“I want to eat ice cream,” Xing Jiuan replied when she heard Su Jiu’s voice.
She took a box of snacks and no one criticized her.
They only cooked some noodles, and after eating, they wanted to say something to Xing Jiuan. Xing Jiuan said that she had a friend over who was resting and that she wanted to chat with Mu Qing.
The three of them agreed.
They did not ask her what kind of friend she was. After all, no one of the opposite sex had ever been able to rest in Xing Jiuan’s guest room.
“There’s something I don’t quite understand,” Xing Jiuan said. “Is Huo Chulan not very popular in the wealthy circle?”
“She’s quite unwelcomed,” Lin Feng replied.
“How do you know?” Su Jiu raised his eyebrows.
“In the past, I was friends with the second son of the Huo family. He’s Huo Chulan’s second brother in name. His impression of Huo Chulan seemed to be quite bad. Furthermore, Huo Chulan had once gone to visit him on set, but he was also quite cold and did not pay much attention to her.
“Moreover, I know a few people. They don’t seem to have a good impression of Huo Chulan.”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Qing asked.
Xing Jiuan pondered for a while before replying to Mu Qing, “No, it’s just a little strange.”
…
In the suburbs.
Jiu Chi sat in the courtyard. Li Ting had already left. It was empty, and he was the only one around.
He leaned back and looked up at the sky.
The sunlight was a little blinding.
“Jiuan…”
His phone screen lit up again. He picked it up and took a look. It was still a call from Huo Chulan.
Despite knowing that Huo Chulan was already very anxious, he was not anxious. He casually placed his phone aside.
The screen quickly darkened again, and Jiu Chi did not look at it.
The air in the suburbs was very good. The wind was a little strong, but it did not feel cold.
Jiu Chi narrowed his eyes. His damaged eye suddenly hurt.
He reached out and touched the corner of his eye. It had been a long time since he had lost this eye, but it still hurt occasionally.
This pair of eyes that had been praised by many people in the past, if not for the fact that they still had some use, he really would have wanted to gouge them out back then.
But no, he still had to keep them. He wanted to see her more.
He did not dare to ask for forgiveness for his mistakes, but he still wanted to get closer…
…
Huo Chulan did not manage to get through to him again and was on the verge of breaking down.
Her parents had already been arrested and sent to prison. She did not know how long their sentence would be, nor was she interested. She did not have any feelings for her biological parents, nor did she care much about them.
What she was most anxious about now was why she couldn’t get through to that person’s phone.
Why couldn’t she get through?
However, before that person left, he had said that he might not appear for a period of time and would not be able to contact her. Even if she did not receive a response these past few days, she did not think too much about it. She only felt that this person probably had no way of replying to her.
That person treated her so well, so he definitely wouldn’t lie to her.
Huo Chulan trusted him very much.
Even if his appearance terrified her, she still felt that he was her last pillar of support.
Moreover, when he returned, everything about her would change. Her life would return to normal.
She would take revenge.
However, she did not dare to go out much now. She knew that there must be many people monitoring her movements. Even if they did not control her, it still made her a little afraid.
She wanted to call the police, but she was afraid that she would walk right into their trap. Therefore, she could only endure it and wait for the day the call could be connected.
When that person returned, she would make these people pay.
