Whether Su Yaoyao is willing or not, isn't she going to marry him anyway?

Su Yaoyao was equally puzzled by Huo Xiting's question. She looked up at the gentle and handsome man, her expression complex.

"Xi Ting...I..."

However, before she could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Then the door was kicked open.

Huo Xiting paused, his hand, which was about to slip a ring onto Su Yaoyao's finger, in mid-air.

As Su Yaoyao turned her head to look, she subconsciously withdrew her hand.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Qing's expression hardened slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, just like the others.

A group of people in uniforms rushed in and surrounded the entire hall.

Huo Xiting narrowed his eyes and subconsciously shielded Su Yaoyao behind him; "Yaoyao, don't be afraid."

Su Yaoyao's gaze was fixed on the person in the lead.

It's Chu Ling.

Chu Ling was dressed in a formal suit, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His expression was cold and righteous.

He glanced around at the people in the room, his tone cold.

"We received a report that someone is using illegal substances here. Everyone, please stay where you are while our people conduct an inspection."

After speaking, Chu Ling glanced at Yu Qing, Huo Xiting, and the others.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Huo, are you both willing to cooperate?"

Before Huo Xiting could speak, Yu Qing spoke first.

"Captain Chu, today is my son's happy occasion. No one should be causing trouble here. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

Chu Ling smiled upon hearing this, but her gaze remained as cold as ever.

"Mr. Yu, are you questioning my ability to handle cases?"

Yu Qing narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Not at all, Captain Chu misunderstood me."

"But everyone here today is a guest. Since everyone is here, do you think anyone would do something illegal in public?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out in the crowd.

"Yeah, that shouldn't be the case. No one would be that stupid, right?"

"Could Captain Chu have made a mistake?"

"Today is Mr. Huo's special day. Who is so reckless as to cause trouble and bring bad luck on Mr. Huo's turf?"

However, at that moment, a very surprised voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait, has anyone seen Su Qingqing and Yu Chiyan?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked around, but indeed couldn't see Yu Chiyan. They were all surprised.

"It seems that Yu Chiyan and Su Qingqing are really not here."

"Could it be that they had something to do and left?"

"Who knows? You have to understand, the person who's going to get engaged to President Huo on stage is Su Yaoyao, Yu Chiyan's ex-wife. It's not impossible for him to do something bad on a day like this, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao, who was standing behind Huo Xiting, turned pale.

Chu Ling clearly hadn't expected everyone to point the finger at Yu Chiyan. He frowned slightly and addressed the crowd below the stage.

"Before the matter is clarified, everyone should refrain from making unfounded speculations."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people present quieted down a little.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Huo, this is your home turf today. Please take me to check all the rooms here."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting was the first to step forward; "Okay, I'll lead you on the search."

He took two steps forward and then realized that someone was tugging at the hem of his clothes.

The man turned his head and saw Su Yaoyao staring at him with wide eyes.

The woman's lips trembled slightly, her gaze filled with indescribable complexity.

Huo Xiting smiled, reached out and ruffled the woman's fluffy head, his voice low and gentle.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

Su Yaoyao thought of what Shen Jia had said: Su Qingqing had taken Yu Chiyan away, and now Chu Ling had appeared with people, saying that someone had reported that someone was using drugs here, and since he wasn't here, the person most likely to be suspected was Yu Chiyan. How could Su Yaoyao not be worried?

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Alright, let Captain Chu take a look. I'll join you."

Huo Xiting placed the ring in Su Yaoyao's hand and said something comforting.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be right back."

After saying this, Huo Xiting left with Yu Qingtian.

Looking at Yu Qing's back, Su Yaoyao suddenly realized something.

It's Yuqing!

He never intended to let Yu Chiyan go!

He devised a way to get Yu Chiyan out, all for the sake of his plan to get her and Huo Xiting engaged smoothly!

Everything that is happening now is part of Yuqing's plan!

He wanted Yu Chiyan to be completely disgraced in front of all the dignitaries and celebrities of Nancheng.

If Yu Chiyan, who has nothing now, were to be taken away by Chu Ling again, Yu Qing wouldn't even need to lift a finger. Those who had been suppressed by Yu Chiyan would do everything in their power to kick him while he was down, ensuring that Yu Chiyan would never have a chance to rise again.

Yu Qing chose this occasion because he wanted her to witness Yu Chiyan's fate firsthand.

Yu Chiyan loves Su Yaoyao, and this is beyond doubt in Yu Qing's eyes.

On the day that the person Yu Chiyan loved most became someone else's fiancée, he was imprisoned again, with no chance of ever turning his life around. How heartbreaking must that be?

Just thinking about it made Su Yaoyao feel pain in her breath.

At this moment, Shen Jia and Jiang Wen noticed that Su Yaoyao was not in good condition, so they quickly went forward to support her.

"Yaoyao, how are you? Are you alright?"
