Bai Ru had obviously just taken a shower, her long hair half-tied at the back of her head, with damp strands clinging to her jade-like cheeks. The dark circles under her eyes were prominent, making her look pitiful.
Huo Jincheng frowned instantly, quickly scanning Bai Ru's exposed thighs before shifting his gaze to Xu Yizhi.
"Is this the reason your little prince didn't show up at the club today?"
Xu Yizhi had his hands in his pockets. "I picked her up off the street. If you don't want to save her, does that mean others aren't allowed to?"
Bai Ru hugged her arms around herself. She felt she should say something, but she didn't know what.
What was there to say to a man who had completely abandoned her?
"Xu Yizhi, come out."
Huo Jincheng didn't want to stay there any longer and directly went outside to wait for Xu Yizhi.
Through the door, Huo Jincheng could hear Xu Yizhi speaking to Bai Ru.
"You should rest at home."
"If you need anything, let the servant handle it."
"I have something to discuss with Huo Jincheng."
He didn't hear Bai Ru's voice.
Huo Jincheng sneered inwardly; now, as long as a man extended a helping hand, Bai Ru would rush towards him without hesitation, wouldn't she?
She wouldn't care whether it was appropriate or whether she should accept the other's goodwill.
Previously, he had surgery domestically, and she was entangled in an unclear relationship with the prince of Dubai abroad.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Huo Jincheng did not turn around, his gaze fixed on the distance. "What do you mean by that?"
"The meaning you see."
Xu Yizhi raised his eyebrows, lit a cigarette, and in the moment the flame illuminated, a cold smile crept onto his lips. "Huo Jincheng, you have a wife; you are already married. I also want to get married."
Huo Jincheng smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Of course getting married is fine. As a brother, I will definitely bless your wedding. There’s no doubt about that. But what is her current situation? Don’t you know?"
Xu Yizhi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, nonchalantly replying, "What’s her situation? Isn’t she in the midst of a divorce? If she weren’t seeking a divorce, would I have a chance?"
Huo Jincheng looked at Xu Yizhi with a strange expression. "After all these years, you still haven’t seen what kind of person she is? Do you need me to clarify it for you? If she weren’t in the middle of a divorce and couldn’t find anyone to help her, would she come to you? Would she accept your help?"
"I know."
"You know and yet you still jump into it?"
This is not sincere at all!
Bai Ru clearly wants to use Xu Yizhi.
Especially now that Bai Ru is not even in the process of getting divorced; Xu Yizhi getting involved with her, especially bringing Bai Ru home, is an extremely unwise move!
The Huo family wants to save face!
The Xu family wants to save face too!
Xu Yizhi laughed uncontrollably. "What’s that saying? You can’t catch a wolf without letting go of the child! To be honest, I’m quite pleased that there are aspects of me that she can utilize."
"Crazy, crazy."
Huo Jincheng looked at Xu Yizhi as if he were looking at a madman.
Xu Yizhi, cigarette in mouth, walked towards his car. "I'm not afraid of being used; I'm afraid that there's nothing about me she wants to use. That would be the saddest part."
Huo Jincheng crossed his arms and sneered, "Hah, I didn't expect you to be such a romantic."
Xu Yizhi held onto the steering wheel. "Maybe we just don't understand each other well enough."
"Do you really have to do this? Are you going to step up and help her get a divorce?"
Huo Jincheng actually didn't want to see this scene.
Xu Yizhi didn't want to bring it up again. "Your relationship with Jian Yunong didn't start out all that pure either. When love begins, how do you know what you'll end up like? As long as you end up together, isn't that enough?"
"Don't change the subject. At least back then, my daughter-in-law and I were both single! Being single is not a crime! It's all above board!"
"Being married also comes with the right to divorce!" Xu Yizhi shot him a glance. "You didn't see how badly Bai Ru was beaten?"
Huo Jincheng had seen it and responded irritably, "I'm not blind!"
"I know. She's not in your heart anymore; your feelings for Jian Yunong are just fine. You won't care about what Bai Ru is like now. You can remain indifferent. I can't."
"I'm indifferent?"
Huo Jincheng was speechless. "Who told you that? Did Bai Ru say so?"
"All I see is that you haven't helped."
“……” Huo Jincheng looked out the window and said, “Fine, if you want to think that way, I can’t help it. I really don’t plan to help Bai Ru. My abilities are limited. I can’t bring her to my own home. What would my Daughter-in-law think? Don’t you understand the principle of avoiding suspicion? Although my Daughter-in-law hasn’t said anything before, that’s because she trusts me. But I can’t keep pushing it too far. Feelings are something that can’t withstand consumption. I have the patience to coax Jian Yunong, but I really don’t have the energy to coax Bai Ru anymore.”
Bai Ru felt particularly awkward.
She couldn’t figure out her position; he couldn’t unconditionally accommodate her like before.
No matter what outrageous thing she did, would he not get angry?
That was impossible!
He would get angry over Jian Yunong’s matters, let alone with Bai Ru now. Huo Jincheng wouldn’t treat Bai Ru like a revered ancestor.
“Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? She’s been beaten up like that, feeling bad and scared. What’s wrong with you accommodating her a little?”
Xu Yizhi said impatiently.
Huo Jincheng fell silent.
The neon lights of Nancheng flashed by continuously.
Only light and color were lively.
“What’s going on with Mist Shenshen now?”
Huo Jincheng changed the subject, not wanting to talk about Bai Ru anymore.
Xu Yizhi could do as he pleased; anyway, Huo Jincheng wouldn’t get involved in Bai Ru’s matters again.
This lifetime's connection ended here.
Xu Yizhi cleared his throat and said, "I have already sent someone to negotiate. But the other party refuses to admit anything."
"Is there no other way? What about a black market deal?"
Huo Jincheng opened his phone, and on the screen was a photo of Jian Yunong. He stared intently, "Money is not an issue. We just need to rescue Mist Shenshen."
"I understand. I'm currently working on connections. That group is currently dominant in that area. It's not easy to deal with."
Xu Yizhi pondered, "Actually, there might be a way. I checked their enemies and found out they have offended some people from Italy. I tried to reach out to the Italian Chinese Organization. However, their leader is very mysterious and quite arrogant. Clearly, they look down on that trash group, whether they choose to deal with them or not. If they are willing to help, it wouldn't be impossible to not only rescue Mist Shenshen but also make that trash organization disappear overnight."
"What is their surname?"
"They are Italian Chinese, with the surname Shi. The new leader's current situation is unclear. In any case, it's a very low-profile organization. But if you underestimate the Shi Family from Italy, the consequences will be particularly severe."
"In this situation, we need to find common interests. If we rashly ask others for help without offering any benefits, why would they be willing to take extra steps?"
Huo Jincheng was a businessman and was used to thinking about problems from a commercial perspective.
Xu Yizhi nodded, "This family is not short on money; they accumulated a lot of wealth in their early years and were even granted a title in England. I'm also quite troubled."
