C295 Difficulties
When the servants at the door saw Huo Mochen coming back, they all called him Second Young Master, but they all had strange looks in their eyes. After all, it was disgraceful for Gu Ruqin to run away with a man, as Huo Mochen was already used to it.
"Did my brother come back?"
The servant nodded, "The eldest young master came back to look at the third young master, then he went back to his room and did not come out."
Huo Moting rarely returned to this place, and even if he had something on his mind, Huo Moting would usually just return to report before leaving. Since he had grown up and became like this, Huo Mochen felt that something must have happened.
"Bro, what's wrong? Are you going to open the door?"
Huo Mochen heard the sound of something landing on the ground, and then, Huo Moting walked out of the house. He was wearing a bathrobe, and obviously, he had just finished showering.
"Brother, what happened to you?"
Huo Mochen saw the medicine box on the table as soon as he entered the room, as well as the paper stained with blood in the trash can.
"I'm fine. I had a small accident when I came back just now."
"Where are you hurt?" Huo Mochen started to look up and down while holding Huo Moting's shoulder, and in the end, made Huo Moting laugh. He reached out and flicked Huo Mochen's forehead, "What are you doing, are you trying to create your brother's rebellion?"
"Brother, why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
"It's just a small wound, do you think your brother is Lin Daiyu? Didn't I tell you to go see dad?"
"I'll go take a look. Dad's doing very well right now, the Aunt Lan has been taking care of him. I think their relationship is very good right now."
There was no change in Huo Moting's expression, and although Huo Weihan was his father, he could not change it. However, the treatment that he and his mother had received over the years had made it impossible for Huo Moting to have too much of a father-son relationship with Huo Weihan.
"Come in, don't stand at the door." Huo Mochen followed Huo Moting inside. Huo Moting's house was still the same as before, with no changes whatsoever.
"Brother, sister-in-law asked about your situation. She saw that something was wrong with my face, but I didn't tell her about your body, but I've probably told her about our Huo family's situation."
Huo Moting nodded his head, "Xiaoxiao is too smart. It's good for you to tell her a little."
"Brother, tell me the truth, are you not feeling well?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with me right now. It's probably because I've been sleeping less recently."
"Bro, do you know how scary your current appearance is?"
Huo Moting did not say a word. Huo Mochen also fell silent, "Mo Chen, if it was because of me that implicated the Huo Family, would you blame me?"
"Brother, why do you ask?"
"Bei La will not let this go easily. If we, the Huo Family have more Bei La family to suppress us, I have no confidence in defeating them."
"That woman is too unreasonable. Did she threaten you?"
"I'm sorry, I can't solve her problem."
"Bro, what are you talking about? Did she threaten you with sister-in-law again?"
Huo Moting nodded his head, "Now that our Huo Family has fallen, many people wanted to divide up between us, or else they would be watching the show.
"Brother, it's okay, I really can't .."
"Mo Chen, I won't allow that to happen, but if I .."
"Bro, tell me the truth, did you hurt your body when you helped your sister-in-law last time?"
Huo Moting didn't say anything, but Huo Mochen had already guessed most of it.
"Brother, why don't we give up?" I know that Bei La's family is very strong, we simply don't have any way to fight them. If you insist on resisting, what will happen to your body? I've been hiding a lot of things from my sister-in-law.
"It's not as serious as you say." Huo Moting was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "What I wanted to say was, if I did not have the ability to become the President of the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, what should I do?"
"There won't be that day."
Looking at Huo Mochen's determined gaze, Huo Moting smiled slowly, "You look exactly the same as when you were young."
Huo Mochen's heart was filled with worry. He had the nagging feeling that Huo Moting was not like how he looked on the surface. There must be a lot of things that were hiding from him.
"Mr. Zheng, look. Xiao Xiao really likes the cello. Can you just follow me for a while? After a while, Xiao Xiao will go and participate in the competition and I will personally send you back."
"It has always been the students that have come to me for lessons and not for me to go over to the students' place. Xiao Yu, even though your father and I are good friends, I definitely do not agree with this matter. It is definitely not a matter of money."
"Mr. Zheng, I'm begging you. Xiao Xiao has no way of leaving that place right now, so I can only come and beg you."
"Who the hell is that girl?"
Tang Yu hesitated, "She's my friend."
"It's just your friend, why do you care so much? I see that the mister who played the piano with her last time was that Miss Xiaoxiao's boyfriend? "
Tang Yu nodded her head, "Yes, that's right. Mr. Zheng, my wanting to help her has nothing to do with whether he is my girlfriend or not. As you can see, her cello is definitely played by someone with a soul. As long as she plays, the surrounding people will be uncontrollably quiet down. Everyone appreciates her music very much, so I beg you to help me.
"Then why didn't he come personally?"
"He has a lot of things to do right now, but he doesn't dare to tell Xiao Xiao. He hopes that Xiao Xiao can continue playing the zither, so that's why he asked me to do it."
"You like that girl too?"
This time, Tang Yu stayed silent for a bit longer, but in the end, he still admitted it, "Indeed, it's like that. However, love follows one another, I still hope for her to be happy.
In the end, the Mr. Zheng still nodded his head, "On your account, I will agree. If Gu Xiaoxiao does not win the prize, I will be very disappointed."
Tang Yu happily bowed to Mr. Zheng, who shook his head, "Do you really think she knows how to treat that girl like this?"
Tang Yu shook his head, "She doesn't need to know about this."
"Good boy, you're quite an infatuated person. You'll definitely meet a girl who likes you in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng." Tang Yu thanked him.
After settling this matter, Tang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Gu Xiaoxiao could continue playing the zither, this was not only Huo Moting's wish, it was also his wish.
He was the same as Huo Moting. As long as Gu Xiaoxiao was happy, then nothing was important.
Gu Xiaoxiao was still absent-minded when she tried to practice the zither. Qin Ran was a little worried, "Xiaoxiao, you have been listless recently. If you continue to be like this, you will get sick."
"It's fine, what's wrong with me? Sitting at home every day, the wind won't even blow. "
"Xiaoxiao, why don't we go out and relax?" Qin Ran suggested, "It's really boring to always be at home. Now that Madam Qin is not at home, it's true that it's boring for you to be alone."
"Qin Ran, I've been dreaming lately, my dreams have always been filled with bad things. Tell me, is something going to happen?"
"Xiaoxiao, I think you're just too nervous. Furthermore, Mr. Howe isn't by your side right now, so you always like to think too much about it. If you go out with me for a walk, you might get more relaxed."
Gu Xiaoxiao still shook her head, "I don't think there's any point in going out, let's just forget about it. Of course, I think we should still go to Mo Ting's side, I'm still worried about him.
Qin Ran nodded his head, "What you said makes sense, but isn't Mo Chen helping the Mr. Howe?"
"Mo Chen is still a newcomer, but I've helped Mo Ting manage the company's affairs before, so I can help him. I'll go look for him now."
Qin Ran had not realized before that Gu Xiaoxiao had a personality that referred to wind as rain, "You haven't had lunch yet."
However, Gu Xiaoxiao had already left the room, and Qin Ran did not know what was going on.
When she reached the company, Gu Xiaoxiao realised that there were not many people left. Indeed, it was as Huo Mochen had said, the situation was serious, and once she found Huo Moting's office, she could faintly hear the sounds of people entering the house.
"Brother, our West Side's business has been attacked. Someone wants to buy that piece of land, and they even have clear procedures for that. If our West Side doesn't have any more projects, then we really won't have any other choice."
"I know." Huo Moting's voice was very tired, "It must be Bei La; only her family has this kind of ability."
"Then what should we do now?"
"I don't know either. There's nothing I can do."
"I'm going to look for Bei La." Huo Moting grabbed onto Huo Mochen who was about to rush out, "There's no use in you looking for her, Bei La has always been like this, there's simply no way to stop the things she knows, I did offend her this time."
"Brother, don't say that, I .."
Gu Xiaoxiao who was outside understood, she walked out of the company and sent Bei La a message.
Huo Moting and Huo Mochen who were in the house did not know that Gu Xiaoxiao had heard all of this.
Coffee shop.
Bei La looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who was seated opposite of him and sneered, "I heard that Miss Gu's cello has been playing quite well lately, and is about to head off to participate in the tournament?"
Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, the attendant by the side asked politely, "Young miss, may I ask what you want to drink?"
"Just give me a glass of water." Gu Xiaoxiao said, "Bei La, I came here today to talk to you about Mo Ting."
"Huo Moting, he has nothing to do with me, I wonder why Miss Gu would ask about him." Bei La picked up his coffee cup and slowly took a sip, "Miss Gu, why does your face not look good? But I've seen Mr. Howe once a few days ago, and his complexion seems to be even worse."
"Bei La, if you are being honest, even if you do not help Mo Ting, at the very least, do not make things difficult for him at a time like this."
"Miss Gu, this has nothing to do with you, right? Furthermore, I have never cared about the affairs of the company, let me think if there's anything related to Huo Moting in the past few days." Bei La slowly revealed a smile, "I remember now, my brother seemed to have told me that the West Side has a project that is extremely suitable for our company's development, so my brother bought it here at a high price."
"I forgot to tell you, my brother went through formal procedures. I don't think there are any loopholes. Does Miss Gu want to talk about this?"
"Bei La, since you like Mo Ting, you shouldn't treat him like this."
