Huo Qifeng was stunned and couldn't say a word for a moment.
After a long pause, he looked somewhat apologetic: "Ziyi, that's not what I meant..."
Su Lexin coldly interrupted them: "Alright, my time is limited. Mr. Ziyi, have you thought it through?"
Fu Ziyi moved his lips: "I..."
Tang Yaoyao interrupted him, looked at Su Lexin and sneered: "I've thought it through, I'm not helping you."
Although she hadn't known her brother for long, she knew he would give his life to repay Huo Yu for saving her.
No matter what demands Su Lexin makes, even if it means dying here, he will never say no.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qifeng frowned: "What gives you the right to make decisions for Ziyi?"
She certainly wasn't qualified to make decisions for others, but she had her own selfish motives. Her brother had always protected her before, and this time, she wouldn't let him get hurt either.
She looked coldly at everyone, reached out and grasped Fu Ziyi's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, and said, word by word, "Because I am his girlfriend, why can't I stand up for him?"
Everyone: "...!!"
Rosie staggered back a step, quickly grabbing the chair for support, nearly fainting.
How could that be...
How did she become Ziyi's girlfriend?
That makes sense. How could a man like Ziyi deign to become a bodyguard for a woman?
This only proves that this woman does indeed have a very important relationship with him.
Tang Yaoyao was actually his girlfriend...
Why is this happening...?
How could that be?
"Ziyi, you're in a relationship?" Qiu Jie was taken aback, pursed her lips, and wanted to know the truth.
Fu Ziyi instinctively wanted to deny and clarify, but his sister's identity could not be made public now. Besides, Qi Feng had previously said that his sister was a liar, and he could not let her bear that stigma again.
He nodded: "Mm."
Qiu Jie smiled, a rare occurrence, as she looked at Huo Yu lying unconscious on the bed. She felt both relieved and saddened: "Your Uncle Huo was always worried that your personality would prevent you from finding a wife. Now it seems we were overthinking it."
"How could you date a con artist?" Huo Qifeng still believed that Tang Yaoyao was taking advantage of her father's serious illness to swindle money: "She is deceiving your feelings."
Huo Xueyin wiped away her tears, shocked by the sudden news. She then subconsciously looked at her cousin, only to see her eyes filled with hatred.
He sighed.
All she wants to know now is whether her father will get better.
Su Lexin frowned and coldly interrupted them: "So, you're not planning to save Mr. Huo?"
"Of course I'll save them!" Tang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyebrows lifting slightly, and a hint of cunning appeared in her fox-like eyes: "But in this world, you're not the only one who can save them."
Huo Qifeng didn't want to listen to her at all. He returned to the bedside, guarding his father. His face was pale and his mood was heavy.
Qiu Jie felt a surge of affection for Zi Yi because she was his girlfriend.
She watched Ziyi grow up; the girl he chose shouldn't be a bad person.
"Miss Tang, is what you're saying true?"
Tang Yaoyao nodded, then looked at Su Lexin: "However, I'm very curious, what exactly is your grudge against Brother Ziyi? What do you want?"
Su Lexin didn't believe anyone else could save Huo Yu. Her eyes were full of contempt as she said coldly, "Fu Ziyi is the head of the Six Sects. He has a subordinate named Shen Bai, a pharmacist. If you want me to save Mr. Huo, hand over Shen Bai to me, along with your pharmaceutical department."
Pharmaceutical division...
What shocked everyone was not Fu Ziyi's identity, because even those closest to him knew about his powerful background; what shocked them was what Su Lexin wanted.
The pharmaceutical department was established with a lot of effort by Zi Yi. The pharmacists in it are all very capable. They are distributed in various cities and they only listen to Fu Zi Yi.
If this woman uses it for good, fine; but if she uses it for bad...
Thinking about the consequences, I felt that things would get out of control.
Qiu Jie refused outright: "No way."
"Don't you love your husband very much?"
“Yes, I love my husband very much, so I love what he loves. Ziyi is someone we watched grow up. How important is the pharmaceutical department? If you order them to make some vicious drugs, wouldn’t that ruin all of Ziyi’s hard work?” Su Lexin smiled coldly, her eyes filled with hatred, and said coldly, “As long as I have Chen Bai, I will only destroy the pharmaceutical department if I take it over.”
Shenbai...
Could this woman have a grudge against Su Lexin?
Huo Qifeng also looked over. The pharmaceutical department was only a small part of the Sixth Department. Signing a contract meant that as long as she didn't use the pharmaceutical department for bad purposes, giving it to her could save his father's life...
Thinking of this, he spoke up to persuade him: "Ziyi, after the pharmaceutical department is gone, we can find someone to set up a new one, but my father, your Uncle Huo is critically ill, he can't wait."
Fu Ziyi: "Impossible!"
His voice was icy, and without the slightest hesitation, he coldly rejected Huo Qifeng and Su Lexin.
Huo Qifeng felt a surge of anger.
Is a small department really less valuable than his father's life?
Fu Ziyi's eyes were icy cold as he said, word by word, "If you want my life, I can give it to you, as long as you can save Uncle Huo, I will not pursue your criminal liability. But taking any one of the Six Gates is impossible."
Tang Yaoyao realized how important the Six Gates were to her.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jie's eyes welled up with tears: "Silly child, your Uncle Huo is old, but you are still young. What are you saying?"
Tang Yaoyao sighed softly. Fortunately, Su Lexin only wanted the pharmaceutical department. If she wanted her brother's life, she could have gotten it.
Su Lexin never expected that they, who were not family, could be so harmonious.
All her meticulous planning over the years is about to be ruined.
Unwilling to give up, she looked at Qiu Jie and delivered the final blow: "Madam Huo, since you are so heartless towards Huo Yu, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I won't save him, and I'm afraid even a celestial being can't save Mr. Huo."
Qiu Jie remained silent. Over the years, Zi Yi had visited her often, just like a son. She would tell Huo Yu anything on her mind. He was a good boy, so how could she take away what belonged to her child?
If it were anything else, she could try to get it from Ziyi, but it just so happens to be the pharmaceutical department.
That was a wish he had since childhood.
She vaguely remembered that when he was nine years old, he came to Huo Yu and said that he had dreamed of his lost sister and that he would definitely give her a gift when he found her in the future.
Huo Yu didn't know what girls liked, so he came to ask her.
Daughters love beauty, but giving cosmetics as a gift is too ordinary. At that time, she jokingly patted his head.
Tell him to keep going, and when he's successful, find his sister and give her a girl who can make all kinds of cosmetics.
This is a truly unique gift.
