Chapter 567 He is jealous of their long-awaited reunion
In the long corridor with complex lights and shadows, the Zhong family has a long history.
When the two brothers walked out of the study, the harmonious atmosphere changed.
Zhong Lingxiao held Lin Xifei's hand and said with a sincere smile, "Zhong Yi, it seems that the old man has given you a difficult problem. It's less than two months until the end of the year. I'm afraid you won't be able to fulfill his wish..."
His original weakness turned into a strength.
How could Zhong Lingxiao not be happy? He had been extremely restrained and patient so as not to get carried away.
"Things are unpredictable. I advise you not to be too happy too soon." Zhong Yi's gaze was like a sharp needle, stinging Lin Xifei's eyes. She subconsciously hid behind Zhong Lingxiao.
Seeing this, Zhong Yi snorted coldly and left quickly.
Zhong Lingxiao comforted Lin Xifei and said, "Don't be afraid, he's just venting his frustration. You're truly my lucky star. Today's harvest is beyond my expectations."
"Um."
There was some hesitation in Lin Xifei's eyes.
She regretted getting involved in the vortex of the wealthy family's struggle.
Will I really be able to escape unscathed by then?
"First, go pick out a villa and put it in your name. Then go interview a nutritionist and a nanny. You can ask me for anything you want, and I'll make it happen."
Zhong Lingxiao now holds her in the palm of his hand and gives her whatever she wants.
Lin Xifei nodded, gently stroking her flat belly. She was now four weeks pregnant. The hospital said a paternity test could be done at five weeks, but it would increase the risk of miscarriage.
So there was no way Zhong Lingxiao would agree to it, so it would have to wait at least 12 weeks.
She still has time.
If we can convince him, it would be better to wait until after the birth.
"Ling Xiao, the old man said he wants a paternity test. I'm scared. What if I can't keep the baby? If we can delay it, let's wait until the baby is healthy enough. This might be your only child, and I don't dare take the risk."
Zhong Lingxiao did not refuse directly, but considered the importance of this child.
"We'll see how things turn out. The old man places great importance on blood ties. When Zhong Yi was found, he went through many hospitals for paternity tests and ultimately confirmed that he was a member of the Zhong family."
"Ling Xiao, I'll listen to you. I'm banned now, and you're the only one I can rely on. But I leaked the news to you in Haicheng, and I'm afraid Zhong Yi will always hold a grudge against me. If he attacks me and the child..."
Lin Xifei leaned in his arms and said, "You must protect us."
"He won't find a chance to strike!"
Zhong Lingxiao would never give him a chance!
"I believe you."
Lin Xifei pretended to cry, tears streaming down her fair and beautiful face.
Only by saying this can Zhong Lingxiao's suspicion be dispelled.
The baby in her belly is not his at all!
…
Huo Family Garden Villa.
In the master bedroom.
Qiao Xi had endured it all the way, and now she didn't have to worry about ears.
She watched Huo Xingzhou confide the shocking secret: "Mr. Huang said that the woman suffering from narcolepsy is Grandpa Cheng's biological daughter!"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flashed with understanding. "No wonder Lu Bannong specifically mentioned her last name during the competition, but didn't allow the media to take a clear picture of her face. Turns out she was fishing!"
Things from the previous generation are difficult to verify.
Qiao Xi frowned. "Mr. Huang only told me that Grandpa Cheng's daughter committed suicide more than 20 years ago, which led to his dejected retirement. That woman does look like Grandpa Cheng's daughter, but he can't be 100% sure. Could this be a setup?"
Many guesses flashed through her mind.
"If this is a setup, then Lu Bannong deliberately found a look-alike woman as bait to lure Cheng Han out. It seems only when Cheng Han shows up in person can we tell the truth."
The crux of everything lies with Cheng Han.
Qiao Xi was worried: "Where on earth did Grandpa Cheng go?"
Huo Xingzhou smoothed her brow with his fingers and whispered soothingly, "The old gentleman is very experienced. He once lived in seclusion for many years without being found. It seems he has the ability to hide in three places when it comes to this kind of thing. Don't worry too much. Besides, I've been asking Old Chen to send people to search, and I'll let you know as soon as I find any trace of him."
"Well, I hope he's okay!"
Qiao Xi sighed lightly.
There was an unshakable worry in her eyes. Grandpa Cheng was very important to her.
"Regardless of whether that woman is Grandpa Cheng's biological daughter or not, I will win her over to my care after I report to the Chinese Medicine Association next month. I will treat her personally and will explain everything to Grandpa Cheng when he returns."
"You're very thoughtful."
Huo Xingzhou looked down at her and said, "Starting tomorrow, Old Chen will take you to the Zhong family. I need to focus on dealing with the Xiang family. This time, I must completely defeat them and let Grandma vent her anger."
He didn't say much about the Zhong family so as not to cause her unnecessary worries.
"Okay, just do your own thing and don't focus too much on me."
"How can that be possible?"
Huo Xingzhou looked at her quietly, his eyes were deep, like the rippling surface of a lake.
"My focus should be on you."
His voice softened a bit, and his thin lips gently touched the side of her face. When she thought about how often she would see Zhong Yi, this missed opportunity felt like the prelude to a long-awaited reunion in a play.
It is full of regrets and conflicts, as well as depression followed by ups and downs.
He felt a little jealous and dissatisfied with the Zhong family.
Qiao Xi noticed that his mood seemed a little off and wanted to look up and ask him what was wrong.
But the words haven't been spoken yet.
Her red lips were covered by him, and her breathing became disordered.
His body was warm, pressed tightly against hers, carefully avoiding her right hand. He deliberately led her to the bed. Qiao Xi felt dizzy and lay on the soft big bed.
The scattered hair blocked her vision, and she couldn't stop the man's passionate kiss.
It's getting worse.
With a sense of possession and control.
Some jealousy cannot be quelled in a short period of time.
“Huo…”
A sound escaped her lips and teeth.
But he refused to stop no matter what.
Qiao Xi's hands fell to her side and she slowly closed her eyes. If that's the case, then let's sink together.
The temperature inside the room rose.
Men and women were breathing rapidly.
The cell phone on the coffee table kept buzzing and vibrating, as if it was asking for death, and it had to disrupt such a beautiful atmosphere.
Qiao Xi pushed his chest: "Phone!"
"Don't worry about it."
He had been patient for several days, and after going to the Zhong family today, he was on the verge of exploding.
He leaned in and kissed her.
But the phone on the coffee table kept vibrating, as if it would keep ringing until dawn if I didn't answer it.
Qiao Xi crossed her arms over her chest and gently reminded him, "Maybe it's urgent. You answer the phone first."
He slowly calmed his breathing, then stood up and walked to the coffee table to answer the phone.
"Who?"
"Boss Huo, Xiang Hai is dead!"
There was a sound on the other end of the phone.
