On the top floor of the cold office building, Huo Zhiyan was looking down at his phone.
He frowned, and swiped the screen with his right index and middle fingers, enlarging the face of the woman in the photo and shrinking his pupils.
There was an inexplicable fire in my heart.
Li Jiu ran over and knocked on the door, panting: "Boss, you just had a day off, why did you call me in such a hurry?"
The tax issue has been resolved, and there is no danger.
The whole company was tense for more than ten days, and everyone was complaining. It was not easy to relieve the burden.
Huo Zhiyan has always been a law-abiding businessman. Even if Huo Mingxiao made some small moves behind his back, it would not have any substantial impact on him.
This battle was a draw between the two.
But business is business, and Lu Anzhi has indeed been ignored these past few days.
Just go back to the garage, why are you still involved with that shady Huo Bowen?
Huo Zhiyan winked at Li Jiu and said in a deep voice: "Go and find out what Huo Bowen is doing recently. If he dares to make trouble in Lu Anzhi's store, find a few people to smash his car."
Li Jiu was stunned: "Huo Bowen?"
He quickly took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and carefully asked the people who were staring at the young lady's car repair shop what was going on.
After the communication was completed, Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss, the young lady's shop is very good, nothing happened."
Huo Zhiyan raised his eyes: "What are Huo Bowen doing there?"
Li Jiu confessed: "I just went to the young lady to help me build the car. I heard that they even built a simple track at the abandoned driving school behind. They were very happy."
Huo Zhiyan sneered lightly and threw the phone on the table without asking again.
After a while, he spoke again: "The old lady asked me to go back to my old house tonight. You call Lu Anzhi and ask her to come with me."
"Okay." Li Jiu agreed readily: "How about I pick up the young lady? She is quite far away."
Huo Zhiyan stared at him angrily: "How about you go do things for her, I won't be short of you by my side."
Li Jiu smiled and stopped talking: "Okay, okay, I will send the location to the young lady and let her drive there by herself. Really, it's just a little injury on her back. How can she not be able to drive?"
As soon as he took out his mobile phone, Huo Zhiyan clicked his tongue: "Forget it, go pick her up here, and ask Zheng Jun to send over some more decent women's clothes."
That woman must be dressed slovenly and look like a ghost.
…
Lu Anzhi was clamoring to drive Huo Bowen's car.
Huo Bowen and Huang Huabin each held one hand and refused to let her go.
"Boss, you have to have a limit even if you're not afraid of death. Do you really think anyone can drive this kind of car?"
"My sister, you are my only sister. Stop being ridiculous. I can't afford to pay for the loss of life. Wait until that guy Huo Zhiyan comes to ask for me..."
Halfway through the words, Lu Anzhi hurriedly came to his senses and pulled him away: "Please keep your voice down, the brothers in the factory don't know that I'm married. Don't shout around like a loudspeaker. If you shout again, I won't give you anything." Got a car."
Huo Bowen immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
The two of them had been getting along for a few days, and they had become quite familiar with each other, and they spoke much more naturally: "No, there's nothing to hide about this kind of thing."
As he spoke, he snatched the gloves that Lu Anzhi was holding in his arms: "I can't open them for you, unless you two..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and licked his lips blankly, as if he was remembering something.
Lu Anzhi bumped into him: "What are you doing? Are you having a convulsion?"
"No..." Huo Bowen rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "You can't really have a fake marriage, right?"
There was a third part confusion in his tone, a third part curiosity, and the rest was just gossip.
Lu Anzhi immediately became alert: "You are mentally ill, why do you ask that?"
Huo Bowen had no intention of lying to her, and said simply and clearly: "I went back to my old house for dinner the day before yesterday. When I was drinking tea, I seemed to hear Huo Shiyu talking to grandma about this, saying that you two were fake marriages and a lie."
Lu Anzhi was stunned for a moment and was not in a hurry to explain.
Huo Bowen came closer: "I didn't take it seriously at the time. If I had known, I would have listened more. I can still be a spy for you, right?"
Lu Anzhi deliberately let out an angry sigh: "Just you? You want to be a spy for me? I guess you were the one who betrayed me first."
Huo Bowen immediately became unhappy and hurriedly patted his chest to show his loyalty: "How can you, little cousin-in-law, oh no, you are my biological sister now, and I, the younger brother, will not sell you even if I sell Huo Zhiyan, believe me !”
As he spoke, he winked at her, looking confident.
Lu Anzhi laughed out loud: "Then don't make blind guesses. Although Huo Zhiyan and I have not known each other for a long time, but..."
She paused and emphasized: "But the relationship is good. He fell in love with me at first sight and loved me to death. Do you understand?"
Huo Bowen almost choked to death on his own saliva, and clapped his hands very proudly: "You know, you know, my sister is such a gorgeous and unparalleled beauty, what man wouldn't love her to death?"
Just then, the phone rang.
Li Jiu's voice was full of anger: "Young lady, I will be at the door of your store in ten minutes. The boss wants you to go back to the old house with him to have dinner with the old lady."
Lu Anzhi frowned: "The old lady called you?"
"I don't know the details. Anyway, you should come out first. The boss is waiting for you in the company."
Li Jiu hung up the phone in a hurry and looked like he was driving. Lu Anzhi didn't hesitate to ask more questions.
On the other hand, Huo Bowen, whose ears were equipped with radar, said, "Look at what I said. It must be Huo Shiyu, that little pepper, who complained in front of grandma. Grandma is going to take you back and torture you."
Lu Anzhi touched her nose with some guilt: "That's not true."
Huo Bowen laughed a few times: "Who do you think my grandma is? She is famous for her family tradition. When my uncle took that... ahem, Huo Zhiyan's mother, do you know about this?"
Lu Anzhi nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Huo Bowen looked around: "I wasn't born yet, and I didn't see him. After I heard that what happened, even though the uncle was already the leader of the Huo family, he was still hung up in the ancestral hall by my breast and beaten all night."
"If it weren't for my aunt, or if your mother-in-law was crying and begging for mercy now, saying that she would protect the Huo family's face, my uncle would have been beaten to death on the spot."
Huo Bowen spoke softer and softer: "My grandma and my grandfather are also married by family, but they have been a loving couple all their lives. My grandma was very beautiful when she was young. People who wanted to pursue her lined up, and she chose my grandpa. She broke up with other people and didn’t leave anyone with a single thought. She’s a mysophobic person when it comes to relationships, and she’s most taboo about making fun of marriage.”
He does not mean that.
Lu Anzhi was in a state of confusion. These words pierced her heart. It was clear that she was talking about her and Huo Zhiyan.
They are not just treating marriage as a child's play, they are treating marriage as a transaction.
"Sister-in-law, are you listening?" Huo Bowen pushed her.
Lu Anzhi forced a smile: "Listen, I love hearing this kind of gossip. If you have nothing to do, tell me more and I will give you a 20% discount on the car's maintenance fee."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiu called again...
