Chapter 174 What happened to him?
Chapter 174 What's wrong with him?
I chuckled coldly: "I've already made myself very clear; it was him who relentlessly pestered me."
Gu Yun glanced at me but said nothing more.
He and I went back to the restaurant.
The food is ready.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu are excellent cooks. I've eaten their cooking before when I visited their home.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingyuan's cooking skills are also excellent.
"Waiting for one more person." I walked over.
"Xia Zhe hasn't arrived yet." My mother looked at the table full of dishes.
Shen Xingyuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly: "When will he arrive?"
I smiled and said, "It'll be soon. He's gone to deal with Gu Haoran for me."
The people at the table were all looking at me with surprise.
Mr. Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Gu Haoran is not Gu Yunwei's..."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "President Mu, there's no need to worry. I also did my part in sending Gu Haoran to prison."
"Oh." Mr. Mu nodded meaningfully, "It seems you've been working together quite well."
"Of course," Gu Yun replied with a smile.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
The aunt went to open the door.
A few minutes later.
Xia Zhe braved the wind and snow to come in, and he still carried a chill with him.
He looked at me and said, "I saw President Huo faint."
"He fainted?" Mu Xi asked in surprise. "Was anyone with him?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at me.
Xia Zhe glanced at me: "Huo Fei is here."
"What's there to worry about when someone's around?" I said with a stern face. "Ignore him."
The words have not yet fallen.
The doorbell rings.
The aunt opened the door.
Huo Fei said anxiously, "Professor Shen, could you please go out and try to persuade him?"
“Uncle Huo Fei, I didn’t ask him to do that.” I refused.
“I know you’re angry with him for lying to you, but now lives are at stake,” Huo Fei said urgently.
I frowned deeply: "Uncle Huo Fei, I..."
thump!
Huo Fei knelt down before me.
Everyone was stunned.
"Uncle Huo Fei, what are you doing?!" I grabbed his arm, trying to get him to stand up.
With red eyes, Huo Fei said, "Shen Yan, before I met Huo Yubai, I was nothing but a piece of trash. I had nothing and was nobody. The Huo family just threw him at me like a rag, which meant they abandoned him. Back then, I was beaten and covered in injuries. He was the one who took me to find a doctor and raise money. I owe everything I have today to him. He has had a tough time. I beg you, please talk to him, okay? I'll kowtow to you."
"No!" Shen Xingyuan and Uncle Mu both stopped him.
I had no choice: "Okay, I'll try to persuade him, but this is the only time. If he doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do."
"Okay." Huo Fei cried tears of joy.
I sighed.
Mu Xi told me to put on my coat and then came out with me.
The snow outside is heavy.
Huo Yubai stood at the doorway, leaning against the wall.
He was accompanied by five or six bodyguards.
When he saw me, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
In the freezing cold, his handsome and noble face was pale, and he wore a black suit and overcoat, a striking contrast between black and white.
"Huo Yubai, stop playing the victim." I looked at him with displeasure: "Who are you putting on this act for?"
“I didn’t.” He shook his head. “Yan Yan, I just want you to forgive me, but I know I don’t deserve it.”
"Now that you know, don't bother me anymore." I looked at his deep, gentle eyes, my mind filled with memories of the past.
"It's my own fault." He said self-deprecatingly, "Yan Yan, it's understandable that you hate and resent me. I know I was just asking for trouble by coming to see you, and I can't forgive myself. I just..."
“Huo Yubai.” I interrupted him, “I have loved and hated, but when I found out that Huo Yushen was you in disguise, at that moment, all my feelings suddenly disappeared.”
His eyes were filled with tears.
“I have no feelings for you anymore.” I sighed. “Is this alright? If you still love me, don’t make things difficult for me. You know what I hate the most. Maybe this way, your image in my heart won’t be so bad.”
He lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Okay, I promise you, I won't bother you anymore, but can you promise me one last thing?"
"Go on." I want to finish this quickly.
"Give me a hug, okay?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
I shook my head: "No good."
The light in his eyes went out completely.
"Goodbye, you can go now." I looked at him calmly.
He took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm going."
After saying that, he turned around.
After taking two steps, his body fell forward.
The bodyguard reacted quickly and saved him.
Huo Fei ran over.
"He has a fever, just take him to the hospital." I said calmly.
Huo Fei turned and glanced at me, his eyes filled with resentment, but he didn't say anything. He simply told the bodyguards to lift Huo Yubai into the car and then leave.
The wheels left two deep tracks in the snow.
Mu Xi held my hand, "Yan Yan, if you're worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about." I turned and walked towards the villa. "Let's go, or the food will get cold."
Mu Xi and Gu Yun exchanged a glance, their expressions both unreadable.
Return to the villa.
Everyone returned to the dining table.
Shen Xingyuan raised his glass and said some polite words.
I wasn't in the mood, so I drank a little with everyone and then went back to my room.
I do not know how long it has been.
Mu Xi came in.
She was carrying a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
“My parents have already gone home, and Gu Yunwei and Xia Zhe have also gone home. Your mother has taken her medicine and gone to sleep.” Mu Xi sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Xixi, thank you." I looked up.
"Why are you saying all this? Want a drink?" she asked, shaking the bottle.
I nodded.
She corked the glass and poured two glasses of wine.
We took our wine glasses and went out onto the balcony.
She glanced at her watch: "One minute left."
At the foot of the mountain, lights shone brightly, illuminating countless homes.
“10、9、8……3、2、1！“慕兮和我碰了一下杯子：”新年快乐，妍妍。“
"Happy New Year." I said, looking at her.
Then, fireworks suddenly lit up the sky not far away.
Fireworks explode.
Beautiful.
Colorful light shone on Mu Xi and my faces, reflecting our smiles.
"So beautiful!" Mu Xi exclaimed. "Whose fireworks are these? They're so grand and gorgeous!"
I was also surprised: "Yes, these fireworks are even more dazzling than some large-scale events."
Moreover, our location appears to be an excellent vantage point.
I took a sip of wine, my eyes dimming.
It can't be him.
As the fireworks ended, a swarm of drones suddenly took to the night sky.
They quickly formed a gesture that read: "I'm sorry, I love you."
I was stunned.
Mu Xi was shocked: "Was this arranged by Huo Yubai?"
Before I could even react, my phone rang.
I turned around to answer the phone.
The doctor's anxious voice came through the phone: "Professor Shen, Mr. Huo's condition is extremely critical. I heard you've been his attending physician. Would you like to come and take a look?"
I grabbed my phone: "What happened to him?"
