Sticking to Mr.Chairman in This Life-Chapter 1023: Jialin

Su Ge stood awkwardly in place, her gaze instinctively scanning around.

Luckily, she didn’t see Huo Jialin’s figure.

"We have Xiao Ge to thank for Jiaqi and Zhenzhen being together," Mrs. Huo smiled again at Su Ge, "Xiao Ge, don’t just stand there, have a seat and let’s talk."

"Alright." Su Ge sat down across from the two, slightly uneasy.

"Speaking of Jiaqi, as soon as he heard Zhenzhen had arrived at the hotel, he rushed over, so how come he’s nowhere to be seen now?" Huo Zhengting frowned, looking around.

Su Ge looked around as well.

She really couldn’t see Huo Jiaqi anywhere.

Both Huo Jiaqi and Huo Jialin weren’t here.

Strange.

It was true that Huo Jiaqi came first, but when she and Zhenzhen left the dressing room, didn’t he say he was going to pick up the Huo Family?

The Huo Family is all here now, where did he go?

"Xiao Ge, have you seen Jiaqi?" Mrs. Huo asked Su Ge directly and straightforwardly.

"I... earlier when I was with Zhenzhen, I saw him, but then Zhenzhen and I went to the restroom, and I don’t know where he went after that."

"I see." Mrs. Huo thought for a moment, then turned to Huo Zhengting, "What time is it now, dear, should we give Jiaqi a call? On such an important day, he shouldn’t be lacking manners."

Huo Zhengting didn’t speak, but as Su Ge turned her head, she just happened to see Huo Jiaqi, dressed in a suit, walking in the door.

"Mrs. Huo, Jiaqi is here," Su Ge quickly told Mrs. Huo.

Seeing Huo Jiaqi, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Today’s behavior by Zhenzhen might indeed have been overly neglectful of Huo Jiaqi.

After all, on such an important day, he came eagerly to find Zhenzhen early, yet ended up being neglected by her; he probably felt quite bad.

She was also vaguely worried...

Her worry was indeed unnecessary.

Huo Jiaqi likes Zhenzhen so much, there’s no way he would act on impulse. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The engagement party would definitely go smoothly.

This is what Huo Jiaqi has always longed for.

"Where did you go, you rascal?" Knowing that the Huo elders were looking for him, Huo Jiaqi walked directly to them, nodded to the elders and Su Ge, then sat on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, Huo Zhengting lightly scolded him.

"I thought you’d be arriving later." Huo Jiaqi explained with a bit of helplessness.

Mrs. Huo shook her head with a smile, "You were so impatient, how could we delay? You should prepare well, and be careful not to say the wrong thing when you meet Zhenzhen’s parents later."

"I know."

"Then... Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, I’ll leave you to chat." Su Ge stood up a little awkwardly.

She’s now on Zhenzhen’s side, so naturally she should go over to Zhenzhen’s.

"Alright, see you later." Mrs. Huo smiled and nodded at Su Ge.

Huo Jiaqi glanced at her and also nodded gently, without any change in expression.

Huo Zhengting simply responded with a light "Hmm," and Su Ge then left.

After leaving the main hall, Su Ge intended to directly find the Mu Family.

But as soon as she walked into the hotel courtyard, she bumped into a familiar figure.

A faint smell of tobacco reached her; the man in a brown coat, holding a cigarette, was sitting in the chair where she and Mu Zhenzhen had just sat, smoking absentmindedly.

Su Ge’s steps instinctively halted in place.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to stride over.

"Jialin."

The man sitting there visibly tensed at hearing the sound.

In the next second, he hastily extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
