Almost half an hour later, Mrs. Huo's phone call came to Huo Shaoting. Qiqi was lying on the bed and continuing to try to fall asleep. Huo Shaoting also happened to sit by the bed for more than ten minutes when the phone rang. Finally, Qiqi opened her eyes and looked at him.
Huo Shaoting originally wanted to wait for her to fall asleep. After hearing the vibrating sound of his phone, he took it out and only glanced at the incoming call reminder.
Qiqi asked: "Brother Shao Ting, is this your work phone?"
Huo Shaoting whispered to her: "It's the old lady's." After saying that, he said again: "I'll take it, you can go to sleep."
Qiqi nodded subconsciously while lying on the bed, and Huo Shaoting got up from the bed, but after getting up and leaving, he stopped again.
In the dim room, the light from outside shone in, and his tall figure fell on her.
He said again in the dim light: "I'm just outside in the corridor."
Qiqi hummed softly.
Huo Shaoting left her bedside and went outside the hospital to answer the phone.
Qiqi knew that he should be very busy with official duties now, so she didn't dare to disturb him.
Huo Shaoting walked outside and his secretary was standing beside him. He handed the phone to the secretary and said, "This is the old lady's phone number. Please have a word with her."
The secretary understood and took the phone from him to answer the call.
After Huo Shaoting took the phone from his secretary, he went to the corridor to smoke.
The next day, Huo Shaoting took Qiqi back to Jinghai. On the day she returned to Jinghai, Qiqi followed Huo Shaoting and appeared in the hall of the Huo family. In the hall of the Huo family, Qiqi felt old. The wife's expression seemed to have changed.
Qiqi didn't know what was going on.
Because Qiqi was still in the stage of preserving her fetus, she didn't get out of bed to walk, so she handed Qiqi's coat to the servant and asked the servant to take Qiqi upstairs to rest.
The Huo family's servant came to Qiqi and said to Qiqi: "Madam, let's help you upstairs first."
Qiqi glanced at Sheng Yunxia quietly, her expression was not much different from that of the old lady. She didn't know what happened, so after the servant's words, she stood there for a few seconds and followed the servant upstairs.
After Qiqi arrived upstairs, Huo Shaoting, who was standing in the hall, looked at the old lady's expression, then walked towards the sofa, walked up to the old lady, and asked: "What's wrong? Who is messing with you?" Happy."
After Huo Shaoting said this, he added: "On this business trip, I brought you some specialties from my mother's family. You can try them later to see if they taste like that."
When Mrs. Huo heard what he said, she didn't look happy at all. She said, "My mother's family, that's my mother's family. I don't think it's still my mother's family."
The old lady spoke in a strange manner.
Huo Shaoting naturally knew the reason. He didn't answer her call last night because he was afraid of the old lady's attitude.
Sheng Yunxia said from the side: "Shao Ting, that is Qian Qian's father-in-law, and Qian Qian is the old lady's nephew."
After listening to Sheng Yunxia's words, Huo Shaoting did not look at Sheng Yunxia, nor did he reply to Sheng Yunxia. Instead, he looked at the old lady for a long time and said, "I came back to talk to you about this matter. It's good for your family to start a family, and so is Qianqian." Your great-nephew, but you may not know much about the affairs of the branch. In recent years, due to the relationship between your natal family and the branch, the branch has always preferred the Tang family for supply transactions. I am also very fond of it. I trust the Tang family, but there was something wrong when I went to investigate this time. Although the problem is not big, it is not small, and the issue of principle is not a small problem."
"I know it's a minor problem, but your way of dealing with it is too ruthless. Something like this happened to Qian Qian's father-in-law. How can you let Cheng Jia raise his head? How can Qian Qian raise his head?"
The old lady was still quite angry that he ignored her face.
Huo Shaoting bent down and said: "Then what do you mean to deal with it? No matter what, or a warning? Or do you mean to condone this situation?"
Huo Shaoting said to the old lady as if coaxing a child.
The old lady was still very angry: "Don't tell me this. I don't understand your things. Can't we just let the Tang family pay for it privately?"
After saying that, the old lady got up from the sofa and left. Of course, her face showed an unforgiving expression.
…
Qiqi originally came upstairs, but because she was a little curious about the downstairs, she hid at the door and listened quietly. She happened to overhear the conversation downstairs, but after she saw her grandma leaving the hall, she immediately returned to the room. , dare not come out again.
It was quiet downstairs. Sheng Yunxia was still standing there. She said, "Shao Ting, if your father handles this matter, he won't do this. He will take the old lady into consideration."
Huo Shaoting didn't feel too cold and arrogant about Sheng Yunxia's words this time. Instead, he followed Sheng Yunxia's words and said, "Well, I did handle this matter a little wrong."
But it’s unclear whether what he said was perfunctory or something else.
Sheng Yunxia knew that her son never paid much attention to her, so she said again: "Okay, everything has happened, you should just coax the old lady."
After Sheng Yunxia finished speaking, she also left the hall.
After she left, Huo Shaoting went upstairs, where Qiqi was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, pretending not to hear anything, with her back to him.
Huo Shaoting walked to the room and saw at a glance that she was not asleep yet. He stayed by her bed for a few seconds and asked, "Still not asleep yet?"
Qiqi knew that she had failed to pretend to be asleep, so she could only open her eyes and say, "No."
Huo Shaoting glanced at her and said, "Go to bed early."
Qiqi responded.
Huo Shaoting went to the bathroom, but when Huo Shaoting walked to the bathroom door, Qi Qi asked: "Brother Shao Ting, father-in-law of Qian Qian, is Tang Qing...'s father?"
Huo Shaoting stood at the door of the bathroom and answered her quietly: "This happened in the past and has nothing to do with you."
Qiqi hugged the quilt tightly for three seconds and nodded: "Oh."
Huo Shaoting said again: "Go to rest early."
After he finished speaking, he entered the bathroom.
…
The next day, when the old lady learned that Qiqi was hospitalized in the neighboring city with her private parts red, she didn't bother to vent her anger with Huo Shaoting. She ran into Qiqi's house very distressed all morning and pulled Qiqi. Qi's hand said: "My child, you have suffered. If I had known better, I shouldn't have let you go out with Shao Ting."
At this time, Sheng Yunxia walked to the old lady and said, "Mom, the early stage was originally a period of instability. The doctor said it's fine. Just take care of yourself."
Although Sheng Yunxia said this, she also said to Qiqi: "Don't get out of bed and walk these days. You must strictly follow the doctor's instructions."
Qiqi nodded and said, "I understand."
Sheng Yunxia then arranged for the servants to make soup.
…
One morning passed, and Qiqi was almost dizzy while sitting upstairs, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Huo Shaoting was working at home today. When he was about to eat at noon, he came in. When he got to the room, he asked Qiqi: "Would you like to eat upstairs or downstairs?"
