Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 552 - 550 The Old Master has an Accident
Huo Zhenyang’s gaze gradually darkened, his strong fingers loosening slightly as his eyelids twitched, "What you’re saying is, Ye Yongning doesn’t want to hit on you, but wants to hit on your mom?"
Jiayi ground her teeth, her face feeling somewhat feverish, "What’s all this about hitting on someone! Can’t you speak more nicely!"
Given her reaction, that must be it.
No wonder Ye Yongning kept sneaking over to Green Island Garden.
Huo Zhenyang’s Adam’s apple moved, but he said nothing.
Jiayi seized the moment of his hesitation, shaking off the shackle of his large hand, and stormed towards the bedroom door.
Heh, she really was angry.
His complexion, which had just started to improve, darkened once again as he sharply commanded, "Stop right there."
Stop right there? Stop your big head, ghost!
She was called over for a round of interrogation, wrongfully accused to death, her clothes all ruined, and he still wanted her to stop?
Seeing that she didn’t halt her steps, he knew that she had always kept a sense of propriety in the past and wouldn’t directly confront him. This time, however, she must really be angry.
He barked out in a subdued voice, "Wait a moment. Ade!"
The bedroom door slammed open!
Ade walked in, standing at the doorway, effectively blocking the way, forcing Jiayi to momentarily halt.
Seeing the scene between the Boss and Miss Chu, Ade was slightly taken aback, "Do you have any orders, Boss?"
Any orders? She was almost killed by him, and Huo Zhenyang’s handsome face drooped as if it were something else entirely, "Was it you who told me that Director Ye has been quite close to Miss Chu these past two days?"
"Yes," Ade felt trepidation, he was merely relaying what he saw based on the Boss’s request.
Jiayi understood; he had actually sent Ade to keep watch over her at the film set these past couple of days. She laughed out of sheer fury.
She had thought too highly of this man!
She had believed he wouldn’t do such a thing as to have someone spy on her, but it turned out he was really so disgraceful!
"Did you make sure whether Ye Yongning was looking for Miss Chu, or for Mrs. Xia?"
"That... I didn’t see..." Ade was startled.
"Then you still say you saw things clearly?" Huo Zhenyang’s eyes were cold, "How can you report to me without verifying the facts? Did you also know that Ye Yongning and Mrs. Xia have known each other for decades? How could you be so careless?"
Ade had a realization, the frequent comings and goings of Director Ye to Green Island Garden these past days were because of Miss Chu’s mommy...
And then it dawned on him, it must be because the Boss questioned Miss Chu, and she got angry, so the Boss had no choice but to sacrifice him in order to calm her down.
Ade, eager to please, scratched the back of his head, "Yes, my fault!" He then quickly looked at Jiayi, "Miss Chu, this really isn’t the Boss’s fault, it was me who reported without seeing things clearly."
No matter what, it couldn’t conceal his nasty act of surveillance. Thinking of how her every move was closely watched by this man from the set to home these past days, Jiayi felt a chill, "Regardless, please don’t spy on me anymore, okay?"
"That’s not possible," Huo Zhenyang answered flatly.
The affair with Ye Yongning was a misunderstanding, but it doesn’t mean that there wouldn’t be other males eyeing her in the future.
Especially in that glamorous world, where casual relationships and fleeting romances are all too common.
In a production crew, the leading man getting involved with a tender young staff member, the leading lady sleeping with the director, and after the movie or TV show is finished, they just walk away without a backward glance; it’s all too ordinary.
And as for the usual flirting and teasing between men and women on set, that’s even more commonplace.
Huo Zhenyang was also involved in the film industry, so how could he be unfamiliar with it!
Jiayi couldn’t help but laugh in frustration at the man’s direct refusal. She had actually tried to negotiate with him, which was crazy. Slipping out the door, she prepared to leave, "I’ll come pick up Zaizai in two days!"
She had just stepped out when she heard Sister Hui’s voice coming from the first floor:
"...Old Ou, how did you get here? Why are you alone? Where is the old master?"
"Where is the young master?" It was Butler Ou’s out-of-breath voice.
"Upstairs, in the bedroom. What on earth happened?" Sister Hui had never seen Butler Ou like this and became anxious.
Without any further hesitation, Butler Ou pushed past Sister Hui, ignoring her, and hurried up the stairs.
Jiayi had a bad feeling and stopped in the hallway.
Upstairs in the bedroom, Huo Zhenyang heard the noise from downstairs and sensed that something was amiss. He stood up and walked toward the door.
Huo Tianpei was scheduled to take a flight back to America tomorrow. Since it’s rare for him to return home, and who knows when he would come back again, he had arranged his schedule a few days ago to meet up with some old business friends.
This morning, Huo Tianpei had left with Butler Ou, Su Yan, and a few bodyguards.
But why is Butler Ou back alone now?
Gasping for breath, Butler Ou reached the top of the stairs, "Young Master, the old master fell on the way back and has been taken to the hospital! I just tried calling you and couldn’t get through. You should hurry over there. He’s at Renxin. Right now, Miss Su and the bodyguards are with him. The old master’s condition is very serious!"
After Huo Zhenyang returned to the villa, he had a habit of turning off his business phone. He had just met with Jiayi and didn’t want to be disturbed, so he had also set his personal phone to silent and hadn’t received the call.
Butler Ou’s words echoed around the silent second-floor hallway.
A few seconds later, Huo Zhenyang headed straight downstairs. His voice revealed no emotion, but it felt as if a cold wind had swept into a black hole, chilling to the bone, "Have George bring the car around. We’re going to the hospital."
Jiayi hadn’t even had time to react when she felt the man beside her grasp her wrist.
He turned his head, "Come with me."
He didn’t even know why he wanted her to come too, but he just felt like he needed her by his side.
Jiayi had no desire to get involved with any Huo Family matters, but hearing Butler Ou’s tone, it seemed that the old master’s fall was quite serious. If she let go now and refused to go, she figured this man would kill her with his gaze alone, if not by his hands.
She was dragged forward, stumbling for a few steps, and could only follow him downstairs.
Outside, night had already fallen.
In the courtyard, George drove the car out of the garage and opened the door.
Huo Zhenyang and Jiayi sat in the back seat, with Ade sitting in the passenger seat.
George started the engine and sped toward the hospital.
The car flew at breakneck speed, ignoring traffic lights. Thankfully, there weren’t many vehicles on the road at this time, and they made a beeline like a runaway horse.
Inside the car, the temperature was extremely cold, as if several degrees below zero.
Neither George nor Ade spoke, nor did they dare to.
Jiayi could feel the chill emanating from the man beside her.
It was clear that even if their father-son relationship wasn’t very close, he must be anxious at this moment.
The anger she had felt just a moment ago seemed to have dissipated without her knowing when, and right then, she felt her hand being grasped by his as it slid over, squeezing it in his palm.
