Chapter 783 Is She That Powerful?
Huo Xingzhou naturally wouldn't do something that would only end up hurting himself.
If he drove Zhong Yi away today, Qiao Xi would be in a difficult situation.
Although they are husband and wife, they still need to have some sense of propriety.
He couldn't kill her love for him.
Zhong Yi said softly, "I will also keep watch here tonight."
"what ever."
Huo Xingzhou spoke calmly, but the disgust in his eyes was undisguised.
"I heard that there was a little trouble at the Xie family's engagement party last night, and your sister was also affected. Was it you or Xie Xubai who arranged Pei Chun's matter?" Zhong Yi was not present last night and knew limited information.
He came here just to use the process of elimination to define a range.
Huo Xingzhou knew what he was talking about, and said while drinking his tea, "I didn't interfere."
Zhong Yi said, "Xie Xubai is not so cruel. He is a gentleman."
Huo Xingzhou took two sips of tea and said, "He was the one who gave the drug. The others might have been displeased with Pei Chun. I only care about the results. There's no point in pursuing this matter."
It's nothing to worry about and won't disrupt his plans.
"The live broadcast was not done by Xie Xubai." Zhong Yi had asked Wan Jiang to eliminate those rich second-generations last night, and also sent people to the scene to check.
It would be interesting if it wasn't Xie Xubai or those people.
He thought of the list that Wan Jiang had brought out. There were more than a dozen people on the list of people staying at Feng Moli Hotel, but only one of them appeared at the Xie family's engagement party yesterday.
Feng Nanxi.
An eighteen-year-old girl has such great ability?
Zhong Yi instinctively rejected his own idea, but still held on to a tentative thought.
He caught a glimpse of Huo Xingzhou standing up and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm at home. Do I need to report where I'm going? If you really want to know, I'll go to the kitchen to help Qiao Xi. Please do as you please..."
Huo Xingzhou left him and went away.
Zhong Yi placed the teacup on the coffee table and said calmly, "Wan Jiang, is Pei Gan going on a blind date with Feng Nanxi?"
"There is a rumor that the Pei family is planning to marry into the Feng family. The eldest son of the Feng family is a sleazy fool, and the young lady of the Feng family is young and easier to control. Although the Feng family has fallen to the level of a second- or third-rate family, the Pei family firmly believes that a lean camel is bigger than a horse."
Therefore, it is worthwhile to exchange a useless playboy from your own family for the opportunity to control the Feng family's property.
"When is the blind date?"
"It seems to be tomorrow at noon. The two juniors are scheduled to have a meal. This meal has been approved by the elders, so it probably won't be easy to refuse."
"Okay, go find out the address and tell me."
"yes."
Wan Jiang asked tentatively, "Master Zhong, do you really think Fei Luan was the one who live-broadcasted the Xie family's engagement party last night? But why did she do that?"
"That's something she'll have to ask herself."
Zhong Yi couldn't figure it out either.
"It's so difficult to find Fei Luan. Master Zhong, I think we're looking in the wrong direction. That Miss Feng definitely has nothing to do with Fei Luan. She's just a pure and foolish female college student, with a bit of cleverness at best. She wasn't famous before, and has been mediocre since she was a child."
Wan Jiang naturally checked all the information.
"You'll know if you try it."
Zhong Yi also tends to agree with Wan Jiang's opinion, but it's just too coincidental.
If there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.
Gotta give it a try.
"So we really have to have New Year's Eve dinner here and stay up all night?"
"Why not!"
Zhong Yi supported himself on the sofa with both hands and said softly, "Help me up. I'm going to the third floor to see Grandpa Cheng. We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's time to have a good chat."
"yes."
Wan Jiang carefully helped him up.
Zhongyi's injuries have mostly healed, so she forced herself not to use a wheelchair to come here today. She's still very weak, but the doctor said she could move around more often.
Wan Jiang helped him walk up the stairs slowly and said, "You should stay in the wheelchair. I can push you and save some energy. By the ninth day of the New Year, you should be able to stand up and walk on your own."
Zhong Yi glanced at him and said, "I don't dare sit in a wheelchair to see the old man and make him worry."
"oh."
It turned out to be a filial piety.
Wan Jiang didn't dare to say much.
…
The Huo family's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared very quickly. All kinds of cooking methods were used in the kitchen, including frying, steaming and boiling. Sun Weimeng's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was also very well prepared.
Very fragrant.
The soup looks very rich and juicy, and it is made with the best ingredients.
The whole family sat at the large round table, Cheng Han at the head, Qiao Xi and Zhong Yi on either side of him, and below them were Huo Xingzhou, Sun Weimeng and others.
"Cheers! Happy New Year!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, making a crisp sound.
Then he sat down.
Sun Weimeng greeted enthusiastically: "Everyone try the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that I made. I'll serve it to you."
He was like a busy butterfly, serving a cup of tea to everyone.
"Eat it! You're welcome! This is a secret recipe I got specially. I've tried it and it tastes pretty good." Sun Weimeng stared at Lao Chen and Xiao Yuan until they drank it.
On such a day, no one else refused his kindness and took a few sips symbolically. Not to mention, it tasted pretty good.
But Qiao Xi didn't touch it. Adding crab and coix seed to it would cause uterine contractions, and she would be letting Sun Weimeng down.
Sun Weimeng placed her cup in front of Huo Xingzhou and said, "She is your wife. If she can't drink it, you can drink it instead. Don't let me down. Even my parents haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment."
Zhong Yi said with a forced smile, "I don't think Mr. Huo likes it very much. But I like to drink it. Please give me the bowl, Major General Sun."
"OK!"
Chefs enjoy seeing their cooking being eaten up the most. Sun Weimeng walked around Huo Xingzhou and placed Qiao Xi's bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of Zhong Yi.
Huo Xingzhou's eyes turned slightly cold.
Cheng Han took a bite and put the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall aside, taking in all of this.
On one side is Zhong Yi, who is close to her, and on the other side is her apprentice's husband.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, he doesn't get involved.
He just reminded her, "Ayi, when you were little you often shared a bowl with Miss Qiao. Now that you've grown up, you should be more careful."
"I get used to it, and I forget it easily."
Zhongyi ate with great relish and finished two bowls in no time.
Then, he took out a big red envelope and asked Wan Jiang to hand it to Qiao Xi, saying, "This is a New Year's gift. It makes up for what I missed before."
"I have one too."
Cheng Han also gave Qiao Xi a red envelope, "Keep it."
"Ayi, Grandpa Cheng..." Qiao Xi held two thick red envelopes, her nose sour, "This is my first time celebrating the New Year with so many people."
Zhong Yi said: "I will spend the New Year with you every year from now on."
Huo Xingzhou's face looked a little gloomy.
Sun Weimeng, his cheeks puffed up from eating, said casually, "Huo Er, why do you look so grim? Didn't you prepare any New Year's gifts for Qiao Xi?"
Several pairs of eyes looked at him, and Huo Xingzhou's face turned completely dark.
