Chapter 1910: (Chapter 1910) Huo Ze VS Xia Tang (113)
The old house of the Huo family was built on the mountainside, leaning against the mountain and surrounded by water.
There are maple leaves all over the sky on both sides of the road. It is incredibly beautiful as we go by.
This was the first time Xia Cha came to the Huo family's old house.
She didn't dare to think about it before.
The decoration style of the Huo family's old house is mainly Chinese style, which is antique and unique.
Mr. Huo was in a good mood. After asking Xia Cha what flavor he liked, he ordered the kitchen to prepare delicious food, and then asked someone to bring an iPad. Xia Cha quickly shook his head and refused, "Grandpa Huo, I will eat at your house if I can." I'm very happy, I won't want anything else."
Mr. Huo looked at Xia Cha and said, "You only have one chance, little girl, don't miss it."
Xia Cha smiled and said, "When I make more money in the future, I will go to Huojia Mall to spend more money."
Mr. Huo hadn't met such an interesting little girl for a long time, and his mood improved a lot.
While the cook was cooking, he played chess with Xia Cha.
I originally thought that Xia Cha was not very good at chess, but she ended up winning two out of three games.
There was another game, probably because they were afraid that he would show off his beard and jump around, so he let him win.
"It's not going to rain anymore. Little girl, please accompany me to go fishing."
Although Mr. Huo has many children, there are very few who can really sit down and accompany him.
The last person who had the patience to play chess and fish with him was Huo Heng.
Mr. Huo looked at Xia Cha, who was sitting next to him quietly watching him fishing. He didn't know what he thought of. He asked, "Little girl, do you have a boyfriend?"
Xia Cha held her chin in her hands and shook her head.
"I know a guy who's a few years older than you. He's good-looking. He's a junior I like very much. His name is Huo Heng. Do you recognize him?"
Xia Cha's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard Huo Heng's name.
Why is the old man mentioning Huo Heng so well?
"It doesn't matter if you don't know him. How about I make a call and ask him to come for dinner later."
Xia Cha quickly waved her hand, "Grandpa Huo, I will be leaving the country in a few days."
Mr. Huo looked at Xia Cha's clear and bright eyes and sighed, "That's a shame."
An hour later, the servant came over and asked Mr. Huo and Xia Cha to go back for dinner.
Xia Cha helped Mr. Huo stand up.
A large table of food has been set up in the restaurant.
Servants stood by to serve.
When the servant serving the old man bent over to serve him soup, Xia Cha accidentally caught a glimpse of the hairpin on her head.
In fact, it is a very ordinary card issuance.
But Xia Cha felt vaguely familiar.
She searched around in her mind and suddenly remembered that the hairpin was sold in the trinket shop outside Hong Kong University.
At that time, she went to the school to apply for an exchange student. She passed by the trinket shop and went in to buy hair cards.
At that time, Tang Yue and several of her female classmates who were having fun were also there.
At that time, Tang Yue chose this old-fashioned hairpin. A female classmate asked her, "Yueyue, why are you still wearing this old-fashioned hairpin?"
"How could I wear it? I bought this as a gift for my servant."
"Wow, Yueyue, do you have a servant at home?"
"Yueyue, you are so kind to your servant!"
At that time, Xia Cha saw a flash of uneasiness in Tang Yue's eyes.
Realizing that Xia Cha was sizing her up, the servant serving the old man's soup glanced at Xia Cha.
The two people's eyes met, and the servant looked away slightly panicked.
Xia Cha touched her nose, feeling that it was rude to look at the servant like this.
When the servant saw that Xia Cha was no longer staring at her, after serving the soup for the old man, she stood silently behind him.
After the meal, Xia Cha accompanied the old man for a walk in the garden. The old man was not in good health and coughed a few times. The housekeeper came over and reminded him that he should take medicine and take a lunch break.
Xia Cha still wanted to go to the mall, so after saying something to the old man, she left the Huo family's old house.
When I walked to the living room, I saw the servant holding a hairpin again.
She was holding a pack of Chinese medicine and seemed to be going to the small kitchen to make medicine for the old man. When she saw Xia Cha, she only looked at each other for a few seconds and then quickly looked away.
Xia Cha walked towards the gate.
Halfway through, I realized I didn’t have my phone with me.
She returned.
I found my cell phone on the sofa in the living room.
Originally, she planned to leave, but thinking of the look in the eyes of the servant wearing a hairpin, she walked towards the kitchen without warning.
Xia Cha found a hidden place and looked through the window at what was going on in the small kitchen.
The servant is carefully preparing the medicine.
Xia Cha couldn't see anything wrong, and she thought she might be overly concerned.
She was about to leave when another servant in the small kitchen said something to the servant wearing a hairpin and left the kitchen.
The servant wearing a hairpin immediately looked around after the other servant went out.
Seeing that she was alone, she quickly took out a small bottle from her servant uniform.
She squeezed two drops of clear liquid into the medicine.
In just a few seconds, she did it.
Xia Cha's eyelashes trembled.
She is not an inexperienced little girl, so she will naturally not think that the small bottle contains tonics that are beneficial to the human body.
Thinking that Huo Ze got cancer because he was poisoned by someone, Xia Cha clenched his little hands into fists.
A thin layer of sweat oozed from the palm of his hand.
Her kindness prevented her from turning a blind eye to this matter.
But if she guesses wrong, she may alert the enemy and put herself in a dangerous situation.
…
The servant handed the prepared medicine to the butler.
The butler brought the medicine to the old man's room.
The old man has been feeling weak recently, and his memory seems to be failing a lot.
As the butler who had served him for many years, he felt something strange. He asked the family doctor to come over and check the old man, but he couldn't find anything serious.
The old man used to be a strong man, and no matter how much he missed his children, he would never let them come back. But recently, he called them from time to time to ask them to go home for dinner. At first, everyone obeyed, but as time went by, everyone used work as a excuse.
The old man's temperament became more and more like a child's.
Just like today, I actually ran out secretly.
"Master, the medicine is here."
Mr. Huo looked at the dark bowl of medicine and frowned, "How long do you have to drink this bitter stuff?"
"Master, just three more drinks and it's almost done."
The butler prepared the preserves.
Mr. Huo waved his hand, "I'm not a woman, so I don't need that thing." As he said that, he picked up the medicine bowl.
At this moment, the room door was pushed open.
Xia Cha stood at the door.
"Grandpa Huo, I, I regret it. I want to use my iPad to pick out the items in your mall."
The housekeeper looked at Xia Cha, who was still breathing a little, and frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Why doesn’t this little girl understand any rules? Even if he came in without knocking, he blatantly asked the old man for something he had just pretended not to want after giving it to her earlier!
The servant wearing a hairpin stood at the edge. Hearing Xia Cha's words, he looked at the old man who had not taken the medicine yet, and felt a little panicked.
