Qin Mian was a little surprised that Huo Lin suddenly had so much humanity.
But after thinking about it carefully, although Huo Lin was indifferent to her, he came from a noble family and received a gentleman's education since childhood. Even if the female companion at the moment was not her, Huo Lin would still do this.
There is a lot of space in the back seat of the car. After planning the above, Qin Mian leaned against the car window and leaned down slightly to rub his sore ankles.
The fender of the back seat had already been raised. With the warm yellow light in the car, Huo Lin didn't need to be deliberate at all. He could just turn his head and catch a glimpse of the beautiful scenery on her chest.
Huo Lin frowned slightly, looked away, and slowly said, "What did Mr. Ji say to you?"
After rubbing her ankle, she stood up and looked sideways at the man next to her. He still looked the same, leaving her with only a handsome and cold profile.
"What can he say to me?" She twitched the corners of her mouth, with appropriate doubts in her tone.
She quickly ran through the plot in her mind. The original text did not mention that she and Ji Chengyi had been seatmates, and even the name Ji Chengyi did not appear.
Huo Lin glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Qin Mian, you don't have to worry about business matters."
Huo Lin naturally didn't pay attention to such an illegitimate son. However, during his brief contact with Ji Chengyi, he felt that this person was not a good person. In addition, in the eyes of the Ji family's internal strife, he would definitely be implicated. to others.
Huo Lin didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he naturally had to remind Qin Mian.
In his eyes, Qin Mian was beautiful, but empty-headed and easily deceived.
It turned out that she was thinking too much just for this.
Qin Mian nodded and turned to look out the window.
Even if Huo Lin didn't remind her, she would stay away from Ji Chengyi's mad dog.
…
When she returned to the villa, Aunt Xu had not rested yet and had just put the bath water for Qin Mian.
As soon as he entered the villa, Qin Mian threw the coat on the sofa and ran directly to the room.
The suit jacket lay crumpled on the sofa in front of Aunt Xu and Huo Lin.
Aunt Xu cleared her throat, glanced at Huo Lin awkwardly, and changed the subject, "Sir, the hangover soup is being cooked in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."
Looking at the coat thrown carelessly on the sofa, Huo Lin inevitably frowned, with a complicated look on his face.
I don't know if it's his misunderstanding, but I always feel that something is wrong with Qin Mian recently.
After drinking the hangover soup in one gulp, Huo Lin took out his cell phone and sent a message to Fang Zhou.
…
The next day, Qin Mian woke up and it was already bright.
After washing briefly, she took her mobile phone and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Huo Lin, the workaholic, had already returned to the company, and now she was the only one in the whole restaurant.
As soon as I took a sip of milk, my phone rang.
She picked it up and looked at it, quickly swallowed the milk in her mouth, cleared her throat, put on a smile, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"Mianmian, I heard that Lao Ji said that Alin took you to Ji's dinner party yesterday?"
The old man on the other end of the phone was very angry and sounded in a good mood.
Didn't her grandparents ask Huo Lin to take her there?
Qin Mian was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what medicine Huo Lin was selling in the gourd, he still responded sweetly to the old man.
It could be heard that the old couple were very satisfied with Huo Lin's actions. They first cared about Qin Mian's recent life, then inquired about their recent developments, and finally looked at Qin Mian's ambiguous answer. Hang up the phone.
Huo Mansion.
"This time I have wronged Mianmian." The old lady in cheongsam sighed, and she really didn't agree with her grandson's actions. "Fortunately, Mianmian doesn't remember Alin's grudge."
The old man also sighed and put the phone aside, "Old Qin entrusted me with his only granddaughter because he wanted me to protect the child, but now, I don't know what the purpose of tying them together is. Not a mistake."
The old man referred to Lao Qin as his old comrade-in-arms and good brother. In order to save him, Lao Qin broke a leg and then returned to his hometown. The two families have not lost contact for many years.
But later something happened to Huo Lin's parents, Huo Lin gradually grew up, and the contact between the two families gradually became less and less.
The old Huo family are not ungrateful people. They have taken their children and grandchildren to visit Lao Qin's hometown many times. At that time, Qin Mian was still a baby in his arms.
Lao Qin had a broken leg. He didn't have a wife in his hometown. He picked up an abandoned baby. The child was quite promising. He was admitted to university, entered a graduate school, and married his tutor's daughter.
It's just that these two couples were obsessed with research, and they didn't take much care of the child at all. They always kept it by Lao Qin's side.
If Lao Qin hadn't been ill and didn't have much time left to worry about his son and daughter-in-law, he wouldn't have entrusted Qin Mian to him later.
"What's the use of worrying about just the two of us? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!" The old lady put her hand on the back of the old man's hand and patted it twice, "I'll ask them to come back in a few days."
In the words of the old man, at his age, most of his body has already been buried. What he wants to see most now is that his only grandson can give them a great-grandson to come out and play with.
Naturally, they are looking forward to a good relationship between their grandchildren and their daughter-in-law.
…
Qin Mian didn't know anything about her grandparents' plans.
At this moment, she was wrapped in a down jacket and carrying a large bowl of cat food to feed the stray cats in the villa area.
She has been fond of kittens and puppies since she was a child. When she was studying and had plenty of money, she would feed the little strays in the school.
Later, I married Huo Lin and moved into a villa area. When I took a walk, I would check if there were any stray cats or dogs in the surrounding area. It’s just that the property management here is very dedicated, and there are generally no stray dogs, but there are a few kittens.
At first she wanted to adopt him, but she gave up the idea after learning that Huo Lin was allergic to cat hair.
After all, at that time, she was only thinking about Huo Lin.
Several little strays were very familiar with Qin Mian. After hearing Qin Mian's call, they ran out from everywhere and rubbed around Qin Mian's feet.
