Kiss the wrong pregnant bride

Chapter 224 Investigating the Ling Family

Zuo Xiaomo's copper-colored face showed a tinge of brown, he coughed awkwardly, and stuffed the bouquet into Ling Xiaoxi's arms: "It's for you."

Even giving gifts can be so barbaric and domineering.

Ling Xiaoxi shook his head dumbfounded, looking at Zuo Xiaomo's awkward appearance, it was like seeing a big Zuo Fengyu, the father and son were really similar in some respects.

"Today is neither Valentine's Day nor Chinese Valentine's Day, why are you sending me flowers?" She asked strangely.

"Do you need a reason for sending things?" Zuo Xiaomo snorted coldly, didn't they all say that women like flowers, how come it doesn't work when it comes to her?

Ling Xiaoxi shrugged, she is not a winkless idiot, knowing that if she asks any more questions, maybe Zuo Xiaomo will lose her temper, so shut up quickly.

"I like it very much, thank you." She smiled and said, but in the next second, she began to worry about how to arrange the flowers. Throwing, I'm afraid it can't be done, but where should I put it?

"What are you doing in the study?" Zuo Xiaomo walked around her, walked into the room, glanced at the normally activated computer on the desk, and frowned slightly with sharp brows.

What was shown above was the news report about the bankruptcy of the Ling Group more than five years ago.

What is she investigating this kind of thing for?A cold light flashed across Zuo Xiaomo's cold eyes: "Are you investigating the Ling family?"

"Ah." Ling Xiaoxi hastily turned off the computer, "I just took a look."

She didn't want Zuo Xiaomo to know that she was investigating the bankruptcy of the Ling Group, it was her family business, there was no need to involve him.

Zuo Xiaomo narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You have something to hide from me."

Not a question, but a firm determination.

Ling Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat. When he met his sharp and transparent gaze, he felt as if he had seen through him. The corners of his mouth twitched in embarrassment: "What can I hide from you? You think too much."

"Every time you lie, you deliberately avoid people's eyes." Zuo Xiaomo pointedly exposed her lies, Xin's long body leaned lazily against the edge of the table, feeling a heavy and dull oppressive feeling Emanating from his body, it was like a sword drawn out of its sheath, showing its sharpness.

The temperature in the room jumped directly from the warmth of spring to the coldness of December.

"I just want to see what happened during that time." Ling Xiaoxi said half-truthfully. After all, she didn't even figure out whether there was something hidden about the bankruptcy of the Ling family, so she didn't choose to tell him. .

Zuo Xiaomo slightly raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

The arm violently pulled the person into his arms, and the index finger gently raised her jaw, looking into her seemingly calm eyes: "You really have nothing to hide from me?"

"Have you said everything?" Ling Xiaoxi denied it.

"That's the best." Zuo Xiaomo snorted coldly and refused to comment on her words. Whether it was a lie or not, he would figure it out for himself. Sen Leng's gaze swept across the closed computer, his already cold face , it became more and more gloomy at this moment, with a faint dangerous aura that was about to hit.

After finally getting Zuo Xiaomo off the hook, Ling Xiaoxi secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "By the way, have you had dinner yet?"

"With you here, do you think I will choose to eat outside?" Zuo Xiaomo said in a natural tone, which made Ling Xiaoxi grit his teeth in anger, wishing to smash the flowers in his hand on his hateful face superior.

"What? Cooking for me, you are very upset?" Zuo Xiaomo asked coldly with a dark face, there was a sign that she dared to nod and immediately strangled her to death.

Ling Xiaoxi sneered: "How could that be?"

Does she dare to say that she is not happy?

"Then it's best, do it." Zuo Xiaomo waved his hand, his appearance and attitude were so arrogant that it made people vomit blood.

Ling Xiaoxi glared at him fiercely, "Eat, eat, eat, eat you to death."

She turned around neatly, and when she left, she didn't forget to complain endlessly, seeing her back disappearing into the room, Zuo Xiaomo sighed quietly, among those women in the past, which one was not obedient to him?Only she always sings against herself.

only……

His eyebrows twitched secretly, he sat on the chair, turned on the computer again, and browsed the webpage she had read just now, the faint light of the computer screen projected on his cold face, revealing a white halo.

"The Ling family went bankrupt overnight and became history"

"Former business tycoon, all assets seized by the government"

"President Ling committed suicide in prison"

The shocking reports on the website are all about the bankruptcy of the Ling family five years ago and the suicide of the president of the Ling family.

His index finger tapped the table carelessly, his brows were always tightened, and his face was gloomy.

During the dinner, Zuo Ruoxin looked at the two people sitting at the top with a strange face. This was the first time she saw her elder brother serving food for a woman by himself!

"Brother, it's too early to show your affection." Zuo Ruoxin said enviously, when will she be so affectionate with the man she admires?

Zuo Xiaomo remained unmoved, served Ling Xiaoxi a bowl of hot chicken soup, handed it in front of her, and then stabbed Zuo Ruoxin fiercely with emotion: "You still want to be with Shao Brothers?" marriage?"

This is a naked threat!Zuo Ruoxin's face changed suddenly, and she hastily gestured to shut up, she didn't dare to challenge Zuo Xiaomo's authority.

"Does Ruoxin really like Shao's prince so much?" Ling Xiaoxi asked coldly.

Zuo Xiaomo's hand holding the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and he gave her a vague look.

Two blushes crept up on Zuo Ruoxin's face, "Well, I like it very much."

From the very beginning, she never concealed her affection for Shao Qipeng. When they first met, his gentleness and elegance made her astonished!It can be said that she fell in love with him at first sight.

Ling Xiaoxi looked at her at the beginning of love, and felt a little stuffy in her chest. Although Zuo Ruoxin was a little self-willed at times, she was not bad in other aspects. It should be a good match with Brother Qipeng, right?

"Sister-in-law, you have a very good relationship with the prince. How about you tell me?" Zuo Ruoxin rolled her eyes and said tentatively. She knew Shao Qipeng's affection for Ling Xiaoxi clearly. If Xiao Xi really had any unruly thoughts about Shao Qipeng, she would absolutely reject it!But on the contrary, if she agrees, maybe Shao Qipeng will try to accept himself for her sake.

Ling Xiaoxi didn't say anything, what?Is she going to force Brother Qipeng to accept someone he doesn't like?

"Sister-in-law?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zuo Ruoxin couldn't help feeling a little anxious. Could it be that she didn't want to?A gloomy glimmer of prey was hidden in the clever eyes.

"Do you need someone to help you with this kind of thing? Zuo Ruoxin, you are capable." Zuo Xiaomo snorted coldly, his tone extremely sarcastic. Xiao Xi scoffed at what he did.

Zuo Ruoxin pursed her lips resentfully, brother, this is called forgetting love after seeing sex!Now that I have a wife, I don't care about her younger sister.

Ling Xiaoxi glanced at Zuo Xiaomo gratefully. To be honest, she really didn't know how to intervene in the Zuo and Shao family's marriage, and she was unwilling to intervene. Zuo Ruoxin's proposal put her in a dilemma. Fortunately, Zuo Xiaomo didn't force her.

After dinner, Ling Xiaoxi played football with Zuo Fengyu in the garden, and Zuo Xiaomo stood quietly on the balcony with a goblet in his hand, his sharp suit exuded his cold aura to the fullest, like The king in the dark night is not angry but mighty.

"Brother." Zuo Ruoxin pouted, opened the door and trotted in, walked to his side, with three big characters of unhappiness written all over her face.

"Just talk about it." Zuo Xiaomo didn't even look at her. How could he not understand this younger sister?Thin lips took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and the mellow taste instantly enveloped the taste buds.

Zuo Ruoxin lay on the balcony railing, looking at the two people who were playing in the garden with complicated expressions, and after a long time, she said, "Why did you stop me just now?"

She just wanted Ling Xiaoxi to help her, why did he want to stop herself?

Zuo Xiaomo's icy eyes finally fell on her, "Do you think I will allow such ridiculous things to happen? Whoever you like, just go after it yourself, please ask an irrelevant person, you are quite capable. "

"But..." Zuo Ruoxin yelled unwillingly, but when she saw Zuo Xiaomo's unhappy expression, she stopped her mouth resentfully.

"No but, I don't want to see this kind of thing a second time." His attitude was extremely firm.

"But you don't know, as long as my sister-in-law says something, Shao Qipeng will definitely agree." Zuo Ruoxin clenched her fists sadly, and retorted sharply. She didn't believe that my brother would not know Shao Qipeng's feelings for Ling Xiaoxi!

As long as she asks, Shao Qipeng will definitely not refuse!Zuo Ruoxin firmly believed in this cognition.

That man was willing to escape from Shao's house in the middle of the night for her, tear up his gentle appearance, and even show such a stern and cold expression to himself.

He loves her, as long as it is Ling Xiaoxi's request, he will never refuse!Just thinking of this, Zuo Ruoxin's heart couldn't help throbbing, she was jealous and envious of Ling Xiaoxi's good life, that's why she had the funny idea of ​​wanting her to help her.

"Why do you think so? Ruoxin, it's your business that you like Shao Qipeng. As a brother, I can only help you here. Whether you can win his heart or not depends on your own efforts." Zuo Xiao Mo reminded, the corner of the ruthless mouth was stained with a little self-deprecating taste, does the Zuo family all have paranoid blood?As he was, so was his sister.

For the things you care about, you can use all means, even if it is extremely dirty!

He raised his head abruptly and drank the red wine in the glass, his dark eyes penetrated the air, and fell on the woman who was squatting on the lawn wiping the sweat on Zuo Fengyu's face, how complicated it was.

Ling Xiaoxi suddenly raised her head as if telepathically, and the eyes of the two collided in the air. She raised the corner of her mouth and showed a gorgeous smile towards Zuo Xiaomo, like the sun breaking through the dark clouds, extremely bright.

This is the woman he loves.

"Heh." Satisfied laughter floated in the air, and the depression in Zuo Xiaomo's heart seemed to have disappeared a lot under her smile.

Zuo Ruoxin stood aside, looking enviously at the picture of the two of them smiling in the air, with an extremely depressed expression.

How great would it be if Shao Qipeng could love himself as much as his brother?

At this time, the Shao family.

"I heard that you are investigating the Ling family recently?" Shao Le sat on a chair in the study with a gloomy face, and looked coldly at Shao Qipeng, who came back late again. He didn't understand why five years had passed since the incident. Will the son still investigate what happened back then?

Shao Qipeng nodded slightly, with a gentle mask on his face, his every move was under his father's surveillance, he never thought of hiding it, but, beyond his expectation, it seemed that his father didn't quite agree with what happened back then own way.
