What does Huo Cixiao like to do after work? What are his hobbies and interests?

Luo Beishi is not short of money now, and he still hopes that Huo Cixiao can get some external stimulation and recover quickly.

Upon hearing this, Lei Long's first thought was to recall whether his boss had ever been to bars, parties, or similar places, and whether anyone had tried to seduce him.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Long answered him very seriously, "After work, the boss usually goes to the gym, plays golf occasionally, and reads books."

I don't know anything more specific, because once the boss gets home from get off work, he's basically nowhere to be found.

Luo Beishi was quite surprised that the villain's life was so simple. He had thought Huo Cixiao liked to walk his Tibetan mastiffs all the time, as this kind of exercise suited him well.

Luo Beishi continued to probe, "Does he have any good friends?"

Lei Long was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned. "It has happened before, and I can't say it, sister-in-law, but if the eldest brother wakes up in the future, you absolutely mustn't say that I told you."

Luo Beishi noticed that Lei Long's seriousness had deepened, and his gossip-loving spirit was awakened.

After Lei Long had the people in front of him raise the partition on the vehicle, he continued with his solemn face, "That friend was the boss's classmate in middle school, but for some reason, one day that friend appeared next to Huo Cifeng."

Luo Beishi nodded slightly. The original novel didn't mention that Huo Cixiao would have a white moonlight or anything like that, so he wasn't sure about the relationship between the two. He would ask the system when he got home.

When Lei Long saw Luo Beishi, he seemed somewhat distracted after hearing this, regretting that he had spoken up. What if his boss and that person really had some deep affection? Given his sister-in-law's possessiveness, wouldn't that person be killed by her?

He's recently learned about his sister-in-law's personality. She seems nonchalant on the surface, but in reality, if she wants to mess with someone, that person will be ruined.

Since his sister-in-law appeared, even Huo Cifeng's carefully cultivated reputation has plummeted.

"Hmm, continue. What's their story?" Luo Beishi was quite eager to find out from others, although asking the system might reveal the whole story.

Lei Long felt ashamed. In fact, he was just a background figure next to the boss. At that time, he and the boss were not in the same grade. He was just a junior who looked up to the boss from afar. Apart from his grades, he was insignificant in everything else.

He only heard about it secondhand and didn't know much. "I don't know the story, but afterwards, it seemed like no one had any friends around the boss. No one dared to mess with him; those who did suffered terrible consequences."

Luo Beishi nodded firmly, agreeing that it was only natural for a villain to be so ruthless.

Lei Long added at the end, "As for the rest, I don't know. Boss has always been at the top of the pyramid. Whether it's academics or anything else, he's always number one in every competition and exam he's participated in."

Huo Cifeng was only three months younger than Huo Cixiao. When Huo Cixiao was shining brightly, everything around him paled in comparison. No wonder Huo Cifeng would grit his teeth and be eager to get rid of Huo Cixiao whenever he heard Huo Cixiao's name.

Luo Beishi: "Yeah, thank you." Actually, he was just gossiping a bit. After all, if there really was something going on, it was none of his business, since they would still get a divorce eventually anyway.

next day

Huo Cixiao's thoughts were wandering in space when he suddenly heard A Hu say beside him, "Young Master, you're too lucky! This morning downstairs in the living room, the Young Madam gave you another 1% of the shares, delivered personally by your third uncle. You've never seen how respectful your third uncle is to the Young Madam, it's unbelievable!"

Huo Cixiao: "???"

My wife came home last night and went to sleep without telling me about the banquet.

If I'm not mistaken, the cheap wife must have something on her third uncle that forced the self-righteous Third Huo to personally deliver the shares.

Did he marry a god of wealth?

He had a premonition that his cheap wife might be able to fleece the Huo Family every few days, since the money kept coming back with him every now and then.

Are you happy?

Huo Cixiao was happy. Since his mother passed away, no one had ever stood up for him without hesitation. But this person appeared during this time: his cheap wife. His cheap wife even went so far as to offend everyone around her.

Now his wife has even gotten back at him from his childhood... Seriously, what can you say about this silly little wife?

Aren't you afraid that after he wakes up, they'll ignore him and abandon him?

Meanwhile, Luo Beishi, the woman with the mental disability, had already attended her fourth class of the morning.

After acquiring 1% of the equity this morning, I immediately got a 10% Face-Slapping Points!

This made Luo Beishi extremely excited, as if he had discovered a new continent.

This shows that if simply slapping them in the face isn't enough, taking their money will have a devastating effect! The Face-Slapping Points will be much higher.

Since the banquet incident last night, the aristocratic circles have undergone another dramatic change. Many people, young and old alike, have been impressed by Luo Beishi's imposing presence.

Who could have imagined that Luo Beishi's few words on the field would frighten Uncle Huo, who had always looked down on everyone, into a panic and causing him to flee his banquet in a hurry?

So when Huo Cihai, who hadn't attended the banquet the night before, opened a certain wealthy family group chat, he found it filled with discussions about Luo Beishi.

[Please, Luo Beishi was really super A last night.]

[Although it's unclear what encrypted call they were having, the general gist was that Uncle Huo had plotted to murder Huo Cixiao, and Luo Beishi might have evidence, which is why he's demanding 1% of the shares.]

Wow, this guy is truly amazing; his actions are incredible.

Huo Cihai couldn't stand it anymore and immediately went to find his mother.

Unexpectedly, Mo Baili was extremely flustered and guilty upon receiving the news. Her plan to have the maid poison Huo Cixiao might have already been exposed, and Luo Beishi might be lying in wait, waiting for the right opportunity to overthrow the second branch of the family...

Mo Baili's lips trembled. "Son, what do you suggest we do? Luo Beishi probably already knows about our affair, otherwise, he wouldn't have made those maids farm and those male prostitutes work as fitness instructors..."

Huo Cihai showed no remorse upon hearing this, only frowning slightly. "Mom, you're overthinking it. If Luo Beishi knew, given his straightforward nature, he would have locked us up long ago. So, he has absolutely no evidence."

Huo Cihai's confident demeanor calmed Mo Baili down a bit.

Mo Baili: "Yes, son, you're right... He definitely doesn't have any evidence."

Luo Beishi originally didn't want to deal with the second wife so quickly, but he desperately needed to Face-Slapping Points! He had a feeling that Huo Cixiao was about to wake up, otherwise he wouldn't have... while taking a bath, because of touching him...

So these next few days, he plans to gather evidence of the second wife's crimes.

He glanced at Huo Cixiao on the bed and suddenly said, "Honey, I have to say, you really are a guy who wins without lifting a finger!"

Huo Cixiao: "???" Stop talking about this all the time. Lately, he's been feeling more and more like a gigolo, even though he's rich!
