When it was time for dinner, Ye Beisheng still hadnât calmed down. She asked someone to send food to her room.
After Uncle Zhang delivered the food, he happened to bump into Lin Zhen on his way out.
Ye Beisheng didnât want to eavesdrop, but they were talking right outside her room, so it was hard not to hear.
Uncle Zhang looked at Lin Zhenâs expression and asked, âDeputy Lin, what happened? Why do you look so serious?â
Ye Beisheng subconsciously pricked up her ears. Lin Zhen was Huo Xitings subordinate. Did something happen to Huo Xiting?
âXie Lan went to the Huo family again.â Lin Zhen shook his head.
Uncle Zhang was silent for a while before sighing. âWhat did he say this time?â
Lin Zhen pursed his lips. âHe said that the Ninth master went against him at the auction. Xie Lan has always been able to put himself in an innocent position and make everyone believe him. This time, it wasnât the Ninth master who went against him. It was clearly himâ¦â
Uncle Zhangs tone also became desolate. âThatâs right. As long as Xie Lan said a few words, everyone would believe him. The Ninth masterâs heart was also broken because of thisâ¦â
Ye Beisheng felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
What Lin Zhen and Uncle Zhang meant was that Xie Lan had always used some tricks to drive a wedge between Huo Xiting and the Huo family.
That was why Huo Xiting was worried that Xie Lan would use the same trick again and deceive her. Was he afraid that she would believe Xie Lan like the Huo Family?
It was because he had always been the one who was suspected, so heâ¦
Ye Beisheng leaned against the door, wondering if she had gone too far. She had argued with Huo Xiting for so long just because of a few words.
Moreover, Huo Xiting had a reason for saying so.
After the two left, Ye Beisheng carefully opened the door. As soon as she stepped out, she met Lin Longs dazed gaze.
âLin Long, whereâs Huo Xiting?â Ye Beisheng asked without thinking.
Lin Long was very conflicted, and he didnât even know where to look. âIn the restaurantâ¦â
Ye Beisheng nodded and quickly walked downstairs.
âUm, Madam!
Lin Long suddenly stuttered and Ye Beisheng turned around in confusion.
He forced an ugly smile and reminded her tactfully, âMenâ¦You canât believe them!â
Who would have thought that the Ninth master would do such a trick to make up with his wife?
Lin Long listened to the entire conversation between Uncle Zhang and his cousin, even though the content of the conversation was real.
However, this conversation happened to be said at the door of Madamâs room and was heard by Madam.
He didnât know that the Ninh master was so scheming!
Lin Longwas afraid that he would lose his salary if he said too much. He looked solemn and sorrowful. âIn shortâ¦. Men are not good people. They are full of lies and pretend to be pitiful. If you look at them carefully, you will know!
Ye Beisheng was speechless.
Men are not good?
Is it really okay for you to scold yourself like this?
Ye Beisheng saw that there was only a small light in the dining room.
Huo Xiting sat at the dining table, his eyes unfocused.
Ye Beishengâs heart suddenly tightened, and it hurt.
He couldnât see!
This weak light was useless to Huo Xiting. He was now a blind man who could not see anything!
âWhereâs Uncle Zhang?â Ye Beisheng quickly walked over. âWhy didnât you turn on the lights, Huo Xitingâ¦â
âl wanted it off.â
The man looked lonely, his lips pale, and his eyes moved listlessly as if he was looking for her. âWhy are you here?â
Ye Beishengs heart ached.â Why havenât you eaten a single bite? Huo Xiting, 1 didnât mean to be angry with you today. lâ¦â
âItâs alright.â
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiting smiled faintly and said in a desolate voice, âIâm used to it.â
Lin Long was speechless.
F*ck, since when is the Ninth Master so good at acting?
