Chapter 257 Auntie Is Getting Prettier And Prettier
“Bing Bing, I still think this dress is too …” Liu Yan pushed open the door of the fitting room. Seeing Zhuang Xinran confronting Xia Luobing, she frowned. “Why are you here?”
Thinking back to the time when Zhuang Xinran wanted to give Huo Yunqi a cuckold, she couldn’t help but be angry. Especially when she saw Duo Duo hiding behind Xia Luobing in fear, her anger immediately leapt out of her heart.
“Auntie is getting more and more beautiful.” Zhuang Xinran smiled sweetly at Liu Yan, just like before. “Looks like you’re doing well.”
When Liu Yan held Duo Duo, she comforted her. Hearing Zhuang Xinran’s words, she said bluntly, “We have nothing to say to you.”
Back then, if this hateful woman had really married Yunqi, the Huo Clan would probably have been in a state of turmoil long ago.
Xia Luobing glanced at Zhuang Xinran and checked out the bank card. She then picked up the clothes Liu Yan had changed from before and said, “Mom, let’s go.”
Liu Yan answered and took Duoduo out of the shop. After taking a few steps, she said unhappily, “Why is she back?”
Seeing Zhuang Xinran, she remembered the scene when she was schemed and was in a bad mood.
“This is her home. As for why I came back, I’m not sure.” Xia Luobing said, “In the future, we should just deal with her less.”
Liu Yan said “yes”. Although she knew that what Xia Luobing said was right, she was still uncomfortable in her heart and did not have the mood to go shopping.
When he returned home, Huo Yunqi also happened to come back. Seeing Liu Yan’s bad expression, he frowned, “What’s wrong?”
Recently, the atmosphere at home was extremely harmonious. He guessed that there was a conflict between Liu Yan and Xia Luobing.
“Duoduo, go upstairs and play with the puzzle.” Xia Luobing let go of her daughter’s finger and said, “Go.”
There were only three people left in the living room. Only then did Charlotte say, “We met Zhuang Xinran at the mall today.”
“When I saw that woman, I was filled with anger!” Liu Yan sat on the sofa angrily and said unhappily, “I wonder what will happen to her this time.”
Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi exchanged glances and sat next to Liu Yan on the sofa. She held her hand and comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry, she can’t flip up any waves.”
“My heart is always not at ease.” Liu Yan said uneasily. She held Xia Luobing’s hand and patted it, “Bing Bing, don’t go out recently. Stay at home.”
Each of them felt that the present peaceful life was not easy to come by, so something unusual happened.
“Alright, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be at home.” Xia Luobing said gently. Seeing that Liu Yan’s expression had eased a lot, she smiled and said, “Mom, I’m hungry.”
Because she was pregnant, Xia Luobing was easily hungry. Every day, Liu Yan would personally prepare a lot of snacks. Hearing Xia Luobing’s words, she could not help but get angry. She quickly stood up and said, “Sit here and wait for a while. I will prepare them for you immediately.”
Seeing the matriarch hurrying to the kitchen, Xia Luobing let out a sigh of relief.
“Bing Bing is getting better and better at coaxing people.” Huo Yunqi smiled and sat beside her. “I will take care of Zhuang Xinran’s matters. You don’t need to worry.”
Charlotte nodded. “I know.”
However, why did Zhuang Xinran come back this time?
The look in her eyes was clearly filled with hatred.
Charlotte shook her head, put her palm on her lower abdomen, and pursed her lips.
However, before they could act, Zhuang Xinran had already brought a gift to visit the Huo Clan.
“We meet again, Captain Xia.” Zhuang Xinran stood at the door and glanced at the courtyard, “Captain Xia doesn’t invite me in?”
Charlotte said coldly, “It would be more appropriate for you to call me Mrs. Huo.”
Zhuang Xinran came to provoke her like this. If she said that she had no other thoughts, even ghosts would not believe her.
“Alright, Mrs. Huo, aren’t you going to invite me in?” Zhuang Xinran looked at Xia Luobing and smiled. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I really miss you so much.”
Charlotte said coldly, “Not welcome.”
She didn’t have a good impression of Zhuang Xinran, so she naturally didn’t want to lure wolves into the house.
“No matter what, Yunqi is my savior. I came here to thank him for saving my life.” Zhuang Xinran did not have any anger on his face. He looked at Xia Luobing and raised his eyebrows. “What do you think, Mrs. Huo?”
Xia Luobing looked at Zhuang Xinran. Compared to a few years ago, the woman in front of him seemed to be more seductive and gloomy, causing people to feel a chill of resistance in their hearts.
However, she had seen many extremely vicious gangsters before. She quickly calmed her mind and looked at Zhuang Xinran bluntly. “Miss Zhuang, you’re too polite. Even if it was a cat or a dog, Yunqi would not ignore it if she saw it.”
Her words had already reached this point, and she did not believe that Zhuang Xinran would still have to come in.
Sure enough, Zhuang Xinran’s expression suddenly changed when he heard her say this. He stared coldly at Xia Luobing and said impolitely, “Captain Xia, you still have some room to do what you say and do. Feng Shui takes turns. Perhaps you will beg me for help when the time comes.”
If it wasn’t for Xia Luobing interfering, she should be Mrs. Huo now.
“Then we’ll talk about this when Feng Shui turns to Miss Zhuang.” Xia Luobing said bluntly, “I still have things to do, so I won’t chat with Miss Zhuang.”
With that, Xia Luobing turned around and left, completely ignoring Zhuang Xinran. However, he could clearly feel the two gazes behind him, burning hot as if he wanted to see through her.
” Xia Luobing, good, very good!”
Zhuang Xinran threw away the gift box in his hand, turned around, and left the car. Apart from the gift box that was left at the door, everything was the same as before, as if there had never been a dispute just now.
Because of Zhuang Xinran’s matter, Liu Yan’s mind was restless. Therefore, after discussing with Xia Luobing, Huo Yunqi arranged for her to take Duoduo on vacation. Only Xia Luobing and Huo Yunqi were left in the huge villa. During the day, she was alone at home. She really felt a little lonely.
“Dingdong! Dingdong!”
The phone on the table rang without warning, causing Charlotte’s heart to tremble. She reached out and picked it up, “Yunqi?”
“Bing Bing, I have a dinner party tonight. You should eat early and rest. You don’t have to wait for me.” Huo Yunqi said gently, “Be good.”
With such a doting voice, Xia Luobing ‘s cheeks instantly turned red. She said sullenly, “Mm”, “Come back early.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Luobing felt her cheeks get hot. She was the captain of the Criminal Police Force, and she was made to look like a child who could not take care of herself by Yunqi. She was really hateful.
However, if he didn’t come back, it would be very lonely to be alone at home.
At QC Group, Huo Yunqi hung up the phone and glanced at Ye Shaochen, who was smiling in a perverted manner, and said coldly, “You want to go too?”
“Today is my wedding anniversary with Yunxi. I promised to spend it with her.” Ye Shaochen hurriedly said, “Big brother, you don’t want Yunxi to be disappointed, do you?”
The person in charge of today’s negotiations was Ye Shaochen, but something happened to him, so Huo Yunqi had no choice but to personally step in.
“You are responsible for the follow-up work.” Huo Yunqi said indifferently. Seeing that Ye Shaochen wanted to refute, he very impolitely threatened, “Otherwise, you can go today.”
Ye Shaochen immediately looked like a defeated rooster, and he cried out with a wretched expression, “You did it on purpose.”
This person had clearly planned to use a round of negotiations tonight to enslave him for a long time.
“Yes.”
Huo Yunqi’s frank attitude almost angered Ye Shaochen. He almost wanted to take the initiative to negotiate tonight, but when he thought of Huo Yunxi’s angry appearance, he could only clench his teeth and turn around to leave. He sighed in his heart. It was not easy to live with such a black-hearted boss.
In the evening, the secretary escorted Huo Yunqi to Sheng Hua Hotel. When he arrived, there was no one in the private room. He took the documents and casually flipped through them.
This time, QC’s negotiator, a European company, has just developed in recent years, and its development momentum is very good.
Because of Ai Dasheng’s underhanded actions, QC needed to find a stable partner in Europe. Today, ZR Group became the first priority.
Moreover, the other party was willing to cooperate with QC.
“Creak!”
When Huo Yunqi heard someone pushing the door open, he looked up and frowned, “Why is it you?”
“The executive director of ZR, is he not qualified to negotiate with President Huo?” Zhuang Xinran pulled up his chair and sat opposite Huo Yunqi. He looked at the handsome face of the man opposite him and his heart throbbed.
If it wasn’t for Charlotte, he would be hers, hers.
The villain in her heart was screaming desperately. She was unwilling, so after many years, she still came back.
Huo Yunqi closed the information in his hand, looked at Zhuang Xinran, and said indifferently, “Are you the only one today?”
“And you.” Zhuang Xinran pursed her lips and smiled charmingly. “No matter what, President Huo and I are old acquaintances. It is most appropriate for us to discuss this cooperation.”
Huo Yunqi frowned and glanced at Zhuang Xinran. “This is QC’s plan. Take a look. If there is no objection, we can sign it.”
Zhuang Xinran took it and flipped it over. He put it aside and sighed softly, “Yunqi, do you and I have to be so cold? Even if we can’t be husband and wife, we can still be friends, right?”
Huo Yunqi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhuang Xinran. He had to say that after so many years, Zhuang Xinran had changed a lot. At the very least, he had learned not to reveal his emotions.
“In business.” Huo Yunqi knocked on the table with his fingers and said coldly, “Today’s dinner is for the cooperation of the two companies.”
Zhuang Xinran took out a pen from her pocket and turned to the last page to sign her name. She handed the document back to Yunqi Huo and said, “Is that okay?”
“Sure.” Huo Yunqi flipped through the contract and said indifferently, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
He had nothing to say to Zhuang Xinran.
Zhuang Xinran stopped Huo Yunqi and raised his eyebrows. “Is this the way President Huo treats guests? Isn’t it appropriate? If the person who came today wasn’t me, President Huo would have accompanied them to dinner, right?”
Huo Yunqi frowned, admitting that Zhuang Xinran’s words made sense, but thinking of Xia Luobing alone at home, she lost interest in eating.
“President Huo said just now, it’s business.” Zhuang Xinran continued, stretching out his hand to greet the waiter, “Serve the food, serve the wine.”
The waiter served quickly and poured the wine for the two of them before leaving. Only Huo Yunqi and Xia Luobing were left in the room.
“I just came back this time to see my hometown. I’ll be leaving soon.” Zhuang Xinran smiled and said, “Don’t think too much.”
Huo Yunqi looked at Zhuang Xinran and said indifferently, “How did you fall into the water?”
Zhuang Xinran was stunned. Complex emotions flashed through his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, “Surprise.”
After saying these two words, she had an indifferent expression, as if she didn’t want to explain. Huo Yunqi didn’t ask any further when he saw this, and he already had his own thoughts in his heart.
“To a happy cooperation. Cheers.” Zhuang Xinran raised his glass and said to Huo Yunqi, “The cooperation between QC and ZR will definitely be very enjoyable.”
Yunqi Huo finished the wine in one gulp and placed it on the table. He stood up and said, “I drank the wine too. Goodbye.”
This time, Zhuang Xinran did not stop him. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up and say “please”, “We will see each other again.”
