Chapter 611 Don’t Be a Love Brain
"Mr. Xie."
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 but ask.
"What happened to you guys back there? Why are you in such a mess?"
Ning Yuan's eyes were full of teasing, "Progress can't be that fast, right?"
"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 after thinking about it, he felt that it must be related to Huo Sijiao.
He muttered, "I told you long ago that it would be terrible if the old house caught fire. You will have no principles at all."
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 ass. What on earth did you do with Xie Xubai? Why don't you give up on 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, she clapped her hands on her cheeks and said fiercely: "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 and see the design of the beauty salon. We have to open as soon as possible while the heat is on."
"OK."
Sun Wei nodded, "As long as you are not a love-brained person."
"I'm too lazy to tell you. I'm going back to my room to take off my makeup."
Huo Sijiao quickly left the living room, leaving Sun Weimeng alone to ponder.
The master bedroom is on the second floor.
The room was dark and the lights were off.
There seemed to be a faint smell of alcohol in the air. Huo Xingzhou was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a long reflection 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 were trembling.
It seemed like he was saying something, but I couldn't hear it clearly.
Knock knock.
There was a gentle 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 lights in the corridor were dim and Old Chen stood respectfully by the side.
"Master, I have completed the task you asked me to do."
Huo Xingzhou half-closed his eyes and responded, "Go and keep an eye on Lu Yingxue to see how badly she's injured. Also, send someone to continue tracking Mr. Cheng's movements, and report any traces to me."
Cheng Han has been missing for too long. Is it really possible that there is no trace of a living person at all?
This matter is weird from beginning to end.
"Okay, Master."
Old Chen also found it strange. Could it be that this 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 lady of the Zhong family will definitely be furious and might even cancel his status as a candidate. Then the Zhong family will fall into the hands of Zhong Lingxiao."
"he?"
Huo Xingzhou smiled slightly, "I don't believe he does things on impulse. He must have other plans."
…
The old house of the Zhong family.
The lights are bright.
The servants who served tea and water inside dared not even breathe, and walked back and forth with very light steps.
Old Mrs. Zhong sat at the top, looking at the main entrance expressionlessly. Zhong Lingxiao and his son Zhong Hongfei stood beside him, and they looked at each other, with some calculation and complacency in their eyes.
The old lady originally had high hopes for Zhong Yi, but she will definitely be disappointed after what happened tonight.
"Hongfei."
The old lady's deep and sad voice rang out.
Zhong Hongfei quickly walked up to him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Go back to your villa and don't stand here and dazzle my eyes." Old Mrs. Zhong deliberately drove him out. Among so many people in the Zhong family, she had no expectations for Zhong Hongfei at all.
This is just a smooth-looking straw bag.
The smile on Zhong Hongfei's face froze and he said, "Old lady, I'm not here..."
"Butler, please show the guests out." Old Mrs. Zhong said without mercy.
"I'll just go."
Zhong Hongfei said jokingly, "I'll come to see you next time."
Old Mrs. Zhong's eyes were calm and her back was straight. She sat there like a most solemn Buddha. 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. He said, "Don't blame your brother," but at the same time he provoked the old lady's anger.
It tastes like green tea.
Old Mrs. Zhong leaned on her cane, which made a slight sound when it hit the ground.
"Go see if Zhong Yi is back."
"Yes, old lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
The servant leaned out to look for a while, then hurried over to the old lady and said, "It's the young master's car."
Old Mrs. Zhong sneered.
Zhong Lingxiao also tried to control the smile on his face. Usually the old lady's swearing meant that the matter was not serious enough. It was rare to see her so calm and dignified tonight. She must be really angry.
Zhong Yi is finished.
Main entrance.
Zhong Yi walked quickly to the old lady.
He did not hesitate at all and knelt down in front of the old lady in front of everyone. Zhong Lingxiao's eyes flashed with astonishment, he did not expect Zhong Yi to be so willing to lose face.
A man has gold under his knees, doesn't he care at all?
"Old lady."
Zhong Yi knelt on the ground with her back straight.
His jade-like face was indifferent, and his eyes were clear and without any evasion.
Old Mrs. Zhong sneered, "You kneeled down quickly. It seems that you know where you went wrong?"
Zhong Yi spoke clearly and calmly, "I shouldn't have been careless and let the bad guys plot against me. I caused such a big incident at the engagement party, which caused the Lu and Zhong families to be criticized and also ruined Miss Ye's reputation. I also made my eldest brother worry about me, and he was afraid that I would meet with an accident and had to find me."
"Do you mean it's still Ling Xiao's fault?"
Old Mrs. Zhong asked calmly, with no anger on her face.
Zhong Lingxiao quickly explained: "I saw your assistant and Miss Lu were looking for you. They were afraid that something might happen to you, so they mobilized people to look for you. If I knew about you and Ye Ying... I would never barge in. Ruining your reputation would not be good for the entire Zhong family."
But it will be good for him to seize the position of heir.
Zhong Yi raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Lingxiao: "Thank you for your consideration. I did an expedited drug test before I went home, and the report has been sent to the old lady. I wonder if you have found the culprit in such a night?"
Zhong Lingxiao hesitated before speaking, but saw the old lady waving at him.
The Zhong family's housekeeper brought someone in, and his expression suddenly froze.
