Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 611: Don’t Be Love-Struck

"President Xie."

Ning Yuan, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at the grape juice stains on his shirt and the inexplicable smile on his face, and couldn’t help but ask.

"What exactly happened between you two in the back? Why do you look so disheveled?"

Ning Yuan’s eyes were full of mischief, "Could it have progressed so quickly?"

"Drive home." Xie Xubai’s gaze was as calm as water. "Cancel my outings for tomorrow, and move all meetings to the daytime."

"You’re not going out for social events? What’s going on?"

Ning Yuan didn’t understand what he was playing at, but he was sure it had something to do with Huo Sijiao.

He muttered, "I always said rekindling old flames is terrifying, and you’ll end up with no principles at all."

He stepped on the gas and left the Huo Family Garden Villa.

...

In the living room.

Sun Weimeng looked at Huo Sijiao with great curiosity.

"Your face is redder than a monkey’s butt. What exactly did you do with Xie Xubai? Why not just give up on that scumbag Shen Xuanzhi and be with Xie Xubai? You two look particularly well-matched, just like a couple."

Huo Sijiao’s eyes sparkled, and she patted her cheeks fiercely, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? It’s just the car heater made me hot. Instead of minding my business, hurry up and check the beauty salon’s design. We need to open up while it’s still hot."

"Alright."

Sun Weimeng nodded, "As long as you’re not lovestruck."

"Can’t be bothered to talk to you, I’m going back to take off my makeup."

Huo Sijiao quickly left the living room, leaving Sun Weimeng there pondering.

In the master bedroom on the second floor.

The room was dimly lit, with no lights on.

The air seemed to be tinged with a faint smell of alcohol, as Huo Xingzhou sat by the bed, his shadow stretched out long under the moonlight.

On the big bed, Qiao Xi tightly closed her eyes, breathing softly.

She had fallen asleep in the car, and Huo Xingzhou had carried her back to the room.

She frowned, seeming to sleep uncomfortably, her lips moving.

It seemed like she was saying something, but it was indistinct.

Knock, knock.

A gentle knocking sound came from the door.

Huo Xingzhou sat for a while before getting up and leaving the room, missing the name she uttered.

He opened the door, the hallway lights were dim, and Old Chen stood respectfully to one side.

"Young Master, the task you entrusted to me is done."

Huo Xingzhou lowered his gaze slightly and said, "Keep a close eye on Lu Yingxue’s news, see how badly she’s hurt. Also, continue to monitor Mr. Cheng’s whereabouts, report any signs to me immediately."

Cheng Han has been missing for too long, can a living person really leave no trace at all?

There’s something strange about this whole thing.

"Understood, Young Master."

Old Chen also found it odd; could Mr. Cheng fly into the sky or disappear underground?

None of his good brothers could find a trace.

Old Chen curiously remarked, "With such chaos tonight, I wonder how Young Master Zhong will cope. That Old Master Zhong will definitely be furious, might even cancel his candidate status, and then the Zhong Family will fall to Zhong Lingxiao."

"Him?"

Huo Xingzhou let slip a faint smile, "I don’t believe he acts solely on impulse; he must have other plans."

...

The Zhong Family old residence.

The place was brightly lit.

The servants serving tea and water didn’t dare make a sound, and their footsteps were feather-light.

Old Master Zhong sat at the head, expressionless as he looked at the main entrance. Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Hongfei, father and son, stood by his side, exchanging calculating and smug glances.

The Old Master originally had high hopes for Zhong Yi, but after tonight’s uproar, he would certainly be disappointed.

"Hongfei."

The Old Master’s voice was aged yet deep.

Zhong Hongfei quickly stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders?"

"Go back to your villa, stop standing here and annoying me." Old Master Zhong specifically dismissed him, having no expectations for Zhong Hongfei among the many in the Zhong Family.

He was just an empty pompous shell.

Zhong Hongfei’s smile froze and he said, "Old Master, I was just..."

"Butler, see the guest out." The Old Master was merciless.

"I’ll leave then."

Zhong Hongfei said defiantly, "I’ll come visit you next time."

Old Master’s eyes remained impassive, his back straight as a rod. Sitting there, he was like the sternest of Buddhas, even Zhong Lingxiao didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

As he returned home, he used artistic language to embellish what Zhong Yi did at the engagement party, all the while feigning "don’t blame the younger brother," yet fanning the Old Master’s anger.

Exuding the flavor of a green tea schemer.

Old Master Zhong tapped his cane, which made a light tapping sound on the ground.

"Go see if Zhong Yi has returned."

"Yes, Old Master."

Just as the words fell, the roar of a car engine was heard outside.

A servant peeked outside for a moment, then rushed to the Old Master’s side, saying, "It’s the young master’s car."

Old Master Zhong let out a cold laugh.

Zhong Lingxiao suppressed the upward curl of his lips, the Old Master usually scolded vehemently, indicating the matter was not yet severe. But this calm, cold anger tonight was rarely seen; he was truly furious.

Zhong Yi was done for. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

At the main entrance.

Zhong Yi quickly walked up to the Old Master.

Without any hesitation, he knelt directly in front of the Old Master in front of everyone. Even Zhong Lingxiao was taken aback, not expecting Zhong Yi to readily give up his pride.

Isn’t a man’s dignity of utmost importance to him?

"Old Master."

Zhong Yi knelt, spine straight.

His jade-like face was calm, his eyes clear and without hesitation.

Old Master Zhong scoffed, "You knelt quickly enough, so it seems you know where you went wrong?"

Zhong Yi spoke clearly, his tone steady, "I was careless and fell into a villain’s trap, causing such a disturbance at the engagement party, bringing shame to both the Lu and Zhong Families, and tarnishing Miss Ye’s reputation. I also made my brother worry, fearing for my safety and insisting on finding me."

"So you’re implying it was Lingxiao’s fault?"

Old Master Zhong asked flatly, with no hint of anger on his face.

Zhong Lingxiao hurried to explain, "I saw your assistant and Miss Lu looking for you, afraid something had happened to you, that’s why I mobilized people to find you. If I had known you were with Ye Ying... I would never have barged in, ruining your reputation wouldn’t benefit the Zhong Family at all."

But it would benefit his effort to seize the heir’s position.

Zhong Yi looked up at Zhong Lingxiao, "Then I must thank my brother for his concern. Before coming home, I conducted an urgent drug test, and the report has already been sent to the Old Master. I wonder if, throughout the night, my brother has found any clue about the true culprit?"

Zhong Lingxiao hesitated to speak but then saw the Old Master gesture.

The Zhong Family’s butler led someone inside, and Zhong Lingxiao’s expression froze instantly.
