Chapter 116 A Man with Eight Eyes
"Since it's the An family, what does it have to do with your Meng family?" Huo Tingchen asked.
Those cold eyes were filled with scrutiny.
As far as he knew, the Meng family and the An family had a grudge and had not had any contact for many years.
The mistress of the Meng family’s surname is Gui, not An.
"To be honest, my mother's surname is An." A trace of pain flashed across Meng Hui's calm face.
Chu Ciyou's heart tightened and he felt a little pain.
It’s really strange, Meng Hui’s emotions can actually affect her?
"Master Meng, don't lie." Huo Tingchen smiled, "Your mother's surname should be Gui."
"Have you investigated me?"
Meng Hui's eyes flashed, and a majestic murderous intent quickly appeared on his face.
Chu Ciyou nervously stood in front of Meng Tingchen and said, "Didn't Patriarch Meng investigate us as well?"
The sharp tone was very inappropriate, and Qin Rufang and Huo Tingchen both laughed silently.
Very good, this conditioned reflex comes from true feelings in the heart!
"Don't be nervous, Madam Huo. All I want is the Phoenix Jade Bottle. I won't hurt anyone." Meng Hui let go of his murderous intent and softened his tone.
The assistant beside him looked at him strangely.
The head of the Meng family was decisive in killing and had a great reputation in the capital. But today he actually lowered his posture to a woman?
"Master Meng said that the Phoenix Jade Bottle belongs to your family. Do you have any evidence?" Chu Ciyou asked loudly.
"Yes. My mother had a dowry list when she got married. But I don't have it with me now." Meng Hui said, frowning.
Huo Tingchen raised his thin lips: "Then slowly sort it out and see who owns the Phoenix Jade Bottle."
"it is good."
Meng Hui's compromise once again made his assistant look at him sideways.
"Boss Huo, can you let me take a look at the Phoenix Jade Bottle to confirm whether it is real or not?"
"Okay." Huo Tingchen nodded, "Wife, go open the safe."
"it is good."
Chu Ciyou went upstairs to get the jade bottle, and Qin Rufang ordered people to serve tea and snacks.
At first glance: the two men, who are equally matched in appearance, aura, and ability, drinking across the table from each other, seem quite harmonious.
Actually?
The two of them look down on each other!
Huo Tingchen's perspective: You want to steal my wife? No way!
Meng Hui’s perspective: A man who bullies his wife is not a good man!
The two of them looked at each other, disdained each other, but waited calmly for the Phoenix Jade Bottle to appear.
"Huo Tingchen, come up and take a look. I can't open my safe." Chu Ciyou shouted while standing on the stairs.
Huo Tingchen raised the corners of his lips slightly: He knew it would be like this!
But how could I call Meng Hui by his name in front of him?
Huo Tingchen pretended not to hear and drank his tea slowly.
Meng Hui couldn't help it, and said with a sullen face: "Mrs. Xiao Huo is calling you!"
"Really? Why didn't I hear it?" Huo Tingchen said loudly.
Chu Ciyou, who was standing on the stairs, heard it clearly.
She took a deep breath and said, "Honey, come and help me check the safe!"
"it is good."
Huo Tingchen put down the teacup and immediately drove the wheelchair into the elevator.
Meng Hui: ………
A man with eight hundred minds!
"Did you enter the wrong password?" Huo Tingchen asked.
"That shouldn't be the case..." Chu Ciyou frowned, "I suspect this safe is broken!"
"Let me try."
Huo Tingchen stepped forward and pressed the buttons, and the safe opened.
Chu Ciyou was stunned: "How did you do it?"
"Enter the password." Huo Tingchen shrugged, raised his chin, and looked very proud.
"My password?" Chu Ciyou pointed at himself and asked in disbelief.
Huo Tingchen nodded and recited a string of numbers: "."
This is only one word different from the code set by Chu Ciyou!
He peeked at her setting the password!
"Huo Tingchen!"
Chu Ci was worried and angry.
Can we have some secrets?
"I didn't peek, I figured it out by listening to the sound." Huo Tingchen said.
Chu Ciyou sneered: "Who are you kidding? It's almost the same whether you mute it or not, how can you tell the difference?"
"I do have this ability. If you don't believe me, try again."
With a skeptical attitude, Chu Ciyou pressed a number key.
Huo Tingchen reported accurately: "5."
Coincidence, definitely a coincidence!
Chu Ciyou pressed two more keys.
Huo Tingchen said: "37."
Exactly! Does he really have the ability to identify numbers by hearing?
Chu Ciyou was completely convinced and said, "You are a genius!"
"Ah."
Huo Tingchen nodded.
He was a genius and should have served the country and the people. Unfortunately, after his father died young, his mother was bullied by the eldest wife.
He had to give up his dream and become an ordinary businessman.
"Huo Tingchen, you are awesome!" Chu Ciyou smacked his lips and thought to himself: I can't let you hear me when I change the password!
"It's better not to change it. I'm afraid you'll make a mistake again." Huo Tingchen saw through her thoughts.
Chu Ciyou was embarrassed: "I originally set it up, I pressed the wrong button!"
"Luckily I heard it."
"Uh……"
Chu Ciyou thought about it and gave up changing the password.
There were only two things in her safe: a jade pendant and a phoenix jade bottle.
The jade pendant was only worth a few hundred thousand dollars, and the most valuable phoenix jade bottle was bought by him.
Guard against him? There's really no need.
"No more changes." Chu Ciyou held the Phoenix Jade Bottle in one hand and helped Huo Tingchen push the wheelchair with the other.
In fact, this is a specially customized electric wheelchair and she doesn't need to push it at all.
At critical moments, you can even launch hidden weapons to defeat the enemy.
But she still reached out and pushed out of habit.
So, when the elevator door opened, Meng Hui saw Chu Ciyou standing gently behind Huo Tingchen.
The talent of a man and a woman is a match made in heaven.
Meng Hui frowned, then set his eyes on the Phoenix Jade Bottle.
With just one glance, he was sure this was what he was looking for!
"It's mine, for sure..." Meng Hui stood up, unable to hide his excitement.
Chu Ciyou handed him the Phoenix Jade Bottle: "Master Meng, take a closer look."
"The mouth of the bottle is cracked. It must be the one from my house!" Meng Hui took deep breaths again and again to control his emotions.
He held the Phoenix Jade Bottle in his arms and looked at it over and over again, caressing every inch of the bottle lovingly.
Chu Ciyou tugged at the corner of Huo Tingchen's clothes and whispered, "Look at other people's self-control, it's better than yours."
"hehe!"
Huo Tingchen just wanted to sneer.
If he didn't have enough self-control, he would have eaten her up long ago!
"It seems that his feelings for this jade bottle are no less than mine. Could it really be his?" Chu Ciyou began to worry.
If Meng Hui really took out the dowry list and proved that the Phoenix Jade Bottle was his mother's dowry, what would she do?
"Wait, time will prove everything." Huo Tingchen patted her hands to reassure her.
But in my heart, I was thinking about another possibility: Yao An, An Jia...
The hostesses of the two Phoenix Jade Bottles both have the character "An" in their names.
Is it a coincidence? still……
"Please take good care of the Phoenix Jade Bottle!" Meng Hui returned the Phoenix Jade Bottle to Chu Ciyou very solemnly.
These are his mother's things. He will go back to find the dowry list.
No matter what, the Phoenix Jade Bottle must be redeemed!
"Master Meng..." Chu Ciyou held the jade bottle and suddenly felt extremely heavy.
"Don't worry, I won't take it by force. We can discuss it when I come with the dowry list." Meng Hui said.
Huo Tingchen said: "Okay! Then we won't keep Master Meng today."
"goodbye!"
Meng Hui took one last look at the Phoenix Jade Bottle and hurried away with his assistant.
Chu Ciyou looked at his back, feeling inexplicably empty inside.
Huo Tingchen lowered his head and sent a message to Jiang Bei: Check the little daughter of the Meng family in Beijing...
