"Hello, uncle." Qiao Wan suppressed her nervousness and showed a decent smile.
"I remember that it was Xiaochuan who was engaged to you. It seems that you came here with Lao Wu?" A trace of suspicion flashed in Mr. Huo's eyes.
Faced with Mr. Huo's inquiry, Qiao Wan did not dare to be vague.
"Uncle, what you originally said was for the Huo and Qiao families to get married. It was just because Gu Mochuan happened to be about the same age as me, so you acquiesced in my marriage to him. However, now I feel that he and I are not suitable."
It was impossible for her to fulfill her engagement with someone who was dating her best friend, so she might as well take this opportunity to make it clear.
"Qiao Wan, what are you making a fuss about?" Gu Mochuan didn't expect Qiao Wan to speak out in front of Mr. Huo, fearing that Mr. Huo would know what he was doing outside and ruin his image as a good grandson in front of Mr. Huo.
He hurriedly made amends, "Grandpa, Wanwan has been angry with me recently. She and her uncle are probably..."
Mr. Huo raised his hand to stop Gu Mochuan from continuing.
Gu Mochuan was stumbling when he spoke, and it looked like he was perfunctory.
"Xiaochuan, let Miss Qiao speak for herself."
Afterwards, Mr. Huo's tone became a little more friendly.
"Miss Qiao, did my grandson do something bad to make you unhappy? I am half your elder. You can tell me and I will help you teach this kid a lesson."
Qiao Wan brewed her emotions for a while and spoke in a calm and generous tone.
"Uncle, I believe you have heard about what happened to the Qiao family recently. My father was so sick that he was hospitalized, and the company was facing liquidation. I was also very busy with my father's medical expenses of millions a month. At this juncture, my My fiancé is at the club with my bestie.”
"So I forgive you for not continuing this engagement."
Mr. Huo was a little shocked. He didn't expect Qiao Wan to be so frank.
"Qiao Wan, you're so embarrassed to accuse me, but you're not acting improperly and hooking up with your uncle." Gu Mochuan jumped a little.
Huo Ping also helped Gu Mochuan speak.
"Yes, Dad, this woman is so promiscuous. She is still a rich lady, but she is willing to degenerate and go to a place like a nightclub. It's no wonder Xiaochuan."
At this time, Huo Yan also stood up and spoke.
"Sister, let's put things in order. It seems that your son was confused with others first."
"That's what she deserves. She can't even look down on her fiancé, so her face is blinded." Huo Ping still spared no effort to attack Qiao Wan.
"Okay, what's the noise like?" Mr. Huo used his cane a few times, and the air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
He looked at Huo Yan.
"Lao Wu, come to the study with me."
Huo Yan nodded and followed Mr. Huo to the study.
When things got to this point, no one would be able to sit down and eat together calmly. Qiao Wan was going to wait for Huo Yan in the yard and go back together later.
She put the tea leaves selected by Huo Yan on the coffee table and walked to the yard.
The Huo family garden was very large, and it was easy to get lost when walking deeper into it, so she casually sat on a built bench.
As everyone knows, a figure has been following Qiao Wan.
Apart from stirring up trouble at the beginning, Huo Jin hardly participated in their quarrel later on.
The whole time, he kept watching Qiao Wan.
He found that this woman was not only pretty but also eloquent.
The most important thing is to have courage. You know, there are not many people who can be so calm and straightforward in front of his father.
No wonder Huo Yan took her back to his old home.
However, the rabbit still didn't eat the grass beside the nest, so he didn't believe that Qiao Wan and Huo Yan really had anything to do with each other.
Huo Jin secretly planned in his heart.
The wind at night was a bit cool, and a few stars appeared in the sky. Qiao Wan was wearing thin clothes, and sitting outside, she unconsciously gathered her coat.
At this time, Huo Jin walked over with one hand in his pocket and a glass of vodka in the other.
"Why is Miss Qiao sitting here? Is she waiting for fifth brother to come out? Why don't you go sit in my room?"
"No thanks."
Qiao Wan politely refused. During the confrontation just now, she noticed Huo Jin's gaze, just like a hunter spotting his prey.
The people in the Huo family are really weirder than the last.
It's better to keep your distance.
"I think Miss Qiao is also a smart person, so I'll get straight to the point. I wonder how much benefit my fifth brother has given you, and what kind of cooperation we have reached?"
Although something happened to the Qiao family, if the Huo family can help a little, they may not be able to come back to life.
Moreover, Mr. Huo and Qiao Yueshan have a long history. Although Mr. Huo was decisive in killing when he was young, he was very affectionate and righteous.
Qiao Wan is indeed a good marriage partner.
Qiao Wan pretended to be confused and confused.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Huo... Yan and I also fell in love at first sight. I think he is much more reliable than Gu Mochuan. That's why we confirmed our relationship. How can we call it cooperation when it comes to relationships?"
What he said was impeccable, but Huo Jin smiled.
"Fifth brother has a good eye for selecting people, and I always like to cooperate with smart people. In this way, you can tell me what benefits fifth brother promises you. Maybe I can give you more. I guess the Qiao family must be in great need now. Money."
Huo Jin is indeed a difficult opponent, and the key to the cooperation between Qiao Wan and Huo Yan is revealed in one sentence.
However, Qiao Wan didn't show it on her face.
"You did misunderstand. Huo Yan did help me with the Qiao family's matter, but that was all because of our friendship. You don't have to say it so harshly."
Of course, Huo Jin didn't believe it so easily. Qiao Wan was just trying to cover up the truth.
"Why should Miss Qiao be so absolute? Fifth brother has just come back from abroad, and you don't know much about him. But you can casually ask about my reputation in Beijing, Huo Si. I am the most honest person and the best talker. You and Wu Cooperating with my brother is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."
"Sorry, I really don't understand what you said, and I don't want to understand." Qiao Wan simply stopped talking nonsense with him, stood up and left.
"There's no rush, what I don't lack most is patience."
Huo Jin smiled half-heartedly, looked at Qiao Wan's back and said this.
Qiao Wan casually walked around the Huo family yard and saw that the lights in the study on the second floor were still on. Apparently Huo Yan hadn't come out yet and was a little bored.
I planned to change places and continue sitting, but I didn't expect to bump into Gu Mochuan.
Qiao Wan frowned, feeling unlucky, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Gu Mochuan.
"Qiao Wan, I haven't seen you for a few days and you are very capable. You even coaxed my uncle to take you back to the Huo family. It has been so long since the Qiao family has been bankrupt and liquidated. It must be you who coaxed my uncle to go there in bed. Have you invested money in your company?"
"Gu Mochuan, keep your mouth clean!"
Qiao Wan felt a little tired from dealing with Huo Jin just now and didn't want to talk nonsense with Gu Mochuan anymore.
"Ha, Qiao Wan, I'm warning you to be careful. There is no fuel-efficient lamp in the Huo family. My brother-in-law is not as easy to fool as I am, and he will be fooled by you."
