Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 503 - 501 Planning to Undergo Dredging Surgery
Although he didn’t say anything, Su Yan felt that his attitude toward her had completely changed. Along the way, she attempted to strike up a conversation with him several times, but his newfound indifference made her back off every time.
Moreover, the fact that he had decided to return to China today and was leaving so soon made her feel somewhat panicked at the moment, yet she didn’t dare to say much. She lowered her head and left the first-class cabin’s private compartment.
Meanwhile, on the phone, Jiayi had already heard Su Yan’s voice and was taken aback, "You’re already on the plane?"
"Yes. I’m heading back to America now. Sister Hui must have told you," he finally got to the point.
The warmth in Jiayi’s voice noticeably dropped a few notches, "Yes, she did."
Yes, his family and career focus were always in America. This trip to China was merely for business, and he ultimately had to return.
"Don’t you have anything else to say?" Huo Zhenyang felt slightly displeased by the little woman’s brief reply.
Jiayi began, "I wish you a smooth journey and a speedy recovery."
Huo Zhenyang was speechless, "..."
He was both amused and annoyed, but even more so, he was filled with novelty and curiosity.
He and this little woman had indeed shared a past.
That cunning little Meatball, who excelled in her performances, turned out to be his offspring.
"How is Zaizai?" he sounded very casual.
She was startled, not understanding why he would ask about Zaizai at this time, "...At this time, he would have been let out of school. The kindergarten bus should have taken him home by now, I guess."
"The house in Green Island Garden was purchased in full. When you go to work, Fang Yao will give you the property deed. You are the owner of that house, and you can fully exercise control and the right to buy and sell it. Ade has also prepaid for the regular maintenance costs of the miniCooper and some other miscellaneous fees. Do you understand everything?" He laid out his instructions word by word, guiding this little woman, whose ability to live independently was almost nonexistent and who needed protection.
Regardless of the situation, at least during the time he was away from China, he could ensure that she and their child would not have to worry about basic needs.
She had once been his woman and had even given birth to his child.
Jiayi was somewhat astonished, "You’re not coming back?" His words sounded like he was arranging a will, which was quite frightening.
He could feel her sense of loss and retorted, "Do you want me to come back?"
"..."
"Speak," he narrowed his eyes.
Jiayi took a deep breath, feeling her heart beating fiercely.
Although he couldn’t see her at this moment, he could sense that this thin-skinned little creature’s face was definitely flushed, and his tone deepened, "If you don’t speak, I won’t come back."
Knowing full well that he was teasing her on purpose, she still felt her heart skip a heavy beat as if he really wouldn’t come back if she remained silent. She pouted, "Why do you always have to threaten people?"
He stopped teasing her and said in a low voice, "One month, I will be back in the country. Rest assured, I will still need to be present for the final mayoral election and inauguration."
She didn’t reply, but she couldn’t help clenching her palm, her fingers digging into the center of her hand. Was he now informing her of his return date?
But the nature of their relationship didn’t necessitate him making a special call to tell her about his travel plans.
She wasn’t his wife.
"Do you see this phone number?" the leisurely male voice came through the phone again.
Jiayi glanced at her mobile screen and hummed a confirmation.
"It’s my American number, contact me immediately if there’s anything," he instructed.
She didn’t know what she could possibly need to contact him for, but somehow having this number made her feel much more at ease.
"Anything else you want to say?" The plane was about to land, and he was going to hang up the call.
Jiayi didn’t know what to say, "Nothing."
His brows knitted with displeasure, his tone unmistakably irked, "Really have nothing to say?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Indeed... Even if there is nothing to say, only he could force someone to find words, probably the only one in the world.
Jiayi bit her lip, her gaze falling on the insulated food container in her hands, she petulantly pouted, "I simmered pig liver soup for you all night and even brought it to Disheng, now it’s all for naught. You’re missing out."
"Then wait for my return; make it for me again." He suddenly felt a sense of regret as well, and found it amusing—it was just pig liver soup, after all. He raised an eyebrow and issued the order very decisively.
After hanging up the call, the plane landed on a private runway in LA, slowly coming to a stop.
It was early morning American time.
The sun had just started to ascend from the horizon.
A black Cadillac was waiting nearby the tarmac, and Huo Tianpei, with the aid of the butler, had risen early to pick up his son personally.
Huo Zhenyang descended the airstair against the rosy glow of dawn, a majestic figure that was difficult to look directly at.
Su Yan and Ade followed behind.
The group made their way toward the Cadillac.
When he was about ten steps away from the old master, Huo Zhenyang waved his hand, signalling Su Yan and Ade to stop where they were, and walked forward alone.
"Zhenyang." Huo Tianpei, seeing his son’s arm still in a bandage and his handsome face slightly pale, was frantic with worry and stepped forward, "Go straight to Kevin’s hospital now and have him give you a thorough check again."
"I plan to visit Kevin. I’ve already informed him in advance on the plane to get everything ready. However, it’s not to check the gunshot wound."
In the morning breeze, Huo Zhenyang cut to the chase, his eyes calm and cold.
Huo Tianpei was stunned, not understanding his meaning, "What have you asked Kevin to prepare for?"
"Surgery. I’ve come back to America this time intending to undergo a thrombectomy."
He had long been thinking about this surgery, with no desire to live the rest of his life with a clot of blood inside him.
The appearance of this woman now filled him with an impatient urgency in his subconscious.
Somehow, he felt that their past was worth taking this risk.
After a long moment, Huo Tianpei came back to his senses, his pupils dilated, "You... why have you suddenly decided to undergo a thrombectomy? Didn’t we agree? The risk of a second surgery is too great; you’ve already had craniotomy once, the danger is even greater the second time. This surgery, you cannot have it!"
Although Su Yan was at a distance, the old master’s words were loud and clear, and the private airport in the morning was exceptionally quiet, she heard everything.
She was startled, "Mr. Huo—"
Huo Zhenyang sent a cold, knife-sharp look her way, silencing Su Yan completely.
Su Yan had never seen such a look in his eyes; if it weren’t for the fact that she was his meritorious servant, a senior member of the Huo Family in America, perhaps this man would have dismissed her in an instant.
Huo Zhenyang looked steadily at the old master, his expression a mix of a smile and not, with a touch of irony, "Things that were agreed upon can change, daddy. After all, you’ve kept too many things from me, haven’t you."
Huo Tianpei expressed surprise, "What do you mean?"
Huo Zhenyang spoke gravely, "Chu Jiayi, remember her, daddy?"
Huo Tianpei and the butler froze in an instant.
"During the months I was back in China, I encountered this woman in Yunling City. This woman, who was once with me four years ago, daddy, you never mentioned her from beginning to end, and even deliberately replaced the people around me."
Huo Tianpei’s gaze became fixed.
Zhenyang met Jiayi again?
Didn’t Jiayi marry the son of the Ya Family in S Country four years ago...
