A Nameless Rain Chapter 6

There is nothing wrong with Finn Xi. If Silas Zhong didn't answer after calling twice, he would stop calling.

There was silence on the card table for a moment. Unexpectedly, some people dared not answer Finn Xi's call. Shouldn’t the kept lover be there whenever he is told? Even if you are working, driving, taking a bath, or charging, you can't just happen to be so coincidental and shame your sponsor in public.

"Maybe he's busy." Ellis He glanced at Finn Xi's face and broke into a cold sweat for Silas Zhong, but he didn't forget to add fuel to the fire, "But he's an actor and has a controllable schedule. What can he be busy with? New Year's Eve I don’t even know how to take the initiative to call to say hello, I’m so ignorant..."

As he spoke, he continued to observe Finn Xi's expression.

If mountain ice and snow could transform a human being, he would probably look like Finn Xi. He is rarely praised for his beauty. Firstly, no one dares to offend him. Secondly, he has a strong aura, which is far more intimidating than his appearance. Ellis He was chatting and laughing with him on the surface, but he was actually feeling embarrassed in his heart. Seeing that he was not disgusted, he continued: "I heard that you have been together for more than seven years? Are you not tired of it? You are just a bed warmer, why don't you get a new one?" , more obedient."

Reece Ji looked at Finn Xi eagerly and couldn't wait to be the new one. Finn Xi didn't even look at him, and said calmly: "Let's talk about it, I haven't met anyone who likes me."

He didn't want to talk anymore, so he turned his phone on silent and put it aside. He just said he didn't want to play anymore, but now he reached out to shuffle the cards again. The others naturally followed him and stopped mentioning Silas Zhong with their eyes. The mahjong game ended at midnight.

This is how 2023 ends.

The Beijing Center Tower overlooks the beautiful scenery of the city, and the bright fireworks are blooming in the night sky. The waiter counts down the countdown and opens the red wine, and proposes the first glass to Finn Xi.

Xi smiled, his mood couldn't be said to be good, but it wasn't too bad either.

Of course, he wouldn't get angry and replace Silas Zhong because he occasionally didn't answer the phone. Although he was slightly unhappy, after the short-term emotion passed, he was more confused.

Silas Zhong has a special occupation, and there are often situations where it is inconvenient to carry a mobile phone with him, such as when filming on a film set or recording a program on a TV station. During this period, his cell phone must be handed over to his agent or assistant so that he can respond immediately when Finn Xi calls. In addition, as long as he can touch his mobile phone, he will never fail to answer Xi WeChat calls in person. Even if you miss it by accident, we will call you back as soon as possible.

In the end, it was just a trivial matter, and Finn Xi didn't take it to heart. He really didn't like Reece Ji and was not interested in staying the night, so he said goodbye to Ellis He and others, put on his coat, took his mobile phone and went downstairs.

As he entered the elevator, he habitually turned on the screen. Surprisingly, there were no missed calls on the silent phone ------ Silas Zhong didn't look for him.

Finn Xi's expression paused. The sightseeing elevator of Jingxin Tower began to descend. The slight feeling of weightlessness was mixed with the unpleasantness of recovery. He frowned and put his cell phone into his coat pocket.

Secretary Fang was always waiting in the car downstairs. When he saw him coming out, he got out of the car quickly and opened the door for him.

If there is anyone in the world who understands Finn Xi better than Silas Zhong, it is probably Mara Fang. Finn Xi's first secretary lasted two years before being fired, his second secretary lasted only one year, and Mara Fang is the third. He has worked for Finn Xi five years ago and has received a high salary that others cannot imagine. Doing eunuch work like a general manager.

It's no wonder that he is full of war-fighting thoughts. Anyone in his position would take "eradicating all unstable factors around the prince" as their highest purpose. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, he will be the one to be eradicated.

"You------" Secretary Fang held the car door and was shocked when he saw Finn Xi's stern face, "Where are you going? Back to Minghu?"

The driver is someone else, and the tool-like person will never "hear" their conversation. Mara Fang waited for Finn Xi to sit down and closed the car door gently, got into the passenger seat, turned around and waited carefully for a response.

Finn Xi didn't say where he was going, but said coolly: "Call Delia Tang and ask him what Silas Zhong's plans are tonight."

Mara Fang felt a little confused, but his hands were faster than his brain and he dialed the phone immediately. Delia Tang also answered quickly, skipping unnecessary greetings. Mara Fang asked as Finn Xi said, but the answer he got was that Delia Tang didn't know either.

Xi frowned slightly and said nothing. Mara Fang winked at the driver and told him to drive to Minghu Villa. The car drove slowly in the New Year's Eve traffic jam, stopping and going.

Finn Xi seemed a little sleepy and closed his eyes to take a nap. Mara Fang carefully changed the music to something suitable for hypnosis and turned off the notification sound on his phone, but he kept sending messages.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the traffic light. Finn Xi suddenly woke up and looked up at the red light countdown.

Mara Fang reported promptly: "I just checked Mr. Zhong's itinerary..."

Finn Xi's tone still sounded like he was still asleep: "Say."

"He's at the Hongri Mansion." Secretary Fang's hands and eyes are very good, and his contacts are all over Haijing City. Besides, it's not difficult to find out what happened tonight. "As you know, Corbin Huang is holding a New Year's Eve reception there tonight, and his mobile phone is required to enter. , probably because of this... But I heard that not many people were invited, so I don’t know how Mr. Zhong came to participate."

Finn Xi was surprised: "Corbin Huang? Why did Silas Zhong get involved with him?"

Who is Corbin Huang? It would be more appropriate for Finn Xi's grandfather Xi Yuncheng to introduce him. Twenty or thirty years ago, he was Xi Yuncheng's student. He almost married Finn Xi's aunt and became the Xi family's son-in-law.

But later, Xi Yuncheng thought that this man had evil intentions, kicked him out of the team, and broke off all contact with him.

For this reason, Corbin Huang always harbored resentment towards the Xi family. But regardless of his character, he is indeed very capable. After more than 20 years of ups and downs in the business world, he has transformed from the phoenix man who ridiculed the second lady for his rise to power, and has become a capital tycoon stomping around in the financial world, with followers behind him. Countless, last year, he published an autobiography, which exaggeratedly recounted the glorious history of his family. In the book, he mentioned Finn Xi's aunt. Corbin Huang actually claimed that he still did not marry a wife in his middle age because he could not forget her.

Finn Xi’s evaluation was: Disgusting.

------Although he does not marry a wife, he has never stopped having romantic affairs. His unmarried and illegitimate daughter is already twenty-four years old. It is really in bad taste to publicly make such remarks that can be called harassment to unrelated ladies.

But Silas Zhong...

Finn Xi had never expected that he would be related to this person.

"you sure?"

"Sure." Secretary Fang said, "Mr. Zhong came in at nine o'clock and hasn't come out yet."

...

Finn Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Corbin Huang was born in poverty, and he loves to preach about the difficulty of crossing the class. He cherishes talents and is willing to give young people opportunities. If he can get his appreciation, he can be regarded as Silas Zhongyou. Ability. ------What did you say before? No wonder Silas Zhong was investing..."

Last time, Fang Chusheng was afraid that Finn Xi wouldn't be able to tell that Silas Zhong had second thoughts, and would be tempted to rebel, so he tried his best to advise Finn Xi to be careful. This time, he didn't dare to say a word, for fear that Finn Xi would get angry and turn his anger on him.

But in the end, he couldn't help but take credit for it and said quickly: "I think it might not be that simple."

Mara Fang's expression was subtle, and he glanced at Finn Xi secretly: "There are rumors outside that Miss Huang has no interest in business, and only wants to get into the entertainment industry, and wants to be a female director. Corbin Huang has no successor, and he lacks a son-in-law..."

Let’s stop here and don’t need to clarify the second half of the sentence.

The red light had ended long ago, and the driver drove out of the congested road without any distractions. As the speed increased, the temperature inside the car suddenly dropped.

Finn Xi thought to himself that Mara Fang's speculation was not unreasonable. Marriage has always been the most effective way to achieve class crossing. If Silas Zhong wants to go ashore, this is a very smart way.

Since Miss Huang loves movies, it is not surprising that Aiwujiwu likes him.

But their relationship is not over yet. If Silas Zhong looks for someone else now, it would be a bit... too unruly.

Is it because Silas Zhong also heard rumors that he was getting engaged and felt a sense of crisis about his future? So you want to act early and find a way out?

... Finn Xi's face was as dark as water and he said nothing. Mara Fang didn't even dare to look at his face anymore, but suddenly, the cell phone vibrated suddenly in the dead silent car, and the word "Silas Zhong" was displayed on the screen.

It seemed that the reception was over and he came out.

However, the phone rang three times, but Finn Xi didn't answer it. The fourth call came into Mara Fang's cell phone. Even if his superiors don’t accept it, how can Mara Fang dare to accept it? Silas Zhong called three more times, but the incoming calls finally stopped.

Silas Zhong was always so measured. If someone didn't answer the phone, he would only call three times without disturbing them too much, as if he was afraid that the other party would hate him.

Normally this was an advantage, but tonight Finn Xi suddenly felt that his painstaking efforts were off-putting.

Ellis He was right, he was just a bed warmer. He didn't appreciate Finn Xi's respect for him. Instead, he thought that Finn Xi had a good temper and could be ignored at will.

Lovers should be treated like dogs, and should not be looked down upon.

Finn Xi frowned deeply, and the car stopped at another red light. Tonight seemed like bad luck, the red lights kept coming one after another, and the long sixty-second countdown was irritating.

A new message suddenly popped up in WeChat.

[Silas Zhong: Are you at home? Can I go find you? 】

Finn Xi didn’t reply.

After passing the red light and walking for another five minutes, he arrived at the door of Minghu Villa. He got out of the car with a gloomy face and strode into the door. Innocent Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were troubled by the second owner who named them. They did not receive Finn Xi's usual reward touch, but they did not realize what was happening and clung to him behind him, wagging their tails enthusiastically and acting coquettishly.

Finn Xi walked up the stairs and suddenly turned back: "Close the door."

It was an order given to the steward. Based on his understanding of Silas Zhong, someone must come to apologize tonight.

"------Change the password, and he will come and collect the keys later."
