Chapter 1905: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (109)

After saying that she only hated Huo Heng now, Xia Cha couldn’t help but feel guilty and distracted.

As if to make Huo Third Master believe her, she said again, “Only a fool would like him.”

Huo Third Master looked down at Xia Cha. Her skin was fair and her eyes were black. Her face was not even the size of his palm, and she looked pitiful.

He lifted his lips slowly. She didn’t know if he believed her or not.

He took a step forward and pulled her into his arms.

Before Xia Cha could react, he touched her forehead lightly.

Xia Cha quickly took a step back.

Had she not been clear with her rejection earlier?

She said she hated Huo Heng, but she had never said she liked him!

She was not such a frivolous person!

However, Xia Cha’s heart sank when she thought of the mark on his left shoulder.One should never judge a book by its cover. Huo Third Master cared for her very much. He was also considerate, but she did not know what kind of person he was. She had never dated him and did not know him well.

“Cha Cha, since you don’t have anyone else in your heart, I won’t give up on you.”

Xia Cha was speechless.

Was she beautiful enough for him to be like this?

There were countless women throwing themselves at him!

Xia Cha was about to say something when a familiar male voice sounded behind her, “Third Master.”

Xia Cha shivered in her heart.

Was she hallucinating?

Otherwise, why was she hearing Huo Heng’s voice?

Xia Cha pursed her lips and turned back to look at the handsome man standing not far away.

He had one hand in his pocket and she did not know how long he had been standing there. She looked at him but he did not look at her.He had completely ignored her.

Xia Cha had dissed him in front of Huo Third Master and had even expressed her disgust toward him. Naturally, she would not show any other emotions on her face.

But it was still a little awkward.

“Third Master, I have something on. I’ll leave first.”

Huo Third Master nodded at Xia Cha. “I’ll call you later.”

Xia Cha was speechless.

Turning around, Xia Cha took a deep breath and walked toward the door.

When she passed Huo Heng, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

She thought that Huo Heng still regarded her as nothing, but he glanced at her.

What should she say?

It was as if he was saying that he was once blind to fall for a woman who disrespected him behind his back.She had no class at all.

Xia Cha did not pause. She straightened her back and left.

After Huo Third Master changed his clothes, he went to the guest room downstairs.

Huo Heng sat there, narrowing his eyes as he exhaled the smoke.

Huo Third Master sat opposite Huo Heng, made tea, and poured a cup for Huo Heng. “I heard that your grandmother passed away and your father fell sick. I’m sure you still have to deal with a lot of things in Yan City. I can’t keep you here anymore.”

In other words, the previous projects that they were working on were already on track. He could return to Yan City.

Huo Heng smiled. “You must have thought it through.”

He did not answer him directly about whether he was going back.

Huo Third Master did not say it explicitly, but a smart person would understand his meaning.

If the other was not smart enough, he could only use other methods.

Huo Third Master knew Xia Cha’s identity, and he was 80 to 90% sure of Huo Heng’s identity too.However, since Huo Heng didn’t admit to it, he wouldn’t expose him either.

…

Xia Mo came to Harbor City and met Xia Cha at the Harbor City University’s milk tea shop.

Xia Cha took a sip of the milk tea and told her about the conversation she heard that night between Xia Mo and Junyuan.

When Xia Mo heard this, she was silent for a few seconds. “Cha Cha, I know you’re not a gossipy person, but you have a good relationship with Third Uncle. Now everyone in the Huo family is suspicious. Can you keep this matter a secret?”

Xia Cha looked at Xia Mo. “Sister-in-law, to be honest, I went to see Third Master the day before yesterday and saw traces of injury on his left shoulder.”

Xia Mo furrowed her eyebrows. “Just the marks on his shoulders can’t prove that he was the person who wanted to harm Ah Ze back then. But it won’t be long before the truth is out.”

Xia Cha looked at Xia Mo, thinking that they might have found out something.

She was a little curious, but she had nothing to do with Huo Heng now. Being too concerned would not do either of them any good!

“Cha Cha, thank you for telling me what you saw. I will tell Ah Heng to be careful.”

…That morning, Huo Third Master had indirectly asked Huo Heng to leave Harbor City. Not only did he not leave, but he even did a series of unexpected things.

He had first gotten the shares from Huo Ze’s parents, and had also gotten the D30 project through his own business means. The failure of the E20 project had made Old Master Huo lose hope in Fourth Master Huo. Old Master Huo had given the order that the Huo family could not lose the D30 project again.

The D30 project was a large commercial investment by the Helian family in Harbor City. Several slightly famous businesses in Harbor City were eager to work with them.

Huo Third Master and Fourth Master Huo had sent people to follow up.

The Helian family had never given them a proper answer.

Huo Third Master and Fourth Master Huo had been businessmen for many years. They knew that they wouldn’t be able to get this project in such a short time.

But they were still confident.

However, no one had expected Huo Heng to secure it so quietly.

And it was secured in the name of the company that Huo Ze’s parents owned.

When Old Master Huo found out that Huo Heng had helped the Huo family clinch the D30 project, he became more and more fond of him. From time to time, he would say that he was very similar to Huo Ze back then.

…

In a high-class clubhouse.

Huo Third Master and Fourth Master Huo were in the ginseng hot spring.

Amidst the mist, Fourth Master Huo looked at Huo Third Master with a faint smile. “Old Master is already at this age, but he still refuses to step down from his position as the chairman. Now, he’s having a very good time with that brat from the branch family. Third Brother, you’ve been devising strategies for many years. Don’t let the old man fall into the hands of a brat from the branch family.”

“Tsk, I just don’t understand. After Big Brother and Sister-in-law lost their beloved son, did they just give up their shares to a man who looks like Huo Ze?”

Huo Third Master had his hands on the edge of the hot spring and looked up slightly, not saying anything.

Fourth Master Huo looked at Huo Third Master’s calm appearance. “Third Brother, I wanted to fight with you before, but no matter what we say, we’re brothers. Now that Big Brother and Sister-in-law have lost their sanity, and Old Master is still being humored, are you really not anxious at all? If Old Master gives his shares to the branch family, will you really accept it?”

Huo Third Master opened his eyes, his deep eyes looking at Fourth Master Huo through the mist around him. The corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile. “What do you have in mind?”

Fourth Master Huo’s smile was ambiguous. He suddenly raised his hands and clapped.

Light footsteps sounded behind the ancient screen.

Several young and beautiful girls walked in slowly.
