"You have helped our Zhu family so much, so you must not refuse."
"By the way, remember to tell Brother Jinhang and ask him to come with you when the time comes. There will be so many people."
The last sentence is the key point.
Su Mi felt her eardrums buzzing: "Ah, I don't know if he is free... Why don't you ask him yourself."
Zhu Jiaojiao's excitement stopped instantly and her steps slowed down:
"If he is willing to answer my call, what else can we talk about? In the past few days, I have gone to his company or Su's house to find him, but he has not seen me either. He is probably under strict control by his fiancée."
Su Mi didn't understand: "Fiancée?!"
Huo Shenxiu, who usually doesn't gossip much, glanced over at this moment.
Um?
Su Jinhang has a fiancée?
Is it because he has amnesia that he can't remember this whole thing?
Didn’t it mean that this ex-brother-in-law is a bachelor for ten thousand years and the company is his wife?
Zhu Jiaojiao muttered: "Yeah, I really don't understand how your brother could watch a movie about a girl who hasn't developed yet, and she's so fierce. That day in Huayuan, he pointed at my fierceness, tut tut...
How could Brother Jinhang, who is such a calm and gentle person, like that kind of girl? Is this so-called fiancée decided by your parents? Brother Jinhang was also forced to do so, right?"
Su Mi's mind flashed and she suddenly understood something: "Are you talking about Zhao Xige?"
"I don't know her name. She's the girl you met at Huayuan for dinner that day. She looks like a middle school girl."
Su Mi suddenly took a breath.
It seems that Zhu Jiaojiao ran away to Huayuan, and in order to deal with her, Su Jinhang and Zhao Xige pretended to be an unmarried couple.
But then why did the two of them break up so unhappy that they didn't even say a word?
In short, now I know why my brother and Xiaoxi have a strange relationship. It turns out that the two of them had such a quarrel.
Seeing that Su Mi had not spoken for a long time, Zhu Jiaojiao was not stupid. She noticed something and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes: "What's wrong? Is that girl not your brother's fiancée at all? She couldn't have lied to me, right?"
Su Mi couldn't harm her brother, so she could only say: "Oh, they are an unmarried couple... and they are engaged."
The hope in Zhu Jiaojiao's eyes disappeared, but she was still mumbling: "It's obvious that she is not worthy. Miss Su, please advise your brother to broaden his horizons, that kind of hairy girl is not suitable for him at all!"
…
After getting in the car, Su Mi finally got rid of Zhu Jiaojiao's ear-piercing noise.
I can finally understand Su Jinhang’s difficulties.
While driving, Huo Shenxiu glanced at her relieved look from the corner of his eye:
"When the Gao Ming Dongchuang incident happened, Zhu Shiguang will probably rush back to Country M to deal with the follow-up. He should take Zhu Jiaojiao and leave immediately."
She breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
He looked forward, his expression not changing much at first glance, but his eyes became much deeper:
"Did he do anything to you in the hotel just now?"
I just wanted to ask her.
But he was busy taking her to the guild hall to expose Gao Zheng, so he had no time.
Su Mi shook her head: "He has such evil intentions but he doesn't have the chance."
His expression was still as calm as a floating cloud, without any ups and downs, but there was a hint of the storm in his eyes, and his tone was a little colder:
"Knowing that his background is dirty and not as innocent as he appears, he shouldn't have the courage. This time it was a fluke. What if he wasn't so lucky?"
Seeing what he said, Su Mi was still inexplicably happy. She twirled her hair with her fingers and leaned against the passenger seat: "Are you worried about me?"
There was sarcasm on the man's thin lips: "Xiao Subao is still young, and I don't want him to lose his biological mother."
Su Mi pouted her lips: "Then it's not so serious..."
"You have also checked Gao Ming's background yourself. Some of the owners of small companies he acquired even died unexpectedly for no apparent reason. Do you think it is serious enough?"
Su Mi was so blessed that she never mentioned these details to him!
She sat up straight and looked at him:
"Have you known for a long time that Gao Zong's background is not clean?"
Huo Shenxiu drove with a calm expression and said nothing.
Su Mi understood: "You...have really known for a long time that Gao Zang is different from what he appears? Is he a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
No wonder she hinted to him that Gao Ming was not a good person and hoped that he would check it out. His reaction was unusually calm.
It’s like I already knew it!
He finally said this time: "Yeah."
"...When did you know? How did you know?"
He said:
"Those societies that Gao Ming was in contact with were also in contact with Long Dinghao's Qinglong Society. Long Dinghao mentioned it to me two years ago."
"At that time, I realized that this relative that Zhu Shiguang had carefully cultivated was not as simple as he appeared. He had many tricks and ambitions in private. He had also been coveting the Zhu family's company."
Su Mi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you just pretended that you didn't know?"
Huo Shenxiu asked: "Why should I pretend to know?"
Su Mi was relieved.
Quite true.
This is his temperament.
He is not a kind, selfless, and helpful philanthropist.
This man is not interested in doing business without profit, and everything he does needs to be profitable.
He has always been an almost ruthless capitalist who has nothing to do with himself.
It's not like Gao Ji has provoked him and hasn't touched his cake for the time being. Is it none of his business to cause trouble in Zhu's company?
Even if Zhu Shiguang is his father's old friend and his business partner, he may be killed by the white-eyed wolf around him, and it has nothing to do with him.
He didn't bother to expose it at all, let alone interfere with other people's family affairs.
Before his fate was changed, before his death, he had a slightly more kind temperament and was not so unkind in official matters.
But now, his fate has changed. He has recovered from his illness, but his temperament is still cold-blooded and ruthless.
She didn't say anything else, but thought of something else: "You didn't let me have more contact with Gao Yi, and you even took the initiative to delete his WeChat for me. Is it just because you already knew that Gao Yi was not a kind person? Or because..."
Jealous.
She was quite happy originally. This at least proved that he was not so indifferent to her, right?
But now it seems that maybe he just knew that Gao Zong had a dark background?
Not jealous?
Huo Shenxiu said nothing, only turned the steering wheel quietly and turned: "What did Zhu Jiaojiao mean when he said your brother's fiancée just now? Your brother's fiancée is the sister of the fourth young master of the Zhao family?"
She was slightly disappointed when she saw him change the subject.
Is this because she doesn't want to hurt her self-esteem, so she avoids the topic?
She cheered up: "No. I guess the two of them are pretending to be an unmarried couple to coax Zhu Jiaojiao. I'll ask another time."
Next, there was no words for a moment, and the car fell into silence.
He could see her disappointment at not getting a reply just now.
Because he didn't know how to answer this question.
He didn't know whether he prevented Gao Ming from approaching her because he was jealous, or because he just knew Gao Ming was not a kind person.
If it's because of jealousy, then what does it count?
He was obviously very unfamiliar with this woman, not even a single hair of hers was familiar to him.
Why should he be jealous of her?
Could it be that deep down in my heart, there are still some residual feelings for this woman who I have completely forgotten?
