Chapter 766 Humiliating Zhong Yi
Qiao Xi quickly reached out and pinched his lips, "Don't mess around."
Huo Xingzhou chuckled softly.
That cold and intense face is really bewitching.
Qiao Xi subconsciously pursed the corners of her lips, where there was still the residual warmth of his touch.
This man is really...
"Old Chen is still here."
Qiao Xi reminded in a low voice.
Old Chen quickly said, "I didn't see anything."
Then the baffle was lowered, and the front and back spaces were separated.
Qiao Xi said uncomfortably, "Is Jiaojiao's marriage really settled?"
"My parents probably won't object."
"Your Huo family's attitude towards marriage is really... a bit casual."
At the beginning, Huo Xingzhou was happy.
Now, Huo Sijiao is about to get married again.
"It's destined, fate." Huo Xingzhou was very calm. "As long as I can take responsibility for my own life, that's enough."
Qiao Xi nodded silently, "That's right, I think Jiaojiao likes Xie Xubai very much."
"You don't have to worry so much."
Huo Xingzhou reached out and gently stroked her belly, "Just wait patiently for our child to be born."
By then, everything was settled.
"good!"
Qiao Xi nodded vigorously.
…
Night falls.
The prosperous imperial capital is brightly lit.
The old house of the Zhong family, located halfway up the mountain, remains majestic and solemn.
The living room was quite lively.
Zhong Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, with only Wan Jiang accompanying him.
Looks a bit pitiful.
The old man of the Zhong family sat on a chair, his hands folded at his sides. Standing beside him were Zhong Lingxiao and his son, Zhong Hongfei, both with mocking expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere is very tense.
The old man held a cup of Ceylon tea and said, "You have to use a wheelchair because your leg is broken? You only thought about coming back after being discharged from the hospital for several days?"
He was very dissatisfied with what Zhong Yi had done recently.
He lost his composure for a country girl.
He plotted for her once and twice, and finally had a mistress at home, and broke off his engagement with Lu Yingxue.
Going to Shisanwan Wharf, I ended up getting injured.
He was very disappointed!
The old man had some expectations for Zhong Yi before.
But the successive blows made him lose confidence in Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi said softly, "My leg isn't broken, I'm just too weak to use a wheelchair. I'll be fine in a while, definitely before the ninth day of the Lunar New Year."
"The ninth day?"
When the old man heard the date, a hint of indifference appeared at the corners of his lips.
"You're on your own."
"Thank you for the reminder, old man."
Zhong Yi was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no sign of decadence. But his handsome face did look a bit weak.
"You don't need to be so sarcastic with me." The old man stood up with his cane and said, "Whether you are okay or not, Chujiu, it has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter even if you are in a wheelchair. Anyway, you have lost all your shame for a married woman."
He can't stand men's love affairs the most.
It is not reliable to hand over the Zhong family to Zhong Yi.
The old man was worried that one day he would give away the Zhong family's century-old foundation for that woman.
It would be better to find another candidate. Although he is not outstanding, he is still acceptable.
"Butler, help me upstairs."
The old man is old and his legs and feet are not very flexible.
Zhong Lingxiao quickly said, "Grandpa, Miss Lu and Zhong Yi have broken off their engagement. But she still wants to take care of your health. I'll call her tomorrow and ask her to come over."
"You arrange it."
The old man walked up the stairs slowly.
Zhong Yi lowered his eyes in the living room, and Wan Jiang poured him a glass of water.
"Master, please drink some water."
"good."
Zhong Yi picked up the glass and took a sip.
Zhong Lingxiao looked at Wan Jiang and said loudly, "Wan Jiang, I want to drink some red wine. Could you please go to the wine cellar and get me a bottle?"
Wan Jiang said with some embarrassment: "Master, I have to take care of the young master and can't leave. How about you ask a servant to help?"
"If I remember correctly, you're employed by the Zhong family. Are you only there to serve Zhong Yi?" Zhong Lingxiao sat on the sofa and said somewhat arrogantly, "Wan Jiang, are you... even going to interfere with our conversation?"
The old man has obviously given up on it.
The people in the Zhong family are very opportunistic.
In addition, my favorite projects have been hit one after another, and now there are few people around me who can be used.
Wan Jiang is a loyal person.
Zhong Yi said sarcastically, "What else can we brothers talk about? We are not born of the same mother."
"How did you talk to your eldest brother? You have no manners at all. I shouldn't have let that woman secretly give birth to you. You're just as greedy as she is, wanting to gain status through having a child!"
Zhong Hongfei has always disliked the unruly and presumptuous Zhong Yi, but he is very submissive to his eldest son.
It was as if the person who cheated in the first place was not him.
Zhong Yi scoffed, "Greedy? Who said he was unmarried and was tempted by the beauty of a female college student? And then he threw her away like a worn-out shoe after getting what she wanted? Zhong Hongfei, if you really hated me, you would have taken care of your lower body back then, and now I wouldn't be bothering you."
"How dare you talk to me? I'm your biological father!"
"Do you need to be polite when talking to someone who is worse than an animal?"
"you……"
Zhong Hongfei directly picked up the teacup on the coffee table in the living room and threw it over. Fortunately, Wan Jiang blocked it quickly.
The teacup did not fall on Zhong Yi, but hit Wan Jiang's neck, leaving an obvious red mark.
"What are you, an assistant? Come, take him away!" Zhong Hongfei is an old playboy who relies on power. He has been suppressed by Zhong Yi for several years and he hates him more and more.
Now that he heard that the old man was going to give the position of heir to Zhong Lingxiao, he began to feel proud again.
A large part of the Zhong family's bodyguards were Zhong Lingxiao's men. Zhong Yi had been suppressed recently. For the sake of acting, he also withdrew those people.
"Master Zhong!"
No matter how good Wan Jiang is at fighting, he cannot defeat so many experts.
He could only be dragged away forcibly.
Zhong Yi sat in a wheelchair, his handsome face like jade full of coldness.
Zhong Lingxiao folded his hands casually and said slowly, "Father, please go back to your room and rest. Zhong Yi and I still have some things to talk about. After all, we won't have many opportunities to meet in the future."
"Well, don't spoil this rebellious son. An elder brother is like a father, you should teach him a lesson."
Zhong Hongfei straightened his clothes and left angrily.
Only two brothers were left in the living room.
It suddenly became much quieter.
Zhong Lingxiao poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly. He looked at Zhong Yi and said, "Actually, I've never understood why an illegitimate child can show off in front of me. Don't you think your birth was a mistake?"
Zhong Yi showed no sign of weakness: "If you were capable, I wouldn't have to go back to the Zhong family. It's because you're too useless. Do you think I'd be willing to go back?"
He had no choice at the time.
The old man came to his door, so he had no choice but to leave.
Otherwise, it will bring endless difficulties to Moon Village.
Bang!
A crisp slap was heard.
