Ning Meng held back her laughter and looked at Qi Shan. When she saw him standing there in a daze, Ning Meng quickly added, "Ah, then uncle's appetite is really good. He's like a pig."
"??"
After saying that, Qi Shan realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly added, "I didn't mean that you're a pig, I meant that you eat like you're a pig."
"…"
Qi Shan panicked even more. "Uncle, I really didn't mean it that way. Please don't be angry, you …"
A beeping sound came from the other side.
Qi Shan raised his head and looked at Ning Meng with a bitter expression. "Missus, I had to coax that dog of a father-in-law for more than a month before I could get the right to enter the house. Now, it's all over … If I had known this would happen …"
Ning Meng thought that he would say, 'If I had known this would happen, I would not have said anything.' She did not expect him to have such a weird brain circuit. "If I had known this would happen, I would not have coaxed him. I would have coaxed him together now. Isn't that great?"
"…"
Therefore, the fact that Zhen Shanmei was still willing to accept Qi Shan was probably Qi Shan's good fortune from his previous life.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
On the other hand, Huo Beichen signed a few important documents and passed them to Qi Shan. "Prepare to be discharged."
Although the doctor had asked her to stay in the hospital for observation for three days, Ning Meng knew that she would be fine. Moreover, Su Ye could call her anytime, so she could go home anytime she wanted. Ning Meng did not want to stay in this cold hospital, so after discussing with Huo Beichen, she decided to be discharged today.
Qi Shan went out to settle the discharge paperwork while Huo Beichen packed up the things he had used for the past few days. When he was done, Huo Beichen sat on the sofa.
The room fell silent.
Ning Meng asked, "Huo Nan, what happened next?"
Huo Beichen was stunned when she mentioned Huo Nan. He looked at Ning Meng. Ever since she had regained her memory, the two of them had not talked about the past.
Huo Beichen was afraid that she would be sad and leave him alone again.
Ning Meng did not know what to say.
No matter how sad it was, it had already been five years, and she was used to it.
The dead are gone, and the living should always look forward.
But the murderer must not go unpunished.
After she asked the question, she looked straight at Huo Beichen.
Huo Nan was Huo Beichen's cousin. The Huo family would definitely come to beg for mercy, but she believed that Huo Beichen would not compromise easily.
Sure enough, Huo Beichen said faintly, "She's going to prison. Life imprisonment."
Fei Bai was very reliable. That year, Huo Nan was arrested very quickly and sent to the prosecutor's office. After that, there was a lawsuit. The lawyer wanted to use the reason that Huo Nan was underage to get a lighter sentence.
However, Huo Beichen had found out that when he killed the man, he was already past the time of his birth, which meant that he was already an adult. Moreover, after killing the man, he did not repent and ran away, which added to his crime. In the end, he won the case.
Huo Nan's parents were furious when Huo Nan was arrested. They came looking for trouble with Huo Beichen.
At this critical moment, Old Master Huo stood by Huo Beichen's side.
Huo Nan's father was a spoiled brat with a weak personality. In those two years, Huo Beichen was in the limelight. Grandfather Huo had no choice but to hand over the Huo family to Huo Beichen.
After Old Master Huo sent Huo Nan's parents overseas, he brought Huo Beichen home and asked him to sign the papers. The Huo Group was now his.
At that time, Huo Beichen said to the old man, "Are you sure you want to give the company to me? Don't you regret it? "
Huo Beichen hated the Huo family.
Because they did not acknowledge his mother, he did not have any feelings for his grandfather.
Old Master Huo had no other choice but to give the company to him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Beichen sold all the company's assets and donated them to charity! As soon as this happened, Old Master Huo was so angry that he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
The Huo Group now was the empire that Huo Beichen had single-handedly built. There was no trace of the Huo family.
Old Master Huo did not live for long. After he passed away, Huo Beichen returned to being alone.
…
After listening to Huo Beichen's recount of the past, Ning Meng was silent for a while. Then, she asked, "When did you recruit Qi Shan?"
Huo Beichen's eyes darkened when he heard this. "The company needs a hacker like him. Out of all the top hackers, I chose him."
Ning Meng smiled. "Don't you think that he's like …"
The name 'Huang Cheng' was stuck in her mouth. After a long time, she finally said it. "Like Huang Cheng. He's a very straightforward person. He has high IQ but low EQ."
Huo Beichen knew that she should have let go of this name when she heard it. He nodded. "Otherwise, why would I be so tolerant of him?"
There must be a reason why Huo Beichen could tolerate Qi Shan's stupidity for so long.
However, Ning Meng knew that Qi Shan and Huo Beichen must have feelings for each other. Huo Beichen might look cold, but after spending a long time with him, his feelings would become stronger.
After Qi Shan was done with the discharge procedures, he came back to report to Ning Meng. "Boss, missus, please wait for a while. I need to go to the toilet. I caught a cold today. My stomach hurts."
Ning Meng waved her hand. "Go."
Qi Shan walked out of the bathroom in her room awkwardly.
Ning Meng, on the other hand, was sitting on the bed. She got up and took two steps to feel the changes in her body.
She felt that she had figured something out.
Eight years ago, she had used her real body to travel to this world. That body did not belong to this world. It had no identity and would have to leave sooner or later. Even if it had not been for the fire, she would not have been able to keep it.
But now, Miss Casanova had died when she jumped off the building. She had used this body and would never leave this world again.
Qi Shan went out of the room and went to the toilet. When he came out, he touched his pocket and found a roasted sweet potato. He had bought it on the way here.
He had missed dinner time and his stomach was empty. He quickly opened it, afraid that Huo Beichen would wait for him and finished it in two to three bites.
After eating, he returned to the ward. "Boss, missus, we can go now!"
In the end, he saw Ning Meng looking at him strangely. Ning Meng asked, "Did you really go to the toilet?"
Qi Shan nodded. "Yes. My stomach hurts. But I'm fine now!"
Ning Meng's mouth twitched. She looked even weirder.
"??"
He was stunned. Ning Meng passed him a piece of paper. She looked disgusted. After he took the paper, he took a few steps back. "Hurry up and wipe your mouth."
Qi Shan was speechless.
He moved closer to the mirror next to him and saw a circle of roasted sweet potatoes around his mouth.
"???"
He remembered that he had gone to the toilet and came back with something around his mouth. Then, he thought about Ning Meng's eyes and panicked. "Listen to me, missus. Listen to me. It's not what you think …"
Ning Meng had already walked in front. "Let's go home. It's disgusting!"
"…"
On the way home, Qi Shan was driving and Ning Meng was sitting in the back seat. Suddenly, she looked at Huo Beichen and hooked her finger at him.
Huo Beichen walked over.
Ning Meng asked, "Do you think I'm prettier eight years ago or now?"
Although their facial features were the same, their bodies were different!
This body was fairer than hers!
This was a deadly question.
Huo Beichen knew that if he did not answer well, he would set off a ticking time bomb.
[I'm going back to my hometown for Chinese New Year. I need to hurry. There will be a lot of traffic on the way home, and I don't know when I'll be home. Let's write 2,000 words today. It's Chinese New Year, and this book is almost done. So, I'm thinking of updating it slowly during Chinese New Year. I've been writing for Chinese New Year since 2013. This year, I want to write less and spend more time with my family. Muah!]
