Che Huan remained silent.

Huo Jinnan’s eyes wandered over her face, "If you want, you can also see where I am."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

Che Huan stared at Huo Jinnan’s retreating figure until the door closed, wondering what exactly was he trying to accomplish?

Did a mere pawn also require such careful consideration?

After a while, she went downstairs and casually bought the cheapest, most outdated blue-screen phone from a nearby store, inserted a SIM card, and called the head nurse, "I’m really sorry, Nurse Gao, but I might need to go back to my hometown at the end of the month."

The head nurse was surprised, "Is it because of what happened today?"

On her way back to her place, Che Huan replied, "No, it’s because my mother needs someone to take care of her."

"Oh, I see. Well, take care then." The head nurse hung up, thoughtful. She knew that taking care of her mother was just an excuse. Could it be that the important visitor today didn’t want Che Huan to continue working at the First Hospital?

Or was it for marriage and childbearing?

The head nurse sat for a while, then called the hospital director to report the situation.

The director had five words of instruction, "Let Che Huan decide."

After some thought, concerned she might inadvertently offend someone, the head nurse made another call, "Mr. Lu, I’m truly sorry about today’s incident. It was completely accidental. I’ve always believed that Xiaoche is not that kind of person."

Uncle Lu simply acknowledged and hung up, then glanced outside at the sky, wondering why the master hadn’t returned yet?

He called Huo Jinnan, "Nurse Gao just called to apologize for Miss Che’s situation earlier."

Huo Jinnan grunted an acknowledgement and hung up, then drove to Nanshan Apartment where Qin Shaojin was already waiting.

Upon entering, he dropped his car keys on the coffee table, casually crossed his long legs, and sat on the sofa, looking at Qin Shaojin across from him, "How are the preparations coming along?"

Qin Shaojin straightened the documents in his hands, his gaze landing on Huo Jinnan’s face and noting a clear slap mark. He looked away as if he hadn’t seen anything, "I’ve already cleared all the assets in Gu Jizhou’s hands and ensured that Miss Che can get half."

It was then that Huo Bei entered.

Huo Jinnan raised his eyes towards Huo Bei.

Huo Bei approached, speaking softly, "Sir, has Miss Che reached home safely?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Yes," Huo Jinnan said as he lit a cigarette and turned his attention back to Qin Shaojin, resuming their previous conversation.

A smile played on the corner of Qin Shaojin’s eyes, "Huo brother, which tactic do you plan to use next, a level push or a back entry?"

Huo Jinnan placed the cigarette box upright on the coffee table, forcefully pushed it with his finger, giving it a level push.

Qin Shaojin narrowed his pretty peach blossom eyes, not asking where Che Huan had gone, "OK, working with Huo brother is truly a pleasure."

Huo Jinnan passed Qin Shaojin a cigarette and lit it for him.

Qin Shaojin took a drag, stood up, picturing Gu Jizhou as an ant on a hot pot unable to sit still, and smiled harmlessly, "I’ll go back to prepare then. We’ll take the divorce case to court by the end of the month at the latest."

Watching Qin Shaojin leave, Huo Jinnan drove back to Nanyuan Villa.

————Yunqi Academy————

After buying the phone, Che Huan wandered around the area for a bit, and upon returning to the building, she saw Gu Jizhou and let out a distant smile.

Gu Jizhou frowned as he looked at Che Huan, "What was this morning’s incident about?"

Che Huan smiled Yan Ran, a coolness in her smile, "Why don’t you ask your aunt?"

Aunt?

Gu Jizhou’s eyes flickered slightly, "Is she involved?"

Che Huan simply replied with a "hmm," standing there in the scorching heat of June, yet feeling ice-cold, as if she was in a freezer, "Don’t you know?"
