-handedly launched a small theater with serious staining.

Finally, Fu Ling concluded: [Little Sweet Zero: So, in the end, Brother Yu is too good. 】

Su Tang immediately echoed: [Little Sweet Tangguo: That's not it? We stamped it every night, so we should pay attention to rest every night. Don't rush to get up if there is no class in the morning. 】

Shen Xing didn't say anything, just left a string of ellipses.

At the same time, he was very fortunate, but fortunately Huo Yu did not have their WeChat and could not see their jokes.

Xia Wan did not reply, but slowly pulled down the reply little by little.

Among the messages, he saw two unexpected messages.

One was left by Xue Zhen:

[Grandpa Xue: The child is strong, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, grandpa can help you with anything. ]

This message should have been replied shortly after he made the circle, even earlier than Su Tang and Fu Ling.

Xia Wan stared at this message, and felt guilty for causing the elderly to worry.

Another unexpected reply came from Xia Yang. Xia Yang's message was very simple, with only three words "what's the matter?"

Xia Wan frowned slightly when she saw this message.

Immediately, he returned to the contact list and simply blacklisted people.

In fact, after Xia Yang left a message yesterday, she has been waiting for Xia Wan's reply.

He hasn't been doing well recently.

Last night, after drinking outside and inquiring about news, I came back and forced myself to open the Xia Wan dialog box.

But even so, he couldn't speak to Xia Wan in a low voice or pretend that nothing happened.

After all, not long ago, he and his father were kicked out of the hospital by Xia Wan and his son.

Such a humiliating and self-esteem thing, no one can easily let go, especially, a small role like Xia Wan who was originally attached to them, this kind of humiliation is even more impossible Bear.

Just, who made people fly to the branches and become phoenixes now?

Under the situation that the situation in Beijing and China was a foregone conclusion, Huo Yu was like a dark horse, and he was killed off guard, attracting everyone's attention.

Just one step...

If he can stabilize this project in his hand, then, from now on, Huo Yu will not only be Huo Yu, but also a rapidly rising force and an extremely powerful influence.

And this power and influence will completely break the current pattern sharply and directly.

First of all, the Qiu family was severely injured this time, and Mr. Qiu is getting old again, so he is likely to be kicked out this time.

Secondly, Huo Peixue can hardly be said to be able to sit firmly in the country of the Huo family.

Don't say anything else, only at the last Huo family banquet, through Xia Wan's mouth, the Huo family itself was left by Huo Yu's father Huo Peifeng, it has long been known to everyone .

If Huo Yuwan is incompetent, Huo Peixue and Huo Lin and their son can still find a reason to manage on their behalf.

However, Huo Yu's performance is so amazing now that others look at them, and it is somewhat subtle.

Even the Qiu family and the Huo family may change, not to mention their small Xia family?

Until now, Xia Chenglin and Xia Yang finally realized that they were still on the wrong team.

Not only that, but they are in a very difficult situation right now.

Huo Lin's project, they participated.

came out.

Just then, the Huo family was found to have various violations.

Huo Lin said that those were only for the old project, but the project in his hand was also slow to move.

Originally, the Xia family had a good abacus. As long as the project started, and the name of their Xia family was put on it, even if they were only squeezed into a small corner, with the influence of the Huo family, their follow-up Working capital can be easily borrowed from the bank.

But now, the project does not start, and the Huo family is in a desperate situation. Where can they lend so much money?

And now, it affects the normal operation of the company.

Before, Xia Yang had no choice but to urge Huo Lin very euphemistically, but Huo Lin slapped his face with contempt.

It's hard to say who the Huo family will fall into. He doesn't dare to offend Huo Lin, and he must repair Huo Yu's relationship.

So, even if he can't keep his face down, he must rebuild his relationship with Xia Wan.

Xia Yang's finger hesitantly placed on the screen, while pondering how to talk so that he would not lose his share, he unconsciously entered Xia Wan's circle of friends.

Maybe God helped, just ten minutes ago, Xia Wan just sent a circle of friends.

Without beginning and end, a simple "pawn" word.

It can be understood as a joke or self-mockery, or it can be understood as the other party is suffering a huge setback at the moment.

Xia Yang immediately seized the opportunity and clicked to reply: what's wrong?

It doesn't seem so urgent, but she also expresses concern, Xia Yang thinks it's okay.

One night, Xia Yang didn't sleep well, so she got up late in the morning.

Sitting at the table, he refreshed his circle of friends again, but this time, he found that the content of the summer evening was missing.

He felt bad, so he exited, reopened the other party's chat window, and entered the information:

【Bright Sun: What happened yesterday? Seeing that your family members in your circle of friends have been worried all night, are you alright? 】

After he finished writing, he read it carefully, made sure there was no problem, and clicked send.

Only, the next second, a red exclamation mark appeared in front of me.

Xia Yang was stunned for a moment, clenching his fingers.

He was blocked by Xia Wan.

He was actually blocked by Xia Wan!

If it was anyone else, he would probably be more accepting, but it was Xia Wan.

In the past, he was the only one who slapped Xia Wan, how could Xia Wan look down on him?

This inversion of identity before and after made him, after a moment of silence, viciously swept all the dishes on the table to the ground.

Different from the low pressure of the Xia family, the atmosphere of the Xue family is much more relaxed.

Because of the word "pawn", the Xue family all gathered at the dining table.

It's just that Xue Zhen has already commented first, and other people are a little worried after seeing the circle of friends, but they don't continue to brush their presence.

After Su Tang's information came out, things suddenly developed in a strange direction.

Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi were a little embarrassed to see those blatant words, but after thinking about it, it was not impossible.

After all, although Xia Wan is still young, she is already married.

The couple looked at each other subtly, not only no longer worried, but more relieved about the life of the summer evening.

They can all relax, as a young man Xue Wenxuan naturally need not say more.

The real worry is actually Xue Zhen.

Eighteen years ago, the old man moved to the annex building alone, and the number of times he had breakfast in the main building in recent years was almost a handful.

But this morning, the old man came over, and Zhou Qi was holding a painting in his arms behind him.

He naturally saw Su Tang's ridicule of Xia Wan, but he was probably concerned about the reason why he was confused. When he thought that Xia Wan could draw works like "Jackdaw", the wise old man, I couldn't help but imagine what Xia Wan couldn't think of.

Until Wen Yunzhi smiled and hung up the phone, and said, "He said he was fine."

The old man was a little relieved.

Xue Wenxuan took a sip of coffee, smiled and said to his grandfather, "I'll just say it's okay?"

Compared to Xue Wenxuan, Xue Chong is much smarter.

He ate his breakfast slowly, smiling.

Sure enough, the old man snorted in disapproval.

"Look at this painting of him," the old man pointed to the "Jackdaw" on the cabinet next to him, "Although it is an artistic creation, it must be done in his heart. How can someone of this age draw such a tone of despair?"

"Withered vines, old trees, dim crows..." Xue Wenxuan studied business, and he pondered for a moment, "Is it based on poetry?"

"You see where there are people with small bridges and flowing water in that painting?" Xue Zhen said dissatisfiedly, "That's not a crow, it's an old crow dying of despair in the dead silence of the wasteland of thousands of miles. A glance."

"Nonsense." Xue Zhen said, "How old are you, and you are jealous of Ake."

"I'm not jealous of him." Xue Wenzuan said with a smile, "It's too late for me to love him."

Xue Zhen snorted at him and couldn't help laughing again.

Responded to the message, washed down the stairs in the summer evening.

Huo Yu had gotten up and was sitting in the hall talking on the phone. When he saw him coming down, he glanced sideways.

The gaze was not much different from usual, but Xia Wan couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.

When washing, he thought for a long time in the mirror, wondering whether to continue Huo Yu's drunken remarks last night.

But at this moment, Huo Yu was in front of him, and he had to admit that once something was missed, he had to wait patiently for the next more suitable opportunity.

"Okay." Huo Yu's phone call seemed to have come to the end, he said, "Let's play together next time."

When Xia Wan came to the front, he just hung up the phone and looked up at him.

"hangover soup..." Xia Wan asked calmly, "did you drink it?"

"Yeah." Huo Yu nodded, "I woke up in the middle of the night and drank it."

"Really?" Almost immediately, Xia Wan's heart jumped up, briskly like a cloud, and he rolled his eyes.

"So happy?" Huo Yu smiled, raised his hand, and touched the tip of Xia Wan's nose.

"Dead?" Huo Yu raised the corners of his lips maliciously, "How did you die? Did you die because the hangover soup was too hard to eat, and you died in shame?" He asked again: "Dead. Why are you breathing so fast?"

"Huo Yu!" Xia Wan stood up straight and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Hey, Xia Wan," Huo Yu laughed very unkindly, and patted his side again, motioning him to sit down: "Come and talk about your mental journey."

The author has something to say:

Ah, I got a cold, I really can't write too much, I have a headache and a stuffy nose. Now it's a series of one roll of paper a day.

I thought I could finish meeting the Xue family, but…

Sorry sorry.
