Chapter 131 Akai, something happened
Although the person who really saved Master Zou was actually Master Gao.
But if it weren't for Huo Baiwei's introduction, I'm afraid Master Zou would have gone to see Prince Yan at that time.
After that incident, the entire Zou family's attitude towards Huo Baiwei subtly changed.
Mr. Zou frowned, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he smiled.
Mr. Zou patted Zou Kai on the shoulder.
I have always valued this grandson the most because among all my grandchildren, he is the one who is most like me.
"You can marry her if you want."
Mr. Zou gave in.
He had a gentle smile on his face and looked very easy to talk to.
"No matter what, she is still the daughter of the Huo family. As long as she can marry into the Huo Group with 20% of its shares, I don't mind having another granddaughter-in-law who is a celebrity."
Once these words are out, there is no turning back.
However, if Huo Baiwei can really marry in with 20% of the Huo Group's shares, what does it matter whether this granddaughter-in-law is a celebrity or not.
Although the Huo Group lost nearly 2 billion due to the failure of the previous project, this is how business is done. Nothing is smooth sailing.
After a pause, Mr. Zou laughed again.
Thinking of something, he said, "If I could go back to my youth, even without those shares, she could still come in."
Zou Kai lowered his eyes solemnly.
He stood in the shadows, the light unable to pick out the expression on his face.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll come back with good news."
"Please take care of your health so that you can attend my wedding with Weiwei."
Zou Kai turned and walked out.
As soon as he returned to his own private space, his face instantly darkened.
Zou Kai's mouth twitched, and a sarcastic light flashed in his eyes.
Of course, he knew very well what kind of person Mr. Zou was.
A mere life-saving favor can't kidnap his grandfather.
The reason why the old man gave in so quickly was probably because he had already guessed that Weiwei might have some understanding of what the Zou family did behind the scenes.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Those who don't want their lives are afraid of those who don't want their lives even more.
If Weiwei marries into the Zou family, she and the Zou family will be on the same boat.
Naturally, they would not spread the horrific things done by the Zou family.
But Mr. Zou always felt that Huo Baiwei was marrying above her station.
Therefore, the stringent requirement of 20% of the shares was put forward.
Zou Kai's face was cold. He walked to a drawer that needed a key to open and unlocked it.
He took out the golden bronze Buddha statue inside.
There are many snacks and toys placed in front of the Buddha statue.
Zou Kai lit three incense sticks and expressed his request to the golden boy Buddha statue.
He promised that he could actually take over the Zou Group and that Master Zou could meet King Yan earlier.
If it was just because of the harsh demands made by the old man when Zou Kai was going to marry Huo Baiwei, Zou Kai might not have had the intention to kill the old man.
What really made him think was what Master Zou said next.
If the condition can be restored to the youth.
After drinking the tofu soup once, Mr. Zou started to look for ingredients for him everywhere.
Zou Kai did not forget that Old Master Zou had always held tight control over the Zou family, and if he had not been seriously ill, he would never have given up power.
His position as the heir seemed to be a sure thing, but if Old Master Zou recovered to the state he had when he was young, what would be the point for Zou Kai then?
The golden boy's mouth was grinning, as if he was always laughing.
Zou Kai stretched out his hand and stroked its face.
This was a Kumantong that he spent a lot of money to have Weiwei go to Country T to find a high monk to make for him.
After offering this thing, his career did go a lot more smoothly.
In the past, the grandson that Mr. Zou valued the most was not him, but his second uncle's youngest son.
After having the Kumantong, he eliminated his most powerful competitors and became the most respected person by Master Zou.
But recently, he always felt that the power of the Kumantong seemed not as strong as before.
Zou Kai was a little annoyed.
It's time to get some new mascots.
However, although he was the eldest son of the Zou family, he had no connections in this area.
In other words, his network of contacts here is not as extensive as Huo Baiwei's.
Just when he was considering whether to ask Huo Baiwei to help him get a Buddha amulet, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Zou Kai lowered his head, a hint of tenderness flashed across his brows, and he smiled.
"Weiwei."
"Akai, something happened."
Huo Baiwei's voice sounded a little worried and anxious.
Zou Kai frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"A large number of babies have gone missing in Yecheng recently and it's been on the news. Akai, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Zou Kai frowned, and a hint of hostility suddenly flashed across his eyes.
He smiled, "Of course it's okay."
Huo Baiwei on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved. "That's good. I'm always worried. I just hope you didn't do anything that's against the will of heaven."
Zou Kai chuckled, as if he was joking with him, and asked casually, "What if it has something to do with me? Will you be scared away by me?"
"Don't joke about that."
Huo Baiwei seemed a little angry. "I know you are not that kind of person. You haven't read the news. You don't know how terrible the stories they spread are."
"oh?"
Zou Kai crumpled up a piece of paper, but his eyes were still gentle.
“How did they spread it?”
Huo Baiwei's brows wrinkled, and she seemed to have taken a breath of cold air.
"They say some people are crazy enough to kidnap babies and make them into baby soup to be used... to increase longevity and improve virility!"
She had goose bumps all over her body, her eyes were filled with deep fear and anger, and her scalp was tingling.
"How could someone do such a heinous thing? At first I thought... But fortunately, Akai, I know you are not that kind of person."
"I just saw that your old man recovered too quickly, and I was too anxious for a moment and thought about it in the wrong way. Sorry, I shouldn't have thought that way."
Zou Kai is a man of deep thoughts.
If you want to fool him, you must first fool yourself.
Huo Baiwei has no talent or comprehension in acting.
Even though she had put in all her efforts, when she faced the camera, she didn't know what emotion to use to interpret the character.
But she always has a natural talent for deceiving herself before deceiving others.
Zou Kai stared at the Kumantong solemnly.
His eyes were gloomy and cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.
If he was more rational, he would probably be able to hear the threat in Huo Baiwei's hidden words.
She was reminding him that she knew all the shady things the Zou family had done.
If he were to destroy the bridge after crossing it, she wouldn't mind dying together.
But love makes people stupid.
He frowned and asked, "Weiwei, how did this rumor suddenly make the news?"
Huo Baiwei didn't seem to care that he used the word rumor.
She just lowered her eyebrows and murmured, "It has something to do with a master named Huo from Tengjiao Live."
