Domineering, unreasonable, threatening, these things were unbearable. When he used them on her, there was nowhere for her to escape. She could only compromise and be eaten alive.

TAO

CHAPTER 101 - TO THE END

Seeing him looking at her, the little girl became a little nervous. She stuffed the flowers into his hands and was about to run away.

Wait. Austen did not want to bring these flowers back. Wasn't this adding fuel to the fire? She smiled at the little girl and said, Help me throw it away.

Watching Oston leave, the little girl giggled. What a rich man, throwing it away just like that was a waste! Take it back to the hotel and decorate it.

Oston walked all the way back to his car, cursing Zhong Luozhuang in his heart.

Zhong Luozhang sneezed a few times in the office. His mind slightly spun as he saw Xia Xiaomin, who was researching new dishes in her office, revealing an evil smile.

Austen, you want to fight me? I'll follow you to the end!

As it turned out, the moment Austen arrived at the hotel's parking lot, he was discovered by Zhong Luozhuang's men. Therefore, the unhappy Zhong Luozhuang had Xia Xiaomin brought back to his company's office in secret.

As the saying goes, study the new dishes.

Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, then don't get off work tonight! Zhong Luozheng said nonchalantly and then ignored Xia Xiaomin.

Originally, Lin XIyao's words had made a huge ruckus. Now that she heard Zhong Luozhan's words, Xia Xiaomin was very frustrated. She had no idea how many hundreds of times she had chopped Zhong Luozheng into pieces.

I want to have the baby. Lin Xiyao resolutely said over the phone. Lin Xiyao had already thought about it. No matter what, she had to make two preparations.

Zhong Luozheng didn't want to argue with Lin XIyao any longer, so he directly said, Lin XIyao, is the child in your stomach really mine? I tell you, I already knew what you did. Ever since you became pregnant with someone else's child, you've never tried to threaten me with it.

Ah, Zhong Luozhan, don't tell me you haven't recognized the truth? The whole world thinks that the child in my womb is yours now. Tell me, if you don't want this child, what would the whole world think of you?

Lin Xi Yao, I'm warning you! The person who dares to threaten me has not been born yet! Zhong Luozheng's anger was completely ignited by Lin Xiyao.

Threatening you? Director Zhong, this is still light, if I denounce you in front of the media and say that you abandoned me because you didn't want your own flesh and blood and wanted to force me to kill myself, what kind of situation would you face?"

Zhong Luozheng hated people who threatened him the most, so Lin Xiyao's actions were undoubtedly picking the hairs on a tiger's head.

Lin Xiyao, if you have the ability, then jump off a building. I don't think I'll stop you! With that, Zhong Luozhan hung up the phone.

Bang! His hand was thrown onto the table.

Yun Xiang stood at the side with a frown but did not say a word.

Zhong Luozheng's anger had yet to subside when he thought again of Xia Xiaomin. That crazy woman wouldn't do anything to her, would she?

Yun Xiang, send some of your best men to protect Xia Xiaomin from the shadows. I want her to be safe and sound.

Yes.

Damn him! He couldn't be softhearted towards Lin Xiyao from the start. If he hadn't lent her money back then, would she still be where she was today?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Zhong Luozhan became. He buried himself in his work, flipping through the information in front of him, frowning as he said to Yun Xiang, There must be no accident. You keep an eye on this, no, you go take full responsibility.

Yun Xiang lowered his head and said, Yes, Boss.

Just when Zhong Luozhan thought that a storm would arrive soon, he actually spent a week in peace.

It was as if Lin Ximing had suddenly disappeared. There was no more news about her in the entertainment gossip, and Xia Xiaomin was safe under Zhong Luozhang's strict protection.

As for that Austen, whatever he wanted to do, as long as it wasn't too excessive, Zhong Luozhan didn't care.

However, why did this silence make him feel uneasy? Zhong Luozhan was sitting in his office, frowning as he thought.

Director Zhong, quickly turn on the TV. Yun Xiang suddenly pushed open the door. Although he was still expressionless, there was a trace of urgency in his voice.

Hearing him, Zhong Luozhan took out the remote control and turned on the TV, which suddenly showed Lin XIyao's figure on the screen.

For her love of jumping off a building, Lin Xiyao scolded Zhong Luozhan for abandoning her, not wanting children.

The huge title scrolled below the TV screen. Zhong Luozheng switched to a few other stations, all of which were broadcasting live.

Central TV Department 1 has called to look for you.

A reporter from 'Starry Night Entertainment' called and said that he wanted to interview you.

Boss Zhong, this is bad. The major media, as well as the internet, have almost covered this live broadcast. There are even people blocking the company's entrance. I hope you can give Lin XIyao an explanation.

Boss Zhong, the stocks are plummeting.

The directors have called.

Almost in a split-second, everything exploded. Zhong Luozhan listened to his assistant secretary's report, his expression didn't change in the slightest, and his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Boss, what should we do? Yun Xiang turned his head back, waiting for his orders.

The thoughts in Zhong Luozheng's mind churned. The next moment, he raised his head and ordered Yun Xiang, You, hurry up and purchase this case. I want to see the contract in three days.

Yes, I will go now. Yun Xiang rushed out of the office.

Public relations manager, immediately assign a public relations plan. You must minimize the impact of this matter. Notify the security company to maintain order, and send people over to the Howell Hotel.

The public relations manager received the order to run out without stopping, and instructed his underlings to do something.

Boss Zhong, the stock market has already stopped falling. What should we do?

Hold on for a moment. It's a good thing that the market will be closed in the next two days. Once Yun Xiang and the rest finish up, there'll be no problem. All of you can go over and help.

After Zhong Luozhan finished, another wave of people left the office, leaving only a secretary hanging off the phone.

You, immediately call 120 and 110, and tell the reporters that I, Zhong Luozheng, won't go. It has nothing to do with me whether she, Lin Xiyao, lives or dies!

The little secretary looked at Zhong Luozhuang with a troubled expression. She was also a woman, so she naturally felt that Zhong Luozhuang was too heartless. However, she was still a small employee, so she could only be obedient.

Zhong Luozheng's company was very busy, and the Howell Hotel was very busy as well. Some reporters came to look for Xia Xiaomin and Lin Xishan's fans to stir up some trouble.

However, it was unusually quiet in the kitchen lounge.

No, I have to go take a look. Xia Xiaomin couldn't sit still. From the moment she knew that Lin Xiyao was going to jump off a building, her heart had been thumping non-stop.

Xiao Min, where are you going? Oston stopped Xia Xiaomin. If it wasn't for this incident, he might not have met up with her.

Xia Xiaomin pushed Oston away, but saw that he was still holding him back, she shouted at him, You can't possibly let Lin Ximing really jump off a building, can you?

She can't jump! A woman like her was very snobbish. Wasn't she going to die because of a treasure? Would she die? He just couldn't believe it!

Xia Xiao was so sensitive that he felt like he was going crazy. How could Austen say such words so easily?

What could a desperate woman not do?

Xia Xiaomin pushed him away and ran to the door. He bumped into Zhong Luochen.

Seeing him, Xia Xiaomin was both angry and annoyed. She walked around him and left.

Where are you going? Zhong Luozhuang grabbed her arm and asked with a frown.

Xia Xiaomin glared at Zhong Luozheng, but when she was about to say something, she saw Lin XIyao jumping off the building live on the giant LCD TV in the lobby.

Now that we're connected to the scene of Lin Xiyao's escape, let's hear what the person involved has to say.

The reporter walked closer to Lin Xiyao, but didn't expect Lin Xiyao to be so agitated. The reporter had only taken a single step, yet she had already driven him away, and her swaying body made people feel like she could be blown down by the wind.

What are you doing? Xia Xiaomin exclaimed, stepping forward to protect Zhong Luozhuang. Austen, are you crazy?

Oston became even angrier when he saw Xia Xiaomin protecting Zhong Luozhan. He pulled her to his side, pointed at Zhong Luozheng and said, Didn't he harm you enough? Eh? If it wasn't for him, how could there be so many reporters outside? "

Xia Xiaomin saw that Zhong Luozheng had been beaten up, so she rushed forward anxiously.

It's none of your business. This is the Hall Hotel. Young Master Austen, please leave, so as to avoid any misunderstandings. Zhong Luozhan wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up and said to Austen when he realized there was no blood.

Indeed, there were a lot of reporters outside, and since they were generations of competitors, being caught in the shadows by the reporters would only make things even more troublesome.

Austen glanced at Xia Xiaomin, then turned to leave.

Austen, take me with you. Xia Xiaomin took two steps forward and caught up with the people in front.

Zhong Luochen frowned in dissatisfaction, but quickly walked over and pulled Xia Xiaomin over. Where are you going? It's a mess outside right now, you should stay in the hotel. "

This time, even Austen stood on Zhong Luozhuang's side and advised, That's right, Xiao Min, it's best if you don't go out.

Austen may not have known much about Xia Xiaomin and Austen back in France, but he had gone to China to check it out himself. Oston was even more anxious when he heard that Xia Xiaomin was going to go out. Those reporters had seen her going out, but they were still pouncing on her when they saw her.

Xia Xiaomin ignored them and prepared to leave.

Can you stop for a moment? What are you going to do? Zhong Luozhan pulled her back, trying to ease his tone before asking.

Xia Xiaomin glanced at the TV behind him. On the screen, Lin XIyao was standing on the extremely dangerous balcony, constantly yelling that she wanted to see Zhong Luozhuang.

Following Xia Xiaomin's line of sight, Zhong Luozheng's raging aura dispersed in an instant. He pulled Xia Xiaomin tightly, gritted his teeth and said, Don't worry about her!

Why don't you care? She's pregnant with your child! Xia Xiao Min screamed in pain, but it still attracted a lot of attention.

Zhong Luozhan swept his gaze over the crowd and saw that everyone had completely disappeared.

In Austen's mind, the child in Lin Xiyao's womb was definitely not Zhong Luozheng's. Although he didn't know the reason, it was just this strong.

Zhong Luochen, Xia Xiaomin and Austen were the only ones left in the hall. Other than the miserable cries coming from the television, there was no other sound.

CHAPTER 102 - IT'S BETTER THAN YOU THE UNFAITHFUL MAN

Who said that? His gloomy and cold voice reverberated in the air above the great hall, if one listened carefully, one could hear the hidden anger behind his gloomy and cold back. Lin XIyao told you? When did you see her? What else did she say?

Several questions were thrown out. Xia Xiaomin didn't even have time to think about it. She felt Zhong Luozhan getting closer to her. To prevent him from doing anything, Xia Xiaomin backed away quickly.

However, she forgot that her arm was still in Zhong Luozhan's hand. It was impossible for her to escape. In his panic, his heel touched the toes of the foot behind him, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall down.

Fortunately, Zhong Luozheng was able to hold her back in time. He pulled Xia Xiaomin into his arms, and when he saw her panicked face, he released her.

With her freedom, Xia Xiaomin looked around. Luckily there was no one else in the hall, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death.

Xia Xiaomin, you are indeed stupid enough! Zhong Luozhan's You're so stupid expression made Xia Xiaomin flabbergasted.

It's better than being a lover! After saying that, Xia Xiaomin walked towards the hotel door, ignoring Zhong Luozheng.

Zhong Luozhan followed closely behind her, suddenly realizing something as he called out to Xia Xiaomin, You're going to find Lin XIyao?

Yes, I'm just going to look for her! She could not stand the sight of a tragic death.

What a brainless pig! Zhong Luozhan rolled his eyes at Xia Xiaomin in his heart. He reached out his hand to pull her back, but felt her struggle, so he had to explain, That child is not mine.

Although he had heard his grandma's unclear answer and Lin Xishan's denial, that kind of feeling was still very strange. He was glad that he had heard it, but most of all, his heart was sour and he wanted to cry.

If you say it's not yours, then it's not yours? What's more, even if it's not, can you still watch Lin Xiyao really jump down?

Xia Xiaomin wasn't some saint, especially since Lin XIyao was always targeting her. She couldn't help but want to throw her to death. However, the child was innocent. No matter who's baby, the one in Lin Xiyao's stomach was still an unformed little angel.

Zhong Luozheng had a headache over Xia Xiaomin's stubborn personality. He dragged her to the TV and pointed at the building, Can you see how tall this building is before you speak?

Hearing the helplessness in his words, Xia Xiaomin finally raised her head. The floor that Lin Xiyao was originally standing on wasn't very high, but even so, the child would definitely not be able to fall down …

Xia Xiaomin, put away your bad intentions. Lin Ximing doesn't care at all! Why do you think she's doing this? Use your little brain to think about it."

Xia Xiaomin was reminded by Zhong Luozheng's words. Indeed, this child was Lin Xiyao's. If she really chose to jump in, no one would be able to persuade her.

And she knew Zhong Luozhan would not go, so she did all this just to get rid of the child? And get sympathy? Using the power of public opinion to force Zhong Luochen to marry her?

Xia Xiaomin couldn't help but cover her mouth, unable to believe what she was thinking.

That's right, this is her plan. Zhong Luozhuang was beside her, his voice soft.

Xia Xiaomin suddenly felt cold. Why was it that people were so complicated? Why would Lin XIyao be willing to sacrifice her child to marry a man who didn't love her?

Turning back to Zhong Luozheng, Xia Xiaomin felt that Zhong Luozheng's existence was even scarier than Lin XIyao's.

The negotiator had a long discussion with Lin XIao on the balcony. Lin XIao insisted that she only listened to Zhong Luozheng. They had no other choice but to find Zhong Luochen and make a call.

Inside the Hall Hotel, Xia Xiaomin no longer insisted on going to find Lin XIyao, but Zhong Luozhuang was still worried about her, so he took her with him to Manager Su's office, accompanying her throughout the entire trip.

When he received the call and heard what they had to say, he rejected them impatiently.

Zhong Luozheng hung up the phone as he was still talking on the other end of the line. He wanted to smash the phone out of habit, but he resisted his impulse when his eyes met Xia Xiaomin's.

Walking to her side and sitting down, Zhong Luozheng comforted her, Don't worry about it.

Xia Xiaomin knew he was talking about the phone call, so she simply shook her head and lowered it.

Although he already knew about Lin Xiyao's scheme, it was all because of this man. However, he was incomparably at ease by her side. This contradictory feeling made her not know how to face Zhong Luozhuang.

On Lin Xiyao's side, she knew Zhong Luozheng wouldn't come, so she raised her eyes to look at the sun. For a split-second, she seemed to be dizzy, then her whole body swayed a little.

The television and internet were still broadcasted live. Lin XIao sobbed and complained about Zhong Luozheng's grievances, but none of these would appear in front of Xia Xiaomin or Zhong Luozhan. Zhong Luozhan had turned off the television the moment he entered Manager Su's office, and told Xia Xiaomin in a serious and serious manner, Don't watch it.

Zhong Luozhan's phone rang again. He looked down at the caller ID and frowned. He told Xia Xiaomin to stay here. He then went outside and picked up the phone.

Lin Xiyao, what are you trying to do? Zhong Luochen shouted directly into his phone.

However, Lin Xiyao pitifully said, Luo Zhan, I thought you wouldn't pick up my phone, why aren't you coming? Are you really that heartless?

Lin Xiyao, it's your business whether I live or die, it has nothing to do with me. Do you think you can threaten my marriage with this? I tell you, that's impossible! When your child falls, I will do a paternity test. Your methods will only bring shame to yourself! With that, Zhong Luozhan hung up and threw his phone out of the window.

Zhong Luozhan let out a long sigh and walked back to his office. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Xia Xiaomin's scream. Zhong Luozheng rushed in and saw the frightened Xia Xiaomin. He quickly rushed over and picked her up in his arms.

She … She jumped! " Xia Xiaomin pointed to the television.

Only now did Zhong Luozhan notice that the television had been switched on at some point, and that the scene of Lin XIyao jumping off was currently being broadcasted.

On the screen, she stared at the camera with despair in her eyes. She even said something softly before jumping down.

Zhong Luozheng looked down at Xia Xiaomin, who was still trembling. He covered her eyes and shouted at her in exasperation, Didn't I tell you not to look?

I … Xia Xiaomin subconsciously answered, but closed her mouth after saying one word.

After Zhong Luozhan left, Xia Xiaomin had been wondering who the caller was, when suddenly, Lin Xiyao appeared in her mind. Her intuition told her that it couldn't be wrong, it had to be Lin XIyao.

She didn't know why Lin XIyao would call her at this time, but her curiosity had driven her to turn on the television. She didn't expect to see Lin XIyao's shot of her jumping down as soon as she turned it on.

The distance was too close, and Lin Xiyao's figure could be clearly seen jumping down decisively, as well as those words that she had said while floating in the wind.

She said, Luo Zhan, I love you.

It's okay, it's okay … Thinking that Xia Xiaomin had not recovered yet, Zhong Luozhuang hugged her and patted her back to comfort her. Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered into her ear.

Xia Xiaomin pushed him away, but didn't dare to meet his gaze. I'm fine.

Really? Do you want me to send you to the hospital? Zhong Luozhan was still worried. Seeing that her face was still pale, he wanted to bring her to the hospital to have a look.

Xia Xiaomin quickly shook her head. It's not that serious. I'm a bit tired. I'll be fine after I go back to sleep.

Zhong Luozhan didn't insist, but he had to send her back home with the driver and bodyguards. Xia Xiaomin didn't refuse.

She sat in the car that Zhong Luozhuang had arranged specially. The backseat was separated from the front by a plank, so she could only sit in the back and feel unbridled sadness.

Lin Xiyao had actually jumped!

Zhong Luozhan said she couldn't jump, Austen said she couldn't jump, even her Master and Manager Su said she couldn't jump, but in the end she really jumped!

He was determined not to give himself a way out!

To Xia Xiaomin, this was shocking. Lin Ximing's determination to get Zhong Luozhuang had made her feel an unprecedented sense of guilt. If it weren't for her, even if Zhong Luozhan and Lin XIyao were only working together, wouldn't things have progressed to this stage?

Was the culprit himself?

Xia Xiaomin closed her eyes in pain, feeling that her existence was the biggest mistake.

...

After Lin Xiyao jumped off the building, she was quickly sent to the hospital. Lin XIyao's entertainment company had completely locked down all news, so the reporters could only wait outside the hospital's entrance for news.

Outside the operation room, Lin Xiyao's manager paced back and forth. She hadn't thought that Lin Xiyao would really be able to do this. How was he going to explain this to the company?

While the broker didn't know what to do, someone from within the company arrived and handed her a set of plans. He also told her that she had to make this matter even more chaotic, only then would the news have value, and only then would she be able to become the focus of attention.

The broker immediately understood, so when the doctor came out to tell her that Lin XIyao was fine, that her body was a little weak, and that she had to take a good rest, she smiled while treating the doctor to a cup of coffee.

After that, the doctor's certificate became Lin Xiyao's life, the child may not protect.

Outside the door, those who had heard the news confirmed it to the doctors and brokers. The broker said to the reporters with a sorrowful expression, After receiving this news, we also feel very sad. Let us pray for Yao Yao, hoping that she can get out of this danger as soon as possible and become strong.

The reporters began to spread the news. The headlines of the next day were all about Lin XIyao's mystery of life and death, as well as all kinds of curses and denunciations towards Zhong Luozheng. Some of them even insinuated that this kind of man was worthless no matter how valuable he was.

Director Zhong? Boss Zhong had never interfered with the previous takeover, was this really too troublesome?

Zhong Luozhan could see Yun Xiang's concerns, so he explained, Don't worry, I'm absolutely confident. It's just singing in front of the antiques.

CHAPTER 103 - I'M AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT MY CHILD ANYMORE

Only then did Yun Xiang relax. Zhong Luozhuang then continued, Go to Lin Xiyao's place for me, give her a sum of money, and then help me deliver a message to her.

Yun Xiang's eyes lit up. It seemed that the boss was finally going to take the initiative.

He directly threw a cheque for $5 million onto her bed, then said, Boss Zhong told me to tell you that if you continue acting in front of the media, you don't even know who the father of the child in your womb is.

What do you mean? Lin XIyao tucked her hands under the quilt and rubbed her belly.

Yun Xiang looked at her expressionlessly. I believe that Miss Lin is very intelligent and will definitely understand what Boss Zhong is trying to say.

After Yun Xiang left the ward, Lin Xiyao clenched her teeth, picked up the cheque on the bed, and ruthlessly threw it on the floor. What she wanted was not just a measly 5 million, she wanted to become a Young Mistress of the various families.

Ah!" The sudden agitation caused Lin Xiyao's lower abdomen to ache. Soon, her face became as white as paper, and she began to sweat profusely.

She quickly pressed the bell on the bedside table. When the nurse rushed in and saw her like this, she was startled. Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?

Stomach... Stomach... So painful … Lin Xiyao stuttered as she began to be unable to speak.

The young nurse hurriedly called for a doctor and lifted Lin XIyao's blanket. She shockingly discovered a pool of blood on the bed and covered her mouth as she looked at the unconscious Lin XIyao, who was in pain.

I'm afraid I can't protect my child anymore!

Sure enough, that night, news spread that Lin Xiyao had lost her child due to her unstable mood, and she was unable to recover from her setbacks.

At the same time this news was released, Zhong Luozhan was entertaining all the directors. Everyone was very satisfied with this purchase and was very pleased with Zhong Luozheng's performance.

After getting the confirmation of the directors, Zhong Luozheng left Yun Xiang to deal with them after three rounds of drinking, and then left by himself. The moment he walked out of the hotel, he was surrounded by a large number of people who remembered him.

All sorts of sharp questions followed.

Director Zhong, do you have anything you want to say about Lin Xiyao's miscarriage?

Do you think that your attitude is the one that forced Lin Xiyao into a dead end? Do you regret losing a child?

Lin XIyao is very fragile now that she's lost her child. Have you given it another thought to accept her?

Are you ashamed that things have developed to this point?

Is there anything you would like to say to everyone?

Zhong Luozhan coldly swept his eyes over the faces of these reporters, firmly memorizing the newspaper they worked at. He then took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, a team of bodyguards appeared at the hotel and lined up one by one, blocking the reporters one meter away from Zhong Luochen.

Director Zhong, I'm very sorry, we were not able to do our job properly. The security company and the public relations manager came to Zhong Luozheng's side at the same time, bowing and saying to him.

Tomorrow morning, I don't want to see any reports of me and Lin Xiyao appearing. In addition, I would like to see the purchase contracts for these newspapers on my desk. With that, Zhong Luofeng left without even giving them a look.

The PR manager nodded his head repeatedly, and then memorized the names of these newspapers.

And those reporters had already realized that they could not keep their job. They looked at each other with faces full of unspeakable regret.

The next day, the whole world was very quiet. The major newspapers and magazines had probably already received the news, but none of them had reported the matter of Lin Xiyao's miscarriage.

Lin XIyao gritted her teeth in anger. She got up and walked out of the ward to the public phone booth, and called Zhong Luozhan. She knew that if she had used her phone to call, he definitely wouldn't have answered.

Zhong Luozhan was in his office reviewing the documents when he saw the phone light up. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered.

I am Zhong Luochen.

The other party's rapid and heavy breathing could be heard, but he did not say a single word.

Lin Xiyao, I know it's you. What are you trying to do now? Zhong Luozhan knew it was her, but she couldn't think of a second person who would do such a thing at this time.

Lin Xiyao chuckled in a low voice. Director Zhong really does have a good method up his sleeve.

Thank you for your praise. After he finished speaking, he was about to hang up.

But, does Director Zhong not want to know what kind of trump card you are still holding in my phone? Lin Xiyao tightly gripped her phone, forcing herself to calmly say these words.

Zhong Luochen suddenly remembered that they once slept together. Could it be that she took some sort of photo?

Does Zhong always want to know? Don't worry, you'll know soon enough. Aren't you very capable? But I don't believe that you can buy all the newspapers and media in the world. Even if I die, I will drag you down with me."

That woman Lin Xiyao was truly an extremely detestable person!

Pata! The pen in his hand was broken by Zhong Luozhen.

He didn't know what Lin Xiyao was talking about, but at this moment, she had already touched his reverse scale. He would no longer show mercy to her.

Lin XIyao, do you believe that as long as you expose a newspaper, I will buy a newspaper? You can try and see if I have the ability! With that, he paused for a moment, then added, Oh right, as for you, I can throw you into the sky, and naturally, I can also turn you into a pile of mud. You can try. I'm looking forward to it.

Zhong Luozhuang! I have accompanied you for so many years, and you really do not care about your old relationship at all? " Lin Xiyao was frightened by his last sentence, and her tone became much softer as well.

Zhong Luozheng scoffed, Hmph, because of these relationships, I already have enough tolerance for you. Don't challenge my bottom line. You can't afford to lose! "

With that, Zhong Luozhan hung up and threw the phone to Yun Xiang, Destroy the phone and get me another number.

Yes. Yun Xiang was about to do something.

Zhong Luozhan called out to him, Find someone to keep an eye on Lin Xiyao. If she makes any small movements, inform me immediately.

As Yun Xiang left the office, Zhong Luozhang reclined back in his boss's chair, rubbing his temples, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Snap. There was a knock at the door.

Thinking that the little assistant had come, Lin Xiyao casually called out. Without raising her head, she continued to read the newspaper.

You should take a good rest. Why bother with these irritating things? A gentle male voice came from the foot of Lin Xi Yao's bed.

Lin Xiyao was puzzled. Who was this voice? It was somewhat familiar, but most of it was unfamiliar. He raised his head and saw the refined Chen Hao wearing a white shirt.

Her heart thumped. She didn't go to find him after getting pregnant, because she didn't think that Chen Hao could give her happiness. And he knew that she had never looked for him since she was pregnant, which suited her perfectly.

Yet, he had appeared tonight? What was he doing here?

Boss Chen, you're only here now, aren't you a little late? Lin Xi Yao took the initiative, and felt that her words seemed to have the intention of blaming him, so she hurriedly explained: I don't have any intention of blaming you, and I have never thought of making you take responsibility. So, Chief Chen can go back now.

The child is mine. Chen Hao didn't pay any attention to Lin Xiyao as he said some strange words, I always knew.

Lin Xi Yao secretly clenched the corner of the newspaper, and raised her head to look at him. So? What did you come here for?

After Chen Hao found out that Lin XIyao was pregnant, he didn't think about it in the beginning. However, the matter became more and more chaotic, and he also watched from the side as if he was watching a good show, so he didn't get Lin XIyao to confirm it.

Afterwards, Lin XIyao's forced marriage failed several times, allowing Chen Hao to understand that this child was his. However, he still didn't want to admit it. He also wanted Lin Xiyao to take care of Zhong Luozheng. In that case, Xia Xiaomin would be his.

But he never would have thought that the situation would develop to this extent. Although he didn't have any feelings for Lin Xiyao, and he, Chen Hao, wasn't any good person, the child was still his.

If he didn't come and do something, Chen Hao's heart wouldn't be at ease.

I'm sorry for letting you encounter such a thing. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. Chen Hao placed the cheque on Lin XIyao's bedside table.

Lin XIyao glanced at the cheque. Recalling the money that Zhong Luozhan had sent over earlier, she couldn't help but bitterly smile.

I don't want your money. Lin Xiyao returned the cheque to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao didn't pick it up, Are you thinking that there's not enough? How much do you want?

Lin Xiyao glanced at the amount on it. 1 million.

No. A lot, but that wasn't what she wanted.

Chen Hao looked at her in confusion. However, he heard her ask him, Do you like Xia Xiaomin?

Why do you ask?

Lin Xiyao's thoughts slowly returned to that night when she met Chen Hao. When they kissed, he had always called out Xia Xiaomin's name.

That night, you kept calling out Xia Xiaomin's name. Lin Xiyao softly said.

Chen Hao felt a little awkward, but Lin Xiyao didn't care in the slightest as she stuffed the cheque into his hand, then raised her head. I want you to do something for me.

What is it?

Lin Xi Yao paused, as if considering something, and then resolutely said: I want you to help me marry Zhong Luozhan. If we join hands and you take down Xia Xiaomin, I will definitely make Zhong Luozhuang marry me."

After hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but frown. He sat on the side of Lin Xiyao's bed and asked, Don't you know that Zhong Luozhan is already married?

Lin Xi Yao was shocked, What did you say? Zhong Luozhuang is married? "

Why was Zhong Luozhan still not getting along well with Xia Xiaomin after their marriage? Then … What about Xia Xiaomin?

It seems like Xia Xiaomin is also married? Chen Hao thought for a moment and said.

Married? How could two married people do that? Lin Xiyao seemed to have thought of something, but it only lasted for an instant, and then it quickly disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

Since Zhong Luozhan was already married, as long as he knew who Zhong Luozheng's wife was, he would tell her about Xia Xiaoming and Zhong Luozhan and let her deal with Xia Xiaomin. That would give him the chance, wouldn't it? Lin Xiyao made up her mind in her heart.

Oh, by the way, do you know who Zhong Luochen's wife is? Lin Xiyao asked.

Chen Hao shook his head. Very few people know that Zhong Luozhan is already married. I've only unintentionally heard about it.

What about Xia Xiaomin's husband? Lin Xiyao continued to ask.

Chen Hao still shook his head. He had always been puzzled about this matter and never once did he ever ask Xia Xiaomin about it.

I'm not sure. However, Xia Xiaomin and her husband don't have a good relationship." Chen Hao added.

CHAPTER 104 - THEN LET THEM BE THE VILLAINS OF BOTH PARTIES

Bad relationship? That was why he found Zhong Luozhuang? Did Zhong Luochang know about Xia Xiaomin's marriage? That's right, he definitely didn't know. Otherwise, with his personality, how could he find a married woman?

Do you know where Xia Xiaomin married off to?

She went to France to get married, it seems, because of her grandfather's will or something. I don't know. Chen Hao laughed as he spoke.

After chatting for a bit, Chen Hao quickly bid farewell to Lin Xiyao.

After sending off Chen Hao, Lin Xiyao started to plan. If she wanted Xia Xiaomin to retreat, she had to find her husband first. No man would like to wear a green hat.

As long as Xia Xiaomin's husband took her away, she would have the same opportunity to be with Zhong Luozheng, and let him see her true face.

Since Lin Xiyao had already made her decision, she didn't want to waste any more time. Within a few days, she had secretly left the hospital and gone to the best private detective agency in the country, where she had entrusted the matter to them for investigation.

Austen was also investigating this matter. Ever since he heard from Xia Xiaomin that they were already married, he asked the housekeeper to send someone to investigate.

However, he hadn't been able to find any information for a long time. Perhaps the information he had brought back was from someone with the same surname and surname as Xia Xiao Min.

This made Austen furious, expelling them all.

Why couldn't he find out? Austen thought to himself, The private detectives hired by our family are all top experts, how could this be?

As a result, Austen sent another batch of people over, and they were even more powerful than the last one.

What he didn't know was that someone was trying to interfere.

...

Boss, I've stopped him. Yun Xiang placed the real information in front of Zhong Luozheng.

Zhong Luochang nodded and instructed Yun Xiang to keep an eye on the situation in France.

Yes. Yun Xiang nodded his head, but he quickly received a message. Boss, another group of people have come. They're quite large and appear to be from two different families.

Zhong Luochen frowned.

The person this time is very powerful, he will follow us from the back, it's very hard to get rid of him. Yun Xiang reported again.

Rubbing his throbbing temples, Zhong Luozheng coldly said, Then let them go in reverse.

The manager sighed and explained, Miss Lin, there is really no other way. After our people went to France, they did find some clues, but soon they would be cut off and there would always be people blocking our way. Later on, we learned that another group of people were also investigating this matter. However, it seems like they did not get anything.

Lin Xiyao frowned. She didn't want to give up just like that, so she said to them, I'll pay three times the price. I must help me investigate this matter.

On this side, Lin XIao had to find out. On the other side, Zhong Luozhan was in his office listening to Yun Xiang's report.

We intercepted them more than ten times and switched them over thirty times. We found out that someone was following us and that our people were trying to follow them, but our people didn't expose them. We let another team do it as a scapegoat.

Zhong Luozhan waved his hand to allow Yun Xiang to leave.

What was going on? Why are there so many people investigating Xia Xiaomin's marriage recently? If he had not made the arrangements, he would not have been able to keep this a secret.

However, how much longer was he going to keep it a secret? Should he tell Xia Xiaomin that he was her legal husband?

However, Zhong Luozhan felt very guilty as long as he thought of the words he said to Xia Xiaomin on his wedding night, as well as the doubts he had about her. After a long time, he became more and more afraid of speaking the truth to her. Only then did he get the people to intercept the people who came to investigate.

Director Zhong, that Austen is waiting for Miss Xia Xiaomin in front of the hotel again. The secretary told Zhong Luochen the news that he had just received.

Zhong Luozhan cut off his informant and admired Austen's perseverance, but it was a different story when it came to his wife.

Xia Xiaomin had an appointment with Austen to have dinner together after work, so she changed her clothes very quickly after work.

Just as he walked out of the kitchen lounge, he saw Manager Su.

Manager Su brought Xia Xiaomin to his office and gave her a signal, Director Zhong is waiting for you inside.

Would he be researching new dishes again? Xia Xiaomin frowned, but as she hadn't seen Zhong Luozheng for a long time, she was a little excited, so she temporarily forgot about Oston's appointment.

Austen waited at the entrance of the hotel for a long time, muttering in his heart. Could it be that Zhong Luozheng got in first and took him away?

Glancing down at the 999 roses in his hand, Austen decided that he had to wait for Xia Xiaomin today. He had to give her the flowers.

As for Xia Xiaomin, she hesitated at the door for a moment before raising her hand to knock.

Come in. Zhong Luozheng's voice came from the door.

Xia Xiaomin took a deep breath, opened the door, and saw Zhong Luozhan standing there with his back facing her. He was tapping his fingers on the table as if he was thinking about something.

Director Zhong. Xia Xiaomin walked over.

Hearing Xia Xiaomin's voice, Zhong Luozhan turned around and looked at her, then casually handed her a document, Previously, your master recommended you to be the head chef. The company has a rule that you have to have a year of study before you can officially become the head chef. However, considering your many contributions to the hotel and the new dishes in this research are very popular, the company decided to exempt you from your internship. After signing this five-year work agreement, you will be the chef of the Howell Hotel.

After hearing Zhong Luozhan's words, Xia Xiaomin was surprised for a long time. She lowered her head to look at the contract, but still couldn't believe it. She confirmed, You're saying … Chef? "

Zhong Luozhan rolled his eyes at her, I won't say it a second time.

Only then did Xia Xiaomin realize the truth. She looked down at the documents, and when she saw the words Recruit Xia Xiaomin as the chef of the hotel, she felt like she was floating in the air. After seeing the benefits and treatment, he was even more excited. He quickly asked Zhong Luochen for a signature.

You've finished reading it? Zhong Luozhan saw that she was looking at him so quickly, so he kindly reminded her, You don't need to look at it again?

Xia Xiaomin held the agreement tightly in her arms, looking at Zhong Luochen suspiciously. You want to go back on your word?

Zhong Luozhuang smiled noncommittally and passed the pen to her.

The only sound in the office was the shua shua sound of the signature. Soon, Xia Xiaomin handed the signed agreement to Zhong Luozhuang.

One or two. Take them yourself. A strange smile appeared on Zhong Luozhuang's face as he passed Xia Xiaomin's contract to her.

However, Xia Xiaomin didn't do much research. After all, she was Howell's chef. Her dream had come true, and that was great!

She wanted to tell everyone about the news, so Xia Xiaomin turned to leave.

Wait a minute! Zhong Luochen called out to Xia Xiaomin.

Xia Xiaomin thought she had stopped him for not bidding him farewell, so she quickly turned around and bowed respectfully, Boss Zhong, don't worry. I will definitely work hard.

Who wants to hear this from you? Come back to the villa with me!" Zhong Luozhan picked up Xia Xiaomin's collar and was about to drag her out of the office.

Xia Xiaomin was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she was already dragged out of the office. She quickly pulled on the door handle, refusing to leave no matter what. She muttered, I'm not going, you promised me that you won't force me to go to the villa. How come you're not going back on your word?

I think the one who didn't say anything was you, Xia Xiaomin! Zhong Luozheng let go of Xia Xiaomin and raised his eyebrows, arms crossed over his chest.

Where did you hear that? You should also be more professional in bluffing, right? " Xia Xiaomin thought proudly to herself. Luckily, she had taken it out to check, otherwise she would have been fooled again.

Zhong Luozheng flipped to the last page of the contract. He pointed to a row of tiny words and said to Xia Xiaomin, Take a look for yourself.

Taking a closer look, there really was a row of small words. The contents were exactly as Zhong Luozhan had said. Xia Xiaomin was dumbfounded, but quickly recovered. Zhong Luochen, you set me up!

Zhong Luochen smiled innocently, I warned you.

It was only then that Xia Xiaomin remembered. Zhong Luozheng had indeed asked her if she should watch more, but her happiness had been overshadowed by her own, allowing him to take advantage of her time.

Looking at Xia Xiaomin's regretful face, Zhong Luozhuang said to her with a serious face, This is a lesson for you, don't just sign it.

Xia Xiaomin snorted coldly. If it weren't for you cheating me on me, how would I have … Thinking about it, she felt that something wasn't right. The benefits were real, and she was going to be the head chef. If she were to say what had caused this, then she must have lost her mind at that time.

Zhong Luozhan shook the car keys in front of Xia Xiaomin, reminding her, Right, if you can't do it, then you'll have to pay ten million.

Ten million? I don't know if I can sell her off! Zhong Luozhan was really asking for an exorbitant price! Xiao Min glared hatefully at his back. Although she was unwilling, she still followed him out.

Xia Xiaomin felt like she had forgotten something. When she reached the hotel and saw Austen and Lu Ni talking outside, she remembered agreeing to go to dinner with them.

Austen was waiting at the door for Xia Xiaomin to get off work, but Lu Ni saw him and came over to talk to him. He had already tried his best to act perfunctory, but this woman just stood there as if she didn't feel anything, talking nonstop. She was simply as annoying as Lin XIyao.

Now that he had finally seen Xia Xiaomin, he threw Lu Ni aside and rushed over to her side, wanting to speak with her.

Xiao Min!

As soon as Austen stopped to stand by her side, Zhong Luochang pulled Xia Xiaomin away.

Zhong Luochen, what do you mean? Oston had long been dissatisfied with Zhong Luozheng. Did he think he did not know the little tricks he had secretly used? Did he think he was easy to mess with?

Zhong Luozheng ignored him, not even giving him a chance to look. He dragged Xia Xiaomin into the car, making him worry.

CHAPTER 105 - GUNPOWDER

Xia Xiaomin looked at the two men. No matter how slow she was, she knew what was going on. However, she had no choice. If she did not go to Zhong Luozheng's villa, she would have to compensate 10 million yuan. Even if she let Oston down, she could only apologize again next time.

Thinking this way, she looked down at Austen, who was standing by her window.

Seeing this scene, Austen felt very sad. He didn't even notice when the car had left.

Seeing the wounded Austen standing there, Lu Ni knew it was because of Xia Xiaomin that he was like this. Once again, jealousy arose in her heart. However, it was only a blink of an eye, and she was already wearing an innocent and kind expression.

Lu Ni walked slowly to Austen's side and comforted him, Don't be sad, Xia Xiaomin and Boss Zhong's relationship isn't simple at all.

Just as he was about to reach out to comfort him, he turned around and threw the rose to the ground as soon as his fingertip touched Austen.

Looking at the direction he left in, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart.

When a staff member came to collect the roses, Lu Ni immediately stopped him, Just give it to me.

The man glanced at Rooney, said nothing, and left with his broom and dustpan.

Lu Ni carried the flower to a place where there was no one else and ruthlessly smashed it on the ground. Seeing the flowers being smashed into pieces by her, she did not release her hatred and stomped on them a few more times.

Xia Xiaomin, I'll let you be like these flowers and let me destroy you! You're only fit to give me a pair of Runner's shoes, and I'm going to ruin your reputation.

After venting, Lu Ni picked up the flower from the ground and threw it into the trash can as she passed by.

On the other side, Zhong Luozhang had already brought Xia Xiaomin to his villa's parking lot. He parked the car and told Xia Xiaomin to get out.

Xia Xiaomin was reminded of the night she left. She thought she would never be able to come back here again.

Zhong Luozhan was the first to leave. When Xia Xiaomin came back to her senses, he had already entered the door. He quickly trotted after her.

The two of them walked into the villa. Zhong Luozhan saw his grandma watching TV and called out, Grandmother, I'm back.

When his grandma turned around, Zhong Luozhan gave her a look.

His grandma saw Xia Xiaomin behind Zhong Luozhan. She was overjoyed, but she also found it strange. His grandma glanced at Zhong Luozhuang, but he signaled her with his eyes. Wait a minute.

The grandma caught Zhong Luozhan's gaze and walked over to hold Xia Xiaomin's hand. She said excitedly, Xiaomin, grandma misses you so much.

Grandma, I missed you too. Xia Xiaomin was acting coquettishly towards her grandma. This was the only light she had here. Without her grandma, she didn't know what to do.

The two of them were in the living room reminiscing about old times, but seeing that they were happily chatting with each other, they completely forgot about his existence. They immediately interrupted their conversation and said to Xia Xiaomin, Have you forgotten what you're here for? Be careful that I don't deduct your salary.

The bullied Xia Xiaomin glanced at her grandma, who smiled at the childish pair and said, Xiaomin, your grandma is hungry. Go cook first.

Hearing that his grandma was hungry, Xia Xiaoming ran into the kitchen without a word.

When Xia Xiaomin entered the kitchen, his grandmother pulled Zhong Luozheng to the side and sat down. She looked at him with a smile, and asked curiously, How did you get Xiaomin to come back?

She came voluntarily. I didn't do anything. Zhong Luochen proudly said.

His grandma had a look of disbelief on her face, urging him, Hurry up and speak honestly, grandma will cooperate with you.

It was his grandma who couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zhong Luozheng's plan.

Shh. Zhong Luochen was afraid that Xia Xiaomin would overhear her grandma's laughter, so she quickly stopped it.

Grandma nodded and looked at her darling grandson with a praising face. She couldn't help praising him, Luo Zhan, I didn't expect you to be so good at this.

Zhong Luozhan's face fell when he heard this. What ability did he have? Grandmother, are you praising me or insulting me?

While they were chatting about Xia Xiaomin, a maid walked up to them and told them it was time to eat.

Zhong Luozheng waved to all the servants to leave, then helped Grandma into the dining room.

Xia Xiaomin placed all the dishes on the table, and when she looked up, she saw Granny and Zhong Luozhuang.

There's still the last bone soup. Wait a moment, I'll go get it.

His grandma immediately pushed Zhong Luozheng and said resentfully, Why aren't you helping him?

Zhong Luochen followed Xia Xiaomin into the kitchen. Seeing her about to go to the stove to get the soup, he stepped in front of her and said, Let me do it.

Xia Xiaomin took a step back, enjoying her leisure time.

Ah! Why is it so hot! The moment Zhong Luozhan touched the edge of the claypot, he hastily retracted his hand. The tip of his right thumb and forefinger instantly turned red.

Xia Xiaomin was holding back her laughter, but when she saw his red fingers, she couldn't bear it any longer. She grabbed his hand and ran it over the sink. She turned on the cold water and rinsed his hands under it.

Fortunately, it's not too serious. We can just rush forward to cool it down. Xia Xiaomin lowered her head to examine his fingers. She turned off the tap and took a tissue to wipe away the water.

Zhong Luozhan never thought that he would one day feel hot in the face, so he quickly retracted his hand and turned around.

Xia Xiaomin didn't understand. She looked at his back with a bit of desolation, but after thinking about it, such a proud person like him must have felt embarrassed. She laughed again.

The awkward atmosphere lightened a lot when she smiled at him. Zhong Luozhuang felt much better, so he turned to ask her, What are you laughing at?

Laughing at you. Xia Xiaomin said without hesitation. She took a pair of cotton gloves from the side and asked, Do you still want to serve the soup?

Zhong Luozhan could tell that Xia Xiaomin was laughing at him! The proud Zhong Luozhuang would never admit that he couldn't even carry out the pot of soup. Why not?

Then put on your gloves! Xia Xiaomin pressed the gloves into Zhong Luochen's hand.

Zhong Luozhan coldly snorted and arrogantly put on his gloves. After patting them twice, he walked over to pick up the claypot, walked out of the kitchen, and put it on the table.

Yo, I didn't know that my grandson could do housework too? As soon as she finished speaking, her grandmother looked at Zhong Luozhuang with a wicked expression.

Sure enough, he turned around and walked back into the kitchen in a flustered manner, throwing the gloves into the trash can.

Zhong Luochen swore that he would never do such a thing again!

For dinner, besides the slight awkwardness at the beginning, the other times were quite harmonious. Looking at the two children sitting opposite to her, Grandma kept feeding them. She felt that the more she looked at them, the more they looked like husband and wife. She was so happy that she ate half a bowl more than usual.

After dinner, Zhong Luozhuang asked the servant to clear the table.

Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Xia Xiaomin said goodbye to her grandma, Grandmother, I'll be going first.

You stay here tonight. Zhong Luozhan didn't intend to let Xia Xiaomin leave.

Xia Xiaomin didn't want to stay, so she said to Zhong Luozhuang, The agreement said that I would make dinner here and breakfast the next day, and didn't ask me to stay the night.

Zhong Luozhan wanted Xia Xiaomin to stay, but he didn't have any ulterior motives. He thought it was already very late, and they had a good atmosphere. He wanted to strike the iron while it was hot.

The grandma noticed that the two kids had frozen again. She glared at Zhong Luozhuang and said gently to Xia Xiaomin, Xiaomin, it's already so late and you're coming to make breakfast for us tomorrow morning. How tired are you? If I stay here tonight, I won't have to worry about it. "

Xia Xiaomin couldn't bear to refuse her grandmother, but she really didn't want to stay behind either. She could only shake her head.

Zhong Luozhan was aware of her insistence, so he didn't force her, but he had to get Wu Bo to send her back. Xia Xiaomin knew this was Zhong Luozheng's biggest concession, so she reluctantly agreed.

Grandma and Zhong Luozhan escorted Xia Xiaomin to the door. Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily the moment they reached the door, making it difficult to see the road clearly.

His grandma took the opportunity to persuade Xia Xiaomin.

Xiao Min, driving in the rain is very dangerous. You should stay here for the night, or Grandmother will worry. "

Xia Xiaomin had no choice but to agree.

Zhong Luozhan glanced at Xia Xiaomin, who was on guard. He sighed and called for Wu Bo. Take her to a servant's room and find a clean one for her to sleep in.

Hearing this, Xia Xiaomin was immediately relieved.

Luo Zhan, wouldn't this be too unfair for Xiao Min? His grandma wanted to continue speaking, but Xia Xiaomin interrupted her, saying that she had rescued her grandma from sleeping in her room.

After Wu Bo took Xia Xiaomin away, Grandma turned around and asked Zhong Luochen, Why did you let her sleep in a room?

Zhong Luozhan, on the other hand, patted her shoulder and comforted her, Grandmother, if you don't do this, then don't even think about falling asleep tonight.

Hearing Zhong Luozheng's words, his grandma suddenly felt that he knew Xia Xiaomin and treated her well. Grandma was relieved, it seemed that this time, Luo Zhan was sincere.

Xia Xiaomin didn't have a dream. She woke up before dawn the next day, and after that, she couldn't sleep anymore. After washing
