025 Marital Status: Married
Huo Yanxi's phoenix eyes were half-closed, and he remained silent for a long time.
The butler, unable to fathom his thoughts, was about to leave when he heard the man's deep, cold voice.
Who made the egg pancakes this morning?
The housekeeper was taken aback, then quickly said, "It's Teacher Xie."
Huo Yanxi suddenly opened his eyes, and Xie Yaoyao's face flashed through his mind—a round face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, with a vague sense of familiarity.
The egg pancakes she made tasted just like the egg pancakes made by Chi Xiaoman.
Is it a coincidence, or...?
"Have you investigated her background?"
In recent years, many people have tried to put people around him under various pretexts, all with ulterior motives.
However, Xie Yaoyao was someone he picked casually at the teacher appreciation banquet, so there shouldn't be any problem with her.
However, Huo Yanxi is a cautious person, especially after the Huo family topped the wealth list, he became a thorn in the side of many people.
Not to mention how many people outside want him dead, even his own mother wishes she could get rid of him as soon as possible.
The housekeeper nodded. "I've checked. Teacher Xie's information was sent over yesterday."
"Let me see it."
The butler turned and quickly went back to his room, returning with a survey document.
Xie Yaoyao's life story is very simple and easy to understand.
She is not from Hong Kong, but is registered in Shenzhen. Both her parents are deceased, she has a son, and she is married.
Upon seeing the word "married," Huo Yanxi felt an inexplicable unease.
Huo Yanxi slammed the file shut, feeling as if something was stuck in his chest, making it hard to breathe.
What he's thinking? She couldn't possibly be her.

Xie Yaoyao led Xie Ziyu out of the subway station and walked towards the old tenement building, where they encountered many acquaintances who greeted them.
She has a good personality and is well-liked.
"Teacher Xie, where is this place?" The convenience store owner outside the old tenement building looked at Xie Yaoyao with a smile.
She really liked this girl; she was chubby and looked very lucky.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "I went on a business trip."
The convenience store owner chatted with her for a few more minutes, and after watching her walk away with Xie Ziyu, she turned around and went back to the convenience store.
Liu Hu, the son, sat on a tattered leather chair playing video games, but his eyes were fixed on Xie Yaoyao as she walked away.
The convenience store owner urged, "What are you looking at? If you like it, just go for it!"
Liu Hu was fat and had big ears. He went on several blind dates, but each time the other party disliked his ugly appearance, and nothing came of it.
The convenience store owner was worried because she was almost forty and still hadn't found a wife.
Until Xie Yaoyao moved to the old tenement building, Liu Hu would stare at her back like a madman every day after get off work as she passed by their convenience store.
She knew that her son was interested in Xie Yaoyao.
She also liked this girl quite a bit. Although she was a bit chubby, she looked very lucky and was a perfect match for her son.
Liu Hu withdrew his lecherous gaze. "She's a teacher, why would she even look at me?"
"If she doesn't like you, can't you just force yourself on her? Get her pregnant, then she'll be with you, won't she?"
Liu Hu was suddenly enlightened, and the lewd look in his eyes intensified.
Xie Yaoyao sneezed violently as she went upstairs. Xie Ziyu pulled his hand away from hers and said, "Mommy, I want to go see Wangzai."
Having not seen his friend for two days, Xie Ziyu wanted to go visit him.
Xie Yaoyao reminded her, "Don't play for too long, come back early."
"Okay." Xie Ziyu ran away without looking back.
Xie Yaoyao stood in the hallway for a while, and only continued upstairs after seeing Xie Ziyu knock on Wangzai's door.
Back at the rented apartment, it hadn't rained for the past two days, so the leak in the living room wasn't as bad.
However, because the doors and windows were closed, the room had a damp, fishy, and musty smell.
She stood her suitcase by the door and went to open the window to let in some fresh air.
Actually, even if you open the windows in these coffin rooms, it doesn't really make much difference; it's better than nothing.
If she continued to live in such an environment, she probably wouldn't feel anything was wrong.
But having just lived in a suite of nearly 100 square meters, returning here now brings a sense of loss that words cannot describe.
If she, an adult, is like this, what must Yu Bao be thinking?
Xie Yaoyao collected the several basins that had been catching the leaking water from the ground, washed them clean, and placed them under the washbasin.
The house, less than 30 square meters, was small and cramped, and Xie Yaoyao couldn't help but sigh.
She sat on the sofa and took out her phone to search for listings online.
There are plenty of apartments available, but the two-bedroom apartments she wants are very expensive; those closer to the city center cost at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month.
She looked around but couldn't find a suitable place. Then, glancing at the time, she put down her phone and got up to make dinner.
I had just rinsed the rice and put it in the pot when the doorbell rang.
She thought Xie Ziyu had returned, so she opened the door without even looking through the peephole.
"Yubao, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Liu Hu standing at the door with a lewd look on his face, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Liu Hu's lecherous gaze lingered on her chest. "Teacher Xie, my mom asked me to bring you some fresh vegetables she grew herself."
Xie Yaoyao saw that he was carrying a bag that looked like freshly picked bok choy, still covered in dirt.
She pursed her lips. "Thank you, you guys keep the food for yourselves."
As she spoke, she was about to close the door, shutting the ill-intentioned man out.
The next second.
A large, fat hand pressed down on the door panel. Liu Hu's expression was obsequious. "My mother specifically asked me to bring this over. Let me put it in the kitchen with you first."
Before Xie Yaoyao could refuse, Liu Hu's bulky body had already squeezed through the door and entered the room with an air of nonchalance.
As he entered the kitchen, Xie Yaoyao stood by the door, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
Something unusual must be going on.
She and the convenience store owner were barely acquaintances; Liu Hu's enthusiastic delivery of vegetables suggested something fishy or thieving.
Liu Hu lingered in the kitchen. Seeing Xie Yaoyao standing by the door without coming in, he deliberately made noise in the kitchen.
Then he exclaimed "Ouch!"
Xie Yaoyao was wary of him, but also worried that he might break things in the kitchen, so she quickly went in to check.
Liu Hu hid by the kitchen door and waited for her.
As soon as she came over, he pounced on her, pinned Xie Yaoyao against the wall, and kissed her with his foul-smelling mouth.
"Teacher Xie, are you bored being all alone? Let your brother feed you first."
Xie Yaoyao felt nauseous from his breath. She pushed his shoulder hard and yelled, "Get away!"
Liu Hu tried to kiss her several times but failed, which annoyed him. He then began to grope Xie Yaoyao's body with both hands.
He was strong and powerful, and Xie Yaoyao couldn't push him away at all, so she cried out for help.
Her mouth was covered by Liu Hu, and she smelled the burnt tobacco from an old smoker. She struggled desperately.
The more she struggled, the more excited Liu Hu became, and he reached out to lift her shirt skirt.
Xie Yaoyao was terrified.
The next second, I suddenly felt a lightness on my body, followed by a muffled thud, and the floorboards seemed to shake from the impact.
Xie Yaoyao straightened her shirt dress while looking out of the kitchen.
Liu Hu fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain, while a man who looked exactly like Yama, the King of Hell, stood beside him.
