novelThe Absurd Juliet
| ← Ch.176 | Ch.178 → |
Before Ye Shaochen could finish his sentence, Huo Yunxi hung up the phone directly. The beeping busy tone seemed to be mocking him for being in a sorry state.
"Aiya, I'm really sorry." Juliet shrugged. Although she was apologizing, the schadenfreude on her face told everyone that she was in a good mood.
Ye Shaochen grabbed the folder on the table and smashed it over, "Get out!"
Seeing that Ye Shaochen was really angry, Zhu Liye sighed helplessly. He took out a document from her bag and flew to Ye Shaochen, "A while ago, someone entrusted my boss to deal with Huo Yunqi and QC Company."
Ye Shaochen flipped through the documents with a skeptical attitude. His expression became more and more serious. Finally, he closed the documents and said coldly, "Who is your boss? Who is the person dealing with QC?"
"I don't know." Juliet shrugged her shoulders."I was just telling you this because of my previous feelings. Alright, I'll go first. You can slowly coax your wife."
Back then, love
The corner of Ye Shaochen's mouth twitched. Back then, Juliet's orientation had already been biased towards women, so many people ridiculed him for alienating him. Ye Shaochen was just being nice to her. He never thought that she would think that it was "affection".
"Who is it that wants to target Huo Yunqi?" Ye Shaochen's fingers lightly tapped on the folder a few times. His expression was very serious, and he immediately decided to return home immediately.
Before returning, Ye Shaochen first called Huo Yunqi and told him to be careful, thinking about all the abnormal people and things in the surroundings.
After hanging up Ye Shaochen's phone, Huo Yunqi's eyes flashed. He dialed Bai Lin's number and said, "How's Zhuang Xinran?"
Ever since he brought Zhuang Xinran back from Beijiao Hospital that day, Huo Yunqi hadn't visited her at the hospital.
Bai Lin's voice came from the phone, "He's awake, but the bullet was too close to his heart, so he still needed to be hospitalized."
"Alright, I understand." Huo Yunqi nodded and hung up the phone. His fingers propped up his forehead and he fell into deep thought. Xia Luobing's face suddenly jumped out. It was clearly very close and clear, but every time he wanted to grab it, the image of that face would instantly shatter.
It was already very late in the night, but Huo Yunqi still hadn't slept at all. In the end, he took the car keys and left the study. He drove away from the house for the purpose of wandering around.
Where is Xia Luobing at this time? What is she doing? Had she fallen asleep peacefully, or was she like him, unable to fall asleep because she was pretending to be worried?
"Creak!"
Huo Yunqi abruptly stepped on the brakes and realized that he had already driven the car to the entrance of the villa where he and Charlotte were staying. Looking through the window, there was no light in the villa.
Just as Huo Yunqi was hesitating to get out of the car, he saw two figures flash out of the villa. One of them attracted Huo Yunqi's eyes so tightly that he didn't dare to move his eyes away for a moment.
Xia Luobing glanced at Lin Chen who was beside her and said uncertainly, "Is this really where I lived before my divorce? Why isn't there even a picture inside?"
Lin Chen tugged at Charlotte and said, "Get in the car first!"
Xia Luobing wanted to see where she lived before the divorce, but South Stream was not here, so she could only drag Lin Chen over.
Just as she entered the villa, she felt a wave of sadness and sadness. However, when she looked through the room and didn't even see a picture of herself, she felt bad.
"Huo Yunqi must have changed his mind." Charlotte said with a cold face and no gritted teeth.
Lin Lin Chen nodded in agreement, "He is already engaged to your sister. Didn't you already see that?"
Hearing this, Xia Luobing was stunned. Yes, Huo Yunqi was already engaged. Why did he say that he wanted to change her mind when he saw a different person?
The black Mercedes-Benz continued to walk in front of Huo Yunqi. Huo Yunqi followed him unhurriedly until he turned the corner. Two retrograde cars blocked the possibility of Huo Yunqi continuing to follow him on the road.
Looking at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, Lin Chen's eyes flashed. Was he that easy to track?
Xia Luobing looked at Lin Chen and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Lin Chen shook his head and changed the topic of Charlotte's conversation with a smile, "Are you really going to work?"
Xia Luobing nodded, "Actually, apart from losing ten years of memories, I'm in good health and won't affect my work."
"Alright." Lin Chen nodded his head. The corner of his mouth was still smiling. However, it was not as real as before, as if he was hiding something.
When he returned to the villa, Nanxi had already returned. After exchanging glances with Lin Chen, Lin Chen left the living room very tactfully and returned to his room.
"Why aren't you resting?" Seeing Nan Xi waiting in the living room, Xia Luobing stepped on him and said something to himself. He walked over and sat on the sofa opposite him.
South Stream pushed the warm milk on the table in front of Charlotte's ice, "Here you are. It's good for sleep."
Xia Luobing picked up the glass wall and smiled, "Thank you."
"Luo Bing, I have something to leave for a while. Here is the key to the villa. You can come over at any time." Nan Xi handed a bunch of keys to Xia Luobing with a lonely look in her eyes."Actually, you can be here while I'm away."
If he couldn't see her, but thinking that she was in the house, his heart would be warm and full.
"Where are you going?" Xia Luobing keenly sensed that there was something South Stream was hiding from her, so she asked uneasily, "Do you hate dangerous things?"
Dangerous things were generally illegal, and Charlotte's anxiety grew even stronger.
As if having guessed what Xia Luobing was thinking, Nanxi looked into her eyes and suddenly smiled, "If I were a bad person, would you arrest me?"
Xia Luobing's heart skipped a beat as she clenched her fingers and said, "I hope you're a good person."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, " Nan Xi nodded after a moment of silence.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Xia Luobing asked doubtfully. She felt that South Stream had something on her mind.
Nan Xi shook his head, "Remember to drink milk. I'm going to rest first."
The moment he turned around, Nanxi's mind sank. Layers of thick frost covered his eyes. A voice in his heart whispered, "Loro, I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Luo Luo, only in a place where she couldn't hear him would he dare to call out these two words so carefully and cherishly.
Lorraine, I'm leaving. Goodbye.
The next morning, Charlotte was awakened by the small hands. The sunlight fell on her back through the big French window, warming her heart.
"Mommy, the sun is shining on my butt." Duo Duo kissed Xia Luobing on the face, then pulled back and stared at her beautiful eyes seriously, "Mommy, I'm Duo Duo, remember?"
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment, then understood that Duo Duo was frightened by what happened yesterday. She sat up with her hands on the bed and carried Duo Duo into her arms. She lowered her head to give her daughter a kiss of relief and slowly said, "Duo Duo, Mommy's head hit a rock, so she temporarily forgot some things. But I know that you are my daughter, so don't be afraid, okay?"
Duo Duo hesitated for a moment and nodded forcefully, "I'm not afraid of Mommy, but Mommy must not forget Duo Duo, I am Duo Duo!"
Her soft voice was so sweet that it was as if she had eaten honey. Xia Luobing nodded her head repeatedly, "Good, good, I remember, you are Mommy's Duo Duo!"
This was her daughter. Only her daughter could make her heart so soft and full.
When Charlotte changed her clothes and led Duo Duo downstairs, she saw the empty living room and the empty courtyard. She was stunned for a moment, "Where is he?"
Duo Duo ran to the sofa in the living room with her short legs, holding an envelope and handing it to Xia Luobing, "Mommy, look, there's a letter!"
Xia Luobing hesitantly took it and opened the envelope. Seeing the contents of the envelope, she unconsciously frowned.
Nanxi said, "Luo Bing, Lin Chen and I have something to do. We can't say goodbye to each other. I'm really sorry. The keys to the villa are on the coffee table. You can come back at any time."
Why did he suddenly leave?
Xia Luobing vaguely understood what Nan Xi said last night. It seemed that he had already prepared to leave this place, but why? Since time was of the essence, why didn't you tell her about it yourself yesterday?
"Mommy? What's wrong with you?" Duo Duo shook Xia Luobing's arm."Where are Uncle Nanxi and Uncle Lin Chen? Duo Duo's stomach is so hungry!"
Xia Luobing came to his senses in time and put the letter back here. He bent down to pick up his daughter and whispered, "Uncle Nanxi and Uncle Lin Chen have something to do. Shall we go back to our house today? Let's go home and mother will cook delicious food for you."
Duoduo immediately nodded like garlic: "Good me, I love to eat my mother's cooking!"
Xia Luobing's eyes flashed. She never cooked. Duoduo was really easy to feed. But just now, the steps of cooking flashed through Xia Luobing's mind, as if she had cooked countless times.
Xia Luobing was stunned for a while before she suddenly realized that those memories belonged to the ten years that she had lost.
"Alright, we're going home." Charlotte left the villa with Duo Duo in her arms. She took a few steps and looked back. She pursed her lips and left.
In the black car at the intersection not far away, Lin Chen looked at the figure walking further and further away. He sighed and looked at South Stream, "People are leaving, we should go now!"
Nanxi nodded, "Let's go, it's time to put away the net."
Apart from the engagement of QC President Huo Yunqi a few days ago, City A had always been calm, but some people could faintly smell danger from this calm.
Ye Shaochen had already flown back from abroad overnight. He was currently sitting in Hohoe Yunqi's office. He handed him the information about Zhu Liye and said in a low voice, "We should have dug him out after Ji Wei died."
According to all the information available, the mastermind who wanted to deal with them this time was still Jerry.
Unfortunately, five years ago, after Ji Wei's death, a series of events happened in the Huo Clan. Even though Huo Yunqi had the intention to capture this person at that time, he still had no time to avatar.
"I didn't expect five years to pass and he actually came out again." Huo Yunqi flipped through the information on the table and looked at Ye Shaochen."I know what to do. You can go home first. Yunxi is waiting for you!"
Ye Shaochen smiled bitterly, "I know."
Juliet's style of doing things was still so unfathomable. It was hateful that she had specially run to inform him of this matter and not forgotten to cause trouble for him!
After Ye Shaochen left, Huo Yunqi silently drove to the public security bureau for a moment. He was sure that Xia Luobing would go to work.
Sure enough, around 3 p. m. , Charlotte drove into the public security compound. However, half an hour later, she walked out dejectedly. Not long after, Li Xiang hurriedly followed her.
"Boss, don't mind. Director Zhang is deliberately making trouble. Don't take it to heart." Li Xiang comforted.
