The Tycoon Has A Secret Crush On Me
Chapter 826 - 823: Did He Do It?

Chapter 826: Chapter 823: Did He Do It?

Huo Yi used to love this look of hers the most.

He couldn’t understand why back then, but now he did.

It was Ye Ranran’s look, quietly graceful and beautiful.

Xu Zi only imitated her appearance, not her essence.

It was just a facade ultimately.

"It’s too late today; let’s do it in a couple of days. Let me clean up here."

Thinking that this was the last time, Huo Yi nodded slightly, "Okay, no later than the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"Can I ask you something, did you have anything to do with Ye Ranran’s disappearance?"

Huo Yi’s hand paused on the door handle, he didn’t speak, and after three seconds, he opened the door and walked out.

Xu Zi knew that he couldn’t be disconnected from this matter.

She wanted to immediately call Jun Mochan, but she was afraid, knowing that if Jun Mochan made any unusual move, Huo Yi would immediately suspect her.

Xu Zi gave a cold smile and started to pack up her clothes as if nothing was wrong.

The next day, she left the house early in the morning with a bunch of stuff.

"Where are you going so early?" Huo Yi asked.

"A friend said we should meet up; she just got back from abroad, and I bought her some stuff," Xu Zi said with a shy smile.

"Then you go ahead, come back early," Huo’s mother didn’t think much of it.

Usually, the Huo Family was always generous; even with Xu Zi carrying that large bag of stuff, it didn’t seem out of the ordinary to Huo’s mother.

Huo Yi just came out of his room and watched Xu Zi leave, a coldness flickering briefly in his eyes.

As soon as Xu Zi stepped out, she called Jun Mochan.

No one answered; it was a number she knew wasn’t Jun Mochan’s usual one.

Xu Zi, infuriated, threw her phone onto the passenger seat, and just then, the green light turned on. Seeing she hadn’t moved, the car behind honked.

Xu Zi, driven impatient, would have usually stopped her car in the middle of the road, allowing no one to pass.

She had done this more than once or twice before, and each time Huo Yi would sort it out for her.

But today was different from the past; Huo Yi was going to divorce her and wouldn’t handle her messes anymore.

Forget it, finding Jun Mochan is more important, Xu Zi took a deep breath, turned the car around, and drove towards Jun Mansion.

After a few steps, she stopped again and turned in another direction.

She parked her car in a shopping mall in the city center, then exited through another door and took a taxi to Jun Mansion.

Indeed, she was afraid Huo Yi had someone following her.

Regardless, it’s better to be cautious; Huo Yi was now shrewd and secretive, and she couldn’t guess at all what he was thinking.

At Jun Mansion, only Elder Jun was home, wearing reading glasses, sitting in the living room looking at documents.

After Jun Mochan returned, he had taken over most of the affairs, but some that passed through his hands still required his attention.

"Grandfather," upon seeing Elder Jun, Xu Zi behaved very docilely, respectfully calling out.

She was quite afraid of Elder Jun; even his smiling face couldn’t hide his formidable authority.

This wasn’t intentional, it was ingrained deep in his bones.

"What is it?" Elder Jun wasn’t too fond of Xu Zi.

With his vast experience in understanding people, how could he not see through Xu Zi’s little schemes? He just didn’t point it out to avoid upsetting Huo’s mother.

In his eyes, Xu Zi couldn’t even compare to Ye Ranran; indeed, she was utterly useless.

However, since the Huo family hadn’t objected, he naturally had no reason to object.

If Xu Zi were good enough, she could have been a feather in their cap; if not, as long as she didn’t mess things up, it was fine.

"Grandfather, where is Jun Mochan?" Xu Zi looked upstairs.

"Do you need him for something?" Elder Jun asked, looking up from his newspaper, his eyes twinkling.
