Chapter 701: Robbery of a Man

"Zhong Lingxiao has cooperated with the Pei family."

Huo Xingzhou's tone was cold.

He originally thought that Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao's fight for the position of heir was, if not an overwhelming victory, at least evenly matched.

But no one expected the Pei family to show up and completely disrupt the situation.

Xie Xubai curled his fingers, "Although I don't know why the Pei family, who have always been neutral, wants to intervene in this matter, but it is obviously not good news. The Pei family is the second largest family in the imperial capital and has roots overseas. Their power in the country should not be underestimated. They can attack or defend, which is very difficult."

What on earth did Zhong Lingxiao use to impress them?

Huo Xingzhou sneered: "The most difficult thing now is your marriage."

Everyone knows that Pei Chun likes Xie Xubai.

Xie Xubai has a cooperation with the Huo family, and the Huo family is in the same boat with Zhong Yi.

If he were a member of the Pei family or Zhong Lingxiao, he would think of ways to split these people up. It would be easier to deal with a group of scattered sand.

so.

Xie Xubai is in trouble.

"Pei Chun already likes you, and your old lady even said that if you can't find a girlfriend before the New Year, you will go to the Pei family to propose marriage. This is a good reason. The Pei family and Zhong Lingxiao will definitely put pressure on you. Regardless of whether I trust you or not, after you marry Pei Chun, I will not be able to have any close cooperation with you."

This is sowing discord.

He also helped the Xie family become relatives of the Pei family.

"I won't marry Pei Chun."

There was a hint of disgust in Xie Xu's eyes.

"I hope you can handle the pressure." Huo Xingzhou had no intention of solving the problem for him. "The news that Zhong Yi is not dead cannot be kept secret for long. This is just a temporary test to see how many small shrimps will jump out of the water and clean up the internal accomplices around him."

The two brothers of the Zhong family have been fighting for so long, they must have spies around each other.

This is the best opportunity to clean up the spies and traitors. I hope Zhong Yi can understand, and I also hope Wan Jiang can implement it well.

A faint sneer appeared on Huo Xingzhou's face.

After listening to what he said, Xie Xubai suddenly sensed a mixture of love and hate.

"Mr. Huo, what do you think of Mr. Zhong?"

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes and looked at him: "Mind yourself."

Xie Xubai smiled a little more, "Thank you for telling me tonight, I won't bother you anymore."

He stood up and said his goodbyes.

Then he left.

Huo Xingzhou took a deep breath.

What does he think of Zhong Yi?

Naturally, he wished he would die sooner, but unfortunately he couldn't die now. He was forced to stay in a trench and work together to deal with those difficult people.

A surge of anger rose from his heart.

Damn childhood sweetheart!

…

As Xie Xubai walked down the stairs, his eyes immediately fell on Huo Sijiao, who was discussing gossip with Sun Weimeng in the living room.

He stepped heavier and deliberately made some noise.

The two of them looked up at him at the same time, and even the expressions on their faces looked similar.

Sun Weimeng smiled and said hello: "Boss Xie, are you leaving? There's a midnight snack in the kitchen, would you like to stay and have some?"

"Okay."

Xie Xubai turned and sat directly on the single sofa next to Huo Sijiao.

Huo Sijiao glared at Sun Weimeng fiercely and said, "If you can't speak, then don't speak!"

Sun Weimeng blinked innocently. He didn't expect that just by saying a polite word, Xie Xubai would actually stay for a midnight snack.

You’re so welcome!

Sun Weimeng coughed twice and changed the subject, "You...what secrets were you and Huo Xingzhou discussing in the study? Can we know?"

Xie Xu was frank: "Let's talk about my marriage."

“Cough cough cough…”

Sun Weimeng was choked by the saliva. His face turned red and he asked, "Who are you going to talk about?"

It was rumored before that the Xie family and the Huo family were going to have a marriage alliance. Could they be talking about his marriage to Huo Sijiao?

"Pei Chun and I."

Xie Xubai held a small ceramic teacup in his hand, poured a cup of hot tea and sipped it carefully. The Huo family brewed the Mingqian Longjing tea tonight, which had a refreshing fragrance and was very suitable for digestion.

Huo Sijiao's eyes almost popped out of her head.

He and Pei Chun?

Is he going to marry Pei Chun?

Doesn't he want to marry Pei Chun?

Huo Sijiao thought about it and actually asked the question out loud.

Xie Xubai drank his tea elegantly and did not hide it from them.

"Tonight, the eldest son of the Zhong family and the Pei family teamed up to frame Zhong Yi. I'm sure you've also seen the gossip."

"Yes, everyone says Zhong Yi is dead! My friends are all wailing, and there are also a bunch of rich and famous ladies expressing their regret, saying that he died young! Is this... true?" Sun Weimeng and Zhong Yi had met several times, and he always felt that she was gorgeous and cunning.

It doesn't look like the face of someone who died early!

Xie Xubai thought that Huo Xingzhou would not hide this from them, so he said, "He is not dead, but seriously injured. It's just that the news cannot be spread now. After a day or two, they will know the truth."

Huo Sijiao pursed her red lips and asked hesitantly, "What does this have to do with you marrying Pei Chun?"

"Even I can see it!"

Sun Wei looked at her with great pride, "The Pei family and the eldest son of the Zhong family have joined forces, so naturally they want to win over the Xie family. The best way is marriage, otherwise they will target the Xie family! They will pick on the weak ones!"

It is easy to tell which of the two persimmons, the Huo family and the Xie family, is the softer one.

The Xie family was the first to bear the brunt of the disaster.

"Huo Sijiao, this is differentiation! Defeat them one by one!"

Xie Xubai's fingertips gently stroked the warm ceramic teacup, with a smile on his face: "Young Master Sun is right, that's indeed the truth. Plus, my grandmother has said before that if I can't find a partner before the end of the year, I will really be forced to join the Pei family."

"Isn't this raping a man?"

Huo Sijiao said angrily, "The Pei family is too unreasonable!"

Pei Chun must be so proud this time!

In the past, she was the only one who acted recklessly, and the Pei family didn't care. Now, the Pei family is helping her snatch her husband, so Xie Xubai can only clean up and get married.

Huo Sijiao turned to look at him: "Is there no other way?"

Xie Xubai said helplessly: "If the Huo family can lend a hand, maybe we can fight against the Zhong family and the Pei family together. If not, then I can only compromise. It's a pity that Mr. Huo and I don't have any special friendship, and he can't risk his life and property."

Sun Weimeng rolled his eyes and said, "There is another way!"

"Hurry up and tell me!" Huo Sijiao urged.

"Mr. Xie, find a woman to marry now."

Xie Xubai glanced at him and said, "Pei Chun is a stickler, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."

Sun Weimeng tried his best to come up with a bad idea: "Then find a powerful woman who can make the other party quiet down. Guan Jingtan is married now, and there are not many young women of the Pei family who are of the right age in the capital."

He looked at Huo Sijiao, "Only you can save Xie Xubai."

Huo Sijiao blushed and couldn't help jumping up and down: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
