Chapter 770: Ho Xi Tea Ceremony: Does Your Brother Really No

r son has high standards and keeps his eyes on only one."Mrs. Huo looked again at her son in the newspaper.Handsome, sexy...That face is oozing with sex appeal!What's the use, isn't it just being a ba...Huo Xi drove and arrived at Zhang Chongguang's villa.

It was already evening.

On a gloomy day, a layer of dusk and dust hung in the air between heaven and earth, giving it a somewhat ethereal and indistinct appearance.

The villa was huge, and the gatekeeper actually recognized her. He didn't say a word and opened the gate for her, even giving her a silent thumbs-up. Huo Xi guessed that he must have served the elderly person before.

She smiled, drove the car into the villa, and circled around a fountain before stopping in the parking lot.

The rain has been persistent.

It's really not a good day to go out, nor is it suitable to please others, but Huo Xi still chose to come over and pick up Zhang Chongguang in this kind of weather. Of course, she also knew he wouldn't leave with her.

It didn't matter; her purpose was simply to let him know.

When Huo Xi got out of the car, she didn't bring an umbrella. Her clothes quickly became soaked. A familiar maid came up to her and held an umbrella for her, saying rather awkwardly: "Madam, you should go back!"

She looked in the direction of the villa and whispered, "Where is Miss He!"

Miss He......

Ho Xi guessed it was He Lu, she wasn't surprised but a little bit bothered. If it were the old Ho Xi, she would have turned and left, but if she truly wanted something, let alone one He Lu, ten He Lus wouldn't stop her.

"Where is he" he asked with a smile.

The maid, seeing her insistence, could only lead her into the villa, saying as she walked, “Mr. is upstairs reading! It's raining right now, and his leg hurts a bit.”

Huo Xi casually smiled, and then saw He Lu standing in the villa hall.

He Lu stood like a mistress, sizing up Huo Xi.

The maid, puzzled and embarrassed, said: "Miss He, Madam has come to see Mr."

He Lu remained silent for a while, staring intently at Huo Xi before finally addressing the maid. "You go down first! I'll attend to Mr. Huo... And by the way, she's already divorced from Mr. Zhang, so she isn't your Madam."

Although the maid feared her, she didn't take kindly to this.

She retorted, “People say that a couple who sleeps together owe each other a hundred days of kindness. Besides, your husband and wife have raised three children! This is a relationship that’s connected by bone and sinew. Furthermore, Miss He hasn't even entered the family yet!”

Helu felt a pang of displeasure.

Ho Xi was quite generous. He told the servants, "Go and brew me a cup of flower tea."

The servant replied smoothly, "Right away, I'll brew you your favorite pine needles tea."

Their familiar attitude made He Lu quite unhappy.

This time, although Zhang Chongguang hired her to act, it wasn't because he had genuine feelings for her. However, she thought that as long as she could get close to Zhang Chongguang, she would still have a chance to marry into a wealthy family.

He Lu didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the servant left, she sneered at Huo Xi: “Zhang Chongguang doesn’t want to see you! Why bother embarrassing yourself! Mr. Huo is a well-known and respected lawyer. As a woman, constantly chasing after men isn’t a good look. I think it wouldn’t be a good story to spread either!”

Ho-xi sat down on the sofa, flicking her damp, long hair.

She's a lawyer, so naturally He Lu couldn't get the better of her here. She let out another cold laugh: "If he wanted to see you, he would have come downstairs by now. The fact that he doesn't want to see you means he just doesn't want to be with you anymore. Don't you see this yet Lawyer Huo, actually, you shouldn't be too confident. Love fades with time. No one will love someone forever."

At this time, the servant brought tea and flowers.

Huo Xi didn't drink, she smiled faintly and said: "You are right, no one loves someone forever! But Miss He, if Zhang Chongguang loved you, he would have given you a name long ago, wouldn't he You don't need to...hold the power of a mistress while not being married, making me seem like a third party."

Ho Lu's face turned red. She wanted to retort, but she couldn't utter a word.

The maid nearly choked with laughter.

That's the way it should be, shut her down!

Hosei didn't intend to stay long. She took the towel from the maid and wiped her face, then said softly, "Tell him I came by. Let him know it wouldn't be convenient for me to come again next time."

The maid was moved beyond words.

Huo Xi had already risen to his feet and was walking towards the door, showing no desire to fight on.

"A furious voice came from behind, "He won't change his mind. He doesn't love you anymore."

Ho Xi's body stiffened slightly.

After a moment, her voice came to him softly: "How much did Zhang Chongguang pay you"

He Lu's face was pale.

Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but Huo Xi had already left the villa. The sound of a car engine came from the yard, getting gradually fainter.

……

Hoxie left.

Zhang Chongguang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, silently watching as the small car disappeared from sight.

He Lu came back to report.

As I pushed open the door to the study, I saw a copy of "Willpower" lying haphazardly on the sofa. The book's owner stood by the window, lost in thought.

In fact, she knew he was thinking about Hsi.

This made He Lu very uncomfortable. She walked over lightly and called out softly behind him, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chongguang remained silent.

Ho Lu couldn't help but speak: "Since you don't love her anymore, you shouldn't let her appear in your world. For example, change the doorman and the maid, so she can't get close to you."

After that, her chest heaved.

There was a hint of regret, but mostly it was impulse that caused her to blurt out, "Compared to her, I, being single and childless, am actually more suitable to take care of you."

This time, Zhang Chongguang spoke.

“You’re saying you’d be better suited to care for the disabled”

He Lu's eyes were filled with tears: "I like you."

"Like, me..."

Zhang Chongguang repeated those three words slowly, with a mocking tone. He retorted, "Is it because you like me or my money Helu... I hired you to help me keep Huo Xi away, not to treat me like an idiot."

Women like her are in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, in city B.

Perhaps he would still have glanced at it.

But ever since Songyun, he wouldn't even look at these women. Even after returning to being single, he didn't even have the interest in playing around with them.

He sneered, “You got to where you are today, it must have taken a lot of effort! You wouldn't want to offend someone and suddenly find yourself unable to make it in the industry, or even in City B, would you”

These words wounded He Lu's pride.

She was a beautiful woman, and even though she hadn't climbed the social ladder, every man who came into contact with her was willing to shower her with sweet words. No one had ever treated her like that before.

Zhang Chongguang hit the nail on the head: “That’s because you can sleep with them.”

He Lu was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it. She didn't expect Zhang Chongguang to know everything about her past.

"Zhang Chongguang, then why leave me behind"

Zhang Chongguang's slender fingers gently brushed the curtains. The dark curtains, like Huo Xi's hair, soaked by the rain, were beautifully hazy.

After a long silence, he softly said: "For no reason, just because you are no different from anyone else."

It's just random.

……

After saying all that, he asked He Lu to leave. He hired her to do work for him but didn't live in the same building.

He Lu's dormitory is in a row of houses at the back.

He lived with the servants.

After the commotion died down, Zhang Chongguang turned his gaze back to the window... A single drop of water trickled down from the eaves, glistening in the light.

He made up his mind to sever ties with Huo Xi completely.

He refused to see her, refused to let her into his world. And Hoxie didn't insist on seeing him either. She just came often, sometimes bringing him a book she had read, sometimes two portions of beef dumplings made by hand by Huo Shaoting. One was boiled and the other pan-fried – Zhang Chongguang's favorite since he was a child, full of delicious beef filling.

When early autumn quietly arrived, Huo Xi brought Zhang Chongguang a sweater.

The items are hand-woven by Wen Man.

A deep brown turtleneck sweater, both stylish and warm, is perfect for wearing at home.

Ho Xi just followed the man leisurely, sometimes bumping into He Lu who would tease her. But deep down, He Lu envied Ho Xi's determination.

Because Hoshi is certain that Zhang Chongguang loves her, that's why she dares to pester him like this!

Zhang Chongguang refused Huo Xi, but he didn't refuse those things. He would secretly eat all the beef dumplings and quietly put on that sweater to read the books Huo Xi sent him at night.

In some places, she made annotations that turned out to be love words.

Zhang Chongguang, despite his age, sometimes blushed suddenly.

He suddenly slammed the book shut, feeling he could not go on like this. If he continued, Huo Xi would sooner or later get the upper hand and force him to surrender.

Late at night, he took his phone to call Huo Xi. He wanted to explain things to her.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang a few times before being answered.

Huo Xi's voice was a little hoarse, and she spoke softly: "Is something the matter so late If it is, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm currently…"

Zhang Chongguang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He hadn't heard from Hosi in a long time. Even though she came to the villa every two or three days, he never saw her, and they didn't call each other either.

On a sudden, he felt a pang of longing.

After a long silence, he regained his composure and said calmly, “I just want to tell you, don’t send me things anymore, and don’t come to see me. I said our relationship is over, you don’t owe me anything, and I don’t owe you anything… Huo Xi, we are even.”

……

Huo Xi remained silent for a long while. Zhang Chongguang couldn't help but gently prod him: "Huo Xi"

Ho Xi hummed.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "The Star is hospitalized with a low fever. Can we talk about this later"

Ah...

Zhang Chongguang's hand holding the phone trembled, his ears flushed. His youngest daughter was in the hospital, but he was thinking about these men and women. He really shouldn't.

Actually, think about it, Huo Xi hasn't come for several days.

ZHANG Chongguang felt a bit guilty, more worried than anything else, and didn't have time to think about anything else: "Which hospital I'll be there right away."

Across from him, another long silence fell.

After a long silence, Huo Xi asked softly, "Aren't you going to sleep with Miss He Last time I came, she said she had anxiety and that my visits would affect her sleep. Zhang Chongguang, I think it's best not to let Xingxing's body problems interfere with your relationship."

She spoke in riddles, withdrawing while advancing. How could Zhang Chongguang not know

He didn't explain, just said, "Send me the address, and I'll be right there."eams, yet woke to soothe his wife."The snow has stopped, I can come over by helicopter, how about it"Wen Man lay on her side, tears streaming down her face.It was a dream, but she remembered it so cle...
