Chapter 367 Juliet Has Changed (1)
Yan Zuozuo's eyes dimmed, and she felt sorry for Chi Xuecan. She looked up at Chi Moqing and saw him smiling at her. Just one look from him was enough to make her feel incredibly sweet.
"You two chat first, I'll go cut some fruit for you." Chi Moqing got up and walked towards the kitchen, which made Chi Xuecan sigh with admiration. This man, who was above everyone else, was actually so considerate and gentle for the woman he loved. It was truly heartwarming.
A true lover is priceless, and she was lucky. Even though Huo Heng knew she was an incomplete woman, he still loved her day after day for decades, and she felt increasingly sorry for him.
"Zuo Zuo." Chi Xuecan held Yan Zuo Zuo's hand and said earnestly, "Can I ask you for a favor?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Can Can, just say it. As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely agree." Back in Germany, it was Chi Xuecan who helped her so that she could meet Chi Moqing. She definitely had to repay that kindness.
"Can you have another child with Mo Qing and give it to me to adopt?"
"!" Yan Zuozuo froze, her mind blank, staring blankly at Chi Xuecan, "Have a child, and give it to you to adopt?" She wasn't sure if she had misheard.
"I know this request is unreasonable, but I really want a child who is related to me by blood, even if it's not my child. Zuo Zuo, please say yes?"
Yan Zuozuo felt her mind was in turmoil; this was the first time she had encountered something like this. Of course, she disagreed with giving her child away to someone else, but when she looked into Chi Xuecan's pleading eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She knew Chi Moqing had a tubal ligation, but tubal ligation can be reversed, and these weren't valid reasons...
Chi Moqing didn't know what the two people in the living room were talking about, but Yan Zuozuo seemed to be frightened. Just as he was about to take the fruit plate out, his phone rang.
"President Chi, what are your plans to do regarding Huang Shikun's matter?"
"What is Major General Zhan doing?" he asked.
"Major General Zhan did nothing but reprimand Huang Shikun at home."
Chi Moqing pondered for a moment. As expected of a notorious old fox in the military, he knew that the more he maneuvered at this time, the worse Huang Shikun's fate would be. Since he had given him enough face, he naturally couldn't let him suffer too much.
"Then let's give Huang Shikun another chance." Given his personality, even if we let him go this time, he'll soon cause new trouble, and dealing with that won't be as simple as it was this time.
He will not let anyone who dares to bully his wife get away with it!
After a pause, Chi Moqing continued, "Once you've sorted things out on your end, give me a signal and be ready to act at any time."
"Okay," the other party said, and quickly hung up the call.
J's plan this time was to ensure J's complete downfall, directly utilizing his connections with the German government. If their plan fails, the German high command will naturally investigate, and officials associated with J will inevitably be implicated. Even if J escapes unscathed, he will have completely lost the German government as his backer.
If J's network of connections spans the globe, then the German government is the breakthrough point. One day, he will meet with him again, but that time will not be a decisive battle.
In Major General Zhan's temporary residence, Huang Shikun sat there trembling, his heart pounding in his chest. Major General Zhan sneered, "You're lucky this time, kid. President Chi didn't hold it against you. Use your brain from now on!"
"So, I'm alright?" Huang Shikun's eyes lit up, and he cheered inwardly.
"It's alright for now! Chi Moqing didn't report this, which is giving me face. I'm warning you, don't mess with him in the future, understand?"
"Yes, yes, brother-in-law is right. But there's something I don't understand, and I would appreciate your guidance." Huang Shikun finally felt relieved and chuckled.
Major General Zhan glared at him: "Don't ask me, I don't know. Also, keep Chi Moqing's identity a secret, don't fucking mess things up again."
Huang Shikun nodded repeatedly: "Since Chi Moqing is so important, why did the higher-ups still ask us to investigate the Chi family?"
"I'm guessing it's some kind of smokescreen, I don't know either. Just do your job honestly, and try to curry favor with him when you have the chance; it will help you in the future. I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen." Major General Zhan was annoyed just looking at him.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Huang Shikun didn't dare to vent his anger, no matter how upset he was. He leaned close to the Major General and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you said you were coming here to investigate the Zha Sha organization, right?"
Major General Zhan glared coldly: "This is an official matter, don't pry!"
"No, no, no, I have some new information. I heard that the Huizhu Society in S City is a branch of the Zha Sha organization. I happen to know people in the Huizhu Society, so why don't I help my brother-in-law find out the truth first?"
Major General Zhan looked at him with disbelief: "You know the people inside?"
“I never expected to run into my old cronies here. Don’t worry, brother-in-law, I promise I’ll redeem myself this time and won’t cause you any trouble.” Huang Shikun tugged at his sleeve. “However, if I help you this time, then my promotion…”
Major General Zhan slapped his hand away: "Let's talk about this after you've dealt with this matter for me."
"Alright!" Huang Shikun said, about to leave, but was stopped by Major General Zhan. "You better watch your step, get your connections sorted out in S City first, and don't keep causing me trouble."
Huang Shikun waved his hand, saying he understood, but in his heart he was thinking, "I've gotten myself into so much trouble, and my brother-in-law has managed to smooth things over for me. What is there for me to be afraid of?" Don't think he'll believe his brother-in-law just because Chi Moqing let him go. No matter how much Chi Moqing is protected, he's still just a powerless person, nowhere near as powerful as General Zhan. As long as his brother-in-law is around, there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do. Hmph, so what if he's being protected?
Of course, the latest news about Huang Shikun came from Zhou Yijun. He had ruined her family, so she naturally wouldn't let him get away with it!
That evening, Huang Shikun went to the International Building for dinner again, accompanied by Zhou Yijun. She looked worried, which displeased Huang Shikun. "Junjun," he said, "just say what you want to say. There's nothing Huang Shikun can't handle!"
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Zhou Yijun sighed deliberately, "This Zha Sha organization is very powerful. Even the Public Security Bureau doesn't want to stir up a hornet's nest. I think Assistant Huang shouldn't get involved. After all, this isn't within your jurisdiction. If there's trouble, it won't be good for you either."
You've messed with the Zha Sha organization, I don't believe you bastard will come back unscathed!
Upon hearing that the beauty was worried about him, Huang Shikun was overjoyed. He slammed his hand on the table and laughed loudly, "Junjun, you're overthinking it. Even if it's not my business, it's my brother-in-law's business. I want to see just how powerful this Zha Sha organization is. I'm going to wipe them out!"
Knowing that the Zasa organization is related to the Huizhu Society makes things much easier.
"JunJun admires Assistant Huang the most for his manly spirit. However, I've heard that the people in the Huizhu Society are ruthless. Assistant Huang, you must be careful in everything you do."
"Oh, so this little beauty is treating him differently now?" Huang Shikun was overjoyed. "Don't worry, don't worry, Junjun, just watch as I wipe them all out!"
"Then Junjun will wait for Assistant Huang's triumphant return. When he does, I'll..." Zhou Yijun feigned shyness, gave Assistant Huang a coquettish look, and ran away sweetly.
Huang Shikun was itching to see it, and burst into laughter. "Little beauty, little beauty, just wait until I bring you the head of the Zha Sha organization. Tsk tsk, my enchanting place."
After getting off work, Yan Zuozuo bought some things and went to see Chi Xuecan. She found her standing alone by the window in the sunset, looking particularly lonely. She walked over and said with a smile, "Cancan, what's wrong? Are you missing Huo Heng?"
Hearing her say that, Chi Xuecan gave her a playful glare, but still told the truth, "I do miss him a little."
"Now that you've finished taking care of everything here, why aren't you going back?" After a pause, Yan Zuozuo quickly said, "I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just thinking of you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know?"
Chi Xuecan lowered her eyes slightly and sighed heavily, "I just don't want to go back like this, that's why I've been dragging my feet."
Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Cancan?"
"Zuo Zuo, let me tell you the truth. I thought about divorcing Huo Heng as soon as I found out I couldn't have children. Even if we didn't divorce, I wanted to find him another woman, but he refused." She smiled bitterly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. "Huo Heng is the only son in his family and loves children. Without children, his life would be incomplete. And his incompleteness is because of me, which is something I can't forgive myself for."
Yan Zuozuo had always thought that Chi Xuecan was doing well and was an optimistic and cheerful girl, but now, hearing her say these words, she realized how much bitterness was hidden beneath her optimism and cheerfulness.
“The longer I stay here, the greater the possibility of Huo Heng’s external development. I think, maybe… he can have a child of his own.” Chi Xuecan’s voice was filled with deep disappointment, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Yan Zuozuo frowned in disapproval. As a woman, she could understand her feelings; because she loved him, she couldn't bear to leave him with any regrets. But if he were Huo Heng, who only loved Chi Xuecan in his life, and she was thinking of pushing her away to someone else, he must be heartbroken.
“Can Can, you can’t think like that. If Huo Heng knew what you were thinking, do you think he would be heartbroken?”
Chi Xuecan didn't say anything, but took two lollipops from the table, gave one to her, and said, "I just didn't want him to find out, so I stayed here under the pretense of not finishing my work."
Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say for a moment. Although the lollipop in her mouth was sweet, she felt bitter inside.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Suddenly, Chi Xuecan patted her shoulder. "Okay, this is my business. Don't be upset. Come here. I bought a lot of clothes yesterday. Let me show you." With that, Chi Xuecan pulled her towards the wardrobe. "Ta-da! Take your pick and see whichever you like."
"My God!" Yan Zuozuo stared in disbelief. "Can Can, did you bring the mall job home?"
Chi Xuecan chuckled: "Life is like this. Look how unhappy I am, why not do something to make myself happy? Pick and choose, don't be shy with me."
Yan Zuozuo smiled and shook her head, but Chi Xuecan didn't give her a chance to refuse. She picked out several pieces and put them all on the bed. "There are elegant ladies, charming young ladies, Chinese style, and Western style. Try them all on."
Watching Chi Xuecan try on clothes on herself, Yan Zuozuo felt both amused and exasperated. Chi Xuecan was pulling her to try on clothes, while she kept making comments.
