Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

Chapter 379 I Admire You

The next day.

It was almost time to get off work. Zhou Ning was discussing work matters with her colleagues. On the way back to the office, she overheard two employees mention Baiyu.

"Deputy Editor Bai is dressed so gorgeously today."

"I just saw her applying powder and lipstick in the bathroom."

After hearing this, Zhou Ning couldn't help but look in the direction of Bai Yu's office.

When she got off work, she saw Bai Yu walking out dressed exquisitely, with a bright lipstick color that could be noticed at a glance.

Someone around looked at Bai Yu with a smile: "Deputy Editor Bai, you look so good today."

Bai Yu chuckled softly.

"You are dressed so beautifully, are you going to some grand occasion?"

"No la."

Another person curiously asked: "I guess you must be going on a date, so you are preparing so carefully, are you going on a date?"

Dating?

Bai Yu's eyes brightened.

He glanced at Zhou Ning casually, then nodded.

"Wow! I really guessed it right. No wonder you are so happy. Of course you are in a great mood when you are on a date with your partner."

Bai Yu: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go quickly."

Zhou Ning stared at Bai Yu's departing back with an inexplicable look on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

And Bai Yu came to the Huo Group with great interest.

Looking at the building in front of him, Bai Yu suppressed his inner excitement and walked in.

Walking straight to the front desk, Bai Yu said loudly, "I want to see your CEO Huo."

"Do you have an appointment?"

Bai Yu lifted the hair beside her ear and said, "He was the one who called me to come over."

Afterwards, Bai Yu successfully arrived at Huo Qingzhou's office.

As I walked in, I saw a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was tall and slender, wearing a well-fitting high-end suit, and exuding a cold aura.

Bai Yu shuddered slightly, but still walked over with a smile on his face.

Huo Qingzhou glanced at her: "You're here."

Bai Yu nodded: "Boss Huo, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Without waiting for Huo Qingzhou to speak, Bai Yu hurriedly said, "I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time. Do you have time now? Why don't I treat you to a meal?"

"Can you afford the food I want to eat?"

This rhetorical question made Bai Yu feel ashamed.

She lowered her head and said weakly, "Boss Huo, I know my family background is very ordinary, and you were born in a wealthy family. It's normal for you to look down on me. I want to treat you to a meal just to sincerely express my gratitude to you."

Huo Qingzhou said coldly: "I don't look down on your status, I'm afraid it's you who looks down on it."

"I knew Mr. Huo wasn't that kind of person."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when she found Huo Qingzhou slowly walked to the table, picked up something and handed it to her.

Judging from the shape, it seems to be a photo.

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Huo Qingzhou stared at her coldly: "Did you take this photo?"

The moment Bai Yu saw the photo clearly, his eyes suddenly tightened, and then he shook his head innocently.

"I didn't, I don't know what this is about."

"Boss Huo, how come you have a photo of us? Who would take this photo for no reason? Why did you show it to me?"

"It's not the best," Huo Qingzhou said coldly, "Let's not beat around the bush. If it is, I advise you to take back the thoughts you shouldn't have, otherwise you will die miserably."

Those cold eyes were as sharp as a knife at this moment.

Not as polite as before.

Bai Yu was almost frightened to death and his face turned pale.

"Boss Huo, what are you talking about? I... I don't understand."

"Oh," Huo Qingzhou sneered, "Don't try to play tricks on me. You are my wife's boss and we are in the same company. I don't want to embarrass my wife. And remember that you have a boyfriend."

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then explained sadly: "I don't have a boyfriend. If you are talking about Chen Yuan, I broke up with him some time ago. He probably disliked my family background and thought I was a burden, so he abandoned me..."

Huo Qingzhou was obviously surprised.

Bai Yu tried to get closer to him, and mustered up the courage to speak: "Mr. Huo, you are different from other men. I know you are well-educated. I am very grateful that you helped me out last time, and I also... admire you."

Huo Qingzhou frowned.

Bai Yu said delicately: "Don't think too much, I just admire you. I know that there is a huge difference between our social statuses, so I dare not have any improper thoughts about you. Although Zhou Ning and I have similar family backgrounds, I am very self-aware.

I know I’m different from her. I’m not that lucky. I had to start my own business alone. I had to endure all the hardships by myself. I was even abandoned by my partner. I…”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Qingzhou.

"I'm not interested in your affairs."

Bai Yu pretended to be strong and wiped away her tears, while Huo Qingzhou's cold words continued to reach her ears.

"You are indeed different from Ningning. Ningning is unique to me."

"I didn't do it specifically to help you out that day. It was because I thought about Ningning's situation and felt sorry for me for not meeting her earlier. If it were someone else, I would do the same."

Bai Yu's heart ached, as if a knife had cut through it.

Huo Qingzhou: "You are in Wen Erya's company. I know my limits and shouldn't be so involved in some matters. But if you don't know your limits and target Ning Ning, I don't mind extending my hand a little and eradicating the root of the problem."

Bai Yu's body trembled a few times with fear, especially when she heard the man say the last few words, which he almost said with gritting his teeth.

She shook her head: "How could I target Zhou Ning? I wouldn't do such a thing. I take good care of her at work."

"I don't need your care."

"..."

"I've made it very clear. If you have any inappropriate thoughts, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Bai Yu nodded repeatedly, knowing that Huo Qingzhou could be quite scary when he became ruthless, and it was impossible for her to curry favor with Huo Qingzhou.

She wanted to say something else, but the other party didn't give her the chance.

Bai Yu had no choice but to leave the company.

The moment she walked out of the building, her expression changed suddenly.

Huo Qingzhou's attitude could no longer be described as cold.

At this moment, the cell phone in my pocket rang at an inopportune time.

Bai Yu took it out and looked at it, his face turned dark.

She didn't want to answer it, but the phone kept ringing.

After a moment of inner struggle, she finally answered the phone.

Soon, my mother's voice came: "Where's the money? It's been so many days, why haven't you sent me the money yet?"

money!

He's asking for money again!

Bai Yu shouted: "Didn't I tell you that I don't have any money!"

"Didn't you say last time that if we acted out a play with you, you would be noticed by a rich man, and he would sympathize with you, and you would enjoy endless wealth and glory? Why didn't you succeed?"

Bai Yu is speechless.

The other party continued to chatter: "You don't have the most ideas! This is not a difficult thing, but you didn't succeed. What have you achieved in these years of working hard in the big city? You only know how to spend money and enjoy yourself, but don't know how to subsidize your family."

"It's not a difficult thing. If you have the ability, go ahead and do it! I have no background. I can only rely on myself to work hard. What do I enjoy? Don't call me anymore!"

After Bai Yu spoke frantically, he hung up the phone angrily.

She had long been numb to her parents' suppression.

After all, she never got recognition from her family.

Unable to hold back her emotions, she hid in an empty corner and began to cry.

Why is fate so unfair!

Why could Huo Qingzhou say such cruel words!

Why can’t she become the second Zhou Ning since she and Zhou Ning have a similar family background?
