Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 460 - 458: Did She and He Know Each Other Before?
Half an hour ago, he was still in the car, originally having an important meeting with Mayor Qiao.
After receiving a call from Manager Yang, learning that she had been summoned to General Yao’s office and that the situation didn’t look good, he immediately had the driver turn around and rushed to Yundu.
To leave Mayor Qiao hanging just to protect her, and this little woman still harbored anger towards him?
What did she chase him for?
To let her scold him again for his odd habits?
Huo Zhenyang’s face could almost hail at this point, turning around, he strode towards the door.
The several bodyguards were staff who accompanied the Boss back to China this time, not having been with the Boss for too long, they had never seen him this full of anger.
Exchanging a glance, the bodyguards quickly followed after him.
——————
After that day, Jiayi simply took a few days of annual leave from the company.
For some reason, she still couldn’t calm her mood.
Actually, she knew that this man had already helped her and Zaizai enough.
She owed him, whether in money or in favors; but whenever she thought about how he treated her as a plaything, she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable without reason.
Fortunately, Fang Yao was very accommodating. Since Jiayi entered Yundu, she had never taken a single day off in half a year, and she hadn’t taken her annual leave either; this time, it was approved quite generously.
Well, it might as well be used as a chance to rest and relax, as well as to spend more time with Zaizai.
The happiest was Zaizai, who could be taken to and from the kindergarten by Mommy every day, blissful beyond words.
On the first day of the holiday, after a busy time, at night, after putting the little ancestor to bed, Jiayi still wasn’t sleepy.
She got up, inexplicably turned on the computer, and started searching online for information about that man.
When the man’s exclusive page opened, she laughed at herself mockingly.
Young Master Huo, Huo Zhenyang, he was the Derek Fok she had come to know these past few months.
Professionally, the information about him was scarce, mostly some official snippets, and not even one frontal photo.
Clearly, this man was extraordinarily low-profile.
Perhaps such top-tier tycoons weren’t all that willing to show their faces.
Originally from G City in the south of China, CEO of Huo Group, at a young age, he returned from graduating at the University of Paris and immediately took over the Huo Family business.
In just a few years, the industries under the Huo banner spread like wildfire, becoming leading entities in each industry, occupying half of China’s business landscape.
The man at the helm of this business empire had also become a legend.
At the peak of Huo’s success, four years ago, Young Master Huo disappeared overnight, taking his family and servants, leaving the G City Huo Group to be managed by the company’s major shareholders and CEOs, and went to America.
The reason for Young Master Huo’s move to America became an everlasting curiosity for the media, but there was never an accurate response.
The online data ended there.
Even the official information was sparse, and other news or personal affairs were even more elusive.
He knew how to protect his privacy.
But, G City...?
When Jiayi saw the location of the Huo Group, her heart trembled slightly.
The Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds, where Chu Xinyue pushed her off, were located in the outskirts of G City.
Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds.
She instinctively did a search, and as expected, the Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds belonged to the Huo Group.
The place she fell off the slope was the Huo-owned Huanglong Mountain hunting grounds in G City.
The fingertips holding the mouse trembled slightly, a flash of white light shot through her mind, and her forehead began to ache. She rubbed it, and it eased a bit.
Was this merely coincidence?
She had once been injured and lost her memory on this man’s territory, and now she had encountered him again amidst a crowd?
What was even more important was the strange, indescribable sense of heart palpitations she felt in the presence of this man. Both unfamiliar and familiar?
Had she known him before...?
No, impossible.
The man was a complete stranger to her.
Right, it must be a coincidence.
The Huo Group’s enterprises were vast, sprawling across China, with their stamp on nearly every industry.
Meaning, within the bounds of China, stepping into any large structure might involve Huo Group’s investments or shares.
Looked at in this light, it didn’t seem so strange anymore.
Coincidence.
It had to be just a coincidence.
Jiayi closed her notebook, pressing down the surging tide in her heart, and exhaled.
——
Her annual leave coincided with the weekend. In the afternoon, as usual, Jiayi went to Qixing to pick up Zaizai.
As she held Zaizai’s hand and walked out of the classroom, Zaizai asked, "Mommy, why haven’t you gone to clean godfather’s place this week?"
Jiayi was taken aback by the question, her heart that had somewhat settled over the past few days seemed to churn again, she forced a laugh, "Mommy has informed Huifei, the butler over at Disheng, and asked for a few days off."
"Mommy isn’t sick or anything, so why take leave for no reason? Did you have a fight with godfather?" Zaizai immediately detected the crux of the matter.
Actually, Zaizai had doubted ever since the day mommy began her idle leave at home, but seeing her gloomy face for the first couple of days, he didn’t dare to ask.
These past two days, mommy’s complexion improved a lot, and she seemed in a much better mood. Assuming that her anger would have subsided considerably, Zaizai ventured to question.
Was this child really not a mind reader? Jiayi gave a wry smile and playfully tapped Zaizai’s nose, evasively: "No, no fight happened."
But Zaizai saw through mommy’s denial. Mommy and godfather, they might have really fought.
Doesn’t godfather know that when a girl says she’s angry, she just wants the boy to coax her?
Girls are the most insincere with their words!
So many days passed, and he hadn’t even come to coax mommy, not even a single phone call. Why act so cool!
But godfather clearly doesn’t dislike mommy.
That day at the villa, he saw it with his own eyes - godfather carrying mommy to sleep on the soft, big bed, and he was so gentle and cautious, as if afraid to wake her.
And then there was that day, when he lied to godfather saying mommy wanted to invite him for a meal, who ended up paying, he knew very well, didn’t he?
Win a free meal as a prize? There’s no such thing as a free lunch!
If godfather dotes on mommy so much, is it that hard to coax her?
Ah, the matters of adults are so hard to understand.
Nevertheless, seeing that she didn’t admit it, Zaizai pouted but didn’t say anything more.
Back home, as soon as Jiayi entered, she called out habitually, "Mommy, I’m back."
In the living room, a middle-aged woman was sitting next to Xia Tingxuan, seemingly engaged in conversation.
Hmm, they have a visitor? Jiayi looked over.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw Jiayi return, she smiled and greeted, "Ah, Jiayi is back," then stood up, walked over to pat Zaizai’s little head, and finally winked at Xia Tingxuan with a secretive air:
"Alright, then today’s matter is settled. I’ll take my leave now."
Jiayi felt the woman looked familiar; the middle-aged woman seemed to be a colleague from Xia Tingxuan’s dance school, surnamed Zhang.
But why did the tone of her speech sound just like haggling for pork at a market?
Without thinking too much, Jiayi obediently walked out with her mother to see the guest off.
As soon as she returned, Xia Tingxuan mysteriously pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
