Chapter 611 Don’t Be Love-Brained
"Thank you, Mr.
Ning Yuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the grape juice stains on his shirt and the inexplicable smile on his face and couldn't help asking.
"What happened to you guys back there? Why are you in such a mess?"
Ning Yuan's eyes were full of teasing, "Is the progress so fast?"
"Drive home." Xie Xubai's eyes were as calm as water. "Cancel all my outings tomorrow and move all meetings to daytime."
"You're not going out for social events? What's going on?"
Ning Yuan didn't understand what he was up to, but he thought it must be related to Huo Sijiao.
He muttered, "I've always told you it's terrible when an old house catches fire. You'll have no principles at all when that happens."
He stepped on the accelerator and left the Huo family garden villa.
…
In the living room.
Sun Weimeng looked at Huo Sijiao in surprise.
"Your face is redder than a monkey's butt. What on earth did you do with Xie Xubai? Why don't you give up that scumbag Shen Xuanzhi and be with Xie Xubai. I think you two look really good together, like a couple."
Huo Sijiao's eyes flickered, and she clapped her hands on her cheeks and said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm just hot because the heater is on in the car. If you have time to worry about me, go check out the design of the beauty salon. We need to open it as soon as possible while the heat is still high."
"OK."
Sun Wei nodded, "As long as you're not in love."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going back to my room to remove my makeup."
Huo Sijiao quickly left the living room, leaving Sun Weimeng there to ponder.
Master bedroom on the second floor.
The room was dim and no lights were on.
The air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of alcohol. Huo Xingzhou was sitting on the edge of the bed, his long shadow cast in the moonlight.
On the big bed, Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly and took a long breath.
She fell asleep in the car, and Huo Xingzhou carried her back to the room.
She frowned and seemed to be sleeping uneasy, her lips moving.
He seemed to be saying something, but I couldn't hear it clearly.
Knock knock.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Huo Xingzhou sat for a while and then stood up and left the room, missing the name she called.
He opened the door. The light in the corridor was dim and Old Chen stood respectfully by.
"Master, I have completed the task you assigned to me."
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and responded, "Keep an eye on Lu Yingxue and see how badly she's injured. Also, send someone to track down Mr. Cheng and report any traces to me."
Cheng Han has been missing for so long. Is it really possible that there is no trace of a living person at all?
This matter is weird from beginning to end.
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen also felt strange. Could it be that this old Mr. Cheng could go to heaven and earth?
His good brothers couldn't find anything at all.
Old Chen said curiously, "With all the chaos tonight, I wonder what Young Master Zhong will do. The old man of the Zhong family will definitely be furious and might even cancel his candidacy. Then the Zhong family will fall into the hands of Zhong Lingxiao."
"he?"
Huo Xingzhou smiled slightly, "I don't believe he acts on impulse. He must have other plans."
…
The old house of the Zhong family.
The lights are on.
The servants serving tea and water inside didn't even dare to breathe, and their footsteps were very light as they walked back and forth.
Old Master Zhong sat at the head of the table, his face expressionless as he stared at the main entrance. Standing beside him were Zhong Lingxiao and his son, Zhong Hongfei. They exchanged glances, both with a hint of calculation and complacency.
The old man had originally placed high hopes on Zhong Yi, and he would definitely be disappointed after what happened tonight.
"Hongfei."
The old man's vicissitudes and deep voice sounded.
Zhong Hongfei quickly walked up to him and asked, "What do you want?"
"Go back to your villa and don't stand here and dazzle me." Old Master Zhong deliberately drove him out. Among so many people in the Zhong family, he had no expectations for Zhong Hongfei.
This is just a shiny straw bag.
The smile on Zhong Hongfei's face froze and he said, "Grandpa, I'm not here..."
"Butler, please show the guest away." Old Master Zhong said without mercy.
"I'll just leave."
Zhong Hongfei said angrily, "I'll come to see you next time."
Old Master Zhong's eyes were calm, his back straight. He sat there like the most stern Buddha, and even Zhong Lingxiao didn't dare to breathe heavily.
When he returned home, he used artistic language to embellish Zhong Yi's behavior at the engagement party. While saying "don't blame your brother", he provoked the old man's anger.
It tastes quite like green tea.
Old Master Zhong leaned on his cane, which made a light sound when it hit the ground.
"Go see if Zhong Yi is back."
"Yes, old man."
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a car engine was heard outside.
The servant leaned out to look for a while, then hurried to the old man's side and said, "It's the young master's car."
Old Master Zhong sneered.
Zhong Lingxiao also restrained the upward curl of his lips. The old man's usual swearing showed that the matter was not serious enough. It was rare to see him so calm and majestic tonight. He must be really angry.
Zhong Yi is finished.
The main entrance.
Zhong Yi walked quickly to the old man.
He didn't hesitate at all and knelt down in front of the old man in front of everyone. Zhong Lingxiao's eyes flashed with astonishment. He didn't expect Zhong Yi to be so willing to lose face.
A man's knees are made of gold, doesn't he care at all?
"Old Master."
Zhong Yi knelt on both knees with his back straight.
His jade-like face was cold and his eyes were clear without any evasion.
Old Master Zhong sneered, "You kneeled down quickly. Does it seem like you know where you went wrong?"
Zhong Yi spoke clearly and calmly, "I shouldn't have been so careless as to allow myself to be schemed by the evildoers. I caused such a big incident at the engagement party, which brought shame to the Lu and Zhong families and ruined Miss Ye's reputation. I also made my eldest brother worry about me, afraid that something bad would happen to me and he had to find me."
"You mean it's still Ling Xiao's fault?"
Old Master Zhong asked calmly, with no anger on his face.
Zhong Lingxiao quickly explained, "I saw your assistant and Miss Lu were looking for you. They were worried something might happen to you, so they mobilized people to look for you. If I knew you and Ye Ying... I would never barge in. Ruining your reputation would not benefit the entire Zhong family."
But it will be beneficial for him to seize the position of heir.
Zhong Yi looked up at Zhong Lingxiao and said, "Thank you for your consideration, big brother. I did an expedited drug test before I went home, and the report has been sent to Grandpa. I wonder if big brother has found any clues to the culprit after all this night?"
Zhong Lingxiao hesitated to speak, but saw the old man waving at him.
The Zhong family's housekeeper brought someone in, and his expression was suddenly stunned.
