At the same time.
It was on the second floor, box number one, one floor below where Xie Xihe was.
A tall man stood by the window, just able to have a panoramic view of the scene in the hall.
He looked at the man strolling back, a deep look in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The waiter opened the door and a girl in a golden dress walked in. She poured herself a glass of wine as if she was familiar with the place and walked to the man.
Sheng Shijing was no longer in the hall, but the two men's eyes were still fixed on him.
After a long while, the girl in the golden dress, Mindy, spoke first: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Windsor family and the young master of the Huo family are getting married."
The man tilted his head to look at her. He had narrow eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were a seductive red with a hint of darkness. He smiled and said, "So, is the Caroline family going to marry into the Tianyumen family?"
The man raised his finger to lift the girl's chin, and said in an intimate and ambiguous tone: "Do you want to marry me, Miss Minty?"
Even in such a passive posture, Mindy still kept smiling, looked directly into the other person's eyes and said, "Okay."
Xia Hou Si scoffed and let go of her with a lack of interest. He took a sip of the wine in his glass and said lazily, "Women, it's better to be reserved. The more aloof you are, the more crazy you will make men."
He pointed in the direction of his head, his eyes deepening with amusement. "Isn't Miss Xie the best example? Even the Lord of Black Stone, known as the Cold-Faced King of Hell, is attracted by her."
Mingdi lowered her head and said seriously, "I came here just for this matter."
His brows furrowed slightly as he spoke, "Of the nine members of the Hidden Alliance, excluding the vanished Xuanmen and the research-only Tianqiong, there are only seven active in the outside world."
"Now that the Huo family and the Windsor family are married, if Blackstone also marries the Huo family, then these three forces will be inseparable, which will not be good for us."
Xia Hou Si said "Oh" and looked at her: "So, how do you want to stop it?"
Mindy smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She said calmly, "Have you forgotten what just happened?"
"Helson was humiliated and lost his mind. In anger, he made an irreparable mistake. In front of so many noble families, even if Ten is tempted, he should consider the outside world's perspective, right?"
Xia Hou Si sneered again and said, "Women, it's better to be kind."
but……
He raised his lips, lifted the girl's chin again, raised his eyebrows and said, "I like it."
Mindy smiled and raised her hand to take his hand.
Xia Housi didn't care. He tapped his wine glass with his fingertips and said after a moment's silence, "But compared to that idiot Helsen, I have a more suitable person to handle this matter."
Mindy raised an eyebrow, "Who?"
Xia Hou Si curled his lips into a smile and slowly made a phone call: "Agree to her request and send her some strong medicine."
Xia Housi hung up the phone and turned his head to look at Mingdi: "Just wait, you will know when the time comes."
Minty leaves.
One of Xiahou Si's men watched her walk away before returning to the room. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke out, "Master, although the Huo family's strength is average, from the information we've received so far, both the old Patriarch Huo and the young Master Huo and his son attach great importance to this newly adopted young lady. If we touch her now, I'm afraid..."
The subordinate gritted his teeth and spoke frankly, "Given Tianyumen's current situation, it's really not suitable to cause any more complications."
Xia Housi glanced at him and suddenly sneered: "Do you think I care about the Huo family?"
Subordinate: “But…”
"But besides being the young lady of the Huo family, she has another identity." Xia Housi interrupted him, his fingers holding the wine glass tightening, "The eldest lady of the Xie family in Kyoto."
"Chongli is at the Xie family."
The subordinate was shocked and finally understood what his master meant: "You want to..."
"Given Tianyumen's current situation, perhaps only Chongli can save it. However, our people haven't been able to find Chongli yet, so let's start with Miss Xie."
A glint flashed in his eyes. "And if I'm not mistaken, Chong Li stayed in the Xie family because of this Miss Xie. She must be quite accomplished in medicine. Those medicines shouldn't have any effect on her."
Subordinate: "What if they arrive together?"
Xia Hou Si curled his lips and smiled casually: "That only means that she hasn't mastered the art of medicine and poison. Chong Li might be interested in such a disciple. In that case, why should I care whether she lives or dies?"
The subordinate wanted to say something but stopped himself, but seeing Xiahou Si's impatient gaze, he finally swallowed his words and nodded.
*
In a box on the second floor, far away from the auction table.
Song Yanxi quickly tidied up his appearance and calmed down his emotions. When he appeared again, he was his usual cold and reserved self.
At this time, Song Yi had calmed down. Although he was still a little unhappy, his expression had eased.
He took a look at her slightly red and swollen face, took out a box of medicine from his hand and handed it to her, saying a little stiffly: "Dad just made a mistake in his impulse. This is the ointment that Dad just asked someone to buy from the black market. You can use it first."
The words were spoken gently, but there was not even a word of apology.
Song Yanxi pressed the tip of her tongue against her jaw to suppress her emotions, a smile appeared on her face as she said, "It was me who lost my composure and embarrassed Dad. I don't blame you, Dad. Thank you, Dad."
Song Yi was finally satisfied and couldn't help but glared at her: "Why are you sticking around over there? Don't you see someone is causing trouble over there? Now, not only have you been taken advantage of, but you've also brought shame upon me and the Song family!"
Song Yanxi gritted her teeth and said, "I just saw someone causing trouble for Xihe, so I went over subconsciously. I didn't expect..."
Song Yi: "You didn't expect that nothing happened to her, but you became a joke."
Song Yi's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and he said, "I've told you several times not to contact the Xie family and not to care about Xie Xihe, but you just wouldn't listen."
"Now it's all over," Song Yi said. "She sponsored an international elite competition, and Xie Xihe became famous and popular, but you were kicked out of the team. You stepped forward to help, and Xie Xihe was fine, and even won the favor of the Lord of Black Stone, but you were taken advantage of and embarrassed."
He looked very disappointed: "You treat her as a sister and friend, does she take you seriously? Why are you doing this?!"
Song Yanxi bit her lip, her eyes slightly drooping with a hint of grievance. She said, "Dad, I admit that I helped out before because of our old friendship, but I'm going up today because of Xihe's identity."
She said, "She is no longer the eldest daughter of the small medical craftsman family. She is the young lady of the reclusive Huo family."
Song Yi's heart moved, and his anger dissipated. He thought, "Are you trying to contact the Huo family through her?"
