To My Dear Mr. Huo

This is a somewhat remote villa in Rongcheng. The three-and-a-half-story villa is not particularly big, but it has an elegant environment and is very quiet.

The distance between residents is also relatively far, and privacy is very good.

In the garden outside, there is a small white carved table. Huo Jinyao sat on the wicker chair next to him and looked at Qi Xiwei who was pouring juice into his cup.

"I'm sorry. I gave up coffee when I was pregnant. I only have juice at home."

"It's okay. I'm not here for a drink."

Huo Jinyao looked at her and found that her face was much paler than he had seen two days ago.

"Are you okay? I see you don't look well."

"No." Qi Xiwei filled up the juice, took back her hand, and looked at Huo Jinyao: "It's normal. Because she is pregnant, there will be some changes."

Huo Jinyao looked at Qi Xiwei, he didn't quite believe what she said.

"Is it really not related to the original shot?"

Qi Xiwei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "What are you thinking? Of course not."

She picked up the juice in front of her and took a sip. Her voice was very soft: "It's been so long, I have forgotten it. It's hard for you to remember it."

"How could you not remember? Of course I will."

Huo Jinyao's eyes showed a hint of guilt and pity.

In his life, the only people he felt guilty about were his brother and sister, and Qi Xiwei.

Huo Jinyao previously studied at Yale. There are many Chinese in their school, but Qi Xiwei is not only Chinese, but also from Rongcheng.

By chance, Huo Jinyao and Qi Xiwei met. Because both of them are Chinese and from Rongcheng.

Qi Xiwei and Huo Jinyao got closer.

Huo Jinyao is a very studious and hard-working person. He puts all his energy into his studies.

However, Qi Xiwei is also very capable, and she can be considered one of the few girls who can follow his ideas in both official business and academic studies.

This made Huo Jinyao, who originally only wanted to keep a distance from Qi Xiwei, appreciate Qi Xiwei a little more.

After going back and forth, the relationship between the two people got a lot better.

Some classmates who knew the relationship between the two even thought that Huo Jinyao and Qi Xiwei were lovers.

But only Huo Jinyao and Qi Xiwei knew that they were not lovers. They are just boyfriend and girlfriend who have a very good relationship.

On the surface, Qi Xiwei looks weak. But his heart is quite firm.

She has a similar experience to Huo Jinyao. She comes from a scholarly family. My mother comes from a wealthy family and is a professor at Z University, and my father is the president of a bank.

Growing up in such an environment, her abilities are naturally very strong.

But like Huo Jinyao, she also has an unfortunate past. Her mother, a professor, is full of literary temperament. It just so happens that her father is the vice president of the bank.

My father is busy at work. The focus on profit and loss and one's own future is much higher than that of family.

Her mother, a professor, has always supported her father's work wholeheartedly. But she didn't expect that such support and excessive trust would indulge her father.

Qi Xiwei's father later made a mistake that all men in the world would make and fell in love with another woman. That woman is still his secretary.

After Qi Xiwei's mother found out about this, she made a fuss to no avail. He said he wanted a divorce very calmly. However, Qi's father was facing a promotion at that time, and he did not want to cause such a scandal and was unwilling to divorce.

Qi's mother didn't want to be patient. After collecting all the evidence of Qi's father's affair, she planned to negotiate with Qi's father. Unexpectedly, she had a car accident halfway.

He was already dead when he was sent to the hospital. Qi Xiwei was only a twelve-year-old girl at that time.

Her mother left suddenly, and her father took the secretary home not long after and became her stepmother.

Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Her father, who once loved her in every possible way, gradually drifted away from her after her stepmother came into the family. After her brother was born, her status plummeted.

It was also because of this relationship that Qi Xiwei went to the United States to study alone at a young age.

After knowing her experience, Huo Jinyao felt sympathy for her.

Although his parents are not from later generations, they are not much different from those from later generations. More importantly, the turning point in their lives seems to be at the age of twelve.

He has no love for Qi Xiwei between a man and a woman, but he has a feeling of sympathy and sympathy that goes beyond a boyfriend and girlfriend.

The same goes for Qi Xiwei. Unlike Huo Jinyao, she has been thinking of ways to avenge her mother.

For so many years, she always suspected that her mother's death was not innocent. She didn't believe it was such a coincidence that a car accident happened just when her mother was planning to divorce her father?

The shameful thing is that she was too young back then and there was nothing she could do. When she grew up, she stayed away from Rongcheng.

After meeting Huo Jinyao, and after the two of them had more and more contact, one day, she couldn't help but tell Huo Jinyao about her affairs.

Huo Jinyao's abilities were superior to hers, and she believed he was capable of finding out.

Sure enough, Huo Jinyao quickly found out for her that her stepmother, her secretary back then, had tampered with the car.

Qi Xiwei sent her to prison unceremoniously and at the same time made a fuss about the matter. Her father was jointly and severally liable.

In the end, Qi's father lost his job and his stepmother went to jail. After solving these problems, Qi Xiwei returned to Yale to continue her studies.

Huo Jinyao helping Qi Xiwei was just a simple task, he thought it was a casual matter. But Qi Xiwei decided that she owed him once.

Huo Jinyao was favored by many girls in school. Qi Xiwei was rumored to be his girlfriend, but the person involved didn't come forward to confirm it, so those girls thought they still had a chance.

Qi Xiwei felt that she owed Huo Jinyao this time, so she took the initiative to take the responsibility of blocking those peach blossoms for Huo Jinyao.

Her appearance is very popular among European and American people, and she has many suitors. Similarly, she also used Huo Jinyao to fend off those suitors.

But such a mutually beneficial event was not enough to make Qi Xiwei feel that Huo Jinyao had helped her. She had always wanted to repay Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao always knew what she was thinking, but he never took it to heart.

The Huo family has a lot of resources, and helping Qi Xiwei solve this problem is a matter of minutes. But he didn't expect Qi Xiwei to be so serious, and that he really seized the opportunity.

That Christmas, two people in a foreign land were invited by a classmate to attend that classmate's party together.

Before leaving, Huo Jinyao went to pick up Qi Xiwei, and then the two of them planned to buy a gift for the classmate together.

When two people went to buy gifts, a terrorist attack occurred on that street, that famous local shopping street.

Everything happened in an instant, so fast that people were caught off guard, and there was no way to guard against it.

There were bursts of gunfire. Huo Jinyao looked at the people in the distance who were shooting wildly with guns. When he was still thinking about protecting Qi Xiwei and taking her into the nearest store to take shelter, Qi Xiwei suddenly widened his eyes. Eyes darted towards him.

"careful."

Qi Xiwei's movements were too fast. She successfully knocked Huo Jinyao down. At the same time, she made a muffled sound.

Behind Huo Jinyao, there was another car. Two people got out of it and were about to shoot, but Qi Xiwei happened to see it.

"Xiwei?"

The gunfire continued, but Huo Jinyao couldn't pay attention. He didn't expect that Qi Xiwei would choose to repay him in this way.

In fact, he is not easy to get close to. Even though he had known Qi Xiwei for so long, and the two of them were even superficially lovers, he just admired her more.

In terms of real closeness, there is no such thing.

But Qi Xiwei made such a choice at such a time.

Qi Xiwei was shot in the lower back and was bleeding profusely. Huo Jinyao didn't know where her injury was, and the constant gunshots outside made it impossible for him to even send Qi Xiwei to see a doctor.

He carried Qi Xiwei into the nearest store. Looking at Qi Xiwei's pale face, he felt a rare look of guilt.

The bullet passed through Qi Xiwei's uterus. When she was sent to the hospital, she was in shock.

After finally rescuing her, the doctor told Huo Jinyao that Qi Xiwei's uterus had been punctured by a bullet. Although she had been rescued, it might have a certain impact on Qi Xiwei's later pregnancy.

The doctor did not say how specific the impact would be, as everyone's physique is different. It also depends on the subsequent recovery.

The doctor said it more conservatively. In fact, even if foreign doctors don't know much about China, they can still understand that Chinese men have their own obsessions when it comes to children.

This time, it was Huo Jinyao's turn to blame himself.

He didn't expect that Qi Xiwei would return his favor in this way. Now, it was Huo Jinyao who owed him money.

He felt that he owed Qi Xiwei, and after she was discharged from the hospital, he told Qi Xiwei that he wanted to become a real boyfriend and girlfriend with her.

"Jin Yao, stop making trouble. You don't love me at all. You just sympathize with me."

"It's not sympathy." Not only sympathy, but also appreciation, guilt, and other things.

Of course, Huo Jinyao himself knew that there was indeed no love in these relationships.

"Jin Yao, then look into my eyes and tell me that you love me."

Huo Jinyao looked into her eyes and said, "I love you", I really couldn't say them out.

He knew, and she knew too, that there was no love between a man and a woman between the two of them.

But even so, Huo Jinyao's guilt could not be eliminated for a while. He defines himself as Qi Xiwei's boyfriend.

In all aspects of life, I try my best to take care of her.

Qi Xiwei knew his mood and did not stop him from trying to reduce his guilt.

It was only when Huo Jinyao proposed to let her go home and take her to meet her parents when she graduated. Qi Xiwei was frightened.

Not only did Huo Jinyao not love her, she also didn't love Huo Jinyao. There was no way she would let Huo Jinyao take her home.

They both know that their feelings for each other are less than lovers and more than friendship. But it's far from the point where we can spend a lifetime together.

So Qi Xiwei escaped. She left a letter for Huo Jinyao and left. She told Huo Jinyao that if he was really good for her, he should not go to her or contact her again.

They just stay well with each other, which is the best outcome.

This was her request. Although Huo Jinyao did not agree with Qi Xiwei's choice, he really did as she wished and never contacted her again.

If this is what she wants, then he is willing to make it happen.

Nearly eight years passed in a flash, and he never thought that the two of them would meet again.

"Actually, you don't need to remember." Qi Xiwei's words made Huo Jinyao take back his fugue.

The Qi Xiwei in front of her looked the same as she did eight years ago, except that her face was a little pale.

"I think that's good because it means we're even."

How to make it even? All he did for her was a small favor. But what she did for him was to save his life.

Huo Jinyao didn't want to argue with her: "If you want to say that, then I owe you again this time."

"Jin Yao, you really shouldn't think like that." Qi Xiwei yawned as she spoke, her face full of sleepiness: "Since I became pregnant, I have become very lethargic and not in good spirits. I really don't have the ability to That case was finished. And I just wanted to let you do it when I returned to China. I know your dream, and I know you want Tianyu Group to go further. If a mistake like that happened in the middle, it is still my fault. So you really Stop talking about it."

Huo Jinyao did not say thank you anymore, but looked at Qi Xiwei with an expression of guilt, gratitude, and pity.

"How is your health? Why do I seem to think your condition is particularly bad?"

"No, it's just that I feel sleepier than the average person."

"You said last time that you had a fight with your husband. Did he know you were pregnant? If he knew, why didn't he take care of you?"

"Now that we've broken up, there's no need for him to take care of me."

This is the second time she has used the word breakup instead of divorce. Huo Jinyao thought about the difference between breakup and divorce.

"Even if we break up, but you are pregnant now, he should take care of you no matter what."

"Don't come." Qi Xiwei's expression was calm. Speaking of that person, there was a flash of disgust in her expression: "If he doesn't come, I'll be more comfortable. If he comes, I'm afraid I'll be even more uncomfortable."

"Xiwei, that person is not good to you?"

"Can we not talk about him?" Qi Xiwei changed the subject: "I have already asked the lawyer, because this case involves a huge amount of money. And in addition, this case also involves a foreign company, I believe that your cousin and Su Peizhen will definitely give a harsher sentence. If you tell the lawyer then, you will definitely make them stay in jail longer."

"Xiwei, don't worry about these things. Anyway, I really thank you this time."

"Jin Yao, look at you, you are still so polite to me. Do you think I am not your friend in your heart?"

"Of course it counts."

"Since we are friends, there is no need to talk about those things." When Qi Xiwei spoke, she yawned again: "Sorry, I may not be able to entertain you. I seem to be sleepy again. I need to go to sleep for a while."

"Okay. You go and rest first."

Huo Jinyao stood up and planned to say goodbye. Since they are friends, there is no need to keep saying those words of thanks, just keep them in your heart.

"I know there are some things you don't want to tell me, but if there is anything you need help with, you must ask."

"Don't worry. I will do it." Qi Xiwei stood up, but her head felt dizzy and she fell to the side as if she had lost all strength.

Huo Jinyao quickly supported her: "Xiwei, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Qi Xiwei shook her head. She didn't tell Huo Jinyao that her condition was indeed not good.

It was too hard for her to carry this child. Her physical condition did not allow her to carry this child at all. But she still insisted on having her own way.

Now, she has tasted the bitter pill, and there is no way to tell anyone about this process.

"I'll take you back to your room to rest."

"Okay, please."

When Qi Xiwei spoke, her face looked a little pale. Huo Jinyao wanted to ask, but he knew that Qi Xiwei would not tell the truth. I decided to stay and let Yang Wenchang check it out.

If possible, he would do his best to help Qi Xiwei.

………………

Su Qingsang was vaccinated by Huo Jinyao and knew that Xiang Caiping might come to find her. So when Xiang Caiping appeared in front of her, she was not surprised at all.

"Aunt?"

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang with a very complicated expression.

Since she had a falling out with Su Peizhen last time, she forced herself not to care about Su Peizhen or to care about anything about Su Peizhen.

After that, Su Peizhen seemed to disappear. When she went to the company, her former subordinate told her that Su Peizhen had not been here for a long time.

She knew that if Su Pei was really proud, he would never have anything to do with her again if he fell out with her.

He had the intention to call Su Peizhen, but he didn't want to face it first. She believed that she was as sincere to Su Peizhen as Su Qingsang.

But Su Peizhen didn't appreciate it, not only that he didn't appreciate it. Still thinking about returning to the Su family and Li Qianxue.

Who is Li Qianxue? That was the culprit who stole her man and left her alone for half her life.

She couldn't forgive Li Qianxue, let alone accept that her daughter only wanted to be with Li Qianxue.

She forced herself to harden her heart and stop contacting Su Peizhen. Even if she really couldn't bear it, she still had to wait for Su Peizhen to bow his head and admit his mistake.

But he didn't expect that Xiang Caiping didn't wait for Su Peizhen to bow his head, and didn't wait for Su Peizhen to come back and admit his mistake.

She waited for the police.

When she knew that Su Peizhen had been arrested for stealing trade secrets, and when she knew that the trade secrets Su Peizhen stole were related to Tianyu Group, she could probably guess that Su Peizhen must have done something to Su Qingsang.

And he must have done something very serious, something that could even be said to seriously hurt Su Qingsang.

With the little kindness Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had towards her, even if Su Peizhen really did something, if it was just a small matter, I believe Su Qingsang would not care about it.

To be able to cause trouble and be arrested only shows that it is a very serious matter.

She could guess all these things, so she didn't think about coming to Su Qingsang at first, but found a lawyer first.

But after she asked lawyer Su Peizhen clearly about the possible consequences, she struggled at home for two days and finally couldn't help but come to Su Qingsang.

"Auntie?" Su Qingsang looked at the time. There were still about ten minutes before she got off work.

"Wait for a moment while I pack my things."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll wait for you."

Xiang Caiping looked a little embarrassed. Su Qingsang saw it, but could only force herself to pretend that she couldn't see it.

One update, five thousand words. One more chapter. I'm going to write now. Try to finish it before 12 o'clock. If you say make up for it, make up for it. Yue Ma never breaks her promise.

PS: First, Qi Xiwei is not a bad supporting actress. She and the male protagonist have a true, pure friendship.

Second, a relative said that Mr. Huo tolerated Huo Yifan's dealings with Huo Jinyao, but could not tolerate Huo Jinyao's dealings with Huo Yifan. There is an essential difference here. What the elders want is family harmony, and some of Huo Yifan's small actions are just within the family. But if Huo Jinyao makes the matter bigger, it will affect the reputation of Tianyu Group and the Huo family. Generally speaking, this is what the elders think. You can make trouble as much as you want behind closed doors, but outside this door you are a family that loves each other. Therefore, it is not that Mr. Huo is partial. nonexistent.

Third, all male and female supporting characters are cannon fodder in the end. These are all trials. As for you, the male and female protagonists are the Holy Mother. I want to say that not everything in this world is done for pleasure. Everyone has their own responsibilities and concerns. Those who have scruples and know how to take their own responsibilities are truly mature people. Right?

Finally, I wish everyone a happy reading. Continued in the next chapter.
