MTL - The Reborn Scholar Wants To Counterattack

Chapter 17 Distinguished Guest

 Her body and mind were equally tired. Gu Weimian really wanted to sleep like this. Thinking that Mr. Huo was coming tomorrow, she reluctantly held herself up and took out her mobile phone to call her grandfather.

 The most urgent task now is to tell grandpa that she does not want to be engaged to Ao Qijun!

I called several times, but the other party didn't answer.

Gu Weimian frowned and called the Gu family's old house. This time, the call was picked up by a servant.

“…Master? The master said that distinguished guests will be arriving in a few days, and he went to the airport to greet them personally.”

"Dignified guest?" Gu Weimian's heart skipped a beat and she had a very bad guess, "Is he from the Huo family?"

“Yes, miss, I heard that she is an old friend of the master’s. That gentleman’s surname is Huo.”

 Gu Weimian suddenly sat up from the bed.

Mr. Gu and the person from the Huo family have already met? !

how so? She remembered that in her previous life, she arrived the next morning!

 Did she remember it wrong? Or have things changed?

 …

The sun was setting in the west, and the burning clouds on the horizon filled half of the sky red, as hot as fire.

At the window of the auxiliary bedroom on the first floor of the Gu family's old house, Huo Yan stared out the window, his eyes so dark that he could not distinguish the emotions inside.

 The bedroom door was opened.

"Master." Leng Rui closed the door and walked to Huo Yan's side almost silently.

 The man had already turned around, with a cold expression on his face: "What's the matter?"

Leng Rui glanced again in the direction where Huo Yan was staring, which was the door of the old house. There was nothing there.

The way Huo Yan was staring just now seemed more like he was waiting for someone?

After a moment, Leng Rui gave up this ridiculous idea. He followed Huo Yan to the coffee table and stood still: "I just found out that two pieces of land under the name of Mr. Gu have been assigned to the name of Ao Qijun of the Ao family. It does not involve Any business cooperation seems to be related to Mr. Gu's visit to the Ao family three days ago."

 Three days ago?

Huo Yanfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed. The day when Gu Weimian's suicide farce happened?

The look on Leng Rui's face was a bit cold: "Preliminary judgment is that Mr. Gu and the Ao family have reached a marriage, and the marriage is between Ao Qijun and Gu Weimian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Rui felt the temperature of the air in the room drop sharply. He quickly glanced at Huo Yan. The man's face was already cold, like an invisible ice knife, penetrating into the bone marrow.

 He was almost unsteady on his feet.

 Before Leng Rui could react, Huo Yan pushed the wheelchair and walked straight out of the bedroom.

“Young Master!” Leng Rui hurriedly caught up, “Aren’t we waiting for the old man? The old man doesn’t know about this yet…”

　　Contacting the man's temperatureless eyes, Leng Rui's voice dropped as he spoke.

The whole body of Huo Yan was extremely cold, extremely silent, and extremely depressed... just looking at him was thrilling.

 …

Gu Weimian couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly got up from the bed and was about to rush to the Gu family's old house. His phone rang again.

As soon as she saw the caller ID, she frowned impatiently and pressed the answer button. Gu Siyu's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Weimian, didn't mom inform you? Grandpa asked us to come over today. Where’s the old house?”

Gu Siyi laughed and groaned, "Yin Yin is also here, and when Brother Qijun is returning, you know, don't forget to dress up for a while. Here, congratulations to your sister first."
