Engage! Mrs. Huo is the real master of metaphysics

Chapter 72 At least half is missing

"Did you just say that Xie Tingxu's lifespan was shortened?" Huo Chenzhou frowned and looked at Jiang Zhi with a heavy gaze.

Jiang Zhi nodded obediently, "Yes, when I last saw him, he still had a long life, but now it is obviously less than half."

"You..." Seriously?
Huo Chenzhou couldn't say the next few words out loud because he knew Jiang Zhi wouldn't talk nonsense.

However, it had only been a week since the two of them last met, and Xie Tingxu had lost half of his life!

The man whose words shocked both the driver and Huo Chenzhou was now sleepy. Jiang Zhi closed her eyes and leaned directly against Huo Chenzhou.

Huo Chenzhou didn't move away, Jiang Zhi just threw herself into his arms, closed her eyes and looked like she was asleep.

The driver looked at this scene in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but stare. What should he say?

He doesn't have to say anything!
After all, he is just a driver.

As for Huo Chenzhou, he hadn't accepted the shocking news yet, but he didn't say a word and just hugged Jiang Zhi cautiously.

Make her sleep as comfortable as possible.

The next day.

Jiang Zhi woke up in a daze. She frowned and stared at the ceiling with her eyes blinking. The memory in her mind was a little messy.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhi finally connected those memories and realized that her headache now was because she drank too much last night.

In fact, she was conscious at first, but her body couldn't handle it at all and was completely paralyzed by the alcohol.

Jiang Zhi sighed helplessly.

But she was a little panicked now. Jiang Zhi quickly got up from the bed, put on her shoes in a panic and ran to the bathroom.

When Huo Chenzhou returned to the bedroom, he found that the person who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed was gone. Looking around, he found that the bathroom door was closed.

Apparently he was already up, so Huo Chenzhou sat down on the small sofa.

It didn't take long for Jiang Zhi to come out of the bathroom. When she saw Huo Chenzhou, she was stunned. Then she immediately curled her lips and said coquettishly to Huo Chenzhou, "Huo Chenzhou, my head hurts so much!"

Hearing Jiang Zhi say he had a headache, Huo Chenzhou immediately became nervous. He stood up and walked towards Jiang Zhi, "Does it hurt a lot?"

In fact, Jiang Zhi didn't feel much pain, she just wanted to be coquettish with Huo Chenzhou, but seeing Huo Chenzhou so nervous, she felt guilty for a while.

"It doesn't seem to hurt much." Jiang Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at the man in front of her, then lowered her voice and spoke vaguely.

Hearing this, Huo Chenzhou felt relieved, knowing that Jiang Zhi was just acting coquettishly with him. She might be a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't serious.

Huo Chenzhou sighed slightly and showed a slightly serious expression, "I asked you to drink less last night, but you didn't listen."

Jiang Zhi remained silent, and Huo Chenzhou continued: "When I come back, I won't let you drink sobering soup."

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and found that she had no memory of drinking the hangover soup. She thought she was completely confused at that time.

"Then I drank too much." Jiang Zhi retorted. Huo Chenzhou paused. This was indeed the truth. A rational person knew that there was no point in arguing with a drunk person.

"Then do you still remember what happened when you met Xie Tingxu last night?" Huo Chenzhou suddenly asked.

Jiang Zhi was stunned and didn't react for a while, but she recalled it in her mind and it seemed that this happened.

"I seem to have told you that his life span is short, right?" Jiang Zhi vaguely remembered this matter.

Huo Chenzhou nodded, his expression slightly serious, "Do you know what's going on?"

Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't you suspect that I drank too much and talked nonsense?"

Huo Chenzhou did not answer Jiang Zhi's question. The answer was very obvious.

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but smile, but then shook her head, "I don't know what happened. The last time I saw him, although he looked very haggard, he still lived a long life. He died last night. It’s completely turned upside down.”

"Completely upside down?" Huo Chenzhou frowned slightly.

Jiang Zhi nodded solemnly, "Yes, he looked very healthy last night, but his lifespan was reduced by at least half!"

Even though he knew about such a thing last night, Huo Chenzhou was still extremely shocked when he heard it at this moment.

"I also know what happened during this period." Jiang Zhi couldn't help but mutter, but her expression was calm and she obviously didn't take this matter to heart.

Huo Chenzhou didn't know what happened to Xie Tingxu. After all, he and Xie Tingxu had no friendship or work contacts, so it was normal not to know.

Before Zeng Xiang could say anything else, Jiang Zhi's Five Zang Temple had already begun to remind Jiang Zhi that she had been awake for a long time and it was time to have breakfast!
Jiang Zhi swallowed and said quickly: "It's getting late, let's go down and have breakfast first."

Looking at Jiang Zhi's back as she hurriedly went to the cloakroom to change clothes, he actually wanted to ask Jiang Zhi just now what to do about this matter and whether he should tell Aunt Xie or directly tell Xie Tingxu.

But in the end, Huo Chenzhou didn't say anything. There were many things in this world, and it was impossible for Ah Zhi to take care of them all. And didn't he just hope that Ah Zhi wouldn't get involved in some dark things from the beginning?
Of course, his thoughts don't matter. No matter what Jiang Zhi does, he just needs to stand beside Jiang Zhi and support her unconditionally.

After Jiang Zhi changed her clothes, the two went downstairs to eat.

Today is Sunday, and Huo Chenzhou still has no work scheduled. He specifically asked Secretary Tong to free up his time.

But Jiang Zhi still looked a little confused now. Huo Chenzhou felt that she had not fully woken up from the wine last night, so he should wait until she calmed down before talking.

Perhaps because she was trapped in the palace wall in her previous life, or perhaps because she spent a long time in the underworld, Jiang Zhi likes to go out and play, but when she is not going out, she can also stay alone quietly.

It's just that Huo Chenzhou's thoughts were wide-ranging. He originally thought that Jiang Zhi also had a calm temperament, but as he thought about it, Huo Chenzhou couldn't help but feel distressed.

He sincerely hoped that Jiang Zhi would be happy every day.

However, Huo Chenzhou was just "sentimental" for a moment. After breakfast, several uninvited guests arrived in the villa!
Huo Chenzhou saw He Yanting leaning next to Jiang Zhi and asked excitedly: "Sister-in-law, besides the peace talisman, what other talismans do I need? I'll take them all together today."
