Chapter 523: She Went to See Him
Huo Jingxiu’s mother, Jiang Hui, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying.
Wen Ruan looked at the old lady beside her in confusion and asked in a low voice,” Grandma, why is she here?”
Old Mrs. Wen sighed and said,” The Huo Family’s business failed some time ago and went bankrupt. Huo Mingwei even got into a lawsuit. The moment something happened to the Huo Family, those who used to curry favor with them all avoided them. Jiang Hui had no choice but to come to me for help!”
“I don’t have much of a relationship with her. We’ve only met at a few banquets. Even if she begged me, I couldn’t agree to it. Besides, her son treated you like that in the past. I was about to chase her away when you came back!”
Wen Ruan looked at Jiang Hui with a complicated expression and pursed her lips slightly.” Grandma, don’t chase her away yet. I want to talk to her.””
When Jiang Hui saw that Wen Ruan had returned, it was as if she had seen her last life-saving straw. She hurriedly stood up and walked towards Wen Ruan.” Xiao Ruan is becoming more and more prominent. I almost didn’t recognize her.””
Wen Ruan asked Old Madam Wen to go to her room to rest. She sat on the sofa and looked at Jiang Hui calmly.” Mrs. Huo, we’re not that close. You should just call me Miss Wen!””
Jiang Hui’s expression changed, but she was no longer the arrogant noblewoman she used to be. She nodded awkwardly.” Yes, yes, Miss Wen.””
“Grandma told me about your family. Are you in urgent need of money now?”
Jiang Hui nodded hurriedly.” Miss Wen, please help our family for Jingxiu’s sake.” If we can’t fix the loophole, Jing Xiu’s father and I will go to jail.”
“For Huo Jingxiu’s sake, I’m already kind enough not to kick him when he’s down.”
Jiang Hui lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Wen Ruan looked at Jiang Hui, who was in low spirits, and said slowly,” You have no other choice. Have you not thought of a solution with Huo Jingxiu?””
“I did. He gave me a person’s phone number, but I couldn’t get through to that person’s number.”
Wen Ruan’s heart skipped a beat. Could the person’s phone number that Huo Jingxiu provided be the mysterious person’s?
“Mrs. Huo, can I see your number?”
Jiang Hui took out her phone and showed Wen Ruan the number.
The number showed that it was from Nedu, but when he dialed it, it was no longer in service.
Wen Ruan’s chest began to beat violently. It seemed that he was certain that the mysterious person was in Nedu!
“Mrs. Huo, if you can convince Huo Jingxiu to tell me all the clues he knows about this person, I will help you fill in this loophole.”
After Jiang Hui left, she contacted Wen Ruan the next afternoon.
Huo Jingxiu agreed to meet her.
Wen Ruan saw Huo Jingxiu through the glass.
Compared to the last time she saw him, he looked even thinner. He was only in his twenties, and his chin was full of stubble. His eyes were lifeless and bleak.
Wen Ruan did not sympathize with Huo Jingxiu at all. She thought of the pain he had caused her in her previous life and felt that he had suffered a lot.
At the same time that Wen Ruan was sizing Huo Jingxiu up, Huo Jingxiu was also sizing Wen Ruan up.
Wen Ruan was wearing a mint-green windbreaker today. Her long, smooth black hair naturally fell over her shoulders. She had some makeup on her face and her skin was as fair as snow. She was so pure and beautiful that water could be squeezed out.
In contrast to him, the current Wen Ruan had become more and more beautiful. The cold and elegant temperament on her body made her exude confidence and elegance from her bones.
She raised her clear deer eyes and looked into his dull eyes.
Huo Jingxiu’s thin face showed a hint of self-mockery. When she used to chase after him, he had always looked down on her.
But now, she had become the unattainable one.
Wen Ruan was not in the mood to catch up with Huo Jingxiu. She went straight to the point.” Your mother should have told you why I came to see you, right?” You’ve already become an abandoned child. Why don’t you reveal the information to me? That way, I can help your family!”
Huo Jingxiu frowned and looked at Wen Ruan with confusion.” How did you know that I have someone backing me?””
“You don’t have to ask about that. You just have to tell me what you know.”
Huo Jingxiu was silent for a moment.” Every time we meet, he wears a mask and his voice is lowered. I can’t describe his appearance.” But once, I accidentally saw an eagle tattoo on his back.”
“How tall is he?”
“More than 1.87 meters!”
“Is the phone number the one you gave your mother?”
“Yes.”
Wen Ruan nodded thoughtfully.” I understand.””
Huo Jingxiu looked at Wen Ruan, who was about to leave, and stopped her.” Ruan Ruan.””
Hearing him call her Ruan Ruan, Wen Ruan frowned unhappily.
“Are you still with him?”
Wen Ruan naturally knew who Huo Jingxiu was referring to.
“My business has nothing to do with you.”
“Ruan Ruan, all these years, I’ve been unable to understand why you were so passionate when you pursued me back then. Why did you suddenly dislike me and fall in love with Huo Hannian in your third year of high school?”
Wen Ruan had already stood up from her chair. She looked at Huo Jingxiu with a calm expression and said coldly,” You don’t deserve to know.””
Without saying another word to Huo Jingxiu, Wen Ruan turned around and left.
Looking at Wen Ruan’s back, Huo Jingxiu’s eyes gradually turned red.
If he had discovered Wen Ruan’s good side earlier and had not been instigated by others, would her heart still be with him?
Wen Ruanyun kept Jiang Hui’s promise and helped her family tide over the difficulties.
After spending two days at home with the old lady, Wen Ruan went to look for Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu and her mother were still living in the countryside with the little shell. The mother and daughter had built a yard filled with flowers and plants. It looked warm and beautiful.
The little shell looked even cuter. Her fair and tender skin, big eyes like black grapes, and small mouth looked very much like Ye Qingyu.
With the little shell by her side, Ye Qingyu’s mood improved day by day. She rarely thought about that terrible and failed marriage.
When she saw Wen Ruan coming over, Ye Qingyu took the initiative to cook and prepared a table full of dishes.
Wen Ruan was happy for Ye Qingyu when she saw that her body and mind had recovered.
“Yu ‘er, Yiman is looking for a spokesperson. I recommended you to my mother.”
Now that Wen Ruan had gone to the capital, Yiman’s company was basically run by Yun Zang.
Although Yun Zang’s designs were designed for ladies, Wen Ruan’s designs were more youthful and could be endorsed by Ye Qingyu.
When Ye Qingyu heard this, her beautiful face revealed a hint of surprise.” I haven’t had any activities in the industry for more than a year. I’m not popular enough. Yiman’s reputation has already risen in the country. Isn’t it a bad idea to ask me to be her spokesperson?”
“Why not? You’re young, beautiful, and fashionable. You’re very consistent with my design philosophy.”
Ye Qingyu knew that Wen Ruan was trying to help her. Otherwise, with Yiman’s current popularity, she could totally afford to hire a big star.
Ye Qingyu hugged Wen Ruan, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes.” Ruan Ruan, thank you.””
