Chapter 44 He's not Junjun's brother?
Su Muci's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't concentrate on a single word of the movie plot; her mind was filled with the prenuptial agreement.
She swallowed hard: "Mr. Huo is so confident, will the Zhou family really go bankrupt?"
"Of course, it all depends on how much you want to cripple Zhou."
His tone was calm, yet it carried a chilling power.
Hearing his confident answer, Su Muci couldn't help but think of the crown card from earlier and couldn't resist asking further:
Does GX Radio have a deep partnership with the film and television industry? Why are people at the cinema so afraid of your card?
"In the business world, cooperation is everywhere. As long as you're making money in RMB, everyone's in the same circle. As for that card..."
Huo Zhan turned his head to look at her, his eyes deep, and asked, "May I ask Miss Su a question first?"
"Can."
Do you believe me?
Su Muci replied almost without hesitation: "Mr. Huo is Junjun's brother, I believe him."
"What if I weren't her brother?"
"!"
Su Muci's pupils contracted sharply, her heart raced, and her voice trembled slightly: "You...aren't Junjun's brother?"
Since learning that he was Junjun's brother, Su Muci had never thought about this question.
What if he isn't Junjun's brother?
Who else could it be?
The light and shadow on the screen flickered on her face, and Su Muci suddenly realized how dark and empty this VIP theater was, with only her and Huo Zhan present at this moment.
Huo Zhan has helped her so much; she shouldn't be afraid.
But this assumption stirred up her deepest, most primal fears.
If he isn't Junjun's brother, then why is he approaching her?
Is this yet another trap set by Zhou Mengying?
Is this a new game of hunting for love?
Will he end up deceiving her again and pushing her into an even deeper abyss?
Fear made her tremble uncontrollably, and she accidentally knocked over the milk tea cup next to her.
With a "smack," the milk tea spilled all over the floor.
Looking at the liquid splashed on the ground, Huo Zhan had his answer.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Huo, I…”
He interrupted her as she was about to apologize: "Ms. Su, you don't need to apologize."
He looked at her and said firmly, "As long as I'm here, you don't need to apologize to anyone, including me."
"But……"
Su Muci was about to bend down to clean up the milk tea cups when she saw Huo Zhan suddenly squat down in front of her!
"I made an inappropriate joke just now, please don't mind it. As for these things, I'll take care of them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhan took out a soft silk scarf from his pocket and gently supported her ankle with his other hand!
Su Muci's heart suddenly stopped beating at that moment. As she watched him carefully wipe the milk tea off her shoes with a silk scarf, her mind went blank.
"I'll go outside and buy you a new cup of milk tea."
A deep, magnetic voice reached her ears, and Su Muci barely snapped out of her daze, looking again at what was in front of her...
He had already wiped her little leather shoes clean and put the milk tea cup on the ground into the bag, his movements swift and efficient.
She stammered in response, "Ah, okay..."
After Huo Zhan's figure disappeared at the door of the private room, Su Muci felt like she was dreaming.
What just happened?
Why did Mr. Huo kneel down to wipe her shoes?!
Su Muci looked down at the cleaned floor and her shiny new leather shoes, still incredulous with surprise.
Because it happened so suddenly, she completely forgot to refuse.
Fortunately, one thing is certain: his assumption that it wasn't Junjun's brother was just a joke.
Su Muchi's tense heart eased slightly.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the theater:
"Sorry, the VIP screening room is completely booked out for today!"
"Our Young Master Fu wants to see a movie! In Jiangcheng, who dares to steal Young Master Fu's spot?"
"...I'm really sorry, but someone, escort these young masters out!"
The last voice is that of the cinema manager.
And the sentence above...
Su Muci frowned: It's Fu Hengzhi's cronies!
Outside, Fu Hengzhi and his two brothers, who had arranged to book the entire theater for a movie, were "invited" out of the VIP cinema, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.
The young master was indignant: "Young Master Fu, has the sun risen in the west in Jiangcheng? This cinema even dares to kick you out?"
Fu Hengzhi's tightly furrowed brows remained furrowed for a long time.
Logically, the news that he had been temporarily removed from his position as president by the group should not be made public during the one-month probationary period given to him by the shareholders.
Did these opportunists hear some inside information? How dare they treat him like this?
Fu Hengzhi sat on the sofa in the hall with a gloomy face, speaking with his innate arrogance.
"No rush, the movie in that theater still has twenty minutes left. Let's wait for them to come out. I want to see who in Jiangcheng has such a big entourage!"
After saying that, the two brothers lost interest in watching the movie and sat down on the sofa, smoking cigarettes, looking like they were going to make the person inside squat out!
When Huo Zhan returned to the theater, he found two more cinema security guards outside.
The person in charge stepped forward to explain, "Sir, someone tried to break in just now, but we sent bodyguards to stop them. We will definitely protect you and the lady inside, so please rest assured."
Who trespassed?
"President Fu of the Fu Group and two other young masters from Jiangcheng."
"?"
A dark glint flashed in Huo Zhan's eyes. After a moment's thought, he said, "Do me a favor. If you do it well, I'll promote you to be the head of the entire Central China region."
The cinema manager's face immediately lit up with joy: "Please give your instructions!"
...
Inside the theater, Su Muci ignored the commotion outside and continued watching the movie. She gradually became engrossed in the plot, and her emotions recovered from the sudden incident.
Before she knew it, a freshly brewed cup of hot milk tea was placed in front of her.
Accompanied by Hozan's magnetic voice:
"I went out just now, so I don't know what happened in the middle of the story. Miss Su, could you explain it to me?"
Su Muci took the hot milk tea in surprise, nodded, and began to vividly explain the missed part of the story to him.
Huo Zhan sat next to her, and under the pretext of not being able to hear clearly, he brought his face close to her mouth.
As she spoke, her warm breath gently brushed against his ear, causing his Adam's apple to bob involuntarily and his body to gradually react.
It turns out that sitting quietly with the girl you love and feeling the purest thrill is so wonderful.
He was fantasizing about embracing her and gently kissing her lips...
Su Muci was still explaining when she turned her head by chance and noticed that Huo Zhan's legs were extremely tense, his eyebrows were furrowed into a shallow crease, and his jawline was taut and straight.
Does he/she seem very uncomfortable?
"Mr. Huo, are you alright?"
"Hmm, it's alright..."
His voice became a little hoarse, but fortunately the dim lighting around him prevented the change in his trousers from being noticed.
He was trying his best to control the heat and make it subside.
Before he could recover, a soft, warm little hand suddenly touched his forehead, carrying her unique fragrance.
Then, her rosy cheeks drew closer, her eyes filled with worry.
"Mr. Huo, your forehead is burning hot!"
Huo Zhan noticed Su Muci's flustered and worried expression. He suddenly raised his large hand and grabbed her small hand that was resting on his forehead.
The moment their eyes met, the heat in the man's eyes almost scorched her.
His deep, magnetic voice was husky and incredibly seductive: "It's not just my forehead that's burning; the rest of me is burning even hotter... Miss Su, would you like to touch it?"
