"Chang Yuan, you're back!"
It was a soft female voice that broke the silence.
Lin Wan Bai looked over and saw Lu Jing Xue sitting on the sofa. She was wearing a high necked sweater and looked like she was released from the hospital. However, his complexion was still a bit haggard, but it did not affect her outstanding beauty.
Beside Lu Jing Xue sat a noble woman. The two of them had similar facial features, it should be the mother and daughter pair.
The latter seemed to be sizing her up, and there was a hint of absent-mindedness in her sharp eyes.
"Chang Yuan, do you know what day it is today, and where it is now!" Huo Zhen put down the cup in his hand, as if there was the Lu family mother and daughter present. He could only temporarily suppress his anger, "Little girl Jing Xue and Little Sister Lu are both his own family members, who told you to bring someone you don't know here! "Butler, where is the butler? Why are you letting outsiders in so easily?!"
Lin Wan Bai slowly lowered his head, feeling ashamed.
Huo Chang Yuan frowned, and said solemnly: "Wan-Wen is not an outsider."
His voice wasn't very loud, but it was equally loud in the hearts of everyone present.
Aside from the two of them, everyone else's expressions froze.
"Uncle Huo, today is your birthday, you can't be angry! Furthermore, since you are Chang Yuan's friend, it would be more fun to celebrate with more people! " It was at this time that Lu Jing Xue loudly interjected, and with a few words, she dissolved the atmosphere.
When he turned his head to look at his mother, he couldn't help but ask softly, "Mom, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Ruan Zheng Mei seemed to have finally regained his senses, and laughed, "Brother Huo, Jing Xue is right. It would be exciting if there was another person to celebrate for you! Those who have come are guests, there's no need to drive them away, the atmosphere has turned into a bad one! "
He looked back at her: "May I know the name of this lady?"
"My surname is Lin …" Lin Wan Bai replied.
"Surnamed Lin?" Ruan Zheng Mei frowned, his tone sounding somewhat surprised.
Lin Wan Bai saw that the two had always been holding hands and held them tightly. Huo Chang Yuan could feel an unending stream of power, and other than telling himself when he just entered the door, he also straightened his back a little.
If she wanted to be with him, she had to be with him.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Wan Bai stepped forward.
"Bo..." Chairman Huo! "
Thinking of how Huo Zhen was once displeased, she quickly changed his words and spoke with respect, "I'm very sorry, for disturbing you at home so recklessly! "Knowing that today is your birthday, I …"
"Since you know you should not come here recklessly!" Huo Zhen interrupted him with a cold voice.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips and quickly lowered her eyes, not wanting to let anyone see the injuries in her eyes.
Although he was mentally prepared for ridicule and disrespect, he still felt embarrassed.
"Brother Huo, seriously, why are you so unreasonable!" Ruan Zheng Mei saw that she was holding onto something with her sharp eyes, and said with a smile, "I saw that Miss Lin is holding onto a gift, you can take a look as well.
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, he took out the box that was wrapped in a bag and carefully placed it on the table, "Chairman Huo, this is your birthday present, I hope you like it …"
Huo Zhen gave a cold snort filled with disdain.
"Brother Huo, if you don't mind, I'll open it for you!" After Ruan Zheng Mei received his tacit approval, he opened the box and said in shock, "Ah, it's the Sky Stone! "Brother Huo, take a look. This piece of stone is Zhaoqing's. Judging from its stone color and quality, it should be Song Pit!"
Huo Zhen glanced at it, and then moved his eyes without leaving a trace.
The inkstone in the study upstairs had been accidentally broken by a servant the day before yesterday.
However, although he thought this way, he didn't reveal it on the surface.
Ruan Zheng Mei was still studying the ink stone with interest, "There are even engravings on it. In the past, when my grandfather Jing Xue was still alive, I often helped buy ink stone, so I know a little about it! I wonder what kind of work Miss Lin does? It must have cost a lot of money to make such a big deal out of it, right? "
"Uh, I'm just a employee of the company …" Lin Wan Bai was startled, and answered honestly.
After Ruan Zheng Mei heard this, he smiled and said no more.
Sure enough, disdain deepened in Hopper's eyes, and deliberately turned to look at Lu Jing Xue, "Jing Xue girl, did you prepare a gift for me?"
"Of course I'm ready, I'll give it to you right now!" Lu Jing Xue revealed two dimples.
He also took out a small box from his bag, walked to Huo Zhen's side and sat down, then handed it over to him.
"A handkerchief?" Huo Zhen was not too surprised when he opened it.
"En!" Lu Jing Xue laughed and said, "Uncle Huo, take a closer look!"
Huo Zhen did as she said, and looked down again, and quickly smiled, "So there is a universe inside, and there are words on top of it!"
It was not a famous brand, nor was it anything special. However, in the lower right corner, there were two rows of golden threaded lettering, 'Fortune of the East Sea', 'Longevity', and 'Longevity of Nanshan'.
"The words are a bit ugly. Uncle Huo, don't be funny! I embroidered it myself. In the hospital, didn't you give me a handkerchief to wipe my tears, so I thought that I would give you a new one for your birthday. However, time is too tight. Lu Jing Xue explained with a smile.
"Just go to the mall and buy one. Why are you doing it yourself?" Huo Zhen was surprised, as he had not expected this.
"That makes it seem even more sincere!" Lu Jing Xue's dimples became deeper.
Ruan Zheng Mei timely chimed in, "You still say it, but for the sake of embroidery this handkerchief, Jing Xue didn't sleep at all for the past two nights, and her fingers have been pierced with quite a few holes!"
"Aiya, mom, why are you saying this!" Lu Jing Xue immediately retracted her finger that was still wrapped around the Band-Aid.
"Jing Xue, you are being considerate! You haven't even been out of the hospital for two days, yet you're not resting at all. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced to the side, and her expression became cold, "Although this handkerchief is not worth much, but little girl Jing Xue's heart is priceless, and is not like other people. It is just a normal company staff member spending so freely, in the end, her vanity is still too strong!"
The last sentence had a meaning.
Lin Wan Bai couldn't help but take a small step back.
He had originally thought that with his status and position in the Hopper, Hopper would not attract his attention. When he came to the shop to choose his gifts, he would always choose from the expensive top and had to bear the pain of spending a lot of money. But in other words, she knew very well that the Hopper was very biased against her. Even if the handkerchief was given to her by her, she would not have such an attitude.
No matter what, she felt that she had already done what she wanted.
With a warm feeling on her shoulder, Huo Chang Yuan embraced her.
He looked at his father with a deep and calm gaze, then said, "If you don't want it, I can take it back and use it as a ashtray."
