Huo Yunzheng glanced at her and said, "I didn't make myself clear when I talked to you at the old house last time. It's my fault. Now that you're here, let's take this opportunity to have a good talk."

The tone was very cold, as if he was treating a stranger.

Chen Xinru's smile gradually faded, and she had a bad feeling. The last time he told her in the old house, the wedding could not take place.

At that time, I thought he was just too busy with work to take care of marriage, but now it seems that the situation is even worse.

Huo Yunzheng faced her, "Xinru, we are not suitable. I admit that I did not make my attitude clear in the past. I did have the idea of ​​giving this marriage a try. It was my lack of clarity that delayed you. I am very sorry."

Chen Xinru was stunned. She didn't want to hear such an apology.

Chen Xinru forced a smile and changed the subject, "Is it because you are too busy with work? You don't have to worry about the wedding, I will prepare it."

She could design her own wedding plan and take care of everything for him without him having to put in any effort.

"This wedding cannot be held, and we will not get married. I will explain to Grandpa, and I will also bear the impact on you. You can rest assured that no one in the entire Jing City dares to say a word about you."

Chen Xinru looked at him, feeling aggrieved. She had risked being scolded by her father and came all the way from Beijing alone. How could he treat her like this?

This marriage was tacitly agreed by both families, how could he change his mind just like that? She had already let the news out, and those socialites kept calling her Mrs. Huo, how could she end it?

As Chen Xinru spoke, her eyes fell on the photo frame on his desk.

There was a wooden photo frame, and she didn't know whose photo was on it. She was curious and reached out to take it.

Huo Yunzheng was one step faster than her and put the photo frame into the drawer.

Being so defensive, Chen Xinru couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

"Huo Yunzheng, do you have another woman?"

Huo Yunzheng did not admit it.

"Xinru, the incompatibility between us is not just a matter between the two of us. You know, I want to take Ziyan with me. To you, Ziyan is a burden, and to me, you are not suitable to be Ziyan's mother."

Chen Xinru was stunned. Could it be that he discovered something?

She had obviously done a good job. She also played the role of a future stepmother to Huo Ziyan in front of outsiders. Could it be that the child said something to Huo Yunzheng?

It shouldn't be like this.

Huo Yunzheng looked at Chen Xinru, "I know this will hurt you..."

Chen Xinru didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted him directly, "The marriage was arranged by Grandpa Huo, I only listen to Grandpa Huo."

After saying that, Chen Xinru turned and left.

It doesn’t matter what Huo Yunzheng’s attitude is, as long as Grandpa Huo recognizes her, she will be the future wife of the Huo family.

It was indeed a coincidence that she saved Grandpa Huo at the banquet, but her and her father's careful planning and step-by-step strategy were all for this position, and she would never give up.

In the bar, Huo Yunzheng drank four glasses of wine in a row.

Lin Ze and Lu Yiming looked at each other.

Chen Xinru suddenly came to Shanghai to find Huo Yunzheng. They already knew that the woman was also a trouble.

"Second brother, I have something to say. You may not want to hear it, but I have to say it now." Lin Ze looked at Huo Yunzheng, his eyes full of worry.

"You can't keep it a secret from your sister-in-law forever. You can keep it a secret for a while, but not forever. The Huo family and the Chen family will find out sooner or later."

Lu Yiming didn't say anything, but he agreed with Lin Ze.

The Huo family is already arranging the wedding. Mr. Huo has decided on Chen Xinru as his daughter-in-law. Even though the second brother has already expressed his attitude towards Chen Xinru, what if Mr. Huo and the Chen family refuse to give in...

The wedding is only a few months away. What should I do then?

"Brother, you should understand what my sister-in-law will face once her affairs are exposed. If she is discovered, Chen Xinru will eat her alive, not to mention the monsters of the Huo family."

Huo Yunzheng's pupils shrank sharply.

He was plotted against by the Huo family, who quietly poisoned him. If Qiao Chuchu was known by the Huo family...

During this period, he had seen how much his second brother cared for his younger sister-in-law.

But he also didn't understand how two people who had no connection with each other before, got married in such a hurry, and became so inseparable after such a short time together.

Perhaps it was because of fate that my sister-in-law was the one who could truly enter my second brother's heart.

"I'll go back first." Huo Yunzheng put down the wine glass and didn't say anything else.

Lu Yiming hit Lin Ze, "Are you still worried that your second brother can't protect your little sister-in-law?"

"Do you think the Chen family is a simple family? The old guy Chen Zongzhi is restless and wants to get into the business circle. He is very ambitious. My sister-in-law has taken the position that Chen Xinru wanted. If they knew, would my sister-in-law still have a chance to survive? It's better to be safe than sorry."

Lu Yiming looked at him and felt for the first time that this boy was not so stupid.

Lin Ze raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. "My sister-in-law is a good person. Unlike us, she could have lived a simple and stable life. Even if she entered the Huo family in the future, I'm afraid the elders of the Huo family would not treat her well. Why should she suffer this injustice?"

Lu Yiming looked at him and knew that he was thinking of someone from the past.

Inside Wenxiu Garden.

When Huo Yunzheng returned home, he saw Qiao Chuchu curled up and sleeping on the sofa. He called her and told her that he would be a little busy today and asked her to go to bed early and not to wait for him.

He walked over, squatted beside the sofa, and gently touched her cheek with his fingertips.

"You're back." Qiao Chuchu opened her eyes, her voice still a little hoarse. She got up in a daze and smelled the alcohol on him.

"Did you go to a social event?" Qiao Chuchu looked at Huo Yunzheng, "I'll go get you a cup of honey water, or you'll have a headache tomorrow."

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen, she was hugged.

"What's wrong? Are you wronged? Who did you meet today? Is business in the store not going well?"

A series of questions, all showing concern for him.

Huo Yunzheng hugged her tightly. Over the years, from starting his own business to taking over the Yunxi Group, meeting clients, discussing cooperation, and attending countless social events, he had drunk a lot of alcohol and vomited many times, and most of the time he had to bear it all by himself.

"It's okay, honey, hold me for a while."

Qiao Chuchu laughed out loud, "Okay, hug me."

Huo Yunzheng hugged her and felt relieved. He knew what he would face when he had a showdown with Chen Xinru today. However, he swore that he would never let Qiao Chuchu get hurt.

He can protect her, as long as he is still alive, he can keep her safe.
