Huo Shaoting, who was standing in the corridor, looked there. After looking for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards the hall without making a sound.
When Qiqi returned to the hall, she actually saw Huo Shaoting. He was standing in the hall, talking to some of Mrs. Huo's close friends. Qiqi stopped and thought, when did he come back?
Xu Yunhe came in with her. Not long after Qiqi entered the hall, he naturally followed her in. Of course, he also saw Huo Shaoting and was a little surprised.
Huo Shaoting, who was talking to someone, seemed to feel that two people came in at the door of the hall, so he stopped talking temporarily and looked towards the door. When his eyes looked over, it happened to fall on Qiqi. .
Although Qiqi had been standing there, when his eyes fell on her, she still walked towards him immediately: "Brother Shao Ting."
Xu Yunhe, who was not far behind her, could not be ignored by Huo Shaoting. In response to her greeting, his tone and expression were very calm and he asked: "Are you just chatting with someone outside?"
Qiqi was a little surprised.
Did he just see himself?
"Xu Li's brother is here, I said hello to him."
She explained like this. She was afraid that he wouldn't know who it was, so she added: "It's Brother Yunhe."
Huo Shaoting heard this and glanced at Xu Yunhe, who was also still at the door. With just one glance, Xu Yunhe walked up and greeted him proactively: "Shao Ting."
There was almost no need to exchange too much greetings between the two of them, but they said with a certain familiarity: "Why do you have time to come here today?"
Qiqi didn't know what was going on for a moment. Although she knew they knew each other, she didn't expect them to be so familiar.
Xu Yunhe responded to Huo Shaoting's greetings and said with a smile: "I came to see the old lady."
The confrontation that night was completely absent from the conversation between the two. At this time, they seemed like good friends, like old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
Huo Shaoting curled his lips and smiled: "You should have called me. If I knew you would come to Huo's house, I would have come back earlier."
"I'm just here to visit, so I don't need to waste your time."
After hearing this, Huo Shaoting introduced to Qiqi: "Yunhe, Xu Li's brother, has a good relationship with the Huo family and has been a friend for many years."
Qiqi didn't expect that he would introduce Xu Yunhe to her. She originally wanted to know him, but she felt that it was better to do less than to do more, so she was just about to say hello under Huo Shaoting's introduction.
Xu Yunhe interrupted her directly and said to Huo Shaoting: "That's not necessary. This is not the first time Qiqi and I have met. Today is our second meeting."
When Huo Shaoting heard what he said, he looked understanding: "Well, since we know each other, I won't introduce you further."
Qiqi felt that something was wrong with her standing between the two of them, so she took the initiative to say: "Brother Shao Ting, I'm going to help first."
Huo Shaoting said, "I have something to tell you. Come upstairs with me."
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at her and walked straight upstairs without saying hello to Xu Yunhe.
Qiqi was still standing there a little at a loss, but she did not dare to disobey his words and said to Xu Yunhe: "Brother Yunhe, I'm going upstairs first."
Xu Yunhe smiled and said, "Go ahead."
After Qiqi arrived in the room upstairs, Huo Shaoting was sitting on the sofa in the room waiting for her, holding a black mobile phone in his hand.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet, Qiqi stood not far away from him: "Brother Shao Ting, what do you want from me?"
Huo Shaoting looked at her seriously: "Do you like him?"
Qiqi was stunned for a moment. When she realized what he meant, she immediately denied it: "Brother Yunhe and I just met."
Huo Shaoting didn't buy what she said. He just asked, "You can grab someone's sleeve and whisper to someone after you just met them?"
After he said these words, his face gradually became serious: "Qiqi, if you have a good candidate for a son-in-law, I will not stop you. As long as you tell me frankly that you want me to match you, I will I'm all very happy, after all, this is a lifelong event for you, and for your sister's sake, I will also take good care of it for you."
What on earth was he telling her? Choosing a son-in-law and checking?
Did he think there was something between her and Xu Yunhe? Or is he trying to catch her a rare golden husband?
Huo Shaoting looked at her reaction with a very serious expression. It was not as deep as she thought, but it seemed like he was really giving her some advice.
"I will also respect your opinion."
Qiqi said: "Brother Shao Ting, I'm still young and haven't considered this issue yet. If I need it in the future, I will take the initiative to ask you for help."
When Huo Shaoting heard the word "active", he quietly clenched the phone in his hand and looked at her with a layer of ice in his eyes. He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
He whispered: "Well, of course it's up to you."
The conversation between the two of them suddenly stopped there.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. Qiqi looked first, followed by Huo Shaoting.
The servant said outside: "Shao Ting, Qiqi, the dinner is about to begin."
There were still a room full of guests downstairs, so Huo Shaoting naturally wanted to go down and said to the servant: "I know, you go down first."
The Huo family's servant left from the door, and the two of them were still sitting and standing.
Qiqi, who was standing there, asked, "Is there anything else?"
Huo Shaoting sat there and lit a cigarette. Without looking at her, he said to her: "You go down first."
After Qiqi heard what he said, she walked out of the room without staying in front of him any longer.
Huo Shaoting sat there, lighting the cigarette twice in the ashtray with his finger. He looked at her still distant back.
…
After the dinner, Qiqi never saw Xu Yunhe again, and after the dinner, Qiqi and Huo Shaoting had no communication, and any communication they had was just a normal communication.
After the guests dispersed, only Qi Qi, Huo Shaoting, and Sheng Yunxia were left in the hall. Sheng Yunxia said, "It's so late today, so just rest at home."
It's already eleven o'clock tonight, and Huo Shaoting had just received a few glasses of wine from the guests of the Huo family.
He frowned lazily and responded to Sheng Yunxia's words: "Yeah."
Qiqi, who was standing behind Huo Shaoting, did not expect to stay at Huo's house tonight. She immediately said, "Brother Shaoting, I have classes tomorrow, so I won't stay here."
