Chapter 138 Open to play
Shi Rong was amused by his righteous appearance and coughed twice.
"Brother, are you childish? If I really gave her an injection to send her away, I would actually be helping Huo Yan. He's trying to hurt me, and I'm helping him? Then I'd be really sick."
Until this moment, Shi Yang still didn't understand the implicit meaning of Shi Rong's words.
But the man opposite understood. She was indeed the woman that Huo Jiuzhou had his eyes on. In terms of resourcefulness, she was no less resourceful than him, an "old fox" who had been in the business world for many years.
"Brother, what does sister-in-law mean? Why don't I understand?"
When Huo Qiye saw that his elder brother beside him suddenly looked relieved, he knew that this man had guessed the reason why Shi Rong did this.
Huo Jiuzhou picked up the wine bowl beside him and took a sip with a graceful and elegant posture.
"You'll find out if you listen."
"Oh."
……
On the other end, Shi Rong put down his empty wine bowl and continued to answer Shi Yang's questions.
"She's such a crucial figure in the whole plan, I certainly can't let her die. If she dies, I'll lose all my leverage. How can I then let Huo Yan take the initiative to negotiate with me at this critical moment and lure him into a trap?"
"The best revenge for the Huo family is Zheng Yuyan's well-being. The more she commits suicide, the more headaches Huo Yuyan suffers, and the happier I am. In short, if I don't live well, then no one else can live well."
Shi Yang understood, but there was still one thing he couldn't figure out.
"But you're not at the Huo family. How can you let Zheng Yuyan follow your ideas and continue to commit suicide?"
Shi Rong smiled, and her beautiful eyes immediately looked towards Huo Yiyan, who was sitting at the table across from her and was wearing a light golden-beige, bare-shoulder, long-sleeved evening gown.
Shi Rong picked up the wine bowl and saluted in her direction. Huo Yiyan understood and immediately picked up the wine in the bowl. The two women smiled at each other and toasted.
Shi Yang understood again.
"No way? You can even bribe a difficult woman like Huo Yiyan?"
Shi Rong rolled his eyes, quite speechless.
"What do you mean by bribery? Can you please not say such harsh words? Is it possible that we are good friends? Just like me and Mingxing and the others?"
Shi Yang was simply stunned.
"Impossible! How many friends have you had since you were a child? How could I not know?"
Shi Rong laughed out of anger on the spot.
"But I'm a killer. Yiyan and I met while on a mission abroad."
Oh, right. Shi Yang finally realized it belatedly. Oh, that's not right. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
"So, since you first entered the Huo family's Lanting, she knew you were the Ying family's legitimate daughter?"
Shi Rong nodded and admitted it straightforwardly.
"Ah."
Shi Yang was shocked again.
"She knew you were plotting against her grandfather, but she still helped you? Could she be someone else's undercover agent planted in the Huo family?"
Tsk…
Shi Rong got angry and hit him on the back.
"Don't talk nonsense! She is the real second daughter of the Huo family. Do you need me to show you a DNA test report of her and her parents?"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Shi Yang quickly covered his thin lips with his long fingers.
"She'll help me because she knows full well that I won't do anything to harm the Huo family. At most, I'll just compete with her grandfather and her eldest brother in a battle of wits and courage. If the two families really go to war, do you think she's stupid? Will she still stand by me?"
After Shi Rong finished explaining everything that was happening, he turned around and continued what he had just said.
"With Yiyan tipping me off, I can keep up to date with Zheng Yuyan's daily life in the Huo family's Lanting. Occasionally, I can ask her to help fan the flames or stir up trouble. Isn't that easy?"
"This is why Huo Yan couldn't stand Zheng Yuyan any more and was anxious to find someone to help him solve this problem. Also, I learned from Yi Yan that the person he wanted Huo Jiuzhou to marry back to the Huo family's main house was the Ying family's legitimate daughter. So, I have to stay by his side until the five-year period is up."
Shi Rong raised the corners of his charming mouth, unable to suppress the urge to laugh.
"Don't you think this is funny? If he could set up a trap and catch the cicada, why can't I set up a trap within the trap and catch the oriole behind?"
Shi Yang now completely understood his younger sister's amazing plan. He couldn't help but raise his hands and applaud Shi Rong.
"Ying Shirong, you're awesome! This is the first time I've discovered how insidious you are, but I really like you."
"The Ying family's efforts in you over the years have been truly unwavering. How could you even think of such a despicable trick? So, in your later years, even though you knew I was no longer in the Huo family's hands, you still endured the repeated torture and humiliation from Huo Jiuzhou, just to wait until today?"
Shi Rong sneered. Instead of answering Shi Yang's question, he asked a question in return.
"Insidious? What do you mean by insidious?"
She put away her smile and put down the empty wine bowl.
"Sincerity can't be exchanged for sincerity, so let's just have fun!"
What a great way to have fun!
Huo Jiuzhou's handsome face at this moment showed a rare expression of admiration and desolation.
Very good, she really is in tune with the times!
It was Ying Shirong who was so proud and unyielding 5 years ago!
No one can make her give up her pride, just as she said to Zheng Yuyan.
She was born noble, not humble at all!
The man was not angry at her past, her concealment of the truth from him, and her schemes against Huo Yan. Instead, he felt sad for the last words she said.
Yes, hadn't she given her true heart to him without reservation since the night she parted with him six years ago?
It was just that he had let her down by the way he thought he could protect her.
Just as she said.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
The Huo family always arrogantly believed that the strategies they came up with were the most unbreakable strategies in the world.
Little do we know that there is always someone better than you.
……
"Xiao Er, what are you two talking about? I saw you guys chattering non-stop since just now."
Feng Qingning saw that the brother and sister's whispers had finally stopped at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
Shi Rong couldn't lie, so he could only use his elbow to nudge Shi Yang beside him, signaling him to speak for him.
The man who was eating was caught red-handed by her and was startled, but he understood what she meant. He swallowed the food in his mouth in a few seconds and responded quickly.
"Grandma, Rong'er and I were discussing the Ying family's annual banquet at the end of the year. Didn't you say that our Dongcheng Ying family would also hold an annual banquet this year?"
Hearing him say this, Feng Qingning didn't think much of it. The brother and sister spoke in a low voice to begin with, and in the center of the venue, the continuous sound of opera drums was loud, so it was normal that ordinary people couldn't hear it.
"Is that so? Rong'er is really thoughtful. There are still two months before the Ying family banquet, and you've already started preparing? Thank you for your hard work, Young Master of the Ying family."
