He had not even said that he was leaving when Huo Yunque had already given the order to leave. He opened his mouth and met Huo Yunque’s eyes. He knew that there was no turning back now.
“Alright then, Yaoyao, have a good rest. I’ll be leaving first.”
Song Yaoyao smiled. “Goodbye, Uncle Hou.”
She propped her hands on the sofa and watched Huo Yunque and Elder Hou walk out one after the other.
Outside, Elder Hou sighed and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”
“It’s not a big deal.”
The pace of spring was very slow, and the trees in the courtyard had just started to sprout. The blue sky was clear and cloudless. It was good weather for an outing.
Huo Yunque played with the prayer beads. “I won’t stop her if she’s willing to do charity. But this money…” He curled his lips and his eyes were cold. “Every payment must be transparent no matter where it is used. Also, sign her name.”
She was young and simple-minded and did not ask for anything in return.
But Huo Yunque was different. He was a businessman, and his girl deserved the best in the world.
This applied to everything…
Elder Hou rubbed his head and looked up at the clear and clean sky.
Huo Yunque stood there quietly, like a painting. The wind blew his clothes slightly and his short hair was slightly messy, giving him a youthful look.
Of course, this was to describe his temperament, not his age. However, this person’s ability could no longer be measured by his age. Those who were the same age as him might have just come into contact with family affairs, but he was already in power and was on equal footing with the big shots in his social circle.
“Of course, I will take care of this. There will be a meeting later. If you have time, you can come and listen in.”
Hearing this, Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows. “There’s no need for that. Anyway, I will know whether or not someone is playing tricks.”
Elder Hou was silent for a moment. He had to admit that what Huo Yunque said was the truth.
He waved his hand and sped up. “Let’s go, you don’t have to see me off!”
This kid was either a man of few words, or when he opened his mouth, he definitely made people lose ten years of their lives.
For the time being, he did not want to die! He still wanted to live to see the beauty of this world, as well as…
Song Yaoyao, who he had placed high hopes on, and how far she would go in the end.
…
Elder Hou walked into the mansion alone.
Lady Celia quickly came up to him. When her gaze fell upon the emptiness behind Elder Hou, her pupils constricted.
She asked sorrowfully, “Where’s the doctor? The doctor!”
Elder Hou said gently and politely, “She promised to help Miss Alice, but she can only come tomorrow.”
“Oh, damn it!”
The gentle and elegant lady could not hold it in anymore. She covered her face. Despair was like a thick fog that could not be swept away, firmly enveloping her within.
“But my Alice can’t hold on any longer! Why can’t she come today?!”
“Alright, my dear, calm down.”
Count Lancaster heard the commotion and quickly walked over to pull Lady Celia into his embrace. He gently stroked her back to comfort her while lowering his head to kiss her forehead. “Mr. Hou, could it be that the doctor has something he can’t say? Or…” he narrowed his eyes, his aura was imposing, “Or perhaps, he’s not satisfied with the price we offered?”
“Of course not.”
Elder Hou stood up straight. His expression did not change in the face of Count Lancaster’s aggressive gaze.
“She’s injured. She was affected by the accident last night.”
The image of the young girl’s healthy, ruddy skin and lively eyes flashed through his mind as he answered calmly..
