Huo Yi Jing was already calm when he saw Xia Tian Meng, who was emitting an eerie aura, sitting on the sofa watching TV with Yan Jue the next morning.
In the summer, Meng heard his footsteps downstairs without turning her head, but He Yi Qing, who sat down at the dinner table to have breakfast, felt a gaze that was as elusive as a shadow. Although it wasn't unbearable, being stared at like this wouldn't be a pleasant thing either.
"Have you had breakfast?" Huo Yichen finally looked up at her.
In the summer, Meng didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask himself, and he was stunned for a moment. When he looked at Yan Jue again, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at them, and then walked away with a hint of pride, as if showing off his importance. This made Huo Yijiang feel somewhat amused. Last night, he was so overbearing, but in the end, he was just a young and vigorous little girl.
In the summer, Meng saw the servant bring in fresh milk and frowned, then looked at Huo Yijian's coffee and pushed the milk over: "Exchange!"
Huo Yi Jing didn't say a word either, he just looked at her with an indifferent gaze.
In the summer, Meng seemed to have not noticed his coldness and brought over his coffee to take a sip. As soon as it entered her mouth, she felt bitter and wanted to spit it out. At this time, Yan Jue turned around and leaned on the back of the sofa, teasing: "I remember that the hostess has always loved drinking the master's coffee. This way of showing affection, I thought that even if the master lost his memory, it wouldn't happen again."
In summer, Meng struggled to swallow her coffee and forced a unnatural smile: "I will always make Ah Qiang regain his memory."
Yan Jue saw the situation and narrowed his long eyes, smiling: "The master will always find back memories." But didn't say who helped.
Yan Wen came in to deliver the documents and saw Yan Jue like this, so he put on a serious face: "I remember that the Eagle Gang's case hasn't been solved yet, are you thinking of going to Africa for business by wandering around here all day?"
Yan Jue snorted and left without saying anything else.
Yan Wen didn't mind his sudden change in behavior, and handed the file folder to Huo Yiqing's side, saying: "Master, this is the territory obtained from the extermination of Tiger Roar Hall. Take a look. Also, since you haven't appeared at the Huo residence for over a month, some rumors have been circulating that something unexpected has happened to you, and the various hall masters want to see you in person."
Huo Yi Qing opened the file without saying a word, his slightly furrowed eyebrows indicating his displeasure.
"Hmph!" Xia Tian Meng's knife and fork cut through the toast on her plate, making a sharp sound. "Back when we eliminated the Tiger Roar Hall, you all retreated so quickly one by one. Now that Ah Cheng hasn't appeared for just over a month, you all want to become kings on your own? Indeed, people are looking for death, and no one can stop them."
He raised an eyebrow in surprise, he really didn't expect the usually taciturn and icy mistress to say sarcastic words. It was so out of tune.
Huo Yi Jing looked at the B city map inserted in the file and asked, "Who leaked it out?" No one had any confidence that they were not in the Huo family, nor did they dare to make such a bold request to see him.
Yan Wen furrowed his brow: "I heard that someone from the White Tiger Hall said they saw you get injured that night, but since there was no big movement from the Huo family, I thought it was just a rumor." The rest of what he meant to say wasn't something he could say.
Huo Yi Qing's lips curled up coldly as he closed the file: "Let them meet, but they can't just meet casually."
"Yes." Yan Wen bowed his head in response, they hadn't seen the master of the house for over a month and were probably consumed by ambition, normally the master only showed up during major movements, and seeing him personally meant that someone was about to be cleaned out.
She looked at her mistress again, still carelessly cutting toast, thinking to herself, indeed as the mistress said, if someone wants to court death, it's hard to stop them.
-------------------------------
In the summer, Meng didn't see any gang fights, under He Yiying's powerful influence, those hall masters who wanted to rebel didn't even dare to say a word, they just watched as He Yiying used this incident to clean up personnel, only then did she truly feel the invincible aura of the male lead in the underworld romance.
Huoyi Jing just sat there, absent-mindedly touching the cuff of his left sleeve, while many elderly people standing opposite him couldn't help but sweat and secretly regret listening to those sycophants' words! How could the master be fine like this?!
"Right on target!"
Everyone looked at the young man who had stood out, still young, suppressing his desire to tremble, and stared hard at Huo Yijiang: "Boss! I'm sure I saw you get shot that day! You, either prove to us that you're not injured, or else you are!" He didn't want to stand out and question the boss either, but since he was the one who spread the news, today if he walked out of this door, these masters who had suffered losses would not let him live to see his home!
Huo Yi Qing raised his head and looked at him, his icy gaze almost sharp enough to pierce through a person's heart: "Proof?"
That person saw the host speaking and his legs began to tremble: "Of course, if the host can prove it, that would be best."
Huo Yi Qing slightly curled his lips, watching the young man with a robust spirit stare at him with wide eyes until he fell down, still unclear how he suddenly saw the master holding a gun.
Bang! The hall master standing below shook, even though they had been through rain of bullets and guns, but more were in charge of the venue, without even firing a shot, watching one die with their eyes wide open, almost reaching the peak of fear towards Huo Yichen in an instant.
Huo Yi Qing put down the gun in his hand on the table beside him, looked at the crowd below with their heads hung low and said: "Is there anyone else who wants to prove something?"
No one answered.
Huo Yi Jing saw the situation and slightly nodded his head, his handsome face with an icy coldness that reveled a thirst for blood: "If you want to die, then I'll fulfill your wish. If you want to keep your own life, then serve the Huo family well. Do I need to personally explain these principles?"
Everyone's heads hung even lower, despising themselves in their hearts. They had known the rules of the Huo family when they first joined, about loyalty and ability. Now that the master himself was saying it again, it was simply a slap in the face.
In the summer, Meng sat on one side watching Huo Yiqing. Just these simple words made everyone feel ashamed, and they finally had a more positive view of Huo Yiqing, at least he had some masculine charm.
Huoyi Jing turned his head to see Xia Tian Meng's smiling face, slightly raised an eyebrow and then looked away. But in his heart, he was still satisfied that Xia Tian Meng didn't change color after seeing the bloody scene, only someone like this had the qualifications to be his woman.
If Xia Tian knew what was on He Yi's mind, she would definitely burst out laughing. In the original text, the female supporting character's expressionless face made the male lead think she was cold-blooded and ruthless, while the female lead's intolerance became pure kindness. The male lead disregarded others' dissatisfaction with the female lead and made her the mistress of the He household; even if not everyone accepted it, no one dared to disobey.
Perhaps this is the power of romance dramas? True love is invincible.
