"Old..." Xiao Cui just walked to the door and opened her mouth to say hello, but Old Man Huo turned back and stopped her. Xiao Cui didn't say the words that were on her lips.

When did this old man come? Why did he start eavesdropping on other people's conversations?

After staring at Mr. Huo, Xiao Cui lowered her head and thought to herself.

"Come with me." Old Master Huo turned his head to look inside the house, then looked back at Xiao Cui and whispered.

Xiao Cui nodded and reluctantly followed Mr. Huo into the bedroom of his villa halfway up the mountain.

How unlucky I am! I met the old lady as soon as I went upstairs.

Following Mr. Huo, Xiao Cui kept complaining about her bad luck in her heart.

Mr. Huo has a strange temper and often does unexpected things, making everyone in the villa a little afraid of him.

Fortunately, he doesn't usually live in the villa halfway up the mountain.

The old man just went back a few days ago, why is he here again, and so late? Is he planning to attack the young master?

Recalling the experience some time ago when Mr. Huo lived in the villa and made everyone terrified, Xiao Cui couldn't help but shiver.

She hoped in her heart that Mr. Huo would leave soon.

While he was daydreaming, Xiao Cui had already followed Mr. Huo to his bedroom.

The moment she saw the other party close the door, Xiao Cui had the illusion that she was doomed. It seemed that the old man would not let her leave unless she explained some problems tonight.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Cui was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"Who is the woman accompanying Zihao?" Sure enough, after Mr. Huo came in and sat down, he couldn't wait to ask about Xiao Cui.

"She is Miss Mu, a good friend of Miss Jingjing." Xiao Cui looked at Mr. Huo sincerely and answered.

"Jingjing's friend, then why did she come to the villa and have such a good relationship with Zihao?" After hearing Xiao Cui's words, Mr. Huo became even more confused.

"Some time ago, Master Zihao had an accident. Miss Mu happened to be with Miss Jingjing, and was brought back to the villa by Miss Jingjing. Unexpectedly, Master Zihao fell in love with Miss Mu at first sight and insisted that she come to the villa to accompany him twice a week."

"The young master felt sorry for Young Master Zihao, so he agreed to his request." Xiao Cui told the truth and roughly explained the whole story to Grandpa Huo.

"Was it Zihao's idea to let her come to the villa?" Mr. Huo continued to ask.

Xiao Cui nodded, her face full of sincerity.

Although Xiao Cui could see that Huo Beichen also liked Mu Ningxi coming to the villa, after her first visit, she even specially ordered someone to decorate a room filled with brand new women's products.

There was no way Xiao Cui would tell Mr. Huo about these things.

After all, Xiao Cui knew clearly who paid her salary every month.

Moreover, as a servant, not discussing the master's affairs casually is the most basic professional ethics.

"What is Beichen's attitude towards her every time she comes?" Although Xiao Cui didn't want to say it, Mr. Huo was unwilling to let her go.

"The young master is often not at home and seldom meets Miss Mu." Xiao Cui said evasively.

What I said was quite true. The young master rarely returned to the villa during this period. Miss Mu did not see the young master during her two recent visits.

After answering Mr. Huo's question, Xiao Cui said to herself.

"Just because they rarely meet doesn't mean they have never met before. Did they have any unusual behavior when they met?" Obviously, Xiao Cui underestimated Mr. Huo's insight.

Come to think of it, the man who was able to create the Huo Group is not so easy to fool, even if he is old.

Hearing this, Xiao Cui was shocked.

Forcing herself to calm down, Xiao Cui responded in a calm tone: "When they met, they just greeted each other and did not have much contact."

After saying that, Xiao Cui looked into Mr. Huo's eyes, trying to prove that she was not lying.

Looking back at Xiao Cui for a moment, Mr. Huo nodded thoughtfully.

Why has this old man always been targeting Miss Mu? He wouldn't think that the young master rejected the marriage he arranged because of Miss Mu, right?

Before, Lian Yiyi, the marriage partner arranged by Grandpa Huo for Huo Beichen, came to the villa several times. It was from her that Xiao Cui and the others learned about the marriage arranged by Grandpa Huo for Huo Beichen.

All the servants in the villa halfway up the mountain disliked the unruly and willful Miss Lian.

Later, when they heard that Huo Beichen had cancelled his engagement with the other party, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they thought about having to serve such an unreasonable young lady in the future, the servants broke out in a cold sweat.

Now, seeing that Mr. Huo kept asking Huo Beichen about his attitude towards Mu Ningxi, Xiao Cui naturally thought of the marriage.

Xiao Cui liked Mu Ningxi very much and didn't want to see her being embarrassed by Mr. Huo, so she instinctively began to protect her.

"Go back and don't tell anyone about what happened tonight." Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Mr. Huo told Xiao Cui to leave.

Xiao Cui nodded and quickly walked out of Mr. Huo's room.

When she walked out of the room, Xiao Cui realized that her palms were full of sweat.

Looking at the door closed by Xiao Cui, Mr. Huo recalled the conversation between them just now and nodded unconsciously.

Given that brat's personality, it is possible that he would be very cold to Miss Mu as Xiao Cui said.

Over the years, Huo Beichen has not had any close friends of the opposite sex, not even any female friends. Old Master Huo saw it and was worried, and was even more worried that Huo Beichen had a problem with his sexual orientation.

For this reason, Mr. Huo did not hesitate to resort to forced marriage in order to get Huo Beichen to get married.

Unexpectedly, the suitable person he had found with great difficulty failed to become his granddaughter-in-law.

After being deeply shocked, Mr. Huo adjusted his mentality and prepared to make further efforts and continued to introduce suitable marriage partners to Huo Beichen.

Who would have thought that this kid would become less obedient than before and avoid him.

There was no other way, so Mr. Huo had to launch a surprise attack, hoping to meet Huo Beichen and talk to him face to face.

Old Master Huo was thinking about something, and suddenly he remembered that when he had asked someone to investigate Cheng Jingjing's accident, his subordinates reported that there was indeed a girl named Mu who had been in the accident with her.

It seems that this Miss Mu is indeed Jingjing's good friend and has nothing to do with Beichen.

Thinking of this, Mr. Huo believed even more what Xiao Cui had said before, that Mu Ningxi and Huo Beichen had nothing to do with each other.

I glanced at the time on my phone and it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.

That brat probably already knows that I'm at the villa and won't be back tonight.

Mr. Huo smiled bitterly, opened the door and walked out.

Unable to wait for Huo Beichen, Mr. Huo decided to go home.

After dinner the next day, the driver took Mu Ningxi home.

The driver suddenly stopped the car halfway through the journey.

Just as Mu Ningxi was stunned, she saw the driver open the car door and walk out.

Following the driver's figure, Mu Ningxi saw a Rolls-Royce parked on the opposite side of the road.

The driver was standing next to the car, saying something into the window.

Mu Ningxi looked towards the car window and her eyes met the gaze of an old man.

Could this person be Huo Beichen’s grandfather?

Thinking of the driver's actions just now, Mu Ningxi began to doubt.

Thinking of this, Mu Ningxi smiled faintly and nodded at the other party.

In response to Mu Ningxi's goodwill, the old man opposite just stared at her motionlessly, with no reaction on his face.

It seems that this is not an easy person to talk to.

Mu Ningxi commented on Mr. Huo in her heart.

As for Mr. Huo on the opposite side, after seeing Mu Ningxi's appearance clearly, although he did not react on the surface, his mood began to fluctuate.

Such a beautiful woman can't make Beichen moved. It seems that there is something wrong with his mentality.

No, I must speed up and let Beichen get married earlier, so that I can put my mind at ease.
