Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 766: Humiliating Zhong Yi

Qiao Xi hurriedly reached out and pinched his lips, "Don’t mess around."

Huo Xingzhou chuckled softly.

That stern, intense face was truly somewhat mesmerizing.

Qiao Xi subconsciously bit the corner of her lip, where his warmth still lingered.

This man really is...

"Old Chen is still here."

Qiao Xi softly reminded.

Old Chen quickly said, "I didn’t see anything."

Then he lowered the partition, separating the front and back spaces.

Qiao Xi, feeling a bit uneasy, said, "Is Jiaojiao’s marriage really set just like that?"

"My parents probably won’t object."

"Your Huo Family’s attitude towards marriage is indeed... rather casual."

Back then, Huo Xingzhou married to ward off bad luck.

Now, Huo Sijiao is to have a flash marriage.

"Destiny is ordained, and fate is written," Huo Xingzhou was quite composed, "As long as one can be responsible for their own life, that’s enough."

Qiao Xi silently nodded, "That’s true. I see Jiaojiao really likes Xie Xubai."

"You don’t have to worry so much anymore."

Huo Xingzhou gently caressed her lower abdomen, "Just patiently wait for our child’s birth."

By then, everything will be settled.

"Okay!"

Qiao Xi nodded vigorously.

...

Night fell.

The bustling Imperial Capital was brightly lit.

Perched halfway up the mountain, the Zhong Family’s old mansion remained imposing and solemn.

The living room, however, was quite lively.

Zhong Yi sat in a wheelchair, accompanied only by Wan Jiang behind him.

He looked somewhat pitiable.

The Old Master of Zhong Family sat in a chair, his hands resting on the sides. Beside him stood Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Hongfei, father and son, with mocking expressions on their faces.

The atmosphere was very tense.

The Old Master held a cup of Ceylon black tea and said, "Broke your leg and need a wheelchair? Hasn’t it been days since you got out of the hospital and just thought of coming back?"

He was very displeased with Zhong Yi’s recent actions.

Losing grace over a country girl.

He plotted for her once or twice, leading to having a mistress at home and breaking off the engagement with Lu Yingxue.

Went to Thirteen Bay and ended up all injured.

He was very disappointed!

The Old Master once held some expectations for Zhong Yi.

But repeated blows made him lose confidence in Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi said softly, "Didn’t break the leg, just physically weak and need a wheelchair. It will get better soon; before the ninth of January, I’ll be fine."

"The ninth?"

The Old Master, upon hearing this date, showed a slight indifference in his expression.

"Take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Old Master, for the reminder."

Zhong Yi remained respectful yet firm, with no apparent dejection. But his handsome face did show signs of frailty.

"There’s no need to snarl at me sarcastically." The Old Master stood up with the help of a cane, "Whether you’re fine by the ninth or not is none of my concern. Even if you remain in a wheelchair, it doesn’t matter. You’ve already lost face for a married woman."

He most despised men indulging in romantic entanglements.

Handing the Zhong Family over to Zhong Yi was highly unreliable.

The Old Master feared one day Zhong Yi might give away the Zhong Family’s century-old foundation for that woman.

Might as well choose a different candidate, even if not outstanding, at least barely usable.

"Steward, help me upstairs."

The Old Master, being old, had trouble with his movements.

Zhong Lingxiao quickly said, "Old Master, Miss Lu and Zhong Yi have broken off the engagement. But she still has a heart to take care of your health. I’ll call her tomorrow to visit you."

"You arrange it."

The Old Master slowly ascended the stairs.

In the living room, Zhong Yi lowered his eyes as Wan Jiang poured him a glass of water.

"Young Master, please have some water."

"Okay."

Zhong Yi picked up the glass and took a sip.

Zhong Lingxiao looked at Wan Jiang and raised his voice, "Wan Jiang, I feel like having some red wine. Could you please fetch a bottle from the cellar for me?"

Wan Jiang hesitated, "Young Masculine Zhong, I have to care for the young master and can’t leave. Why don’t you ask a servant to help instead?"

"If I remember correctly, you’re employed by the Zhong Family. Aren’t you supposed to serve just Zhong Yi?" Zhong Lingxiao sat on the sofa, somewhat arrogantly saying, "Wan Jiang, are you trying to meddle in a conversation between us brothers?"

The Old Master had clearly given up on Zhong Yi.

People in this Zhong Family are adept at gauge the winds of change.

Adding to Zhong Yi’s projects being repeatedly thwarted, he now had few reliable people around.

Wan Jiang, however, was loyal.

Zhong Yi sarcastically said, "What do we brothers have to talk about? We’re not even born of the same mother."

"How dare you speak to your elder brother like that? Such rudeness; I shouldn’t have let that woman secretly give birth to you. You’re as greedy as her, wanting to use the child to gain status!"

Zhong Hongfei never liked the rebellious Zhong Yi but was completely compliant with his eldest son.

As if he wasn’t the one who cheated back then.

Zhong Yi coldly retorted, "Greedy? Who claimed to be unmarried, seduced a female college student, and dumped her after getting what he wanted? Zhong Hongfei, if you really despise me, you should’ve controlled yourself back then. Then I, Zhong Yi, wouldn’t be here to trouble you now."

"How dare you speak to me like this? I’m your biological father!"

"Should I be polite to someone worse than an animal?"

"You..."

Zhong Hongfei picked up a teacup from the coffee table and threw it, but fortunately, Wan Jiang blocked it fast enough.

The cup didn’t hit Zhong Yi but left a noticeable red mark on Wan Jiang’s neck.

"What do you think you are as an assistant? Someone, take him away!" Zhong Hongfei, relying on his power, was a profligate elder fop. After being suppressed by Zhong Yi for a few years, he grew even more resentful.

Now hearing the Old Master’s inclination to hand the heir’s position to Zhong Lingxiao, he began to feel smug again.

Most of the Zhong Family’s bodyguards were people of Zhong Lingxiao; with Zhong Yi recently under pressure. To put on a show, he had also withdrawn those people.

"Young Master Zhong!"

Even though Wan Jiang was skilled, he couldn’t fight off so many experts.

He could only be forcibly dragged away.

Zhong Yi sat in the wheelchair, his jade-like handsome face full of coldness.

Zhong Lingxiao, hands casually folded, slowly said, "Father, please go back to your room and rest. I still have some things to discuss with Zhong Yi. After all, we won’t have many opportunities to meet in the future."

"Hmm, don’t spoil this rebellious son. As the elder brother is like a father, discipline him well."

Zhong Hongfei straightened his clothes and angrily left.

The living room was left with the two brothers.

It suddenly became much quieter.

Zhong Lingxiao poured himself a cup of tea and slowly drank it, surveying Zhong Yi, saying, "I’ve never really understood how a bastard can swagger in front of me. Don’t you feel that your coming into this world is a mistake?"

Zhong Yi did not back down: "If you had the ability, I wouldn’t have to return to the Zhong Family, but because you’re too incompetent. You think I wanted to come back?"

He had no choice back then.

The Old Master came to the door; he could only leave.

Otherwise, Moon Village would face endless difficulties.

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out.
