Chapter 971: Men's Jealousy
Qiao Xi was not so bold in the past.
But today she could only see Huo Xingzhou, so she closed her eyes.
She also wanted to indulge herself for a moment.
Feel that he is really by your side.
All the worries from last night fell to the ground, and her hand grasped the corner of Huo Xingzhou's clothes.
Huo Xingzhou bit her lip.
On the second floor, Zhong Yi's wheelchair was right by the railing. He saw nothing but darkness and heard no extraneous sounds. Qiao Xi had clearly run downstairs when he heard the car. He asked Wan Jiang to push him out, but he didn't hear any voices.
Something is wrong.
But Zhongyi's intuition told him that there was someone at home.
"Wanjiang, are they back?"
Wan Jiang touched his nose a little embarrassedly and replied softly, "Hmm."
I'm back.
At this moment, he was a little relieved that the young master's eyes were temporarily blind.
Otherwise, what kind of Shura field would it be?
Zhong Yi asked softly, "What are they doing? Why is there no sound?"
Wan Jiang: "..."
He didn't know how to answer.
The only choice is silence.
Zhong Yi asked again with a warning tone.
Wan Jiang lowered his voice and said awkwardly, "Master, they are kissing."
He clearly heard Zhong Yi snort coldly.
Wan Jiang whispered, "Master, this is their home. We have no right to stop them from doing anything. Besides, Mr. Huo and Miss Qiao are already husband and wife, and they both have children. Can't you just let go?"
That's what I said.
But Zhong Yi just felt a little unhappy.
Although he agreed with Wan Jiang's words in his heart, he just didn't know why Huo Xingzhou was so proud.
His fingers tapped on the wooden railing of the stairs, making a dull sound.
"Wan Jiang, take me downstairs."
"oh."
Wan Jiang pressed the indoor elevator and took Zhong Yi down.
Qiao Xi in the living room had already been startled by Zhong Yi's movements, and instantly distanced herself from Huo Xingzhou.
She felt a little embarrassed as she watched Wan Jiang and Zhong Yi walk out of the hidden elevator entrance.
But then think about it.
Zhong Yi is invisible now.
So, she felt a little relieved.
"Why didn't you tell us when Mr. Huo came back? I was waiting for news at home anxiously." Zhong Yi's voice sounded faintly. He didn't know which direction Huo Xingzhou was, so he half-lowered his eyes and looked a little casual.
Even though he was blind, Huo Xingzhou still found him an eyesore.
"Young Master Zhong has many eyes and ears, can't you find out this information? I thought you already knew it when Li Cheng was stopped." Huo Xingzhou took Qiao Xi's hand and sat on the sofa in the living room, and took a blanket to cover her.
He poured himself a glass of warm water and took a few sips.
The slightly dry thin lips were also moistened.
Looked nonchalant.
It seemed that after they united to eliminate the enemies outside, the relationship between the two became increasingly hostile and out of control.
They dislike each other.
"I'm not in a good position right now, so I always miss a lot of news."
"Then it's your subordinates' fault for not doing their job well."
Wan Jiang felt a chill on his back.
This is the case of a fire in the city gate that affects the fish in the pond.
He was hurt even though he didn't do anything. A man's jealousy is really unreasonable.
"Wan Jiang, President Huo said you are not doing your job well. What do you think we should do?" Zhong Yi's tone was a little cold.
Wan Jiang wanted to run away on the spot, what could he do?
To die as atonement?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. It's all my fault. The young master was unwell, and I was the one who arranged and dispatched everything. If you have any questions, just come to me. I can handle any beating or scolding you." Wan Jiang admitted his mistake quickly.
He is used to taking the blame.
Seeing their close and indestructible relationship, Huo Xingzhou felt evil in his heart. He stared at Wan Jiang again and again, making his back creep.
"Wan Jiang, I remember you weren't one of Master Zhong's people at first."
"Although it was the old man who asked me to go to Young Master Zhong in the beginning, I knew that Young Master Zhong must be a rare talent, so I turned from evil to good." He recalled that period in the beginning, which was indeed very difficult.
He was in a state of suspicion every day, fearing that Mr. Zhong would accidentally kill him.
Fortunately, I have made it through now.
"Mr. Huo, why did you bring up the previous incident?"
Zhong Yi immediately understood Huo Xingzhou's plan. "Huo Xingzhou, there's no need to sow discord. It's been so long, and I've never regretted doing that."
"Well, that does seem like Young Master Zhong's style. He just kidnapped someone and tortured him to test his loyalty to you. He wanted to see if Wan Jiang would reveal your secrets, but the result was not bad. He didn't say a word..."
Wan Jiang was stunned for a moment.
Was it done by Master Zhong?
Even Qiao Xi was a little bit unconvinced.
But when I think about Zhong Yi's situation in the imperial capital, I can understand it.
He had no choice but to do this. If someone were to plant a nail around him, he wouldn't know when he would be killed. Thinking of this, she felt even more sad and uncomfortable.
Zhong Yi said nonchalantly, "I did do this. Wan Jiang, if you don't want to work for me now, you can leave. I will give you a generous reward."
"No!"
Wan Jiang decisively refused. "It's my honor to work for Master Zhong. Although I feel a little uncomfortable about what you did, I think it was right from your perspective. It also eliminates any barriers between us. I'm willing to keep working for you."
At this time, smart people know what to choose.
Although the torture was indeed painful, it was over now. A prosperous future awaited him, and he would soon become the most powerful person under Master Zhong.
"Boss Huo, it seems you're trying to sow discord in the wrong place."
"No, I'm just trying to dispel your suspicions. It's really enviable to have a good subordinate like Wan Jiang."
Sun Weimeng walked to the door and heard Huo Xingzhou actually envy Zhong Yi for having such a good lackey. He couldn't help but say, "Am I still inferior to Wan Jiang? When it comes to loyalty, no one can compare to me. Huo Xingzhou, don't envy others. Wan Jiang is a blockhead who only knows how to follow orders, but I know how to draw inferences from one example!"
This wave of dragging down others was so obvious that even Wan Jiang was speechless.
No one would lower themselves to argue with Young Master Sun about this matter.
However, the sound of cars outside broke the silence for a moment.
"Aunt Qian, who is that?"
Aunt Qian walked in and said, "Master, there's a big scene outside. Several cars have arrived, and I don't know whose license plates they are. But the one leading them is an elderly gentleman who looks very dignified. He said he's here to see Master Zhong."
The identity of the visitor is clear.
Old Master Zhong came to visit.
Wan Jiang walked out quickly, confirmed the other party's identity, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to see him?"
Zhong Yi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that his health has improved a lot and he can even go out."
