Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Chapter 389 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

Some memories are engraved in the bones. A back view, a look, or even a few brief words can uncover dusty memories.

Mrs. Huo's face lit up with a smile and she held Ji Qinglan's hand even tighter.

"Qinghe is my family's ancestral home. It is said that when drought comes, rain comes. When you are in a foreign land, you will meet an old friend. It is fate that we can meet each other thousands of miles away."

"Indeed, I felt very close to the lady when I saw her."

Ji Qinglan had many doubts in her mind. Aunt Wu had left her a letter to go to a remote area in the northwest to look for her relatives, so why did she appear here now?

Could it be that Aunt Wu had hidden something from her?

Ji Qinglan did not speculate further. Given the situation at that time, how could Aunt Wu trust her 100? Now that they could meet again and know that she was safe, it was already the best gift from God.

The two of them sat in the hall, like old friends who had met again after a long separation, without reminiscing about the past. They just sighed and said countless words to each other.

Ji Qinglan also told Aunt Wu his real name and that he came to Hong Kong to visit a friend; Aunt Wu also revealed that her husband's surname was Huo and that they were doing some small business in Hong Kong. She also told him her home address and invited Ji Qinglan to visit her.

Ji Qinglan didn't know the address of Gangcheng, so he smiled and nodded.

Huo Xingzhi hadn't seen his mother come in for a long time, so he went out to look for her.

"Brother Xingzhi."

Huo Xingzhi looked back and saw that the person who called him was the third son of the Song family, and next to him was Qiao Shaorong, who was dressed in casual clothes.

Huo Xingzhi's eyes lit up, he turned around and walked over, extending his hand.

"Song San, Qiao Shao, long time no see."

"Brother Xingzhi, you are a busy person, it's really not easy to see you." Qiao Shaorong teased with a smile.

The three of them stood together and started chatting. Zhou Hanyi, who was far away, saw Huo Xingzhi and his eyes lit up. He excitedly said to Zhou Hanxuan, who had her back to the three of them, "Look, it's Huo Xingzhi from the Huo Group."

Zhou Hanxuan looked back and saw that the three of them were chatting happily, so she turned back and drank her coffee slowly.

Suddenly I thought that Sister Qinglan had been away for a while, why hasn’t she come back yet?

Zhou Han was disappointed to see that her sister was not in high spirits. She thought her sister had become stupid from studying too much and did not know how to socialize at all.

She couldn't help but remind him: "We should go say hello."

Zhou Hanxuan: "They are talking about serious matters, it's not appropriate for us to go over there."

The purpose of dining here is to enjoy the quietness. If you meet people and start chatting with them, it would be better to be at home!

"You don't understand. It would be rude not to go." Zhou Hanyi stood up and walked straight over.

She was wearing a well-cut lavender dress with a deep purple rose on the left waist swaying with her body, making her look even more graceful, charming and attractive.

"Shao Rong, Third Young Master, who is this?" Zhou Hanyi smiled sweetly and stood beside Qiao Shao Rong.

Qiao Shaorong paused for a moment, and when he saw that it was his future sister-in-law, he was secretly unhappy in his heart. He took a half step away, and his tone was not concealed at all.

"This is Mr. Huo, don't you know him?"

Zhou Hanyi could hardly keep her smile.

Sure enough, both of them are idiots.

Zhou Hanxuan, who arrived later, almost laughed out loud, but held back for the sake of her second sister's face.

She stepped forward and stood between her second sister and her fiancé, gently holding Qiao Sharong's arm.

"This is my fiancée, Zhou Jiahanxuan"

Qiao Shaorong pays much more attention to his fiancée.

Zhou Hanyi: Double standards!

"Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm Zhou Hanyi, Hanxuan's second sister."

Zhou Hanyi stretched out his hand towards Huo Xingzhi, completely ignoring the gloomy face of Young Master Song beside him.

The ten fingers are slender and white like jade, with diamond-studded nails on the fingertips, shining and dazzling. These are the hands that Zhou Hanyi has taken good care of.

Huo Xingzhi nodded to Zhou Hanxuan, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the distance: "My mother is over there, I'll leave you first."

Zhou Hanyi's face turned dark, his outstretched hand fell in mid-air, and he angrily followed Huo Xingzhi's back, only to see the direction he went, his face changed from anger to astonishment.

Her shock even came through in her tone.

"Why are Ji Qinglan and Madam Huo sitting together?"

Yes! And they seem to be very close?

Qiao Shaorong thought so. The smile on Mrs. Huo's face did not seem fake. She was truly happy.

Zhou Hanxuan and Qiao Shaorong looked at each other.

Zhou Hanxuan: Does your sister know Mr. Huo’s mother?

Qiao Shaorong: I don’t know! My sister didn’t tell me.

"Should we go and say hello?" Zhou Hanxuan asked uncertainly.

Qiao Shaorong...

Ugh! His sister was actually a community expert. She was able to have a good conversation with Mrs. Huo while she was in the bathroom.

Over there, Ji Qinglan had already met Huo Xingzhi through Mrs. Huo's introduction. The two shook hands. It was unknown what Ji Qinglan said, but he waved to Qiao Shaorong and Zhou Hanxuan to come over.

On the way to the hotel, Qiao Shaorong carefully inquired while driving.

"Sister, how did you and Mrs. Huo know each other?"

"Is Madam Huo very famous in Hong Kong?" Ji Qinglan asked instead of answering. She could sense something was wrong with the cautious and respectful manner that Qiao Shaorong and Zhou Hanxuan had shown towards Madam Huo just now.

"Of course, Mrs. Huo's maiden name is Wu. Mr. Wu was a famous investor. The Huo family also received help from the Wu family and gradually developed real estate, finance, medicine and banking... Repulse Bay Villa is also their property."

"Mrs. Huo has been in poor health in recent years and has been staying at home very rarely."

"Oh! I see. This is also the first time I met Mrs. Huo. We hit it off right away."

Ji Qinglan naturally would not tell Qiao Shaorong how she and Aunt Wu met. This was a secret between them.

Qiao Shaorong was dumbfounded. Huo Xingzhi was the leader of the younger generation of the Huo family and the eldest son of the eldest son. Now he alone controlled the Huo’s real estate and owned assets worth tens of billions.

Compared with Huo Xingzhi, he is nothing with only a few Y assets.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Huo Xingzhi is a famous filial son.

Just now, Mrs. Huo personally invited Ji Qinglan to visit the Huo family. Her words were sincere and didn't sound fake.

His sister is still his sister. After coming to Hong Kong, he can instantly hit it off with the reclusive Mrs. Huo.

This time, Ji Qinglan didn't want to disturb the Qiao family again, so he booked a room at the five-star Royal Court Hotel in Hong Kong City in advance.

Qiao Shaorong persuaded her twice and invited her to stay at his home temporarily; Ji Qinglan disagreed. Every time she went there, Qiao's uncle and aunt and even Old Man Qiao treated her with great courtesy. Uncle and aunt would take time out of their busy schedules to come back. She felt bad that it was always like this every time.

Zhou Hanxuan: "Sister, why don't you stay at my place? I usually live alone in an apartment outside."

Ji Qinglan thought about it and finally refused, mainly because she had previously told Mrs. Huo the hotel where she was staying, and she would definitely contact her.

In the end, Qiao Shaorong had no choice but to send Ji Qinglan to the hotel.

However, when checking in at the front desk, the service desk staff told Ji Qinglan that his room had been upgraded to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Ji Qinglan was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Qiao Shaorong. She had only booked an ordinary suite. Could it be that Qiao Shaorong had changed it?

Qiao Shaorong didn't understand, he didn't have time!

and……
