???
Sheng Shijing naturally wouldn't say it.
Not to mention that he was not interested in the internal strife of the Sheng family, his daughter had already spoken, so of course he couldn't ruin her plan.
It would be better to just serve her tea, water and add some fuel to the fire.
Sheng Shijing was thinking about whether he should find a few concubines for his second brother so that the second house would be more lively.
Or just find a few pretty boys for Xu Haiying?
While Sheng Shijing was thinking casually, he called Xie Xihe to ask if she had left and if she wanted him to take them back.
Unexpectedly, just as the call was made, he heard a familiar cell phone ringtone coming from the side of the hotel gate. Sheng Shijing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked over, and saw Xie Xihe's figure.
He hung up the phone and walked forward.
At this moment, Xie Xihe also noticed Sheng Shijing's presence, but she was busy at the moment, so she just glanced at him and then looked away.
His gaze stayed on the old man who was surrounded by a group of men in black, his brows slightly furrowed.
She asked Zhu Ming to send her father and nephew back, and she was going to come back to find Sheng Shijing. But just as she reached the door, she heard a sound of someone falling to the ground. An old man who looked about the same age as her father suddenly fell unconscious.
And just before he passed out, the other person's eyes fell on her.
Xie Xihe didn't see it clearly, but she had a feeling that the other party seemed to be about to call her.
The next moment, a group of men in black appeared and surrounded the fallen old man, leaving no space at all.
The appearance of the old man he saw last time appeared in his mind, and Xie Xihe's brows furrowed even tighter.
Sheng Shijing stood beside Xie Xihe and followed her line of sight. When he saw the logo on the cuffs of the black-clad guards, he also frowned.
He is actually from the reclusive Huo family?
The faint sounds of discussion around him reached his ears, and Sheng Shijing's eyes became even darker.
He didn't expect that just as he sent someone to investigate the Huo family, the old head of the Huo family collapsed at the door of the hotel.
If it were a different scene, Sheng Shijing would definitely not care about such a matter that had nothing to do with him, but at this moment Xie Xihe was right next to him and most likely watched the whole process. If something happened to the old master Huo here, that would be a real trouble.
Sheng Shijing hesitated for a moment, then quickly looked over at Xie Xihe and asked, "Can he be saved?"
Xie Xihe was a little surprised: "You know him?"
Sheng Shijing shook his head: "Not really, I've only met him once or twice."
Xie Xihe glanced at him, and when he noticed his slightly frowned brows, he probably understood. After thinking for a moment, he walked forward and said calmly, "It's an acute heart attack. Ten minutes at most. If you don't treat him, he's gone."
Xie Xihe didn't have to wait too long. The two men in black in front of her moved to the sides, and a middle-aged man came out from between them.
As he walked, he looked at Xie Xihe.
With just one glance, he realized something was wrong.
Why do this girl's eyebrows and eyes look so familiar?
The thought flashed through his mind and was quickly thrown aside by Huo Min. He frowned and said, "You know about my master's illness. Who are you?"
Xie Xihe didn't answer him, but said directly: "There are still nine minutes left, are you sure you don't want to save your master first?"
Huo Min's brows furrowed even tighter: "Can you save my master? You..."
This time, Xie Xihe didn't even have the interest to listen to him finish his words. He raised his hand and pushed the man aside, walked past him and walked into the circle of men in black, and directly took out a needle bag and a bottle of medicine from his pocket.
He poured out a pill and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, while withdrawing the needle and inserting it.
Huo Min finally came to his senses, was shocked, and reached out to stop him.
But before he could even touch Xie Xihe, the girl's cold voice rang out, saying, "If you want your master to die, then stop him."
Huo Min paused, his eyes shifting drastically, but his outstretched hand couldn't move forward any further.
With a sullen face, he said, "Who are you and what is your purpose? I'm warning you, my master is a noble man. If anything happens to him, you won't be able to leave safely!"
Xie Xihe inserted another needle, took a moment to glance at him, and said slowly, "You've made such a big show. Anyone with eyes knows that your master's status is not ordinary. There's no need to emphasize this point."
Then how dare you act recklessly? Can you take the responsibility if something goes wrong?
Before Huo Min could finish his words, he saw the girl take out a thickened silver needle and slowly inserted it into Huo Zhenchuan's philtrum.
The next moment...
"Huo Min, don't be rude." The old man's hoarse voice sounded slowly. Huo Min was stunned for a moment, then he quickly squatted down and said nervously, "Master, how do you feel?"
As Xie Xihe gently moved the silver needle, Huo Zhenchuan felt as if a stream of air was coming out from the acupuncture point where the silver needle had pierced. The blood flow became smoother, and his heart, which had been beating violently before, also calmed down.
He looked at the girl not far away with curiosity and surprise, and replied, "I think it's great."
Meeting Xie Xihe's eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, you saved me."
Xie Xihe glanced at him for a moment longer and said directly, "No need to thank me or repay me. Just pay the medical bills if it's convenient."
He glanced at Huo Min and continued, "Your housekeeper said that you are of noble status, so the medical expenses should be paid according to your status."
Huo Zhenchuan was stunned for two seconds, but when he reacted he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
However, he still had needles stuck in his body, so he didn't dare to move too much. He held back his movements, but his face was still full of smiles as he said, "The little girl is right. People are precious, so the medical expenses must be equally precious."
"But the money I have on me won't be enough to pay for it. Why don't you come back with me and I'll settle the medical bill for you?"
Hearing this, Huo Min's already shocked heart almost went numb!
When did his master become so gentle, considerate and easy to talk to?
And go back with him to settle the medical bills?
What kind of place is the secluded Huo family? Ordinary people don’t even have the qualifications to hear about it, let alone enter it!
Although the girl saved his master's life and should be treated with courtesy, Huo Min always felt that something was wrong when he looked at his master who was smiling like an old fox.
If his master wasn't already this old, and the other party wasn't a young girl who could be his granddaughter, he would have almost been unable to help but have some perverse thoughts!
Cough cough cough.
Pulling his thoughts back to where they were wandering, Huo Min cryptically reminded him, "Master, this may not be appropriate."
Patriarch Huo glanced at him and was about to speak when a figure appeared in his sight and said coldly, "Butler Huo is right. It is indeed inappropriate."
