Chapter 659 I Believe He Is Still Alive
Zhong Yi heard this.
His complexion changed instantly.
Many people have asked him these questions, but he has never received an accurate answer.
Facing Huo Xingzhou's question, his tone became much colder and harder: "I am sure this matter has nothing to do with my mother. She is just a patient of Mr. Cheng. There is no point in asking these questions."
That seemed to be an untouchable string in his heart.
Once someone mentions it, he will immediately turn hostile.
Huo Xingzhou looked at his attitude and knew that he would not say anything.
"Okay, then we'll have to look for it. But no news is also good news."
Zhong Yi looked at him calmly and said, "The old man is very wise. If we can't find him, it means no one else can find him either. He's very capable! To be honest, I think it's a good thing that so many people haven't found him after sending so many people. Huo Xingzhou, I believe he's still alive."
His gaze was firm.
God should favor good people, and people who reach this age will become more insightful.
People like them who are full of calculations should go to hell.
Huo Xingzhou looked at his expression, wondering if he knew something, so he probed, "Perhaps someone is preventing us from finding him. The Lu family's fear of Qiao Xi is probably related to past events."
Zhong Yi was a little indifferent: "Maybe."
Huo Xingzhou looked at him inquiringly, then skipped the topic: "When will your engagement with the Lu family be cancelled?"
"Why should I break off the engagement?"
"You want to marry Lu Yingxue?"
"why not?"
Huo Xingzhou said firmly, "Zhong Yi, you won't do that. You must have other plans, but given your character, you wouldn't harm an unborn child. Is there something wrong with the child that Zhong Lingxiao had Lin Xifei conceive?"
"Thank you for your affirmation of my character. I thought you thought I was just a tactless vixen."
Zhong Yi adjusted the cuffs of his suit, his eyes deep, "But after I take over..."
There was a hint of threat in his tone.
Huo Xingzhou understood what he meant.
Once he comes to power, he will confess everything to Qiao Xi.
Huo Xingzhou felt a little jealous, but he maintained his composure: "Let's wait and see."
He knows best who Qiao Xi loves.
Zhong Yi walked a few steps and turned back to say, "I hope you can still hold on to attend the Guan family's wedding banquet, otherwise I can also reluctantly be Qiao Xi's male companion."
Huo Xingzhou threw the pillow at hand over with an expressionless face.
Zhong Yi smiled and left the ward.
Not long after he left, Qiao Xi returned to the ward.
Seeing the pillow that had fallen on the ground, he picked it up and said, "Are you guys having a conflict?"
"It's a commotion."
Huo Xingzhou extended his hand and beckoned, and Qiao Xi approached. She opened the thermos, scooped out the food, and placed it on the bedside table.
But Huo Xingzhou grabbed her wrist and exerted force, causing her to stagger and fall onto the bed.
Qiao Xi exclaimed and deliberately avoided his abdomen.
"What are you doing? Don't touch the wound."
She placed her hands on his chest to distance herself from him, looking into his eyes and said.
The hair fell on his cheeks.
Huo Xingzhou brushed her hair aside and said, "It feels like we haven't been this close in a long time. You're out and about every day now, busier than I am. Sometimes I don't even get to see you for dinner. When I come back to my room at night, you're already asleep again."
He put his arms around her waist and gently squeezed her lower back.
After hearing what he said, Qiao Xi slowly leaned her head against his shoulder and whispered, "It feels like it's been a long time. Is the Tianyuan Group branch business done?"
"Once it's done, I'll have plenty of time to spend with you. I can follow you wherever you go."
Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at her: "Do you want to be my follower?"
Huo Xingzhou raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a declaration of sovereignty, to prevent some ignorant people from getting close to it."
Especially since Zhong Yi is eyeing it covetously, he must have a way to get the inheritance rights, but he just doesn't want to let it out now.
Qiao Xi felt his warm breath, frowned slightly and said, "What I'm most worried about now is Grandpa Cheng."
Huo Xingzhou stroked her back and said, "Zhong Yi came over just now to talk about Grandpa Cheng. He looked very confident, so maybe he found out something. But since he didn't say anything, I can't get any information from him no matter how much I ask."
"real?"
Qiao Xi looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with worry.
Huo Xingzhou nodded: "Really, Zhong Yi's foundation in the imperial capital is deeper than ours, so he naturally has many ways."
If Qiao Xi didn't know Zhong Yi's background, she would think Huo Xingzhou was comforting her. But when she thought about Zhong Yi and that he was Ah Yi, who had lived in Yueliang Village for a long time, she knew that he had some feelings for Grandpa Cheng.
Maybe, Zhong Yi really has some new progress.
Qiao Xi sighed secretly in her heart and hugged Huo Xingzhou.
"It's great to have you here."
With a clang.
The ward door was pushed open.
Huo Sijiao stared at the intimate eyes with wide eyes, then quickly covered her eyes with her hands: "I didn't see anything, sister-in-law, you guys continue."
Qiao Xi quickly stood up and called her with a red face: "Jiaojiao, don't leave yet. We didn't do anything, you misunderstood."
Huo Sijiao moved her hand away and took a few peeks, then said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you do. You're already married. It would be nice if you could give me a nephew or niece soon..."
"Jiaojiao." Qiao Xi didn't know how to stop her from talking.
Her sharp tongue was already a powerful tool in Haicheng, and it became even more effective in the imperial capital. Now she was running a beauty salon on her own, dealing with countless difficult customers day and night.
"Sister-in-law, why are you still shy? You've been married for so long, my brother..."
"Huo Sijiao."
Huo Xingzhou shouted at her warningly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Huo Sijiao quickly said flatteringly, "Brother, don't blame me for my poor words. I'm hoping you'll have a baby soon, right? If my sister-in-law can't take care of the baby, I can help. It'll make the house more lively."
"Are you here to visit me, or to piss me off?"
Huo Xingzhou asked calmly.
Huo Sijiao licked her face and walked up to him: "I was worried about your injury at first, but when I saw you were still able to be intimate with your sister-in-law just now, I knew that your injury was not that serious, so I felt relieved."
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and warned, "Don't tell my parents about my injury."
"I know, I only report good news and not bad news!"
"Don't be so hasty in the future. Remember to knock on the door wherever you go."
"I understand." Huo Sijiao smiled broadly, "I'll remember to knock on the door next time."
Qiao Xi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Jiaojiao, why are you rushing here in such a hurry? Did something big happen at the beauty salon?"
When this matter was mentioned, Huo Sijiao became furious: "Sister-in-law, we caught a thief in our beauty salon today!"
