Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Give Her a Surprise
Outside the office, He Yirong had just walked out of the elevator when he saw He Jingyao striding toward him.
His face showed astonishment, “Jingyao, what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing, I’m going out for a while,” He Jingyao passed by him without a change in his expression and said, “Dad, I’ll rely on you for this afternoon’s schedule.”
“Wait, where are you going?” He Yirong’s face darkened, “Lunchtime is almost here, and I have something to tell you.”
“Let’s talk when I get back,” He Jingyao said with a slight smile.
Adam also entered the elevator, gritting his teeth as he pressed the door close button.
He Yirong watched helplessly as the elevator doors closed in front of him, taking a long time to recover.
Once in the car, He Jingyao revealed a relaxed smile.
He took out his phone, initially intending to call Su Zixi, but after a slight hesitation, he closed the contact list instead.
After all, he was about to see her soon—it would be a surprise for her.
That morning, Huo Yanhui had called him to report the results of the matching test, but Su Zixi had still not given him any news. Recalling this, he realized that this woman seldom took the initiative to contact him.
Thinking of this, He Jingyao’s gaze darkened slightly, his crossed hands moved slightly as he pondered how to “teach her a lesson.”
Su Zixi and Huo Yanhui returned to Wanhe Qianfeng Garden.
It was still early, and Su Zixi suddenly realized she had nothing to do.
Clutching her phone, she suddenly missed hearing He Jingyao’s voice very much, but if she called him, she knew she would inevitably reveal her weakness.
After all, she had just found out that she was a child with unknown parents. No matter how she comforted herself that it wasn’t a big deal, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat sad.
Li Bo asked about the matching results, and then Huo Yanhui spread his hands, “The matching was successful, but Su Guo’an suddenly said he doesn’t need the Young Mistress to bone marrow for him, so we came back.”
Li Bo was astonished, “How is that possible?”
Huo Yanhui pondered for a moment, “Probably his illness has affected his brain too, I guess?”
Li Bo gave him a speechless look, then turned his gaze toward Su Zixi. Yet, Su Zixi seemed a bit distracted, she smiled, “I’m going to rest in my room.”
Saying this, she turned and went upstairs.
With Li Bo’s keenness, how could he not notice that something had happened? However, with Huo Yanhui acting all secretive, he didn’t inquire further but considerately went to prepare the dishes the Young Mistress loved.
Seeing that both of them were not paying attention to him, Huo Yanhui glanced around and silently left the house.
He wouldn’t take action at this moment, but he needed to clarify the whereabouts of the beauty. Since Ye Shutong was seen entering and leaving Wanhe Qianfeng Garden by a car from the President Mansion yesterday, either she lived here, or she had relatives here. In any case, it was very likely that she would appear again.
Unfortunately, he didn’t seize the opportunity to find out her address yesterday. Huo Yanhui recalled his foolish behavior from the day before and was sorely vexed, resolved to redeem himself!
After Su Zixi returned to her room, she threw herself onto the bed and couldn’t help but sigh.
She unlocked her phone and found a photo from her gallery—it was a photo she had taken with her mother. In the picture, she was only three years old, held in her mother’s arms. Although her mother’s face was pale and thin, her smile was very gentle.
At that time, she was too young, and her features hadn’t fully developed, but now, looking at her still-young mother’s face, Su Zixi suddenly realized she didn’t really resemble her.
The more she looked, the more alarmed she became, and she forcefully threw her phone aside!
