Chapter 1308 From now on, our family will depend on you.
"Don't take it to heart. Don't let this affect you. Get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a new day."
Huo Yanchen's voice on the other end of the phone was deep and reassuring.
Huo Yanchen asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I was planning to eat at home, but after hearing about my cousin's situation, I've lost my appetite."
"What did I say above?" Huo Yanchen acted as the examiner on the spot.
"Huh? What did you say?" Jiang Manman didn't even notice.
Huo Yanchen repeated, "Don't let this affect you. Go eat when you're supposed to."
"I know, I'll go later. I need to calm down a bit first."
"Hmm." Huo Yanchen didn't say anything and hung up the phone first.
Then Huo Yanchen dialed his secretary's number, and the secretary answered quickly: "Mr. Huo."
Huo Yanchen said, "Go and investigate Luo Jing's matter, and see if she is really dead."
Huo Yanchen didn't take these people seriously. The reason he went to investigate this time was because of Jiang Manman.
Whether he lives or dies is not important to Huo Yanchen.
Perhaps he was born cold-blooded; he had seen too much death.
"Yes." The secretary immediately went to investigate the matter.
Huo Yanchen's team is top-notch in all aspects, and their strength is beyond doubt.
In less than half an hour, everything was clarified.
"She's not dead yet, but it's not much different from being dead. She offended Wu Ailan and her people, and they're the ones who brought her back, but they've announced that she's dead. Luo Jing's life is probably going to be tough from now on."
"How did you offend Wu Ailan?"
Huo Yanchen had certainly heard of these people and had some nodding acquaintances with them, but they weren't close.
Men love to have fun, and so do women; Wu Ailan is a famous example.
She's rich, her company is doing well, and her father's position is secure. She has a husband, but they each have their own lives and don't interfere with each other. She especially likes young and handsome men, and many minor celebrities have been with her. She's also very generous; as long as it makes her happy, she'll give her whatever she wants.
It's understandable if the man didn't want to offend Wu Ailan, since she was always very friendly to women. According to her, girls already have it tough in this world, and she always tries to be forgiving.
"It's because of Liang Chen." The secretary had investigated everything thoroughly, including the club's affairs.
Those matters were kept under wraps, but the Huo family still had some tricks up their sleeves.
The secretary told Huo Yanchen what happened that night. Huo Yanchen's eyes deepened. This Liang Chen was really stupid to be tricked by a woman like Luo Jing.
Huo Yanchen had no interest in what happened that night and told his secretary not to go into details.
"So Liang Chen hates Luo Jing to the bone, which is why he wanted to kill her. He probably begged Wu Ailan, and Wu Ailan took action."
Huo Yanchen said, "Alright, I understand. Send someone to keep an eye on Liang Chen."
He might go crazy.
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanchen checked the time and guessed that Jiang Manman was probably still frightened and might not be in the mood to eat.
Huo Yanchen didn't intend to tell Jiang Manman the facts he had found out. He just wanted Jiang Manman to misunderstand that Luo Jing was dead. If she knew more, Jiang Manman would find that the world was not so beautiful.
Huo Yanchen still hoped that she could live happily in her own world, without having to know about the deceit and treachery, or witness the darkness.
Growth truly comes at a painful price.
Huo Yanchen made another phone call, asking someone to deliver some vegetables, and then he went into the kitchen.
By the time I came out of the kitchen, it was almost midnight.
Huo Yanchen packed up everything he had prepared. It did take some time to make the soup, but the taste was quite good. Huo Yanchen thought it was better than the last time he made it.
After everything was packed, Huo Yanchen took his car keys and the lunchbox and went out.
……
Jiang Manman was still in her room. She searched online for the car accident and found that it was indeed true.
Jiang Manman went downstairs to ask her parents about the situation, but they didn't seem to be home. She wondered if they had left with her cousin and his family.
Jiang Manman sat in the living room and scrolled through her phone, completely forgetting about eating.
Then a message popped up on my phone. It was from Huo Yanchen and contained only three simple words.
Are you asleep?
Jiang Manman replied immediately after seeing the message: "No."
It's not that easy to fall asleep.
Huo Yanchen's message popped up again soon.
"come out."
Jiang Manman only sent a question mark.
Where are we going?
It's very late now, almost 11 o'clock.
Huo Yanchen said, "I'm at your doorstep."
Upon seeing these words, Jiang Manman disregarded everything else and immediately started running outside.
Huo Yanchen is actually at her doorstep! Is that for real?!
Jiang Manman ran out and saw the car parked in the distance. Huo Yanchen had been there for a while, and he was leaning against the car door. In the night, his tall figure was still so imposing.
Perhaps fearing that the Jiang family would find out, Huo Yanchen parked his car quite far away.
Jiang Manman ran over immediately: "Why are you here so late?"
"Aren't you cold wearing so little so late at night?"
Jiang Manman was wearing short sleeves. It was summer, so she wasn't cold, but the temperature was indeed a bit low with the evening breeze blowing.
"I didn't come out just because I received your message."
"Get in the car first." Huo Yanchen opened the car door for Jiang Manman.
The temperature here is quite comfortable, and Jiang Manman also smelled another scent.
"You ate in the car?" Otherwise, how could she have smelled the aroma of food?
However, it smelled really good. Jiang Manman, who originally had no appetite, suddenly became hungry after smelling it.
"I brought these for you." Huo Yanchen took out all the items and laid them out in front of him.
Besides the delicious food, there's also soup.
Jiang Manman looked at the food in front of her: ribs, chicken wings, some vegetables, and soup—a good mix of meat and vegetables.
"You brought this especially for me? How did you know I hadn't eaten dinner?"
Jiang Manman's eyes seemed to sparkle; she never imagined Huo Yanchen could be so thoughtful.
"You're so stupid, how could you not guess that?"
Although she was called stupid, Jiang Manman wasn't angry at all. She even smiled and said, "I may be stupid, but you're smart, that's all that matters. Our family will depend on you from now on!"
With Huo Yanchen around, she could live a life of leisure without doing anything and never have to worry about food or drink.
Jiang Manman is a very open-minded person. She doesn't pursue anything for a lifetime; she only seeks to enjoy the present moment.
Who knows how long a relationship will last? Maybe one day in the future, her feelings for Huo Yanchen will fade. If she divorces Huo Yanchen then, she will definitely get a lot of money, and she will have no worries about food and clothing.
Jiang Manman now cherishes her life, because she feels that if she were to start over, she definitely wouldn't be as fortunate as she is now.
