Xing Jiashan nodded.

"That's right. Speaking of which, Zhong Xin was once my senior in medical school. He comes from a wealthy family and is a man of integrity. Unfortunately, everyone has weaknesses, and he's a well-known filial son. Three years ago, my mother suddenly developed Alzheimer's and has been receiving excellent treatment abroad. I think Zheng Yuyan must have sent the Zheng family to take action from there."

Ah!

In order to prevent Shi Rong from marrying into the Huo family smoothly, she was willing to spend a lot of money!

Seeing Huo Jiuzhou's indifferent expression and full of worries, Xing Jiashan asked.

"What did the old man say?"

The man shook his head.

"There's no turning back. I've been given two choices: either Shi Rong gives her his eyes as compensation, or I blind Shi Rong as well."

so serious?

hiss…

Xing Jiashan bit the skin on his fingertips in a state of turmoil. This matter was really difficult to deal with. With Huo Jiuzhou's temperament, he would never really destroy Shi Rong's eyes. But besides these two options...

"Is there no third option?"

The man curled his lips slightly with disdain.

"Of course, it depends on whether she is willing."

What do you mean?

Xing Jiashan didn't understand, but seeing the man's confident look, he knew that he had already come up with a two-way decision in his mind that would ensure victory while saving Shi Rong's eyes.

He is truly worthy of being the shrewd Huo Jiuzhou!

"But then again, this Zheng Yuyan is quite scheming. She's willing to risk her life to dethrone the emperor. This time, she's won."

"win?"

Huo Jiuzhou was both amused and confused.

"Winning once in a while is just luck. One has to win all the time to take the next step well. Since Shi Rong is no match for her in terms of scheming, I don't mind giving her everything I have. I want to see how she can win in the future."

"Hmm~"

Xing Jiashan shrugged noncommittally.

Speaking of which, Shi Rong is luckier after all. Although she has nothing, the love that Huo Jiuzhou bestows on her is better than thousands of horses and troops.

When Shi Rongren slowly woke up, the two people who were chatting outside the door had not returned yet. She stood up and looked at her clothes in confusion. She found that someone had changed her clothes and put them on her.

Pure white cotton slim-fit long dress with ruffled lace at the collar and cuffs.

Is he back?

Apart from him, Shi Rong couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.

Feeling thirsty, Shi Rong reached out to take the water cup from the bedside table. After drinking all the water in the cup, he got out of bed with his bare white feet and planned to go outside to get some water.

As she quietly approached the bedroom door, the two people outside were still chatting casually.

"It seems that every game Zheng Yuyan has set up recently has only one purpose."

Xing Jiashan couldn't figure out the woman's cunning little thoughts, so he had to ask again.

"What is it?"

"she…"

When Huo Jiuzhou said this word, Shi Rong happened to hear the conversation between the two through the gap in the door.

She couldn't hear who was speaking the next sentence, but she could only hear a string of demonic sounds emanating from Huo Jiuzhou's mouth, neither too high nor too low, like the demonic sound of a demon from hell coming to claim her life.

"Every gesture and every word I've made lately, all for one purpose: to win Shi Rong's attention."

"Crack-!"

There was a sharp sound of a glass of water breaking behind them, and both of them were startled.

Looking back, the moment Huo Jiuchang pushed open the door with his long arm, he saw Shi Rong standing uncomfortably behind the door, staring at him without blinking with a pair of misty eyes.

The two men's hearts skipped a beat and they each thought to themselves that something was wrong. It seemed that she had heard what they said.

Want her eyes?

Who wants her eyes?

When a sentence is missing a crucial personal pronoun, everyone will associate it with the person who said it.

In other words, all of Huo Jiuzhou's recent, uncharacteristic displays of kindness towards her were done to get her eyes?

A silent, miserable smile played across Shi Rong's lips. No wonder this man had been so nice to her recently, so nice to her, as if they had returned to the intimacy they had experienced four years ago when they first got together.

Those moments when she was caught off guard and was touched by him, and even the moment when she was able to put aside the past and accept his kindness in her heart again, were all just for her eyes?

As if she had been hit head-on, she subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her half-open mouth, as if she had not expected it at all, and shook her head weakly.

How could this be?

Why did everything turn out like this?

When she was enlightened, she looked at the man who was rushing towards her. He was tall and slender, with a stunning appearance and body, and she felt extremely terrified.

"Don't come here!"

Before Huo Jiuzhou could even reach out his fingertips and touch her pale little face, he was stopped by her terrified scream and stood there in a daze.

Shi Rong couldn't help but step back step by step. She was not careful and stepped on the broken pieces of water cup scattered on the ground. The sharp fragments deeply embedded into her fragile feet, leaving several wounds deep enough to see the bones, and blood gushed out.

She pretended not to hear and just stared at the man in front of her, who was both strange and familiar.

The slightly red eyes were already filled with crystal tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"What do you want with my eyes?"

She suppressed the sorrowful wails in her heart, and the voice that came out of her mouth was calmer than ever before.

"You're going to give it to Zheng Yuyan, right?"

No matter the blood flowing from her feet or the tears in her eyes, all of them made Huo Jiuzhou heartbroken.

But what disappointed him the most was her stubborn and biased idea. She hadn't even asked him a question, but she already thought that he wanted to take her eyes and give them as compensation to Zheng Yuyan?

How could she view his true love for her in this way?

His Ah Rong used to be so confident.

Even when Zheng Yuyan framed her with a well-planned perfect car accident at the beginning, she still firmly believed that he would help her. How come she has become so extreme and stubborn now?

However... everyone else has thought of the beginning, but they have overlooked what Shi Rong got in return for his firm belief four years ago.

"You're so nice to me, just to get my eyes?"

The hoarse voice of questioning continued.

The man who was questioned was filled with rage in the blink of an eye, and his whole body was covered with layer upon layer of freezing ice. His brown eyes also changed from the initial pity to an unsolvable gloom.

He hadn't acted so aggressively in front of Shi Rong for a long time, so Xing Jiashan, who was watching, could tell at a glance that the situation was not good! So he hurriedly started to persuade him.

"Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand! Everything is not what you think. The boss..."

But... he had only said half of what he wanted to say.
