Chapter 1887: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (91)
Xia Cha did not speak after she answered the call.
Until a strange man’s voice came through the phone.
“Hello, this is the bartender at XX Bar. Mr. Huo drank too much. He gave me your number and asked me to inform you to pick him up.”
Xia Cha :”…” He actually went to drink???
Xia Cha said angrily, “Tell him I won’t go.”
Xia Cha hung up with a taut face.
She lay on the bed and tried to fall asleep again.
But she couldn’t fall asleep.
That darned Huo Heng. He really knew how to make her angry!
Xia Cha got up from the bed, changed out of her pajamas, and left the apartment with her bag.
She hailed a cab and headed to the bar the bartender had mentioned.
Xia Cha was wearing a mask and a hat. Although she was not yet a popular celebrity, she was already quite famous.
It would be bad if someone took photos of her running to a bar late at night.
The moment Xia Cha entered, she saw Huo Heng.
He was simply too dazzling.
He sat on the high chair, his legs long and his shirt was unbuttoned. He supported his forehead with his large palm, his side profile handsome and thin.
Xia Cha could not see his expression, and she did not know if he was really drunk or pretending.
Xia Cha glanced at the woman beside him.
A beautiful mixed-race woman with delicate features and a slim figure was seated by his side.
Although it was late at night, the bar was still very noisy. Xia Cha could not hear what the mixed-race beauty was saying to Huo Heng, but she had seen her leaning toward him.
Seeing that she was about to lean on him, Xia Cha quickly walked over and grabbed the mixed-race beauty’s hand.
“What are you doing?” The mixed-blood beauty was dissatisfied that Xia Cha was holding her back.
Xia Cha pointed at Huo Heng. “He’s my boyfriend.”
As they got closer, Xia Cha realized that Huo Heng was really drunk. There was an undeniable intoxication on his handsome face.
The mixed-race beauty was not willing to let go of the handsome man she had finally met. Furthermore, judging from the high-class brands he wore, she could guess that he must be of high status.
“You covered yourself up so tightly. How can you prove that she’s his girlfriend?” The mixed-race beauty pushed Xia Cha and took the initiative to hold Huo Heng’s arm. “I’ve taken a fancy to him. He’s my man now.”
Huo Heng opened his eyes the moment the mixed-race beauty held his arm.
He looked at the mixed-race beauty with bloodshot eyes and then at Xia Cha who was covered up tightly.
He recognized Xia Cha almost immediately.
He shook off the hand of the mixed-race beauty and reached out his slender and fair hand to Xia Cha. His scarlet lips curled into a devilish smile. “Little Camellia.”
Xia Cha’s tense heart relaxed.
He was so drunk, yet he could still recognize her. This meant that he still had her in his heart!
Xia Cha walked back to Huo Heng. “Why are you so drunk?”
“I feel terrible.” He patted his chest.
Xia Cha did not know what had happened to him, but she was right that there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
“Let’s go back.”
Xia Cha placed Huo Heng’s arm on her shoulder and helped him leave.
The mixed-race beauty was dumbfounded.
She had set her eyes on this man two hours ago. She had approached her when he wasn’t drunk, but he hadn’t even looked at her.
He had drunk too much and she thought that this was her chance. However, he still refused to look at her.
She thought that he was cold to all women, but she did not expect him to be so obedient to this girl who was tightly covered up. The girl was fierce to him, but he still smiled dotingly.
…
Xia Cha helped Huo Heng into the taxi.
Huo Heng leaned on Xia Cha’s slender shoulders.
He was relatively quiet when he was drunk. He didn’t make any noise and leaned on her shoulder like a good boy.
By the time they arrived home, Huo Heng was already asleep.
It took Xia Cha a lot of effort to help him to the apartment.
She threw him onto the bed and bent down, panting heavily.
Glancing at the man on the bed, Xia Cha wished she could kick him to the Pacific Ocean.
After catching her breath, Xia Cha came out of the bathroom with a basin of water and wiped his face and hands.
When she wiped his face, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at her with blurry eyes. “Tangtang…”
His voice was a little muffled. If Xia Cha was not familiar with the name, she would not have heard what he said.
She looked at his lips when he spoke and knew that he had called her Tangtang.
Xia Tang was a singer that Xia Cha liked very much and was also her idol.
In the past, when Huo Heng looked at her, he had also called her Tangtang.
But at the time, she did not think much about it.
“Tangtang… They all want me to die…”
He turned around and closed his eyes again.
The towel in Xia Cha’s hand fell to the ground.
The words of the two female artistes involuntarily surfaced in her mind—
Could Xia Tang be Huo Heng’s first love?
Xia Cha glanced at Huo Heng. She walked to the bed and took out his wallet from his pants pocket.
She knew that this was not right, but she felt like she was under a spell and could not control herself.
Xia Cha lowered her eyes and opened her wallet.
She glanced at it briefly and was about to close it when she saw a photo from the corner of her eye.
He didn’t put it in the compartment. He put it where he could see it as soon as he opened his wallet.
The woman in the photo had long, silky hair and was wearing a long white dress. She stood at the beach and the setting sun shone on her face. She was unbelievably beautiful.
Xia Cha looked at the photo, her mind blank.
Perhaps she had already expected that the woman he couldn’t forget was Xia Tang, so she didn’t have any strong emotions.
She closed the wallet and put it back into the pocket of his pants.
…
When Huo Heng woke up the next day, it was already morning.
He looked at the ceiling for a while. When his consciousness slowly returned, he realized that he had arrived at Xia Cha’s apartment.
Last night, he only remembered that he drank a lot of alcohol. He didn’t remember why he was at Xia Cha’s apartment.
Huo Heng got up from the bed and walked around the apartment.
He did not see Xia Cha.
He found his phone and called Xia Cha.
But it was switched off.
Huo Heng frowned slightly.
…
For three consecutive days, Huo Heng couldn’t contact Xia Cha.
He only found out that she had gone overseas to watch a fashion show after watching the entertainment news.
Huo Heng had to deal with Huo Jie’s matter, so he didn’t have time to look for her.
The man in black that Huo Jie sent to tamper with Huo Heng’s car admitted his crime and implicated Huo Jie. He also confessed to the incident where he tampered with Huo Ze’s car.
When Old Master Huo found out that Huo Ze’s accident was related to Huo Jie, he flew into a rage.
Huo Jie asked Fourth Master Huo to save him. Because of the E20 project’s loss and Huo Jie’s arrest, Fourth Master Huo’s reputation was damaged and he was grounded by Old Master Huo.
Huo Heng felt a chill run down his spine when he found out that Old Master Huo was only preventing Fourth Master Huo from going out and not letting him turn himself in to the police.
He used to think that Old Master was the person who doted on him the most besides his parents.
Huo Heng sneered.
He was not in a hurry. One day, he would send Fourth Master Huo to prison.
What he needed to do now was to find the person who put carcinogens in his cigarette and wanted him to die from terminal illness!
