"It's okay, it's okay, please come in, please come in!" The servant Sister Fen was very enthusiastic. She and Tan Guiren covered themselves with umbrellas while letting Huo Shaoheng go to the main room.
Huo Shaoheng nodded, moved his long legs, and quickly climbed up the steps of the main house.
The door opened and everyone filed in.
Sister Fen, the last servant who came in, closed the door with her backhand, and the raging hurricane was immediately blocked from the door.
The ground inside the house was a little wet, but the air was fresh and warm, a completely different world from the violent storm outside.
Tan Guiren bit his lip, a little embarrassed: "Please sit down, I'll go change clothes." Then he said to Sister Fen: "Pour this gentleman a cup of tea." He also gave special instructions: "I want the Dahongpao over there. "
Sister Fen agreed and said quickly: "Miss, please go change your clothes quickly. You will catch a cold if you wear these wet clothes. I will make you a bowl of ginger soup."
Tan Guiren nodded and hurried back to his bedroom to change clothes.
Huo Shaoheng was also wet. He didn't sit down. He looked around and said to Sister Fen, "Where is the bathroom?"
Sister Fen smiled and said: "Here." She brought him a big towel and said, "Sir, you also need to change clothes. We don't have clothes that suit you here. We only have Mr. Tan's clothes. Do you want to change into them temporarily?" ?”
She was talking about the clothes of Tan Dongbang, Tan Guiren's father.
This villa belongs to the Tan family, and Tan Dongbang must have something of his own here.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "No need, I have a change of clothes in my bag. I was going to a party after playing today, so I just happened to bring all of them."
"That's great." Sister Fen didn't force it, "You can do it yourself, I'll make tea."
Huo Shaoheng used instruments to test in the bathroom to make sure there were no bugs or pinhole cameras installed, and then quickly changed into the dry clothes in his backpack.
When he arrived, he was wearing a tennis polo and khaki casual pants. Now he is wearing a dark blue Egyptian cotton no-iron shirt and slim suit trousers.
He walked out of the bathroom and took off the sunglasses from his face.
Tan Guiren changed his clothes and came out, looking for him everywhere.
He looked up and saw a man walking out of the bathroom. He didn't make any unnecessary moves. He just turned around and closed the bathroom door. There was a tennis bag on his arm. Such a casual gesture hit Tan Guiren like an arrow. Heart.
If the tall and majestic figure before was just a vague shadow in Tan Guiren's heart, now Huo Shaoheng's appearance has become an unforgettable presence in her heart.
Huo Shaoheng turned his head and looked over, his deep brows and eyes were restored, his eyes were dark and deep, she couldn't see what was in his eyes, she just felt dizzy.
Trying her best to stabilize her body, her voice trembled slightly: "Mr. Huo... Gu."
Huo Shaoheng nodded casually, "Sorry to bother you, I'll leave when the rain stops."
The wind and rain outside the window became more violent. The raindrops hit the roof and windows, leaving long traces. There were street lights under the big trees outside, which were being blown this way and that by the strong wind.
Dense raindrops flashed from time to time in the flickering lights.
The rain is indeed heavy enough.
The hurricane on the seaside is something that even warships cannot resist.
Tan Guiren wanted to persuade her to stay, but she had a gut feeling that Huo Shaoheng was a stickler for words and would not listen to her words. He said "good" meekly and turned around to go to the living room.
Huo Shaoheng followed him to the living room and sat down. There was already a cup of steaming Dahongpao brewing on the coffee table.
He held it up and blew the hot air, then lowered his head and took a sip.
Tan Guiren sat on the sofa opposite him, straightening his skirt a little awkwardly.
She had just changed her clothes. The light blue silk dress she wore earlier was soaked through. She changed into a burgundy one-piece collared quarter-sleeved waisted top, paired with narrow-leg cropped trousers, Chanel's black camellia slippers, and two The legs are crossed and placed diagonally in front of the body. The posture is so dignified that it could be included in the Encyclopedia of Western Etiquette.
The living room was awkwardly quiet.
At this time, Tan Guiren is the host and should take the initiative to find topics to chat with the guests.
But Tan Guiren has been well protected by his family since he was a child. He only interacts with people in his own circle. Most of the time, he smiles and doesn't talk if he can, so he is a bit unspeakable.
Usually when she is with her friends, some of them will take the initiative to find topics, and all she has to do is follow along. Now, letting her find topics by herself is even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Huo Shaoheng remained calm and didn't seem to notice Tan Guiren's embarrassment, but he didn't notice her carefully selected clothes. His eyes flickered and he asked casually: "Miss Tan, your father is about to go to the general election, right? Why not?" go back?"
Tan Guiren secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately said briskly: "There are still two months until the vote. But something happened to me, and the domestic parliament agreed to give me some time to recover, and I can go back after the election."
Originally, according to the provisions of the election law, the immediate family members of the candidates should return to the country 60 days before voting. However, Tan Guiren was kidnapped. Later, the Tan family was not allowed to use the matter of their daughter to stir up the public interest. In addition, the Bai family also With acquiescence, the parliamentary body in charge of elections agreed to the Tan family's request and allowed Tan Guiren not to return to the country for the time being.
The Bai family only put forward one condition. Since they have violated the regulations and failed to return to the country on time, they should not return to the country for the time being and wait for the election results to come back.
This is because the Bai family is worried that the Tan family will suddenly cause trouble on the eve of the vote and use the opportunity of their daughter's return to the country to stir up more publicity, so they simply suggested that she should come back after the election.
Of course, the Tan family was unwilling, but they couldn't stand Tan Guiren and refused to leave New York, so they had to give up.
Now when Huo Shaoheng asked her, she would never say, I won't go back because you are here...
At the beginning, she was only worried about whether he would be in danger if he was mistaken as a "kidnapper". She would never abandon her savior.
Later, I don’t know when I felt strange.
Huo Shaoheng heard that the domestic parliament had approved it. After thinking about it for a while, he understood.
It must have been a political exchange.
He didn't ask any more questions and gradually guided the topic to the social relations of the Tan family.
"Ms. Tan came to the United States to study. If such a big thing happened, your relatives and friends must be worried, right? Have they ever come to visit you?"
Tan Guiren thought about it seriously and said, "No. Most of our relatives are in China, and a few of them are abroad, but they are also in Europe. Those who are in the United States all go back after studying, or go to Europe. settle down."
From the perspective of truly well-established scholarly families like the Cai family and the Tan family, the United States is a country founded by the descendants of low-class immigrants who could not survive in Europe, while Australia is a country that accommodates criminals exiled from the British Empire. What a great place.
