Chapter 2427: Chapter 2424: Stirring Up Trouble on Purpose

Families with status would never marry daughters from the Huo family.

"Young Master, don’t worry, I’m just saying." The servant boy quickly squeezed to the door and called for the housekeeper of the Huo family.

Lu Sangqi’s nerves were tense as he looked at Zhao Hou, his face extremely unsightly.

Zhao Hou, however, showed no sign of shame whatsoever, shamelessly uttering lewd words and obscene songs.

Yet, Lu Sangqi suddenly realized a flaw in Zhao Hou’s words—he actually didn’t know what Huo Ning’s name was.

He instantly became rational, recalling rumors that Zhao Hou always favored obedient women, which was completely different from Huo Ning’s personality. Zhao Hou’s appearance today was quite coincidental, and it was somewhat surprising that he could get the news so quickly.

Upon further reflection, the person who spread the news was not someone he usually knew well; getting the message across so quickly indicated someone had intentionally given orders behind the scenes.

With just a thought, it was clear that the mastermind was none other than the Qi family.

He quickly reacted, considering the selfish nature and foolish minds of the Huo family members, who would surely keep themselves out of the matter.

He immediately made up his mind and said aloud, "Young Master Zhao, the Huo young miss you fancy, Huo Man, is naturally beautiful, otherwise Young Master Zhao wouldn’t have taken a liking to her."

Zhao Hou saw he was so angry that his eyes were red, as if he had been betrayed, and started talking nonsense without sensing anything wrong. He grinned and said, "Indeed, she’s naturally appealing; otherwise, Doctor Lu, you wouldn’t be in such a rush to come."

Lu Sangqi felt even more irony in his heart. Zhao Xin hadn’t even recognized the person yet still came looking for trouble, which was utterly stupid.

Nevertheless, precisely because of the opponent’s disdain, he could seize this opportunity to protect Huo Ning.

He could even leverage the Qi family’s actions this time to achieve his goals sooner.

Lu Sangqi merely snorted angrily.

Seeing the Huo Residence’s housekeeper had finally emerged, he smirked and said, "Steward Huo, Miss Huo Man is truly interesting, secretly contacting Young Master Zhao behind the residence’s back."

Steward Huo’s face froze upon hearing the wrong name. Instinctively, he wanted to refute but heard Zhao Xin brazenly say, "We’re mutually attracted; Doctor Lu, you shouldn’t be too insistent. After all, with my status as the young master, I’m much more desirable than you, Doctor Lu. We’re brothers, and in the future, you’d do well to maintain frequent contact, don’t you think?"

"Miss Huo Man wouldn’t be angry; if she wasn’t thinking of me, she wouldn’t secretly associate with me and give me a handkerchief..." Zhao Xin pulled out a handkerchief from nowhere and held it to his nose to sniff.

His posture was frivolous, his expression lecherous, and the onlookers outside began to point fingers.

Upon hearing the wrong name again, Steward Huo’s forehead was drenched with sweat, his heart anxious. He rushed forward to stop Zhao Xin from speaking: "Young Master Zhao, please be careful with your words."

"If you still care about your reputation, don’t spout nonsense at the mansion gate."

"Otherwise, don’t even mention marriage proposals; by that time, for the sake of reputation, even if it causes a big scene and we all lose face together, the Huo Residence will not let this rest." Steward Huo’s cheeks were red from anger; it was genuine. His previous reaction had been feigned, but now, being inexplicably implicated in the scandal involving the young miss, if the lady found out, she’d surely blame him for his incompetence. No benefit would be gained, thus he couldn’t help but sacrifice his dignity to resolve Zhao Xin first.

Zhao Xin chuckled, conceding, "Since Steward Huo says so, then I have no choice but to give you face."
