When Blue Smoke woke up, Umbo was already gone. There was a note on the table in the living room with his strong handwriting on it.
"There's food in the fridge, just close the door when you leave."
Blue Smoke smiled and put down the note before walking into the washroom. In the mirror, she had delicate facial features and a beautiful figure. This kind of condition was enough to catch a golden turtle for a son-in-law, but she still chose to live a dejected life.
This was his habit for the past few days. He always hoped that when he went back, he would be able to see Huo Lianqing sitting there smiling at him, saying, "You're back?"
But that was only his dream. The hall was empty and lifeless. He stomped upstairs, changed his clothes, and went to work.
This was his current life. It was monotonous and boring. He had almost forgotten how he led a life before Huo Lianqing came into his life. He only felt that this life was boring, like red dates and chicken wire porridge without sugar, without any flavor.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Lianqing had been staying at He Jingran's place for four days. Every morning, she would get up to prepare breakfast and then work at a convenience store.
He Jingran stayed in that dilapidated house every day. Huo Lianqing didn't know what he was doing, nor did she know what he was thinking.
Never in her wildest dreams would Huo Lianqing ever think about He Jingran's identity. At this moment, in a luxurious villa, an old man was standing by the window, looking at the perfect French roses in the courtyard.
"Sir, the young master's whereabouts have been investigated." A man in a black suit behind the old man said.
"Ah, this unfilial son! Seeing that my time is running out, he is still roaming around outside! " He Zhengchuan helplessly and angrily said.
"Don't say that, sir. The doctor said that you were recovering well and that the young master was just young and wanted to have fun. I went to see him at his place the other day. He's hurt and lives with a girl. That girl is very beautiful and she also looks after him. Maybe the young master is in love right now. " The man in the suit said.
He only saw He Zhengchuan's face revealing a little smile as he turned to ask.
"Is that so? What kind of a lady? If he can get married, then there will be someone to restrain him. "
"Sir, when are we going to bring the young master back?"
"The sooner the better. I'll go get him myself." He Zhengchuan said.
"What?" You will go there yourself? " The man behind He Zhengchuan said in surprise.
When Huo Lianqing returned at noon, He Jingran was outside fiddling with his guitar. When Huo Lianqing saw him sitting there, she ran over to pat his shoulder.
"Jingran!"
He Jingran sat with his back facing Huo Lianqing. He was astonished by her actions. Huo Lianqing waved the lunch in her hand at him, while He Jingran smiled.
"Let's have lunch today. I'll cook something delicious for you tonight." Huo Lianqing felt that they were living in seclusion in a desolate place. Although this kind of life was tough, no one bothered them and they didn't have to deal with the outside world. She felt particularly happy.
He Zhengchuan, who was sitting inside the car, saw the warm look on their faces and smiled.
"Alright, let's go. Let's not disturb them."
In the evening, Huo Lianqing bought a small pork chop and was cooking there. He Jingran helped her wash the vegetables and place them on a plate. Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked in. He was thin, but his aura was very powerful. Huo Lianqing could tell with a single glance that he was a business elite.
He Jingran was talking and laughing with Huo Lianqing when he suddenly raised his head and saw He Zhengchuan. His face froze and turned gloomy. Seeing the change in their expressions, He Jingran told Huo Lianqing.
"I'm going out for a bit." Huo Lianqing nodded dumbly.
He Jiran followed his father outside. The car was already parked outside. A few bodyguards were standing behind He Zhengchuan. Housekeeper Zhang was standing beside the car in a black suit. Seeing that He Jingran had come out, his expression was one of excitement.
"Young Master." Although He Jingran didn't like his father, who was rich and influential in the shopping mall, but he grew up under the care and care of Housekeeper Zhang, so he still had feelings for him.
"Uncle Zhang, you are still in good spirits." He JinRan had always called Housekeeper Zhang Uncle Zhang since he was young. He felt that this was more intimate.
"Young Master, you've lost weight. "Let's go back with mister." Housekeeper Zhang's words choked with emotions. He still wanted to say something, but he didn't expect He Jingran to actually nod in agreement and get on the car himself.
On the way, He Jiran didn't speak a word. He Zhengchuan sat in front of him and didn't say a word. When they were almost home, He Zhengchuan finally spoke.
"Bowen went to California several times and said he didn't see you. I thought you were just having fun. I didn't expect you to come back to China without permission!" A few days ago, I saw Bo Wen. He also said that in order to not disturb my studies, I hid you somewhere. Who knew that you would hide in such a place? You have truly humiliated our He family! "
He Jingran sat there without uttering a word. The butler was afraid that if He Zhengchuan said too much, He Jingran would run away again.
"Sir, the young master is still young and vigorous, he just likes to play around for a while." In the future, when you slowly train me, I am not stupid. "
"Old Zhang, you've always spoke up for him. You've doted on him ever since he was young!" He Zhengchuan said with a bit of blame.
"Alright, I understand. Didn't you want me to take over the company? I'll take over. " He Jingran's words stunned both He Zhengchuan and Old Zhang.
"Young Master!"
"How is your health? I heard you were sick. " He Jiran looked at He Zhengchuan and said.
He Zhengchuan didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would still receive his son's care. For a moment, he was so excited that he couldn't say anything. He Jiran gently held his hand in his lap.
Huo Lianqing had finished cooking the pork chop, but she didn't see He Jingran come in. She went out for a walk, but He Jingran was already nowhere to be seen. It seemed like his guess was correct. Perhaps his family had come to find him.
"Forget it, it's better if I eat by myself. "So many delicious dishes!" Although Huo Lianqing said that, she actually didn't think that way. It was really hard to live here all by herself.
After finishing dinner, Huo Lianqing cleaned up the dishes and put them on the table. She looked at the tableware and blankets they bought together and could only sigh helplessly.
Huo Lianqing was tossing and turning on her bed, unable to sleep. Suddenly, she remembered that He Jingran had left her a guitar. Huo Lianqing got off the bed and went to the outer room to take it out.
Recalling the last time he played the guitar in Zhou Junchi's bar, and thinking about Ambowen's matter, he felt extremely confused. Huo Lianqing shook her head furiously, forcing herself not to think about Amber anymore.
At this moment, Ann Bowen was in Zhou Junchi's bar. Zhou Junchi's face was full of drunkenness, and his lips curled up into a smile.
"I didn't expect you to have such a day! I thought you were the victorious general of a love affair, but never would I have thought that you would be dumped at such a time! " Zhou Chengchi had truly drunk too much. He usually didn't dare to say anything in front of An Bowen, but now he said everything at once.
An Bowen smiled self-deprecatingly. He had never thought that Huo Ruqing was such a woman. He had thought that he would treasure her so much that she would be content to stay by his side.
"Alright!" Don't talk nonsense! When was I dumped? " Seeing that the gazes around him were all directed at him, he frowned as he looked at Zhou Chengchi. He was still smiling, his eyes dazed, one hand on his glass, the other on his chin.
"To tell you the truth, I also like Huo Lianqing, but I lost her before I even got the chance." After saying this, Zhou Junchi was completely drunk. An Bowen sat there staring at him blankly, spitting out the truth when he was drunk. If it wasn't for the fact that he drank too much, Zhou Chengchi wouldn't have said such a thing.
He picked up his glass and drained it in one gulp. Then he picked up his clothes and walked out of the bar. Zhou Junchi was still behind him, saying something that Obo Wen couldn't clearly hear, but it was most likely just words of banter.
