Because of her nervousness, a thin trace of sweat was faintly oozing from her palms, but her voice was obedient and soft, and there was no trace of abnormality.

"Hello, Grandpa Huo."

Hearing this, Huo Lao pushed the first cup of tea that he had made to Zhan Yunsheng, and said to her in an unrecognizable tone of joy and anger: "Try it, Zhuyeqing."

Zhan Yunsheng said thank you a little cautiously, but he didn't touch the cup of tea.

Seeing this, Mr. Huo narrowed his phoenix eyes sharply.

He looked deeply at Zhan Yunsheng for a few seconds, and said:

"If your great-grandfather Zhan Xiuyuan is still alive, he will drink even if I spit in the tea. Why, you don't like my Zhuyeqing?"

Facing the strong coercion of the old man, although Zhan Yunsheng was afraid in her heart, the blood of the Zhan family was flowing in her bones. She quickly calmed down and said with a soft smile:

"My great-grandfather is my great-great-grandfather, and I am me. We and our family members have become stronger and stronger from generation to generation. The younger generation does not drink your tea not because the younger generation is disrespectful to you, but because the younger generation is allergic to tea. If possible, boiled water is fine."

When the words fell, the old man's eyes overflowed with admiration, and then he narrowed his eyes and asked her: "Do you know why I asked you two to come together?"

Zhan Yunsheng blinked his shining eyes, and asked without answering: "Can I ask you a question first?"

Huo Lao also poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xiaolin at this time, pushed it in front of him, took a deep look at him, and then said to Zhan Yunsheng: "Ask."

After he finished speaking, Zhan Yunsheng said, "What's the relationship between Huo Xiang and you?"

Huo Lao called Huo Xiang after she finished speaking, "Xiang'er, she is interested in you."

Huo Xiang walked up to Mr. Huo, raised his chin against Zhan Yunsheng, and explained to her disdainfully:
"I'm his granddaughter. When Jiang Xiaolin begged my grandfather to help him to the throne, he fully agreed to marry me. So, little princess Zhan, do you understand my grandfather's intentions?"

Zhan Yunsheng snorted, and said to her with a highly suspicious attitude:

"Really? You don't look like Huo Lao's granddaughter at all. You are too dusty, and you haven't inherited Huo Lao's integrity at all.

As for, you say that Jiang Xiaolin promised to marry you is also nonsense, right?Jiang Xiaolin has been with me for more than ten years, and what he hates the most is a woman like you who is so dusty, you are lying. "

As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiang's nose was about to lose her temper. She said to Huo Lao: "Grandpa, this little girl is too ungrateful."

Huo Lao glared at her at this time, with a tone of hatred for iron and steel, and said sharply:
"Isn't it because you grew crooked when you were born in the womb, and you don't live up to your expectations. You learn all kinds of things, and you are useless if you are told to go to school, and you blame the little girl for showing you?"

Huo Xiang's lungs hurt from choking, and his eyes were red with anger: "I don't care, anyway, you promised me to recruit Jiang Xiaolin as your grandson-in-law."

After the sound fell, Jiang Xiaolin did not wait for Huo Lao to speak, and expressed his position. He said:
"Grandpa Huo has treated me kindly. However, I think I have contributed a lot to the development of the ghost organization to its current huge situation in these years, so I don't owe you anything. I cooperated with you at the beginning, it was a mutually beneficial transaction, in the future And it will be. As for the others, the junior redeemer cannot agree."

Jiang Xiaolin's attitude was within Huo Lao's expectation.

After Jiang Xiaolin finished speaking, he said in a deep voice:
"Don't rush to refuse, wait for me to finish my sentence. Although my granddaughter has been raised crookedly, I have only one offspring right now. If you agree to marry her, you will be the new Pavilion Master of Ghost from now on.
The entire fantasy city is yours, and the entire Haicheng will also be under your control... At that time, your parents' bloody feud will not be a matter of your words? "

After his words fell, Jiang Xiaolin replied calmly: "Thank you for your love, junior, but junior will not agree."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Huo's face became ugly.

He narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Zhan Yunsheng: "Because of this little girl?"

Jiang Xiaolin said frankly:
"Even without her, I wouldn't marry Huo Xiang. I don't love her. Marrying her is tantamount to harming her. You don't want her to be unhappy all her life, do you?"

After the sound fell, before Huo Lao could speak, Huo Xiang said emotionally:
"I don't need you to love me, I love you enough, when we get married, the whole fantasy city will be yours, and then you will be the new overlord of Haicheng, isn't such a prominent power enough to attract you ?"

Jiang Xiaolin looked at her at this moment, and said frankly to her calmly:
"Maybe there used to be. Now I have a woman in my heart that I want to take care of. Even if you pluck the stars from the sky, I won't care."

Hearing this, Huo Xiang's eyes turned red with anger, but Zhan Yunsheng's heart was bubbling sweetly, and of course he was moved.

Although she is not a man, she somewhat knows how attractive power is to a man.

But now this man is willing to give up his wealth and power for her, how can she not be moved.

The man's words continued:

"If Mr. Huo can trust me, Jiang Xiaolin, as a person, instead of forcing me to be your grandson-in-law, I, Jiang Xiaolin, can assure you that as long as I, Jiang Xiaolin, am here, I will work for the ghost for a day and will never betray you." ..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Huo sighed:

"That's all. Twisted melons are not sweet. This city of ghosts and dreams was originally created by me and your grandfather in the early years. Now that I am old, this big industry will be destroyed sooner or later without a man supporting it.

I can't count on Xiang'er, but even if I recognize you as my grandson, you are still an outsider after all.But now City of Dreams must have a young junior on top, and there is no suitable candidate except you.

Hey, how about this, I won't force you to go to our Huo family tree and change your name and surname, as long as you promise to me that in the future, at least one of your children will be given to me, let him and my surname be Huo, and in the future City of Dreams will also Someone who can succeed..."

Jiang Xiaolin can understand Huo Lao's mood, but he can't agree.

His species can only be surnamed Jiang.

Therefore, after Huo Lao's voice fell, he said:
"I know your concerns. Instead of asking my child to be the heir of Dream City, you should choose a better grandson-in-law for Huo Xiang. In the future, their children will be the hope of Dream City..."

Mentioning this, Mr. Huo had a headache. He pinched his forehead and said:

"Unless the son-in-law who stepped in is you, I can't trust anyone else. Don't you know Xiang'er? She's just a straight person without a brain, and a man with a little bit of thought can play her to death.
Rather than falling into the hands of others, I would rather the City of Dreams fall into your hands, at least in the future it can go on the right path and develop for a long time. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaolin realized that Jiang Xiaolin was unwilling to agree to his request.

After he realized this, he quickly threatened Jiang Xiaolin with a stern face:
"Jiang Xiaolin, don't you know how to flatter? If you toast and don't eat fine wine, I can't touch Zhan Yunsheng, and I can't touch your sister or you? Do you know what's going on with your sister now? She was pregnant by Jiang Xiaozhi , whether the child in her womb can live or not depends entirely on your decision."

Paused, emphatically added,

"Don't you like this little girl very much? Tell me, if I ask someone to feed you something to lock you up with Xiang'er, and you two cook raw rice, you say this little girl will still want you ?"

As soon as these words came out, the veins on Jiang Xiaolin's forehead protruded faintly.

He rolled his throat deeply twice, and smiled softly at Mr. Huo:

"Grandpa Huo, if I couldn't get together with the woman I love the most because of you, would you believe that I would not only let your dream city change hands, but also kill your only granddaughter? Compared to being ruthless, I Never lost!"

He stood up when he said this.

He looked down at the old man who was already faintly angry, and said with an extremely strong attitude:

"I still say the same thing. You can trust me, you can recognize me as your grandson. I will definitely manage the Dream City and assist Huo Xiang's descendants in the future. If you can't, if you dare to touch my sister, I will let you This is the end of the pulse and the city of dreams."

After he finished speaking, he took Zhan Yunsheng's hand and said softly, "Let's go."

When he was leading Zhan Yunsheng away while he was talking, Huo Laonu dropped a set of tea sets and said sharply, "Crazy man, stop!"

Jiang Xiaolin tilted his head slightly, and looked straight at Mr. Huo, "Do you have any orders?"

If he hadn't known that he would not live long, if his granddaughter hadn't lived up to expectations, if he hadn't been unable to let go of this huge property... how could he bow his head to a wolf cub.

That's all~
If he doesn't compromise, his lineage will probably come to an end when it comes to Huo Xiang.

Maybe, after he dies, even Huo Xiang will be hunted down by his enemies.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Huo said to Jiang Xiaolin:

"Until I think about it, your sister can only stay with me." After a pause, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to take care of her."

Jiang Xiaolin narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment: "I want to see her now."

In Huo Lao's opinion, Jiang Yanyan is currently the best chess piece to hold Jiang Xiaolin, and he cannot easily agree to Jiang Xiaolin's meeting with her.

Therefore, after Jiang Xiaolin's voice fell, he stated: "Wait for the new year. You go back to Haicheng to celebrate the new year with me, and I will let you meet each other."

Jiang Xiaolin also didn't want to completely get into trouble with Mr. Huo, because it would not be good for him to have a relationship with Mr. Huo.

Therefore, after Mr. Huo finished speaking, he said softly, "Then I'll thank you for taking care of her for me during this time."

After he finished speaking, he held Zhan Yunsheng and was about to leave. At this moment, Mr. Huo called Zhan Yunsheng to stop:
"Zhan Yunsheng, how can you tell him to treat you like this? I heard that you have a marriage contract with the grandson of the old lady of the Jiang family?"

"Nan Huaijin and I have already broken up."

Facing Mr. Huo's questioning, Zhan Yunsheng only said lightly,

"I don't know what I am, what I can do, I only know that you let me see that he loves me so much. I just liked him a little bit, but because of you, I have fallen in love with him now. Don't try to break up."

After the sound fell, Huo Xiang sneered angrily because of jealousy:
"No one wants to break up? Is that right? Let's wait and see. I want to see if your love for him can support you to the end."

For some reason, Zhan Yunsheng knew that Huo Xiang's words were angry, but Zhan Yunsheng just felt a trace of uneasiness that he had never felt before.

This uneasiness comes from her lack of confidence in their relationship, not from the pressure from the outside world.

After leaving Fantasy City, they didn't go shopping any more, but went straight back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, the man let her go to bed first, and he went to the study alone.

Zhan Yunsheng couldn't sleep, her mind was full of the lingering irritability from when the man left earlier, this irritability was something she couldn't relieve him of, and in a sense, she gave him a difficult situation.

If, without her, he could have married Huo Xiang, leaped into the dragon's gate and became a prominent upstart in Haicheng, and he could easily avenge his parents' blood.

But, for her, he put down his glory and wealth, slowed down the pace of avenging his parents, and even temporarily gave up on his only sister whose blood is thicker than water.

She couldn't help thinking, he was so irritable, it must be because he felt ashamed, right?

Because he chose her, he felt guilty towards his sister and towards his dead parents.

Thinking so wildly, Zhan Yunsheng felt more and more uncomfortable.

For the first time, she realized that the pressure on the shoulders of this man who chose to be with her was far more than what she had seen and imagined.

She couldn't fall asleep, so she got up and leaned against the head of the bed and sat quietly and deeply for a long time.

It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops were blown by the wind and slapped on the glass window, blocking her sight.

The world outside the window was blurred, and so was her inner world.

She didn't expect that for the first time in her life, she would be so melancholy because of a man.

She both wanted to be with him and was afraid of pushing him into a harder situation by being with her.

If everyone doesn't agree with them being together, how hard will it be for him?
Otherwise, break up while the relationship is not deep yet?

Thinking of breaking up, there was a deep pain in my heart, and even my eyes couldn't help becoming hot, and even shed tears.

Sadness and irritability stirred her heart together, Zhan Yunsheng hugged her knees and buried her face in them, unable to calm down for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, a man's almost stern scolding sound came from her ear, and she suddenly realized that she was hugging her knees like this and her legs were numb.

"Zhan Yunsheng, do you know the severity? Do you know that you will catch a cold and get sick like this?"

Zhan Yunsheng raised his head in a daze because of the sudden stern voice.

There were still wet drops in her eyes, she looked at the blurred face of the man in the dark vision, and pursed her lips, "Have you been drinking?"

The man didn't respond to her, he just leaned over and picked her up and laid her flat on the bed, then covered her with a quilt, his voice faintly exhausted:

"Don't think about it, go to bed early, tomorrow morning you have to catch the eight o'clock plane to Shengjing."

When he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Zhan Yunsheng hurriedly grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

She didn't know if she had adapted to the dark light, but she found that the man's eyes were very red, as if there was a ball of fire or a ball of blood that seemed to be overflowing from his eye sockets, which made him look very strong. aggressive.

His voice is gentle after restraining a certain emotion: "I'll get the quilt and make a bed next to you."

Originally, Jiang Xiaolin booked a presidential suite for Zhan Yunsheng next door, but after he met Mr. Huo tonight, he didn't dare to leave her alone anymore.

Therefore, he let Zhan Yunsheng live in his room, so that he could always protect her safety.

These are all Zhan Yunsheng knows.

However, it was because the man had done too much for her that she felt guilty and couldn't bear it. She didn't want him to sleep on the floor.

Therefore, after Jiang Xiaolin's voice fell, she said gently: "The bed is very big."

When the sound fell, she clearly heard the man's almost sarcastic laughter.

At this time, he turned around completely and bent down, a pair of red and thick phoenix eyes were right in front of her.
