Chapter 184 Sorry, I'm Late

The next morning, before dawn, a car quickly drove into the old house.

Immediately afterwards, downstairs and upstairs, there was a ping-pong sound.

"Jin Xi! Jin Xi! Come out for me!"

Huo Bolin stood at the door of Huo Jinxi's bedroom, knocking heavily on the door, but received no response.

In Mr. Huo's room, Mu Qian, who had not slept all night, heard the movement and raised her head suddenly and found that Mr. Huo was also awakened.

Mu Qian quickly comforted Mr. Huo, "Grandpa, don't get up, I'll go and see what's wrong."

Mu Qian stood up and just walked to the door when the door was suddenly pushed open from outside. Then, Huo Bolin walked in from outside with great strides.

Seeing Mu Qian behind the door, Huo Bolin had no good expression, but just strode to Mr. Huo's bed, "Dad, you have to take care of Jin Xi! Xiaoxiao is also your granddaughter. Even if she is a little willful, she has

What a big mistake? Is it the kind of place she should go to?”

Mr. Huo had just woken up and had a vague headache. Mu Qian hurriedly stepped forward and adjusted the pillow for Mr. Huo, then looked at Huo Bolin, "Uncle Fourth, don't be excited, say something slowly."

Huo Bolin glanced at her and said, "Dad, Xiaoxiao is your granddaughter. You can't even want your own granddaughter for an outsider, right?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Mr. Huo frowned and spoke slowly.

"Jin Xi wants to send Xiaoxiao to Indonesia!" Huo Bolin was anxious and angry, "Is he the final decision of the Huo family? He will do whatever he wants?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jinxi's voice suddenly came from the door: "Uncle Fourth thinks, who should have the final say?"

He must have just taken a shower, his hair was still wet, and a black bathrobe on his body made him look deeper and imposing.

"Xiaoxiao is your cousin!" Hoberlin was excited, "Even if she did something wrong, she would do it for your own good! How could you be so arbitrary?"

Hearing the last four words, Huo Jinxi's eyes moved slightly and he sneered, "Yes, I am so arbitrary. If the fourth uncle thinks it is not appropriate for Xiaoxiao to go to Indonesia alone, then you can accompany her."

"You-" Huo Bolin was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he could only turn his head to look at Mr. Huo, "Dad, look at him, look at what he said!"

Mr. Huo closed his eyes and frowned. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes again. After looking at Huo Bolin, he looked at Mu Qian again.

Mu Qian sat on the sofa next to her and played with her fingers boredly, as if the matter of your Huo family was nothing to do with me.

Seeing this, Mr. Huo slowly spoke again: "Jin Xi, Xiaoxiao did something wrong, but she did not have any bad intentions. The punishment for going to Indonesia is a bit heavier, so it is better to--"

"No." Before Mr. Huo finished speaking, Huo Jinxi had already spoken outright and refused.

"You don't listen to your grandfather?" Huo Bolin turned to look at Huo Jinxi, "Do you really treat yourself as the emperor?"

"It doesn't matter whether I am an emperor or not." Huo Jinxi looked at him, his voice low and indifferent, "My fourth uncle has time to disturb grandpa here, so why not rush to the airport as soon as possible, maybe you can send Xiaoxiao away."

When Hoberlin heard this, his face changed suddenly, "You, you..."

He didn't "you" come out, so he pushed Huo Jinxi away and turned around and rushed out.

Huo Jinxi then stepped forward, walked to Mr. Huo's bed, and tidied up the pillows and quilts for Mr. Huo, "It's still early, grandpa, let's sleep for a while."

Mr. Huo has ignored the company's affairs in recent years and rarely cares about family affairs, but basically Huo Jinxi will listen to whatever he says. But today, Huo Jinxi disobeyed his intentions for the first time.

Mr. Huo sighed slightly and said nothing.

Huo Jinxi sat for a while before saying, "I want to fly to New York today. If you don't want to be disturbed, I will instruct the bodyguard not to let the idle people come in."

Mr. Huo glanced at Mu Qian before speaking again: "Why are you suddenly going to fly to New York?"

"I have a project that I need to sign in." Huo Jinxi replied, "I will be back in two days at most."

Mr. Huo nodded.

Huo Jinxi turned his head slightly to look at Mu Qian, but saw her still sitting there and playing with her fingers intently, without raising her head.

"Then I'm going to leave for the airport." Huo Jinxi said, "You have a good rest."

Huo Jinxi did not look at Mu Qian anymore and stood up and walked out of the room.

Not long after, Qi Yuan's sound came from the room, followed by the sound of the suitcase dragging, and then all the movements gradually disappeared.

Huo Jinxi left.

Mr. Huo was always lying quietly, and then he finally looked at Mu Qian again, "Qianqian."

Mu Qian immediately looked up and smiled at him, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Huo stretched out his hand to her, and Mu Qian then got up and walked over to hold Mr. Huo's hand, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"What grandpa told you last night is true." Mr. Huo said slowly, "But grandpa also understands that the suffering you have suffered cannot be erased in just a few words. You don't need to force yourself for grandpa. If you

I really can't forgive Jin Xi, then... forget it. If you don't really want to marry Jin Xi, then cancel the wedding. Grandpa wants you to be happy, and you are happy, grandpa will be relieved."

After listening quietly, Mu Qian clenched the hand of Mr. Huo.

"Grandpa, do you know?" she chuckled, "You are the best grandpa in the world."

...

Twenty hours later, New York, USA.

Huo Jinxi did not reserve much time to stay. After getting off the plane, he went directly to the signing site. After an hour of signing ceremony was completed, he got on the bus to the airport again.

This is a bit exhausting trip. It would be fine if the journey is smooth all the way, but I caught a traffic jam on the way to the airport.

The car didn't move for a long time, and Qi Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He was worried that Huo Jinxi would lose his patience because of this, so he couldn't help but look back at him secretly.

However, to his surprise, Huo Jinxi was not looking at the documents or paying attention to the road conditions. He just looked out the window quietly, almost lost his mind.

Qi Yuan also turned his head and looked out the window. There was a square next to it. There were not many tourists. A group of pigeons stayed on the ground of the square for food. A girl about three or four years old, wearing a red woolen coat standing among the pigeons.

Carefully spread the bird food in his hand to the flock of pigeons, looking cute and kind.

Qi Yuan glanced at him and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Huo Jinxi should have thought of the child that Mu Qian gave birth to this way?

He always felt that this boss was so cold and rational that he was almost robotic, but now it seems that this is not exactly the case.

Just as he was thinking this, Huo Jinxi's voice suddenly came from the back seat: "Go to Philadelphia."

Qi Yuan was stunned, and before he could come back to his senses, he responded quickly.

In northeastern Philadelphia, near the suburbs, there is a small cemetery.

The car drove into the parking lot, Qi Yuan got out, and looked at Huo Jinxi carefully, "Mr. Huo, I'll accompany you in."

"No," Huo Jinxi replied.

Qi Yuan didn't dare to say anything more, so he just nodded silently and stepped back.

Huo Jinxi walked into the cemetery alone with a bouquet of daisies in his hand.

The cemetery was not big. He walked past one tombstone after another, saw one name after another, and finally stopped in front of one tombstone in the northwest corner.

On the tombstone is a photo he is very familiar with, with a round face and a bright and dazzling smile.

Next to the photo is her name, in Chinese, Mu Yue.

Her name is Mu Yue and her nickname is Xiaoxiao, which represents her mother's hope for her life.

Huo Jinxi stood stiffly in front of the tombstone for a long time before bent down and put down the bunch of daisies in his hand.

Then, he squatted in front of the grave and gently touched the little face in the photo.

He always felt that things were done by man, and nothing could be done.

But facing this cold tombstone, he realized for the first time what powerlessness means.

There are many regrets and many guilt, nowhere to be told or compensated.

It stays in the past for a long time, but it runs through life quietly and becomes a void that can never be filled.

"Xiaoxiao." He murmured her name softly, and after a long time, he spoke again, "I am my dad."

Sorry, Dad is late.

...

When Ye Xi walked into the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers, he saw two bodyguards standing at the entrance of the cemetery.

The two bodyguards looked at her with a little guard. Ye Xi was too lazy to pay attention to it and walked in directly.

At a glance at the cemetery that could be seen to the end, Ye Xi saw the only person in the cemetery as soon as he entered.

The man squatted in front of Xiaoxiao's grave, and she could only see a figure on her back, but with such a sudden appearance and such a big pomp, she could only think of one person.

Ye Xi hugged the flowers and came straight to the tomb.

Hearing the footsteps, Huo Jin Xifang turned his head aware of it, and after seeing her, he slowly stood up.

Ye Xi glanced at the little daisy that Huo Jinxi placed in front of the tomb and placed the bouquet in his hand next to him.

The moment she saw Huo Jinxi, she had a lot of words, but she could hardly control herself and was about to gush out, but after putting down the bouquet of flowers, she seemed to suddenly lose her words and didn't know what else to say.

The two stood quietly in front of the tombstone for a long time until Huo Jinxi spoke softly: "Is she very well-behaved?"

Ye Xi's throat trembled suddenly. After calming for a while, she finally spoke: "Yes, she is very well-behaved and obedient. The aunt who took her said that Xiaoxiao is the best among so many children she has brought.

One. She didn't cry much, nor did she like to make trouble. Qianqian was busy with her studies at that time and didn't have much time to accompany her. She was actually very sticky, but Qianqian had no time, so she was very obedient and played by herself...



Huo Jin Xi'an listened quietly, through the smiling face in front of him, it seemed as if you could see her sitting next to Mu Qian, looking forward to her mother turning back and hugging her.
