PFC Chapter 471: House Arrest
Chapter 471: House Arrest
Zhuang Zhoucheng's almost ruthless attitude was just like when they first met.
Huo Yan felt wronged again, so she crawled to his side obediently and fell asleep next to him.
Huo Yan sniffed and shouted softly, choking a little:
"Zhuang Zhoucheng..."
Holding his clothes, Zhuang Zhoucheng lifted her up and half hung her on him, whispering:
"Huo Yan, be obedient."
Huo Yan didn't say anything. Zhuang Zhoucheng pinched her shoulder and then responded muffledly:
"Ah."
Huo Yan was under house arrest from the next day and was not allowed to go out.
Huo Yan went crazy in the villa and smashed an antique vase worth 1.2 million yuan.
Lu Zeng said calmly:
"This antique is a piece of porcelain I bought at an auction in Beijing two years ago. It's the best quality one, and its market value is now two million."
Huo Yan turned to look at Lu Zeng, his eyes filled with anger.
"I want to go to school!"
He walked directly in front of Lu Zeng, put the porcelain piece in his hand to his throat, and said coldly:
"Let me out!"
"Huo Yan, calm down, okay?"
Lu Zeng was embarrassed. "If I let you go, I would be derelict in my duty. You know I can't make the decision on this matter. Please don't make it difficult for me."
"I want to go out!" Huo Yan's voice became louder.
Lu Zeng directly revealed his cards:
"The Third Master has instructed that Miss Huo Yan can only stay in the villa and cannot go anywhere! Until the day of the engagement. Huo Yan, I'm sorry."
Huo Yan looked at Lu Zeng with red eyes and gritted her teeth.
Until the engagement day?
He put her under house arrest, was this for her own good?
Huo Yan pressed his hand on his throat, and a piercing pain spread instantly. His brows were furrowed, and a drop of blood came out.
"Then let me go to the hospital and cut off my hand. Do you think Zhuang Zhoucheng will blame you for not fulfilling your responsibilities?"
"Huo Yan..."
Lu Zeng subconsciously took a step forward, and Huo Yan quickly stepped back, shouting to stop him:
"Don't come over! Lu Zeng, let me out."
"Huo Yan, Third Master has made it very clear. Of all people, you and I are closest. If I let you out, Third Master will fire me the next moment and even have me sued. Huo Yan, even if you leave today, you still have to come back. Tomorrow, it could be Wancheng or Suohe guarding here. If they are forced to let you out, they will also be fired. Then there will be more people you haven't seen here."
Lu Zeng said frankly that the gentleman was only being nice to her.
But don't forget, he is a fierce tiger and he is always ruthless in doing things.
Whatever he wants, whether it is money, status, or love or women, there is nothing he cannot get.
No matter what the process is, he only cares about the results!
Lu Zeng finally sighed helplessly:
"Huo Yan, Third Master won't make things difficult for you, but he will for us. I can't stop you from leaving. If you do that, the consequences I have to bear will be even more severe. So, if you really don't care about the lives of others and really want to go out, then go ahead."
Huo Yan looked at Lu Zeng, sniffed her red nose, then threw away the porcelain piece in her hand and looked at him.
"You all forced me to do this. You're helping the evil, you know? I treated you like my big brother, but now I understand that you only work for Zhuang Zhoucheng. All those words about doing things for my own good were lies!"
After saying this, Huo Yan went upstairs without even looking at Lu Zeng.
She began to inquire about the competition. In fact, she was not sure that she would be included in the exchange student quota. She did not perform well in the finals in Hong Kong.
Zhuang Zhoucheng arrived at the villa at three o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Zeng said a few simple words, mainly because Huo Yan might not be in a good mood.
In addition, there was Huo Yan’s phone bill that was sent from Wancheng an hour ago.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took a look and didn't take it seriously after finding no suspicious number.
Seeing that Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't pay attention, Lu Zeng said again:
"Ms. Huo Yan seems to attach great importance to the competition she participated in before. She called three organizers today."
Zhuang Zhoucheng paused and understood that what she cared about was probably not the ranking.
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now." Zhuang Zhoucheng said and went upstairs directly.
Lu Zeng lowered his head slightly, turned around and walked out.
Huo Yan didn't know that Zhuang Zhoucheng had returned and was writing an email to Ji Wuwei.
The girl's efforts were not in vain. She could handle simple emails easily, and the emails went back and forth very quickly. This was the way they communicated, and only one email account was required, which was relatively safe.
Zhuang Zhoucheng reduced his presence to a minimum, approached almost silently, and watched her communicate with Ji Wuwei.
"You're participating in the competition because you want to study abroad. You should tell me about this."
Zhuang Zhoucheng finally spoke in a low voice. He didn't see any ambiguity in his words, but Huo Yan was worried that he would not be selected.
Of course, he also understood why she wanted to study abroad. He still remembered how scared she was when she went to Beijing, and now she was willing to go abroad.
There was no other reason, just to avoid him.
When Huo Yan heard the voice, his body stiffened immediately. He turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng who had been standing behind him without him noticing.
Their eyes met, and Huo Yan looked away in panic, turned his head back, and hurriedly closed the email with trembling hands.
“I don’t want to go abroad…”
At the same time, he turned off the computer, lowered his head and tried to go out from the other side to avoid Zhuang Zhoucheng.
It's only a little after three o'clock. How could she have expected him to come back at this time?
"let's talk."
Zhuang Zhoucheng pulled her to the sofa on the side. Huo Yan tried to break free, but Zhuang Zhoucheng held her tightly.
Zhuang Zhoucheng pushed Huo Yan into the single sofa, and he sat down opposite her.
"I want to study abroad. Tell me your thoughts and plans, okay?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng tried to speak in the most gentle way possible, looking into her eyes without any danger.
"I have no intention of doing so."
Huo Yan couldn't accept his gaze and simply lowered her head.
"Look at me and say."
Zhuang Zhoucheng's tone became a little serious. She couldn't stand any kind words and had to listen to him in this way before she could hear a word.
Huo Yan raised his eyes, looked at Zhuang Zhoucheng, and said cunningly:
"I just thought about it, I don't mean anything else."
"Why did you lie to me? Huh? What was the tone and manner you used to Ji Wuwei just now, and to me..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng tried his best to suppress the discomfort and jealousy that was surging in his heart and ignore the impact of this differential treatment on his emotions.
"I do not have……"
Huo Yan bit her lip and buried her face again. She lacked confidence but still denied it flatly.
If she doesn't admit it, is he going to force her to admit it?
"Yan'er..."
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness.
