Guo Huining's heart was in turmoil.
She knew she didn't have an advantage in terms of family background and age, but she had advantages that young women with good family backgrounds didn't have.
She was smart, capable, mature and steady. She would never throw a tantrum at a man.
More importantly, Huo Guanchen was greatly indebted to her. This was something that others couldn't even compare to.
But she was still a little uneasy. What if she had misjudged him?
Like Hong Ziqi. She had thought he would be a good match for her to marry into a rich family …
Guo Huining waited for Huo Guanchen to return or invite her out to dinner for the next few days.
But Huo Guanchen didn't show up.
She tried calling him but only his personal secretary answered. Huo Guanchen was always busy and didn't have time to answer her calls. He didn't call back to ask what she needed.
Guo Huining's heart was in her throat.
Dou Aiyan kept calling to chat with her and find out about the progress between her and Huo Guanchen.
Guo Huining felt bitter but didn't say it out loud. She just didn't reply and pretended to be mysterious. Only then did she save some face.
Huo Guanchen was well aware of all of this.
He sat in his office and thought about what the person behind Guo Huining wanted her to get close to him.
Of course, the most important thing was to know who was behind it to confirm their motives.
Otherwise, any intentions that were revealed might be fake.
Guo Huining couldn't take it anymore after being ignored for a few days. She finally called Zhang Baochen and asked when he would be free to visit Grandfather Huo.
Zhang Baochen used to work with Huo Guanchen to take care of Grandfather Huo in the hospital.
Grandfather Huo was discharged and moved to Huo Guanchen's private residence. With Guo Huining and so many professionals and servants to take care of him, Zhang Baochen was much more relaxed.
But he also wanted to visit Grandfather Huo. Zhang Baochen immediately answered Guo Huining's call, "I'm free today. How's my father today?"
Guo Huining smiled, "He's much better. He doesn't need a wheelchair anymore and can walk around in the backyard."
Zhang Baochen smiled, "Then I'll come over in the afternoon. Is it convenient for you?"
"Of course, of course." Guo Huining put down the phone and went to inform Grandfather Huo, "Grandfather Huo, Mr. Zhang Baochen is here to see you."
"Baochen? That's great! I haven't seen him in a while. Will my grandson and granddaughter come? "Grandfather Huo asked excitedly.
The grandchildren he was referring to were Zhang Baochen's son, Zhang Wenjie, and daughter, Zhang Wenna.
Guo Huining smiled and shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. Why don't you ask him when he comes?"
Grandfather Huo nodded happily and kept looking out the window, waiting for Zhang Baochen to come.
It took Zhang Baochen two hours to drive from the city.
When she arrived at Huo Guanchen's private residence in the West Mountain villa, she was drenched in sweat despite the cold weather.
Guo Huining handed him a wet tissue and asked with concern, "Are you cold? Do you want to change your clothes? We have some of General Huo's casual clothes here, not his military uniform. "
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Baochen wiped his face and went to see Grandfather Huo.
Since the father and son were going to talk, Guo Huining couldn't just stand by.
By the time Zhang Baochen finished speaking, the sky had already darkened.
Zhang Baochen looked out the French windows and said, "It's already so late."
Guo Huining smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhang, would you like to stay for dinner?"
"It's okay, I have to go back." Zhang Baochen looked at his watch and chatted with Guo Huining for a while.
Then he suddenly asked, "Has my second brother been here these past few days?"
Guo Huining had been beating around the bush for a long time and was waiting for this question. She immediately frowned and said, "He came often a few days ago to visit Grandfather Huo. We even had dinner together. I don't think he's been here much lately … "
Zhang Baochen looked at her pitifully and sighed softly. "Miss Guo, actually, being a housekeeper isn't a long-term job, especially for a woman like you. It's such a pity."
Guo Huining's heart beat wildly.
She thought that if it wasn't for Huo Guanchen, she wouldn't have come to be a housekeeper …
Of course, she couldn't say that.
She smiled subtly and said, "I've worked for so many years, it's good to take a break. Mr. Huo also helped me a lot, so it's only right that I help him now. "
Zhang Baochen thought about what Grandfather Huo had said and couldn't help hinting, "But when my second brother remarries, this place might not need a housekeeper anymore."
No matter how calm Guo Huining was, her expression changed. "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? It's Guanchen … "
Zhang Baochen's eyes widened in shock. "You're calling my second brother Guanchen?!"
This was too intimate and made one's imagination run wild …
Guo Huining covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, I misspoke. I wanted to ask if Mr. Huo has found someone to remarry?"
"I'm not sure about that." Zhang Baochen actually really wanted to help Guo Huining. In his opinion, Guo Huining marrying Huo Guanchen was much better than Huo Guanchen finding someone else.
At least Guo Huining didn't look down on him and even helped him a lot.
Everyone in Huo Guanchen's circle looked down on his family.
Zhang Baochen had enough of their picky looks.
Zhang Baochen's heart skipped a beat and he smiled. "I heard from my father that my second brother has been busy lately. He's actually busy with matchmaking."
"… Matchmaking? Who are the people he's meeting? Do you know? "Guo Huining forced herself to calm down. She still wanted to find out more information and what was going on.
"Who else? Isn't it just the daughters of the people from his family? "Zhang Baochen snorted." But he's getting on in years. Even though he's in a high position, he can't possibly find unmarried girls. The ones he finds are all divorced or widowed women. "
Guo Huining relaxed slightly.
Even though she had fiancés before, she had never married. Compared to those people, she had an obvious advantage.
But Guo Huining was confused again after hearing Zhang Baochen's words.
Who did Huo Guanchen buy that diamond ring for?!
Wasn't it for her?
But the words "endless love" were engraved on it.
It was an obvious expression of love between a man and a woman.
It was too incomprehensible.
Zhang Baochen patted her shoulder and said meaningfully, "Miss Guo, I actually think more highly of you. Don't be discouraged, you still have a chance. "
He hinted to Guo Huining that Huo Guanchen was a filial son. As long as Grandfather Huo agreed, Guo Huining would have no problem marrying him.
Guo Huining was instantly reassured.
She had originally started with Grandfather Huo to get in touch with someone like Huo Guanchen.
As long as she could appease Grandfather Huo, it would be much easier for Huo Guanchen.
Guo Huining's face lit up at the thought.
On the other side, Dou Aiyan was also confused when Guo Huining didn't respond.
She called her superior and reported the situation here hesitantly.
Her supervisor didn't speak for a long time and only said, "I'll ask Big Boss and see if he has any ideas."
Dou Aiyan perked up.
She had already guessed that there must be someone behind her supervisor!
