Xiao Huang had just left the villa when he received Lu Han's call.
He quickly got into the car, turned the music up to the maximum volume, answered the phone, and respectfully greeted, "Young Master Han!"
Lu Han was left at the service area by her second sister, Lu Baofei, and had nowhere to vent her anger.
Hiding in a secluded corner, she roared, "It's all your fault! When my second sister called you, didn't you tell her everything?"
Huang Xiaoqiang scratched his head, "No, apart from what we agreed on beforehand, not a single extra word was said!"
Now that Huang Xiaoqiang has someone to rely on, he is not afraid of being manipulated by Lu Han at all.
But on the surface, he remained obsequious.
This answer felt like a punch to tofu to Lu Han, making her even angrier. "How did she know everything?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bad thought popped into his mind.
Only heaven and earth know about this matter, he knows, Lin Xiaoya knows, and Huang Xiaoqiang is the real perpetrator. Even if he's stupid, he wouldn't be so stupid as to expose himself to Lu Baofei.
That leaves only one possibility.
Lin Xiaoya betrayed him!
No wonder Lu Baofei was so cold and assertive in the car just now, and only stopped after listening to Lin Xiaoya's recording.
Lin Xiaoya must have betrayed him!
Lu Han said impatiently, "Alright, alright, the video is all recorded, right?"
Huang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment, "Young Master Han, that kind of video is very bad for me. You won't give it to someone else, will you?"
Lu Han scoffed.
He secretly laughed at him, calling him a coward.
He had the desire to steal but not the courage; he got the benefit but pretended to be innocent.
"Why would I give it to someone else? Besides, didn't my mom promise you that she would settle all your wages and give you an extra bonus when she came back this time?"
"If you're worried, I'll talk to my mom first. When we get back to Jiangzhou, you can give me the money in one hand and the video in the other, okay?"
It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings.
Huang Xiaoqiang came from a humble background, but he had no ties in Jiangzhou.
Now that things have come to this, Lu Han just wants to disgust Lu Yi to death and doesn't want any more complications.
Hearing his eagerness, Huang Xiaoqiang immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, Young Master Han!"
"However, the second young lady asked me to be Mr. Lu's driver for now, and I can only go back in the next day or two..."
Lu Han waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, I trust you enough. There are so many employees in the Lu Group, why would my mother promote just you!"
"It's because you're honest and efficient. Remember, keep your mouth shut in front of my dad!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoqiang sat in his car, lost in thought for a long time.
Whether or not she can gain Lu Yi's trust depends entirely on her performance this time.
Lu Zhengming is much more difficult to deal with than Lu Baofei, and I need to be on my guard to make sure I don't make any mistakes.
Thinking of this, he made a phone call home.
The moment the call connected, the other end got straight to the point, "Xiaoqiang, didn't you say you had a car? Your fiancée has been making a fuss about wanting one these past few days!"
Huang Xiaoqiang frowned and lowered his voice.
"Mom, that's exactly what I was talking about. I'm currently on a business trip with my boss out of town. When we get back to Jiangzhou, I'll get the money and the car for my brother to drive back!"
The old man seemed unsure whether he was telling the truth and asked several times.
"Xiaoqiang, it's rare for someone to take a liking to your brother, so please do your part and help him finalize this marriage."
“If you can make your way in the world and earn money, you can find a wife to help with the family and manage those few acres of land, then Mom can enjoy her retirement.”
Hearing his mother say this, Huang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Which city girl would go back to her hometown to farm? If you want a daughter-in-law who can farm at home, why would you let him bring someone from outside back?
Do they think that girls from other places are all alone, far from home, and easy to bully?
He's already had enough of being manipulated, why should he find someone else to suffer this humiliation with?
His voice turned cold and stern: "Mom, the boss has been using the car a lot these past few days, so don't call unless it's absolutely necessary. That's all, I'm hanging up now!"
The imposing villa cast a huge shadow on the car's windshield.
I never dared to dream of owning a house like this.
For the first time, Huang Xiaoqiang truly felt that he was just a tireless ox or horse in the big city, a horse being trampled underfoot.
...
Huo Jingxi stood outside the Huo family's gate, gazing at the brightly lit entrance porch. His hand, resting on a pillar, slowly clenched into a fist.
The Huo family he remembered was no longer there.
The bustling scene at the door feels like it happened just yesterday.
When exactly did the Huo family begin its decline?
Perhaps it all started when he got involved with the Su family!
Du Guanglong arrived at the door and saw Huo Jingxi's lonely figure. He raised his hand to stop the bodyguard who came to greet him.
"How did he hurt his eyes? And what happened to his leg?"
The bodyguard had a prominent scar on his left cheek, only a centimeter or two from the corner of his eye. When he looked up at someone, he looked somewhat ferocious.
He gritted his teeth when he heard Du Guanglong's question.
"After going abroad, I was hunted down and one of my eyes was shot through. I almost lost my life!"
He seemed unwilling to recall what had happened.
Du Guanglong gasped, "Where's the leg?"
“Everything was peaceful a few years ago, but last year, the third young master was targeted again. His car was overturned and he fell off a cliff. We searched for several days before we found him.”
"The person was in a coma for a month before waking up, and they couldn't save the leg..."
Dongzi didn't dare to breathe loudly. Hearing this, he nervously rubbed his hands together and lowered his head.
It's truly remarkable that children from prestigious families can survive peacefully.
He thought Lu Yi was already in a bad situation, but he didn't expect Huo Jingxi to be even worse off than Lu Yi.
