The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Rong: "Because these are secrets that cannot be known to outsiders."

"My family situation is special. Shi Yang and I support the entire family. No matter who happens to us, we can't easily let any accidents happen, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. The Shi family is just a small existence, and it doesn't deserve to be seen as having such outstanding talents in the eyes of the dignitaries. If you want to become famous in one fell swoop, you have to take them by surprise. Being too ostentatious will only lead to its destruction faster. We have already covered up so carefully, but in the end, weren't we wiped out by your Huo family?"

The four people present could empathize with what Shi Rong said.

A small middle-class family suddenly had a versatile talent who was not worthy of his position. Apart from being envied by the nobles and powerful and being repeatedly suppressed and exploited, he did not get any extra benefits.

Unless you find a suitable opportunity to stand out, you will always be a hermit living a carefree life.

Huo Jiuzhou's meticulous logical thinking has always distinguished between public and private matters. In his eyes, everything that happens has its reasons.

Except for Shi Rong.

It was probably because of the heart-pounding feeling when they first met that his emotional intelligence, which had little experience in love, became almost negative, lower than zero.

Therefore, whenever he faces Shi Chang, he always reveals many dark sides that ordinary people cannot understand.

For example, the following is a sarcastic question.

"So your original purpose in approaching me was to use me as a stepping stone for your family to enter the upper class?"

Upon hearing this.

Chu Yu:? ? ?

Xing Jiashan: ???

Song Qianchen: ???

Then the three of them rolled their eyes. They sincerely felt that the boss was not suitable for a relationship!

It’s not only that he asked such an obvious question, but he also asked it in such a harsh way?

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The person involved, Shi Rong, was so angry that he laughed.

"Then according to Mr. Huo, shouldn't I have been eager to show my ambition from the beginning? Why did I have to wait until today, when the Shi family was destroyed, Shi Yang was imprisoned, and he went to Jishan, before coming here, until you set all kinds of difficult problems to test me? You want to say that I did anything for personal gain? Then the person who was calculated by the Huo family back then would not be me, but your wife, Zheng Yuyan."

After saying that, Shi Rong stood up, opened the door and left in a flash.

It's really suffocating to spend even one more second with someone like him who has extreme ideas.

"Boss! What are you thinking about? Can you please stop talking?"

They could have asked more questions, but now they have just made everyone angry and run away.

Chu Yu slumped on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. He felt that all his efforts tonight had been wasted and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

The man who was slapped in the face was now furious!

Veins suddenly popped up on his forehead. He wasn't slamming the door and leaving in anger, but was angry at his own arrogance.

He was angry at his own careless words, and he couldn't understand why every time he faced Shi Sheng, he couldn't calm down at all! Even the most basic ability to think was lost without a trace.

The most infuriating thing was that he didn't know how to save this embarrassing situation.

Huo Jiuzhou, a straight man, has never taken the initiative to bow his head and coax any woman in his life when it comes to love.

Including when she was with him, most of the time they were in a cold war and angry with each other, she relied entirely on her understanding and self-healing ability.

"How about an apology?"

As if understanding what the man was angry about, Xing Jiashan stepped forward and tried to persuade him kindly.

Seeing him looking at him expectantly, Huo Jiuzhou's anger instantly subsided.

"How to do it?"

How to do it?

If he hadn't asked such a random question, Xing Jiashan would have almost forgotten that in Huo Jiuzhou's world, the word "apology" did not exist. Even if there was, it would be others apologizing to him.

Xing Jiashan scratched his head thoughtfully and thought for a long time.

"Well... just like when you caused your sister-in-law to fall ill and pass out in the mountain courtyard, it's almost the same, but it has to be more sincere than that."

Huo Jiuzhou's brown eyes, filled with heroic spirit, moved around. He remembered what he had said at that time, but he said the same thing twice...

"Can it be done?"

Xing Jiashan was so angry that he couldn't even think of a decent solution himself, yet he still had the nerve to question what others said. It was too much!

I thought so, but I didn’t dare to say it out loud.

"Tsk~ Why don't you try it? How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Feeling Song Qianchen pulling at his coat from behind, Xing Jiashan turned around and saw him pointing at the bracelet on Ji Xinyue's body in the screen saver photo on his phone.

The man immediately understood and gave another instruction.

"It would be best if you could compensate them with a decent gift this time."

Gift?

To be honest, Huo Jiuzhou didn't even know what else Shi Rong liked besides cosmetics and skincare products.

But if I suddenly gave her those now, she would probably think that I was deliberately making fun of her, right?

Seeing the man's conflicted and indecisive expression, Chu Yu understood.

"Boss, you don't even know what your sister-in-law likes, do you?"

The three of them were completely speechless after hearing the man's response of slamming the phone on the conference room table to vent his anger.

It seems that he really doesn't know.

Speaking of which, among all of them, Chu Zhao was actually the one who looked down on Shi Rong the most. Maybe it was because the type of women he liked was different from that of ordinary men?

He always believed that someone like Shi Rong, who was good-looking but useless, was not worthy of his successful boss; Yi Yan, an omnipotent strong woman, was the first target he should consider.

If it weren't for the fact that this man valued Shi Rong so much, he probably wouldn't even be able to call her "sister-in-law".

Through today's communication and contact, Chu Yu suddenly realized that it seemed that he had been too hasty in his overall positioning of Shi Rong, so he tried to make some suggestions.

"I remember that whenever Yiyan was upset, she would eat dessert to relieve her boredom."

Dessert?

Huo Jiuzhou suddenly raised his eyes.

Strawberry cake!

He remembered that it was one of the few foods that Shi Rong was reluctantly fond of.

Without saying much, the man stood up and walked forward with his model-like long legs. His steps were steady but hurried.

"Hey? Where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet..."

Chu Yu was speechless. Why was this man always so anxious and anxious?

The three of them were afraid that his straight-forward personality wouldn't allow him to do this, and they were also curious about what kind of things he would buy for Shi Rong, so they simply followed him under the pretext of "accompanying" him.

"Boss, even if you want to show your sincerity, you don't need to come here in person to buy it, right?"

On the way to the shopping mall near Zhaoqian Building, the three of them were almost going crazy.
