Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Huo Xingzhou’s Sea of Jealousy

Zhou Yu noticed something was off and looked at her doubtfully, asking, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you?"

Qiao Xi forced a faint smile, "Nothing, I’m just a bit surprised to see you here."

"Don’t even mention it. Tonight Huo Er and I dealt with a tough businessman from the Imperial Capital. I drank a couple more glasses."

No wonder they both smelled of alcohol.

Qiao Xi stepped forward, took Huo Xingzhou’s coat, gave it a shake, and hung it up, then made them some honey pomelo tea.

"Drink this to sober up. I’ll go check how Aunt Qian is doing in the kitchen."

Qiao Xi avoided Zhou Yu and also took her phone with her.

After taking a sip of the sweet and sour honey pomelo tea, Zhou Yu turned to Huo Xingzhou sitting beside him and said, "Why do I feel like sister-in-law is looking at me with pity and sympathy? Am I seeing things?"

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him, idiot.

His wife was about to leave and he was still here foolishly clamouring for ox bone soup noodles, even wanting to add two more beef meatballs!

Qiao Xi was in the hospital and Huo Xingzhou naturally paid attention to all relevant news inside the hospital; he knew when the preliminary list came out!

"You’re not seeing things."

Huo Xingzhou said, holding the glass and slowly sipping.

Zhou Yu leaned in and said, "You guys are too mysterious. What exactly happened? Just tell me."

"Do you really want to know?"

Huo Xingzhou looked up at him. This was probably Zhou Yu’s last chance, and as brothers for many years, he really should give him a heads up.

On this matter, his and Qiao Xi’s stances were different, but there was no right or wrong.

"Please tell me! Stop speaking in riddles, I’m really getting anxious!"

Usually, the kind of expression that appeared on Huo Xingzhou’s face indicated no good news, obviously related to him.

Huo Xingzhou took out his phone and handed it to him; the screen displayed the internal hospital’s preliminary list for the Aid Africa medical team, which outsiders normally couldn’t access.

But for Huo Xingzhou, getting it was simple.

Zhou Yu glanced at it and casually complained, "What are you showing me this for?"

When he scrolled down and saw Shu Xue’s name on the list, he zoomed in on the page.

He was not seeing things!

Indeed, the preliminary list of the Aid Africa medical team had Shu Xue’s name—she had secretly signed up without telling him a word.

"She’s going to Africa? For at least half a year?" Zhou Yu looked at Huo Xingzhou incredulously. "Am I the last one to know?"

He suddenly understood why Qiao Xi’s gaze was so strange just now—it was definitely sympathetic!

Zhou Yu’s anger surged, but felt like a balloon pricked by a needle, deflating instantly.

He said somewhat despondently, "Shu Xue mentioned breaking up with me a couple of days ago. I thought I was the dominant one in our relationship."

Huo Xingzhou looked at him with not much pity, but instead made a biting remark: "It’s not your first heartbreak. You’ve had so many girlfriends. It’s not the tenth time, at least the eighth, how are you not used to it yet?"

"Huo Xingzhou! Do you have any humanity left?" Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head and stared at him. "You’re utterly heartless."

"If I really were heartless, I wouldn’t have told you this news. Different situations require different approaches."

Huo Xingzhou was succinct.

Those who cared would understand his hint, those who didn’t wouldn’t get it no matter how much he explained.

Seeing how genuine Zhou Yu’s feelings for Shu Xue were.

Zhou Yu seemed thoughtful.

He stood up and said, "Old Chen, please drive me home."

Old Chen chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have plans tonight. Should I find a substitute driver for you?"

"No need, I’ll find one myself!"

Zhou Yu quickly grabbed his things and left.

Huo Xingzhou looked down, his fingers caressing the now cold glass, and said, "Old Chen, go wait for me in the study."

"Yes, Young Master."

Old Chen went upstairs.

When Qiao Xi and Aunt Qian emerged from the kitchen, seeing only Huo Xingzhou in the living room, they were puzzled for a moment.

"Where’s Mr. Zhou?"

"He went home."

"Oh? But doesn’t he love Aunt Qian’s beef noodles the most? We even added extra beef meatballs for him."

Qiao Xi felt a bit regretful, Huo Xingzhou stood up and walked towards her, saying, "You and Aunt Qian take your time eating. I have matters to attend to."

"Alright."

He was busy.

Since the designer salon ended, he had been busy with work. Last night, Qiao Xi woke up to find him not in the room.

The Future City project was already handed over to Zhou Yu, yet who knows what big issues he was still busy with.

"Young Madam, let’s eat. Don’t starve yourself," Aunt Qian pulled her towards the dining area.

That ox bone soup had been stewing for five or six hours. It shouldn’t go to waste.

Her phone screen on the side lit up.

It was an unread message from Cheng Han.

In the study.

Huo Xingzhou sat at the desk, flipping through heavy documents. If Qiao Xi were there, she’d definitely notice the documents contained records of companies with the title from the Imperial Capital.

He was planning ahead of time.

These were confidential documents, even Old Chen dared not peek at them.

Finally, he closed the documents, looked up at Old Chen, and said, "Tell me what you’ve found out."

Old Chen glanced at him hesitantly, his expression also a bit unnatural.

"You’re not usually like this, just speak up."

"Last time you and the Young Madam went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce, she later tried to withdraw the divorce application, but it wasn’t successful. The staff said the system had issues that day, but actually..."

Huo Xingzhou’s gaze deepened. "Was it Zhong Yi’s doing?"

He hadn’t paid attention to such a trivial matter.

"Yes, the hacker Fei Luan works for Young Master Zhong." Old Chen was really amazed. Nowadays, young people were quite remarkable.

Elusive and cunning, with superior wit!

It turned out that quite early on, Young Master Zhong had already begun infiltrating Haicheng.

It was rumored that Fei Luan was mercenary, not loyal to anyone, yet there was also a day he obeyed orders.

"Very good."

Huo Xingzhou’s tone was very calm, but Old Chen knew he was seething inside.

Young Master Zhong’s ambitions were clear! He had his eyes on the Young Madam, secretly undermining him!

If that divorce application hadn’t been withdrawn and the Young Master and Young Madam had another quarrel leading to divorce, it would have really ended their marriage this time!

What a "vicious" rival in love!

Old Chen was still muttering to himself when a "clang" of the door opening startled him!

In this house, everyone knocked before entering; he hadn’t anticipated this.

He just looked over.

Qiao Xi stood at the entrance of the study, clutching her phone, panting, with a panicked expression and a pale face.
