Huo Qi glanced at her.
Yan Qiang looked at him from a not too far distance away and asked: "That night at the Ning family banquet, who was the tiger and who was the skin?"
"Whoever is the tiger and who is the skin are not me."
Huo Qi walked in, stood in front of her, and looked down at her condescendingly, "No matter what, you shouldn't blame me for this matter."
Obviously, he knew why Yan Qiang was losing her temper.
She felt that since he could take Ruan Yin away, he should naturally come to Yan Ce's rescue.
"You weren't the one who set up the trap, but weren't you the participant?"
Yan Qiang knew that she was trying to get into trouble, but she just wanted to hear his own explanation. Even if he lied to her and said "no", she was willing to believe him.
But Huo Qi didn't.
"Innocent."
Huo Qi snorted, his deep eyes filled with coldness, "Do you think Yan Ce would have gone out without me taking Ruan Yin away? Would he have met Ning Huanhuan?"
"Then you should also-"
"Save him? What is my relationship with him? Why?"
Huo Qi shattered Yan Qiang's expectations little by little. His tone was cold, but it was also true, "With you? How much weight do you think you have in my heart?"
Leaving aside Yan Qiang, Yan Ce and Huo Qi are not even friends.
What's more, the two of them almost had a fight in Jingyuan not long ago.
"Then there is absolutely no need for you to give Huo Shirui any more——"
"She is reaping the consequences. What does it have to do with me?"
Huo Qi bent over, resting his hands on the sofa, looking straight at Yan Qiang, his eyes heavy, "You should thank me. It wasn't me who set up the situation. I took Ruan Yin away, solved Yan Ce's predicament, and made the Yan family a better place." Being a perfect victim, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Yan Qiang was dazzled by the suppressed anger in his eyes.
She opened her mouth, and after a while she said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. And, thank you."
She cares too much!
He cared so much about Huo Qi taking away Ruan Yin that he got into this dead end and forgot who was the instigator.
After Huo Qi's indifferent analysis, she realized what mistake she had made.
"Be good."
Huo Qi reached out and touched her face, with a hoarse voice, "An'an, don't cause trouble with the Huo family."
Yan Qiang leaned back and avoided his hand, "You take care of your people first."
She was talking about Ruan Yin.
Huo Qi paused, pinched her left cheek forcefully, and laughed almost inaudibly, "Did she really slap that slap?"
Yan Qiang felt guilty for a while: "What?"
"If she really had the guts, you would have more than just a slap mark on your face."
Huo Qi let go of her face, straightened up, and looked at her with his clear eyes, "I didn't expose you, I just tolerated your little temper, so don't push it on your nose."
Huo Qi left.
Yan Qiang was still curled up on the sofa and didn't respond for a long time.
It turns out he knows everything.
…
Yan Qiang returned to Qingzhou the next night.
Before going back, she asked Yan's legal affairs staff to draw up a contract and negotiate with Yang Wenming. At noon, she made an appointment with her brother for dinner.
Yan Ce stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged.
Yan Ce didn't know about Yan Qiang's car accident yet, and she didn't dare to tell Yan Ce. They only talked for a while about the night of the Ning family's banquet.
"Why does the Huo family suddenly want to marry you?"
Yan Qiang has always been surprised by this.
Huo Shirui's behavior clearly indicated that he did not want this marriage to be established, otherwise he would not have been so bold in plotting against Yan Ce and Ruan Yin at the Ning family banquet.
"The marriage may not be true." Yan Ce was still sober. "Huo Shiqian is only 20 years old, and there are still two years left before the legal age for marriage. There are big changes in this."
"He wants to win over you?"
Yan Qiang could roughly guess Huo Zhongkang's thoughts at this moment.
Huo Qi gave no resistance to the Yan family, which is why the Yan family has gone from being in danger to being the leader in the industry in just two years.
Huo Zhongkang wanted Huo Qi to control the Huo family, but he was also afraid that Huo Qi would be cruel to him after he took control of the Huo family.
He was afraid of Huo Qi.
After all, he was the one who abandoned his wife and son in the first place!
It's normal for Huo Qi to hate him.
Huo Zhongkang knew that Huo Qi had secretly supported the Yan family in the past two years, so he wanted to win over the Yan family through marriage. In the future, when the Huo Qi family became the dominant family, Yan Ce could prevent him from being forced to death by Huo Qi.
"What happened that night at the Ning family banquet happened just right. I have already refused."
Yan Ce had no intention of marrying the Huo family.
"What did the Huo family say?"
"I account for 3% of the commercial street project in the south of Huojia City, and the Yan family will take care of the garden project in the north of the commercial street."
Yan Qiang was surprised: "Why are the Huo family so generous?"
Yan Ce silently picked up the water glass.
Yan Qiang was startled, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Who else but Huo Qi could make the Huo family so generous?
Huo Zhongkang wanted to calm things down.
After all, Huo Shirui designed not only Yan Ce but also Ruan Yin.
If Huo Qi really wants to pursue the case, Huo Zhongkang cannot protect Huo Shirui.
But it was hard for Yan Qiang not to think about whether Huo Qi was so generous and allowed the Yan family to participate in the Chengnan Commercial Street project. Did he also feel that he was not taking away Yan Ce that night, so he was compensated.
But he made it clear that he had no obligation to rescue her brother.
…
Yan Qiang returned to Qingzhou.
The filming of "Nine Days" was in full swing. She was concentrating on filming these days and didn't pay much attention to things in Jinghai.
Until Ning Huanhuan called her and told her that Huo Shirui and Ning Zicheng were getting engaged.
Yan Qiang was not surprised by this.
However, she learned from Ning Huanhuan that Huo Zhongkang's original date for Huo Shirui was Su You, Su Wanzhen's nephew.
This generation of the Su family is declining.
Su You is the only son of the Su family.
But he was born weak and sickly, so the old man of the Su family named him Su You, with the intention of protecting him from growing up safely.
"I have to say, your ex-boyfriend's move is a complete blow to the bottom of the pot."
"If Huo Shirui marries him, as long as she doesn't commit suicide, she will be rich and honorable for the rest of her life."
Ning Huanhuan didn't say anything else.
But Yan Qiang knew what she meant.
Huo Shirui marries Su You, and as long as she lives in peace and harmony, all this wealth will be hers!
And Huo Zhongkang will also have a strong backer.
But now, because Huo Shirui set up Ruan Yin, Huo Qi became angry and "vented his anger on Ruan Yin". A glass of wine not only ruined Huo Shirui's unprecedented wealth, but also cut off the relationship between Huo Zhongkang and the Su family!
The Su family will definitely not let Su You marry a woman who has slept with others and made it known to everyone.
He would even look at the second roommate of the Huo family coldly because he embarrassed them.
The Ning family is now controlled by Ning Huanhuan's father, and the old man is in charge. Ning Zicheng's father is the third eldest son of the Ning family and does not have much real power in his hands.
Ning Zicheng himself is also an ignorant master.
There was a huge difference between Huo Shirui marrying him and marrying Su You.
Huo Qi's move was indeed a blow to the bottom of the pot.
"Hey, Yan Qiang," Ning Huanhuan said with great interest on the phone, "Do you think your ex-boyfriend really did it out of anger for the beauty, or did he use the topic to his advantage?"
