C402 The Power of the Huo Family
Cheng Muze's eyelids twitched. "Why does it sound like you are praising a dog?"
Jian Yun could not help but laugh, "Don't you feel honored?"
Cheng Muze was speechless. "You and Fourth Brother are not family. You know how to exploit my poor child."
"How did he exploit you?" Jian Yun put Huo Liancheng's food away and continued to eat her own. She asked casually.
She had indeed not seen Cheng Muze for a long time. She had been chatting happily with him. Naturally, she had to care about him. At the same time, she wanted to learn more about Huo Liancheng from him.
"Don't you know? The Huo's had set up their headquarters in Qinghu City. There were many things they needed to do. " Fourth Brother, who doesn't do proper work, doesn't care about his own company and comes to the Ming's to be their manager. Those big and small things will fall on me. You don't even know how busy I have been recently. Look, look, look, "Cheng Muze said with a belly full of resentment. He pointed at his own eyes and complained," Do you see my dark circles? I have only slept for three or four hours in a few days. I am so tired! "
"Oh, what a pity!" Jian Yun pretended to sigh and patted Cheng Muze on the head.
Cheng Muze rolled his eyes. "Sister Jian, can you not be so fake?"
Jian Yun laughed. Of course she knew Cheng Muze's ability. Since Huo Liancheng asked him to do it, he would naturally be able to do it. Saying this now was just pretending to be pitiful. What she was more interested in was the matter of the Huo's headquarters moving to Qinghu City.
Huo Liancheng rarely spoke much. He rarely talked about official matters and Jian Yun would not ask about it. Therefore, she really did not know about the Huo's's big move.
So Jian Yun changed the topic, "The Huo's headquarters is moving over? Is Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo moving over to Qinghu City too?"
"That's not the case. Qinghu City is just the headquarters of Huo's in Huaxia. The headquarters is still the Mei Emperor. But I heard that Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo have plans to stay here for a long time. " Cheng Muze looked at Jian Yun's expression, blinked his eyes, and asked in a very gossipy manner. "Sister Jian, didn't you and Fourth Brother get married? Why are you still calling them Mr. Huo Mrs. Huo? Shouldn't you call them parents?"
Jian Yun looked at Cheng Muze from the corner of her eye and sighed helplessly," You still want to ask? Of course I am not welcomed!"
Cheng Muze raised his eyebrows and a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes, "Aunt doesn't like you?"
Jian Yun pursed her lips and did not answer.
Cheng Muze looked at Jian Yun and smiled, "But Sister Jian, you don't need to mind. Aunt has high standards. There are not many people in this world that she likes. It is normal that she does not like you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Jian Yun felt her chest tighten when she thought of Shen Faangqi. Cheng Muze should not know what happened and Jian Yun did not want to talk about it.
From the bottom of her heart, Jian Yun rejected Shen Faangqi. Firstly, they were not related by blood. She would not be like Huo Liancheng and Huo Qingcheng, who had been giving up on Shen Faangqi. Secondly, Shen Faangqi already knew that she did not like her. The only few times they met, the atmosphere was very awkward. Jian Yun did not have that kind of saint feeling. The more others did not like her, the more they wanted to stick to her. She could not do it.
"Alright, then, Sister Jian, what else do you want to know?" Cheng Muze held his chin and watched Jian Yun eat. He felt that this was really a kind of enjoyment. The woman in front of him was clean and elegant. She was different from the women he had met before. There was a kind of firm and warm aura on her body. It would be very comfortable to be with her. Cheng Muze sometimes thought that if he had met her first, he would definitely fall in love with her like Fourth Brother without hesitation and firmly occupy this warmth from then on.
Jian Yun put down her chopsticks and thought for a moment. She asked, "Do you know what happened today?"
Cheng Muze raised his eyebrows and his expression became cold. "You almost got hit by a car?"
"Yes." Jian Yun nodded and asked, "Liancheng said that the culprit was sent to the police station and died in less than two hours."
"I heard from Fourth Brother." Cheng Muze put down his hand that was resting on his chin and frowned. A cold light flashed across the corner of his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "It's a little strange."
"Then, this person is dead. Could it be..." Jian Yun bit her lips and worry appeared in her eyes.
"Could it be something?" Cheng Muze waited for a long time but did not hear the second half of Jian Yun's sentence. Instead, he found that she was in a daze and could not help but ask curiously.
"What I mean is, will this matter have any negative impact on Liancheng?" Jian Yun's brows were locked and she looked extremely worried. "After all, someone died."
Cheng Muze did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Jian Yun with a strange look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jian Yun touched her face. "Do I have rice on my face?"
Cheng Muze clicked his tongue. He shook his head and said, "Sister Jian, do you still not know Fourth Brother's background and wealth?"
"I know. He is the crown prince of the Huo's Financial Group. What's wrong? What does it have to do with this?" Jian Yun looked confused.
"Do you know that my great-grandfather was a senior general during the War of Resistance? The Huo's became rich in the Qing Dynasty. After so many years of development, their family was very big. After 49 years, they donated half of their assets to the country to develop their economy. Do you know the concept of half of their assets?" Cheng Muze asked.
"I can imagine it!" Jian Yun's eyes twitched.
"Before Great Grandfather passed away, he forbade the heir of the family from going into politics, but that doesn't mean that our Huo Family has nothing to do with it!" Cheng Muze said seriously. "Now, he is only a suspect. Fourth Brother is still the family of the victims. What does it have to do with him? "Even if it does, it doesn't threaten Fourth Brother," Cheng Muze said. "The Huo Family isn't a pushover either! "Of course, as the successor of the Huo Family, Fourth Brother has always been a good citizen who abides by the law. He never does things like killing people and stealing from others. After all, everyone is equal before the law!"
Jian Yun heard the first half of Cheng Muze's words and was indeed shocked. She also felt that she was too careless. She knew too little about the Huo Family and was foolishly worried that Huo Liancheng would be implicated. Cheng Muze must think that she was a fool.
However, Jian Yun heard and rolled her eyes. Killing people and stealing their goods, stealing their chickens and dogs, and only Huo Liancheng would do such a thing when his head was pinched by the door.
However, Jian Yun only needed to know that Huo Liancheng would not be affected and she would be at ease.
"Why aren't you eating again? Don't tell me you are full? That's it!" Cheng Muze saw Jian Yun put down her chopsticks and pointed at the food, "Don't tell me it doesn't suit the taste? No way. Fourth Brother ordered it himself. "He said it was your favorite dish."
No, I don't have an appetite. " Jian Yun also imitated Cheng Muze and sighed while holding her chin.
"Are you still worried about Fourth Brother?" Cheng Muze laughed.
"No," Cheng Muze said. What else do I have to worry about?" Jian Yun glanced at Cheng Muze and sighed. "I remember my classmate."
