Chapter 902: The Dilemma
As the brothers were arguing, the butler happened to be pushing the old man's wheelchair out of the ward. Those who were whispering to each other shifted their attention and gathered around the old man to ask about his well-being.
But when the old man was in a coma and his life or death was unknown, he did not show up once.
Each one is more realistic than the other.
"Old Master, how is your health?"
"Congratulations on your discharge."
"Old Master is already old, so he should take good care of his health. Let's leave the family business to the young people to develop. I think Ling Xiao is doing an excellent job."
"Yes, Ling Xiao did a great job during your hospitalization. We uncles all saw it, after all, he is of orthodox blood. Although he was a little inappropriate in the past and was deceived by others, it is good for a young man to admit his mistakes and correct them."
They all came to speak well of Zhong Lingxiao.
I don’t know how many benefits Zhong Lingxiao promised to make these people shamelessly support a junior.
In their opinion, Zhong Lingxiao is a very good choice.
The old man of the Zhong family didn't say anything. His eyes fell on Zhong Lingxiao. Thinking of his bold words in the ward a few days ago, it was indeed a bit ironic.
"You all think Ling Xiao is good?"
"yes."
"This child is filial and capable, and he keeps the house in good order."
"I think he's a good choice. Let's not have any more twists and turns regarding the heir. Our Zhong family can't stand it any more. Last time at the ancestral hall, the old man chose Ling Xiao, so let's just say he's the one. He's pretty good at his job anyway."
Old Master Zhong didn't express his opinion. Instead, he looked at the complacent Zhong Lingxiao and asked, "Do you think you are suitable?"
Zhong Lingxiao took over the steward's duties, walked around behind him, pushed the wheelchair, and said, "Old Master, I will do my best not to disappoint you. Just rest assured and take care of your health. The Zhong family will not fall apart with me. We will stabilize and develop even better in the future."
He speaks very beautifully.
But the old man knew his evil ambitions.
Zhong Lingxiao wanted to kill himself.
He wanted to secure his position in the Zhong family without any accidents. The easiest way to do that was to eliminate all potential threats.
The old man of the Zhong family pressed the button of the wheelchair and stopped.
He said, "Qiao girl, please push me. I feel uneasy if someone else pushes me."
His eyes fell on Qiao Xi behind the crowd.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said okay.
She knew that the old man was dissatisfied with Zhong Lingxiao, and others also understood what he meant.
Qiao Xi walked over to the old man's side, but Zhong Lingxiao stood still and refused to give up his seat. His dark and cold gaze fell on Qiao Xi, as if he wanted to scrape off a layer of her skin.
It looks really scary.
Qiao Xi was not afraid of him at all.
Instead, she met his gaze head-on.
"Mr. Zhong, please move aside. You're blocking the way." They had already fallen out, so there was no need to maintain a semblance of peace. If someone gave her a cold shoulder, was she really going to try and get close to them?
Zhong Lingxiao snorted coldly and wanted to speak.
Sun Weimeng rushed over and said without any apology on his face, "Oh, sorry, I bumped into you. I didn't see there was someone here. Young Master Zhong, you are really in the way."
Zhong Lingxiao rubbed his aching shoulder and gritted his teeth before saying, "Young Master Sun is really good at talking. I wonder what sweet talk he used to get out of the police station the other day."
"That's better than some people being unable to get out. I heard that it was Young Master Zhong who rescued Pei Gan. I don't know what his intention was. Could it be that you are not doing this for Pei Gan, but for that enchantress Zhao Zhenmei? They said that the Pei family wanted to send a woman to the young master, but I didn't expect you to be so serious about it."
"Sun Weimeng, stop spitting bloody words at me!"
Zhong Lingxiao felt sick when he heard the name Zhao Zhenmei. When he thought about how this woman almost got into his bed, he felt a little resentful towards Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng is really uncouth.
A woman slept alone, hooked up with her own brother, and almost ended up in bed with her partner.
It's really disgusting.
Sun Weimeng smiled scoundrelly, raised his butt and pushed Zhong Lingxiao out again, "Then consider it as what I said wrong."
He turned around and looked at the old man of the Zhong family obediently and said, "Old man, Qiao Xi is pregnant and has no strength. Can we push you together?"
"Okay, they're all good kids."
Old Master Zhong was also more talkative than before, and seemed amiable. Except when facing Zhong Lingxiao...
This preference is so obvious!
Zhong Lingxiao also knew that the old man was dissatisfied with him.
He had just given the old man a chance, persuading him in front of so many people to spend his old age in peace.
But the old man just wouldn't give in!
Then don't blame him for being cruel.
Everything is ready and everything will be rewritten after today.
These thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh will be removed!
Zhong Lingxiao's gloomy eyes swept across Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He can be said to have fulfilled Zhong Yi's wish.
We cannot sleep in the same bed together.
We can die together.
Who made him love that bitch Qiao Xi so much?
Zhong Lingxiao watched Qiao Xi and others enter the elevator. He was the last one to arrive, waiting for the next elevator.
He is surrounded by good subordinates he has trained over the years, and they are very loyal.
He didn't even avoid them when he called.
"I've already left the hospital and will be at the agreed location in half an hour. My old man is very capable, so I suggest you make more arrangements."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
This time there was plenty of time, and Zhong Lingxiao took every aspect into consideration.
He didn't believe it and would let them escape!
Seven points depend on the deployment, and the remaining three points depend on whether God will be on his side.
"Young Master, the old master, Young Master Zhong Yi, and Miss Qiao are sitting in a car."
"good."
A cunning smile appeared at the corner of Zhong Lingxiao's lips.
God help him!
This time, who can escape?
All defeats will be reversed!
…
At the hospital entrance.
Qiao Xi and Zhong Yi sat together, and there was plenty of space in the back row.
The old man likes to sit in the front passenger seat for a good view. The driver is the Zhong family's old housekeeper, who has been driving for thirty or forty years and is a veteran driver.
The old man saw the two young people in the rearview mirror and felt a little regretful.
They are indeed a good match.
It's just not fate.
If he had brought this girl back to the Zhong family, things might have been different. He knew that Zhong Yi had been blaming him for this matter.
"Ayi, have you finished what I asked you to do?" He was referring to the Zhong family's spare seal.
Once the backup seal is activated, the previous set will automatically become invalid.
"I got it, but I haven't used it yet."
Zhong Yi’s success today is not entirely due to the Zhong family; he has his own power.
Old Master Zhong looked at the convoy following behind and said in a cold voice, "Zhong Lingxiao is ruthless and merciless. You should be careful when dealing with him."
"Old Master, do you know the true face of Big Brother now? You used to be very optimistic about him."
Zhong Yi still spoke with sarcasm. The old man snorted coldly and was about to speak.
A sudden brake!
With a "whoosh", the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground.
