It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Just then, Huo Xi called via video.

A modern woman with long pink hair suddenly appears in the frame.

Both ends of the video call were startled when they saw strangers, but quickly returned to normal.

The waves are crashing, and the breeze is gentle.

Under the thin veil of night, the distant sea blended seamlessly with the sky and earth.

Huo Xi clicked his tongue and said to Zhou Yinghuai, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Hello, Miss Horsey."

Zhou Yinghuai felt that the name Huo Xi sounded familiar, and after meeting him in person, he finally remembered.

Huo Xi is the youngest daughter of the Huo family; to be precise, she is an illegitimate child.

She was only found by the head of the Huo family when she was twelve years old, and was made up for, cherished and pampered.

Last year, she married Wu Zhou, the youngest son of the Wu family who had once saved her.

In Libei, the Huo family doesn't associate with their circle.

Therefore, Zhou Yinghuai was not familiar with her.

The camera shakily pans as Huo Xi wade through the waves, the background noise deafening. "Mr. Zhou, could you please help me?"

Zhu Xi nodded repeatedly, "We two young women aren't as experienced as a business tycoon like you. Could you please help us?"

Zhou Yinghuai listened to Zhu Xi's words with his eyes lowered. "You're calling me an old fox?"

They not only called him an old fox, but they also insulted him with great respect.

She said, "You're such a cunning old fox."

Huo Xi promptly ended the video call, refusing to interfere in the newlyweds' affairs.

The sound of the waves faded away, leaving only the noise of the wedding venue between the two.

"What grudge did Hoshi have against the bride?"

Zhu Xi sighed, "A deep-seated hatred!"

She exaggerated, making a huge circle with her hands, saying, "It's no less than the hatred of killing my father or stealing my wife!"

Zhou Yinghuai couldn't guess, but he could understand: "Revenge is indeed warranted!"

Zhu Xi reluctantly put her phone away, leaned back in her chair, and said, "I told Huo Xi long ago that when a girl gets revenge, she should rip off the other person's hair and pull out a few strands while she's at it. In my opinion, a physical fight is worse than a verbal one!"

This hotel belongs to the Dazhou Group, and its business is managed by Zhou's uncles from a collateral branch of the family.

Zhou Yinghuai never interfered.

Having witnessed another side of Zhu Xi outside, I've already formed the idea of ​​helping her with a prank.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xi did not appreciate it.

Without making a sound, he took out his phone from his pocket and typed a few words.

The two were standing close together, almost simultaneously texting on their phones.

Zhou Yinghuai stopped quickly; in just over ten seconds, everything was arranged.

He glanced at her and added some more warm water. "How do you know the youngest daughter of the Huo family?"

Zhu Xi was still typing furiously on the screen, quickly swiping through the 26-grid layout, multitasking as he answered his question, "We were neighbors when we were kids, and Huo Xi used my pee to play with mud."

Zhou Yinghuai: "..."

This relationship is truly solid.

Zhu Xi grinned mischievously, finally managing to spare a second from the screen to look at Zhou Yinghuai's handsome and gentle face. "Disgusting, isn't it?"

Zhou Yinghuai's eyes appeared normal, revealing no emotion.

Zhu Xi took a big gulp of water. "After she finished playing with the mud, she stuffed a huge chunk into my mouth!"

She sneered, uttering harsh words, "I won't be able to close my eyes in peace until I avenge this!"

Zhou Yinghuai raised an eyebrow, a subtle movement that went unnoticed. "An irreconcilable sworn enemy!"

Zhu Xi paused for more than ten seconds before finally finishing and placing the phone face down on the table.

Have you met Huo Xi's husband, Wu Zhou?

As gossip began to circulate, Zhou Yinghuai showed no excitement whatsoever, remaining calm and composed. "Hmm."

Zhu Xi blinked. "He's like that sandwich filling."

Zhou Yinghuai: "?"

Zhu Xi: "He's bisexual, a shameless man who brings women to his marital home with Huo Xi and then shamelessly makes Huo Xi pay for everything."

Zhou Yinghuai has met many people of all kinds.

He had seen many things that couldn't be brought to light.

Zhu Xi pushed the water glass towards him, and Zhou Yinghuai reached out to pour her water.

She continued, "The month before last, everyone suddenly knew about Young Master Wu's messy affair. Huo Xi was freed, and the whole world rejoiced."

Zhou Yinghuai wasn't interested in these things. He only heard about the dirty dealings in the mansion when Zhou Lingyi and Sheng Xiali were gossiping about them.

He placed the water glass in a suitable spot next to her and took a tissue to wipe the water stains between them.

"It wasn't sudden." He explained the truth to her as if answering her question, "I have a friend surnamed Lou, and he was able to help."

Zhu Xi was truly surprised that Huo Xi never told her the process, but only informed her of a certain result.

She still couldn't believe it, not even noticing the strands of hair that were swaying and brushing against Zhou Yinghuai's hand.

Zhou Yinghuai lowered his eyes quietly, then raised them again and spoke once more, adding some details.

"The Wu family owns a piece of land in the west of the city, which they bought twenty years ago. As compensation, the Wu family gave it to Huo Xi."

Zhu Xi understood. "Mr. Lou, you want that piece of land?"

Zhou Yinghuai smiled faintly, his smile full of appreciation for her intelligence and insight. "Mrs. Zhou is indeed intelligent!"

"Zhu Xi, there's no need to call him Mr. Lou."

Zhu Xi tucked her hair behind her ears, held her water glass, and turned her body slightly to the side, her clear eyes looking at the crystal pillar of light in the center of the wedding stage.

She finally understood that class barriers could never be crossed.

Zhu Xi, who was keen on gossip, was completely unaware of Huo Xi's deal with Mr. Lou, while Zhou Yinghuai, who was oblivious to what was going on outside, knew the whole process.

Zhou Yinghuai keenly sensed her sudden indifference and deliberate aloofness, and added a question, asking sincerely.

"Zhu Xi, if you have time, go and meet my friend."

Zhu Xi tilted her head and smiled, "Okay, just let me know when you set the time."

-

The wedding was in full swing, and the bride made her entrance.

The contents of the mini USB drive stuffed into the congratulatory red envelope, thanks to some unknown genius, were displayed on the entire screen of the towering and magnificent hall.

3D surround sound, with absolutely no blind spots.

Zhu Xi almost spat out her water.

Still reeling from the shock, she turned her head to meet Zhou Yinghuai's calm, deep eyes.

I can't see anything.

Zhou Yinghuai: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

The room erupted in commotion as friends and relatives alike raised their phones.

Its popularity rivals that of a top internet celebrity's live performance.

Su Daiqing, who had been missing for a long time, put his hands in his pockets and sat down opposite Zhu Xi.

"Xi Xi," he raised an eyebrow, saying without hesitation, "Awesome!"

Zhu Xi's mind was still on the "Internet celebrity" press conference. She grabbed her phone from the table to record a video from a closer viewing angle so she could report to Huo Xi.

"Oh no, my phone's dead."

She rummaged through her bag with one hand, her eyes glued to the bride's most memorable moments.

Zhou Yinghuai handed over his phone, holding it by one corner with his thumb.

They didn't say anything, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Zhu Xi was taken aback.

In the 21st century, mobile phones are the most discreet items.

Zhou Yinghuai: "The password is the day we got our marriage certificate."

Zhu Xi said "Oh," raised her hand to accept the gift, and appreciated the kindness.

She ran to another spot, and Zhou Yinghuai glanced at the area out of the light.

The staff in uniform had already followed.

Zhou Yinghuai looked down at his watch. If it weren't for this foolish act, he would have been able to enjoy his own hotel's signature dish.
