Chapter 665 The Intervening Person
When Zhuang Zhoucheng heard this, his face instantly turned dark.
"Could you trouble the old man to ask Master Qi to come back? I have something personal to ask Master Qi."
Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't beat around the bush. He came to see Qi Wenshan, so there was no need to drink tea.
"That beast is not worthy of Mr. Zhuang's 'advice'. Mr. Zhuang Sanye is very powerful now. He has already sat on the throne. It is not easy for him to carry the family." The old man of the Qi family laughed.
After saying this, he asked someone to call the young master and tell him that a distinguished guest was visiting and he must come back immediately.
Zhuang Zhoucheng said politely:
"Master Qi's abilities are obvious to all. Among the younger generation, he is one of those whom my nephew admires."
Mr. Qi was still happy when he heard this, and immediately said:
"That beast of ours only has some empty skills. How could he possibly be capable of supporting this family? Compared to the Third Master, he's still a bit inferior."
This is a sincere statement. As a father, you must know how capable your son is.
The younger generations of the Qi family are all capable people. In terms of ability, the eldest brother is naturally stronger, but in terms of management and calmness, the eldest brother is not as good as the second brother.
The Qi family and the Zhuang family are rivals, but the old man really admires Zhuang Zhoucheng's abilities. Zhuang Zhoucheng combines the strengths of his two sons. He can take on the entire Zhuang family at this age, so his abilities cannot be underestimated.
Qi Wenshan came back quite quickly. As soon as he entered the door, Zhuang Zhoucheng stood up and walked over.
"Master Qi, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng went out first. Qi Wenshan smiled and looked up at his father. He saw the warning in his father's eyes, smiled, turned around and followed him out.
How could Qi Wenshan not understand his father’s worries?
The Zhuang family and the Qi family have always kept their distance from each other. As long as there is no obvious interest involved, it is best for them to rule the country and not interfere with each other. This has been a tacit understanding reached by the older generations of the two families for many years.
Of course, the Qi family is the most concerned when the head of the Zhuang family changes. It is unclear what strategy this young generation will adopt after taking the position of head of the family.
If they insist on breaking the peace and competing with the Qi family, the Qi family will have no choice but to join them.
Qi Wenshan followed behind Zhuang Zhoucheng, and the two stood in the empty courtyard. The two tall and graceful figures looked very attractive from a distance.
All the servants of the Qi family withdrew and stayed far away, not daring to disturb them.
Zhuang Zhoucheng asked directly, but Qi Wenshan kept beating around the bush.
"Hey, Third Master's wife is missing, how did she find me?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng intimidated Qi Wenshan with his eyes.
Qi Wenshan tried to save face by laughing, but of course he was afraid of getting mad at people. He raised his hand and patted Zhuang Zhoucheng on the shoulder, then said bluntly:
"Today, when I went to the city, I found a poor cat... Oh, it was crying so miserably. I felt pity for it, so I brought it back. I asked someone to accompany it to go shopping, watch a movie, or something. What, could it be your wife, Mr. Zhuang Sanye?"
"Where is the man?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng was in no mood to practice Tai Chi with others, and his impatience was evident in his words and actions.
"He's fine." Qi Wenshan answered the question irrelevantly.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's face darkened. "Master Qi, you don't want the two families to upset the current balance because of this, right?"
"Oh, Third Master, are you angry out of shame?" Qi Wenshan still smiled:
"The fact that the Third Master came to your house in person for a woman really surprised me. I originally wanted to pack up the things for you and send them back home immediately, but since you are so eager to see your young wife, I suddenly changed my mind and will send them back to you in two days. What do you think?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng's anger was immediately apparent: "Are you challenging me?"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If Third Master wants to deal with Qi and his ilk, it's just a matter of your words. But let me remind you, Third Master, that although you are in power now, you haven't yet secured the position of the head of the family, right? Oh, of course, this is just my guess, and I don't mean to look down on your ability, Third Master. But I want to remind you that this concerns the safety of your young wife, so you'd better wait for news. She is with me. If Third Master refuses to cooperate even with this, then I can only use despicable means to inflict my punishment on that little kitten."
Qi Wenshan laughed out loud.
The old man didn't want to break this peaceful situation, but he was a little itchy.
Otherwise, give it a try?
The gloomier Zhuang Zhoucheng's expression, the more sinister Qi Wenshan's smile became.
In the end, Zhuang Zhoucheng gave in.
Qi Wenshan looks gentle, but he is a ruthless character. If he is pushed into a corner, he can do anything.
Zhuang Zhoucheng had to consider Huo Yan's safety.
After leaving Qi's house, Zhuang Zhoucheng sat in the car for a long time before driving away.
In order to become a superior person, he must sacrifice something.
Huo Yan is the rib across his chest. If he gives up on her, it would be like pulling out the rib.
Zhuang Zhoucheng wanted Huo Yan to study abroad at this moment, so divorce was out of the question. He wanted to expand his business, so he couldn't take care of her during this period.
But if he agreed to let Huo Yan go abroad, Zhuang Zhoucheng would feel uneasy.
After all, Huo Yan is young and has such a charming face. Among international students, how many Orientals are attracted to each other?
There are countless such situations where we are in a foreign country and are each other's companions.
When Zhuang Zhoucheng thought of this, he felt as if a thorn was stuck in his heart, causing him pain and blockage.
Letting her go abroad is no different from breaking up.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and he dismissed the idea the next moment.

Huo Yan looked at Qian Ziang's shameless smile and was really annoyed by him.
"I don't want to watch a movie!"
Qian Ziang just tried to persuade her, calling her "good sister" left and right, which made Huo Yan furious.
Qian Ziang arrived in the capital early in the morning, but due to the tight security around the hospital, no one could get in, so he never saw Huo Yanren.
Fortunately, she ran away on her own, which gave Qian Ziang the opportunity to kidnap her.
Qi Wenshan also knew that Qian Ziang had no ill will towards this poor little thing, so he gave him a chance to play with the little guy and was willing to let him take care of it.
Huo Yan was so annoyed that he turned around and left.
Young Master Qian followed her like Daddy-Long-Legs, talking a lot of nonsense.
Huo Yan was tired from walking, and Qian Ziang finally satisfied him and took him into the cinema.
"It's still more comfortable in here, right? It's so romantic."
Young Master Qian grinned with his white teeth in a foolish smile.
Huo Yan turned his head and glared at him:
"Tune you big head ghost!"
"You're so fierce, no wonder your man doesn't want you."
Young Master Qian was fighting with her blindly. Such a sensitive issue would not be raised by anyone with tact at this moment.
But Qian Ziang is the type who deserves a beating.
Huo Yan gritted his teeth and glared at him.
Qian Ziang stared at her dark eyes for a while, raised his hand to straighten her head and said:
"Watch the movie, dear, it's starting."
Huo Yan glared at him again and said nothing more.
Qian Ziang was sitting in an awkward position, leaning sideways on the chair, his eyes fixed on Huo Yan's profile.
I was actually quite curious in my heart. It turns out that this is the tune I like.
Huo Yan's previous phone call to Qian Ziang had already made Qian Ziang concerned, and after that Ali came to him again.
When Ali came to the door, the old fox Qian Ziang had guessed what had happened almost exactly.
Are you panicking?
Are you in a hurry?
You're afraid that the truth will be exposed and your position will be threatened, so you want to hire someone to kill someone, right?
No matter what that gentleman's plan is, the relationship between these two people is now coming to an end.
Even if Qian Ziang looked at this matter from a man's perspective, he still couldn't figure out what Zhuang Zhoucheng's original intention was in keeping this matter secret.
Neither of us was responsible that time. It was purely an accident. What is there to hide?
An outsider would understand this at a glance.
Huo Yan walked out of the cinema, followed by Qian Ziang, who put his coat on her.
"I'm not cold."
Huo Yan frowned and took off the clothes. Qian Ziang rolled his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"Hold it for me first, it will be more convenient for me to go." Qian Ziang patted her shoulder and said.
Huo Yan was a little embarrassed, "Oh..."
"Silly."
Qian Ziang laughed out loud and went straight to the bathroom.
At the corner of the empty hall, several shutter clicks snapped a series of photos. The expressions and movements were extremely clear. From the angle, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a couple in love flirting with each other.
The man carrying the camera disappeared quickly without attracting anyone's attention.
Qian Ziang came out and Huo Yan handed him the clothes. Qian Ziang held his hands full of water in front of her.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Huo Yan was unhappy.
"What do you want to eat? Cake, ice cream?" Qian Ziang asked with a smile.
Huo Yan shook his head:
"I'm fat enough..."
"This is just right. It's much better than the skinny monkey look before. If a woman is too thin, the man should hold her hand, understand?"
Qian Ziang always speaks in the same way, and it is hard to tell which of his words are true and which are false.
Huo Yan suddenly stopped and looked back at Qian Ziang, probably because she thought he could also comfort people, which surprised her.
"Are you fascinated by your brother?" Qian Ziang asked, brushing away the loose hair on his forehead.
Huo Yan suddenly burst out laughing:
"Does anyone treat you as a woman? You have such great skin, do you often use face masks?"
The smile on Qian Ziang's face faded, and his eyes fell on her meaningfully.
"You seem angry. Here, I'll give you your clothes back. Stop looking for opportunities to bully others. I'm not as stupid as you think."
Huo Yan threw the clothes to Qian Ziang, curled his lips, and left first.
"Please treat me to some Haagen-Dazs."
Qian Ziang smiled and followed: "Okay."
Huo Yan sat in an outdoor seat, while Qian Ziang was scrolling through his phone with boredom, glancing at her from time to time and taking a few photos secretly.
"How old are you this year?" Qian Ziang suddenly asked.
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at him blankly.
