After the funeral, the guests said goodbye and left one by one.
When passing Huo Qi, Yan Qiang looked at him like all the other guests and said, "My condolences."
Huo Qi nodded.
The two of them didn't say another word or look at each other. What happened just now didn't seem to have much impact on the two of them.
The two have always maintained a cold and indifferent relationship with the outside world.
Yan Qiang and Yan Ce walked out together.
When he was approaching the parking lot, Yan Ce suddenly said: "I haven't seen Xiao Jingshan recently."
The relationship between Xiao Jingshan and Huo Qi has always been very good.
It stands to reason that this is the funeral of Huo Qi's mother, and it is impossible for Xiao Jingshan and Huo Qi not to attend because of their relationship.
Yan Qiang looked at Yan Ce.
At this time, many guests attending the funeral had not yet left and were still greeting each other. Compared with the guests who paid condolences in the previous two days, these guests were much smaller.
"I thought you weren't coming." One of them suddenly said.
"Hey, isn't this the Ning family coming? I have cooperation with the Ning family, so why don't we come?"
"Speaking of which, the Huo family is really interesting."
"How to say?"
"What else can I say? Huo Zhongkang didn't come, so who did the entire Huo family send? Huo Shirui, who has the worst reputation, is he here to offer condolences or to provoke!"
"I wouldn't have discovered it even if you didn't tell me."
"That's not all. Xiao Jingshan, who was so good with Huo Qi that he wore a pair of pants, didn't come, and the Xiao family didn't send anyone. Those who have business dealings with the Huo family didn't come today."
"This is to kill them all. It seems that Mr. Huo will be in trouble in the Huo family from now on."
"I just got the news that Ms. Huang from Hong Kong City, who was rumored to be engaged to Huo Qi, was also brought back to Hong Kong City. Now Huo Qi is considered a loner."
"Aren't there Ning family and Yan family behind this?"
"The head of the Ning family can't be offended. As for the Yan family..." The man smiled, "The current Yan family is not good enough among those big families. That Miss Yan followed Huo Qi before he returned to the Huo family. We are together, and there is a deep affection here."
The few people chatted quietly, but Yan Qiang and Yan Ce just walked over and heard these words clearly.
"Yan, Mr. Yan, Miss Yan."
Someone saw Yan Qiang and Yan Ce and immediately greeted them with a smile.
Everyone else also looked unnatural.
Yan Qiang took in the appearance of these people and considered their backgrounds in her mind.
Yan Ce just looked at them indifferently and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Everyone originally walked out, but he suddenly turned around again.
A few people just breathed a sigh of relief when their hearts were mentioned again.
"You just said something wrong." Yan Ce corrected, "The Yan family is indeed not good enough, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so the Yan family is not that humble."
"No, no, that's not what we meant." The person who said the Yan family was not good apologized repeatedly.
Yan Ce looked at him: "He is always in foreign trade, right?"
The man was sweating coldly.
There is also a chain of contempt in the business circle. In front of the industry, they don't even look at these flip-flopping transactions.
"Yes, yes," the man replied nonchalantly, "A little business."
"Where," Yan Ce said with a smile, "every time I go in and out, a large amount of money is deposited into the account. Mr. He is awesome."
This is not a compliment, it's more like a slap in Mr. He's face.
How dare anyone else touch Yan Ce's troubles at this time?
The Yan family is indeed in decline now, not even one-tenth of its original size, but this decline is only slightly inferior to the big families in Jinghai.
Looking at the entire Jinghai, the Yan family still has an unshakable and famous position.
This camel, which is not yet dead, is even gradually returning to its former glory.
In their eyes, this young Yan is always powerful. The ability to turn the tide and pull the dying Yan family back from the brink of bankruptcy at such a young age is enough to make people admire and envy them.
"Brother, let's go." Yan Qiang suddenly said.
She had withdrawn her gaze, as if she didn't care too much about this scene.
Yan Ce smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. It's my fault, I wasted your time again."
These words are too endearing and in vain.
Yan Qiang instantly understood what he meant and hummed softly: "It's good that you know, hurry up, I have something else to do, don't make me late."
The tone was a bit coquettish.
It wasn't until she got in the car that Yan Qiang stopped her coquettish expression and said, "They are all snobs."
A funeral gave a clear picture of the twists and turns in the entire Jinghai circle.
Everyone also showed their decadence and snobbery vividly.
In their eyes, without the background of the Huo family, without the support of the second young master Xiao, without the marriage of the Huang family, Huo Qi, now that his mother has died, has no chance of turning over.
look.
The entire Huo family only sent Huo Shirui, who had the worst reputation, and Huo Shiqian, who was so low-key that almost no one knew her.
Even Huo Zhongkang didn't show up.
But those people just now, did they really come to attend the funeral? Do they really look down on Huo Qi?
Yes, they looked down on Huo Qi, but they knew they had no better choice, so they looked down on him and flattered him at the same time.
Yan Ce smiled and said, "This is human nature."
He's already been through it.
Huo Qi has experienced more than today.
Yan Qiang didn't talk about it anymore and said to Yan Ce, "I'll be very busy these two days. Send me back. I'll have to go out soon."
"do what?"
"Trying on makeup. There is a red carpet tomorrow and we have to take photos. It's all work related matters." At this point, she asked Yan Ce, "Huang Yuan is really gone?"
"You want to see him? Didn't you just see him last night?"
"Well, I'll talk to him about something."
Yan Ce didn't ask any questions after hearing this.
After learning that Huang Yuan had already left and returned to Hong Kong City ahead of them, Yan Qiang was silent for a few seconds and decided to arrange the work in hand first.
…
Huang Yuan's departure brought Huang Qinying back to the port city.
"He took Huang Qinying away, which means that the marriage will not be established."
The whole Jinghai seemed to be watching Huo Qi's joke.
Yan Qiang has work in the afternoon.
She and Nicole had already made an appointment for a dress fitting, and they had to take two sets of photos in the evening, and they had to prepare for the red carpet tomorrow.
She is very busy.
The cell phone was always given to Daodao.
When all the work for the day was finished, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Yan Qiang took the phone and saw a lot of messages on it.
Most of them were sent by Ning Huanhuan.
Huanhuan: [Something big happened! ]
Huanhuan: [Huo Shirui and Pei Buyu were in a car accident! ]
Huanhuan: [He was hit by a car that ran a red light because of fatigue. Huo Shirui was thrown away without wearing a seat belt and fell into a coma on the spot. ]
Huanhuan: [I just got the news that Huo Shirui may have his leg amputated. ]
Huanhuan: [Pei Buyu's condition is slightly better, it seems he only has skin injuries. ]
Huanhuan: [Really, retribution! ]
Yan Qiang was startled.
When she read the message from Ning Huanhuan, her first reaction was, isn't Pei Buyu with her mother?
If there is a car accident...
Yan Qiang's whole body suddenly tensed up.
She immediately made a call.
"Huanhuan, are Pei Buyu and Huo Shirui the only ones in the car? Is there anyone else?" Yan Qiang no longer cared about the Yan family's affairs and asked her, "Is my mother in the car?"
"Not here. Don't worry, I've already inquired quietly." Ning Huanhuan said, "Besides Pei Buyu and Huo Shirui, the driver and Huo Shiqian are not here. It's quite a coincidence."
Yan Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did her whole body relax.
Just be fine.
But this also indirectly made Yan Qiang suspect that this car accident was specially arranged.
Otherwise, it would be such a coincidence that Pei Buyu, who disappeared behind the funeral, would be in the same car with Huo Shirui, and Huo Shiqian, who had been with Huo Shirui, happened to be not in the car.
And it just so happened that Huo Shirui and Pei Buyu plotted against her in the morning.
"How is the situation now?"
Yan Qiang still has some lingering fears about dim sum.
"Pei Buyu is fine. Someone just came to the hospital to visit him, but Huo Shirui hadn't woken up yet. He hit his head, and his leg was pressed from behind. They said he was going to have his leg amputated. I haven't found out the details yet."
Ning Huanhuan was also a little sad.
When she thought of Huo Shirui's leg being amputated, she couldn't help but click her tongue. Although she didn't want to say it, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
At this time, she didn't know what Huo Shirui and Pei Buyu planned at the funeral.
If she really knew, she would definitely have said something on the spot, why didn't she kill Huo Shirui?
"What are you doing?" Yan Qiang asked her.
"Me? I'm not doing anything, I'm just eating melon. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want to meet me for a late-night snack? Then wait a moment, I want to change clothes."
"Stop fussing, I can't eat. There's a red carpet tomorrow and I'm fasting."
"Hey." Ning Huanhuan breathed her last, "Tell me, you, a good rich young lady, must be a star. You can't eat or drink. How miserable you must be!"
"Do you want to invest?" Yan Qiang suddenly asked her.
"Invest? Invest in what? Invest in you?"
"Yes, invest in me."
"Okay, just tell me how you want to invest. If you had told me earlier, you would be the top actress in the country now, and you wouldn't be still halfway up the mountain."
When Yan Qiang first entered the industry, Ning Huanhuan wanted to spend money on her and give her resources, but Yan Qiang refused.
I didn’t expect that a few years later, she would still be so outstanding!
"Okay." Yan Qiang felt warm in her heart, "The red carpet will be red carpet tomorrow night, and we will return to the set the day after tomorrow. Let's have a midnight snack together tomorrow night?"
"OKOK!"
After making an appointment, the two didn't talk much.
Ning Huanhuan went to eat melon again.
Yan Qiang exited the chat box with Ning Huanhuan and discovered that Huo Qi had also sent her a message.
The time was two hours ago.
There are only two words - [Jingyuan].
After taking off her makeup and changing her clothes, Yan Qiang drove to Jingyuan alone. When I arrived at the door, I happened to see a car leaving in front of me.
It was too dark and the distance was a bit far, so Yan Qiang couldn't see the license plate number clearly.
But she recognized that it was not Huo Qi's car.
The lights in Jingyuan are on.
Yan Qiang sat in the car and looked at Jing Yuan. After a while, she opened the door and got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
Uncle Zhou came over and opened the door.
"Miss Yan." Seeing that it was Yan Qiang, Uncle Zhou immediately opened the door and whispered, "Sir is inside."
Yan Qiang turned her head and glanced at the direction the car was leaving, then smiled at Uncle Zhou, "Has Mr. Huo been living here lately?"
Uncle Zhou followed Yan Qiang's gaze and said in a low voice, "It's Miss Huo Er."
Huo Shiqian?
Yan Qiang saw the end of the road again, her eyes filled with surprise: "I heard that Mr. Pei and Miss Huo were in a car accident."
"Miss Huo Er also came here for this matter." Zhou Bo said to Yan Qiang warmly, "But Mr. Huo didn't see her and asked her not to come here again in the future."
This was meant for Yan Qiang.
He was telling Yan Qiang that no other woman could enter except her.
Yan Qiang nodded slightly to Uncle Zhou and walked inside.
The lights were brightly lit downstairs, but Yan Qiang saw no one from Huo Qi. She went upstairs and saw the man standing in front of the window sill in the bedroom where the lights were not turned on.
The black figure is thin and slender, and under the dim light, he outlines an almost perfect outline.
There was a mellow aroma of alcohol exuding in the bedroom, and it faintly penetrated Yan Qiang's nose, with an intoxicating and heavy smell.
She walked over anyway.
The sound of high heels on the carpet is dull, elegant and restrained, neither ostentatious nor noisy.
She stood next to Huo Qi.
Following Huo Qi's line of sight, she looked out the window, which was the entrance of Jingyuan. Her car, including the main entrance of Jingyuan, and the place where she had just spoken to Uncle Zhou, were all within her sight.
"Why didn't you say anything when you asked me to come?" Yan Qiang broke the silence in the room.
Huo Qi seemed to have found his soul in the statue.
He turned his head and looked at Yan Qiang. In the dimness, he could still see her fair skin, and everything seemed so flawless.
"What were you thinking about when you were sitting in the car?" he asked.
"I was wondering if I came at the wrong time." Yan Qiang turned her head and met his gaze, "Mr. Huo is not that good either. He has a new love so soon."
"I'm not that good, why didn't you come in anyway?" Huo Qi put the wine glass in his hand close to her lips, "Take a sip?"
What's the difference between drinking from him and kissing him.
Yan Qiang took a sip of the wine from his hand. The taste was slightly astringent and the taste was average.
She reached out and hooked Huo Qi's neck, and kissed him on tiptoes.
The astringent taste of wine burst out between their lips and tongues, stimulating their taste buds and senses, exploding in the greenhouse in the depths of winter.
Yan Qiang quickly backed away.
"I drove here," she said.
"so what?"
Huo Qi's eyes were deep, and the wine glass was still in his hand. When Yan Qiang stood on tiptoe to kiss her, his other hand had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to him.
The two of them were intimate at the moment.
"So." Yan Qiang slapped his hand away, "Remember to ask Assistant Wen to take me back tomorrow morning."
Huo Qi's eyes became deeper and deeper: "I didn't keep you overnight."
"I know." Yan Qiang lowered her eyes, took the hand he extended again, lightly scraped his dry palm, and said slowly, "Mr. Huo will not ignore human ethics."
Today is Tong Zi's funeral. Huo Qi asked her to come here definitely not for the things on the bed.
No matter how indulgent he was, he wouldn't be able to endure it for more than a few nights.
She raised her eyes to look at Huo Qi. In the darkness, there was still light in her eyes: "I want to accompany Mr. Huo, soothe Mr. Huo's fragile heart, and take advantage of the opportunity to offset Mr. Huo's feelings towards me. That bit of hatred. Just use some caution. I hope Mr. Huo will be gentler to me for the sake of tonight when he hates me so much in the future. "
