Free Web NovelChapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Zhi Zhi Said His Eyes Are Good-Looking
Huo Jincheng couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Fu Yanzhi. He had no interest in talking to him; whatever this was, he hoped it would be settled quickly.
He didn’t want such an unstable factor existing in his life.
"Oh? I wonder what President Huo is so hung up on? Chasing after us like this—could it be you’re afraid I’m going to pursue Little Zhi?" Fu Yanzhi did feel guilty toward Lu Xingzhi and wanted to make it up to her.
But toward Huo Jincheng, he definitely did not.
In fact, he really hated Huo Jincheng—no matter how he looked at him, he found him annoying.
Who told him to live so smugly, while he himself couldn’t have even half of what the other man had.
As for money, Fu Yanzhi had always just treated it as something external.
He didn’t care about it that much, he just enjoyed the feeling of making it.
"You, pursue Zhi Zhi? You think she doesn’t hate you enough already?"
Huo Jincheng said bluntly, without the slightest politeness, "With the things you’ve done, you two don’t even have a chance to be friends, right? And you still want to pursue her? Is your brain broken, or do you think she’s so naïve and easy to fool? Is that it?"
Huo Jincheng almost blurted out, "Is your brain broken or is hers," but quickly realized that would also be scolding Lu Xingzhi, so he hurriedly changed his wording.
"Looks like President Huo still cares, otherwise why would you say so much to me? You’re practically jumping out of your skin already." Fu Yanzhi’s smile was wicked, with a hint of swagger.
"I’m used to seeing husbands make dates with other women and wives tailing them because they don’t trust them. But this is my first time seeing the wife out on a date and the husband tailing them because he doesn’t trust her. President Huo, you’ve really opened my eyes."
"My apologies then. Guess President Fu just hasn’t seen enough of the world. Since you’re here to be impressed, then by all means, be impressed. Your eyes are already problematic anyway, might as well not use them." Huo Jincheng said with a cold face.
Watching the two of them go back and forth, Lu Xingzhi’s lips twitched. Two CEOs worth this much, squabbling like this—was that really okay?
Though, she had to admit, the scene was pretty easy on the eyes.
Lu Xingzhi decided to lower her presence and just let them fight it out.
She’d wait until they were done before opening her mouth.
"My eyes are this good-looking, how could I not use them? I remember Little Zhi Liao once complimented these eyes of mine, said they were very nice." Fu Yanzhi deliberately provoked and stirred the pot.
Huo Jincheng’s gaze shifted to Lu Xingzhi beside him, whose body had gone a bit stiff.
And the dumbfounded Little Zhi Liao: "..."
When did she ever say that?
Though... she probably had.
Of course, Huo Jincheng wasn’t going to make things hard on Lu Xingzhi right in front of Fu Yanzhi. Whatever happened, that kind of "brutal interrogation" was something to save for when they got home.
"Zhi Zhi has complimented plenty of people. I remember there was this beggar once—Zhi Zhi also said his eyes were pretty good, quite bright." That line, Lu Xingzhi really had said before.
So Huo Jincheng wasn’t lying.
But she was talking about a movie.
The beggar in it had been played by Huo Jinyan.
In reality, the one she was praising was Huo Jinyan.
"What a coincidence. I wonder which beggar that was, I’ll have to go take a look." Fu Yanzhi ground out through his teeth.
He had really underestimated Huo Jincheng.
The man could actually keep his cool.
"I forgot, probably somewhere off in some corner." Huo Jincheng chuckled lightly, maintaining the proper decorum.
Only then did he say, "If President Fu has nothing else to say to Zhi Zhi, we’ll be going. Our time is very precious—unlike President Fu’s."
"I think it’s better if Little Zhi Liao asks that herself. After all, she’s the one I asked out. Right, Little Zhi Liao? How about you ask me personally?" Fu Yanzhi looked at Lu Xingzhi, signaling her.
