The love is so deep that Mr. Gu is crazy

"Sir, Madam, what would you like to drink? Our new product 'Love Coconut' has a couple's package of drinks and desserts. Would you like to try it?"

Before the two of them sat down, the proprietress came over to take the order in a familiar manner, obviously misunderstanding the relationship between the two.

Huo Mingcheng seemed to have no reaction to this. He casually pointed to a cup and pushed the menu in front of Shen Li.

Shen Li politely thanked the proprietress: "Thank you, just give me a glass of warm water."

The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they looked so well matched but they were not a couple. The proprietress looked at them with some confusion, then turned and left.

"The matching results are out."

Huo Mingcheng spoke calmly, and Shen Li became nervous, staring at the person sitting opposite him.

After a pause, Huo Mingcheng lowered his eyes. His silent sigh and sad expression had already told Shen Li the answer.

Shen Li's tangled hands fell limply, and the little starlight that had just ignited in his eyes dimmed before it even bloomed.

"how come···"

The proprietress quickly placed the prepared coffee and warm water on the table.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Huo Mingcheng nodded slightly and thanked him: "Thank you."

He took a sip of the coffee in front of him and found it a bit sour and astringent, not very tasty. He spoke calmly.

"I heard from Xiaoyu that you two have been... dependent on each other for these years. You have been taking care of him when he was sick, and you even went to get a blood test right away. Thank you."

As he said that, he took out a black gold card from his pocket and pushed it in front of Shen Li.

The black and gold card with a cold glow lay quietly where he could see it by lowering his eyes, and Huo Mingcheng's cold and steady voice was in his ears.

"This is just a little personal gift from me. I hope Miss Shen won't despise it. Fortunately, Xiaoyu met you, so she is not...homeless."

Shen Li chuckled, and gently took the thin card between his slender fingers. He flipped through it with interest, his tone calm.

"Wow~~ the legendary black card. I remember he and I used to joke about it, saying whether it was really that powerful that we could just wave it and buy the whole mall like in the TV series."

As Shen Li spoke, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, his clear eyes staring at the card in his hand, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Boss Huo, how much money is there in this? Is there a limit? How much do the Huo family, or Boss Huo, think the 14 years of the Huo family's grandson are worth?"

Huo Mingcheng didn't say anything, but gently stroked the smooth wall of the cup with his fingertips.

Shen Li lowered his eyes slightly, not really wanting to get an answer from the person opposite him, as if he was recalling the past.

The tone sounds light and flirty.

"It's really strange. There is always such a boring lesson in elementary school composition. Write an essay on "My Family" with no less than 300 words. I wonder what Mr. Huo wrote when he was a child?"

"I still remember the 9-year-old Chen Ping'an. I wrote about Grandpa Chen, who made grasshoppers for him with unknown grasses on the roadside and sold the old hens that laid eggs at home to buy him new clothes."

Shen Li spoke very calmly, and his gentle tone made people seem to be able to get a glimpse of the kind and gentle old man from just a few words.

"The year he was admitted to high school, he took me to see my grandfather, whom he had talked about for so many years. The old man was just a handful of yellow soil in the fields, and the grass on his grave was so deep that it almost buried him."

"That kid, who didn't say a word even after breaking his arm, cried for the first time. His eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them."

"I hugged Grandpa Chen's grave and told him over and over again not to worry in heaven, saying that he would be protected by his sister. He was only 14 years old, but he acted like a little adult..."

Huo Mingcheng remained silent, listening quietly to Shen Li talking about the daily life that Chen Pingan had never mentioned and that the Huo family could never investigate.

Shen Li's eyes focused and his gaze moved from the black and gold card in his hand to Huo Mingcheng's face.

With a crisp "pop" sound, Shen Li gently placed the card in his hand in front of Huo Mingcheng.

"I, as his 'sister', can no longer protect him. Fortunately, he still has blood relatives alive who will protect him, right?"

Huo Mingcheng's deep eyes rippled as he stared at the pair of eyes in front of him that were clear and filled with earnestness and expectation.

His expression was somewhat moved, and he slowly said, "Of course."

Hearing his affirmative answer, Shen Li's lips curled slightly, "I should go back."

"I'll take you there." Huo Mingcheng stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill before saying to the person behind him, "Let's go."

On the way, Shen Li couldn't help but ask him the truth about why Chen Ping'an was stranded outside.

"Ping An... that's Xiao Yu. Sorry, I'm still not used to his name. Why would the Huo family's child be raised in the countryside by Grandpa Chen?"

Huo Mingcheng tried his best to suppress his anger. He gripped the steering wheel with his knuckles and said in a deep voice, "The human traffickers kidnapped him. The child got scared and had a fever. He was crying and making a fuss. They were afraid that they couldn't feed him or that his brain would be damaged and he couldn't be sold for a good price, so they abandoned him halfway."

"We only learned about this after the traffickers were caught two years ago. As for how the old man ended up in Grandpa Chen's home and died after being raised there, no one knows."

"After all, he was just a child under 3 years old at the time, so he probably can't remember it."

As soon as they got the news, the Huo family checked all the children of similar age in all the villages around where the child was abandoned.

I don’t know if it was because it was too long and the human traffickers remembered the wrong place where they dumped the child, or because time has passed, but in the end, nothing was found.

Shen Li clenched his fists and his chest heaved violently.

If it weren’t for the damn human traffickers, Chen Ping’an wouldn’t have had to wander around for nearly 20 years.

He will be a sunny and cheerful big boy with a good family background and a family that loves him.

Maybe you won’t get sick.

Damn the human traffickers!

After sending the people back to the hotel where the crew was staying, Shen Li bent down and thanked the people in the car softly.

Huo Mingcheng looked at the white bag neatly placed on the passenger seat, inside which lay a beautifully wrapped gift box and a black gold card.

His deep eyes darkened as he looked towards the figure that had long disappeared at the hotel entrance.

After a while, the assistant knocked gently on the car window, bringing him back to his thoughts.

Huo Mingcheng unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and sat in the back seat. The car started and soon disappeared in front of the hotel.

*

The atmosphere in the hotel room was not very good.

Xie Xiaoqin's helpless sighs became louder and louder.

"Ping An's life story is so rough! He was kidnapped by human traffickers, and thrown away halfway because he had a fever because they were afraid they couldn't keep him alive. He was picked up by you and brought back to the orphanage after Grandpa Chen died. I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate."

"This child is clearly the child that the Huo family has raised with their heart and soul! And yet..."

When it comes to Chen Ping'an's illness, Xie Xiaoqin paused and asked, "What should we do if none of the Huo family members are suitable for the model?"

Shen Li lowered his eyes and looked out the window. He had been here for more than half a month, and the autumn atmosphere had become more pronounced. The leaves outside were a little yellower than when he first came.

"There will be a way."

After cheering himself up, Shen Li picked up the script on the bedside table.

"Come on, play with me, and finish the work as soon as possible so that we can return to Kyoto!"

On the second day, as soon as Shen Li arrived at the scene, the director pulled Shen Li aside and asked her indirectly about her relationship with Huo Mingcheng.

Shen Li only vaguely said that he had seen it before.

The director has very sharp eyes and won't be fooled easily.

"Just met?"

Seeing the director's eyes full of doubt, Shen Li smiled awkwardly.

"I've met him a few times. He wanted to sign with the entertainment company under the Huo Group, but Mr. Huo didn't like him and personally rejected him."

The director's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Shen Li and frowned.

"I shot you personally?"

Shen Li looked sincere and said, "Yes, in person. The company's top executives are all here."

The director touched his chin and said to himself: "This shouldn't be..."

What Shen Li said was indeed true. He wanted to verify it and could just ask someone he knew and he would find out. When he saw that Shen Li didn't continue to ask, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, the director is a cautious person, and his attitude towards Shen Li has changed dramatically since Huo Mingcheng came.

It's no longer like before, when people would curse at every turn.

Fortunately, Shen Li also worked hard and made rapid progress that was visible to the naked eye. The staff in the same group saw it and naturally did not have too many doubts about the director's 180-degree turn in attitude.

After filming the last scene, Shen Li was considered finished.

During this period of time together, the director looked at her with a little more appreciation.

"Xiao Shen, you have worked hard during this period. Keep up the progress. I am optimistic about you."

Shen Li curved her eyebrows and bowed: "Thank you, Director. Thank you for your careful guidance during this period. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

A few words made the director smile, and after a simple photo shoot, everyone continued to work. Shen Li also prepared to pack up and return to Kyoto!
