Chapter 7

After Jiang Jingzhu sat down at the dining table, the servants brought dinner.

Because she was ill, the chef prepared a light meal for her. Jiang Jingzhu didn’t say anything and just picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

She was really hungry too.

After dinner, Jiang Jingzhu sat on the sofa in the living room and looked through the original owner’s mobile phone.

The original owner’s phone was a niche brand phone, and it looked like it had been used for a long time. It seemed that it was time to get a new phone.

The phone was very simple, with only one WeChat and one Alipay, and she opened them both and took a look.

When Jiang Jingzhu saw the balance on Alipay, she resisted the urge to scold the original owner. The balance was five million, and the person who transferred the money looked like Huo Xiao’s secretary.

But the original owner who has so much money still wants to work as a temporary worker with pitifully low salary. It’s simply crazy.

She thought that Huo Xiao didn’t give the original owner any money except for Jiang Xue’s medical expenses. It turned out that the original owner was unwilling to use it because of her self-esteem.

Just because the original owner didn’t use it doesn’t mean she won’t use it.

When I checked WeChat again, there weren’t many people in the address book. The top ones were only Jiang Xue, Grandma Huo, and Huo Xiao. The last chat in Jiang Xue and Grandma Huo’s chat box was yesterday, so it seemed that the original owner often chatted with them.

When they clicked on Huo Xiao’s chat box, the latest message was the interface of the two people’s successful verification of adding new friends. They had never chatted for so long after getting married.

But this is not surprising. Neither the original owner nor Huo Xiao are proactive people, and Huo Xiao is really busy with work.

It seems that she needs to know Huo Xiao’s next schedule, otherwise how could she have close contact with him within seven days.

Just then, Aunt Zhang came over with a plate of fruit. Jiang Jingzhu immediately asked, “Aunt Zhang, did Huo Xiao say when he would be back?”

Zhang Ma was stunned after putting down the fruit plate. This was the first time that the young lady took the initiative to ask about the young master’s situation. This was a good sign, so Zhang Ma said excitedly: “The young master is on a business trip in H City. When I was packing his luggage, I heard from Special Assistant Qin that he would stay there for half a month. He has been gone for ten days now, and he will be back in about five days.”

Jiang Jingzhu nodded to indicate that she understood.

She only had seven days left to live, and Huo Xiao would not be back until five days later, so she didn’t have to worry. But if something unexpected happened, she would have to go to Huo Xiao in person to extend her life.

Seeing that Jiang Jingzhu had taken the initiative to ask about the young master, Mrs. Zhang immediately sat down on the sofa at the side, “Jingzhu, Aunt Zhang is telling you, although our young master is a workaholic, he has no time to mess around when he’s busy with work. Look at those people who are reported to have cheated on their partners on the Internet now. They just have too much free time and want to find something to do to make their presence felt. Our young master is not that kind of person.”

“Although the young master is usually taciturn and doesn’t know how to say sweet words, you don’t have to worry about him trying to deceive other women. Besides, the young master has never been in love before. Although there are many women around him who want to get close to him, none of them have succeeded. Jingzhu, you try hard. As long as you can make the young master like you, he will never do anything to let you down in this life.”

After she finished speaking, she looked around mysteriously. Seeing that there was indeed no one around, she whispered, “I’ll tell you a secret. The Huo family is full of infatuated men. From the old master to the young master’s father, they are all devoted to their wives.”

Speaking of Huo Xiao’s parents, Mrs. Zhang sighed, “Ah, back then, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo were a well-known loving couple in the circle. They were each other’s first love, and they were accompanying Mrs. Huo to receive an award abroad when they encountered a plane crash, which led to their death. In fact, if Mr. Huo had not insisted on accompanying him, the young master would not have lost his parents at a young age and shouldered everything for the Huo family alone. At that time, I often saw the young master, who was still just a teenager, usually not even able to sleep because he was busy with company affairs. He also had to take time to accompany the old lady who was hit hard by the loss of her son and daughter-in-law. During that time, I felt tired just by looking at the young master.”

As she spoke, she seemed to recall the past, and Zhang Ma’s eyes were slightly red. “At that time, I often advised him not to work so hard and to have a good rest. But the young master said that he was already criticized for being in charge of the group at a young age. If he didn’t work harder, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the Huo family’s assets.”

Knowing that the young master would not listen to her advice, she had no choice but to make nutritious stews for him every day. She couldn’t let him ruin his health at such a young age. It was because of the young master’s incident before, and she was so worried when she saw Jiang Jingzhu also neglecting her health.

But fortunately, the young lady listened to the advice now.

The reason why the boss is the boss is different from ordinary people like them. When others are still in school, he has already taken over the family business.

While others were still worrying about employment, he had already developed his company better and better, and he himself became the richest man.

Huo Xiao is a legend in the business world!

“So, Jingzhu, as long as the young master likes you, your future life will definitely not be bad. Aunt Zhang also hopes that you can be happy with the young master forever.”

Jiang Jingzhu patted Zhang Ma’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Zhang Ma, I understand everything you said. I will be more proactive in the future. If I need your help in the future, please don’t refuse!”

After saying that, she winked at Zhang Ma mischievously. Zhang Ma knew that she wanted to help her. So she patted her chest generously and promised, “Don’t worry, in the future, as long as you need help, Zhang Ma will definitely help you.”

The reason why she told Zhang Ma all this was that she was not familiar with Huo Xiao, and if she wanted to find him, she had to know his whereabouts. And Zhang Ma was the best assist.

Huo Xiao respected her very much, and so did the people around him, so in the future, Zhang Ma and Special Assistant Qin only needed to ask around to find out what Huo Xiao was doing. This was extremely convenient.

Of course, she was not afraid of offending Huo Xiao. After all, they were a legal couple, and it was normal for her to want to know about her husband’s dynamics.

Of course, she also has a biggest backer, that is Grandma Huo, she really likes the original owner, so if she wants her help, she will definitely be happy to see it happen. In addition, Huo Xiao is filial, even if he is really angry, he will not do anything to her for the sake of the old lady.

I also asked Aunt Zhang some questions about Huo Xiao’s interests and hobbies.

From Aunt Zhang, Jiang Jingzhu roughly understood Huo Xiao’s personality, which could be described in eight words: “aloof, abstinent, calm and self-controlled.”

A definitely aloof and domineering boss.

It is not easy to win over such a beautiful woman, but the good thing is that she is his legitimate wife. Even if she can’t do anything for the time being, she can still rely on him to keep her alive.
