Huo Ziqi was drinking in the room. The glass on the table was empty. He shook the bottle and ordered his servants to prepare another bottle.
When the servant came back, he frowned: "It's just a drink, why did it take so long?"
He looked up and was stunned, then respectfully said: "Father."
Mr. Huo looked at him like a drunkard, frowned in disgust, and then said: "You want to make me mad, right? It's just that you can't do anything. Now it's like a puddle of mud. Is this the life you want?"
He threw the wine bottle on the table with a bang and looked ugly.
Huo Ziqi relaxed for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!"
He said: "I'm not drunk, I'm just relieving my worries."
Mr. Huo looked at him deeply and asked, "Did you say anything to Ting Yun?"
Huo Ziqi raised his head and said seriously: "I'm just saying that I was the one who wanted to kill Tang Jiao."
After a pause, he said: "In fact, it was my people who did it, wasn't it?"
He lowered his eyes and said nothing else.
Mr. Huo didn't speak. He seemed to be thinking for a while before he spoke: "I admit that it was wrong for me to use your people to kill Tang Jiao in private. But I have already dealt with it. Ting Yun has no way of knowing anything. Now you can If he puts his arms around you, do you think he will believe it?"
He really didn't like to see his son. He said: "Just think about it, will he believe it if you say this? Maybe it will make him think that I did it. Are these the effects you want? Huo Ziqi, why didn’t I know you were so vicious?”
Ziqi raised his head and looked at his father. His father had never been shy about giving him the most vicious speculations, and that was still the case now.
He took a deep breath and said: "I admitted everything. The man who killed Tang Jiao was mine. Why didn't he believe it? He was already dead, so who knew it was you who used my manpower? Father, What you say now really makes me don’t know what to say.”
The father and son stood together and said nothing.
After a long while, Mr. Huo said, "If you drink less and use your brain more, I won't complain so much."
He calmed down, patted Huo Ziqi's shoulder, and advised, "I'm going to drink your brains out."
Although these words were not so thoughtful, Huo Ziqi suddenly felt inexplicably warm.
He said: "Father, don't worry, I will be fine."
Mr. Huo sat down and poured himself a glass. He said, "Actually, the purpose of killing Tang Jiao was to give Ting Yun a chance to get in touch with Miss Chu. But now it seems that this was a bad move."
Huo Ziqi said: "Father, don't be too uncomfortable. If I had known in advance, I would have stopped you. In fact, Tang Jiao is quite good, and although the Chu family is capable, Miss Chu herself is a weakling. It's too much of a hindrance." There are many children in the Chu family, so it may not be so appropriate after all. But Tang Jiao is different, Tang Jiao is very capable."
Speaking of this, Huo Ziqi's expression softened a bit.
"Although Tang Jiao's family background is far worse than Miss Chu's, I know that she is very capable and awesome. You have seen it so many times, no matter who wants to kill her, who succeeds? The seventh child was injured, and it was she who saved the life."
Mr. Huo frowned slightly.
Huo Ziqi said: "Even Lao Ba said that Tang Jiao's ability to make money definitely exceeds his. In fact, Wen Xiang and the newspaper office are not big money-making projects, but do you know how much she earns? Lao Qi found Tang Jiao, Definitely holding a golden baby.”
For some reason, Mr. Huo felt that Huo Ziqi's tone when he mentioned Tang Jiao was wrong. He looked at Huo Ziqi and asked coldly: "Don't tell me that you are interested in her."
Huo Ziqi lowered his head and drained his glass and said, "No one has ever said that."
Mr. Huo said, "Just because no one has said it doesn't mean it's not true."
He looked at Huo Ziqi seriously and asked again: "Anyway, there are no other people here. You should tell me the truth. What do you think?"
Huo Ziqi lowered his head: "It's nothing."
It's just that his answer was too quick and too light, and there was no sincerity in his tone. Mr. Huo suddenly understood.
He was silent for a while and then said, "Huo Ziqi, you are my son."
He chuckled and said, "You think you can hide it from others, and you can hide it from me?"
Huo Ziqi said nothing and kept his head down while drinking.
Mr. Huo suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it."
He pondered for a while and then said: "You took the initiative to admit that you killed Tang Jiao, was it really to help me stop the matter, or was it to make Tang Jiao hate you! Break up with the couple completely, and then you don't need to see Tang Jiao again?"
At this point, Mr. Huo felt ridiculous.
His two biological sons and one adopted son actually liked Tang Jiao.
Without exception.
Thinking about it, I don't know what to say.
Thinking about their older generation, I felt inexplicably that there was such a inheritance in their family. Both he and his eldest brother liked his sister-in-law. And now both Ziqi and Tingyun like Tang Jiao
He fell silent for a while and said seriously: "No matter what, I don't want you to ruin the relationship between them."
Huo Ziqi raised his head and said seriously: "I will never be able to do such a thing."
He said calmly: "Lao Qi and I grew up together in Hongmen. We have faced countless lives and deaths together. No matter what, there is no need for me to take Tang Jiao away."
This was an indirect admission that he liked Tang Jiao.
Mr. Huo looked at him for a moment and said, "After all, you should know what to do."
After that, he said: "I don't want you to make everyone sad."
Huo Ziqi said, "I know."
After saying that, Mr. Huo swallowed what he was about to say, stood up and said, "I'll leave first, you can rest."
Huo Ziqi stood up and sent the person away. He looked at the situation in front of him, smiled vaguely, and said to himself: "I like Tang Jiao? Haha!"
He drained the bottle of wine.
Murmured: "You really don't let me down."
He lowered his eyes and said, "You really don't want to..."
No more words.
Mr. Huo returned to the study and told the housekeeper: "Keep an eye on Ziqi."
When the housekeeper replied, he asked again: "Has mother rested?"
The housekeeper said: "Not yet, I said I had tea at the young master's place in the afternoon and couldn't sleep."
Mr. Huo said, "I'll go sit over there."
He got up and went to the main room. Sandalwood was burning in the main room and the smell in the room was pleasant.
"Mother."
Mrs. Huo was listening to her servant reading the newspaper. When she saw him arriving, she asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Mr. Huo said: "It's nothing. I heard that you haven't slept. Come and sit for a while."
He smiled: "What are you looking at?"
Mrs. Huo said: "The love story between Tang Jiao and the others in the newspaper is quite good. The trendy rich young man and the motivated poor girl. It turns out that young people like this now."
Mr. Huo smiled: "I didn't expect you to be able to see it."
Mrs. Huo said: "What can't I see? As I get older, I am always bored. It might not be bad to find something to do."
She waved her hand, sent the people around her away, and said, "You're not really here to chat with me, are you?"
Mr. Huo said: "That's not true!"
Mrs. Huo smiled: "I knew you were not in such a character to come and chat with me late at night."
She was used to it and said, "Just tell me what you have to say."
Mr. Huo said, "It's about Zi Qi."
When Huo Ziqi was mentioned, Mrs. Huo's disgust was palpable. She said, "If it's not very important, just handle it yourself. I don't want to know about him."
Mr. Huo said, "Is it a very important thing that he likes Tang Jiao?"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face turned cold, and she said: "This bitch is really shameless. Did he tell you?"
Mr. Huo said, "Absolutely. I saw it, so I asked him."
Mrs. Huo fell silent for a while, then she said: "Get rid of him."
She didn't want to leave any hidden danger for Ting Yun.
She said: "Since he has this intention, then get rid of him. I don't want to see him again."
Speaking of this person, the old lady never softened her heart.
Without his mother, her niece would not have died, and her son would not have been sterilized. How could a son born from such a vicious woman be a good thing
She said: "When I see him, I will think of his damn mother."
Mr. Huo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said yes.
He said: "What about the Chu family's affairs...?"
Old lady: "Don't worry about this. I have my own way. Ting Yun is right. To solve one problem, you have to create more trouble for them. Although I know he has his own way, I have thought about it. , in fact, we don’t necessarily have to sit still and wait for death.”
Mr. Huo nodded and smiled: "If mother takes action, I don't have to worry about anything."
The old lady said meaningfully: "Okay, stop flattering me. Don't I still know you?"
She waved her hand and said, "Go down."
Mr. Huo said, "Okay."
He stood up and said, "I will deal with Zi Qi's matter after Ting Yun leaves."
The old lady smiled: "No need, doesn't this mean that the Chu family hates our family? It just so happens... If their family really takes action against our family, it wouldn't be unexpected, right?"
Mr. Huo immediately understood: "You mean to do it like the Chu family did? Let everyone think that the Chu family hated our family and killed Ziqi?"
The old lady smiled meaningfully and nodded on the edge of the bed...
"You should know how to do it, right?"
Mr. Huo said calmly: "That's good. Killing two birds with one stone also allows us to stand on the commanding heights against the Chu family."
