Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

Unexpectedly, the call was connected within a few seconds.

A cold voice came from the other end: "Who is it?"

Listening carefully, there is a hint of anxiety in the voice.

I don’t know what happened, but just hearing the voice made Zhou Ning’s nose feel a little sour. Holding back the sobs, she answered softly, “It’s me, Zhou Ning.”

The person on the other end was visibly stunned for a moment before asking where she was.

Zhou Ning spoke truthfully and hung up the phone.

When I returned the phone to Chen Yuan, I met his puzzled eyes.

Zhou Ning didn't say much, just thank you.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Who did you call just now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning lowered her head and picked at her nails.

"I see there's a man on the other end of the phone. He sounds quite young. He shouldn't be your father, right?" Chen Yuan continued to ask cautiously.

The atmosphere inexplicably became awkward.

Chen Yuan noticed it and laughed dryly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You were frightened tonight, so you must have a good rest. You still have to participate in the competition tomorrow. I really hope you can get good results."

After hearing this, Zhou Ning was about to nod when a dazzling light came from not far ahead.

She followed the light and saw a car driving towards them quickly. As it got closer, the light became more and more dazzling.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but squint his eyes and couldn't see the license plate for a while.

Seeing the car approaching them, Chen Yuan subconsciously grabbed Zhou Ning's arm, pulled her to the side, and said, "Be careful."

Zhou Ning took a few steps back and stood firm.

The car stopped in front of them.

Zhou Ning smelled something unusual, and when he saw the car clearly, his eyes changed.

It had only been a short while since she hung up the phone, but she didn't expect Huo Qingzhou to come so soon, making her feel like the man had been waiting nearby.

The car door opened and a tall figure came into view.

Chen Yuan looked at it curiously, and when he saw the luxury car worth tens of millions suddenly parked in front of him, he was shocked.

When he saw the man getting out of the car, he was even more surprised. The aura emanating from the man was so strong that he looked like a powerful character.

He felt it was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but his brain had short-circuited and he couldn't remember where it was for a while.

Even though he was shocked, he did not associate this man with Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning, like him, was a student from an ordinary family, whose background was even worse than his. It was impossible for her to know such a powerful and wealthy boss.

But when he saw the man's eyes fall on Zhou Ning, he realized something was wrong.

The man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and they became even darker when they fell on his hand that was holding Zhou Ning's arm.

Chen Yuan was shivering with cold, and out of fear, he immediately let go.

Zhou Ning also stood there awkwardly. Somehow, she felt that Huo Qingzhou was freezing cold, with a chill all over his body.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Huo Qingzhou's cold voice came first: "Get in the car."

It was a commanding tone that did not allow for any refusal.

Zhou Ning had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Just as she was about to move forward, Chen Yuan felt something was wrong. He mustered up the courage to grab her arm and asked anxiously, "Zhou Ning, who is he? If you don't want to get in the car, don't go."

He looked worried, fearing that Zhou Ning might be in danger.

Huo Qingzhou caught a glimpse of his action and his eyes were filled with horror.

Just as Zhou Ning shook her head and wanted to explain to Chen Yuan, he took a step forward with his long legs, walked over, dragged her directly towards the car, and pulled her into the car.

After closing the car door, Huo Qingzhou looked at Chen Yuan coldly and said in a cold voice: "It is not your turn to interfere in our affairs."

Chen Yuan's lips trembled and he stood there in a daze, panicking for a moment.

Although he was worried that Zhou Ning would be in danger and wanted to do something, the aura of the man in front of him was too strong and he was no match for him at all.

Huo Qingzhou didn't stay for long, got into the car directly and slammed the door shut.

The dull sound made Zhou Ning tremble slightly.

The atmosphere in the car was tense.

Zhou Ning's heart was also tense the whole time. Sitting next to Huo Qingzhou, she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

The car drove quickly towards the school gate. She picked at her nails and tried to think of her words.

Suddenly, Huo Qingzhou stopped the car on the side of the road.

Due to inertia, Zhou Ning's body couldn't help but lean forward, his heart skipping a beat. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Huo Qingzhou impatiently tugging at his tie.

His cold voice echoed in the car: "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Zhou Ning continued to pick at her nails nervously. When she opened her mouth to explain, the man spoke first in an unpleasant tone, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

He had called the girl many times before, but no one answered.

His mood was naturally affected.

Zhou Ning lowered her head and answered in a low voice: "My phone is broken."

Huo Qingzhou sneered: "Do you think I believe it?"

How could the new phone he just bought for Zhou Ning break down in such a short time? He quickly concluded that this was a lie Zhou Ning deliberately made up.

His eyes gradually became sharper, and what he hated most was being deceived by others.

"Zhou Ning, I didn't expect you to be so bold. It's ok to hook up with others outside so late at night, but you even dared to lie to me. I warned you a long time ago that you were here to continue your studies, not to hook up with questionable people."

The cold words, like swords, pierced directly into Zhou Ning's heart.

Her heart ached, especially when she heard the word "hooking up".

She was already in a bad mood today and was very tired, but she had been holding it in. She considered herself a strong and optimistic person and believed that everything would pass.

It was just hard to hear Huo Qingzhou say these misunderstandings about her. Her emotions seemed to have hit a critical point, and bitterness surged in her heart.

Holding back her tears, she angrily took out her cell phone and placed it in front of Huo Qingzhou.

"I'm not lying! My phone is indeed broken. I accidentally dropped it, so I can't contact you at all."

Huo Qingzhou looked at her broken phone screen, his expression slightly stunned.

Zhou Ning's voice was hoarse: "The reason why I didn't go home so late was because the door of the dormitory was broken and I couldn't get out at all. It was only because Senior Chen Yuan found me by chance that I was able to get out. Otherwise, I would have to stay in there all night and couldn't even participate in tomorrow's competition.

You don't understand clearly, so why do you conclude that I'm having an affair outside? "

She didn't think much about it for a moment, and as her emotions got aroused, she vented all the resentment and pain in her heart.

As for not telling the truth, it was Yang Man who did it on purpose, and Zhou Ning had her own considerations.

She knew that it would be useless even if she said it, Huo Qingzhou would not help her.

Even if I show mercy and help her this time, what about next time?

One day they will be separated. He can protect her for a while, but can he protect her for a lifetime?

She can only rely on herself.

Although sometimes she would have ridiculous thoughts and want to rely on Huo Qingzhou, for example, when she saw Huo Qingzhou getting out of the car before, she really wanted to go over and hug him aggrievedly.

But seeing the fierce gaze directed at her, she was forced to stop.

She knew that Huo Qingzhou was never someone that others could easily rely on.

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage became as quiet as dead water.
