Mr. Huo's thin lips moved and his eyes lit up. He slowly rolled up his sleeves and said, "What can I do for you? Tell me."
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "I have a friend who beat Yue Ziqian. Now Yue Ziqian and his mother insist on telling my friend. I want to ask Mr. Huo to be a go-between to help me negotiate and persuade the Yue family."
"It turned out that the person who broke my nephew's nose and broken a rib was your friend." Mr. Huo's heart ached when he heard that Huo Su was crying at home.
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would stand on the side of her family. "It's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, I can apologize on behalf of my friend or even lose money. It's just a small matter. The Huo family is a well-known family, so there's no need to go to court."
"I heard that the murderer came here to beat Yue Ziqian. It's not a misunderstanding. He did it on purpose," he said word by word.
Su Xiaoxiao was angry, and her face was as red as the sunset glow. "Yes, I admit that my friend was a little impulsive, but he was too angry with Yue Ziqian because of what he did to me! Can't we just call it even?"
"A draw?" Mr. Huo stood up, put his hands into the pockets of his trousers, and joked, "Little girl, there is no fairness in this world. For example, I helped you remove the relationship with Yue Ziqian, but you broke the agreement. It's unfair to me."
Su Yi's face was flushed red, but her heart had fallen into an ice cave.
As expected, this vengeful man was still holding a grudge!
Seeing that he wanted to end the conversation, she gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you that I will keep my promise, as long as you can help me solve this problem!"
She had underestimated the relationship between Mr. Huo and Yue Ziqian's uncle. After all, they were relatives.
In that case, the only thing she could do was to raise her relationship with him.
In short, she couldn't let her brother Tai Yu go to jail because of this matter.
Mr. Huo's eyes moved slightly when he saw that her face was flushed red because of anxiety and her eyes were shining brightly. His dark eyes were filled with an almost undetectable cold air. "Who is that person?"
What kind of friend was it that was worthy of her risking her life for him and was willing to do something that she was unwilling to do for him?
She didn't want to say more, but even if she didn't say it, since she asked Mr. Huo to participate in this matter, he would find out sooner or later. She pursed her lips and said, "He is the brother I met when I lived in the orphanage."
In the orphanage, Mr. Huobei frowned. "Oh, I've told you before that she had lived in the orphanage for about half a year after her father passed away."
"...Brother Rongyu is very kind to me. Knowing that Yue Ziqian is very angry with me, he acted on impulse and went to teach Yue Ziqian a lesson."
His eyelids twitched. "Oh, my childhood sweetheart."
She denied it. "No, you've always treated me as your younger sister. We're not in love."
Mr. Huo didn't comment. He put one hand into his trousers pocket and slowly approached her. Caught off guard, he lifted her red cheeks and chin and said mockingly, "Of course I know."
She gave it to him for the first time.
Therefore, there shouldn't be any old feelings between her and Rong Yu. At least, she hadn't reached the last step between a man and a woman.
Su Xiaoxiao bit her lips. When she heard the sinister tone in his voice, her face turned hot.
"But, how can I know that you won't go back on your word? I helped you, Little Bamboo, and you ran away again. What should I do?" Mr. Huo still remembered that she had changed her mind before, so he lifted her little face heavily.
The heat of her rough fingertips seeped through her skin little by little and spread all over her body. She was forced to raise her face and meet his stern eyes. She swallowed and said, "Then... what do you want?"
Mr. Huo's fingers slid down and his voice was neither loud nor low. He circled around in the living room. "Sister Lan."
Sister Lan came out of the worker's room. "Third Master."
"From today on, Miss Su will stay here. You go to arrange a room first."
Sister Lan was surprised. Obviously, she was well aware of her master's temperament. Without asking anything more, she turned around and went upstairs.
Su Xiaoxiao was also shocked. "No... I'm in such a hurry. At least wait for me to go back to get some clothes and daily necessities."
"I'll tell the police to send it to you." This sentence dispelled her extravagant hope.
Her back reflexively trembled for a moment. Without any objection, she chose to accept it.
Anyway, she was homeless, and no one would care where she was.
In that case, he might as well treat himself as a ' commanded fee' in advance so that the man would be satisfied.
He was still rather satisfied with her obedience, but he pinched her chin again. His fingers tightened, and this time, he increased his strength. Su laughed, and a small crack appeared on his rose-like lips. He lightly cried out in pain, but at the same time, there was a seductive feeling of trembling.
"If you dare to go back on your word and run away like last time, even if your little Zhu Ma is fine, I can send him back to the police station." He loosened his fingers and gave a faint warning, but every word made Su Xiaoxiao shiver.
She answered, "I... I know. I won't go back on my word."
She understood that the last time she bit him and ran away at the gate of the community. He didn't catch up with her, not because he was kind enough to let her go, but because he knew that she was in his palm and couldn't run away at all. Sooner or later, she would stumble back with her wings fluttering.
Mr. Huo turned around and walked up the stairs.
"Mr. Huo." Rubbing his aching chin, he grinned at his back.
He stopped.
"Why, why did you choose me?" She really didn't understand.
What kind of woman did a man like him want?
Why did she have to pick an orphan girl whom even her fiance looked down upon?
Could it be that he was tired of the delicacies and now he wanted to change the taste of the porridge and the dishes?
Or perhaps, he was a psycho and wanted to try—the feeling of occupying his nephew's wife?
Her hair stood on end.
Mr. Huo's face tilted slightly, and there was no expression on his face, which was as delicate as a knife. "Remember, I'm the only one who will question you in the future."
She bit her lip. "That's right. I don't have the right to ask him." He took a few steps upstairs and stopped.
"In addition, in the future, you will call me Third Master, just like Sister Lan and Weal."
Mr. Huo? Only she dared to call him by his name. He felt that he really had to teach this little woman a lesson.
...
That night, Su Xiaoxiao lived in the guest room on the second floor of the villa.
Only Mr. Huo lived in the mansion. Most of the rooms were empty, but the decoration was still very heart-wrenching. According to Sister Lan, Mr. Huo had a habit of cleanliness. Every day, he would knock on the door to clean up. It was very clean and tidy.
The guest room she lived in was a small suite with a bathroom and a large balcony. Standing on it, she could see the natural lake outside the community, the lush forest, and even the vague outline of the mountains in the suburbs in the distance.
In the capital city where every inch of land was expensive, such a house was comparable to the palace.
It was good to have money. They could enjoy too many wonderful things.
