Chapter 436 Huo Xingzhou is jealous
Zhou Yu noticed something was wrong, looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Xi forced a faint smile: "Nothing, I'm just a little surprised why you are here."
"Oh, don't mention it. Huo Er and I dealt with a very difficult businessman from the imperial capital tonight, and we had a couple of extra drinks."
No wonder they all smell of alcohol.
Qiao Xi walked forward, took Huo Xingzhou's coat, shook it, hung it aside, and made them some honey and grapefruit water.
"Drink something to sober up first. I'll go to the kitchen to see how Aunt Qian is preparing."
Qiao Xi dodged Zhou Yu and picked up the phone.
Zhou Yu took a sip of the sweet and sour honey grapefruit juice and said to Huo Xingzhou, who was sitting next to him, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the way my sister-in-law looks at me? It's like she's full of pity and sympathy? Am I seeing things?"
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, idiot.
My wife is about to run away, but I’m still here like a fool, clamoring for beef bone noodle soup and wanting to add two beef balls!
Qiao Xi was in the hospital, so Huo Xingzhou naturally paid attention to all relevant information within the hospital. When the preliminary list came out, he knew about it!
"You're not mistaken."
Huo Xingzhou held the glass and drank slowly.
Zhou Yu moved closer and said, "You two are so mysterious. What happened? Tell me."
"You really want to know?"
Huo Xingzhou looked up at him. This was probably Zhou Yu's last chance. He really should give them a heads up after being brothers for so many years.
On this matter, he and Qiao Xi have different positions, but there is no right or wrong.
"Just tell me now! Stop playing dumb, I'm really going to be driven crazy by you!"
Generally speaking, anything that could make Huo Xingzhou show this kind of expression was not a good thing, and it was obviously related to him.
Huo Xingzhou took out his mobile phone and handed it to him. The page showed the hospital's internal shortlist of medical personnel for Africa. Normally, outsiders would not be able to access it.
But this is very simple for Huo Xingzhou.
Zhou Yu glanced at it and casually complained: "Why are you showing me this?"
When he scrolled down again, he saw Shu Xue was also on the list and enlarged the page.
You read that right!
Shu Xue was indeed on the preliminary list of the medical aid team to Africa. She signed up secretly without telling him a word.
"She's going to Africa? At least half a year?" Zhou Yu looked at Huo Xingzhou in disbelief. "I'm the last one to know about this?"
He suddenly understood why Qiao Xi looked at him so strangely just now. How could he not sympathize with her?
Anger surged in Zhou Yu's heart, but it was like a balloon punctured by a needle, deflated instantly.
He said dejectedly, "Shu Xue broke up with me two days ago. I thought I was the one in control of our relationship."
Huo Xingzhou looked at him without much sympathy, instead making sarcastic remarks: "This isn't your first heartbreak. You've dated so many girlfriends, at least eight if not ten times, so why aren't you used to it?"
"Huo Xingzhou! Do you have any humanity at all?" Zhou Yu suddenly looked up and glared at him, "You are so heartless."
"If I really had no conscience, I wouldn't have told you this news. Treat people and things according to their symptoms."
Huo Xingzhou stopped there.
Those who are interested will naturally understand what he means, and no matter how much those who are not interested say, it will be a waste of words.
It depends on how much Zhou Yu really loves Shu Xue.
Zhou Yu seemed to be lost in thought.
He stood up and said, "Old Chen, please take me home."
Old Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have something to do tonight. How about finding you a designated driver?"
"No, I'll find it myself!"
Zhou Yu took his things and left quickly.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his eyes, stroking the cold glass with his fingers and said, "Old Chen, go to the study and wait for me first."
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen went upstairs.
When Qiao Xi and Aunt Qian came out of the kitchen, they were puzzled for a moment when they saw that Huo Xingzhou was the only one in the living room.
"Where's Mr. Zhou?"
"Home."
"Ah? Doesn't he love Aunt Qian's beef noodles the most? She even adds beef balls for him."
Qiao Xi felt a little regretful. Huo Xingzhou stood up, walked up to her and said, "You and Aunt Qian can eat slowly. I have something to take care of."
"All right."
He is very busy.
After finishing the designer salon, he has been busy with work. Qiao Xi woke up in the middle of the night last night and found that he was not in the room.
The Future City project has clearly been handed over to Zhou Yu, and I don’t know what else he is busy with.
"Young Madam, let's eat. Don't starve yourself." Aunt Qian pulled her towards the small restaurant.
This beef bone soup has been simmered for five or six hours, don't waste it.
The screen of her phone, which she had placed aside, lit up.
It was an unread message from Cheng Han.
…
In the study.
Huo Xingzhou sat at his desk, flipping through thick documents. If Qiao Xi were there, she would have noticed that all the companies listed in these documents were registered under the title of Imperial Capital.
He is planning ahead.
These things are confidential documents, and Lao Chen didn't dare to even look at them.
Finally, he closed the file and looked up at Lao Chen: "Tell me what you found out."
Old Chen glanced at him stealthily and said seriously, "I've already found the doctor who treated Yi at the county hospital. I've secretly arranged for him to return to China and move him to the house under your name. He seems to have some substantial evidence in his possession."
"Well, I'll go ask him in person in a couple of days."
Huo Xingzhou had long been certain that Zhong Yi was Ayi, but since the person had been found, it was more important to obtain evidence.
Just in case of emergency.
Or maybe it would be safer to threaten Zhong Yi with that evidence when we get to the capital. Otherwise, given Zhong Yi's personality, he would never let himself suffer any loss.
"Master, I also found out something unexpectedly."
Old Chen was a little hesitant and his expression looked a little unnatural.
Huo Xingzhou looked up at him and said, "You're not like that. Just say what you want to say."
"Last time, you and the young lady went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. Later, the young lady went to withdraw the divorce application, but was unsuccessful. The staff said there was a problem with the system that day, but it wasn't..."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened: "Did Zhong Yi do this?"
He had never noticed such trivial matters.
"Yes, hacker Fei Luan is Mr. Zhong's man." Old Chen was really surprised. The young people nowadays are all amazing.
He is elusive, cunning and intelligent!
It turns out that Young Master Zhong had been slowly infiltrating Haicheng a long time ago.
It is rumored that Fei Luan only cares about money and not people, and there will come a day when he will have to obey orders from others.
"Very good."
Huo Xingzhou's tone was calm, but Old Chen knew that he was jealous.
Young Master Zhong's evil ambitions are clear as day! He's after the Young Madam and is secretly trying to poach her!
If the divorce application had not been withdrawn, the young master and the young mistress would have filed for divorce again in the short term, and the divorce would have been successful!
What a "vicious" rival in love!
Old Chen was still complaining in his mind when he was startled by the sound of the door banging!
He didn't expect that everyone in the family would knock on the door before entering.
Just look past it.
Qiao Xi was standing at the door of the study, holding her cell phone tightly and panting, looking panicked and pale.
