My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 972 Choose Him or Me
"Since he's here, let's meet him. Mr. Huo, please make room for me. I need to have a good talk with our old man."
Huo Xingzhou stood up and took Qiao Xi to the restaurant. "I brought back all the food you wanted to eat. I asked Aunt Qian to prepare it for you. You haven't rested well these two days, so eat more if you can. I will be at home with you every day from now on."
"it is good."
Sun Weimeng wanted to stay and watch the fun, but was also carried away by Lao Chen.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Wan Jiang invited the old man of the Zhong family in.
The old man still looked very bad, and he was trembling when he walked, and needed the support of the housekeeper. He must have been injured on the day at the fork in the road, and more probably from the internal strife in the Zhong family.
He was uneasy.
The old man of the Zhong family sat opposite Zhong Yi and looked at his expression.
He had never seen Zhong Yi since the last time. He only heard about him from outsiders. After he was discharged from the hospital, he did not return to the Zhong family, but ran to the home of his rival.
The old man knew Zhong Yi's temper. He would rather stay here than go back, which meant that this time he was really separated from the Zhong family.
He also felt a little regretful.
I'm used to being in a superior position and giving orders.
He had other plans when he asked Zhong Yi to let Zhong Lingxiao go, and he really didn't consider his feelings. After thinking about it for a while, he was a little flustered.
I am really worried that Zhong Yi will completely abandon the Zhong family.
After waiting for a few days, he couldn't wait any longer, so he came here.
Fortunately, the child was still willing to see him.
However, Old Master Zhong understood his character. If he didn't want to see them, it meant that he still hated the Zhong family, and that he cared about the Zhong family.
He actually wanted to meet her, which made him confused.
"Wan Jiang, pour the old man a glass of water. The Huo family doesn't like to drink tea, so I'll follow the host's wishes. There's only warm water here, if you want to drink it, drink some, if you don't like it, don't drink it." Zhong Yi's attitude was very obvious.
He no longer tried to please the old man carefully.
"I'm not here for tea." The old man looked at his familiar handsome face and said, "How is your injury? Did Doctor Qiao say it can be cured?"
"Are you asking this to assess how much value I still have?"
Zhong Yi's tone was very bad.
He held a water cup in his hand and said to Wan Jiang, "Peel an apple for me. I'm a little hungry. I was tired after a night's work and was just about to rest when someone showed up."
The old man is very overbearing in everything he does and in everything he does, and he has never spoken nicely like this.
He also knew what happened last night.
But he never thought that Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou could really overthrow the Pei family. The old man was not happy about the fall of the Pei family. He was afraid that one day the giant Zhong family would also fall.
It is so easy for them to bring down a noble family.
"I came here today just to see you. You don't have to hurt me with those thorny words. After all, we are blood relatives. Even if I have done many seemingly inhumane things for the Zhong family, I still have a sense of affection for you."
Zhong Yi almost laughed when he heard his words, "Then I thank you for your charity."
The old housekeeper couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Young Master, the old master is very concerned about you. He is worried about your health and can't eat or sleep. Please at least take care of me..."
"Are you worried about me or Zhong Lingxiao?" Zhong Yi was a little impatient. "Just tell me what you want to say. I feel uncomfortable with you beating around the bush. You guys are wasting my time."
For him, seeing the old man was better than having breakfast with Qiao Xi.
The old man realized that Zhong Yi was really alienated from him.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
But it did not show that desolation and fragility.
"I came here for two things."
He still had that commanding tone, "First, I want you to return to the Zhong family. Take over the Zhong family's business. From now on, the Zhong family will be handed over to you. I will no longer ask about the Zhong family's affairs. You will be fully responsible."
"Your tone is like a gift. I fought with Zhong Lingxiao for so long but couldn't get it, so you gave it to me so easily? Or do you have no choice but to let me clean up the mess? Unfortunately, I don't want to clean it up. Tell me the second reason you came here."
"This is the most important thing! You are a descendant of the Zhong family. Do you want to watch the Zhong family being cannibalized?"
"I am just an illegitimate child, a illegitimate child that you took back as a stepping stone. If it weren't for my good fortune, I would have died long ago. Do you think I still have some feelings for the Zhong family? Old Master, when did you become so naive?"
Zhong Yi laughed wantonly and ostentatiously.
To be honest, he has a vengeful mentality.
A person who is high and mighty in power is described as worthless here.
"You...you really don't want the hundreds of years of Zhong family's fortune?"
“There’s so much money and it’s hard to spend it all.”
"You don't have any power at all, so how can you protect the people you want to protect?"
"She already has a home."
I like to watch those who are stubborn and unyielding.
Old Master Zhong almost fainted from anger. How could there be such a stubborn guy? He had already bowed his head, so didn't this kid know to give the old man some face?
"Please tell me the second thing quickly. I also want to try the breakfast that Huo Xingzhou brought back."
The old man took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Where is Ling Xiao?"
Zhong Yi showed an expression of "as expected" and said with a hint of mockery: "Are you really coming to pick him up? It's a pity that I didn't know either."
"How could you not know!"
"Huo Xingzhou locked people up, how could I know?"
"Don't play dumb. I asked about his whereabouts not because I wanted him to return to the Zhong family. I just wanted to save his life. It's not good to have the blood of your brothers on your hands."
"Don't say such high-sounding words to me."
Zhong Yi sat in a wheelchair with a smile on his face. "Let me ask you a question. If you have to choose between me and Zhong Lingxiao, who will you choose? You'd better think it over before answering. I'm not kidding."
He only gave him one chance.
I will never ask again.
Old Master Zhong didn't waste any words. He looked at Zhong Yi and said, "You and I are both made of flesh. If you ask me to choose, I naturally can't. But if you ask me to choose for the future of the Zhong family, I will naturally choose you."
He has been thinking about the glory and interests of the Zhong family all his life.
Choose whoever is more valuable.
"That's just like you."
Zhong Yi sighed, "But the resentment in my heart is hard to get rid of."
Old Master Zhong knew that he had a condition, and he also understood that as long as he fulfilled this condition, Zhong Yi would take over the burden of the Zhong family.
Who could have thought that the Zhong family's property would become such a hot potato that he would have to beg to give it to others.
"Tell me, what are the conditions?"
