Chapter 378: The Arrogant and Rich Family + the Silent and Abstinent Bodyguard 24
Zhu Xingyao was still the same, always saying a few words when they met. Huo Zhao and the Zhu family's bodyguards followed behind him as bag carriers.
They had agreed to go shopping, but Zhu Xingyao always turned back to glance at Huo Zhao. Ruan Ruan even suspected that she really had a crush on Huo Zhao.
"I say, what's wrong with you? Are you serious?" Ruan Ruan nudged her with her elbow and asked in a low voice while choosing a necklace.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I just... well, I just wanted to see how capable the person who captured you is." Zhu Xingyao didn't know how to explain, so he had to evade the question.
She didn't understand either. She just couldn't help but want to look at Huo Zhao. She always felt that he seemed to have some connection with her, but she was sure that she didn't like him.
Zhu Xingyao lowered her voice and said, "Do you believe in the sixth sense? Women's sixth sense is terrifyingly strong."
Ruan Ruan: ...Why is this girl so weird today?
The shop assistant who was waiting on the side immediately left the VIP room and tactfully made room for the two.
Seeing this, Zhu Xingyao dared to speak out: "Tell me, is it possible that my dad is having an affair outside?"
She reasonably suspected that Huo Zhao was his father's adopted son, otherwise this feeling would be too strange.
Ruan Ruan: "?? You are really your father's great son."
Zhu Xingyao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by several message notification sounds. Ruan Ruan took out her phone and saw that it was from Secretary Li.
When you open the file, the first page is Huo Zhao’s personal information and experience, which can be completed on a simple page.
Zhu Xingyao came closer curiously, and after seeing clearly, he exclaimed: "Orphanage! He is an orphan?"
And he is the same age as me, what a coincidence?
While Zhu Xingyao was still guessing, Ruan Ruan had already turned to the next page, revealing a photo of a pretty woman, Lin Qianqian.
Zhu Xingyao frowned: "Why is it her?"
Ruan Ruan: "Do you know each other?"
"She's a little green tea. Last time during your coming-of-age ceremony, she poured wine all over me and cried like a pitiful child." Zhu Xingyao said with disdain, and asked in confusion, "Why are you investigating her? Did she offend you?"
"Maybe I am more popular with green tea lovers, and they are trying every means to get into my Xu family."
Zhu Xingyao glanced at the photos on her phone and said, "Come on, you are such a restless person, aren't you afraid of making things difficult for yourself?"
"You have to let out a long line to catch a big fish, do you understand?" Ruan Ruan poked her forehead, "When I catch a big fish, I'll call you to watch the show."
Zhu Xingyao just thought she was joking. After all, Ruan Ruan's previous image of being naive and brainless was too deeply rooted in her mind.
"It's up to you. Just don't drag yourself into this. By the way, send me a copy of this information. Also," Zhu Xingyao pointed outside the door and whispered, "Can you send your bodyguard to pick me up for a day?"
Ruan Ruan's mouth twitched, "Don't bully your friend's wife."
"You want to p." Zhu Xingyao was speechless. "It's okay if you don't lend it to him. Just find a way to get him to go to Kyoto Third Hospital as soon as possible. Just consider it as a favor I owe you."
"If you don't explain clearly, then we can't talk." Ruan Ruan crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain. "Don't think I don't know how you got that piece of land. Zhu Xingyao, let me tell you that selling out your friends will not end well."
"Don't put the blame on me!" Zhu Xingyao was embarrassed. Although she had communicated some news with Ji Huaichuan, she was still very sensible. Seeing Ruan Ruan's stern face, she was guilty and said vaguely, "Oh, I just said something insignificant. I just care about you."
Seeing that she was still unmoved, Zhu Xingyao looked around to make sure there were no surveillance cameras, then lowered his voice and said, "I suspect Huo Zhao is my Zhu family's child."
Ruan Ruan was shocked and her eyes widened the moment she heard it.
"Oh, I just have doubts." Zhu Xingyao said calmly, "I have a magical feeling every time I see him."
"Maybe we are really related by blood. I know the hope is slim, but let me try. Let me give up hope completely."
Ruan Ruan thought about it and agreed. After all, Secretary Li had not found out about Huo Zhao's experience before he came to the welfare home.
The Zhu family gave birth to twins, but unfortunately one of them died young. At that time, there were rumors that the Zhu family's descendants were weak and could not bear the noble status. There were many versions of this story. Could it be that the child who died young did not die?
When Ruan Ruan saw a hint of sadness in Zhu Xingyao's eyes, she stopped talking. Before they parted, she gave her a classic Winston four-leaf clover necklace.
On the way home, Ruan Ruan looked at Huo Zhao frequently, "You owe Lin Qianqian a great favor?"
The man felt very uncomfortable when she looked at him. He was relieved when he heard her speak. He shook his head and said, "She saved me when I was a child."
It’s a bit difficult to save your life.
Ruan Ruan frowned, "Butler Zhao will arrange for her to enter the Xu family. I will not be soft-hearted to people with ulterior motives. If you can't bear it, then let her stay away from me."
Huo Zhao was slightly startled, his voice cold, "When I was a child, I ran away from the orphanage and fainted on the way. She was the one who found me and sent me back to the orphanage. It was also during that time that the director was investigated and the orphanage was closed."
"Over the years, she has taken a lot of money from me, enough to repay her kindness."
He pursed his lips tightly, his face expressionless, as if he was telling someone else's story, but Ruan Ruan thought of the darkness in the orphanage in the information, and felt a deep pity in her heart.
Back then, the director of the welfare home amassed wealth, abused young children, and was involved in child trafficking and many illegal transactions. It must have been very difficult for Huo Zhao to raise himself to this age and get him into a sports school.
Ruan Ruan nodded slightly: "I understand."
"By the way, Butler Zhao will arrange for you to have a physical examination. It's an annual routine checkup. Just follow his arrangements when the time comes."
The man nodded silently, looking out the window with absent-minded eyes.
The bustling streets of the city flashed by quickly. Huo Zhao was in a luxury car, wrapped in a costly suit, and felt so annoyed that he couldn't breathe. A faint fragrance floated around him, and he breathed in more fragrance unconsciously.
The driver drove into the villa area. A tall figure stood in front of the flower bed. Before Ruan Ruan could lower the window, Ji Huaichuan stepped forward and called out softly, "Ruan Ruan." His eyes swept to Huo Zhao and the shopping bags on the other side. He smiled warmly, "Did you go shopping today? I have something to ask you. Is the time convenient?"
Ruan Ruan looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she told the driver to go back first and pushed the door open and walked down.
The vehicle continued to move forward. Huo Zhao sat up and looked at the rearview mirror. He could clearly see two people walking side by side. Ji Huaichuan seemed to have said something interesting. The girl smiled with her eyebrows curved. Her slender figure complemented the tall figure of the man.
Huo Zhao withdrew his gaze, only to feel the suffocating feeling coming up again. He lowered the car window and the evening breeze blew in, but it couldn't put out the anger.
