Mr. Ji's old love and new wife

Chapter 165 The Man Behind Me
Huo Yichen saw me when he turned his head, he had a smile on his face, and walked towards me.

I hurriedly lowered my head to wipe away my tears, adjusted my mood and looked at him.

"Back?" he asked softly.

I nodded.

"How is work?"

"Very good, there is not much pressure, and the colleagues are very enthusiastic."

Huo Yichen smiled relievedly after listening.

I ignored Qiu Fei who was following, and said, "Is Xiao Mian okay?"

Huo Yichen slightly lowered his eyelids, and said lightly, "It's okay."

During this period of time, I heard that Xiao Mian's situation was not very good, and Huo Yichen was also in a bad mood, so I never planned to tell him the truth about me.

After all, to him, Xiao Mian is his relative.

Nangong Jianglin came out and said he had a call for Huo Yichen to answer. I saw that Nangong Jianglin's face didn't look very good, so I wanted to follow Huo Yishen in, but was stopped by Qiu Fei.

"The colleagues are very enthusiastic? Shen Lingzhi, you can act too well, right?"

I frowned and looked at her.

Qiu Fei nodded triumphantly, and said with a smile: "You don't understand what they talk about behind your back every day, do you?"

I stared at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Fei didn't hide it at all, and said: "Yes, I told them that you are a vixen who likes to steal girlfriends and boyfriends, and the big house you live in now is because you were adopted by someone!"

I finally knew that my colleagues didn't alienate me, they clearly looked down on me and disdain to be with people like me.

Qiu Fei was still laughing: "Don't be naive, this is not Jiangcheng, and none of your friends are here. If you are not convinced, you go and tell Yichen, Yichen promised that sister Qianshu would not stop me from appearing beside him, so I Not afraid of you."

I was so angry that I raised my hand and gave her a hard slap.

She was caught off guard, and I slapped her on the left cheek impartially.

But she reacted very quickly, and quickly raised her hand to call back. I grabbed her hand directly and pushed her away forcefully.

Qiu Fei staggered back a few steps, then stood still, looked at me, and said coldly: "Shen Lingzhi, don't be too arrogant, Sister Qianshu is coming to Hong Kong, let's see how she will deal with you then!"

I was taken aback.

How did Mrs. Ji come back to Hong Kong so well?

She was a little proud: "It seems that Yichen didn't tell you, but it's true, because of Xiaomian's affairs, Yichen has been very busy these days, how can he take care of these things. Mr. Huo's birthday is about to come, and everyone in Ji's family will Come on, including... President Ji."

Ji Shaoyi...

As if something stung my heart, he can always touch my heartstrings so easily.

Qiu Fei said again: "At that time, you won't be cheeky to go to Huo's house together to celebrate Mr. Huo's birthday?"

I didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore, so I pushed her away and walked in.

Huo Yichen just finished the phone call, he looked back at me with a smile, and asked softly: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Auntie to prepare it."

I have no appetite.

After thinking about it, I finally asked him: "Your father...is it going to be a birthday?"

As smart as Huo Yichen, he naturally understands my real intention when he hears my question.

He came over, motioned me to sit down on the sofa, stared at me and said, "My sister and the others live at my parents' house and won't come here, don't worry."

I lowered my head and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Yichen said again: "I didn't tell you, I thought maybe you didn't want to know about it. You just stay here and don't need to meet them."

It turned out that he had arranged everything.

I forced a smile and nodded, recalling Nangong Jianglin's face when he asked him to answer the phone, I couldn't help asking him: "Just now...was it the hospital's call?"

He looked down at his phone, shook his head and said, "No, our convoy transporting medicines in Tibet encountered a small landslide and some people were injured, but the situation is under control now."

Six years ago, Xiao Mian also happened on the way of medical assistance.

It's hard to imagine that after so many years, Huo Yichen still insists on this road.

I was a little nervous and asked, "Why did you choose to do charity?"

Huo Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Xiao Mian once went to support education. I just graduated at that time, and I just went to see her. I can't believe that there are people who go to school with such difficult conditions, even I couldn’t even afford the most common antibiotics and cold medicines. I was touched at the time, but I couldn’t stop after doing it.”

"You and Xiao Mian are both good people." I felt a little regretful when I said that, I'm afraid Huo Yichen would think of something like "good people don't get rewarded".

Fortunately, he didn't care.

…………

The next day, I stood downstairs in the company for 5 minutes, turned around and left.

10 minutes past working hours, the manager called.

She scolded me right from the start, and finally said that a mainlander like me only knows how to get rich and doesn’t want to work hard by herself. She is shameless, so the company decided to fire me.

She hung up after cursing.

Originally, I planned to write a letter of resignation tomorrow, but when she said that, I felt terrified.

I called back directly, and the manager picked up. This time, she spoke in Cantonese, which I couldn't understand, but I knew she was scolding me.

Because of Qiu Fei's rumors, people's words are scary.

I don't explain, because I know that explanations have to be believed.

I held the phone, and when she got tired of scolding, I asked calmly, "Do you know who I'm standing next to?"

She did choke.

I said again: "I have no intention of resigning. I hope that the company will quietly take back the words of dismissing me. When I go to work tomorrow, please treat me with a better attitude from my colleagues. After all, I have no intention of suing."

On the other end of the phone, the manager's breathing was clearly heard, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.

I dare not even ask me who the man behind me is.

After hanging up the phone, I was very relieved.

I drank a cup of cold drink in one breath on the side of the street, and I gradually calmed down. Thinking of the reality, the previous dark feeling gradually disappeared.

Even if I still go to work, my colleagues dare not talk about me anymore, but I will never really fit in with them.

This is not the life I want, not at all.

After wandering aimlessly in unfamiliar streets alone for a long time, I was tired and sat down in a flower bed by the side of the road to rest.

I stared blankly at the cars coming and going, watching the pedestrians talking and laughing, as if I was the only extra part outside this picture.

Later, by accident, I saw a hand-painted poster hanging on the corner of the street.

The drawing skills are not very good, but it can be seen that the painting is very hard.

It's a poster about public welfare. Because of Huo Yichen's relationship, I couldn't help but walk over and take a second look.

It says design a school for kids for free.

I didn't think much about it, just looked for the address and went.

Surprisingly, the address turned out to be the headquarters of Doctors Without Borders, so I hesitated to call the number on the poster.

The person who answered the phone came out quickly. She looked about my age, a girl.

As soon as she saw me, her eyes sparkled, and she rushed over quickly, looking me up and down, over and over again.

I felt very uncomfortable being looked at by her, so I asked awkwardly, "That...you are Miss Shen?"

As if she just came back to her senses, she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I am Shen Mei. Don't call me Miss Shen, just call me by my name! What do you call me?"

"Oh, Shen Lingzhi." I held out my hand.

She grabbed my hand and said excitedly: "My family, we were one family 500 years ago!"

such enthusiasm...

It made me think of Shen Yi unconsciously, and made me feel...very kind.

I smiled intently.

"Ling Zhi." Shen Mei called my name easily, and then asked me, "Did you just come to Hong Kong? Mainlander?"

I frowned: "How do you know?"

"Oh, I guessed it, feeling! Haha." Shen Mei looked at me with twinkling eyes, "Look at you, you're from Jiangnan, right? You look like a gentle little girl, Tongcheng? Jiangcheng?"

This frown...was so enthusiastic that it seemed a little scary.

I pulled my hand out, so I could only say: "Well, I came here after seeing the school design draft. Was it sent by your organization? But why is it written by you?"

Shen Mei seemed to have just come back to her senses, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, yes, I am Doctors Without Borders, but that was not sent by the organization, it was indeed me. A friend of mine was teaching in the mountains and said they got a donation from a boss. , to help them rebuild the elementary school, so she wanted to find someone to produce a design draft."

It turned out to be the case.

I smiled: "Let me paint, tell me your friend's request, I graduated from architecture."

Shen Mei smiled immediately: "That's great! Then..." She looked down at the date and said, "Is it okay to publish the first draft in three days? It happened to be Saturday, so we could have a good chat, mainly because my friend also I'm in a hurry."

I agreed.

…………

The next three days were the happiest three days after I came to Hong Kong.

I go to work during the day, and I catch up on the draft at night.

Although it is free labor, but I can't express the satisfaction in my heart. After losing Ji Shaoyi, I feel that I am still a useful person for the first time.

Finally it was Saturday morning, when I went downstairs, I saw Huo Yichen packed up and ready to go out.

When he saw me, he was a little surprised: "Why don't you go to bed later on weekends?"

I hurriedly said: "Oh, I drew a picture for a friend I just met, and I'm going to give it to her. Are you going to the hospital?"

Huo Yichen hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Go to my parents' house, my sister and the others are here."

I just remembered that Huo Zhengnan's birthday is tomorrow.

Then today, Ji Shaoyi also came together, right?

"Lingzhi..."

Huo Yichen walked towards me, I raised my head and tried to smile, interrupted him and said: "I'm fine, then I'll go out first."

He followed and said, "I'll ask Uncle Lin to see you off."

"No, you are busy with your work, I have already made friends, don't worry about me."

Huo Yichen finally didn't force it.

…………

Shen Mei was waiting for me at the door early, and she seemed extremely excited when I arrived.

I want to show her the picture.

She hurriedly said, "No hurry, no rush, you know? I'll take you to meet someone first."

I blurted out, "Who is it?"

Shen Mei paused, and said with a smile: "You will know when you see it!"

Without waiting for me to ask again, Shen Mei directly pulled me in.

She stopped outside an office.

I saw her quickly adjusted her smile, took a deep breath, and pushed me in the moment she opened the door, shouting happily: "Captain Ji, surprise!"

Season captain?
I have heard this name from Gu Ruo.

The tall man standing by the window slowly turned around...

I was stunned, I thought I would avoid him if I didn't go to Huo's house.

But I never thought that Ji Shaoyi would appear here!
