C17 It's 9 O'clock Tonight

Qingli saw the old man's words and quickly walked out of the kitchen. She took off the apron on her waist and said, "Dad, Muyao's company recently had a few troublesome cases, so he..."

"Which troubles? Call him to find me later, I'll help him solve it. But he must appear today! "

After Lu Jinghao finished speaking, without waiting for Qingli's reply, he called Qingge," Go and call Muyao! "

Qingli stood by the side and looked at Qingge with difficulty.

However, Qingge did not seem to see the look of her begging for help. She immediately responded and picked up the phone to make a call.

The phone was quickly picked up and Qingli looked at Qingge. Her palms were already covered in sweat.

After a long time, Qingge hung up the phone and said, "Dad, Muyao said he is in a meeting and will not be able to come..."

"What?" Lu Jinghao placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of him with a bang. The teacup spun a few times and finally stopped steadily. It did not break.

The whole living room was silent.

Finally, Lu Jinghao's gaze landed on Qingli's face. "Tell me, what exactly is he busy with? He doesn't even take my words to heart!"

No one had ever dared to challenge Lu Jinghao's prestige in the family. Except Lu Qinghuan.

Qingli bit her lips, not knowing how to explain. She knew that Xi Muyao did this because he wanted her to lower her head to him. She knew that as long as she called Muyao and told him to come over, he would come.

He wanted her to know that she still needed him.

However, she couldn't.

"Qingli, why aren't you saying anything?" Lu Jinghao looked at her with a calm expression, but it was surprisingly calm. Usually, at this moment, it was the precursor to his display of power.

No one in the family dared to breathe loudly.

In the end, Qing Huan ran over. She hurriedly hugged Lu Jinghao's neck and said coquettishly, "Aiya, Dad, brother-in-law is busy. He did not do it on purpose. Yesterday, he even went shopping with sister, right, sister?"

Qingli quickly nodded.

"He already treated me to a big meal yesterday. He said that there is a very important meeting today. If you miss him, you can see him at any time, right?"

Lu Jinghao coughed. His heart had been stabbed by Qing Huan, and he could not keep his face, so he could only make a solemn sound and did not speak anymore.

Qingli's heart finally calmed down.

After dinner, the driver took Qingli and Qing Huan to the airport. Before leaving, the old man only gave a few short instructions before standing in front of the French window and looking outside without moving.

The fog in the evening gradually became much thinner. Seeing the driver drive away and disappear from sight, Lu Jinghao picked up a cigarette and lit it. After a long time, he called Qingge over to give him an injection before lying down.

He had diabetes. A few years ago, the doctor said that he could not live for more than five years, but miraculously began the sixth year.

He felt that the heavens were fair. They had given him a lifetime of glory. At his age, he naturally had to bear the worry of being able to leave this world at any time.

At the same time, he had also let down that woman's life. In the end, what he could give her was only double the good for her two daughters.

Qingli never would have thought that she would see him again at the airport. That man that she thought she would never see again in this lifetime.

After sending Qing Huan and Jian Yang off, Qingli turned around and prepared to leave the airport lobby.

The phone in her bag rang. It was Yun Hu. She smiled and picked up the call. "What's wrong? Did you play well in Maldives?"

"Of course. Let me tell you. If you have the chance, you must go with your Mr. Xi. I will fly tomorrow night. Get ready to receive me!"

Qingli's heart ached. She did not tell Yun Hu about the divorce with Xi Muyao.

Since she had to hide it, even Yun Hu could not tell him. Otherwise, if something happened to the old man one day, she would not worry about anything else. First of all, the old man's health was what she feared the most.

After thinking for a while, she squeezed out a smile. "What time is the flight? I will go and pick you up."

"Haha, no need. I lied to you. I have already arrived in Beijing. See you tonight at 9: 00 PM."
