Chapter 874 She is thinking about divorce

Bang!

Zhong Lingxiao knelt on his knees without thinking.

Kneeling in front of the old lady, "You must have misunderstood, I never meant that. Everything I did was for the good of the Zhong family."

The old lady sneered and said, "Can you swear that you don't have the slightest thought of wishing me dead?"

"I swear, no way!"

To Zhong Lingxiao, swearing such an illusory thing was just a trick to deceive people.

The atmosphere in the ward was tense.

Zhong Lingxiao's knees hurt a little, and he stood straight, not daring to show any dissatisfaction. He was waiting for the old lady's next instruction. He must be very angry that she had rushed here today and forced her way into the ward.

He had many ideas in his mind, wanting to make amends and apologize.

First stabilize the old lady.

"Old lady, since you..."

"Return all the seals I gave you."

Zhong Lingxiao was suddenly stuck: "Wha...what?"

"Give me back all the seals I handed you on the day the ancestral hall was opened. I will reconsider the choice of successor. What you did disappointed me so much. I don't think you are capable of standing in that position."

Zhong Lingxiao's back suddenly tensed up.

He didn't know whether the old lady was testing him or was serious. Was she really going to give him the seal?

"Grandma, I don't have the seal with me."

"Then send someone to get it now. I can wait in the hospital." The old lady was calm and composed. She was not even willing to wait for a whole night.

Zhong Lingxiao's heart was in turmoil. "Are you kidding me? On the day of the opening ceremony, many people knew that you were going to hand over the position of heir to me. Why are you suddenly..."

"My things, I give to whomever I want."

Old Mrs. Zhong also figured it out. Neither Zhong Yi nor Zhong Lingxiao was worry-free. But comparing the two, Zhong Yi was more conscientious.

If the Zhong family fell into Zhong Yi's hands, their fate would be much better.

He used to think that the country girl was an obstacle, but now he thinks that Qiao Xi could be a helpful helper at some point. After a life-and-death experience, the old lady has become indifferent.

"Are you going to give it to Zhong Yi?"

Zhong Lingxiao raised his head, anger and suspicion in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Old Mrs. Zhong seemed to have seen through his evil ambitions long ago and asked, "Can't I give it to you?"

Zhong Yi put all the evidence of what Zhong Lingxiao had done in front of him, including evidence that he was trying to harm him. The old lady felt cold in her heart, and felt that she had been too partial to Zhong Lingxiao. She thought that if he could have a child, she could give him the Zhong family.

Just so disappointed.

Zhong Lingxiao stood up slowly, looked at the old lady and said, "I said I can't give it to you."

"Why should I give it to you?"

"Old man, don't forget that those seals are in my hands. I am already the head of the Zhong family, and I even have the power to expel Zhong Yi from the Zhong family. He is just an illegitimate child. How many magic potions have you fed him? You want to give him the Zhong family's hundreds of years of foundation? I am the legitimate heir!"

Zhong Lingxiao has resented his fate for most of his life, hating why an illegitimate child would come to snatch things from him.

His mother is the proper Mrs. Zhong!

Is fate too unfair to him?

When the old man learned that he was seriously ill, he took his illegitimate son back to the imperial capital without a second thought.

This was a blow to him!

Old Lady Zhong looked at him and said slowly: "You should know that from the beginning I never thought of letting Zhong Yi take over the family business. He was brought back by me only to serve as a tool to carry on the family line. But you made things difficult for him and aroused his fighting spirit. He grew up step by step to a point that you and I could hardly control, and he also became an excellent candidate. In the final analysis, Zhong Lingxiao, you are useless!"

He received elite education from the Zhong family, but lost to an illegitimate child.

Who is to blame?

Zhong Lingxiao didn't expect the old lady to think this way.

He smiled sarcastically: "You are old, so you should stay in the hospital to recover. As for the Zhong family, I will make it strong and prosperous. You don't have many years left in this life, so you should enjoy your life! Starting tomorrow, I will send more people to protect your safety."

Old Mrs. Zhong didn't say anything. Was she sending more people to help him ascend to heaven as soon as possible?

Zhong Lingxiao directly knocked over the cup of water and turned away.

Old Mrs. Zhong leaned on the hospital bed, her mood not seeming to be affected at all. His voice was slightly hoarse: "I wanted to give him a chance, after all, he is really pitiful. He didn't want it, so let it be."

While cleaning up the broken glass on the floor, the butler said, "Old lady, Master Zhong Yi has always been the best candidate."

"Do you think I was wrong to let them fight it out at the beginning?"

The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more, only saying: "A harmonious family brings prosperity."

No one in a normal family would deliberately stir up disputes among the younger generation and fight to the death. Family members should not become aggressive catfish.

If one party's thoughts had been cut off from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.

After all, the old man was wrong.

…

The night is dark.

The moonlight is clear.

A luxury car stopped at the gate of Xie Mansion, and Huo Sijiao sat in the car, feeling a little hesitant.

"Aren't we going back to our villa?"

Xie Xubai put his coat on her and said softly, "Mother knows about the engagement party tonight and is afraid that you will be frightened. She specially asked us to stay here because there are more people and it's lively. Maybe you won't be scared in the middle of the night."

The Xie family was very considerate and attentive, and Huo Sijiao felt that her mother-in-law was impeccable. She had never seen such a gentle and soft woman, who made people feel comfortable like water.

Huo Sijiao pulled his sleeve, looked at him seriously with her beautiful eyes and said, "Actually, I'm not afraid."

"Really?"

Xie Xubai opened the car door and a gust of cold wind blew in. Huo Sijiao couldn't help shrinking her neck, so he tied a scarf around her neck.

"Let's go. We've prepared some midnight snacks at home. You didn't eat anything at the party, so it would be nice to go home and have some hot soup."

Xie Xubai stretched out his hand and looked at her.

Huo Sijiao felt helpless and could only hold his fingers tightly.

But when I got off the car, I felt a pulling pain in the injured right leg.

Without thinking, Xie Xubai bent down and hugged her. Huo Sijiao instinctively stretched out her hands and wrapped them around his neck, her ears burning.

She lowered her head with some confusion in her heart. According to the current trend, the Huo family and Zhong Yi would be able to settle the situation in the imperial capital soon by joining forces.

Her agreement with Xie Xubai will also be completed.

But this man seemed to really respect and pamper her as if she were his wife.

Huo Sijiao felt indescribably depressed.

Xie Xubai's voice came from above: "What are you thinking about?"

"divorce."

Huo Sijiao said this in a daze. It was not until the man stopped that she realized what she had said.

Suddenly bit her red lips.
