Chapter 259: Finishing the Discussion

“Alright, then I shan’t continue. Girl, you and Xuan’er should rest early.”

Since Mo Zhu had already agreed to save his friend, Old Master Huo did not want to make his granddaughter-in-law unhappy because of other people’s family matters. He simply instructed her briefly and hung up the phone.

After the sound of the phone being hung up came from the phone. Mo Zhu indifferently placed her phone on the small round table in front of the sofa. She seemed to have thought of something and her eyes widened in a daze.

A few minutes later, Huo Xuan’s video conference ended. He raised his hand and tidied up the messy documents on his desk. After tidying them up, he turned to look at Mo Zhu, who was lying on the sofa in a daze. He stood up and walked straight to the girl.

Just as he stood in front of Mo Zhu, the girl came back to her senses and asked in a daze, “Are you done with the meeting?”

Huo Xuan nodded and patted the girl’s shoulder gently. “I’m done. Who were you calling just now? You even called twice?”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she looked up at Huo Xuan and said lightly, “It was grandpa who called you. I saw that you were too busy to pick it up, so I picked it up and asked grandpa what’s wrong.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. “Grandfather told you about the Lu family? He looked for me twice previously. I wasn’t willing to interfere with your decision, so I found a reason to reject him.”

Of course, Mo Zhu knew that Huo Xuan didn’t want to make things difficult for her and was doing it for her sake. She took the initiative to reach out and hold the man’s hand as she replied, “Grandfather asked me to change the conditions I have asked for saving him. On account of him, I promised to take half of the Lu family’s assets.”

Upon hearing that Mo Zhu had agreed to this matter for him, Huo Xuan frowned with a hint of displeasure on his face. “You changed it just because my grandfather asked you to?”

He didn’t want Mo Zhu to compromise and change his decision because of his family’s matters. Huo Xuan understood Mo Zhu and knew that she had her own principles and bottom line. That was why he had rejected Old Master Huo’s request twice, unwilling to let the Huo family become the girl’s burden.

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes to look at Huo Xuan’s hand in front of her. She rubbed the back of the man’s hand and said, “What’s wrong with that? Old Master Huo is your grandfather, so he’s naturally my elder. I have to give my elders face no matter what.”

Since Mo Zhu had already said so, Huo Xuan couldn’t be petty about these things. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and thought to himself, The Huo family is owing Mo Zhu more and more favors and he had to think of a way to repay her.

The night passed just like that. The next morning, in order to make her presence known, Kang Wan insisted on following Mo Zhu and wanted Uncle Zhang to send her to school after breakfast at the Huo residence.

Huo Xuan wanted to flare up, but after pondering for a moment, he recalled that he had promised to take good care of Kang Wan. He sat on the chair with a headache and didn’t say a word.

After school at night, when Mo Zhu walked out of the school gate, she saw Kang Wan standing beside Huo Xuan’s car and talking to the man with a smile. She gave the two of them a cold glance and walked straight into the car without looking at the others.

At this moment, Huo Xuan was also annoyed by Kang Wan’s words. Ever since he got together with Mo Zhu, it had been a long time since Huo Xuan had been able to deal with such a chatterbox. He rubbed his aching ears and waited for Kang Wan to get into the car before impatiently ordering, “Either shut your mouth, or solve your own transportation problem to school in the future.”

When Kang Wan heard this, she was about to retort when she looked up and happened to see the man’s slightly unhappy expression. She moved her mouth awkwardly and finally lowered her eyes without saying a word.

The car drove steadily on the path to the Huo residence. Halfway through, Mo Zhu suddenly received a text message alert. She calmly took out her phone and glanced at the contents. Then, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Xuan. “They’ve arrived in Cloud City. Let’s go and take a look now.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he understood who Mo Zhu was referring to. He nodded in understanding. After getting Uncle Zhang to stop the car by the side of the road, he turned to look at Kang Wan and instructed, “I’ll get someone to call a car for you. Wait by the side of the road.”

The man’s words stunned Kang Wan. She looked at Huo Xuan in surprise and asked in disbelief, “Brother Huo, you want me to get out of the car here and go back by myself?”

Huo Xuan nodded and said bluntly, “Yes, Mo Zhu and I have other things to do. You can stay here. This road is rather conspicuous, and it’ll be easier for the driver to notice you when the car arrives later..”
