Chapter 890: Chapter 892-Arriving as scheduled
“No need. I don’t need company. Besides, your sister-in-law often comes here to accompany me. Yaoyao, just focus on your own things. Don’t think too much. You just have to remember that the Huo family will always be your backing, so don’t let yourself be wronged. If there’s anything, just tell Ling and let him help you.”
With that, Mrs. Hunt sighed heavily.”Yaoyao, just leave Lin Qin’s matters to your two younger brothers. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Old Mrs. Hunt had long known what kind of woman Lin Qin was, what kind of personality she had when Dajian was still around, and how she treated her children after Dajian passed away.
Even though Mrs. Hunt had been watching all those years, and she almost couldn’t help but ask someone to step in. Especially during Li Muyao’s college entrance examination. In the end, Mrs. Hunt had done so much for her grandson and Dajian. In the end, she held back and continued to watch as a guest.
Fortunately, all the opportunities came as expected!
Li Muyao actually had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Old Madam Huo, but she could tell that she didn’t really want to say anything. After all, after learning the truth today, Li Muyao had a bold guess. Was her father and Old Madam Huo planning something long ago and it happened to be related to her? Of course, Li Muyao’s previous thought that she was a book transmigrator in the colorful fur world was also rejected at this moment.
The metaphysics of China was indeed mysterious. It had existed for thousands of years, which meant that many things that science could prove had really happened.
Li Muyao didn’t even mention what Old Mrs. Huo had mentioned about Lin Qin and her two younger brothers. Instead, she asked about her father.
However, Mrs. Hunt was still able to remind her as if she knew everything.
Li Muyao imitated Old Mrs. Huo and sighed heavily. She replied in an obedient and timid manner,”Okay, Grandma Huo. I’ll listen to you. I hope you can recover soon and return home. Then… Am I hanging up?”
“Okay, hang up. Girls should sleep early. Don’t think too much. Everything is destined.”In the end, Old Mrs. Huo still gave Li Muyao this catchphrase.
When she hung up the phone, Old Madam Huo did not move for a long time until the guardian behind her called her with a worried voice. Only then did Old Madam Huo turn around and return to her old lady appearance.
Da Jian had used his own life to exchange for his daughter’s life, so he naturally had to be rich, noble, and lucky. How could he be tainted by a woman like Lin Qin?
Mrs. Hunt took a few steps and returned to the phone to call her disappointing old son.”I don’t care what you’re doing now. Go to Pinglan County and help Dajian solve the problem with that woman surnamed Lin. Just like before, don’t let anyone know. Don’t be stubborn with me. The only right thing you’ve done in your life is to live until now.”
As soon as Huo Aiguo hung up the phone, his daughter Song Xiumei, who was only a few months old, woke up from the next room. She came over and asked with concern,”Honey, who’s calling in the middle of the night? You don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell again? Hubby, you might be busy now. My daughter and I have to rely on you to support us.”
” It’s fine. It’s just that the company has given me a temporary business trip. I feel a little sad when I think about being separated from you and my daughter.”The old man’s lies were like sweet nothings.
Song Xiumei was so happy that she even slapped Huo Aiguo’s chest.””Sigh, hubby, we’re already dozens of years old. Why are you still talking about this? Alright, I’ll help you pack your luggage. Don’t worry, it’s not the first time you’ve gone on a business trip. You’ve been like this for the past five to six years. I’m already used to it. Go and come back early. My daughter and I will miss you too.”
“Alright.”
Huo Aiguo watched Song Xiumei leave the study. The smile on his face immediately changed into a heavy and sad expression. He even lowered his head and wiped the corner of his eyes. If it weren’t for him, his good brother wouldn’t have died.
Huo Aiguo, who owed two lives, really didn’t dare to die.
It was alright. He had a chance to redeem himself.

Li Muyao had been tormented for so long, but she still couldn’t fall asleep. Who asked her to think that her rebirth was just an accident of good luck? Now, it seemed as if something had been manipulated. However, after it was related to the person she loved the most, it was difficult for Li Muyao not to guess if some of the things that happened in her previous life were also wrong?
At this moment, Li Muyao thought of Huo Jiling.
After all, in Li Muyao’s previous life, Huo Jiling was just a name and a symbol. It only existed in the words her father occasionally mentioned when she was young.
The most important keywords were all ones that Li Muyao didn’t like, such as ‘betrothed to”betrothed to”fiancé’ and ‘the outstanding Huo Jiling won’t acknowledge Li Muyao’s betrothal’ especially the last one. Li Muyao still remembered that Lin Qin always had a complicated expression when she mentioned Huo Jiling’s betrothed to.
This was why when Huo Jifeng and his wife came to Pinglan County to ask Lin Qin to cancel the engagement, Lin Qin only told Li Muyao that her biological mother had canceled the engagement after it was over.
Then, he repeatedly brainwashed Li Muyao with the things that the Huo family did not do after her father passed away. Li Muyao had always thought that Huo Jiling and his family members weren’t good people.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Muyao and Huo Jiling had met after their rebirth, it would have been clear that Huo Jiling didn’t like Li Muyao at first. However, after they got to know each other, both Li Muyao and Huo Jiling had a different understanding of each other.
Especially since Huo Jiling didn’t even want to break off the engagement. He even thought that he could accept Li Muyao as his fiancée and was willing to get along with her like a normal man and woman.
On the other hand, Li Muyao insisted on breaking off the engagement, which was why she got the marriage contract and found out many things that Li Muyao didn’t know in her previous life. It turned out that Lin Qin had really hidden many things from Li Muyao in her previous life, such as the large compensation she received after breaking off the engagement with the Huo family.
Until now, Li Muyao hated Lin Qin. She had so much money, so why did she let her two cutest brothers miss out on university? She even used the excuse that she had no money to ask Li Muyao for money.
Sigh!
Li Muyao exhaled heavily and slapped her forehead several times. She took out her phone and called Huo Jiling again. When she heard his voice, tears rolled down her face. She sounded wronged,”Ling, I miss you!”
Perhaps this was the habit of a girl to seek comfort from her boyfriend after something had happened.
Anyway, Li Muyao really wanted Huo Jiling to be by her side at this moment, to accompany her and give her a hug and a kiss.
“Baby, I miss you too. Are you worried about Little Yu and Yang Yang?”In fact, after Huo Jiling and Li Muyao finished chatting on QQ, he went back to his dorm with his colleagues. After taking a shower, he turned on his computer and waited for his baby to send him a message.
There was no message in the chat box, but a call came.
Huo Jiling was happy for less than three seconds when he heard the sobbing voice of his beloved girl. He felt his heart ache, but he still pretended to be calm and concerned. He was a man, but when his baby needed him, he wasn’t by his side. Therefore, Huo Jiling’s voice was her biggest support at the moment.
Huo Jiling used his voice to convey the feeling of stability and peace to his baby.
“Yes! It’s just that Lin Qin’s side has some bloody things that happened. I really hate the trouble that happened around her. However… Forget it, Ling, tell me a story.
No, tell me something about your correspondence with my father, something I don’t know, I think.”Li Muyao suddenly didn’t want to talk about Lin Qin’s stupid things anymore. It would dirty her mouth and Huo Jiling’s ears.
Why not listen to some interesting things about Huo Jiling and his father’s letters for so many years? Huo Jiling would return to China for a period of time every year. Although he stayed in China for a short time, Li Muyao recalled that her father’s business trip coincided with Huo Jiling’s return.
However, her father had never mentioned these things to them. It was just that every time her father came back from a business trip, Li Muyao would always receive a lot of gifts that she liked. There were even a few times when it was all imported snacks and chocolate.
“Alright, I’ll tell Baby about the first time I met Uncle after I wrote to him…”
After nearly two hours, Huo Jiling finally reminded those who weren’t sleepy that it was time to sleep.”Baby, go and sleep now. You’ll see me when you wake up tomorrow.”
Huo Jiling had noticed something wrong with his girlfriend a long time ago. He always liked to sleep early and woke up early. He never wanted to waste his beauty sleep because of something unnecessary.
In the end, his baby was so touched by what happened to Lin Qin in Pinglan County that she started to stay up late.
Huo Jiling was worried. He thought about it and decided to take a day off to visit Sun City. Not long ago, Huo Jiling said that he wouldn’t have time to leave the base again, but now he had to ask for leave again. Huo Jiling was embarrassed for a few seconds, then he felt that nothing was more important than his baby.
Besides, Huo Jiling still remembered what Grandma had said to him many times: “Ling, nothing is important to you in this life. The most important thing is Yaoyao. You can ignore me, your father, your brother, and your sister-in-law, but you must cherish Yaoyao. Especially when you’ve decided that she’s the only one in her life, you should know how to give up.”
A master of metaphysics like Mrs. Hunt rarely used the word ‘treasure’, and it was only when she was teaching her own grandson.
Huo Jiling also knew that he really needed to borrow something from Li Muyao. Before, he knew that his motive for getting close to Li Muyao was not pure. Now, no one in this world cared about Li Muyao more than Huo Jiling. Just like Grandma Huo said, as long as Li Muyao was willing, Huo Jiling was willing to give her his life.
He would not complain at all, as long as she was happy.
“Really? Ling, will you come to my dream after I fall asleep? Okay, I’ll see you in my dreams when I sleep first. I want your hugs and kisses. Well, I still have to hold your hand. Then go to bed early. We’ll meet in your dreams.”
No matter how emotional she was, Li Muyao slowly calmed down after hearing Huo Jiling talk about the things she didn’t know about when he met her father and when he wrote to her. Li Muyao even boldly comforted herself. Even if her life and Huo Jiling’s life were tied up by her father and Old Madam Huo, she was willing to take it.
Li Muyao believed that her father had already guessed which path she would take since he had arranged her life and future. In his previous life, he had probably chosen the first option. After her rebirth, Li Muyao chose the second path, which was the path that everyone thought was very good. Even Li Muyao was surprised.
Besides, Li Muyao really loved Huo Jiling now, and Huo Jiling had to be with her. Li Muyao felt that she didn’t need to vent her anger on him. Huo Jiling was just like her, he was just a character that was arranged.
She suddenly understood what Old Madam Huo meant. If it was Li Muyao, she would also choose to keep her closest family.
“Okay, baby. Goodnight.”
“Ah Ling, you can see me in my dreams.”
Li Muyao couldn’t help but smile when she saw that the call had lasted for nearly two hours. She and Huo Jiling really had endless topics to talk about. Great, she missed him a lot. It was romantic to see him in her dreams.
After Huo Jiling hung up, he charged his phone and wrote a leave of absence. She packed a simple change of clothes and put them in her bag. Then, she picked up the phone in the dormitory and called a few colleagues to tell them that she had also taken a day off.
A network worker like Huo Jiling could work anywhere as long as he had a computer and the Internet. If it wasn’t for the fact that his colleagues in the research institute needed to build some network infrastructure, he really didn’t need to come to the base.
Now, every time Huo Jiling went out, he would not leave his work behind.
Huo Jiling would work overtime to complete the task, and so would his employees. They would never slow down the progress.
As expected, Huo Jiling got his holiday again. He left the base in the dark and took the earliest flight from Jin City to Sun City.

“Hubby, why are you so early today?”
When Huang Yuying returned from her jog, she saw that Jiang Chao, who usually woke up at 7 am, was already up at 5:30 am. Huang Yuying, on the other hand, had followed Li Muyao’s advice and followed her and She Yujin’s daily routine of sleeping and waking up early and exercising. She had been waking up at five o’clock every day and running for half an hour.
Therefore, when he suddenly saw someone who always had a fixed time to wake up early, he naturally had to ask.
“President Huo will arrive at the airport at six. I’ll go pick him up. I think something must have happened to Mu Yao. Yingzi, if you go to the company today, please take care of Mu Yao.”Jiang Chao told him about Huo Ling’s visit to Sun City. He also guessed that President Huo had to come to Sun City when he was participating in the national network research project.
The only person who could make Huo Jiling do this was Mu Yao, the future owner.
Jiang Chao also knew that Li Muyao’s two younger brothers, who had been working at the company yesterday, had taken leave to go back to their hometown. Those who were close to Huo Jiling and Li Muyao knew about Li Muyao’s family matters, not to mention Jiang Chao, who was always by Huo Jiling’s side. He even personally handled many matters related to Li Muyao, so he naturally guessed some things.
