Chapter 216 Two Brothers Come to Pick Up Shengxia
Chapter 216 Two Brothers Come to Pick Up Shengxia
After receiving the news, Mr. Huo looked at the opened door and exclaimed without blushing or beating his heart.
"Eh? What a coincidence! The parts happened to be available in the south of the city, and only one was left, which was bought by the worker. That's why we were able to open the door in time, haha..."
Shengxia saw through the situation but didn't say anything, and just coaxed the old man to go downstairs.
"It's just a coincidence!"
After a while, Sheng Yi drove over to pick up Sheng Xia.
Shengxia's cell phone was out of battery, so the Huo family's servant came in to pass on the message.
After Shengxia said goodbye to Mr. Huo, Huo Tingxiao took her away.
Mr. Huo looked at Sheng Xia's back as she left, and sighed, "Alas, I finally found an opportunity to promote their relationship, but who knew it would fall through."
Butler Xu comforted him, "Old man, you just worry too much. I see that the young master and Miss Sheng are making rapid progress. I believe your great-grandson will be here soon!"
Mr. Huo was not so optimistic. He looked out the window and said, "I'm afraid things are not so optimistic..."
"Just now I suggested that Shengxia's brother come to our house so that we can get to know each other better in advance. But you can see that both Tingxiao and Xiaxia were against it. It shows that there is something wrong here."
Mr. Huo has fought hard all his life, so such things could not be hidden from him at all. He saw the clues at a glance.
He sighed secretly, hoping that there would be no changes in the marriage between the two families.
When she arrived at the gate of the Huo family’s old house, Sheng Xia saw Sheng Yi’s car.
Sheng Yi stayed in the car and didn't get out, so Sheng Xia didn't let Huo Tingxiao go over, but smiled at him.
"Just send it here. It doesn't matter if my brother and I go back."
Huo Tingxiao also understood Sheng Yi's character. After experiencing such a long period of dark life, he now rejected everyone except Sheng Xia.
"Okay, then send me a message when you get home."
"Ah."
The two smiled at each other, and Shengxia walked towards her brother's car.
As she walked, she couldn't help but secretly complain, my brother won't be angry, right?
After all, he was unwilling to even get out of the car and say hello to Huo Tingxiao. This was really abnormal. He must be angry...
Shengxia was very worried and thought about comforting her brother later.
So she opened the passenger door and got in the car, immediately smiling and saying, "Brother, what are you doing..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt a chill on her face, followed by a pungent smell...
Shengxia's mind suddenly became confused. Before her consciousness faded, she forced her eyes open and took a look.
The person in the driver's seat...is not my brother...
The car started up and left quickly. Huo Tingxiao watched the car disappear from his sight before he finally left slowly.
When Huo Tingxiao returned, Mr. Huo was still sitting in the living room.
Huo Tingxiao asked in surprise: "Grandpa, it's very late, aren't you going to rest yet?"
After that, he said while busy sending messages on his phone: "You should rest early, I will go back first."
Generally, unless there are special circumstances, he would not spend the night in the Huo family's old house.
At first it was because of Mr. Huo’s nagging, but later I slowly got used to living on my own outside.
After all, many of the things he did were not suitable for Mr. Huo to know, and it was indeed inconvenient to live under the same roof.
But Mr. Huo stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Huo Tingxiao was stunned, stopped what he was doing, and sat next to Mr. Huo.
"What's wrong, Grandpa?"
Mr. Huo asked with a sullen face: "Let me ask you, did you have any conflicts with Shengxia's brother?"
"No." Huo Tingxiao was confused.
"Then why don't people come to our house and visit us?" Mr. Huo's eyes were full of inquiry.
Huo Tingxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's because he just returned to China and has a lot of things to do. He hasn't put any practical use into these interpersonal relationships yet."
"Grandpa, don't worry too much. Shengxia and I are fine. Everything is fine."
There was still suspicion in Mr. Huo's eyes, and he was obviously half-skeptical of what Huo Tingxiao said.
Just when Huo Tingxiao didn't know how to explain, the servant outside the door came to report again.
"Master, Master, there is another person outside the door, who also claims to be Miss Sheng's brother..."
The servant felt very guilty when he said this. After all, he had just witnessed with his own eyes the young master sending Miss Sheng away. Miss Sheng was picked up by her own brother personally. How come another brother came now?
He originally wanted to send the man away, but seeing that the man had an extraordinary temperament, even more outstanding than the man who just claimed to be Miss Sheng's brother, he came in to report out of caution.
Huo Tingxiao frowned when he heard this. He just saw Sheng Xia and Sheng Yi driving away with his own eyes. How could he still have a brother?
Mr. Huo was also confused. "Hasn't he been here before? He's here again?"
The servant spoke cautiously: "No, sir, this person is different from the one just now..."
Hearing this, Huo Tingxiao had a bad feeling in his heart and immediately strode away.
Old Master Huo also noticed something unusual and asked Butler Xu to support him as they chased after him.
When Huo Tingxiao saw the figure at the door of Huo's house, his eyes suddenly darkened and his heart began to panic.
Yes, the person standing at the door was Sheng Yi.
At this moment, he was looking around anxiously.
Seeing Huo Tingxiao, Sheng Yi asked anxiously: "Where's Xia Xia? Why is her phone turned off? I can't contact her."
Huo Tingxiao saw a taxi behind him and immediately felt that the situation was not good.
"Where's your car?"
Sheng Yi didn't want to explain this to Huo Tingxiao, but seeing his serious expression, he told him the truth.
"When I was driving halfway, a pregnant woman stopped the car and asked for help. I felt sorry for her so I got out of the car and called 120 for her. But when I came back after I was done, I found that someone had driven away my car!"
Sheng Yi was very angry. How could someone steal a car in broad daylight?
"I called the police and wanted to tell Shengxia, but her phone was turned off, so I had to take a taxi to pick her up."
How could Huo Tingxiao not understand at this point? Something had happened to Shengxia.
Someone is plotting against them.
After Sheng Yi finished speaking, he looked at the empty space behind Huo Tingxiao and asked unhappily, "Where's Xia Xia? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Huo Tingxiao looked solemn, "I'm afraid something happened to her."
……
When Shengxia regained consciousness, she felt a splitting headache.
I tried hard to open my eyes, and what I saw was the white ceiling and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
She held up her confused head and looked at the unfamiliar environment around her. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't remember what had happened at all.
She tried to get up, but when she moved she found herself tied to the bed, with all her limbs bound, unable to move at all.
At this moment, Shengxia was a little panicked.
She recalled that she finally got into her brother's car, but the driver was not her brother at all, but...
Thinking of that person, Shengxia's eyes suddenly turned cold.
