"Miss Third? Why are you here?" Zhang Xiaolong looked at the woman standing outside the door and said in shock, "Didn't Hou Dehai say that you went to Vietnam to see the scenery and it would take three days to come back? How did you find me?"
"I rushed back overnight after receiving the news. Come on, let's talk after we go in." Hou Ying, who was dressed casually and without any makeup, seemed friendly and easy-going, winked at him. Zhang Xiaolong stepped aside and let her in. The door closed again.
, but this time Zhang Xiaolong didn't lock himself up. In front of Hou Ying, he felt restrained. Yes, he just couldn't let go. It felt like a subordinate meeting his boss.
"Xiaolong, what's wrong? You seem to be afraid of me. Am I that scary?" Hou Ying sat down by the bed and looked at the somewhat reserved Zhang Xiaolong and said half-jokingly.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that you look too much like an old friend of mine. When I see you, I'll think of her. And since you are Hou Jun's daughter, I'm afraid of offending you again." Zhang Xiaolong said truthfully.
The last time he held Hou Ying tightly in his arms, Zhang Xiaolong had hallucinations one after another, and even lost his normal thinking ability. Although Hou Ying was not angry that time, he did not blame himself, but if he did not maintain a certain relationship with her,
Due to the distance, Zhang Xiaolong himself couldn't guarantee what he would do to her. After all, the two of them were alone in the same room now.
"She is my sister, a twin sister." Hou Ying said lightly, "I found out clearly. Last time you mistook me for someone else. After I got back, I asked my father, and then I went to the children's welfare home. Where did you go?
The Zhang Ying mentioned is actually my twin sister. She and I are twins. Back then, Zhang Tiansheng, the magic fortune teller, picked up our sisters outside the orphanage. He took Zhang Ying away, but gave me to my father, Hou Jun.
.”
"How is that possible?" Zhang Xiaolong was completely stunned when he heard the news. He didn't believe it. Hou Ying looked like she was in her twenties, and the dead Zhang Ying was only nineteen according to her real age. What could happen to the two of them?
Maybe they are twin sisters? Even if they are, how can they have the same name? It doesn't matter if Zhang Xiaolong's surname is Zhang, because he already knows that his real name is Zhang Long when he was born. The old man just added a '小' in the middle.
But Zhang Ying, who was adopted by the bad old man Zhang Tiansheng, had the surname Zhang, and Hou Ying, who was adopted by Hou Jun, had the surname Hou. They both have the same name. Isn’t this a mess?
"Nothing is impossible." Hou Ying spoke of her life experience without any trace of pain, and said with a plain face, "My sister Zhang Ying has been dead for almost five years. She had cancer... This is what you told me.
Mine. Later, I asked my father and looked around, and found out that my parents had died long ago. In fact, Zhang Ying’s surname is not Zhang, and my surname is not Hou. She and I were born to the same mother.
, all have the same surname Ouyang."
"My sister's name is Ouyang Yunxiu, and my name is Ouyang Yunjing. My biological father is Ouyang Xiang, a man of great influence in the business world twenty years ago. Both he and my mother died at home. On the surface, it looked like suicide, but in fact, they were framed.
As for why I was called Cheng Hou Ying and my sister was named Zhang Ying, I think you can guess it. This is all the arrangement of the fortune teller."
"But you..., if Xiaoying is alive, she is only nineteen years old?" Zhang Xiaolong stared at the over-mature Hou Ying and expressed his doubts tactfully.
"Do I look that old?" Hou Ying smiled, "Why, I don't look like a nineteen-year-old girl?"
"No, it's not."
Zhang Xiaolong continued, "You are not old, you are very young. You are just sophisticated in what you say and do. You are much more mature than women of the same age. You are mature, not old. Therefore, I always thought that you were older than me, probably in your twenties."
Already."
"That's because the living environment I grew up in was different. In fact, I always fantasize about having a beautiful childhood, being able to play with classmates and friends like other girls, and dress more avant-garde, but..."
Hou Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about you! You are gone because of what happened to Heitie, but Liu Xiaodong will not let you go so easily. What are your plans in the future?
Do you want to escape for the rest of your life, or do you want to live a stable life?"
"Needless to say, of course I want to live a stable life." Zhang Xiaolong said without any hesitation, "But you just said that Liu Xiaodong will not let me go easily, so how can you say that you are stable?"
"Xiaolong, I'm not afraid of what you will do to me, really, so if you don't mind, you might as well call me Xiaoying. After all, I have heard this name for nearly twenty years and am used to it, and you are also very suspicious.
My sister, you can think of me as her, I have no objection, really." Hou Ying suddenly changed the subject and said this.
Zhang Xiaolong was stunned.
She added: "I want to help you. You know, the industry is in chaos now. In this troubled world, you have every chance to rise. As long as you have confidence, you can rise and become a dominant force like my father."
Claim the roost, so that you have the ability to fight against Liu Xiaodong, Huang Meng, and Chen Si. Liu Xiaodong went to Xishan Villa to meet my father last night. He knew that you were the person my father wanted to support and that he was protecting you.
So he asked my dad to hand you over. What do you think my dad said?"
"How do you say it?" Zhang Xiaolong asked curiously.
"My dad said you came to Dali." Hou Ying said with a smile.
"What!"
Zhang Xiaolong exclaimed, "He, how did he know that I came to Dali? And...how did you find me? And Liu Xiaodong, didn't he send someone here?"
"Don't panic."
Hou Ying smiled lightly and said: "The matter is actually not as serious as you think. My father actually didn't know that you came to Dali, so he just said it casually. Liu Xiaodong is very suspicious and is always on guard against my father, so naturally he won't believe it so easily.
.It's me. After hearing this, I asked the traffic department to call up the surveillance videos of various intersections that night, and then checked them all the way, and naturally found you. Also, I own 100% of the Manwan Hotel.
Thirty shares.”
"you……"
Zhang Xiaolong stared and scratched his head. He felt that things were getting more and more confusing. He felt confused. At this moment, Zhang Xiaolong realized that his every move was done under the eyes of others. He thought about how he went to the public relations department just now to find out.
Miss, now Hou Ying actually says that she owns 30% of the shares in the hotel. This is not a joke.
"Wang Xiaofei and Chen Tie are the biggest boosters to your rise. Since they follow you without asking for anything in return, you should show them something. Your actions are the best way to show them. Do you understand what I mean?
"Hou Yingtian looked at him quietly and said.
"I kind of understand, but I also don't understand a little." Zhang Xiaolong's mind was in a state of confusion. Hou Ying's words gave him too many touches and thoughts. When a security guard executes an order and hits someone, he can cause such a big trouble. Combined with the previous series of sesame seeds,
It was a small thing, but suddenly he felt that he was indeed a little lonely and weak.
Good people are bullied by others! Only the tyrannical and powerful can walk with their heads held high, and blind weakness will only be looked down upon by others. Zhao Xiniu and Huang Yongguang, their ultimate purpose of contacting them is very clear, but Zhang Xiaolong let them down. Now Hou Ying is there again
After talking to him so much, Zhang Xiaolong seemed to understand, but also seemed to have fallen into deeper troubles. He found that he lacked passion in a certain aspect and had no fighting spirit. He wanted to carve out a world of his own in the chaos of the crowd. It was not just a matter of words.
So simple. If you want to rise up and fight against Liu Xiaodong and others, you must first have the right time, the right location, and the right people. But Zhang Xiaolong found that he didn't have any of these. Maybe he did, but he didn't find the direction.
People are forced out. If Liu Xiaodong causes harm to relatives or friends around Zhang Xiaolong, such as Wang Xue, Zhao Xiniu, or Huang Yongguang, and Hou Ying, whom he values the most, is maimed or killed by the other party,
Maybe Zhang Xiaolong will be able to find the passion to rise up and take a desperate step in.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it."
Seeing that he looked upset, Hou Ying stopped forcing him and said: "I have been on the road these days and I am tired. Go to bed early and accompany me to the ancient city tomorrow. If you are willing, I can also take you to Lijiang and
Take a look at Shangri-La, the scenery there is very good.”
After Zhang Ying finished speaking, she stood up and left the room. Zhang Xiaolong didn't keep her or send her away. After she left, he got up and locked the door. Hou Ying's arrival surprised him, and what she said shocked Zhang Xiaolong. It turned out that Hou Ying and
The dead Zhang Ying turned out to be twin sisters, and the fate of these sisters... was arranged in advance. Zhang Tiansheng picked up the sisters and gave one to Hou Jun without others. Zhang Xiaolong spent the whole night trying to figure it out.
With the intention in it.
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Tie was the first to appear in Zhang Xiaolong's room. Then Hou Ying came in with a travel bag and shocked him. On the contrary, the Wang Xiaofei who saw her at the breakfast table was Gu Jing Wubo.
He was not surprised at all, as if he had planned for Hou Ying's arrival in advance.
Yuan Yi had never met Hou Ying, so there was no pressure. He hurried back after breakfast. Hearing that the third lady of the Hou family was going to take Zhang Xiaolong for fun, Chen Tie was envious for a while, but he didn't dare to ask to go with him, so he just took it as a
When he wanted to express it tactfully, Wang Xiaofei suddenly made a shocking statement, saying that he was going to work as a repairman in the stationmaster's car repair shop and asked Tiedan to go with him. Although Chen Tie was reluctant, he also heard that
He understood the meaning of Wang Xiaofei's words. Before he finished drinking the lobster porridge, Wang Xiaofei winked and pulled him away.
Hou Ying felt that these two old cousins were quite interesting. They were quiet and smiling. She asked the hotel manager to arrange a fully imported 'mini' car with good performance. She threw her travel bag in the car and got on the road. Zhang Xiaolong sat in the passenger seat.
I watched her driving the car skillfully, looking out the window from time to time, but my thoughts were still immersed in what happened last night.
"Xiaolong, can you drive?" Hou Ying suddenly asked.
"No, I haven't had time to study yet. I heard that the exam is very strict, and I don't have a car, so I didn't want to study." Zhang Xiaolong replied.
"Go and learn while you have time now. As long as you learn it, I will help you with the exam. Of course, driving is a matter of your own safety. The better the technology, the higher the life insurance. You weigh it. I have an acquaintance in Dali. Let's go back.
I'll give you a call and I'll wait until it's over
