Then, Xu Jingzhi returned to his room and gave Huo Zizhen a call. Although he was young, he still knew what it meant to ask the person involved for confirmation.
The call was quickly picked up. Huo Zizhen did not expect the dignified Young Master of the Xu family to remember her number.
“Sister Zizhen, long time no see.”
“Young Master Xu, what’s the matter?” Huo Zizhen asked politely. “It’s nothing. I was just chatting with Mrs. Mu. She mentioned that you’re not feeling well and that you’ve been hurt, so I called to express my concern.”
Unexpectedly, Huo Zizhen snorted coldly after hearing this. She thought to herself, Mu Qingya, that b*tch, not only did she pretend to be miserable, she even used Huo Weichen and her to deceive people.
“Tell me your true intention for making this call.”
In Xu Jingzhi’s impression, Huo Zizhen was even more self-centered than Mu Qingya. She was really famous in the circle when she said that she looked down on every poor person equally. This was also the reason why his parents didn’t allow him to get close to Huo Zizhen. So, when he made this call, he actually thought that Huo Zizhen would definitely scold Huo Jiuxiao and his wife from head to toe. However, she didn’t and was very calm.
“No, I just…”
“You just want to know if Huo Jiuxiao really did this to me. You’re afraid that you’ll frame a good person because of Huo Shengyuan.” Huo Zizhen exposed him.
“Sister Zizhen…”
“What else did Mu Qingya say? Huo Jiuxiao was the one to put Huo Weichen in prison too?”
Xu Jingzhi was speechless.
“I know you owe Huo Shengyuan a debt of gratitude, so you’ll stand in his shoes and protect him. After all, everyone is watching. Look, Huo Shengyuan is working hard in the Huo family and has given everything. But Jingzhi, have you ever thought that everything in the Huo family should belong to Huo Jiuxiao? What did it mean to have a child in marriage? Don’t tell me you don’t understand?”
Xu Jingzhi was stunned.
“I’ve already said so much, so let me tell you a few more shocking things. Brother Shengyuan, who you trust the most, hired a hitman to kill Huo Jiuxiao time and time again. Huo Jiuxiao was forced to go back to the Huo family and deal with this bunch of trash…”
“Of course, these words are too subversive of your worldview. Let’s get back to me. It was indeed Huo Jiuxiao’s doing that I was chased out of the Huo family, but because I also participated in framing him, I deserved it. But the person who crippled me and even wanted my life was Huo Weichen. The person who saved my life was, ironically, Huo Jiuxiao. And your Brother Shengyuan, from the beginning to the end, has been watching us fight each other coldly.”
“As for Huo Weichen, he committed the crime himself. Why is Mu Qingya blaming Huo Jiuxiao for this? Looks like she’s really panicking…”
“I’ve told you so much today. I hope you won’t mention it to anyone and don’t drag me into it. I’m disabled and I just want to live in the Huo family.”
“I understand, Sister Zizhen.” Xu Jingzhi promised.
In fact, the two of them had a tacit understanding. If Xu Jingzhi believed it, he wouldn’t have called to verify it. Since he had come to verify it, it meant that Mu Qingya’s brainwashing of him was not successful at all.
Was the child of the Xu family really that bad? Even though Xu Jingzhi and his father didn’t get along, it didn’t mean that he was a fool. Not to mention, he had been in the army for many years.
Because of this phone call, Huo Zizhen felt happy again.
The more Huo Shengyuan wanted to win, the more she wanted to drag him down.
Huo Zizhen’s words had a huge impact on Xu Jingzhi. Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to believe it all. However, based on Huo Zizhen’s words and Lin Wanli’s conversation with her mother in the pavilion, he could roughly deduce what kind of people Huo Jiuxiao and his wife were.
In any case, she wasn’t a hypocrite like Mu Qingya who was full of lies.
As for Huo Shengyuan, his feelings were still complicated. He had always wanted to believe him, but…
The servant deliberately spread the news of Xu Jingzhi scolding Lin Wanli in the corridor. Of course, Mu Qingya was overjoyed. Young children were easy to control. She only needed to provoke them lightly to achieve his goal.
In the infirmary, Mother Xu was checking her body. At this time, Lin Wanli walked to Mu Qingya’s side and said to her. “You can’t win, so you used the child. Aren’t your methods a little too despicable?”
“I also want to ask Sister-in-law. This isn’t the first time you and Auntie have met, right? Can I also reasonably suspect that you hid Huiwen and the baby?” “You have a rich imagination.” Lin Wanli replied calmly.
“Everyone is doing this for their husband. No matter what means they use, isn’t it all for the same purpose? Sister-in-law, you and big brother crossed the line so much that it makes me sad and angry. Shengyuan has worked hard for many years, and you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of success. Aren’t you too shameless?
Lin Wanli chuckled as if she didn’t take Mu Qingya’s words to heart. Xu Jingzhi is not the child you think he is. If you use him too hard, be careful of the backlash. ”
“Sister-in-law, are you afraid? However, don’t worry. After all, there’s still a lot to see at the birthday banquet.”
After all, who would know a deaf and uncouth poor daughter-in-law?
“Is that so? Then let’s wait and see.” Lin Wanli left Mu Qingya’s side after saying those harsh words. Her emotions were very stable from the beginning to the end.
Mu Qingya didn’t know anything else, but she knew that what the servants said was true.
Xu Jingzhi scolded Lin Wanli profusely, yet she didn’t even look at her own status, pui..
