Yan Xi said: "On the day of the engagement banquet, the first person to make trouble with Chu Xiong was Lao Xia. In a meeting with the Chu family later, Lao Xia also vetoed all the emergency plans the strongest. From the beginning to the end, he had only one direction, and repeatedly encouraged others to favor getting rid of the jade mine to reduce losses. ”

Huo Jin pursed her lips and said nothing, just looked at her with a faint smile, neither admitting nor denying it.

Yan Xi has been in the mall for a long time and understands his position, and she can't say that Lao Xia is a bad person. In the face of interests, to see who has higher ability, you can only blame Chu Xiong for not finding a firm ally and not firming up his own position.

She shook the document in her hand and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't say it now, we will meet in the future anyway." ”

Her face straightened again, and she said solemnly: "The second thing." Why should I take this out at the dinner table and let others know that I own the equity of the jade mine?"

Yan Xi still took the equity transfer letter and put it in front of Huo Jinshen.

This was a private investment, and she didn't want the Yan family to know that she privately owned the equity of the jade mine.

Right now, jade mining is a hot potato in the eyes of those people, but when the jade mine is mined in the future and knows that it is a high-quality mine, won't she be scolded to death?

Especially the old man, he must have thought that she had ill intentions and had colluded with Huo Jinshen earlier.

You know, the old man knew that the exploration report was fake, and he was reluctant to agree to withdraw at first, but she persuaded him.

Huo Jin glanced at her deeply, and her expression became serious. He sat up straight, his hands on the table, fingers clasped.

"Yan Xi, Chu Tianhao found someone to check the jade mine. ”

The man's quiet voice fell, like a boulder thrown into the lake, Yan Xi was stunned, his body couldn't help stiffening, and his face turned slightly pale.

Therefore, at the dinner table just now, Chu Tianhao suddenly asked Huo Jinshen such a question, not because he had no purpose, nor because he was jealous and dissatisfied......

Yan Xi's fingers clenched, and he kept guessing in his heart, at the previous meeting, Chu Tianhao had mentioned that he wanted to ask a foreign team of experts to investigate, but it was rejected, so he went to investigate privately.

Is he so insistent on keeping the jade mine and trusting his vision, or has someone told him that someone is laying out here?

So she...... Does Chu Tianhao know that she is also involved?

Also, when the jade mine was handed over, why didn't he expose it?

How much does he really know?

Once the old man knows that she, like Lao Xia, openly promotes the jade mine to be traded, and secretly participates in it, it will cause an uproar!

Huo Jin looked at Yan Xi's slightly pale face and continued: "I'm not sure how much Chu Tianhao knows, but when he asked that sentence, it means that he doesn't know anything. ”

"In front of so many people, I gave you the equity book as a gift, which is also to reduce your trouble in the future. Sooner or later, the jade mine will be mined, and once it is known that you have an equity, how are you going to explain it at that time?"

Yan Xi pursed her lips and nodded. What Huo Jinshen said made sense, and at that time, the source of the jade mine's equity would be explained. Including Lao Xia, he didn't know that she had invested in the purchase of shares.

This ten percent was given to her by Huo Jinshen privately under the witness of everyone.

At that time, some people suspected that in fact, she had colluded with Huo Jinshen early on, and she could not admit it. After all, this pot already has Lao Xia's back.

Moreover, the jade mine was not sold at a low price, and everyone did not lose money, and it could be regarded as following everyone's wishes.

In addition, Huo Jinshen gave her the equity, which was equivalent to appeasing the old man, so at the dinner just now, the old man was calm.

In this way, she didn't lose much, and Yan Xi calmed down. It's just that Chu Tianhao guessed whether he got the situation from someone, and she still needs to check this matter.

In fact, she already has a suspicion in her heart, if it is really Yan Tong, she has already warned her, although there is no accident at the moment, but Yan Tong must be waiting for that time. She also needs to be prepared in advance.

Yan Xi said: "I will find time to test Chu Tianhao and see how much he knows." ”

Huo Jinshen seemed to know that she would say this, and suddenly said: "Right now, although I gave you the equity book in the form of a gift. But if anyone doubts that this is the reward I have given you to be paid both inside and outside, how can you explain it?"

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, remembering that the five percent shares in it were originally the labor fees given to her by Huo Jinshen.

She vaguely guessed something, and her brow furrowed. "It seems that Mr. Huo has already thought of a solution for me?"

Huo Jin smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to explain to others, in fact, what you really can't explain is Yan Zhengyu." If you marry me, won't there be no problems?"

"Miss Yan, you are so smart, you shouldn't need me to explain it again, right?"

Yan Xi pulled the corner of his lower lip coldly: "Mr. Huo really has everything." ”

If they become husband and wife, it is reasonable for Huo Jinshen to give her all the equity, and Yan Zhengyu will not be able to help her.

performed his affectionate scene in front of everyone, and gave away equity, and by this time, she couldn't get out.

Huo Jinshen's body turned to the side, looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't say what I said for you just now, you weren't moved, I saw tears in your eyes." ”

Yan Xi glared at him: "How is it possible." ”

If she hadn't known that he was a heartless man, she might have been really moved. But his purpose was only to accomplish a purpose she didn't know.

Huo Jinshen stood up suddenly, her hands propped on the armrests of her seat, Yan Xi's eyes widened in fright, her body leaned back, and her entire back was attached to her backrest.

The distance between the two was extremely close, and Yan Xi looked at the enlarged face in front of him in a daze.

At such a close distance, it is difficult to see any flaws on his face, smooth skin, and it will make those women who wear masks every day sigh.

Yan Xi met his eyes, and his heartbeat seemed to speed up again.

This person's eyes are too deep, like a mysterious starry sky, which makes people can't see through and want to explore.

There is also that thin lip, glowing with a healthy pink, more than warm, a little thick and greasy, and a little too cool.

This person's appearance is a demon, but he doesn't look girly, but he is a mature man's steady masculinity, which makes it difficult to ignore such a appearance......

Realizing that he was actually indulging in a man's beauty, Yan Xi quickly came back to his senses, was not afraid of his gaze, pushed him and said, "What are you doing?"

The smile on the corner of Huo Jin's deep lips opened, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and he said, "Do you feel excited?"

Yan Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "If you get so close, everyone will be scared, right?"

Huo Jinshen's expression deepened, and he said, "Yan Xi, in fact, there is nothing wrong with having a man like me, isn't it?"

"It can be your shield in front of outsiders, and it can help you make money. If you feel that the marriage of the transaction will not go long, I can sign another prenuptial contract, and we will never divorce, so can you rest assured?"

Yan Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him fixedly. His expression couldn't have been more serious.

Never divorce, if it is someone who loves each other, it is normal to say such things. But for people who have no feelings, this is a shackle.

What is the reason why he would rather give up his life than make this deal with her?

Yan Xi couldn't figure it out.

She smiled and said, "A marriage guarantee that will never be divorced is really good." But I thought about it carefully, if I don't get divorced, a man can live with a woman outside as usual, so what has become of me?"

Huo Jin knew that Yan Xi was emotional, so he was reluctant to agree. On this issue, they do not agree on the three views, and they are also repeatedly entangled in this point.

He said: "Miss Yan has already experienced emotional betrayal, and she still dares to be persistent?"

Yan Xi couldn't refute him, pursed his lips and was silent.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, her jet-black eyelashes covered her emotions like crow's wings, and under the small bridge of her nose, her plump and moist lips bit slightly, like a seductive pink jelly.

She doesn't look amazingly beautiful, but her facial features are very harmonious, and there is no lack of heroism in her beauty.

And this woman, who has always been brave, is silent at this time.

Huo Jin looked at her deeply, and for some reason, she felt like she was being pulled in her heart, and even felt that she was talking too much.

No matter how strong she is, she is still a girl, there is no need to hit her like this.

What was the difference between him and those who attacked her?

Huo Jin's deep lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but Yan Xi spoke one step ahead of him. She raised her eyes and said with a serious face: "I don't know what Mr. Huo wants to do. But for me personally, I don't feel like I'm loveless in my life just because I've been hurt once. ”

"You said that we are actually similar people, I thought Mr. Huo could understand. Whether it is the Yan family or the Huo family, for us, it is not a home that really belongs to us, and there is no person who completely belongs to us, someone who can love us wholeheartedly and accept us. ”

"And I hope that there is one person who can have a home of his own and accompany me to old age. I can't find it, I'll keep looking. ”

Maybe she was too idealistic, but she was sure that such a marriage without divorce and emotion would not be the home she wanted.

"So Mr. Huo, I hope that you don't go to the Yan Mansion for the time being, I don't want to be used as a tool again. ”

After Yan Xi finished speaking, he picked up the equity book and left.

Huo Jin wrinkled her eyebrows deeply, looking at her back as she walked out, her eyes were complicated.

He has always admired her, admired her cleverness, appreciated her decisiveness.

And what he said just now hit him hard.

Once, he thought that he had found a home, someone cared about someone and someone was in pain, and he didn't have to worry about having no food to eat and no clothes to wear.

But blood told him that he was just a marginal person with the surname Huo.

Wen Nguyen was the one who depended on him for his life, and since her disappearance, he no longer trusted any family members.

Ke Yan Xi ...... She told him that she was still insisting on believing that there was a home of her own, was he too pessimistic?

This night, Huo Jinshen stayed in that hall for a long time. He looked at the photo he had taken for a long time, and a thought gradually came to his mind......

……

When Yan Xi returned to the Yan Mansion, the whole family was sitting around, and Old Man Yan changed his previous serious and upright face, and it was rare to smile kindly.

When Yan Xi went in, he seemed to be commanding something.

“…… Yan Xi's dowry last time can't be used, a character like Huo Jinshen...... Dowry can't be saved......"

Yan Xi walked into the hall: "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you are all here." ”

Shen Xiang looked at Yan Xi with a smile on his face, and there was still a little ambiguity in his eyes.

Yan Bei jumped over, grabbed Yan Xi's arm, leaned over and stared at her lips carefully.

Yan Xi looked at the little sister and frowned, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Bei smiled and said, "Look if your lips are swollen." Mr. Huo sent you the jade mine, and you came back so late......" The little girl laughed sheepishly.

Although Yan Xi didn't kiss Huo Jinshen or anything as they imagined, the scene where the two were close to each other inexplicably appeared in their minds.

She blushed, poked Yan Bei's forehead and pushed it away and said, "You are a little child, how can you understand so much." ”

"Hey, blushing, that's it?" Yan Bei's smile widened.

Shen Xiang looked at Yan Xi with joy, it seemed that it was really like what the old man said, something good was coming. She asked: "Xiaoxi, when will Mr. Huo come to our house, what does he like to eat, I should prepare first, and I must not neglect others." ”

A man who can buy a mine for Yan Xi's sake, the Yan family must put on the best posture to entertain him.

Yan Donglin was also happy and said, "Just now the old man came back and told me about your dinner. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Huo Jinshen. Yan Xi, he is really affectionate to you. ”

Yan Donglin felt that Huo Jinshen was the same as him, and he was a person who valued feelings. At the beginning, in order to marry Shen Makeup, he also used his shares in Yiyantang to marry Shen Makeup.

And Huo Jinshen is more courageous than him, and he actually bought a mine, just to slap those who say bad things about Yan Xi in the face.

It's a real pamper.

Yan Bei smiled: "Dad, those investors will definitely say it in the circle." At that time, everyone will know that the third sister of our family is not worthy of ordinary people. ”

That sentence was the original words that Huo Jinshen said at the dinner table, and the old man also said so at home, but Yan Xi knew that what the old man was really happy about was that Huo Jinshen helped him breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Xi smiled faintly, Huo Jin was very affectionate, I don't know what he would think when he heard it, and how he would act.

However, when she saw that Yan Tong was so angry that she gritted her teeth and couldn't attack, she thought she was quite funny.

The old man looked at Yan Xi and said, "When Mr. Huo is free, you tell your mother in advance, don't neglect others." ”

Yan Xi said: "Grandpa, Huo Jinshen has just taken over the jade mine, so he should be very busy during this time." ”

"Well, that's true. Yan Zhengyu nodded, his eyes flashed a little brightly, and he said in a consultative tone, "Yan Xi, this mine is a good mine, now that Huo Jin has won it, if our Yan family invests in it again, do you think it is still possible?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Xi with a little nervousness. The Yan family has withdrawn and got rid of it, is Huo Jinshen willing to share this pie with others?

Yan Donglin also said: "Yes, this mine was originally promising. It's a shame to just give up. ”

Shen Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Yan Xi, Mr. Huo attaches so much importance to you, can you speak?"

Although Shen Makeup asked, his tone was already affirmative.

She couldn't say anything in this house, and Yan Xi was also angry. At this time, if you can show it, it can be regarded as raising your eyebrows.

Yan Xi didn't care much, she thought for a while and said, "If grandpa really wants to invest again, when will Huo Jinshen come next time, you can talk to him." ”

"But ......"

Yan Zhengyu heard that there was hope, and immediately asked, "But what?"

Yan Xi said: "Grandpa, think about it, now in front of those 'allies', it is because you know that the mine is an inferior mine, so you will withdraw your capital together." But in the blink of an eye, you ask for another investment, what do those friends think of you?"

Yan Xi paused, tapped his fingers on the table and said word by word: "Perhaps, they will think that you are the one who betrayed them." ”

When the old man heard this, his breath tightened, yes, he couldn't take the blame for that careerist.

Yan Xi saw that the old man hesitated, and continued: "Huo Jinshen is from Liangcheng, and he is a guest in Jiangcheng. But you are the old rivers and lakes of Jiangcheng, those old rivers and lakes, can you continue to communicate with our Yan family in the future?"

Yan Zhengyu's brows were furrowed, it was impossible to do business without dealing with others. But the reputation of this betrayal of his allies spread, and who will do business with him in the future.

He sighed, as if he was unwilling.

Yan Xi said: "Grandpa, in fact, if you think about it, you still made a hundred percent from the jade mine, and you didn't lose money, but you just earned a little less." ”

"It's a lot less money!" the old man glared at her, unable to be completely reconciled.

Yan Xi said: "Actually, if grandpa must join, you can wait until the mine is opened." At that time, everyone knows that the mine is a good mine, and you will invest in the shares, but at that time the shares will be much higher than now, of course, the profit will definitely be earned. ”

At this time, Yan Xi, for the sake of what may happen in the future, has to lay a good foundation first, and he is not blushing and his heart is not beating, and he is dedicated to making ideas for Yan Zhengyu.

Yan Zhengyu glanced at Yan Xi deeply, and still agreed with what she said.

She has always been steady and thoughtful, otherwise she would not have been able to deal with this matter.

The old man wanted to make money, but he didn't want to offend those old rivers and lakes, so after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It seems that it can only be as you say." ”

Yan Bei saw that the atmosphere was solemn, and smiled to adjust the atmosphere. She said, "I kind of get it." Third sister, you haven't married yet, so you will help Mr. Huo first. Don't think I don't understand, you want to help Mr. Huo make more money, are you sorry for the equity he gave you?"

When it came to equity, Yan Xi glanced at Yan Zhengyu. The old man didn't care about the ten percent equity in her hand, he was still afraid of Huo Jinshen and what she would say.

Yan Xi exhausted his life's acting skills, and said with guilt on his face: "Beibei, you haven't entered the society yet, and you still don't understand many things." ”

"The jade mine is a business matter, and Huo Jinshen and I have personal feelings, so we can't mix them up. If something happens to Yiyantang due to emotional influence, my grandfather and I can't explain it to them. ”

Yan Bei frowned and stopped talking, in the end, the third sister is for the Yan family and for Yiyantang.

Yan Zhengyu said: "Yan Xi, you are kind to Mr. Huo." He's alone, so you take care of him more. ”

Yan Xi could only stubbornly agree: "I know, grandpa." ”

At this time, Yan Tong, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke. She said: "Yan Xi, you already have such a deep relationship with Mr. Huo, why do you still call him Huo Jinshen?"

She smiled faintly, softly, but with a needle hidden. "Aren't all couples called intimate?"

She had been paying attention to it just now, and found that Yan Xi had always directly said Huo Jinshen's name, and she had followed others to call him Mr. Huo before.

Is this what couples should have?

After she said this, Yan Zhengyu remembered that at the dinner table, Yan Xi called Mr. Huo in front of everyone, and he was still more rusty than Huo Jinshen. At that time, the two also had a tender and sweet relationship.

Yan Xi glanced at the old man, and then said to Yan Tong: "This is a personal matter between me and Huo Jinshen, why should I tell it to others in front of outsiders." Some people may think it doesn't matter, but that's how my personality is. ”

Yan Zhengyu was already distressed about the less money he earned, and when he heard Yan Tong say this, he was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

They sat here and talked so much, she didn't learn how Yan Xi did things, and she knew how to inquire about other people's affections.

The old man glanced at Yan Tong angrily, he had just beaten her, but he still didn't have a long memory and couldn't tolerate people.

He said: "I think this is very good, Huo Jinshen did not officially visit our Yan family, and the friendship with us is not very deep, do you want her to call Jinshen in front of us, or what?

"You said that you are the eldest lady of our Yan family, why can't you understand this truth?"

You must know that Yan Tong's character outside is the eldest granddaughter of the Yan family, who is generous and magnanimous, like a peony. But in private, a mouth leaks the bottom.

Yan Tong originally wanted to embarrass Yan Xi, but he didn't expect to attract the old man's scolding, so he closed his mouth aggrievedly, and hated Yan Xi even more in his heart.

At the same time, she was even more panicked. Will the old man be more serious about Yan Xi after this time?

The old man was too lazy to take care of Yan Tong at this time, he was more concerned about one more unresolved matter.

He looked at Yan Xi and said, "The jade mine has already been sold, you said before that you would find out the careerist who leaked the exploration results, do you have eyebrows now?"

Yan Xi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and his heart surged.

The person is Lao Xia, she is already very sure, but whether to say it or not?

If she said Lao Xia, firstly, there was no real evidence, and secondly, the jade mine had already changed hands, and it didn't make much sense to say it, and if she did, it would just let the old man scold Chu Xiong for a few words.

It's better to wait until it's more appropriate......

Yan Xi said: "I also learned today that the person who bought the jade mine was Huo Jinshen, and it will take a while." After all, Huo Jinshen gave me equity, and I will always meet it in the future, and at that time, I can be more sure. ”

The old man nodded, said nothing more, and was about to leave when he heard Yan Xi's cold voice sound.

"By the way, I heard Huo Jinshen mention something today......" she said, her eyes looking at Yan Tong.
