Chapter 754: Chapter 754: In the future, let’s meet more often

Zhong Yi saw her so serious and smiled as he said, "Go ahead."

Qiao Xi didn’t treat him as an outsider, nor did she intend to keep Cheng Han being alive a secret from him.

"Ayi, Grandpa Cheng is still alive."

With Qiao Xi’s words, the calm facade of Zhong Yi started to crack.

Cheng Han is still alive?

Zhong Yi had suspected this before, but ultimately dismissed it because Qiao Xi held a funeral for Cheng Han.

He believed Qiao Xi wouldn’t fabricate such a thing on a major issue like this.

She has great respect for life and death.

"He’s staying at our place. He was seriously injured before. He just woke up today and should be resting right now." Qiao Xi continued to explain, watching his shocked expression, "The situation was urgent, with the Lu Family pressing us step by step, we had no choice but to do this."

"Ayi, Grandpa Cheng came to the Imperial Capital looking for his biological daughter. I didn’t expect that Mrs. Cheng in the last round of the needle-testing competition was his daughter, but fortunately, I have already figured out a way to take her away."

Qiao Xi stopped at this point, not revealing more of the secrets from those years.

If Grandpa Cheng wanted him to know about the love and hate of those years, he would surely tell him.

Zhong Yi struggled to digest this news.

The way he looked at Qiao Xi was a bit different now.

The once so simple-minded Qiao Xi, single-minded in her actions, showed no understanding of detours, no knowledge of yielding, but now she told such a colossal lie.

His gaze slowly turned to Huo Xingzhou’s face, again blaming him for corrupting her!

Qiao Xi saw that he hadn’t responded for a long time, so she asked, "Ayi, are you not happy about this news?"

"Happy."

Zhong Yi’s emotions were a bit complex.

He was somewhat happy; with Cheng Han being alive, he could afford to be a little more lenient with the Lu Family.

But the matter was so significant that shock outweighed joy.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath, suppressing other thoughts as he said, "When can I see him? It’s been many years, and I have some things I want to say to him face to face."

Qiao Xi gently said, "I can take you upstairs to see him after dinner, but I don’t know if Grandpa Cheng is asleep. Xiaoyun just went up to bring him food, so let’s wait a while."

The old man hadn’t been awake long, so Qiao Xi wanted to check on him before he saw guests.

She glanced at the greens and rice cakes in Zhong Yi’s bowl and said, "Weren’t you talking about wanting to eat greens and rice cakes? Take this chance to eat more, and next time I’ll have someone send some rice cakes from Haicheng."

The rice cakes from the Imperial Capital and Haicheng still had a bit of difference.

"Okay."

Zhong Yi nodded, picking up the rice cakes in his bowl with chopsticks.

Eating one bite after another.

While they were talking, no one else could interject. It was as if they were completely isolated in their own world, and that feeling was really annoying.

Sun Weimeng’s intuition was very keen.

He didn’t dare to say much, just let his eyes roll, carrying many emotions.

Looking at Zhong Yi for a while, and then at Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou.

The atmosphere between these three was truly bizarre.

Underneath the surface calm, there was an undercurrent surging.

Look, Huo Xingzhou started serving Qiao Xi food.

"Eat more to supplement some protein. If in the future you still want to eat free-range eggs, I’ll plan a chicken farm in Moon Village, including all the hills. This could also provide some job opportunities for the villagers, exclusively supplying eggs to the Huo Family and Tianyuan Group."

The egg demand of one family was not much, but one group’s demand was huge.

It was like sending a laying hen to Moon Village; although it couldn’t make them rich, it could make life a little better.

"Really?"

Qiao Xi was pleasantly surprised.

She had never thought she could help her hometown in this way, only ever thinking of road construction and poverty alleviation.

She stared at Huo Xingzhou’s handsome face, suddenly feeling enlightened.

Actually, she could find ways to market the village’s agricultural products and wild mountain treasures; city people loved natural, green, and pollution-free food.

Huo Xingzhou saw her eyes sparkling, and feeling moved, said, "Sun Weimeng, you take care of it tomorrow!"

Sun Weimeng replied miserably, "Okay."

What else could he do but agree?

He could not embarrass Huo Xingzhou in front of a rival.

Zhong Yi wasn’t willing to show weakness: "As for the chicken farm, I am more familiar with the terrain and villagers of Moon Village than President Huo. I am the most suitable candidate. Why hand it over to an outsider like Young Master Sun? Besides supplying your group, I want to take some funds to do charity—for example, a project donating an egg."

Qiao Xi looked at him curiously.

Zhong Yi, as if pouring out beans, said everything.

"Provide a free egg every day to children from poor families, ensuring nutrition. Our village is slowly improving, but many children across the country are still in poverty. Many sufferings in this world are beyond our imagination."

Zhong Yi’s words weighed on Qiao Xi’s heart.

"You’re quite right, I was lazy before, donating part of the beauty salon’s profits to the Xingyue Foundation, thinking I could help that way, but I’m not as thoughtful as you."

Zhong Yi’s lips slightly lifted, "If not for your mention, I wouldn’t have thought about it either."

Qiao Xi felt a soft spot in her heart.

Huo Xingzhou’s face darkened even more.

Sun Weimeng quickly tried to lighten the mood, changing the topic: "Why is Huo Sijiao so angry? She didn’t even come back for dinner. Could she really be mad at us?"

"Probably not."

Qiao Xi was quite sure, "Jiaojiao is a straightforward girl; if she was really angry, she would tell us. It’s not like her to storm out and give us the silent treatment; she probably calmed down by now."

"That’s good, otherwise I’d worry about her safety."

Sun Weimeng’s chatter and jokes kept the conversation going.

The dinner was eaten without any danger.

Finally, it ended.

Zhong Yi didn’t get to see Cheng Han, because he was too exhausted and had already fallen asleep.

Huo Xingzhou coldly invited him to leave.

"Take care."

At the front of the villa, under the light, Huo Xingzhou’s handsome face was covered with a cold frost.

Finally, got rid of this uninvited guest.

Zhong Yi sat in the car, rolling down the window.

His eyes held a hint of provocation: "See you later."

There would be many opportunities to meet in the future.

He had long said that the day his identity was revealed.

Qiao Xi wouldn’t remain indifferent; even if she was Huo Xingzhou’s wife, she would reserve a place for him.

Huo Xingzhou had been stubborn before, but now... he saw, right?

In the future, there would be more to see.

He couldn’t penetrate the past memories between him and Qiao Xi.

"Wan Jiang, drive."

Zhong Yi’s mood seemed good, quite happy.

"Yes, Young Master Zhong."

Wan Jiang carefully reversed, pressing the gas pedal to drive off.

Huo Xingzhou stood by the door, saying faintly, "Sun Weimeng, you and Old Chen go out. Xiaoyun, go to the kitchen and tidy up."

He sent everyone away.

Reaching out to grasp Qiao Xi’s wrist, he walked into the living room.
