The old things are like old scars that haven't healed in the heart. If you don't think about it, you will live in peace. Once you touch it, it will be bloody pain.

Warm liquid flowed from the corners of her eyes, someone was talking in her ears, Lu Qiao woke up from the nightmare, opened her eyes, and the servant at home, Aunt Chen, looked at her worriedly.

"Miss, why are you crying? Is it an old wound that hurts again?"

The past is not so easy to recall, and there is still some dull pain in the heart. Lu Qiao wiped away her tears, without showing any clues on her face, "It's nothing, just having a nightmare and being frightened."

There was faint music coming from outside, and Lu Qiao asked, "Is the banquet about to start?"

"Not yet, it will start in half an hour." Mrs. Chen said, "Miss, there is a gentleman looking for you outside, saying that he has something to talk to you about."

It should be her personal doctor.

Looking sideways at the corners of her red eyes through the mirror, Lu Qiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, I see, you go out first, and go down after I touch up my makeup."

"Ok."

Mrs. Chen gently closed the door, Lu Qiao took a deep breath, picked up the blush, and dazzled a rosy glow on her pale face.

With eyeliner on, bright red lips, and makeup, the haggard little girl in the mirror who was crying because of a nightmare suddenly turned into a charming queen who could smile calmly in front of landslides.

Lu Qiao raised her lips in satisfaction at the mirror, got up and went downstairs.

Downstairs stood a man with his back facing the direction of the stairs, with a tall and straight figure.

Lu Qiao's heart jumped inexplicably, feeling that it was very familiar.

The originally elegant steps under her feet were messed up, she hurried downstairs and walked in front of the man.

Seeing the appearance clearly, it was indeed the face that made her miss it day and night.

The man's suit is exquisite and charming, and the gentleman is elegant. Lu Qiao's mind was in a trance for a moment, but what appeared in front of his eyes was his appearance as a big boy in a school uniform, full of sunshine and vitality.

I haven't seen him for seven years, but he really hasn't changed at all, he still fascinates her.

Lu Qiao suddenly had the urge to cry, and she couldn't help calling his name, "Huo Yan..."

There was a three-point smile on the corner of Huo Yan's mouth, the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said politely: "Miss Lu, long time no see."

Long time no see, Miss Lu.

Lu Qiao's complexion suddenly paled.

When did he change his address, from the intimate address "A Qiao" among lovers to the distant and polite "Miss Lu"?
Returning from a lover to a stranger, and seeing you again, you are in a suit and leather shoes, and I am wearing heavy makeup, no longer the pure appearance of the past, standing at the right distance with a businessman's attitude, and saying, long time no see.

There was dense pain in his heart, Lu Qiao woke up from the past, and the corners of his lips curved just right.

"Long time no see, Mr. Huo."

She flicked her hair, "I haven't seen you for many years, Mr. Huo came to the door suddenly, what's the matter?"

"I want to discuss a business with Miss Lu."

Plain white fingers passed through the black hair, a faint hair fragrance wafted over, seductively tight, Huo Yan squinted his eyes, and there was an abyss without light at the bottom of his eyes.

"Business?" Lu Qiao raised his eyebrows.

"I heard that the Lu family has contacted Lin again recently, and wants to buy Lin's piece of land on Gumao Street."

Huo Yan stretched out his slender and fair fingers, pointed to Lu Qiao, and said, "The Huo family and the Lin family have a very close relationship, I can help the Lu family take this land, but in exchange, I want Miss Lu's A kidney."

The fingers around the hair tightened suddenly, and the two hairs were pulled down, causing her scalp to hurt. Her voice was soft and fluttering: "What did you say?"

"I want to exchange the land on Gumao Street for one of Miss Lu's kidneys."

Huo Yan didn't seem to know how bloody his words were. He smiled lightly and said, "The land in Gumao Street is sold for over [-] million yuan. Miss Lu's kidney can be exchanged. This is a big deal for the Lu family. A sure-fire business."
