807: C807 In the Open and in the Dark

C807 In the Open and in the Dark

By the time he arrived upstairs, Huo Chengyun was already nowhere to be seen. There was a row of private rooms on the right side, and every one of them had their doors closed. He couldn't just knock on the door to confirm.

While he was thinking, the waiter carried the wine Huo Chengyun asked for and knocked on the door to Room 301. Shen Yijia happened to take a look at the inside of the room beside the railing and actually saw Huo Chengyun.

Other than her, there were five or six people in the room. Beside her sat a man in a suit and leather shoes, and he was pouring tea into her cup.

His actions were very careful.

His eyes were also filled with gentleness.

Huo Chengyun even smiled gently at him.

Shen Yijia frowned slightly. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the waiter had already closed the door.

He could only remember the number of the door first, then went downstairs and returned to the seat. His gaze was always on the corridor.

From his angle, he could take a panoramic view of all the people who came down from upstairs. He just had to wait for them.

He did not expect to see Huo Chengzhou when he did not see Huo Chengyun after waiting for a while.

He took two steps forward and blocked Huo Chengzhou's way. "Young Master Huo, can we talk?"

Seeing that it was him, Huo Chengzhou was also surprised. "Okay, a private room?"

"No need. Come and sit down. I'll just say a few words."

"Okay."

Huo Chengzhou responded and followed him back to the seat. The wheelchair stopped in front of him. Shen Yijia waved the waiter to give him something.

"Lemon water is good." Huo Chengzhou smiled. "I'm allergic to alcohol. I don't drink."

A moment later, the waiter brought over the lemon water. Huo Chengzhou drank a mouthful to relieve his nervousness. He then quietly sat down and waited for Shen Yijia to lecture him.

Shen Yijia saw that he was looking down and his mood eased up a little. "We know about the matter between you and Qiao An."

Huo Chengzhou nodded and still expressed his stance. "I am sincere to her. In the past, I did not know how to cherish her. In the future, I will definitely treat her well."

Shen Yijia spun the wine glass in his hand and smiled bitterly. "A man's mouth is a liar. You do not have to tell me what you said. I only care about practical actions."

Huo Chengzhou was silent for a moment. "Then who is Brother Jia looking for me?"

Shen Yijia coughed lightly. He averted his gaze a little, but in the end, he still spoke in a stern tone.

"I saw your sister just now... She is a woman and she is still entertaining in a bar at this time of the day. As a younger brother, you are not worried about her."

So it was about his sister.

Huo Chengzhou relaxed a little and then raised the topic again. Looking at Shen Yijia's somewhat awkward appearance, it seemed that he still had feelings for his sister.

But...

He knew nothing about their past. His sister was a person who hid things in her heart.

After thinking for a while, Huo Chengzhou smiled. "About this matter, I know. Sister asked a friend to chat with her. I arranged for Huo Feng to stay here. Nothing will happen."

Shen Yijia looked thoughtful. "She asked a friend to chat with her? They are all friends?"

"Yes, I did not ask about the details. Sister said it was a friend gathering."

Shen Yijia nodded and slightly raised his chin. His tone was a little reproachful. "If I saw Qiao An still having a friend gathering outside at such a late hour, especially at the bar, I would definitely drag her home."1

Huo Chengzhou naturally understood the meaning behind his words. In his heart, he changed his view of his uncle, who had always been cold to him.

He looked cold and soft-hearted again.

"My sister is no longer a child. She has her own principles and propriety in whatever she does. I am quite relieved about this."

Huo Chengzhou smiled and said, "She should be a very important friend. She specifically asked for a bottle of Romanee-Conti to serve her. Naturally, it is not convenient for me to disturb her."
