Chapter 595

    

er cheeks were flushed red, filled with shame and embarrassment, her eyes also red-rimmed as if she was about to cry.But he knew she wouldn't cry, her temper was as stubborn as ten oxen couldn't pull..."Why are you transferring money to me" Huo Mingzheng got straight to the point.

On the phone, a woman's melodious voice came, "I checked on Baidu, and Dr. Cheng's house call diagnosis fee is 2,000 yuan."

"Have you asked for it"

"Even though you didn't ask, I should have offered it to you anyway. There's no need for you to spend money on something unnecessary."

Huo Mingzheng supported himself on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand, as if doing so would ease the heat swelling in his chest. It proved to be useless; a single word from Fu Yan could kill him, and everything he did was futile.

He finally relented halfway, sighing with a coaxing tone in his voice, "Yan Yan, take the money back."

Fu Yan didn't agree and hung up the phone directly.

Ho Mingzheng listened to the busy tone coming from his phone and smiled wryly.

Before, with her such a bad temper, he always wanted to put her in her place. But now, where would he dare to do that

He released his hand that was supporting himself on the glass, straightened his back, turned around and threw his phone on the desk. He picked up the lighter and cigarette box beside him, lit a cigarette.

Smoke drifted on the glass, and he tilted his head slightly, gazing at the faded windowpanes bathed in sunlight, so close he could almost reach out and touch them.

Fu Yanjian's 'Ox'.

Initially, I just casually pasted it on without applying much glue. However, after being exposed to the sun, this window decoration seemed to have merged with the glass and could no longer be peeled off.

If you force it, you'll only destroy it.

It wasn't until late at night that Huo Mingzheng finished handling the few urgent documents in his hands.

A knock on the door came from outside. Huo Mingzheng coldly said, "Come in."

Cao Yuan came in, and Huo Mingzheng immediately smelled the gunpowder. Even though Cao Yuan had taken off his coat before entering, the smell lingered as if a bath wouldn't get rid of it.

Huomingzheng frowned slightly, "Where did it come from"

Cao Yuan had been with Huo Mingzheng for many years and knew his temper well. Although his emotional intelligence wasn't as high as Cao Fang's, he could still tell that Huo Mingzheng's mood was off tonight.

Besides, his older brother had reminded him when they were going upstairs just now not to bother Mr. Huo if there was nothing important.

He said, "I've had barbecue," without changing his expression.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized he had been to the night market's porridge shop and taken out Cantonese porridge, which also carried the scent of fireworks. There was no reason to say anything about Cao Yuan.

He leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette. Cao Yuan glanced at the ashtray, there were several cigarette butts in it.

Xia Xia said, Miss Fu will go to Guli Welfare Institute tomorrow.

At last, he added, "The source is reliable."

Ho Mingzheng's hand holding the cigarette froze, and the next second he extinguished it, got up, picked up his phone from the table, opened WeChat, and took the money Fu Yan had transferred.

“Tell your brother to prepare some gifts for the children and say it’s from their elder sister, Yan Yan.”

Although Cao Yuan didn't understand the connection between buying a gift and paying for rouge, he nodded to indicate that he had taken note.

Huo Mingzheng walked out of the study, he followed him, only to see Huo Mingzheng walking towards the master bedroom, pushing open the door, and the next second, the door closed.

Cao Yuan went downstairs but didn't see Cao Fang. After asking the servants who were still working, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Caofang is cooking supper, "Wait for me a moment, it will be ready soon."

I have eaten.

Cao Fang turned back, incredulous. "Have you eaten yet"

Cao Yuan is used to eating what he cooks, even snacks and late-night meals are prepared by him.

I have rarely solved problems on my own.

Cao Yuan frankly admitted: "I had barbecue with Xiaxia."

Cao Fang held the cold ingredients in his hand, and his heart felt as cold as ice.

It's a pity that he didn't live up to expectations.hat night, the image of her running frantically in the street came back to him.From despair and helplessness, to a glimmer of hope igniting in her eyes, it was a breathtaking sight that imprinted itse...
