Jing Yu took the gift from Huo Heng and opened it. It was a diamond bracelet.
“You have good taste.”
Huo Heng had a hand in his pocket as he glanced at Jing Yu sideways. “Do you know why I gave you a gift?”
Jing Yu smirked. “Do you want me to stop coming to Yan City to find your mother?”
Jing Yu was Huo Yuan’s capable assistant. She was a typical career woman. Although she was about the same age as Huo Heng, she never fawned over him like other women.
Huo Yuan hadn’t been in good health recently, so Jing Yu had handled a lot of things for him.
Huo Yuan saw that Jing Yu was capable in handling matters, so he handed her an important task.
He asked her to come to Yan City and convince Jian Yi to return to Harbor City with him.
Huo Yuan had long wanted to get back together with Jian Yi after he divorced Ye Shuangshuang.
Jian Yi and Huo Yuan were childhood sweethearts. Their relationship was deep, but they were too domineering and refused to take a step back when they met with problems.
Over time, Huo Yuan was moved by the understanding and dedicated Ye Shuangshuang.
At the time of the divorce, he had already lived with Jian Yi for a long time. In addition, Jian Yi was sick and had a bad temper. She insisted on getting a divorce and in a fit of anger, he agreed to the divorce.
After marrying Ye Shuangshuang, he tried to hypnotize himself and forget about Jian Yi.
He thought it had worked.
However, after he got remarried, he still only had her in his heart.
Huo Yuan instructed Jing Yu to bring Jian Yi to Harbor City for him.
Jing Yu had run back and forth between Harbor City and Yan City for half a year, but Jian Yi did not relent at all.
Every time Jing Yu came, Jian Yi would welcome her as if she was welcoming her daughter.
But her expression changed when Huo Yuan was mentioned.
Jian Yi now had her own career in Yan City and had a group of good friends, so she was living very comfortably.
Jing Yu looked at Huo Heng. “They’re your parents. Don’t you want them to get remarried?”
Huo Heng raised his eyebrows. “Do you think my mother has ever changed her mind?”
Jing Yu was speechless.
“Heng’er, you’re back.” Jian Yi had just finished her skin care with several ladies when she heard that Huo Heng had returned. She rushed back in a hurry.
Jian Yi had taken good care of herself and looked to be in her thirties.
“Mom.”
Jian Yi walked to the living room with a smile. When she saw Jing Yu, she sighed slightly. “Xiaoyu, go back and tell your President Huo that I won’t graze on the same pasture again. Besides, after he got together with that vixen, Ye Shuangshuang, I really despised him! To be honest, if I wanted to find a man, young hunks would flock to me!”
Huo Heng was speechless.
Jing Yu was speechless.
“You two have a chat. I’ll go back to my room and change first.”
Jing Yu looked at Jian Yi’s slender back and sighed. “It seems like your mom really doesn’t like your dad anymore.”
Although Huo Yuan was middle-aged, he was tall and hadn’t gained any weight, so he was still handsome and elegant.
However, feelings could not be forced. Looking at Jian Yi’s attitude, she probably would not turn back anymore.
Huo Heng did not have time to worry about his mother’s love life. She lived a much more interesting life than him.
Jian Yi went to her room to change into loungewear. She took her phone and browsed through her social media as she walked downstairs.
Suddenly, she saw Qiu Zhi’s post.
Qiu Zhi and Xia Zhenyuan’s farm had become famous in Yan City. As long as Jian Yi was free, she would go to the farm to eat and play cards with her friends.
That was why she had Qiu Zhi’s WeChat as well.
Qiu Zhi sent a photo of the family sitting down for dinner.
Jian Yi immediately saw Xia Cha.
The young girl had completely grown up. There was a smile on her lips and her facial features were elegant like a blooming rose. She was unbelievably beautiful.
Jian Yi thought of the brat downstairs. She kept her phone and went downstairs.
“Heng’er, Mom wants to eat the fresh fruits of your Uncle Xia’s family. Since you’re back, let’s drive to their house!”
Huo Heng replied, “We can call for delivery.”
“It won’t take too long to drive there, right?” Jian Yi smiled at Huo Heng. “Could it be that you haven’t forgotten about Cha Cha?”
“Okay, I’ll go.”
Jing Yu watched as Huo Heng went out with his car keys. She walked toward him. “You’re going to pick fresh fruits?”
Huo Heng nodded.
“Since I can’t complete my mission here, why don’t I go to the farm with you?”
Huo Heng wanted to communicate with Jing Yu about work, so he had no objections.
…
When Huo Heng and Jing Yu arrived at Wenfeng County, Qiu Zhi was cooking.
When Xia Lan and Xia Xing saw Huo Heng coming over with a beautiful woman with a strong aura, they were stunned for a moment.
Especially Xia Xing. Her gaze on Huo Heng was a little unnatural.
No one knew her secret.
She used to have a crush on Huo Heng.
Of course, that was all in the past.
She had even thought of snatching Huo Heng from Xia Cha.
However, that thought only flashed through her mind.
After all, no matter how good a man was, he could not compare to her sisterly relationship with Xia Cha for 20 years.
She did not want to make her parents sad because of a man.
Later, she tried to turn her attention away, and after some time, she got over it.
Now that she saw Huo Heng, she wouldn’t be as shy, nervous, or happy as before.
However, seeing that he had another woman beside him, Xia Xing was still angry and indignant for Xia Cha!
“Young Master Huo, why are you here?” Xia Lan was the first to react.
“I came to pick some fresh fruits for my mother.”
Xia Lan knew that Huo Heng and Xia Cha were no longer together. It was not appropriate for her to interfere in matters of the heart, even as her sister.
From Xia Cha’s tone, they had broken up peacefully.
Xia Lan nodded. “I’ll bring you to the orchard!”
“Thank you.”
…
In the orchard.
Xia Cha helped Xia Zhenyuan pick fruits. Xia Zhenyuan did not want to let Xia Cha come, but Xia Cha refused to stay at home and insisted on following him.
Ah Ning came later.
After Ah Ning arrived in Wenfeng County, he got an inspiration from the orchard and wrote a song on his phone.
He asked Xia Cha for her opinion on it.
Whenever Xia Cha looked at Ah Ning, she would think of her past self.
She became more patient with him because of this.
They were holding an apple in each of their hands, in a discussion as they sat on a grassy slope.
When Huo Heng and Jing Yu arrived, that was all they saw.
Their heads were almost touching each other, with earphones in their ears. They were discussing something, and Xia Cha’s side profile looked especially serious.
Seeing Huo Heng looking at Xia Cha, Xia Lan coughed softly.
Seeming to have sensed something, Xia Cha and Ah Ning looked up ahead.
Seeing Huo Heng behind Xia Lan, Xia Cha’s thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her gaze moved to the woman beside Huo Heng.
She was wearing a red shirt and black suit pants. She had a low ponytail and looked smart, fashionable, and capable.
Xia Cha was about to look away when she saw the diamond bracelet on the woman’s wrist.
