In the bedroom.
Xie Dongyang's face was gloomy, and his voice was also tinged with anger: "Is there any news from the Huo family?"
The middle-aged man standing in the shadows answered cautiously: "The special assistant has sent a message that the Huo family hopes you will go to Haicheng to pay tribute to your husband...Ms. Huo."
He wanted to say "Madam", but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips. After all, Ms. Huo's life was ended by her husband himself.
Xie Dongyang said sarcastically: "Worship? How dare they do that!"
The middle-aged man looked at his nose and his heart, and said respectfully: "I will take care of this matter, and I won't let them ruin your mood."
Xie Dongyang, who was filled with anger, said nothing. He walked straight to a door in the room and went to the wine cabinet next door to drink alone.

Xie Yanxi found Xie Jinyao, who must be heartbroken because of a broken heart.
When he saw the little princess, he couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you were crying, but I didn't expect you to turn your grief and anger into appetite. How much did you eat?"
Xie Jinyao was like a starving ghost. She asked the Xie family's head chef to cook many specialties from all over the world. Among them, the main dishes used by the cabinet to entertain foreign guests were her favorite.
Xie Jinyao's charming peach blossom eyes, which were exactly the same as Qin Shu's, glanced coldly at Xie Yanxi who walked in.
"Third brother, why did you come just now? Did you find out the news?"
Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of sweetness and daintyness, a replica of Qin Shu's.
Xie Yanxi said with a headache: "It's not that easy. Big brother is too defensive and I can't find out any information."
He put the midnight snacks he brought on the table: "My eldest brother asked me to bring these to you. He had the kitchen in the main building prepare them. They are all the special snacks from Beijing that you like, and they are still warm."
Xie Jinyao accepted everything and tasted some of them. Even eating couldn't stop her from complaining about Xie Yanxi who was not doing his job well.
"Third brother, you are really useless. You can't find out any information. It would be better if second brother was here."
Speaking of Xie Chennan, the second young master of the Xie family, he has been traveling all over the country in recent years and is often not seen for a year or two.
Xie Yanxi rubbed his forehead with a headache when he thought of his elder brother who had become cold and callous like a machine, his second brother who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and his fourth brother who enjoyed the atmosphere of officialdom.
He side-glanced at Xie Jinyao, who was eating snacks in small bites and looked delicate and exquisite: "Yaoyao, are you sure there is something wrong with your sister-in-law?"
Three years ago, Xie Dongyang went out with his wife and encountered an assassination attempt.
At the critical moment, Mrs. Xie blocked a bullet for Xie Dongyang and died on the spot.
Xie Dongyang was seriously injured, with irreversible sequelae to his heart and lungs, so he cannot get angry easily.
Xie Jinyao wiped the corners of her lips elegantly, and said firmly: "Brother Jiayan was assassinated last week. We captured a person alive and got some information from him. That person mentioned the assassination three years ago. It was someone codenamed Huang Ying who was responsible for assassinating Brother Jiayan."
Xie Yanxi asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with my sister-in-law?"
Xie Jinyao looked at Xie Yanxi quietly with her clear and cold eyes.
"I suspect that my sister-in-law is Huang Ying. The person captured alive by Brother Jiayan described the appearance of Huang Ying, who assassinated my brother. I pried open Brother Jiayan's office and found the hand-drawn picture. That face is my sister-in-law."
Xie Yanxi widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "So, this is the truth about why Chen Jiayan dumped you?"
Princess Xie narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I wasn't dumped because I've never been with Brother Jia Yan. After he found out that I broke into the office, I ran away. In Hong Kong, traitors are usually shot on the spot. I was afraid of dying in their hands, so I ran away."
In fact, even if this incident had not happened, Xie Jinyao would have left too, because Chen Jiayan already had a fiancée, the only daughter of an oil tycoon.
No matter how much she endured the self-abuse, she could not bear to see the man she loved marry another woman.
Xie Yanxi's face was full of indescribable things, and he felt a little disappointed: "You are really promising. You have been with Chen Jiayan for several years, but you still can't handle him, and you have a fiancée."
Xie Jinyao grabbed the chopsticks at hand and threw them at Xie Yanxi, saying angrily: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!"
"The question now is why did my eldest brother hide the truth about the assassination three years ago from us? I remember that my eldest brother liked my eldest sister-in-law very much. He rejected many noble ladies for her, a commoner, and even made our grandparents unhappy."
Speaking of this, Xie Yanxi also had a headache: "I noticed that my eldest brother's expression was not right tonight. He would get angry when he mentioned my eldest sister-in-law before. I used to think that my eldest brother was too deeply in love and was sad. Now I think it is more appropriate to describe him as angry and hateful."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Did you take pictures?"
Xie Jinyao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he was asking. She shook her head and said, "I didn't have time to take a photo. I was discovered too quickly. If I didn't know the Chen family mansion well enough, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to get out."
Xie Yanxi fell silent, and the room fell into a strange stagnation.
Xie Jinyao narrowed her eyes and asked suddenly, "Has the Huo family always come to ask for money every now and then over the years?"
Xie Yanxi nodded: "They don't ask for much, only tens of millions every year. They don't dare to ask for more. The Family Office always takes the eldest brother's account."
Xie Jinyao said, "Stop it immediately. If Huo Wanyi is not cleared of suspicion, the Huo family will never get a penny from Big Brother."
Xie Yanxi tilted his head and smiled: "You don't even call me sister-in-law anymore? I think you just think too much. If sister-in-law is really Huang Ying, with big brother's methods, he would not tolerate the existence of the Huo family, let alone let them take tens of millions of dollars every year."
Xie Jinyao shook her head and said, "I only believe what I see with my own eyes. I took risks to get the information, and I didn't hesitate to let Brother Jiayan think that I was a traitor, because I knew that there was indeed something behind the assassination three years ago."
Xie Yanxi was silent for a long time: "I will contact my second and fourth brothers. This matter must be clarified. If there is really a problem with the Huo family, no matter what concerns my eldest brother has, we cannot keep them."
"Yeah." Xie Jinyao stood up: "I'm sleepy, you go."
Xie Yanxi waved his hand: "You go first, I'll sort out some things at your place, I just didn't finish it at my eldest brother's place."
Xie Jinyao yawned lazily and walked upstairs with light and lazy cat steps.
At this time, Xie Yanxi's gloating voice came from behind.
"Yaoyao, Big Brother thought you were bullied by Chen Jiayan, so he plans to bring him to you when he comes to the inland for a meeting some time later."
“Bang!”
The blue and white porcelain on the display cabinet on the small staircase platform was accidentally knocked over by Xie Jinyao as her feet slipped.
After she steadied herself, she turned back in disbelief and looked down at Xie Yanxi who was leaning on the sofa.
"Brother, is he crazy? Chen Jiayan is not an unknown person."
