Chapter 694: Relaxed and Happy
"I've thought it through clearly. Danger always comes with opportunity. Even if I lose in the end, I won't regret it."
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Liang Zixuan picked up the wine glass in frustration and was about to drink, but was held back by Huo Yunting.
"You're going to drive tonight, so stop drinking."
Liang Zixuan put down the cup and said unhappily: "Okay, whatever you want, but I think you'd better leave yourself a way out."
"knew."
Huo Yunting stood up and said, "Thank you for drinking with me tonight. I'm going back first."
"Leaving so soon? Jin Yi and the others haven't arrived yet!"
Huo Yunting glanced at him and said, "They won't be coming tonight."
"Impossible! They promised to come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
As soon as I opened WeChat, I saw that Jin Yi had sent a message in the WeChat group of several people.
[Zixuan, I have to go on a business trip tonight. Let's make an appointment when I get back.]
Liang Zixuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and typed quickly on his phone.
[No, what's wrong with you?! You can't even spare a few hours?! Don't you know what's going on with Old Huo right now?!]
Jin Yi replied quickly and tagged Liang Zixuan and Huo Yunting.
Something really went wrong at the branch office tonight. I'll treat you all to a drink and make amends when I get back. I'll be responsible for tonight's incident! I'm busy catching a plane right now, so I won't tell you any more.
Huo Yunting did not reply and directly exited the group chat.
Liang Zixuan was stunned for a moment and looked up in disbelief.
"Old Huo, what's wrong with you?! Jin Yi suddenly went on a business trip and there's nothing we can do. If you just quit the group, won't that embarrass him?!"
Huo Yunting put away his phone with a calm expression, "You'll understand if you go to his house."
Although he lost his position as the president of Huo Group this time, he also saw some of the people around him clearly, which was also quite good.
"What do you mean?! Do you suspect Jin Yi didn't come on purpose?!"
Liang Zixuan looked at him with some anger, obviously feeling that he had wronged Jin Yi.
"We've been brothers for so many years, and this is how you think of Jin Yi?! If I hadn't come today, would you have also thought that I didn't care about our brotherhood?"
Huo Yunting looked somewhat helpless, and no one knew where his cleverness in business had gone.
"Go to his house first and see."
"I'm not going!" Liang Zixuan suddenly raised his voice and looked at Huo Yunting with disappointment. "We've been brothers for so many years, and I believed in Jin Yi! But you... have disappointed me so much!"
"I'm so sorry to disappoint you."
Not only did Liang Zixuan not see any apology on his face, but he felt that the look in his eyes when he looked at him was very calm, so calm that he felt that his anger was a joke in Huo Yunting's eyes.
"When Jin Yi comes back, I hope you'll apologize to him!"
After saying that, Liang Zixuan left angrily.
After walking out of the club, Liang Zixuan still had some anger on his face, and he only calmed down a little after getting into the car.
Thinking of the expression on Huo Yunting's face when he spoke just now, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and decided to go to Jin Yi's house. As long as he was sure that Jin Yi was not at home, it would prove that Huo Yunting had misunderstood Jin Yi.
He quickly started the car and sped towards Jin Yi's house. When he arrived at the door of Jin Yi's villa, Liang Zixuan saw that the lights in the living room were on.
He rolled down the car window and through the living room window, he could clearly see Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe sitting on the sofa chatting, both with smiles on their faces.
Thinking about how he had just said in the group that he was busy catching a flight, and how he not only believed him but also quarreled with Huo Yunting about it, he felt that his behavior just now was ridiculous.
He pushed open the door and got out of the car. A gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver unconsciously, but it was not as cold as his heart.
He quickly walked to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell. Soon Jin Yi came to open the door.
When he saw Liang Zixuan outside the door, the smile on his face froze for a moment.
"Zixuan, why are you here? Aren't you here to accompany..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Zixuan punched him.
Jin Yi took several steps back before he could regain his balance. He covered his swollen and painful face and angrily said, "Liang Zixuan, are you crazy?!"
"Am I crazy or are you?! Yun Ting encountered such a big thing, and not only did you and Qi Yunzhe not go over, you even lied to me and said that something happened at the branch office and you had to go on a business trip?! Are you still brothers like this?!"
Facing Liang Zixuan's questioning, Jin Yi looked calm, without even a hint of guilt.
"It hasn't been like that for a long time. He was just the CEO of Huo's company, so he's just trying to maintain a superficial harmony."
Liang Zixuan's eyes were full of disbelief and questioning.
"What did you say?! Have you forgotten that we grew up together as brothers?! And Yun Ting has been so good to us over the years, how could you be so ungrateful?!"
Jin Yi sneered, "Ungrateful? If it weren't for the Huo Group, our three companies would have developed much better. Why don't you say that it was Huo Yunting who was suppressing us all these years?"
Seeing the unwillingness and anger in Jin Yi's eyes, Liang Zixuan could hardly believe his eyes.
"If it weren't for Yun Ting's help, our families wouldn't have been able to enter the capital so quickly. He paved so many roads for us, and you turned a blind eye to all of that?!"
"That was his own initiative. If I were the president of Huo's, I could give it away freely. But are you so grateful just for a few contracts?! Huo's company will also benefit from cooperating with us."
"Whether you make a profit or not is different from whether you are willing to cooperate with us!"
Jin Yi was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Liang Zixuan and said word by word, "Whatever you say, since he's no longer the CEO of Huo's, I don't have to be so cautious in accompanying him. You don't have to call us to any events where he's around, and we won't go."
"What's the difference between what you're doing and kicking someone when they're down?!"
"If you think it's kicking someone when they're down, then I have nothing to say."
Looking at the indifferent expressions of Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe, Liang Zixuan's eyes were full of self-mockery.
"I was arguing with Yun Ting when he left the group just now. Now I realize that I trusted you too much and overestimated our brotherhood."
"The brotherhood between you and me has always been there."
Liang Zixuan had a mocking smile on his face, "No need, because I don't know when your brotherhood towards me will suddenly disappear."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jin Yi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Qi Yunzhe.
"No need to chase him, he will figure it out one day."
Liang Zixuan drove all the way home, took out his cell phone and wanted to find someone to talk to about this, but he didn't know who to call.
He lost two brothers overnight.
I thought they would be so close for the rest of their lives, but now I realize that some people have already drifted apart.
…
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiao's press conference started on time.
Xun Zi sat in the main seat, holding the microphone and said, "The Xiao family's press conference this time is mainly to make some statements regarding the rumors that Haoyu Company used illegal construction materials."
