Chapter 587

ng.Fù Yān's heart skipped a beat; she was guilty of having given him away.He loosened his grip on her chin, and covered her cheek with his palm. His face darkened as he spoke, "You didn't come to see...Many generations ago, Li Qin's great-grandfather and Li Dongbai's great-grandfather were cousins. However, Li Qin's great-grandfather moved his entire family to Guangcheng, where they settled down. As a result, their contact gradually decreased.

By the time it reached Li Qin's father, there wasn't much movement left.

Years ago, Old Master Huo went to Guangcheng to do business. At that time, Guangcheng was still chaotic, and there were many people living on the edge of a knife at the docks. Old Master Huo was ambushed and almost got into trouble. It was the father of Li Qin who helped him out.

Although it wasn't overly busy, the fact that Old Master Huo ignored the decline of the Li family later on was indeed ungrateful.

"Is everything settled" Liang Feicheng asked.

"Well, there's nothing major. Just came to see Dr. Cheng. Leaving tomorrow."

"I'm late tonight. The old folks went to bed early. I will take you to visit him tomorrow morning."

Ho Mingzheng raised his glass and clinked it with Liang Ficheng's.

......

There was no overtime tonight, Xiaoxiao packed her things and was about to head downstairs when her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID: Bodyguard Brother

First, her mouth involuntarily twitched upwards into a smile, then she immediately composed herself and reluctantly slid her finger across the screen. "What the..."

The person on the phone paused for a second, "I'm at the car park, waiting for you."

Xia Xia let out a huff and walked into the elevator, instinctively pressing the button for the underground parking garage. "Just get to the point. Last time you were pretty good at talking your way into getting me to leave, weren't you"

Cao Yuan was driven to desperation. General Huo ordered him to take Xia away. He was tongue-tied and couldn't speak, so he didn't know what was happening at the time. Suddenly, his Du and Ren meridians were opened, but the effect was very brief.

"Come down." Cao Yuan said the three words stiffly.

He's such a blockhead.

Xia Xia mumbled a few words and hung up the phone.

Reaching the underground car park, she saw a black sedan with its hazard lights flashing. Xia Xia walked over confidently, recognizing it as Big G's car. She looked around to make sure no one was watching her, then quickly slipped into the vehicle.

She's just from an ordinary family, and everyone at work knows what their situation is like. She usually rides a small electric scooter to and from work. If someone were to see her getting into such a nice car, rumors would spread that she was being kept by someone, and it would be impossible to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Especially since her line of work inevitably involves wealthy clients, she wouldn't want to be the subject of gossip.

"What are you doing" Xia sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at Cao Yuan.

I don't know where he came from. He usually wears casual sportswear, probably for convenience in fighting. Rarely do I see him wear a suit. He is tall and broad-shouldered with long legs; he looks especially handsome in a suit.

She couldn't help but glance at him again.

Cao Yuan passed her a paper bag, glanced at her, then quickly looked away.

"What"

Xiaoxia took it, it was a piping hot baked sweet potato.

Before Cao arrived, Cao Fang had reminded him that Xia was a young girl with a sweet tooth and liked to eat. He had also seen Xia buy this kind of roasted sweet potato before, so she should like it very much.

Xiaxia likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes, but....

"I don't eat handouts. So tell me, what do you want" Xia pushed the roasted sweet potato back.

Last time, she succumbed to temptation and left Fu Yan alone. This time, she was more careful.

Cao Yuan cleared his throat, "Could you do me a favor" blink of an eye, Fu Hánlín didn't miss her reddened eyes for a moment.A mixture of grievance and stubbornness was woven into her, she had always been like this, hiding her thoughts and feelings.Fu Ha...
