C170 mutual communication
The guests left one by one. Huo Mochen and Lin Nuo stood at the entrance of the hall saying their goodbyes to the guests.
After sending off the last guest, Huo Mochen turned around and walked towards the side of the banquet without saying a word. He wanted to find a quiet place to rest. Seeing that Huo Mochen had left, Lin Xiao tactfully followed behind him without saying a word.
"Mo Chen." While walking, Huo Mochen heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw that it was his brother and sister-in-law. Huo Mochen's originally tired eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother!" Seeing Huo Moting, Huo Mochen perked up. Sister-in-law, you haven't left yet? " He quickly moved to Huo Moting and his wife's side.
"Oh, we were just about to leave when we saw you coming this way." Huo Moting's voice was cold and distant compared to Huo Mochen's. After what had happened between the two brothers and the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a while, there was a sense of unconcealable unfamiliarity between the two of them.
At today's engagement banquet with Lin Nuo, Huo Mochen would inevitably be unhappy in his heart. This time, when he saw his brother, he was unable to control himself and wanted to complain to his brother.
"Brother, do you have any other matters to attend to later?" If there's time, we two brothers should have a drink. "
"Alright, I have nothing better to do today, where can I go for a drink? You decide. " When Huo Moting heard that his brother had invited him to drink, it just so happened that they were in love. The two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, naturally, he had a lot to say.
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave Lin Nuo in your hands." Huo Mochen turned around and pulled Lin Nuo over to Gu Xiaoxiao's side.
Seeing that the two brothers did not become too distant, Gu Xiaoxiao was secretly happy in her heart. However, she discovered that Huo Mochen looked much more haggard and aged compared to the him of the past. Most likely, after Huo Mochen took over the Hawking Enterprise, he overworked himself.
"No problem, just leave Lin Nuo to me." On the other hand, the two of you, drink less wine and I will take Lin Nuo home first. After Gu Xiaoxiao finished, he led Lin Xiao out.
"Come on, let's go to the bar we used to go to. I saved a bottle of good wine there. " Huo Mochen sat in Huo Moting's car, and the two easily arrived at the entrance of the pub.
Two handsome men with long legs and thin waists appeared at the entrance of the bar, causing the female customers to be moved.
"Hurry up and take out the good wine I saved. Give us a quiet place." Huo Mochen said to the bar manager who was walking towards him.
After taking his seat, Huo Mochen took off his suit jacket and loosened the tie on his neck.
"How have you been?" Huo Moting couldn't help but ask the exhausted Huo Mochen.
"Brother, to be honest, ever since you left the Huo Family and I took over the Hawking Enterprise, I haven't been happy." Huo Mochen picked up his wine cup, raised his head and drank the wine.
"You know, I never liked doing business. After you leave, Dad will leave the Hughes affairs to me. But I'm not good at this at all, and the daily pleasantries and business pleasantries make me feel very tired. "
"But you're the son of the Huo Family. You'll have to get used to this sooner or later."
"Brother, previously, when you were here, I didn't have to worry too much about the matters of the Hawking Enterprise. Now that you have left, Dad really wants me to become the second you. "In terms of ability, I really can't compare to you. I had no choice but to be chased out of bed and put on a very stable look."
As Huo Mochen spoke, he poured himself another cup of wine. Huo Mochen had suppressed his emotions for too long, and finally had the chance to vent it out. Huo Moting simply ignored him and let him drink his fill.
"Ability isn't something that everyone is born with. When you just take over the management of a business, you will inevitably stumble a little. As time passes, you will become proficient at handling complex matters." At this moment, Huo Moting no longer had the estrangement that he had experienced at the banquet earlier. After all, he was his younger brother who had been growing up since he was young.
"Brother, you don't know." Everyone looks down on me because I am the youngest son of the Huo family. Furthermore, as you know, the elders on the board of directors will more or less obstruct my path, so I always feel that I am inferior. " Huo Mochen recalled the grievances he had suffered at the company and became excited.
"I did think of putting up a tough front, so I decided to quit and go out on my own, away from the Huo family. But I'm not strong enough. Even the house I live in is given to me by dad. I can't leave my home without control. " Huo Mochen was emotionally moved from his words, and he seemed to be on the verge of tears.
"What can I do? "I could only follow the path that my father arranged for me and barely managed to walk down the path." Huo Mochen raised his head again and drained his cup once more.
Huo Moting reached out and took the cup from Huo Mochen's hands, looking at the slightly drunk Huo Mochen, he could not help but feel helpless.
"Mo Chen, I understand everything you've said. I also like to see the carefree you of the past. However, the situation now does not allow you to lead a carefree life like before. Hawking Enterprise needs your existence, even if you don't like it. Your current predicament can only be resolved by yourself. "Think of the problems you are facing now as a kind of tribulation. After going through these difficulties, you will finally be able to truly grow up."
Back then, he would be chased by Huo Weihan to the Hawking Enterprise to manage it. But the difference with Huo Mochen, when it came to managing affairs of enterprises, was that Huo Moting had talent, so it was easy for him to do so.
Now that he was facing a new generation of competing forces, Huo Mochen had no choice but to take Huo Moting's place and manage the Hawking Enterprise. If the Huo Family did not have a young leader holding down the fort, they would very quickly be suppressed by the intense competition. Huo Moting had no choice but to advise Huo Mochen to continue persevering.
"Brother, today is my engagement banquet, but that Lin Nuo is not the person I want to marry. I am really envious of you, ah. Being able to marry someone I truly like, and seeing the loving look on your face with the Sister Xiaoxiao, I feel even more uncomfortable. "But Lin Nuo is already pregnant with my child, so I will definitely take responsibility for her." Huo Mochen stopped thinking about his work, but when he thought about his family matters, a new wave of sadness hit him.
"Brother, I'm doing something I don't like. I'm marrying someone I don't love. I feel that my life is really boring. Every day he was like a walking corpse, living would be too torturous. But I had to live like this. " Huo Mochen said that his family's businesses were not what they were, and wished that he could cry in Huo Moting's arms. If they suppressed it for too long, no one would be able to take it.
"Mo Chen, Lin Nuo really does like you. Perhaps in the future, you could try to cultivate a relationship with her. After all, it's already a foregone conclusion. It would be easier for two people to have a relationship with each other." Huo Mochen looked at his little brother who had been wronged, and felt that it was funny and painful at the same time.
"Brother, you're right. People always have to look forward. I will work harder!" Huo Mochen drank a little too much, and he was speechless for a moment. Head, his consciousness was about to blur.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxiao had already brought Lin Xiao back home.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, your family's layout is really beautiful, no wonder you are the chief designer of Motingo's company." The moment Lin Nuo entered the gates of Huo Moting's home, she sighed.
"Lin Nuo, you're too polite. Come, sit anywhere." Gu Xiaoxiao poured a cup of water for Lin Xiao and sat on her right side.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao." Lin Nuo obediently received the cup of water.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt a familiar feeling when she looked at Lin Xiao. Thinking back and forth, this Lin Xiao's style of dressing and words, seemed to be similar to Yuan Liluo.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at me for? I feel a bit embarrassed. " Lin Xiao realized that Gu Xiaoxiao was staring at her the whole time, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I just feel that you are very similar to a friend of mine. But unfortunately, my friend has already left. " Speaking of Yuan Liluo, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little sad.
Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao say that she looked like a friend of hers, Lin Xiao could not hold it in and his eyes reddened, "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you know? I saw Yuan Liluo's photo on Mo Chen's phone, she's that friend you mentioned? After seeing the photo, I knew that Mo Chen had yet to put Yuan Liluo down completely. " As he spoke, Lin Nuo's tears began to fall.
Gu Xiaoxiao immediately wiped away her tears for Lin Xiao, who had suddenly lost control of her emotions.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I really like Mo Chen. Even though I know that she can't let Yuan Liluo go, I still want to get close to him. I can't give him up. I won't like anyone else except Mo Chen. " Lin Nuo cried even harder.
"That day, I got drunk on him and dressed myself like Yuan Liluo. Indeed, Mo Chen, who was drunk, did not realize my plan. He thought that I was Yuan Liluo, that's why things happened with me later on. "
Lin Nuo cried as she told Gu Xiaoxiao what she had done before. Gu Xiaoxiao did not agree with her actions, but seeing Lin Xiao's sad appearance, he could not help but feel some heartache.
"But Sister Xiaoxiao, Mo Chen doesn't like me at all. Although I'm engaged to him, he's even colder to me than he was in the past. I was still too naive. I thought that if I was pregnant with his child and married him, Mo Chen would have me in his heart. "I'm thinking too simply. Mo Chen doesn't even have a place for me in his heart."
Lin Nuo was crying harder and harder. It seemed that she was not happy these past few days.
"Alright, Lin Nuo, now that you have reached this step. Since you are betrothed to Huo Mochen, you must live a good life in the future. You must take care of Mo Chen's daily life and marry into the Huo Family. Life has to go on, hasn't it? "
Gu Xiaoxiao found it hard to agree with Lin Xiao's method, but looking at how Lin Xiao was crying, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but try to persuade her.
"Hurry up and wash your face. Look, your makeup is already in tears." Gu Xiaoxiao brought Lin Nuo to wash up. Lin Nuo looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes swollen from crying.
"Sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be gone." Gu Xiaoxiao held Lin Xiao's hand and brought her to the guest room.
Gu Xiaoxiao stood by her bed and helped her tuck in her blanket. Looking at her extremely innocent and innocent face, she felt a sense of pity.
He sat by the side of the bed, quietly watching Lin Nuo ..
The door opened, and Gu Xiaoxiao, who was in a daze, was pulled back to reality. She shook her head, and became clear-headed in the blink of an eye, as she got up and went to the living room.
