Reborn as a petite ex-uncle

Immediately afterwards, as if he had just woken up, Lan Ziyan immediately said, "...Oh, it's okay, I'm fine. Miss Laosu is concerned."

Su Mi noticed his reaction, but she was shocked.

An explosion occurred in the Jin family's mine. It is absolutely impossible for Lan Ziyan, as the most important old subordinate of the Jin family and the most powerful person around Jin Fengtai, not to know about such a big event.

It is even more impossible to be this kind of dumbfounded reaction at the beginning.

unless……

Nothing happened to the Jin family's mines!

Can……

Why did the second uncle lie to himself?

Why do you say that it was because of an accident in the mine that you were delayed for so many days and didn't come to Jingzhou to find her?

Is there any other reason that cannot be said?

But what could be the reason?

Since Lan Ziyan helped the second uncle hide it from her, even if she asked now, the other party would not tell her.

Without moving her eyebrows, she said a few words to Lan Ziyan, asked him to greet Jin Fengtai on her behalf, and then hung up the phone.

After putting down her phone, she fell into deep thought.

Maybe I encountered more than one strange thing today, and my mood was completely messed up.

First, an unknown "Miss Gu" called him frequently on his personal phone, speaking to him in a tone that didn't sound like a colleague or subordinate in the business circle, more like he had some special relationship.

Then, Uncle Lan almost slipped his mouth again, and the Jin family's minerals seemed to be fine.

She calmed down and went online.

Use the key words "M country, Jin family, minerals" to check.

Got nothing.

If something happened to the Jin family's mines, it would be impossible for the Internet to not report it at all, right?

Could it be that the Jin family suppressed it?

She called Ling Wanwan.

Ling Wanwan had already returned to Tancheng from a field interview at this time, and answered the phone: "Mimi? Do you need me?"

"Cousin, can you help me find out whether there was an explosion or accident in a mine under the name of Dato's Mansion in Country M?"

If something really happened, even if the Jin family suppressed it and prevented the media from reporting it, people in the news circle would definitely know about it.

Ling Wanwan didn't ask much: "Well, give me a little time."

While waiting for her cousin to reply, Su Mi inexplicably felt that every minute was so long.

On the one hand, she certainly hoped that the Jin family's mines would be fine, so that Huo Shenxiu wouldn't be so worried.

But, if it's really all right, it means that the second uncle lied to him...

why?

In less than 10 minutes, Ling Wanwan called back:

"I have contacted my counterparts in country M, and they haven't had any mine explosions recently. Even in the past 20 years, there have been no such big accidents in mines in this country."

Su Mi took a breath.

Ling Wanwan is a media person.

Knows a wide range of industry contacts.

If even she said that, then the Jin family's minerals were really safe.

It was really my second uncle who lied to me.

"Mimi, what happened?" Ling Wanwan wondered: "Who told you that something happened to the Jin family's mines?"

Su Mila thought back: "Maybe I made a mistake. Cousin, are you still at work at this time? I won't bother you, see you later."

After hanging up the phone and being in a daze for a long time, she picked up the phone again and called Huo Shenxiu.

I would like to ask, what happened to the Jin Family Minerals.

He was obviously fine, so why did he lie to himself that it was because of the mine explosion that he stayed in country M and did not return home.

But no one answered the phone.

She remembered that after lunch just now, he mentioned that he would go to see clients in the afternoon.

Maybe so, the phone is on mute, or it's not convenient to pick it up.

She also didn't want to disturb him when he was busiest, so she suppressed it temporarily.

……

In the evening, Su Mi had just brought Xiao Subao back to the Su family from the kindergarten, and received a call back from Huo Shenxiu.

"Mimi, did you call me this afternoon? Is there something wrong?" A man's warm voice came from the phone.

Su Mi thought for a while and said, "Second Uncle, have you come out of the company yet? I want to meet you."

I can't explain clearly on the phone, but I still want to ask him in person.

Huo Shenxiu was very satisfied: "I just met during the day, and want to meet again at night?"

In the beginning, I didn't even meet him.

When we met today, have you tasted the sweetness?

Su Mi didn't care about his teasing: "Well, I want to see how the wedding arrangements are going."

He didn't ask any more questions, and made an appointment with her.

Su Mi called Xiao Subao over, using him as a shield, said hello to Su Jinhang, said she was going for a walk with Xiao Subao, and went out.

The two made an appointment to meet in a small park in the middle of the street near Su's house.

Huo Shenxiu arrived early, got out of the car, and was waiting. When he saw Su Mi, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes and eyebrows. Then he saw the small light bulb following him, and his face collapsed:

"Why is he here too?"

Xiao Subao was very unconvinced: "If you didn't use me as a cover, you still want to see your woman?"

Su Mi rubbed her son's head: "That's right, it was Su Bao who helped to cover, or else brother would have to ask me where I was going in the middle of the night."

Huo Shenxiu pointed to the fitness equipment on one side, and signaled: "Go and play next to yourself."

Su Mi knelt down and touched her son's fleshy face: "Hey, go play, be careful, don't fall."

Xiao Su Bao obediently ran to the side.

The two sat on a bench.

Huo Shenxiu told Su Mi the progress of the wedding preparations.

Su Mi listened absent-mindedly, thinking about how to ask the best question.

It wasn't until he bent down, leaned in front of her, kept silent, and looked at her seriously, that she was startled and sat up straight:

"...What's the matter, Second Uncle."

Huo Shenxiu then whispered: "Should I ask you this?"

She knew that she couldn't hide any strangeness from him, so she said it straight: "Second Uncle, have you dealt with the Jin family's mine affairs?"

His eyebrows moved slightly, but he couldn't see the slightest surprise: "The Jin family is dealing with it. Are you in a daze because you are thinking about this?"

"Well, I suddenly thought of it... But why didn't I find this on the Internet?"

He was still calm, he just slid his hands to her delicate back of the neck, and hugged her back: "Do you think Dato's house will report this kind of thing to the outside world? Press it down."

"But can something as big as an explosion really be completely suppressed? My cousin said that her colleagues are completely unaware of it."

"That depends on who is suppressing it." The man's eyebrows remained calm, "Although the minerals are owned by the Jin family, they are also considered state-owned resources. If something happens, the image of country M will be damaged. The governor's office and the royal family are also helping to deal with the outside world."

Hearing what he said, Su Mi couldn't ask any more questions.

He has insisted that something really happened to the mine.

He hooked her little face and held it up: "Why are you suddenly worried about this?"

She said truthfully: "I called to country M today and asked Uncle Lan about Dato's physical condition. I also asked about the situation of the minerals. He didn't explain too carefully, so I checked it online afterwards. I checked, but I didn't find it. That's why I was curious and wanted to ask you."

"Assistant Lan called me and mentioned it, saying that you greeted Dato today." Huo Shenxiu brushed his thumb over the skin of her delicate chin: "I said, Dato is fine, don't worry. Just be your bride-to-be with peace of mind."

At this moment, Xiao Subao shouted childishly over there:

"Who will help me~~"
