Chapter 11 Chapter 11

After leaving the garden, the two walked towards the greenhouse. There was another winding cobblestone path with flower trees that Song Lingxi couldn't name planted on the side of the road.

There was a flowering tree that was probably quite old. It had lush branches and leaves, and stood tall like a canopy. Its huge crown covered the path. Pink flowers hung from the branches, slanting across the path. One branch happened to fall right in front of Song Lingxi, blocking her view.

Before she could stop and brush aside the branches in front of her, a large hand with slender knuckles reached out from the side and brushed away the branches for her.

Song Lingxi was stunned and looked sideways. Zong Xuecheng's tall figure was hidden among the flowers and trees, and his expression could not be seen.

After passing the flower tree, Song Lingxi no longer had the mood to explore his expression at that time.

The greenhouse was right in front of him. Song Lingxi was a little excited and quickened his pace.

The speed was so fast that my left foot tripped over my right foot and I fell on the spot.

Zong Xuecheng: “…”

Zong Xuecheng helped Song Lingxi up, frowned, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Hiss..." Song Lingxi wanted to say that it was okay, but his knee was burning with pain. His left foot couldn't touch the ground yet. It would hurt as soon as it touched the ground.

"Don't move." Zong Xuecheng carried Song Lingxi to a nearby bench.

When Secretary Qian arrived with the family doctor and medicine box, he saw his boss squatting on the ground trying to move Miss Song's ankle. The boss only let go of her foot when Miss Song cried out in pain.

Then, the boss lifted up Miss Song's other foot and helped her take off her shoe. He stopped only after Miss Song said it was okay several times... and then put on the shoe for her.

Secretary Qian: “…”! ???

What on earth did he see!?

Secretary Qian was stunned and looked again in disbelief. The person kneeling on the ground turned out to be his cold-blooded and ruthless boss.

Secretary Qian is incredible. He was transferred to the boss's side as a personal assistant in March this year. Before he came, everyone said that the boss had another girlfriend who he had been dating for many years but the boss never gave her a formal relationship.

They all think that the boss's girlfriend loves the boss badly, but they also think it's normal. Regardless of his wealth, the boss is top-notch in terms of appearance. Add to that the wealth of a wealthy family leader, and he does have the ability to make women fall in love with him to death.

If a single mother with a child is favored by the boss, she must cling to him desperately.

To put it bluntly, to describe their boss as cold-blooded and merciless is an underestimation of him. The boss is a person who only cares about interests and has no feelings. Such a person naturally would not care much about a humble woman.

The boss's attitude will affect his subordinates to a certain extent, so Secretary Qian was very disdainful of Miss Song at the beginning.

But when he really became the boss's personal secretary and met the boss's legendary girlfriend, he suddenly discovered that things were not as they had guessed. Miss Song was not humble at all. She was very confident in front of the boss, comfortable and natural, not as cautious as he had imagined.

Very strange.

The boss's attitude towards her seemed to be just so-so, and he even abandoned her at the banquet, causing Miss Song to almost be bullied by Wang Ruowei.

...Miss Song didn't seem to care. She was not sad or disappointed. She was even able to go walking around the garden with her boss. How strong must her heart be?

This is so strange. Secretary Qian feels that his IQ is not enough and he can no longer understand what the boss and Miss Song are thinking.

Until he saw his boss, who was always naive and arrogant, kneeling on one knee to take off Miss Song's shoes.

The scene at that moment was so shocking that Secretary Qian almost cried out.

Secretary Qian felt as if he had overheard something extraordinary, but on second thought he felt something was not right.

It was so strange. Even though he was an experienced lover, he just couldn't understand what was going on between these two people.

Secretary Qian, who was confused, shook his head, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and hurried over with his family doctor.

The family doctor examined her and, after asking for Song Lingxi's consent, gave her a careful massage.

After the massage, Song Lingxi moved his feet a few times and it really didn’t hurt as much. The doctor’s skills were really good.

After all this trouble, it was completely dark. Song Lingxi lost interest in going to the Zong family greenhouse and wanted to go home.

Song Lingxi did what she thought. She immediately said to Zong Xuecheng, "Mr. Zong, thank you for taking me to visit the garden. Let's stop here today. I want to go home."

After saying this, Zong Xuecheng didn't react at all. Secretary Qian was shocked by Miss Song's directness and distance.

Looking at Zong Xuecheng again, he didn't seem to think anything was wrong. He nodded calmly and said, "I'll have the driver take you home."

Secretary Qian: “…” It was confirmed that it was just his illusion.

However, Secretary Qian sighed in his heart and said vaguely: "Boss, Zong Fei and Xie Qiao went out to play and haven't come back yet. He told me that he would send Xie Qiao home when the time comes."

Zong Xuecheng glanced at Secretary Qian and said, "You and he have a pretty good relationship recently."

"Haha, no where, no where." Secretary Qian laughed.

Fortunately, Zong Xuecheng stopped talking in time, and Secretary Qian realized that he had escaped a disaster. He thought to himself, "My two little ancestors, I can only help you up to this point."

…

The fourth generation of the clan lives alone in a villa, but their grandparents and parents do not have this treatment. Because of internal strife in the early years, not only were their shares taken back by the clan elders and they were expelled from the company management, but they were also not allowed to live in the old house and were all driven out.

Up to now, the second and third generation children of the main family can only stay in the guest rooms when they return to the old house. If the grandfather had not shown leniency to the great-grandchildren, they might not have had their own rooms in the old house.

This group of children, who were about the same age as Zong Fei, were sent to live in the old house by their parents when they were thirteen or fourteen years old. They were privately taught to please Zong Laoyezi and Zong Xuecheng and not to offend Zong Fei.

Zong Fei was too tired to engage in intrigue with them, so she simply moved out with her father, and only came back to stay with Master Zong for a few days during holidays.

Zong Xuecheng asked Zong Fei to entertain Xie Qiao. Zong Fei did not think much about it at this time and took Xie Qiao to visit his grandfather, Mr. Zong.

Master Zong was surprised that Zong Fei would bring a friend back, and said with relief, "Our Ah Fei has made a friend. This boy is really good-looking, even more delicate than Ah Fei."

Zong Fei/Xie Qiao: "..." When did the two of them become friends?

Zong Fei's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart that he should not have brought Xie Qiao with him. However, he agreed with his old man's words, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Qiao beside him, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, Master Zeng, this is my good buddy Xie Qiao, otherwise why would I bring him to see you?"

It is too troublesome to explain Xie Qiao's identity. Besides, these things are his biological father's job. Why should he take risks for the old man?

It would be better to just go with the flow and admit that Xie Qiao was his friend.

When Zong Fei attacked him, Xie Qiao was completely dumbfounded. A trace of distortion appeared on his usually calm and composed face. He looked at Zong Fei as if he was a lunatic.

The fact that Zong Fei called him "brother" was so strange that he would suddenly sit up in bed in the middle of the night and think: No, is he sick?

It was not known whether Master Zong could not see due to his age or he was pretending not to see their little movements. He was smiling from beginning to end, caring about Zong Fei and Xie Qiao like an elder, asking many questions about their studies and life, which made Zong Fei impatient.

"Grandpa Zeng, I'm going to go out with my friends first, and I'll come back to see you."

Mr. Zong was not angry either. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask any more questions. Go and have fun and take good care of your little friend."

Zong Fei quickly agreed and couldn't wait to go out, for fear that he would be stopped and asked questions again the next second.

The first second after leaving the room, the two of them quickly jumped away from each other.

"Are you sick?" Xie Qiao patted the arm that Zong Fei had touched and shook off the goose bumps on his body.

If it weren't for the old man, Xie Qiao would have pushed Zong Fei away long ago.

Zong Fei: “…”

Why does it look like he is rushing forward?

Zong Fei was angry, but in order not to lose everything, he took a long breath, swallowed his frustration and said, "Hey, keep your voice down, you haven't gone far yet."

After hearing this, Xie Qiao turned around and looked at the cool guys in black suits and sunglasses standing on both sides of the door, then awkwardly followed their lead and shut his mouth.

As the two walked out of the outer gate, they bumped into Zong Fei's uncles who were waiting at the door. They were very surprised to see Zong Fei taking Xie Qiao to see Master Zong. "Ah Fei, why are you taking him to see Master?"

They all knew that Zong Xuecheng had brought his lover back to the Zong family, and naturally they also knew the identity of the young man next to Zong Fei.

This is outrageous. The grandchildren and grandchildren-in-law can't see their grandfather, but outsiders saw him first with Zong Fei.

They looked at Zong Fei as if she were a fool. Xie Qiao's mother was Zong Xuecheng's girlfriend. If she was really married by Zong Xuecheng, she would be Zong Fei's stepmother.

Since ancient times, stepmothers have not behaved like human beings. How can the son of a stepmother be a good thing?

It would be fine if Zong Fei had no resistance or disgust, but why did he help him and take him to the old man to win his favor?

But it really is...

"Yes, is there any problem?" Zong Fei pretended not to understand what these people meant.

"Of course..." Zong Fei's uncle just said two words, and then he changed his tone of voice for some reason, "Of course no problem."

"Then we'll take our leave now. See you later, uncles and aunts."

After saying this, he took Xie Qiao and left without looking back.

"This kid is so arrogant. He doesn't even take us seriously." The second son of the second family stared at Zong Fei's back and said with an unpleasant expression.

The people around him didn't think so, "Isn't that normal? He is the only child of his father, and the Zong family will be his sooner or later. If I were in his place, I would be crazy too."

"I now hope that Zong Xuecheng's woman can get promoted. If she has another one, it will stir up trouble and make things even more lively."

As for how the water was stirred and who stirred it, everyone knew it well.

"It seems that I won't be able to see grandpa again today. Humph, if our parents hadn't been so bad, the arrogant person now might be our child." The second son of the second wife left after leaving a seemingly complaining remark.

After he left, no one responded to the conversation. Instead, Zhao Fengxian, the son of Zong Simiao, the youngest daughter of Zong Laoye, rolled his eyes and said, "Does the second brother think that everyone else is stupid and he is the only one who is smart?"

At that time, the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the third uncle took the successor assessment together. The eldest uncle and the second uncle were defeated and the third uncle should have become the family heir. However, the eldest uncle and the second uncle failed the fair competition, so they had evil thoughts and conspired to kill their own brother, sister-in-law, and their three-year-old daughter.

The only survivor, Zong Xuecheng, was only fourteen years old that year. He was also a ruthless man. He witnessed everything, but he was able to endure and lie dormant for ten years.

He completed his studies in ten years, returned home to take over the business to test his own abilities, and married into the Wang family to gain external support...

He fought steadily step by step, and no matter whether they were the elders in Zong Xuecheng or his cousins ​​of the same age, they were no match for him. In one fell swoop, he became the most dazzling person among all the people in the three generations of the Zong family.

He also successfully gained the support of his grandfather, who even bypassed the first and second wives and directly handed over the bulk of the family business to Zong Xuecheng.

He clearly hinted to his family that Zong Xuecheng was the next successor he favored.

Now that's good, the first and second wives have been planning for many years, and even killed their own brother, but in the end they didn't get anything out of him, and they are starting to have evil thoughts again.

They didn't expect that Qing was waiting for them, and was afraid that they wouldn't take action.

The result was obvious. The first and second wives were retaliated against by Zong Xuecheng using the same means, or even bloodier means.

Everyone then realized that it was not that Zong Xuecheng had forgotten about his parents and sister. He remembered it too well and had just been waiting for an opportunity.

From then on, the first and second wives never recovered, with only a few children left, who have been living in poverty ever since.

Who among the clan members who have experienced that incident would not feel terrified when thinking back on it?

The second son of the second branch's provocative methods are nothing compared to Zong Xuecheng's iron-blooded ruthlessness. Who would dare to touch his only son, a man who has been hiding and lurking for ten years for the sake of revenge, and who would never reveal his hostility unless the enemy made the first move?

Are you afraid of dying?

Zhao Fengxian was not stupid. He had seen the second brother treating others as fools and provoking others.

"A little bit," the third son of the second branch nodded and sighed, "He is also wrong. It is obvious that our parents and our generation have not been able to defeat Zong Xuecheng. If he could have been better than Zong Xuecheng, his son would have the qualifications to be arrogant."

However, their skills are not as good as others. Compared with Zong Xuecheng, they are too mediocre.

It was like a reincarnation, their father was crushed by their third uncle, and now it was their turn to be crushed by Zong Xuecheng. They had to watch as Zong Fei's generation and their children were wasted again.

The third brother now understood his father and uncle. They were brothers from the same mother, but when they were young, they taught their younger brothers like the eldest brother. However, after they grew up, they became mediocre and incompetent compared to their younger brothers who were becoming more and more outstanding. Their father looked at them with more and more disappointment.

Who can not be jealous? Who can resist?

Not to mention that the entire family will be handed over to the younger brother in the future, and the two eldest brothers will have to rely on their younger brother for their livelihood.

Zong Fei took Xie Qiao back to his place. He did not explain who those people were, and Xie Qiao did not ask. He intuitively felt that Zong Fei was in a bad mood and was too lazy to touch the mold.

He himself also has important things to do.

Xie Qiao took out a laptop from his bag and started typing.

After a while, the only sound in the room was the sound of Xie Qiao typing on the keyboard. Zong Fei's depressed mood improved a little. She was curious about what Xie Qiao was doing, so she slowly moved over to take a look.

"Whose address are you looking for?" Zong Fei asked curiously.

Xie Qiao did not reply to him.

"Could it be the address of the Song family?" Zong Fei's mind worked quickly, and he soon figured out who Xie Qiao was trying to find out by using hacking methods.

But then again, this kid is indeed not as serious as he looks, he is actually quite dark and gloomy.

"Don't bother. I'll call Secretary Qian and he'll be able to find out quickly." Zong Fei waved his cell phone and said to Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao didn't stop and said without turning his head, "No need."

Zong Fei didn't care whether he used it or not. He organized his words and sent a text message to Secretary Qian.

After a while, Zong Fei received a text message. He opened it, raised his eyebrows, turned to Xie Qiao and said, "Really not necessary?"

"No need," Xie Qiao finally raised his head this time and tapped a key on the keyboard. A confirmation signal flashed on the screen, and he said, "Found it."

The corner of Zong Fei's mouth twitched. Is being a genius so great?

"So what?" Zong Fei was curious, "What if we find it?"

Xie Qiao looked at him in confusion and said, "Kill them."

Zong Fei: “!?”
