Chapter 783 Is She That Awesome?

Huo Xingzhou would naturally not do such a thing as shooting himself in the foot.

If he drove Zhong Yi away today, Qiao Xi would be in trouble.

Even though they are husband and wife, they still need to be sensible.

He could not kill her love for him.

Zhong Yi said softly, "I will also keep watch here tonight."

"what ever."

Huo Xingzhou spoke calmly, but the disdain in his eyes was undisguised.

"I heard that there was some chaos at the Xie family's engagement party last night, and your sister was also affected. Was the matter with Pei Chun arranged by you or by Xie Xubai?" Zhong Yi was not present last night, so he knew limited information.

He came here just to use the process of elimination to define a range.

Huo Xingzhou knew what he was talking about, and said while drinking his tea, "I didn't interfere."

Zhong Yi said: "Xie Xubai is not so cruel, he is a gentleman."

Huo Xingzhou took two sips of tea and said, "He was the one who gave the drug, and the others might have been someone who didn't like Pei Chun. I only look at the result, there's no point in pursuing this matter."

It's nothing to worry about, it won't disrupt his plans.

"The live broadcast was not done by Xie Xubai." Zhong Yi had asked Wan Jiang to eliminate those rich second-generations last night, and also sent people to the scene to check.

It would be interesting if it wasn't Xie Xubai or those people.

He thought of the list that Wan Jiang had brought out. There were more than a dozen people selected from the list for accommodation at Feng Moli Hotel, but only one of them showed up at the Xie family's engagement party yesterday.

Feng Nanxi.

How can an eighteen-year-old girl be so capable?

Zhong Yi instinctively rejected her own idea, but still had a tentative thought.

He caught a glimpse of Huo Xingzhou standing up, so he asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm at home. Do I need to tell you where I'm going? If you really want to know, I'll go to the kitchen to help Qiao Xi. You can do whatever you want..."

Huo Xingzhou left him and went away.

Zhong Yi placed the teacup on the tea table and said calmly, "Wan Jiang, is Pei Qian going to have a blind date with Feng Nanxi?"

"There is a rumor that the Pei family is going to marry the Feng family. The eldest son of the Feng family is just a fool, and the young lady of the Feng family is younger and easier to control. Although the Feng family has fallen to a second- or third-rate family, the Pei family firmly believes that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

Therefore, it is worthwhile to exchange a good-for-nothing playboy for the opportunity to control the Feng family's wealth.

"When is the blind date?"

"It seems to be tomorrow at noon. The two youngsters are arranged to have a meal. This meal is in front of the elders, so it will probably be difficult to refuse."

"Okay, go find out the address and tell me."

"yes."

Wan Jiang asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhong, do you really think that Fei Luan was the one who live-broadcasted the Xie family's engagement party last night? But why did she do that?"

"That's something she should ask herself."

Zhong Yi couldn't figure it out either.

"It is so difficult to find Feiluan. Master Zhong, I think we are looking in the wrong direction. That Miss Feng has nothing to do with Feiluan. She is just a pure and stupid female college student, with a little bit of intelligence at most. She was not famous in the past and has been mediocre since she was a child."

Wan Jiang naturally checked all the information.

“You’ll know after you try it.”

Zhong Yi also tends to agree with Wan Jiang's statement, but it is just too much of a coincidence.

If there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.

You have to give it a try.

"So if we really want to have the New Year's Eve dinner here, do we have to stay up all night?"

"Why not!"

Zhong Yi leaned on the sofa with both hands and said softly, "Help me up. I'm going to the third floor to see Master Cheng. We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's time for us to have a good chat."

"yes."

Wan Jiang carefully helped him up.

Zhongyi's injury has mostly recovered, and she managed to come here today without a wheelchair. She is still very weak, but the doctor said she could move more often.

Wan Jiang helped him walk upstairs slowly and said, "You should sit in the wheelchair. I can push you and save some energy. By the ninth day of the first lunar month, you should be able to stand up and walk by yourself."

Zhong Yi glanced at him and said, "I don't dare sit in a wheelchair to see an old man and make him worry."

"oh."

It turned out to be an act of filial piety.

Wan Jiang didn't dare to say much.

…

The Huo family's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared quickly. All kinds of cooking methods such as frying, steaming and boiling were used in the kitchen. Sun Weimeng's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was also very well prepared.

Very fragrant.

The soup looks very rich and tasty, and it is made with the best ingredients.

The whole family sat at the big round table, Cheng Han sat at the top, Qiao Xi and Zhong Yi sat on both sides of him, and below them were Huo Xingzhou, Sun Weimeng and others.

"Cheers! Happy New Year!"

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, making a crisp sound.

Then take a seat.

Sun Weimeng greeted them enthusiastically: "Everyone, try the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that I made. I'll serve it to you."

He was like a busy butterfly, serving a cup of tea to everyone.

"Eat it! You're welcome! This is a secret recipe I got specially. I've tried it and it tastes pretty good." Sun Wei stared at Lao Chen and Xiao Yuan until they drank it.

On this day, no one else declined his kindness and took a few sips symbolically. Not to mention, it tasted pretty good.

But Qiao Xi didn't touch it because adding crab and barley to it would cause uterine contractions, and she would be letting Sun Weimeng down.

Sun Weimeng placed her cup in front of Huo Xingzhou, "She is your wife, she can't drink it, you drink it instead. Don't let me down. Even my parents have never enjoyed this kind of treatment."

Zhong Yi said with a fake smile: "I don't think Mr. Huo likes it very much. But I like to drink it very much. General Sun, please give me that bowl."

"OK!"

A chef enjoys seeing his cooking being eaten up the most. Sun Weiming bypassed Huo Xingzhou and placed Qiao Xi's bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of Zhong Yi.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were slightly cold.

Cheng Han took a bite and put the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall aside, taking everything in.

On one side is Zhong Yi, who is close to her, and on the other side is her apprentice's husband.

The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh, he doesn't mix them.

He just reminded her: "Ayi, when you were little, you often shared food from the same bowl with Qiao. Now that you have grown up, you should be more careful."

"I'm used to it. I forget it easily."

Zhong Yi ate with great relish and finished two bowls in no time.

Afterwards, he took out a big red envelope and asked Wan Jiang to pass it to Qiao Xi, saying, "This is a New Year's gift to make up for what I missed before."

"I have one too."

Cheng Han also gave Qiao Xi a red envelope, "Keep it."

"Ayi, Grandpa Cheng..." Qiao Xi held two thick red envelopes, her nose sour, "This is the first time I celebrate the New Year with so many people."

Zhong Yi said: "I will spend the New Year with you every year from now on."

Huo Xingzhou's face looked a little gloomy.

Sun Weimeng was eating until his cheeks were bulging. He said casually, "Huo Er, why do you look so unhappy? Don't you have any New Year gifts for Qiao Xi?"

Several pairs of eyes turned to him, and Huo Xingzhou's face turned completely dark.
