Zhu Jin turned around and slapped Zhu Yuan's proud face cleanly. Red and swollen fingerprints immediately appeared on her fair face.

Zhu Yuan covered her face and looked at Zhu Jin in disbelief, her eyes almost bursting with anger. She took two steps forward and raised her hand, but Zhu Jin held it tightly.

The pain in her wrist made Zhu Yuan's face twist, and she gritted her teeth and uttered two words, "Zhu Jin!"

"You bitch!"

"Snapped."

Another sharp slap made Zhu Yuan's face tilt to one side. The anger in her eyes was instantly taken over by shock, "You!"

"Think it over before you speak, otherwise I won't mind giving you another slap." Zhu Jin said calmly.

Zhu Yuan was frightened and took two steps back, with fear in her eyes. She knew that the other party was not joking with her.

Zhu Yuan had to swallow the words she wanted to curse again, "I just remind you, Zhu Jin, don't hug the wrong thigh. No matter how good Huo Jingcheng is, no one knows how long he can live. If you want to gain a foothold in the Huo family, you have to Stand with the team.”

"Don't think Huo Jingcheng can protect you for the rest of your life."

After leaving these words, Zhu Yuan seemed to be frightened and left in a hurry.

Zhu Jin looked at her back and remembered that Zhu Chen was imprisoned and that she was taken to Huo Jingcheng's ward by her friend after listening to Gao Weilan's words.

She originally thought that Mr. Huo felt sorry for his grandson and had calculated his horoscopes in private before letting her go. But now it seems that this matter is not as simple as she thought before.

Who could be from the Huo family?

What does that person want him to do?

Zhu Jin's thoughts were racing until the man's tall figure enveloped her whole body.

"What are you thinking about?" A low and hoarse voice came from in front of him, and a faint fragrance hit his nostrils.

"It's okay." Zhu Jin didn't want to reveal too much here. After all, she didn't know whether there was surveillance here.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Zhu Jin took the initiative to hold Huo Jingcheng's hand and led him into the box.

There was something vague and unclear in the man's obsidian eyes.

In the private room, Gao Weilan was softly comforting Zhu Yuan, whose cheeks were red and swollen, and her voice suddenly became louder when Zhu Jin and Zhu Jin came back.

"We are sisters after all, why are we so harsh?" Gao Weilan complained.

Zhu Yuan huddled in Gao Weilan's arms and sobbed softly.

Zhu Chen did not interrupt or persuade.

Zhu Jin led Huo Jingcheng to sit down and looked at Gao Weilan with a smile, "Ms. Gao, why don't you ask what my half-sister said."

"She is just young and ignorant." Gao Weilan argued, "Jinjin, as a sister, you should give way to your sister."

The educational words made Zhu Jin sneer coldly.

Who is Gao Weilan, is she worthy of talking to him like this?

"Then I will repeat what she just said here. Ms. Gao will listen and see if my slap is correct?"

Zhu Yuan was immediately anxious upon hearing this, and hurriedly grabbed the hand of Gao Weilan, who still wanted to stand up for her, "No, no need."

"My fault, I said the wrong thing. She deserved to hit me." Zhu Yuan was afraid that Zhu Jin would say what she just said in front of Huo Jingcheng, the King of Hell, so she had to squeeze out a few words.

Gao Weilan frowned and was about to speak. Zhu Chen, who had been silent all this time, coughed twice and glared at Gao Weilan pretending to be reproachful. "Okay, if you go out to eat, it's delicious. Why don't you say there's nothing there?"

Zhu Chen and Xi Ni said, "Jin Jin, don't mind. Your stepmother is just too worried about Yuanyuan. Now that you are married into the Huo family, you still have to restrain your temper."

Zhu Jin sneered in his heart. Now it seems that the equality he thought before was just partiality and mud.

If Zhu Yuan makes a mistake, then both of them are wrong. If she makes a mistake, then only she is at fault.

However, Zhu Jin was too lazy to worry about anything, and it was difficult to talk to such a partial father.

Huo Jingcheng suddenly hugged Zhu Jin into his arms and behaved affectionately, "I think she has a good temper and doesn't need to restrain herself."

The warm embrace and the man's obvious attitude of speaking up for him made Zhu Jin's heart warm. Since his mother's death, no one has been on his side anymore.

The smile on Zhu Chen's face froze, then returned to normal, "Second Master is right."

"You've already returned to the door, so we'll go back first."

After Huo Jingcheng finished speaking, he took Zhu Jin and left without waiting for Zhu Chen and others to react.

After Huo Jingcheng left, Zhu Chen's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He has been in the shopping mall for many years, when has he ever been humiliated like this, not to mention that the other person is just a junior!

But the other party was Huo Jingcheng, and Zhu Chen was not at all unhappy in front of him, so he had to vent his anger on other people around him.

"Next time, think about what you should and shouldn't say before you speak!" After saying that, Zhu Chen left directly, leaving only the mother and daughter Gao Weilan with ugly expressions.

In a black Bugatti, Huo Jingcheng took a thick stack of documents from Assistant Chen and read through them with his legs crossed.

"The current investigation shows that the person who came into contact with Gao Weilan was the person from the fourth room." Assistant Chen explained, "The old man also left the wedding to the people from the fourth room, but."

Assistant Chen glanced at Zhu Jin and then lowered his head, "The arrangement of the wedding room was ordered by the third lady."

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng responded coldly, focusing on the information in front of him and not noticing Zhu Jin's eyebrows frowning slightly beside him.

Zhu Jin leaned against the car door and looked out. When she found that the car was not going to the hospital but to the Huo family's old house, she was surprised and said, "Aren't you going back to the hospital?"

Huo Jingcheng had planned to continue pretending to be sick in the hospital. Wouldn't he expose anything by returning to Huo's house so early?

"Go back to the Huo family." Huo Jingcheng said without raising his head. "It's just an excuse to go back because of the celebration. After all, their good intentions will not be in vain."

This excuse is really clever, using those people's methods to slap them in the face, leaving them speechless.

Zhu Jin had to mentally sigh that Huo Jingcheng was so calculating.

In order not to disturb Huo Jingcheng, Zhu Jin quietly lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.

The car soon arrived at the Huo family's old house.

Huo Jingcheng didn't tell anyone in advance, so when he and Zhu Jin got out of the car, the servants in the Huo family were stunned for a moment, and the next second they rushed to tell each other.

In less than a minute, everyone in the Huo family's old house knew the news of Huo Jingcheng's return.

Mr. Huo even rushed back from the Huo Group. He held Huo Jingcheng's hand and looked him up and down, his eyes full of heartache, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

"Grandpa, I'm fine." Huo Jingcheng put his hand on the back of Mrs. Huo's hand and patted it twice.

Mr. Huo looked at the mask on Huo Jingcheng's face. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, so he had to change the topic, "Why are you so anxious to come back? Do you really not need to stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation?"

"No. The doctor said that I am recovering well and can go home to recuperate. I just need to remember to take my medicine on time."

"That's good." Mr. Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the joy has really worked. Yesterday my niece-in-law just came in, and today Jingcheng is fine."
