Chapter 1622 It's expected or not (16)
On the weekend, Mu Qian returned from going out and saw his son sitting on the sofa, as if he was watching real-time information played on TV, but in fact, it seemed like he was in a daze.
Candy rubbed against his feet, but received no response from him.
Mu Qian walked forward, bent down and picked up the candy, and then sat down next to her son. "It was such a great time on the weekend, and even my sister knew to invite her classmates out for fun. Why is my son so beautiful young man who is going to be dazed at home instead?"
Huo Qiran came to his senses, reached out to touch the candy in her arms, and said, "I'll have an appointment with a high school classmate to have dinner tonight."
"Hmm?" Mu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "High school classmate? The one who is destined to be with the bag that does not include candy?"
Huo Qiran shook his head helplessly.
"Why?" Mu Qian asked, "Can you not take others to play because others are in trouble?"
Huo Qiran said: "I asked her and she said she didn't have time to participate. Although I knew this was probably an excuse, I didn't have to say much."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded, "You asked her about the high school party, what about you two?"
Huo Qiran turned his head slowly to look at Mu Qian, "What's the matter with us?"
Mu Qian supported her head, laughed, and said, "You used to call people and tell stories every night, and you will be more than half an hour after you tell them. This week, you will be quiet every night, and you have never called a single phone call... Isn't that a problem?"
"Because she is busy," Huo Qiran said, "It's already very late for her to come home every night."
"Oh." Mu Qian responded again and said, "I'm so busy all of a sudden... It's quite normal, right?"
Huo Qiran couldn't help but frowned slightly, turned to look at Mu Qian, but Mu Qian had already lowered her head and went to pet the dog with concentration.
Seeing that the time was agreed upon for the party, Huo Qiran went back to his room to change his clothes, he couldn't help but remember something and called Jing Li.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered it, so he sent her another message: "When will there be time?"
After sending the message, Huo Qiran changed his clothes and went out.
The place for the high school classmate reunion was chosen in a Japanese restaurant in a hotel in a bustling commercial area. About twenty people booked the largest private room in the hotel. When Huo Qiran entered the door, there were already laughter and joy inside.
As soon as he entered the door, the atmosphere suddenly became even more lively. Cheng Ling stretched out his hand and pulled him into the crowd, "Come on, your high school male god is here!"
The girls in the private room immediately laughed and a girl asked him: "Huo Qiran, why don't you bring your girlfriend out and show us all?"
Before Huo Qiran could speak, Cheng Ling had already said first: "Hey, I have asked you about this. They are still single now! So you are interested, hurry up. After passing this village, there will be no store!"
Huo Qiran pushed him with a gesture and scolded, "It's over, you can talk about nothing else?"
"I want to talk about something else," Cheng Ling said, "Ask us female classmates if we agree!"
While talking and laughing, Huo Qiran's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw Jing Li's reply: "We should have been very busy these days. Is there anything wrong?"
Huo Qiran looked at the time and guessed that she should be almost having a meal at this moment, so he replied: "I bought a gift for Xixi and wanted to give it to her to see when it will be convenient for you."
This message was sent out and there was no reply for a long time. Huo Qiran looked at his phone from time to time, but there was no new news in the dialog box.
"Who are you waiting for?" Cheng Ling sat next to him, stretched out his hand and hooked him, "You dare to say that you are single, Huo Qiran, are you not honest?"
Huo Qiran couldn't help but pat him. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the private room was suddenly opened. Then, Shanshan Chi Menglin appeared at the door and shouted to the people in the private room: "Guess who did I bring?"
Everyone looked at the door curiously, and the next moment, they saw Meng Lin pulling someone out from behind.
Huo Qiran was suddenly stunned.
Jing Li, wearing a blue uniform, exposed her slender waist and snow-white and slender legs, appeared behind Meng Lin, her eyes swept quickly over Huo Qiran. Looking at the group of familiar and strange people in the private room, she smiled and said hello: "Hi, everyone... I haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"Jingli!" Someone soon recognized her, "It's been a long time since I saw her!"
"Yes, we talked about you before, but we didn't find your contact information."
"That's not true!" Meng Lin said, "I came by taking a taxi and came from the commercial area. I saw her sitting in an alley at first sight. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
Jing Li smiled helplessly, and his eyes couldn't help but pass by Huo Qiran again.
Some things are really such a coincidence.
She was sitting in the alley, eating her lunch box for dinner while staring at the message he sent. While he was still hesitating about how to reply, she was suddenly recognized by Meng Lin who passed by and then pulled here.
"Jingli, are you..." A girl looked at Jingli's clothes, "Are you experiencing life here?"
After saying that, everyone's eyes fell on the uniform on Jing Li's body again.
"No." Jing Li smiled lightly and responded generously, "I'm working here today. Recently, there is a store in the mall here doing promotion activities. I'm responsible for distributing some flyers, small gifts, etc."
After saying a word, the private room suddenly fell silent for a moment.
Their high school has all the families who are from extraordinary families. Most of them have gone abroad after graduating from high school, so it is rare to get together so many people this time. Although everyone mentioned the bankruptcy of the Jingli family in the group discussion, they saw with their own eyes that their former high school classmates were doing this kind of work, which still had a great impact on some of the people present.
Among the silent people, only Huo Qiran quickly stood up, looked at Jing Li, and handed her coat to her, "The air conditioner in the private room is a bit low, you can put it on."
"No, no, no," Jingli pushed his clothes back and said, "I heard Meng Lin say that everyone is having a dinner here, so I came to say hello. I will go to work soon. I can't sit with everyone anymore. You guys have fun."
After hearing this, Cheng Ling frowned slightly and came forward, saying, "You still have to go to work? Don't go. It's rare that everyone gets together and it's great to have fun! That shop, say, I'll go and tell the boss that you get off work early today."
