Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 195 In private

Feeling the attention from afar, Huo Chuyan raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a barely perceptible smile, and quickly glanced in her direction, as beautiful and peaceful as the gentle spring breeze blowing across the quiet lake, creating ripples.

Realizing that her gaze might be a little too direct and passionate, Yu Wan blushed slightly and quickly turned her head away, no longer looking directly at the person who made her heart beat.

At this time, Huo Chuyan still had a smile in his eyes, but it was a little softer.

He knew that the girl in front of him was not here just to enjoy the fun of the party.

In addition to looking for opportunities to communicate with Gu Congwen, she actually had another more important thing to deal with.

Yu Wan calmly glanced at the furnishings in Gu Congwen's house and found that there were many antiques and some exquisite gadgets scattered in various corners of the room, but strangely, there was not even a single calligraphy or painting in the huge room.

She looked around carefully and confirmed again, and indeed did not find even a small piece of paper.

Just then, someone patted her shoulder gently.

She subconsciously turned her head to the left, but in an instant she felt someone patting her on the right as well.

After repeating this action several times, Yu Wan simply turned around and saw a familiar face - An Jing.

"Quiet?"

Yu Wan looked at her in surprise, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes, "Why are you here?"

The girl smiled mischievously, crossed her arms over her chest, and replied with a smile, "Hello, sister!"

Yu Wan bent down slightly, reached out her hand and grasped the other person's wrist, gently but forcefully pulling her up. "How did you get here? This isn't the place for you."

An Jing stood up straight and said calmly but with a hint of helplessness: "Uncle Gu is actually a good friend of my father."

This sentence simply and directly answered all the other party's questions.

Yu Wan suddenly remembered that Gu Congwen had indeed mentioned on the phone a few days ago that there would be several guests visiting their home, but she didn't expect that one of them would be the child she had met before.

"I see. The guest I heard about the other day was you."

Then she asked another question with concern, "How is your mother's health now? I heard she was sick before?"

However, the little girl seemed particularly dissatisfied, pouting slightly as she complained, "She's not sick at all. She deliberately acted like this to trick me into going home."

Then he added even more dejectedly: "Every time I come home, they lock me in the house and don't allow me to come in or out freely."

Yu Wan was silent for a moment, then explained in the softest voice possible, "Your mother didn't do this out of malice. She was simply worried that you might be in danger. After all, you're still so young, and being out there alone is bound to worry her."

An Jing lowered her head, staring blankly at the ground beneath her feet, tapping the cold tiles with the tip of her shoes again and again. "But... my brother is also wandering around outside. I can never find him, and I don't even dare to dream about him..."

The fear of dreaming about seeing loved ones suffering makes the nights particularly long and difficult.

Listening to these words, Yu Wan couldn't help but recall her own personal experience.

I remember that at that time, Pei Nian was under the influence of drugs and her mental state was extremely unstable. She even tried to hurt herself with a knife. The painful look on her face is still vivid in my mind.

This kind of grief that cannot be expressed in words often keeps her awake all night long. She worries every minute and every second that she might lose her loved ones forever because of a moment of negligence.

Perhaps it is because we have the same experiences and emotions that we can resonate more with this little girl.

Thinking of this, Yu Wan reached out and gently touched An Jing's hair. She looked at her with encouragement and promised firmly, "I will definitely find him. Don't be too anxious. It's important to maintain an optimistic attitude."

Her voice was so gentle, and her tone, as warm as spring water, immediately moistened An Jing's eyes, like a pool of clear spring water, rippling tiny ripples in the breeze.

She choked up and said, "I will continue to look for it, no matter how long and difficult the road is."

"I'll keep an eye on Hong Kong City for you."

This sentence is not only a comfort to An Jing, but also a promise from the heart.

Every word is full of determination and sincerity.

"Thank you sister!"

There was obvious gratitude in the quiet words. It was not only gratitude for the help, but also a trust and reliance that came from the bottom of the heart.

Gu Congwen noticed the conversation between the two and sensed the extraordinary emotions flowing in the air.

So he walked over slowly, wanting to find out more about the situation.

She called out "Uncle Gu" quietly and obediently, her voice polite and slightly shy.

Gu Congwen nodded. His eyes first rested on An Jing, and then turned to Yu Wan, who was standing aside and seemed quite calm.

"Manager Yu, how did you get to know my niece?"

Although this sentence seems to be an ordinary inquiry, it actually hides a deep meaning of inquiry.

Yu Wan smiled and explained, "We met on the plane last time."

Beneath this simple answer, there seem to be countless untold stories waiting to be revealed.

Can you easily get in touch with the senior managers under the prince of Hong Kong Julun Group just by taking a plane?

This fact made Gu Congwen cast a few inquiring glances at An Jing.

He nodded slightly, but became even more curious.

Then he turned to An Jing and said gently but seriously, "Xiao Jing, uncle has something to tell you alone."

After getting permission, An Jing nodded slightly to Yu Wan as a gesture, then followed Gu Congwen away.

Although she was reluctant, she understood that it was more important to listen to the opinions of her elders at this time.

Now standing alone in this empty place, Yu Wan felt a little bored and decided to collect more information while she had plenty of time.

He began to wander around, first from the front hall to the courtyard. Inadvertently, in a corner of the garden, Yu Wan discovered the figure of a young man - Duan Fei?

Duan Fei was nestled next to an elegant and charming woman.

The two stood very close to each other, whispering something secret.

The woman suddenly let out a series of crisp laughter, and glanced at Duan Fei with a teasing look in the corner of her eyes.

The latter responded playfully with a little playful gesture: he gently pinched the other person's arm.

"Go ahead, little girl."

As these words fell, the beauty turned around and walked away.

After witnessing all this, Yu Wan's favorable impression of Duan Fei instantly dropped to the lowest point.
