Chapter 85 "I Will Discipline"
Jiang Qia has not been at home these days, so how could he have watered his orchid to death?
but--
Jiang Qia suddenly remembered something that happened a few days ago.
She caught a cold the night she was pecked by the goose, and the housekeeper and aunt forced Jiang Qia to take medicine three times a day. She was not allowed to eat if she didn't finish it.
The pills were fine, but Jiang Qia really hated drinking those bitter and smelly black powders, so he secretly poured them into the flowerpot.
The flower pots in Huo Wenyi's study.
There were messy grass leaves growing on it and no one had watered it for several days, so Jiang Qia was just right to add some nutrients to it.
Jiang Qia had done something wrong, so he now had a restrained expression and was in no mood to bully the messy relatives of the Wu family. He just wanted to slip away as soon as possible.
Neither Wu Xinghan nor the old lady of the Wu family expected Huo Wenyi to come at this time, so they hurried up to greet him.
Huo Wenyi was adept at handling interpersonal relationships. He spoke a few words to them and then his eyes fell on Jiang Qia.
Jiang Qia felt a little guilty.
She knew that Huo Wenyi's things were quite expensive. Even a chair or a vase was worth a lot of money. She heard that some flowers were very precious, especially orchids. If a pot cost tens of millions, wouldn't Jiang Qia be burdened with a huge debt?
Jiang Qia quickly searched for those extremely expensive orchid varieties to see if the orchid in Huo Wenyi's study matched any of them.
Wu Xingcai also smiled and moved closer to Huo Wenyi: "Mr. Huo, I've heard of your name for a long time, but this is the first time I've met you today."
Although there are few young self-made wealthy people in the circle, they are not rare. After all, there are too many young people who are ambitious and capable of moving up.
It is not uncommon to see rich second-generations or other second- and third-generations in the circle, because wealthy families will have children, and some will have more than one or two.
People like Huo Wenyi, who are at the top of the heap in terms of appearance, background and ability, are rare.
Mrs. Wu introduced: "Mr. Huo, this is our little girl Xingcai."
Wu Xingcai and her older brother, Wu Xinghan, didn't look all that similar. Girls in that industry were more or less concerned with their image, and even wealthy women would spend heavily on self-care. Few were as slick as Wu Xinghan, who thought that being a big boss meant women would still flock to him even if he didn't care about his looks.
Wu Xingcai has a thin figure and her facial features are not very delicate, but she has that kind of charm and mature femininity. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows reveal a special charm that little girls don't have.
Huo Wenyi shook her hand: "Hello."
Wu Xinghan's face flushed, and he quickly asked Huo Wenyi to sit down and talk.
After a while, Wu Xingcai went to get a cocktail, holding a straw in her mouth, and her charming eyes kept looking at Huo Wenyi.
Jiang Qia was still worried about the orchid. She wanted to be stubborn and refuse to admit it, for she was worried that Huo Wenyi would find out that she had killed his orchid and would chop her up and use it as fertilizer to put in the flowerpot.
Shang Xinmei came over and asked, "Why don't you go to Wen Yi?"
Jiang Qia: "Wait a minute before going."
Shang Xinmei glanced at Wu Xingcai coldly: "The Wu family's little aunt is not a person who can be easily worried about. Don't let Huo Wenyi hook up with her."
Jiang Qia looked towards Huo Wenyi for a while and indeed found that Wu Xingcai was looking at Huo Wenyi.
But Jiang Qia didn't think Huo Wenyi would take the bait.
Because Huo Wenyi's character in the original text is that he is not interested in women and is reserved and abstinent.
Perhaps only a cold and taciturn girl like Shen Hanfan would attract Huo Wenyi's attention, because they are of the same type and have many common topics.
Jiang Qia asked, "Did you have a fight with Uncle Wu? Did you have a conflict?"
Shang Xinmei's jaw suddenly tensed.
Jiang Qia didn't know how to speak, let alone what to say. As a junior, it would not be appropriate for her to interfere in the messy affairs of her elders.
So, Jiang Qia just said: "You are still a beautiful woman, there is no need to be sad for an ugly middle-aged man."
Shang Xinmei pressed the corners of her lips: "Your thoughts now are the same as mine when I was young."
Jiang Qia tilted his head: "What were you like when you were young?"
"She's arrogant and has a hot temper. She only likes good-looking men and looks down on ugly ones." Shang Xinmei said, "Then she starts to think that good-looking men are unreliable and bad, while ugly ones are honest and reliable."
Jiang Qia asked, "What about now?"
"Now I feel that the decision I made when I was young was the right one." Shang Xinmei touched Jiang Qia's face, "At least I gave birth to a beautiful daughter, a beautiful baby born from my belly."
Beautiful genes are always difficult to inherit.
There are even fewer children like Jiang Qia who have inherited more outstanding genes.
Compared to the Wu family's ugly twins, Jiang Qia and Shang Xinmei look more similar.
However, Jiang Qia was a little bit unaccustomed to such intimacy and couldn't help but step back.
Shang Xinmei's eyes showed some guilt: "Silly child."
Jiang Qia really couldn't stand such corny things.
She was so deeply impressed by what happened during their first meeting that it was difficult for her to accept his sudden change.
Something big must have happened to the Wu family... What exactly happened? Jiang Qia thought absentmindedly, maybe Wu Xinghan, the pig stepfather, had cheated on her, so Shang Xinmei was heartbroken. This was most likely the case.
Jiang Qia took a glass of champagne and drank it in gulps, trying to calm himself down.
When she took the sixth cup, she held the crystal cup in Jiang Qia's hand with one hand, and a low, magnetic voice came: "You can't drink anymore."
Jiang Qia looked up and happened to meet Huo Wenyi's narrow and deep eyes.
She thought she might actually be a little drunk.
Wu Xinghan also came over and smiled ingratiatingly at Shang Xinmei.
Wu Xingcai took the opportunity to chime in: "When he was in school, he loved drinking, skipping school and getting into fights. Haha, even now, he still can't break his drinking habit."
Jiang Qia was instantly stunned by anger and quickly organized words to fight back in his mind.
"Without loving relatives to counsel her, it's easy for a child to do wrong things." Huo Wenyi said calmly, "Don't worry, little aunt. After you marry me, I will discipline you."
Wu Xingcai had just been flirting with Huo Wenyi, but when she heard the word "little sister-in-law", her face twisted. If she remembered correctly, Huo Wenyi was a little older than her, okay?
The other people in the Wu family also looked a little unhappy.
Because Huo Wenyi's words just now clearly meant that the Wu family treated Jiang Qia as an outsider and did not truly love Jiang Qia. Although this was true, but...
The Wu family still wanted to leave a good impression on Huo Wenyi.
Wu Xinghan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Xingcai, what nonsense are you talking about? You always talk nonsense! Qia Qia has been a very well-behaved child since she was young. She never skipped school or had a fight. Qia Qia is the most beloved by our family. Hahaha, isn't it, Xinmei? I remember Qia Qia was very well-behaved when she was young."
Huo Wenyi must have been used to seeing all kinds of people changing their expressions in front of him, so he didn't react much. He pulled Jiang Qia up and said, "Go home."
