Chapter 127 The Huo Family's Little Plan
Chen Zongzhi listened, constantly calculating in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.
Huo Qi is indeed much better than Huo Shan. If Huo Shan did not have Huo Yunzheng, his own son, to rely on, Huo Qi might have become the president of the group today.
There is more to cooperation with him than just marriage. Chen Zongzhi has accumulated a lot of personal connections over the years, and many people want to ask him for help.
However, Mr. Huo once said that as long as Xinru could marry into the Huo family and become the Huo family's granddaughter-in-law, she could own shares in Yunxi Group and become a shareholder.
Huo Yunzheng has let down the Chen family. If Xinru marries someone else from the Huo family, the old man might give her a larger betrothal gift to make up for it.
Moreover, once Huo Qi and his son seize power in the future, Xinru from their family will be the rightful head lady of the family, and she will have a share of the Huo family's property.
However, whether to take a gamble or not still depends on my daughter's opinion. She had just been injured by Huo Yunzheng and was feeling very upset.
Huo Qi was also aware of this. He turned his head and glanced at Huo Jiayuan, who immediately understood.
He is very good at chasing women.
The most important thing is not to be impatient, you must proceed step by step.
"Xinru, I have some tickets for a ballet performance. You can go with your friends to watch it and relax." Huo Jiayuan took the initiative to talk, keeping a sense of proportion.
Chen Xinru glanced at him. She didn't have much interest in Huo Jiayuan. Although he was Huo Qi's son, he was very unreliable and a playboy.
Besides, he is two years younger than her, and Chen Xinru has no feelings for him.
"Thank you."
Chen Xinru's attitude was indifferent, but Huo Jiayuan looked determined to win. He had planned everything long ago.
……
In the evening, Chen Xinru and her two younger sisters were standing at the exit of the performance hall, preparing to call a taxi to pick them up, when a black Panamera drove up.
"Miss Chen, let's go. I'll take you back."
"Why are you here?" Chen Xinru looked at Huo Jiayuan getting out of the car and saw through his intention almost at a glance.
The little sister next to her cast a curious look, "Hey, Xinru, why is it the Fifth Young Master who came to pick you up today?"
Chen Xinru did not explain. The news of Huo Yunzheng's marriage was still a secret to the outside world, and she did not intend to reveal it herself in order to save her face.
"Ladies, please get in the car."
Huo Jiayuan took the initiative to open the passenger door and made a gesture of invitation, giving Chen Xinru enough face.
Her self-esteem satisfied, Chen Xinru did not refuse and got into his car.
After sending the other two girls back first, Huo Jiayuan looked at Chen Xinru on the way and asked, "Was the performance good?"
Chen Xinru said it was okay.
"It's only ten o'clock now. Do you want to find a place to have a drink? Miss Chen has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days, and she needs to find a way to vent. Holding it in is not good for her health."
"I'm a little older than you, you should call me sister."
Huo Jiayuan sneered, "Who cares about age now? Besides, you are so young and talented, there are many people who want to be the son-in-law of your Chen family. As for me, I can't even get a chance, right?"
Huo Jiayuan's deliberate compliments actually pleased Chen Xinru.
Chen Xinru smiled softly and glanced at him, "Didn't we say we were going to have a drink? Let's go."
It just so happened that she also wanted to drink, and since someone was paying for it, there was no reason for her to refuse.
In the bar, the two of them clinked glasses. Huo Jiayuan looked at Chen Xinru with a half-smile, "You are so beautiful, my second brother really doesn't cherish you enough."
As Chen Xinru listened, the only glimmer of light in her eyes dimmed. She didn't love Huo Yunzheng, she just didn't want to give up that position to someone else.
The ladies in the circle don’t know about this yet. If they knew, they would definitely laugh at her.
Chen Xinru had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child.
He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Huo Jiayuan stared at her actions with a smile on his face.
His father said that to deal with Chen Xinru, they would deal with the Chen family. With the help of the Chen family, the highest power in the group would belong to them, father and son.
Huo Yunzheng disobeyed the old man, and there would always be a gap between the two of them. What's more, the feud between the old man and the Jing family could not be easily resolved. If Huo Yunzheng remained stubborn, he would lose the old man's favor sooner or later.
He is asking for trouble.
Whatever, with his shabby body and the poison, he wouldn't live for many years anyway.
When Huo Yunzheng is completely defeated and the Chen family helps him, the old man will have to hand over the power of the group to them, and then they will have the final say in the Huo family.
Huo Jiayuan asked the bartender to fill Chen Xinru's glass with wine, and the two exchanged glances.
This wine was specially made for her.
In the hotel, with Chen Xinru who was already drunk, Huo Jiayuan placed a camera facing the bed.
It's no wonder that he is cruel. If he has some leverage in his hands, he can better control the Chen family.
Looking at the unconscious woman lying on the bed, Huo Jiayuan smiled smugly and undressed her.
……
Qiao Chuchu completed the resignation procedures and fed a few big cats in the zoo for the last time.
I sat there blankly through the glass window, watching them eat in the inner house.
Qiao Chuchu suddenly felt a little sad. She had been doing this job for the past few years. Dealing with animals was much easier than dealing with people.
She was reluctant to leave suddenly.
But life is still long, and she also wants to explore other possibilities.
Qiao Chuchu packed her water cup, pillow and some personal belongings in a box and put it in the car.
Xu Ke also helped her move things, and the two of them made an appointment to pick up Zi Yan and go out to eat at a restaurant later.
"Chu Chu, how are things going between you and Huo Yunzheng? Have you forgiven him?" Xu Ke asked.
Qiao Chuchu was driving with a calm expression.
"It's not a question of forgiveness or not. Everyone makes mistakes. Apart from hiding his identity, he has done nothing wrong to me in other aspects."
When Xu Ke heard this, he knew that Qiao Chuchu no longer cared.
What she said made sense. She had seen how Huo Yunzheng treated Chu Chu over the past few months. There was almost nothing wrong with that man.
As he said, he chose to conceal it because he was worried that the relationship between the two families would become an obstacle between them.
He actually wanted to maintain this marriage.
There's no need to make a big deal out of it. They both love each other. How can people in love separate easily?
However, Xu Ke still felt a little sorry for her friend. If the Huo family looked down on their Chu Chu, and anyone dared to bully their Chu Chu, she would go straight to Jing City to kill them no matter who they were.
Anyway, her life is worth some money. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Chu Chu has helped her a lot in the past. For Chu Chu, she can give up anything!
"So when are you going back to Beijing?"
