Chapter 699

Before Jiang Nannan knew about the affair between him and Ye Yaoguang, Jiang Nannan would send him WeChat messages and talk to him.

Sometimes they were selfies of a young girl, acting spoiled, or reminders to make sure he ate lunch on time.

He didn't think much of it before.

But now, even though Jiang Nannan had returned home and tried her best to get along with him as she had before, these details, which were usually hard to notice, gradually revealed the problem.

Just then, the special assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

"President Huo, Ye Yaoguang's stepfather just called me. He asked me to inquire if President Huo had offended anyone. Ye Yaoguang has loosened her tongue, saying that at first, someone took the initiative to find her and gave her one of the bracelets, and later, she was the one looking for that person. As for who that person is, Ye Yaoguang isn't very clear either; every time that person met her, they were wearing a mask. That person is probably around seventy years old, an old grandfather. By the time Ye Yaoguang's stepfather used Ye Yaoguang's phone to contact that person, that person had already blocked Ye Yaoguang, and it seems the WeChat account was also deactivated."

Huo Jingyan darkened his eyes, "A seventy-year-old grandfather?"

Even if he really had some enemy, it couldn't be a seventy-year-old grandfather.

This age was about the same as his grandfather's.

However, this was clearly a calculated plot against him, and Ye Yaoguang was just a tool.

Even without Ye Yaoguang, there would have been others.

Huo Jingyan, who had never been so meticulously plotted against and successfully targeted, had an incredibly gloomy expression.

"I'll go investigate it now," the special assistant said immediately.

After the special assistant went out, Huo Jingyan called Qiao Muting to explain the matter.

"This person probably didn't just plot against you; they also plotted against Ding Lao, Chen Lao, and some others. Even Gu Lao was plotted against. It seems now that this 'grandfather' intends to take action against people from several major families in our Jing City. Perhaps there are many others who are suffering from it without realizing it. I will remind Gu Jianzhang later and ask Shu Xia if she has any way to prevent it," Qiao Muting said in a deep voice.

Huo Jingyan opened his lighter, lit a cigarette, exhaled a wisp of smoke, and said with a half-smile, "This grandfather has quite a lot of nerve. However, perhaps it isn't a grandfather."

"You've reminded me."

"Nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Mm."

Huo Jingyan picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Nannan, "What time do you get off work? I'll come pick you up."

A few minutes later, Jiang Nannan replied.

Looking at Jiang Nannan's simple and brief reply, Huo Jingyan slowly narrowed his eyes.

He absolutely could not lose Jiang Nannan because of someone else's schemes!

——

In front of the main entrance of Qiao Group.

Song Ziqi held a resume in her hand.

Today she was notified that she could come for an interview.

Being able to reach this step, she relied entirely on her own abilities.

She had almost never been to Qiao Group; she had only passed by before.

Thinking of the surprise on Mu Ting's face when he saw her at the company, she felt a faint excitement in her heart.

Just as she was about to step into Qiao Group, Jiang Tu called, "Are you really going to Qiao Group?"

"Yes, I've already made up my mind," Song Ziqi said with a firm tone.

Since the day she went to Xinghai Villa, she had become even more certain of her decision.

She could not bear to watch Shu Xia and Mu Ting be together.

That Xinghai Villa was a place she had once fantasized about living in.

Her good friends in Jing City were all advising her to get along well with Mu Ting.

Everything before her eyes existed because of Mu Ting's existence; she was no longer a child and knew very clearly what she wanted to grasp.

Jiang Tu was silent for a moment, then finally said, "I hope you won't regret this in the future."

"If I don't come today, I will definitely regret it in the future," Song Ziqi said with a firm tone.

"Fine, I wish you success."

Song Ziqi frowned, "Jiang Tu, no matter what time it is, I know you are my best friend."

Jiang Tu chuckled, "Once I'm engaged, I won't be able to be your best friend anymore. People are selfish; take care of yourself."
