Chapter 291: 293 The Old Master’s Phone Call (2)_1
Unfortunately, it can only be "what if"!
She and her mother could never be like Nuannuan and her aunt.
The happiest she had ever been were those first few years after moving to Hong Kong and staying at her uncle’s.
Returning to the guest room, she sat listlessly to one side.
Huo Jinnan looked at her.
Che Huan glanced at Huo Jinnan and then at Tuanzhang, stroking Tuanzhang’s head with her hand.
Tuanzhang licked her hand.
Che Huan stared at Tuanzhang, trying hard to remember five years prior, the room too dark to see anything clearly, nor Tuanzhang’s appearance, but the car accident on Yunshang Road that day remained exceptionally vivid in her mind.
Hearing the phone ring, he looked at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan didn’t answer, just kept his gaze fixed on Che Huan.
Che Huan bit her lip and couldn’t help but remind, "Aren’t you going to answer?"
Huo Jinnan picked up the phone, glanced at it, and answered, "Grandfather."
Sitting on the sofa, the Huo Family’s old master’s expression was very grave, "Anan, is the girl you’re dating named Che Huan?"
"Hmm, her name is Che Huan." Huo Jinnan glanced in Che Huan’s direction, his voice magnetic.
The old master hadn’t expected him to admit it outright and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and, after a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Were you the one who helped her with Wen Hua’s situation?"
"Isn’t it only natural to help one’s girlfriend?" Huo Jinnan retorted. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and placed it on his knee, his long fingers tapping the cigarette lightly and deliberately.
The old master didn’t speak for a long while, recalling how he’d brought up this matter in front of Anan, even suspecting the Qin Family, and yet Anan hadn’t shown a hint of reaction.
Now that Anan had made it clear, did that mean he was fully prepared?
Huo Jinnan asked in a low voice after a long pause without hearing from the old master., "Grandfather, are you investigating me?"
The old master rubbed his temples hard, massaging them repeatedly, "Shouldn’t I be concerned about what kind of girlfriend you have found?"
Huo Jinnan’s voice was cold as he spoke, "Sorry, I don’t like this kind of concern."
The old master struggled to restrain himself and only managed to breathe out after a while, "Anan, in a few days it will be my birthday banquet, and I plan to celebrate it. Bring her along."
"It’s not the right time, let’s talk at Mid-Autumn Festival." Huo Jinnan hung up the phone straight away.
Soon, the phone rang again.
Huo Jinnan answered the call, "Grandfather, I’m going to rest."
The old master was blocked by the remark and his face darkened instantly, "Anan..."
"If Grandfather wants to interfere with my private life, there’s really no need. I’m with the woman I like, and it doesn’t matter if Grandfather approves or not." Huo Jinnan said, and immediately hung up the phone.
Che Huan listened by the side, guessing at what his grandfather might have said, her hands secretly clutching her dress. Could it be that no one in the whole world would agree with her being with him?
From their recent conversation, it was clear he and his grandfather had conflicts.
She thought about how Huo Bei had mentioned that the Huo Family’s old master doted on his grand-nephew the most. Would being with him bring a lot of trouble for him?
Huo Jinnan sat there, extinguishing the cigarette in his fingers, and looked at Che Huan, "Come here."
Che Huan bit her lip and walked over to Huo Jinnan, "Your grandfather definitely won’t like me."
Huo Jinnan took her hand, pulled her into his embrace, and gazed downward at her furrowed brows, "I’ll be leaving Li City for a while in a few days, leaving Tuanzhang here. Don’t see anyone without careful consideration."
