A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 39
After she made up her mind that day, she immediately found Patriarch Henry Zhang.

At that time, Henry Zhang was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, leisurely tasting the excellent Yuqian Longjing, after hearing her words, he only nodded lightly, took a sip of the tea, his expression was as calm as a breeze.

There was no surprise that Xiao Muli would agree to marry the notorious Junwang Ye, as if everything was expected.

Seeing that Henry Zhang didn't speak, Xiao Muli grabbed the hem of his clothes and stood helplessly, because of the Xiao family's rules, she couldn't leave without the owner's order.

In silence, the atmosphere was suddenly a little oppressive, an invisible pressure enveloped Xiao Muli's head, making her feel that all the thoughts in her heart had nowhere to hide, she only felt cold, bitingly cold.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered a sentence I heard in my previous life: If the heart is cold, even if you are the sun, the light you emit can freeze the heart.

It couldn't be more appropriate to describe Henry Zhang.

After a long time, Xu felt that the pressure was enough. After Henry Zhang took a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, then raised his head to look at Xiao Muli. Nodding in satisfaction, he said lightly:
"Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say much, but you have to remember that no matter whether you are stupid or smart, no matter who you are, but your surname is Xiao, and the blood of the Xiao family is in your blood. It can never be changed, and assuming the blood of the Xiao family, one must bear the corresponding responsibility."

Xiao Muli who was standing on the side was startled, she knows what you are hiding in these words, she knows best.

Henry Zhang had already seen that she was not the original Xiao Muli, and even knew that she was not stupid.

I thought that she had covered it up very well in the past few years, and I don't know when he found out about it.

Before Xiao Muli could continue to think, he heard Henry Zhang say again:
"I don't care how you plan, as long as you promise me one thing, I will not pursue anything, and I will even tell you the news you want to know the most."

Thinking of this, Xiao Muli sighed and cursed secretly, he is really an old fox worthy of the name.

Even her plan has been guessed.

Of course, this is not what surprised her the most. What Henry Zhang did next and what he said really made her see what it means to be scheming.

"You don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of me. You might as well tell you that I have been watching your actions silently for the past few years. Those things are not something a fool can do at all."

Xiao Muli was silent. In order to avoid being bullied by others, she really did a lot of hands and feet in secret. She thought it was perfect, but unexpectedly, she was seen by this old fox. The ancients were right, Jiang did It's old and spicy. Compared with this old fox, she is still too tender.

"However, this is also good. In comparison, smart people are more useful."

Xiao Muli continued to remain silent, facing such an old fox, she didn't know what else to say besides being silent.

"In the past few years, have you been looking for something?" Henry Zhang looked at her helpless expression, with a half-smile expression on the corner of his mouth, and continued.

"you……"

Xiao Muli was startled, he even knew this?

"Don't ask me how I know. In this world, there are not many things I don't know. How powerful the Xiao family is. You must have seen it in the past few years. How about we make a deal?"

Henry Zhang asked confidently, he was sure that Xiao Muli would be interested.

"What deal?" I have to say, Henry Zhang's words finally moved Xiao Muli.

Henry Zhang put a mysterious smile on his mouth, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"How about it? As long as you agree to this matter, no matter how much effort you put in, when that day comes, I will use all my forces to help you find that thing, how about it?"
