"Thanks for the reminder."
The old man closed his eyes, his body assaulted by a wave of cold.
He had never expected that Anan would target him and Qichang as well.
Clutching the docunts tightly in his hand, each one was ironclad evidence of the assistance they’d provided Ayun and Jizhou over the years, enough to disgrace them thoroughly, enough to bring the Huo Family to its knees!
...
When Huo Jinnan returned to Nanyuan Villa, there was no sign of Qin Huan.
Mrs. Rong looked at Huo Jinnan, "Sir, the lady went to the movies."
Huo Jinnan stood in the living room and lit a cigarette, "When did she leave?"
Mrs. Rong glanced at the ti, it was already midnight, "She left over two hours ago."
Huo Jinnan raised his arm and glanced at his watch, had she gone out right after he had left?
Looking up at Mrs. Rong, he asked in a low voice, "Was Uncle Lu the one who took her?"
Mrs. Rong, "Yes, the lady had Uncle Lu take her to pick up Miss Wen."
Huo Jinnan stood there and made a call to Uncle Lu, "Where are you?"
After hearing Uncle Lu ntion the location, in the vicinity of the Harbour Gold Complex, he asked in a soft voice, "Where are the lady and Wen Nuan?"
Uncle Lu, "The lady and Miss Wen went to watch a movie. I’m drinking tea at a teahouse nearby."
Huo Jinnan said nothing more, hung up the phone, and looked towards Zhong Qin, "Mom, you and Mrs. Rong go ahead and eat, I’ll step out for a bit."
Zhong Qin looked at Huo Jinnan, "Anan..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Anan had already left the house.
Zhong Qin turned to Mrs. Rong, "Have you felt that the lady and sir have been a bit off these past few days?"
Mrs. Rong was about to shake her head but then seed to recall sothing and nodded slightly, "It does seem a bit odd."
Zhong Qin sighed deeply, her mind heavy as she looked towards the door. Could the two of them have had a quarrel?
Mrs. Rong looked at Zhong Qin.
Zhong Qin rembered the day when Anan took Huanhuan and Xiaowei to pay respects to Huanhuan’s maternal grandparents, and then he ended up in the hospital. Could sothing have happened?
I wonder if Xiaoru went there. Do you know?
She called Wen Ru, "Xiaoru, did you go with Huanhuan a few days ago to pay respects to your uncle and aunt?"
Wen Ru answered with a "No" and, making an excuse that she had sothing to handle, hung up the phone, her breathing heavy and ragged.
Closing her eyes, she thought back to that night, and tears of humiliation trickled down slowly, sliding from the corners of her eyes and dampening the pillow.
No matter how she cried for help, it was to no avail!
Feeling a warmth, blood flowing from between her legs, she was so frightened that she cried out.
Just then, the door opened, and Huo Qichang stord in, grabbed Che Zhiqiang and threw him out, then scooped her up and took her to the hospital.
If it had not been for Huo Qichang, Huanhuan would have been lost.
Later on, Huo Jinyun switched the child, and Xiaoqin was the one who helped her.
Maybe, this was the destined fate?
Thinking of this, and then considering the phone call just now, surely Huo Jinyun had said sothing to cause a misunderstanding between Huanhuan and Anan?
She called Qin Huan, but no one answered. Frowning, she then called Huo Jinnan.
The phone was quickly connected.
Wen Ru took a deep breath and asked softly, "Anan, are you with Huanhuan?"
Huo Jinnan, "Yeah, she’s here."
Wen Ru paused, then inquired softly, "Why isn’t she answering her phone?"
Huo Jinnan, driving halfway there already, "Huanhuan fell asleep, didn’t hear the phone. She’s in the back seat, I can’t reach her phone."
Wen Ru felt sothing was amiss, "Why is she sleeping now?"
Huo Jinnan lit another cigarette, took a drag, and fell silent for a long ti.
