Chapter 156 I'm not unhappy, I just feel it's too late
Ling Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at the gold chain.
The lighting in the carriage was dim, making the bloodstone appear black and red, and the clear jade was also stained with black.
It seems to tell people that the road to power is full of blood, tears, and turmoil.
Ling Zhao looked at Huo Yixiu, not understanding what he meant by giving her the bracelet.
Was it a sudden thought to embellish Mrs. Huo's noble status, or was it compensation for her not being able to enter Ziqing Garden?
Huo Yixiu pinched her slender wrist with one hand and spun the gold chain in circles with the other, as if to pass the time.
"Don't you like receiving gifts? Are you unhappy when I give you a gold chain?"
Ling Zhao's eyebrows twitched slightly, remembering that she had scolded him for never being attentive and never accepting the gifts he had personally chosen.
His collar was a little crooked, and the fine marks on his neck from the measuring tape were faintly visible. Ling Zhao pursed his lips, lowered his eyes again, his shoulders slumped slightly, and stopped his play with his other hand.
I'm not unhappy, I just feel that it's too late.
The car arrived at the hotel booked by Mrs. Li.
Huo Yixiu said that the reason why Mrs. Xu knew that Mrs. Li was going to treat everyone was because the hotel leaked the news.
But this is not important. Huo Yixiu persuaded his mother not to attend the meeting, so Mrs. Xu's little trick was useless and what she expected would not happen.
Madam Li sent someone to meet them at the hotel entrance. Huo Yixiu and Ling Zhao followed behind them and took the special elevator to the box.
The box was large, with simple and elegant interior decoration. A tea artist was making tea. Mrs. Li was sitting opposite the tea artist, talking to him with great interest.
The Li family's secretary came in to ask for instructions, and Mrs. Li turned around and greeted them: "Come on."
She glanced behind the two of them, then looked at Huo Yixiu, and asked doubtfully, "Where is Mrs. Huo?"
Huo Yixiu said: "My mother booked a tour group last month and is completely focused on the scenery in Xinjiang. Zhao Zhao and I will just come to the madam's banquet."
Mrs. Li knew what was going on and smiled faintly, "Tourism in Xinjiang is very popular this year. Nowadays, film and television dramas have a great impact on the tourism industry. I wish the South City Film and Television City could produce a film and television drama that is useful for promoting South City. The scenery in our South City is also very beautiful."
She pointed to the seat next to her and called the couple, "There's still some time before the meal starts, come over and have a cup of tea."
Huo Yixiu moved the chair away, letting Ling Zhao sit next to Madam Li, and he sat next to her.
"Nancheng has beautiful scenery and is a famous historical city with attractions everywhere. It is a tourist hotspot at any time of the year, not to mention the holidays when the roads are jammed and you can't even go out. If they continue to promote it, I'm afraid you can only travel late at night."
"I told Zhao Zhao that I would not travel this year. I would just hang out at a farm in the countryside and not join in the fun."
Ling Zhao glanced at him and realized that he was lying with his eyes open.
When did he take her out for a trip?
They went to Huaicheng for their wedding anniversary, and Yu Yang arranged a B&B for them. And he only appeared briefly to bully her.
Ling Zhao lowered his head to drink tea. Madam Li said, "I also heard that you bought a farm. That's good. Whenever you want to relax, you can go there at any time, and you don't have to squeeze in with the crowds."
But what the powerful care about most is privacy.
Mrs. Li asked, "Where did you buy it?"
"Wangzhuang is a bit remote. But the scenery is nice and there are farms nearby, so it's convenient to ask villagers to do farm work. Madam, if you have time and are interested, you can go there at any time. I can just say hello to the manager there."
Mrs. Li smiled, and at this time there was a noise at the door.
The three people looked back and saw Qin Xie's round body rolling towards Ling Zhao like a ball.
He was holding a spherical object in his hand, and when he ran closer I could see clearly that it was a puppy.
The white and chubby one barked in grievance when he held it.
Mrs. Li frowned and asked, "Where did you get such a dog?"
Qin Zhan walked over lazily: "Of course it's a pet store."
He didn't care and rubbed the dog's head: "White Chow Chow, very nice, right?"
Mrs. Li: "Your uncle is allergic to dog hair."
Qin Xie was afraid that his aunt would not allow him to keep a dog, so he hugged the dog tightly and said, "No, I must keep a dog!"
The puppy was almost choked to the point of rolling its eyes. Ling Zhao inexplicably thought of the time when Huo Yixiu was strangled by her neck. He glanced at him and saw that the man had an ugly expression on his face.
Qin Zhan also noticed it, but the dog had already been handed over to Qin Xie, so he didn't care.
Ling Zhao couldn't speak, so he pulled Qin Xie's chubby hand loose: [Be gentle, you'll strangle it to death. ]
Madam Li understood that Ling Zhao was worried about the little dog's life, but she didn't understand her sign language, so she asked Huo Yixiu casually. Huo Yixiu translated it dryly and looked at Ling Zhao with a displeased look.
Madam Li nodded and said with a smile, "You still understand Zhao Zhao."
Qin Zhan suddenly said, "I can also understand sign language, so I also understand Mrs. Huo?" Seeing that Mrs. Li glared at him and did not give her a chance to speak, he immediately said, "But Mr. Huo doesn't seem to like sign language? You seem very impatient."
Huo Yixiu held the teacup and smiled elegantly and gently: "Sign language is what Zhao Zhao and I use every day, so why are you impatient? Mr. Qin's eyesight is not good, so he needs to go to the hospital to see, so as not to make mistakes again and cause any misunderstandings."
"I know a good ophthalmologist in the hospital. Would you like me to introduce him to you?"
Children are afraid to go to the hospital. I heard that the ophthalmologist looked at Qin Zhan and said, "Qin Zhan, is your eye not good? What is this?"
He held out two sausage-like fingers.
The corner of Qin Zhan's eyes twitched. He wondered if the brat could read people's expressions and tell whether what they were saying was good or bad.
He chose to ignore Qin Zhan's little fleshy hand, and said to Huo Yixiu with a half-smile: "Mr. Huo, please stop introducing doctors blindly, and don't cause any more trouble that will end badly."
Huo Yixiu's face turned cold, and the knuckles that were tightly gripping the teacup turned slightly white.
Mrs. Li didn't know much about the Huo family's past, and Qin Zhan had never revealed anything to her, but it didn't sound like a good thing.
"Qin Zhan, how can you talk like that?" Madam Li scolded him coldly, "I haven't settled the score with you for the farce at the celebration banquet. You talked nonsense and you made Madam Huo lose face. She is a well-known person, how could she take her daughter-in-law's things? Now that Mr. Huo is here, you should apologize to the Huo family."
She winked at the tea artist, who handed her a cup of tea.
Qin Zhan raised the corners of his lips, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and stared at the cup of tea.
Huo Yixiu also glanced at the cup of tea without saying anything, and did not take the cup handed over by the tea artist.
Madam Li said, "Boss Huo, it's just a misunderstanding. Qin Zhan is the representative of Dragon Domain. Since the two companies have signed a contract, it's better to work together in harmony."
Madam Li put pressure on Huo Yixiu and Qin Zhan. She gave him a sharp look: You promised me, don't make trouble again.
The curve of Qin Zhan's lips widened. He casually took the tea artist's cup and handed it to Huo Yixiu in a nonchalant manner.
"Boss Huo, it was an unintentional mistake on my part last time. I have a big mouth and was curious about gossip, so I didn't control my mouth. Please forgive me."
