Chapter 372: Beautiful Lady, Longing for Her

Zhong Yi pretended to be surprised and said with a smile: "Boss Huo, you know everything about Haicheng. But when I transferred the money, I specifically asked Wan Jiang to keep it confidential. Could it be that you checked it carefully? Boss Huo, are you staring at me like this because you are afraid that I will do something bad?"

"The account belongs to the Imperial Capital. I just guessed it was you."

Huo Xingzhou just asked casually, hoping to scare the enemy.

Lest someone think that they are loosening the soil at the base of the wall and digging at his corner without anyone knowing. Zhong Yi and the Zhong family are very careful in everything they do, and it is simply impossible to find out more information about Zhong Yi.

"It turns out that Mr. Huo lied to me."

Zhong Yi smiled tenderly, his eyes were clear and rippled, and his voice was as clear as a mountain spring. "I didn't expect that a capital account would make you think of me. It seems that I have a very high status in Mr. Huo's heart."

He avoided the main point and did not answer the question directly.

Qiao Xi was upset and asked, "Master Zhong, why did you give money to Shen Xuanzhi?"

She knew that Huo Xingzhou used the rules to protect her. If she attacked Mingzhu's people, Shen Xuanzhi would help her.

But why do you like it?

He had no reason to do such a thing.

Zhong Yi glanced at her and said, "Why does even Madam Huo care about me so much? I gave money to Shen Xuanzhi only to help him. The Shen family was kind to my mother in the past, and I have also seen the Shen family's bird-pecking technique. I really don't want to let it decline..."

"I just gave some money to my benefactor's child, why are you two reacting so strongly?"

His expression was relaxed, and he seemed to blame them for making a fuss.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. The Shen family's bird pecking technique had indeed saved many people, but it was unfortunately suppressed by the Lu family and gradually exhausted them. It was not until today that Shen Xuanzhi appeared.

That is the Shen family’s last hope.

"But the Zhong family and the Lu family are on good terms, and the Lu family doesn't want the Shen family to prosper. Why did Young Master Zhong..." Qiao Xi just wanted an answer.

"Mrs. Huo."

Zhong Yi's tone became more serious. "It is human nature to repay a favor. Why do you make it sound like an unforgivable crime? The Zhong family never sides with any faction. Please don't be prejudiced against us."

He spoke so righteously that Qiao Xi could not utter a word to refute him.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

She was indeed a little impatient.

Huo Xingzhou put his hand on her shoulder, rubbed her round shoulders gently and said soothingly: "You have been busy all day, go eat something first?"

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid if you encounter any accidents today. It's not dangerous."

"Um."

She nodded obediently, not knowing why he said that, but she just believed him. Maybe he had other plans for this birthday party.

Qiao Xi picked up her skirt and found Huo Sijiao in the crowd, then walked over.

Two men were left behind.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

Wan Jiang slowly took a half step back, fearing that he would be affected by them. Why does it feel like a fight is about to break out?

Zhong Yi adjusted his cufflinks boredly and said nonchalantly, "Boss Huo, are you deliberately sending the young lady away? Will she misunderstand our relationship?"

"What's the relationship?" Huo Xingzhou asked calmly.

"A cooperative relationship." Zhong Yi smiled, "Or, to go a step further, an antagonistic relationship?"

Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Master Zhong seems to be treating my wife a little differently. She has always been well-behaved and kind, and it doesn't seem like she would know a big shot like Master Zhong. When did you two meet?"

"Future City, maybe the Baroque Restaurant, and your Tianyuan Group. I have met Mrs. Huo many times."

Master Zhong took a sip of champagne and said rather shamelessly, "A beauty like a flower, my heart longs for her. What's so hard to understand?"

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were dark, and the coldness around him was even more intense, and his aura was oppressive.

Wan Jiang, who was standing behind Zhong Yi, was secretly afraid. How could Master Zhong dare to say anything? He even flirted with someone else's wife in front of her!

This is Haicheng, Huo Xingzhou’s territory!

We are still on someone else's cruise ship.

Aren't you afraid of having your legs broken and thrown into the sea to feed the fish?

"Mr. Zhong..." Wan Jiang tugged at the corner of Zhong Yi's suit and reminded him. How about bringing enough bodyguards next time and provoke him again?

This time I brought him alone, and he couldn't resist being beaten!

Zhong Yi met Huo Xingzhou's gaze, drank the champagne in one gulp and said, "Mr. Huo, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. We are partners. She is your wife, so of course I look up to her. Besides, she is the apprentice of the national doctor Cheng Han, so I would also like to meet her."

His jade-like and painted face showed a hint of smile, but his eyes were still calm.

It makes it impossible to tell which of his words are true and which are false.

"Hahaha." Wan Jianggan laughed to ease the atmosphere. "Boss Huo, our Master Zhong always likes to joke around. Please don't take his jokes seriously, or you'll ruin the atmosphere."

Huo Xingzhou's voice turned cold: "So, regarding the Future City project, Master Zhong is also joking with us? We at Tianyuan Group don't want to cooperate with someone who always makes jokes."

Zhong Yi looked at Huo Xingzhou and grinded his back teeth while smiling.

Really resourceful.

This forced him to make a decision immediately.

Huo Xingzhou refused to take any loss.

"Mr. Huo, you are joking. I will go to Tianyuan Group tomorrow to look at your project plan."

"No need, I'll have my assistant send it to you now. Mr. Zhong has one night to think carefully about whether to invest in Future City. I'll be waiting for your reply at Tianyuan Group at ten o'clock tomorrow."

Zhong Yi nodded: "Okay."

If he didn't agree, Huo Xingzhou might drive him out of Haicheng tomorrow for various reasons.

Huo Xingzhou was quite "merciful" and gave him one night to think about it.

Should I pack up and leave, or invest in that future city project with an unknown future?

In the restroom at the exit of the banquet hall corridor.

Xiang Mingzhu angrily pushed open the bright and clean bathroom door, threw her branded bag on the sink, took out a lipstick and unscrewed it impatiently.

She looked in the mirror, frowning and putting on makeup.

Damn Qiao Xi!

She was dressed so grandly that she attracted almost everyone's attention the moment she appeared. Xiang Mingzhu noticed that Zhong Shao was distracted for a second, even if it was only for that one second.

If her mind had not always been on Zhong Yi, she probably would not have noticed it.

How could a country girl stand on the same level as them! If Cheng Han hadn't given her a skill, she would have been abandoned by Huo Xingzhou long ago even if she had been married to the Huo family!

Xiang Mingzhu touched up her makeup and threw her lipstick and powder in.

The movement was particularly large, like a breath of air being released.

There was a sound of running water in the bathroom cubicle, and the cubicle door opened. Mingzhu looked over and saw the woman walking out with her head down, holding up the hem of her dress and twisting her hips. She was wearing a classic Chanel style.

She sarcastically said that in such occasions, only people who can't afford new styles would wear classic styles to save face.

laugh.

Xiang Mingzhu took a closer look and found that it was an acquaintance.

The sneer on her face disappeared instantly and she shouted in pretended surprise.
