After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

[Luo Xi, are you coming back for dinner tonight? Or are you staying with your mother-in-law? ]

Looking at the WeChat message sent by Zhao Jingchuan, Yun Luoxi's hand holding the phone froze and crystal tears fell again.

How to reply?

She didn't want to lie to Zhao Jingchuan.

But if Zhao Jingchuan knew that she was going to have dinner with Matt tonight, he would definitely be unhappy.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to tell Zhao Jingchuan the truth.

[Matt returned to China today and brought me a gift that I prepared for Sister Shu He. I want to thank him in person. We have an appointment to have dinner at a French restaurant tonight, and Lan Lan will be with us.]

Now she really considers Matt as a friend and has a clear conscience.

If a marriage has to be maintained by hiding things, there is no need to continue.

She can now face it calmly.

As for whether Zhao Jingchuan could let it go, she had no control over it.

I don't want to go left and right anymore.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yun Luoxi finally calmed down.

I took out a makeup mirror from my bag and saw that the right side of my face was a little red.

After applying two layers of powder with a powder puff to cover the red marks on her face, she drove to the restaurant.

On this side, Zhao Jingchuan looked at the WeChat message that Yun Luoxi replied to, feeling mixed emotions.

He threw his cell phone on the desk, stood up, walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

The smoke coming out of his mouth blurred his vision.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the smoke, he saw the Time Building opposite.

When the smoke in front of him dissipated, Zhao Jingchuan's eyes became clear again.

He quickly turned around, put out the cigarette in his hand into the crystal ashtray, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed Shi Ye.

"Brother Ye, are you busy?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Shi Ye's extremely magnetic voice came, with some surprise, "Brother Ye? Why did you change your name again?"

Zhao Jingchuan smiled and said, "You are one year older than me, so I should call you brother in private."

Shi Ye sneered, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Zhao Jingchuan was stunned, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face, even though Shi Ye couldn't see it.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment and paced back and forth in the office.

Seeing that Zhao Jingchuan was still silent, Shi Ye said again: "Don't tell me you can ask me for help if you have nothing to do. I don't believe it."

"You and Lanlan are indeed siblings. Your routines are the same, and you even show it more obviously than her."

Ever since he learned that Lanlan was the younger sister of their Zhao family, Zhao Jingchuan has never called him brother again.

She really treats him as her brother-in-law and dares to point fingers in front of him.

It would be strange if there was nothing wrong with calling me "Brother Ye" today.

Zhao Jingchuan scratched the back of his head, "What's the trick?"

Shi Ye said: "When you need it, you flatter people. When you don't need it, you make people feel out of your reach."

"Haha~" Zhao Jingchuan laughed dryly twice, "I'm not as snobbish as you say, I just have something I want to ask you."

"Then stop talking nonsense. I'm still working overtime."

"Are you in the group?" Zhao Jingchuan looked towards the Time Building across the street again. "I happen to be in my eldest brother's office. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Shi Ye said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"My eldest brother has returned to the Empire to personally plan the wedding, and the Haicheng branch has been handed over to me. There are some things I don't quite understand, and my eldest brother asked me to ask you if I have any questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Let's have dinner together later. I know a great French restaurant. We can talk when we meet."

"I'm busy." Shi Ye's tone was unkind, "Let's talk on the phone."

A trace of thought flashed across Zhao Jingchuan's eyes. "It's hard to explain over the phone, so let's talk in person. I heard Luo Xi say that she and Lan Lan like to eat at that French restaurant, so let's go and try it..."

"Send me the address." When Shi Ye heard that it was the restaurant that Gu Jinlan liked to go to, his attitude changed immediately.

The corners of Zhao Jingchuan's lips curled up into a smile, "Okay, see you later then."

At the same time, Shu Yi waited in the Huo family's reception room for a long time, but Mr. Huo did not come to see her.

A maid came over and said, "Miss Shu, my master may not have time to see you today, please go back."

Shu Yi asked: "Didn't you tell Mr. Huo that I came to visit him about Madam Shi's matter?"

The maid shook her head and said, "The master is painting, we can't disturb him."

Shu Yi frowned and said, "Then please tell me the reason for my visit. Mr. Huo will definitely meet me when he knows."

The maid hesitated.

Shu Yi's voice sank, "This is a very important matter. If it is delayed because you didn't pass on the message, you can't afford the consequences!"

"Then...then I'll try again." The maid turned and left.

In the huge study, Mr. Huo, who is over 70 years old, is holding a brush and painting seriously.

Even at home, he wore a high-end suit. His lean figure was very upright, without any sign of old age.

Her silver-white hair was meticulously combed into a slicked back bun, and she was impeccably groomed from head to toe.

The maid came to the study and said, "Master, Shu Yi who came to visit said..."

Mr. Huo gently raised his hand to stop the maid from continuing. His eyes were fixed intently on the pen, with a hint of displeasure at being interrupted between his brows.

The maid hesitated for a moment, then mustered up her courage and said, "She said she came to visit you about old lady Shi."

Hearing this, Mr. Huo paused and the ink spread on the rice paper.

Such a good painting was ruined just like that.

But there was no trace of anger on his face. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the maid with a pair of sharp and bright eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"..."

Mr. Huo immediately put down the brush in his hand, picked up the metal crutch beside him, and walked quickly downstairs.

When Shu Yi saw Mr. Huo coming, he quickly stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Huo. It's our first meeting. Sorry to bother you."

Mr. Huo raised his hand gently and motioned Shu Yi to sit down.

Then he sat down on the dark brown single sofa, holding the golden metal cane in both hands, and looked at Shu Yi with eyes flashing with the joy and excitement of a teenager.

"Did Manqiu ask you to come see me?"

Manqiu is the name of the old lady.

Shu Yi said: "It was not my aunt who asked me to come to see you."

The joy in Mr. Huo's eyes dimmed instantly. "So you said you came to see me about her. Did something happen to her?"

Shu Yi smiled and said, "My aunt is fine, thank you for your concern. I came to see you today, to be exact, because of the Shi family's affairs."

Mr. Huo frowned slightly.

He doesn't like the Shi family.

Shu Yi continued: "Mr. Huo should know that my aunt's favorite grandson is A Ye, right?"

Mr. Huo nodded and looked at Shu Yi inquiringly, waiting for her to continue.

"Aye has a son whose biological mother is unknown. The greatest wish of my aunt and Aye is to find the child's biological mother."

"I know about this." Mr. Huo nodded.

He once contacted Xiaoye and wanted to help Xiaoye find the child's biological mother, but Xiaoye declined.

Maybe it was because Manqiu didn't like him interfering in Shi's family affairs.

Shu Yi said: "I am the biological mother of that child."
