Chapter 248 A Good Hand Played Wrong
Sweetie, who was so excited to meet her great-grandmother and great-grandfather today that she went to bed late last night and fell fast asleep as soon as she got in the car, was completely unaware of this.
Meanwhile, Huo Sili, who was busy tidying up his appearance at the Huo family's old mansion, was undoubtedly even more unaware of the situation.
"How is it?" Huo Sili straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair, and looked at the stylists who had come to Plum Garden that day.
The stylists all gave a thumbs-up, nodded approvingly, and said earnestly.
"So handsome! Mr. Huo, you're incredibly handsome! Don't worry, if you go out to meet the person you're supposed to be wearing this, I guarantee they'll be completely captivated by you!"
Those who can get along well in high society circles are all smooth talkers.
Huo Sili glanced at the speaker. In the past, he probably wouldn't have listened to such blatant flattery.
But at this moment, it cannot be denied that these words gave him some confidence.
Realizing this, Huo Sili's thin lips curled slightly as he looked at himself in the mirror.
A laugh surfaced again, a self-deprecating laugh.
A winning hand, played terribly.
He wasn't talking about anyone else; he was talking about himself.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot afford to mess up on this crucial day.
"Are you sure everything's okay? He Xu, check behind me."
Standing behind Huo Sili, He Xu reiterated, "Mr. Huo, perfect, perfect in every way."
Horst seemed satisfied at this point.
"Okay, settle their wages, I'll go over there first."
He Xu responded with a "yes," and Huo Sili picked up his phone, glanced at the time, and hurried out of Meiyuan.
The shuttle bus that had been arranged to pick us up was already parked at the entrance.
As Huo Sili got into the car, he did something that would have likely puzzled Huo Sili in the past.
I used my phone, with the screen off, to look at my face.
In fact, he can objectively judge his own face; it is definitely not the face of a thirty-year-old.
He had been exercising for the past three years, and before he knew she had faked her death, he was thinking of recovering as soon as possible so that he could avenge her.
After learning that she had faked her death, he spurred himself on, realizing that if he truly lost his charm, he would lose a major asset that could win her back.
Treat others with beauty, and love will fade when beauty fades.
Huo Sili never imagined that one day he would personally experience the panic that comes with hearing those words.
When the car stopped in front of the old house, Tian Tian was still asleep.
Jiang Qin looked down at Tian Tian and called out softly. Tian Tian stirred, her eyes still closed.
I still look sleepy.
The rear door was gently pulled open; it was the butler, Zhou Fu.
Jiang Qin unbuckled her safety harness and carried Tian Tian, along with the thin blanket covering her, out of the car.
The maid next to them was very perceptive and covered the umbrella with it.
Today's snowfall wasn't as severe as yesterday's.
But it was still snowing lightly at that time.
"There are gifts that Tian Tian and I prepared for Grandma and Grandpa in the trunk of the car. Could you please take them?"
"Yes, Second Young Madam, you're too kind. I'll go get it right away."
Zhou Fu went over, opened the trunk, and took out several gift bags.
The group entered the old house through the gate.
This side, on the fifth floor of the main building, is the study.
Huo Sili sat on a leather armchair, but instead of holding a book, he held a tablet computer.
The images on the computer were none other than surveillance footage from the front gate of the old house, showing the entire route.
Huo Sili's gaze was fixed on Jiang Qin, who was carrying Tian Tian as she entered.
His gaze was glued to Jiang Qin's face.
She was wearing a long coat, and her sweetie was wrapped in a fluffy little blanket.
She seemed to be asleep, nestled obediently on her mother's shoulder.
Noticing this, Huo Sili's eyes softened even more. Just then, Jiang Qin in the video seemed to notice the surveillance camera and suddenly looked in its direction.
Over the radio, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
Even though he knew she definitely couldn't see him, for a moment, Huo Sili's pupils contracted, and he could still hear his heart pounding excitedly.
The elevator doors opened on the third floor of the main building.
Jiang Qin carried Tian Tian, who was still a little groggy and had been woken up by the music playing automatically in the elevator, into the room.
The old lady and old man, who had been waiting, brightened up and quickly went to greet them with smiles.
"Qinqin, Tiantian, you're here!"
Sweetie turned around from Jiang Qin's arms, saw the two elderly people, smiled, and called out obediently.
Hello, Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa!
