As she spoke these words that she had suppressed in her heart, Lin XIao instantly felt much more at ease in her heart. Although this was very disappointing for Zhong Luozheng, who had always been able to take care of her, and loved her as much as she could.

She also knew that Zhong Luozhang never interfered with her work. Her fame and opportunities were earned through her own hard work. Her agents knew about this, and the people around her who had fought with her until this point knew about it.

However … The audience, the viewers, and the netizens all thought otherwise. The media's scouting and scouting, as well as some misleading entertainment reports, all guided those who were outside of the circle towards a path that wasn't true.

Other people did not care about the truth of the story. As long as they could make them happy, have a topic to discuss, and get enough attention, who would care?

The haughty Lin Xiyao couldn't stand her own efforts and was trampled upon by those dirty reports. Among them, the most eye-catching was nothing but the scandal between her and Zhong Luozheng.

"XIao Yao, is this what you've been thinking all along?" He did not rage nor did he fly into the air. Instead, he unexpectedly sat in his seat and asked with a calm voice that suppressed his emotions.

"Yes. I've said everything I needed to say, I don't have any more time left … I'm leaving. " Lightly sighing, even though she knew Zhong Luozhuang asked this because she couldn't accept it, Lin XIyao kept on convincing herself that she couldn't let him off the hook.

In the end, after leaving behind these words, Lin Xiyao turned around and left. During this time, she didn't even look back once, causing Zhong Luozheng to feel utter despair. He also deeply felt her heartlessness.

Zhong Luozheng quietly pondered for a long time in his room before convincing himself to let go. He was unnaturally calm. Even though he loved Lin XIyao, he hadn't lost his mind to the extent of loving her.

Since it was what she wanted, Zhong Luozhuang let her go and no longer pestered her. He never went back on his word and remembered that he had promised her that if she asked for anything, he would agree to it without any conditions.

With an empty heart, he once again picked up the cup of wine that he had placed to one side. His empty eyes gazed out the window at the ash-yellow sky, his cold lips touching the edge of the wine cup as he unhesitatingly drank it all in one gulp.

One cup after the other, those dark and clear eyes gradually became hazy and cloudy. Zhong Luozheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the empty wine bottle, then finally put down the cup in his hand. He rested his elbows on the armrest of the chair, supporting his heavy and chaotic head, temporarily clearing away all his worries.

Unfortunately, the heavens didn't seem to want him to be at peace. The large room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing could be heard. The next second, the phone's noisy ringing interrupted Zhong Luozhuang's thoughts.

The slightly drunk Zhong Luozhan frowned in displeasure. He almost wanted to grab his phone and ruthlessly smash it.

Fortunately, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the name 'Grandma' on the screen. He immediately suppressed the urge to throw the phone away.

In a split-second, he sat upright, his mind that was eroded by alcohol instantly became a little clearer.

He coughed lightly and cleared his throat. Then, he pressed the answer button. He turned to the old man on the other side of the phone and asked, "Grandma, why did you call me?"

His tone was so obedient that it didn't sound like the usual ice-cold Director Zhong at all. If his employees saw it, they would definitely be greatly shocked.

"What are you talking about? Did Xiao Min see it? "Even though you two got married before meeting each other, but training and nurturing feelings is good enough. It's more reasonable to be in love with each other in the long run …"

Old Granny Zhong couldn't stop herself from speaking. She knew her grandson's temper very well. It was absolutely impossible for him to accept the marriage in such a muddled manner.

But she was in France and she couldn't go back, and she was afraid they wouldn't get along, so she called to check on the situation and advised Zhong Luozhuang.

"Grandmother …"

Hearing Old Granny Zhong's tone, it seemed as if she was quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law of hers. For a moment, Zhong Luochen didn't know how to tell her that he wasn't satisfied with this marriage, so he decided to kick out Xia Xiaomin's woman.

The alcohol that had just dispersed took effect again, causing Zhong Luozheng's head to swell and ache. He rubbed his temples and felt a little better.

Luo Zhan? Luo Zhan, did you listen to your grandma? " Old Granny Zhong was full of energy as she spoke, but she found Zhong Luozheng didn't say a word. She thought he wasn't listening, so she stopped and called for a few times.

"Grandma, I'm here." With a sigh in his heart, Zhong Luochen couldn't bear to tell him the truth, so he hid it.

"Yes, did you hear what I said?"

"Yes." Zhong Luozhuang answered absent-mindedly, but he could only take one step at a time.

"Then after a while, bring Xiao Min back for me to see!" Old Granny Zhong smiled with her eyes narrowed, feeling very satisfied with her grandson's reaction. She had never seen it before, except for the time she had seen Xia Xiaomin in the photo!

"Good …" "What!?" Out of habit, Zhong Luozhan answered without any hesitation. After he quickly reacted, he stood up with a 'whoosh' and immediately became anxious.

"What? I'll let you bring my grandson's wife back for me to see." Old Granny Zhong thought Zhong Luozhan didn't hear her clearly, so she repeated her words in a bad mood.

"Grandmother, there's no rush." Holding his forehead, Zhong Luozhuang felt a headache. What should be done this time?

"What's not urgent? Very urgent! Grandmother is already so old, how about you?! Not married for so long! I won't even have the chance to hug your great-grandson! " Old Granny Zhong changed her pleasant expression from before and started recounting the crimes that Zhong Luozhan committed.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. But Grandmother, we're newly married, so we should at least cultivate our relationship and go through the world of two people first, right? It's very awkward for us to be together when you're so blind and dumb. "

In the end, the helpless Zhong Luozhuang could only compromise, persuade, and come up with all sorts of reasons to deal with that old man in France.

"Stinking brat!" And you know how to cultivate feelings. Okay, I'll give you time, but remember to bring it back for me to see. " Afraid that Zhong Luozhuang would go back on his word, before hanging up, Old Granny Zhong emphasized her words again and again.

"Of course." Zhong Luochen promised.

Only after hearing these two words did Old Lady Zhong hang up with satisfaction.

Taking off the phone that was placed beside his ear, Zhong Luozheng helplessly sighed as he felt that he had been tricked.

It seemed that no matter what, his family would not let him give up on this marriage so easily. As for him, he had to get involved with this vain woman.

Although he had kicked Xia Xiaomin out, their marriage still existed. Zhong Luozhan had to find her if he wanted to break the relationship.

After this incident, this Xia Xiaomin must have hated him to the bones, right? After all, if he was kicked out on the wedding night, things would be much easier.

Although he thought about it, Zhong Luozheng was cautious. He didn't go to Xia Xiaomin for help, instead, he chose to observe her for a while to see what she looked like.

With this thought in mind, it was obviously time to take action. He picked up his phone and dialed Yun Xiang's number. Soon after, a knock came from the door.

"Come in."

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Yun Xiang had been guarding downstairs the entire time, so he naturally knew that Lin Xiyao had left with a bad complexion. The moment he entered the room, the strong smell of alcohol assailing his nostrils indicated that something terrible had happened.

However, Yun Xiang knew what his duty was and had never asked Zhong Luozheng about his personal matters. He was the person Zhong Luozheng trusted the most, even if he did not take more than half a step.

"Help me check where Xia Xiaomin is now." Zhong Luozhuang returned to his seat and returned to his original appearance as Yun Xiang had when he first came in.

His tone was calm and indifferent, and not a single thread of thought could be heard. It was as if Lin Xiyao's arrival just now was just a dream, and nothing had happened between them.

What was even more unexpected was that Old Lady Zhong's interference had completely occupied Zhong Luozhan's mind with that big brother and woman, Xia Xiaomin. He had completely forgotten about Lin Ximing's matter.

"Boss, she's at the Hall Hotel." Before Zhong Luozhan's words, Yun Xiang had already investigated everything about Xia Xiaomin.

However, he didn't like to take credit, so he was waiting for Zhong Luo to open his mouth to ask.

Although Yun Xiang did not talk much, just like him, he always put on a face of 'don't want to enter', but his ability to do things was unquestionable. This way, he would not fight over things, and his personality was also one of the reasons why Zhong Luozhuang placed him so highly.

"Howell Hotel …" Hearing this name, Zhong Luochen opened his mouth and repeated in a low voice.

He hadn't expected that Xia Xiaomin would be in his territory, and that would save him a lot of effort.

Besides, it was easier to do things in his territory than to hide in the shadows of his enemies. It was time to play with this greedy woman.

As he thought of this, the corners of Zhong Luochen's lips curled up, revealing a playful and devilishly charming smile.

Since he was so unlucky today and coincidentally had a prey for him to play with, he would definitely accompany him.

France would not be able to return for the time being, in case Old Lady Zhong asked so many questions. After he exposed his body, he started preaching again. This was exactly what he was annoyed about the most.

Therefore, Zhong Luozhuang decided to stay here and take care of everything before going back. Even if Old Lady Zhong asked about it, it would be easy to deal with it.

"Alright, you may leave! "Tomorrow I'll go to Howl and work there. You can go and talk to the people in the hotel." After figuring out where Xia Xiaomin was, he then appeared right in front of her.

On the other side, Xia Xiaomin, who had finally forgotten her humiliation at her husband's place, returned to her post.

Xu Shangwu looked at Xia Xiaomin's haggard face and felt a pang in his heart. He took advantage of the moment to come to her side.

"Xiao Min, did something happen?" Lu Ni had told him about this before, but Xu Shangwu still felt that there was something on Xia Xiaomin's mind.

Xia Xiaomin, who was in a daze, shivered when she heard Xu Shangwu's voice. She pulled her thoughts away from the space where they had been.
