Chapter 229 Your Like Is More Important
Huo Shiyan saw Yuan Xi throwing the watch into the trash can and frowned, "Yuan Xi!"

Yuan Xi said: "Huo Shiyan, I don't want my whereabouts to be completely exposed in front of you, just like today, I deliberately avoided the bodyguards just because I didn't want you to know about this matter, and you knew that I didn't want you to know, but you still checked my whereabouts?"

Huo Shiyan frowned and said, "I can share my itinerary with you forever, why can't you?"

Yuan Xi ignored Huo Shiyan and went straight to the child's playroom.

Yuan Xi adjusted her smile as she entered the game room, and picked up little An An who was looking up. "My baby An An is so great, he can even look up now."

Little An An buried his head on Yuan Xi's shoulder. Yuan Xi smiled softly at An An, "An An is so good. Did you miss me? Mommy misses you so much."

Huo Shiyan sent a message directly to Qin Lang outside.

Qin Lang arrived at Huo Shiyan's study half an hour later and said, "Mr. Huo, the wife went to the mental hospital to pick up her college roommate Xiong Jiaojiao to go to the high-speed rail station.

My wife’s college classmate Xiong Jiaojiao had been in a relationship with her boyfriend Zhao Zhiheng for four years. When she was in her senior year, Xiong Jiaojiao became pregnant and moved into her boyfriend Zhao Zhiheng’s home.

Zhao Zhiheng's family runs a small company, so Zhao Zhiheng's parents dislike Xiong Jiaojiao because her family runs a small supermarket.

When Xiong Jiaojiao was three months pregnant, she introduced a blind date to Zhao Zhiheng.

After Zhao Zhiheng found a suitable blind date with a good social status, he wanted to break up with Xiong Jiaojiao and was willing to compensate her with 20 yuan.

But Xiong Jiaojiao has always been reluctant to give up this relationship in which she has devoted four years of true love.

Xiong Jiaojiao couldn't believe that four years of love would end like this. She didn't want to break up and kept pestering him.

But the fetus could not be saved at six months and had to be induced for labor. After the induced labor, Xiong Jiaojiao was completely abandoned by Zhao Zhiheng.

Not long after Xiong Jiaojiao had an induced abortion, she couldn't accept the news that her boyfriend had obtained a marriage certificate. She locked herself up at home and soon went crazy.

After going crazy, Xiong Jiaojiao stayed in her family's small supermarket. Because Xiong Jiaojiao's parents were usually busy looking after the small supermarket at the entrance of the community, Xiong Jiaojiao was deceived by the malicious security guard in the community and became pregnant and had three abortions.

After Madam learned about this situation, she let them return to their hometown, Licheng, to recuperate. Madam gave them about 200,000 yuan a year so that Xiong Jiaojiao's parents could take care of Xiong Jiaojiao wholeheartedly and not be violated..."

Qin Lang's voice became weaker as he spoke, "Xiong Jiaojiao and my wife were very good friends in college. They were inseparable in school, and their relationship was similar to that of Miss Liang and Miss Chen."

Huo Shiyan held the coffee cup in front of him and said, "Go down."

Before Qin Lang left, he asked, "Boss Huo, do we need to take action against Zhao Zhiheng's family company?"

Huo Shiyan nodded and said, "Yeah."

After Qin Lang went downstairs, Huo Shiyan also left the study and went to the baby activity room.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi who was playing with the two children and said to her, "Will you go for a walk with me?"

Yuan Xi got up and went for a walk with Huo Shiyan in the Yunsenting Park. The weather was getting hotter, but the wind was strong today, so the walk was quite comfortable.

Huo Shiyan said to Yuan Xi: "Why did you hide Xiong Jiaojiao's affairs from me?"

Yuan Xi paused, looked up at Huo Shiyan and said, "Did you go check it out?"

Huo Shiyan took Yuan Xi into his arms and said, "You can easily say that if I fall in love with another woman, you will divorce me without any sadness. Are you afraid of being like Xiong Jiaojiao?" Yuan Xi shook her head and said, "I'm not Jiaojiao. I won't go crazy for a man who doesn't love me, so you shouldn't expect me to be sad for you who no longer loves me.

Jiaojiao used to be the most beautiful girl in our dormitory, but now she..."

Yuan Xi bit her lower lip. "At that time, many classmates said that she was too entangled, that Zhao Zhiheng no longer loved her, and that she should accept the compensation of 200,000 yuan and break up. But that was four years of true love, how could money make up for it?
Jiaojiao had always hoped to get married and have children after graduating from graduate school, and live a loving and happy life. She had already been admitted to graduate school, and Jiaojiao planned to give birth to the child before entering graduate school. She had calculated everything in time...

She told me countless times that she wanted to take the child to take photos for her graduate school graduation, but... the child was gone, and she went completely crazy!"

Yuan Xi said: "I have never wanted to mention her to anyone, not even to Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan. Huo Shiyan, I am not hiding this from you on purpose, I just don't want to mention the current Jiaojiao. The previous Jiaojiao would never have thought that she would become like this..."

Huo Shiyan patted Yuan Xi's back gently and held her in his arms.

Yuan Xi didn't dare to let go of his true feelings completely and stayed sober. This must have something to do with Xiong Jiaojiao.

Having witnessed her best friend suffer such a blow, it’s no wonder that she became insensitive to relationships between men and women. She must have been resisting relationships between men and women, including her feelings for him, from the beginning.

Huo Shiyan now understood why Yuan Xi was bold enough to sleep with him after getting drunk. It must be that Yuan Xi didn't want to have a normal relationship deep down.

Even after having a child, she chose to agree to get married just to give her child a complete home.

It was not until she found out that he was Zhuangzhuang's brother that Yuan Xi opened her heart to him a little.

But it wasn't much. Every time she was moved, it was only a little bit.

Huo Shiyan thought, if he hadn't known Yuan Xi since childhood, he might not even get this kind of sober love from Yuan Xi.

He was very fortunate that he had known Yuan Xi since childhood, which allowed her to slowly accept him in her heart.

Huo Shiyan thought that one day she would completely open her heart to him.

"Are you going back to Jiangcheng on May Day?" Huo Shiyan asked Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi said: "Let's go back after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Huo Shiyan asked: "What are your plans for May Day? Do you want to go watch Escape from the Galaxy?"

Yuan Xi said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow is May Day, and Escape from the Galaxy will be released soon, but I see that the pre-sale box office of Escape from the Galaxy is only 20 million. The May Day schedule is still competing with I Am a Genius and Love at the Peak, especially Love at the Peak. Recently, because Mi Yi is the prototype and Mi Yi has been marketing Bo Chi, Love at the Peak has the highest popularity and is currently ranked first in pre-sale box office."

Huo Shiyan said: "Si Chen is very confident in this movie, and the most important thing is to focus on marketing after it is released."

Yuan Xi said: "Isn't marketing before the release more important than after the release?"

Huo Shiyan: "Escape from the Galaxy uses new actors and directors. Without word-of-mouth, marketing alone would be counterproductive. The audience at the premiere gave the film high praise, so it shouldn't be difficult to make back the investment, but I planned to lose money when I invested."

Yuan Xi looked at the sparkling lake, and she raised her eyes to look at Huo Shiyan, "You knew you would lose money, but you still invested because I said I liked the original novel? When did Mr. Huo do this kind of loss-making business?"

Huo Shiyan smiled and said, "It's more important that you like it."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan's smiling eyes and smiled too.
