Chapter 187 I promise no one will dare talk about you again
I don't know when Huo Yubai left.
Back in my room, I took a shower and rested.
Until dawn.
Wait until I come out of the room.
Huo Yubai was already dressed and sitting on the sofa.
He wore a well-tailored black suit, a black tie with dark stripes, and a ruby brooch on his shirt collar.
"Good morning." He stood up.
I frowned: "How did you get in?"
"You came in." He smiled, his eyes crinkling, his handsome and refined face radiating gentleness.
"I mean, who opened the door for you?" I demanded.
He pulled out a room key: "You forgot, I booked this place yesterday. Every room is mine until 2 p.m.
I glared at him.
He was holding my coat and draped it over my shoulders: "Want to go have breakfast?"
"I have no appetite." I frowned. "I've noticed that I've gotten more wrinkles since I saw you."
I gently rubbed my temples with my hand.
He raised his hand, his long, slender fingers gently rubbing my forehead. "So I've upset you again? Then I must be really guilty. Punish me by standing next to you while we eat breakfast, okay?"
"I'm sitting while you're standing, I'm eating while you're watching, don't you find that strange?" I slapped his hand away and walked away.
He followed me out: "I don't care what others think, as long as Yan Yan is happy."
"Why are you so glib-tongued?" I scolded angrily. "Be normal!"
“This is how I normally look.” He leaned closer. “Yan Yan doesn’t like it? Then what kind of look do you like? Tell me.”
"Huo Yubai, are you a drama queen?" I was speechless.
We got into the elevator and came down from the top floor.
The restaurant is on the third floor.
The huge restaurant was completely empty.
However, there were people in every food preparation area.
I sighed: "I know you have money, but there's no need to waste it like this."
“This amount of money is nothing,” he explained. “My money is your money.”
I sneered, "Then don't spend my money."
He laughed, his dark eyes brightening: "Okay, I'll transfer all my belongings to you in a bit, but you have to leave me some pocket money, right?"
He looked so pitiful.
I snapped, "Can't you tell I was joking?"
"But I'm serious." He pulled me down to sit. "What do you want to eat?"
"Wonton." I rested my chin on my hand.
Huo Yubai immediately ordered two bowls of wontons to be made.
He sat down next to me, took off his coat and jacket, and helped me take off my jacket as well.
"What else would you like to eat?" he asked.
I glanced at her and asked, "Did you find out if anyone in your mother's family had a similar situation?"
"Not yet." He shook his head: "Because we haven't been in contact for a long time, Huo Fei sent people over. They knew it was me who sent them, and they made a lot of demands, which Huo Fei has already addressed."
"What's the situation with your mother's family?" I asked, curious.
"It's just that the whole family supported my mother to get into a prestigious university, hoping that she could soar to great heights and then give back to the whole family," Huo Yubai explained.
I asked in surprise, "So, your mother was like that, and they didn't do anything about it?"
"What's so important about someone who has lost something to them?" Huo Yubai said coldly in a low voice.
"If all else fails, I'll go there myself," I thought. "I'll try to find out something under the guise of a free clinic."
“They are keeping a close eye on what’s happening here, so they’re probably aware of your presence,” Huo Yubai reminded him.
"They're not paying attention to me, they're clearly paying attention to you." I frowned.
“If you prefer to keep a low profile, I guarantee no one will dare to talk about you in the future.” He was a little nervous.
I said nothing.
At this moment, the wontons were served.
He put some white pepper and chili oil into my bowl, stirred it, and placed it in front of me.
He remembers my habits very clearly.
He ate very plain food, without adding anything.
after awhile.
Huo Fei then called.
Huo Yubai's tone was very cold: "Since they won't cooperate, we'll use other methods."
I could tell immediately that things weren't going well.
I took the phone and said to Huo Fei, "Uncle Huo, you take your people and leave first. I'll handle it. I'll send someone over in a bit and say it's a free clinic. Huo Yubai and I will head over right away."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Huo Fei hung up the phone.
I handed the phone to Huo Yubai: "Isn't there a normal way to solve this problem?"
“Yan Yan is right.” He smiled. “Would you like some xiaolongbao with your favorite crab roe filling?”
I didn't want to eat it at first, but when I heard it was filled with crab roe, I was tempted.
Huo Yubai asked them to bring it up.
I ate several and was very satisfied.
Huo Yubai smiled happily as he watched me finish eating.
"What are you laughing at? Huo Yubai, I haven't forgiven you yet." I kicked him under the table.
He reached out and grabbed my ankle, placing it on his lap. He pressed down on it with one hand, gently kneading my ankle with his fingers. The warmth of his fingers traveled up my ankle, making my heart race and causing me to feel hot.
He smiled casually: "I know you're still angry, but it's okay, I don't care, as long as you let me stay by your side."
"I didn't let you!" I said angrily. "You're the one who stuck to me."
After finishing the last bite of wonton, he said, "Yeah, it was me who stuck it there. It's all my fault."
I snorted and took my foot off.
After that, I contacted Dai Chen'an and others and asked them to come with me.
Upon hearing the name Dai Chen'an, Huo Yubai frowned: "Why are you calling him?"
“Because he’s a professional,” I replied.
Huo Yubai looked unhappy.
“If you don’t want to go, no one will force you.” I stood up.
“I do.” He looked up at me.
"Then get the car ready," I urged.
He then stood up leisurely.
-
He Ya's family home is in another city.
It's not far from Xinjing City.
It takes about three hours to get there by car.
There is no airport in that area, so this is the only mode of transportation.
On the way, I asked about the situation in Hejia Village in detail.
Huo Yubai told me that although Hejia Village is a village, it is actually quite large and unlike ordinary rural villages, it is not poor. The village has been developed very well in recent years, and the living conditions of almost every household have changed.
The problem is that family values are very strong in this area, and many outdated ideas are deeply ingrained and difficult to change.
He Ya was the only college student to pass the exam that year. Although she was not taken seriously at first because she was a girl, college students were rare, and He Ya's family was really poor, so the whole family paid for her to complete her four years of college.
After that, her family kept urging He Ya to find a man to marry as soon as possible, but they required that the man's status and position could not be low, and that she could not marry just anyone.
Back in school, He Ya had a boyfriend she was deeply in love with, but her family found out and forced them to break up.
