Xia Sheng compared the timeline of the incident. There were no links in the information, but a detail caught her attention. Both her parents and Huo Ye’s parents had died in a car accident, this made her suspicious. At this point of the investigation, she sneered. “Ha, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?”

However, after the car accident, Huo Ye’s legs were disabled, and her mother was taken away by her maiden family. Her father did not manage to save her, and she was left alone at that time. No one cared about her.

In her scattered memories, Xia Sheng remembered that she was brought home by her aunt, but it was a pity that she did not live a good life for long. After getting out of her memories, Xia Sheng’s doubts deepened. However, there were no details of the accident in the information, so she could not find it even if she wanted to.

After investigating for half a night, Xia Sheng’s eyes were sore, but she could not get any more details. Helpless, she could only secretly remember it in her heart and decided to go to the Capital to ask Song Mingyuan to help investigate. Even so, she was really not used to having to rely on others for everything, so she continued to look through the information.

In the middle of the night, the study room was lit up and a petite figure was busy working on the desk. After an unknown period of time, the tapping on the keyboard stopped, and the figure actually fell asleep on the table.

The door of the study room suddenly opened and a strong figure walked in. However, the person’s legs seemed to be a little shaky and he didn’t seem to be walking properly.

Huo Ye walked straight to the desk and saw that Xia Sheng was sleeping soundly. He could not help but sigh. “Why are you sleeping here? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”

In the end, he could not bear to wake Xia Sheng up. He personally carried her up and decided to move her back to the bedroom.

However, Xia Sheng was not in a deep sleep. When her body was in the air, she woke up with a start. She opened her eyes groggily and realized that she was in Huo Ye’s arms. She obediently wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed against his chest before falling asleep again.

When Xia Sheng woke up, Huo Ye’s body had already stiffened, but Xia Sheng’s series of actions made him not know whether to laugh or cry. He hugged the woman in his arms tightly again and shook his head helplessly.

In the morning, Huo Ye’s biological clock woke him up, he got up carefully. Xia Sheng, who was lying beside him, was sleeping soundly, he could not bear to wake her up. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Huo Ye’s eyebrows twitched as he took his phone and left the bedroom.

The person who made the call was Old Master Huo. It was early in the morning and he didn’t care about Huo Ye’s condition at all, it was as if he was rushing for his life.

Huo Ye hesitated and did not pick up the phone. The ringtone stopped abruptly, and a few seconds later, the other party continued to call. Helpless, he could only answer the call. “What’s the matter?”

“Come and see me at Yue Xin Tea House.” Old Master Huo went straight to the point and hung up the phone after reporting the location. He didn’t give Huo Ye any chance to reject him.

Huo Ye’s eyes darkened and he suddenly laughed. Then, he made breakfast for Xia Sheng as if nothing had happened and left a note before he left. It was to prevent Xia Sheng from throwing a tantrum when she woke up and realized that he had disappeared again.

Old Master Huo was getting impatient from waiting. When he saw that Huo Ye was late, he reprimanded him unhappily, “Why did you take so long?”

“You came looking for me early in the morning, but I can’t possibly come out in my pajamas,” Huo Ye retorted indifferently, his attitude showing that he was not in a good mood.

Unfortunately, Old Master Huo was preoccupied and didn’t pay much attention to Huo Ye.

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Huo Ye didn’t think that Old Master Huo had anything good to say to him this early in the morning. The last time they had a fight at the Huo family, it was already good enough that they didn’t quarrel when they met just now.

“The price of acquiring the Huo Corporation’s shares is too low. Get Xia Sheng to get the price back up.” Old Master Huo held back his anger. The price of the shares that Xia Sheng had bought was ridiculously low, it was a losing deal.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ye looked up with a cold and mocking gaze. “Impossible, there’s no room for negotiation.”

“You!” Old Master Huo was furious. He slammed his palm on the table. “You unfilial son, don’t forget that you’re also a member of the Huo family, the Huo family’s blood is in you!”

Huo Ye did not hold back and retorted coldly, “I wish I wasn’t a member of the Huo family. Even if I was born into a poor family, I would still be tens of thousands of times better than now.”

Just as Old Master Huo was about to continue making things difficult, Xia Sheng hurriedly knocked open the door of the private room. “I think your Huo family doesn’t want to live anymore!”

When she woke up early in the morning, she did not see Huo Ye but she saw the note he left behind, and she rushed over without thinking. After arriving, she was stopped by the Huo Family at the entrance, she was so flustered that her heart was pounding. She was afraid that Huo Ye would be bullied by these blood-sucking bugs again.

Xia Sheng quickly glanced at Huo Ye and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was unharmed, she then glared at Old Master Huo. “Old man, if you dare to bully my husband again and criticize him in front of me, I’ll confiscate your house!” She was fearless like a general on the battlefield, her aura was extremely strong.

Old Master Huo was so angry that he clutched his chest. His face was so red that he couldn’t say a word.

Xia Sheng did not care if Old Master Huo would get angry. She walked quickly to Huo Ye and asked, “What were you two talking about just now?”

“Old Master Huo thinks that the Huo Corporation isn’t happy about being bought over at a low price, so he wants you to give them some benefits for the sake of the two families.” Huo Ye smiled faintly and exposed Old Master Huo’s thoughts. As for what Xia Sheng chose, he had no right to interfere, nor would he help Old Master Huo persuade Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng raised her eyebrows and glared at Old Master Huo aggressively. She said sarcastically, “Do I have to listen to you just because you want to add more money? Let me tell you, if you continue talking nonsense, I’ll make the Huo family sleep on the bridge!”

Old Master Huo could not win against Xia Sheng and left in a huff.

When they were about to leave, Xia Sheng did not forget to add another stab. “You have to pass on all my words. I’m a man of my word. If I’m in a bad mood one day, I can do anything!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Master Huo staggered and almost fell down the stairs.

There was no one in the private room. The assistant couldn’t help but complain, “Boss, why do I feel like you’re living off a woman?”

Huo Ye smiled lightly. “I like to live off women. Why?”

“No, feel free to eat whatever you want.” The assistant was full of admiration for Huo Ye. To be able to say such words so calmly, his skin was extraordinarily thick.

“However, I only eat off my wife.” Huo Ye did not forget to show off his affection in front of his assistant, emphasizing that he was not a shameless person.

The assistant was speechless. He sighed silently and prepared to be a mute..
