Chapter Summary
"I asked you where she is." Ning Quruo's tone remained calm. Huo Yan's eyes swept over gently, "She's seen me in my more direct and mean ways, don't you think?" Lin Zhiyun held the phone and felt that it was so hot that it was about to burn. He's really judging others by his own standards!" Before he could finish his words, he saw Huo Yan indifferently turn his wheelchair and get into the elevator.
"I asked you where she is." Ning Quruo's tone remained calm.
Lin Zhiyun had sweat on his forehead and was under great pressure.
"Miss Gu is already asleep, so why not not disturb her today?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a few seconds, a very light sneer was heard.
"Huo Yan, does my sister know that you are so mean?"
Lin Zhiyun: “…”
He glanced back at the man behind him timidly.
Huo Yan's eyes swept over gently,
"She's seen me in my more direct and mean ways, don't you think?"
Lin Zhiyun held the phone and felt that it was so hot that it was about to burn.
Why is he sandwiched between these two people who are having a conversation across the air?
There's a terrible feeling of being attacked from both sides.
On the other end of the phone.
Ning Quruo remained silent for a long time.
Just when Lin Zhiyun thought the man was about to lose his temper, Ning Quruo suppressed his anger and spoke in a calm voice.
"Where is she?"
Lin Zhiyun widened his eyes slightly.
Ning Quruo has really become a little different.
Huo Yan chuckled lightly.
"I won't tell you."
Lin Zhiyun: “…”
Huo Yan really doesn't intend to have a good relationship with this brother-in-law, right?
There was only Ning Quruo's low breathing on the other end of the phone.
When he spoke again, his voice was still gentle, but his voice was tense, as if it might break at any moment.
"She's not in good health right now, and she's only just come of age. According to her correct birthday, she's not even an adult yet. Can't you just endure it for a few months for her own good?"
Lin Zhiyun glanced at Huo Yan silently.
Speaking of which...
What my brother-in-law said really makes sense, doesn’t it?
Every word he said was for Miss Gu's benefit.
Quite gentle and appropriate.
He looked at Huo Yan.
The man had a faint smile on his face.
"So... you clearly know that she will definitely be mine in a few months..."
Deathly silence.
This time, Ning Quruo didn't say anything.
“Beep, beep…”
Suddenly, the phone was disconnected.
Lin Zhiyun swallowed his saliva.
"Mr. Huo..."
There's no need to do this, it will only anger Brother Ning...
By then, Gu Weiman will be the one in trouble.
Mr. Huo didn't do anything to Miss Gu...just say it nicely.
Before he could finish his words, he received a cold look from Huo Yan.
He timidly repeated his words and smiled awkwardly.
"I don't think Mr. Huo would take advantage of someone's misfortune, haha. Ning Quruo is just worrying too much! He's really judging others by his own standards!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Huo Yan indifferently turn his wheelchair and get into the elevator.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
The elevator goes directly to the third floor bedrooms.
Huo Yan went straight into the bedroom.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Zhiyun vaguely saw the small figure on the bed.
The next second, "click", the bedroom door was closed.
Lin Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the sound of the door being locked.
He stood there for a while.
So... Brother Ning's worries are really right!
Beast!
…
A black Aston Martin drove out of the hotel building's underground garage and quickly disappeared in the rain.
Ning Quruo sat in the driver's seat, sparks blooming in his dark peach blossom eyes.
Galloping all the way.
The car turned in the direction of Xiangshan.
After a while.
The black Aston Martin was parked outside the Huo family's old house.
A large manor with the door tightly closed.
Ning Quruo rang the doorbell without saying a word.
Good night~
