Chapter 569: 544 Making a Mistake (10)_1
It must be much more powerful than him, right?
He stared at the cellphone for a while, then glanced at the photo again.
Even with his non-professional eye, he thought the photo was taken extremely well, revealing Anan’s solid foundation.
He thought about how over those years, he hadn’t paid much attention to Anan; instead, he had been meticulously grooming Adong, Ayun, and Jizhou... Unexpectedly, the willow tree he planted without much thought had thrived in the shadows!
Anan was excellent in many ways, far surpassing Adong, not to mention Ayun and Jizhou—
Now, he had no other choice, and didn’t want to overthink it anymore.
Just then, Uncle Guan answered a phone call and looked at the old master, "The young miss has been kicked out by the second young master."
The old master opened his eyes and looked at Uncle Guan, "What happened?"
Uncle Guan shook his head, "I’m not sure about the details, but I know the second miss was sent to live outside, in a house previously bought by the second madam."
"Keep an eye on it."
The old master instructed and then looked at the driver, "Drive, let’s go back."

Nanyuan Villa
Huo Bei looked to Huo Jinnan, "Sir, the young miss has already been personally taken to the sanatorium by the old master."
Huo Jinnan "hmm"ed a response.
Huo Bei then whispered, "Gucheng Group has also filed for bankruptcy, it seems the old master has given up on the young miss."
"Isn’t that also a form of protection?"
Huo Jinnan looked up at Huo Bei, took a puff of his cigarette, then turned to gaze out of the window, "How is the investigation going for the two matters I asked you to look into?"
"Sir, I haven’t found anything yet."
Huo Bei looked at Huo Jinnan, General Qin’s matter was difficult to investigate, and why the regiment leader treated Che Huan differently was even harder, both were deep-seated issues without any traces to follow.
Huo Jinnan looked at Huo Bei, "You go get some rest first."
Huo Bei complied and left.
Huo Jinnan sat at the desk, sat there for a while, then suddenly saw the calendar and, after looking at it for several moments, put out his cigarette and returned to the bedroom.
Che Huan lay in bed reading a book.
Huo Jinnan walked closer and pulled the book from her hands.
Che Huan looked at him, "By the way, Mr. Smith said how is my mother recovering after the flap surgery?"
"Very well, can we talk about the details later?"
Che Huan let out a sigh of relief, thought about the issue she raised before, and pushed Huo Jinnan with her hand, "School is about to start, have you inquired about the matter I mentioned last time?"
"Is this the attitude when asking for favors?"
Che Huan smiled Yan Ran and leaned in closer, "What kind of attitude should I have?"
"That’s not enough, like the first time we met under the lights."
"I’ve forgotten..."
"Really? I can remind you. That day you said this, ’Should I stay tonight to help warm Mr. Huo’s bed?’"
"..."
Che Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, her eyes glimmering like ripples on water, not expecting him to remember so clearly.
"Hmm, you also said, ’As long as you’re willing to save my uncle, anything is fine!’"
"..."
"Will you tell me or not?"
"Then... then you tell me, how exactly did Jinxue make you angry?"
Huo Jinnan looked deeply into Che Huan’s eyes, freed a hand, and opening the drawer of the bedside table next to him, took out a stack of photos and tossed them onto the bed.
