"How dare you ask me that? Don't tell me you guys haven't met in private?" Yang Meirong glared at Huo Mien fiercely.
Huo Mien was speechless. It was true that she had met Qin Chu, although it wasn't her intention …
However, her mother wouldn't listen to her explanation. Anything she said now would only make her angrier.
"Mom, rest well. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"I don't need your kindness. If you have any shame, then don't ever come see me again. I don't want to die early, just like your Uncle Jing."
Her mother's mocking words made Huo Mien's heart ache slightly …
She had felt guilty about Uncle Jing's death for seven years, and no one had been sadder than her during these seven years.
Thinking of this, she didn't say anything else. She pushed open the door and left …
"Sis, I'll walk you out."
Jing Zhixin followed behind her. He knew that his sister must be upset.
"Sis, our mother has a bad temper. Don't take it to heart. She has been like this for the past few years. Moreover, I read in the books that women at this age are prone to menopause. Our mother is definitely not running away."
"You little brat, what kind of books are you reading?" Huo Mien looked at his brother, both angry and amused.
"Sis, don't worry. I'll take care of Mom. You go do what you need to do."
Huo Mien nodded. "I'll take a few days off tomorrow to take care of Mom. You can go back to school tomorrow. Oh, here's your allowance for next month. Take it."
Huo Mien took out a thousand yuan in cash from his bag and handed it to his brother …
"Sis, I don't want it. I still have money from last month. Plus, I have a part-time job at school. You don't need to give me money. You're getting married, and Zhiyuan and I have a lot of things to spend money on."
"Take it. Our marriage won't hurt you. Zhixin, I know you care about your sister, so you don't spend money recklessly. However, you can't scrimp on what you need. You're still growing, so eat more." After speaking, Huo Mien dotingly patted his brother's head.
"I know, Sis. You too."
When Huo Mien left the hospital, he had mixed feelings …
She didn't expect Qin Chu to find her mother and the others so quickly. What was he trying to do?
It seemed that … there was really a need to talk.
She took out her phone and scrolled through the call history. That unfamiliar number ending with 8866 should be hers.
After a moment of hesitation, she called him …
"Hey, Qin Chu, what do you want?" Huo Mien asked angrily as soon as the call was connected.
"I'm sorry, Boss Qin is in a meeting. May I ask who you are?" An unfamiliar male voice came from the other end.
Huo Mien felt a little awkward and remained silent …
"I'm Chairman Qin's assistant, Xiao Yang. I can pass on your message."
"No need," Huo Mien said coldly and hung up the phone.
– GK Empire Headquarters – Inside a high-level meeting room
Qin Chu was wearing a black, Italian-style shirt with luxurious diamonds on the cuffs. He looked extremely mysterious.
There wasn't a trace of a smile or warmth on his handsome face. Even his eyes were icy cold.
He took over as GK's CEO the day after he returned to China. His father, Qin Yumin, was already half-retired from his position as chairman. It seemed like he was very comfortable handing over the family business to his son.
"President Qin, the chairman has already agreed to the Greenfield Manor project. We just need to sign it. Can you … see if you can sign it when you have time? Then we can start work," the director of the development zone said carefully.
