Pour the powder into Mrs. Huo's cup, add another glass of water, and use the unused fork next to it as a stirring stick.
All actions were done with her back to people. Gou Jinfeng was wearing a maid's uniform and holding a kettle in her hand, so others thought she was a maid at work and didn't think much about it.
Watching the powder dissolve into the water, Gou Jinfeng showed a sinister smile.
Ye Yun, go to hell!
Hearing the noise nearby, the vigilant Gou Jinfeng quickly put the cup back where it was, then immediately fled the scene with the kettle.
In a few seconds, Mrs. Huo came back empty-handed, followed by Lin Yin.
"No kettle..."
Indeed, the drinks at the banquet were mostly red wine and champagne, and boiled water was rare. The glass that Lin Yin had just poured was specifically requested from someone else.
"It's okay." Lin Yin smiled and said, "I'll go downstairs and ask someone to get a drink."
As she spoke, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of a hurriedly leaving figure out of the corner of her eye.
She frowned and was about to catch up to see what was going on, but Mrs. Huo called her from behind.
"No!"
Mrs. Huo raised her glass, which was already filled with water. "Someone has already poured it for me."
Hearing this, Lin Yin immediately put aside what she had just been thinking and focused her attention on the glass of water.
Looking at the people around, I saw several servants clearing away the cakes and drinks that had been eaten by the guests on the table.
Who helped pour the water?
Lin Yin was more alert and said to Mrs. Huo, "Mom, please pour another cup."
Mrs. Huo looked at the cup in her hand blankly: "That's not necessary."
Seeing the worry in her daughter-in-law's eyes, Mrs. Huo was in a good mood and immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, it's okay. I guess the maid saw my cup there and poured water for me."
Lin Yin was comforted and didn't think much about it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued to stroll around the banquet.
"Mrs. Huo." When Mrs. Huo heard someone calling her, she turned her head and saw who was coming, her expression changed.
The banquet has been going on for half an hour, but I didn’t expect to see the host of the banquet until now.
Mrs. Huo is arrogant and cute in private, but she is also a steady and elegant lady in public.
She extended her right hand in a friendly manner: "Mr. Li, long time no see."
Director Li laughed heartily and shook hands with Mrs. Huo politely. "My wife strongly requested that Mrs. Huo be invited to this banquet. I was worried about you two at first...but I didn't expect Mrs. Huo to actually come."
Mrs. Huo maintained a dignified smile. "Mr. Li is really a joker. The fight between you and my wife happened hundreds of years ago."
She turned her head and looked at Mrs. Li next to Director Li, raising her eyebrows: "Really, Mrs. Li?"
Mrs. Li, as the hostess of the banquet today, was dressed very beautifully. She wore Lin's haute couture dress, her hair was piled high, and she wore a valuable necklace around her neck, which was also from the Lin brand.
Seeing that Li Jinzhu was so supportive of her son and daughter-in-law's business, Mrs. Huo felt much better.
Well, I didn’t notice it before, but now I realize that Li Jinzhu is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Li didn't expect Mrs. Huo to ask her this. She was stunned for two seconds, then nodded and said to her husband, "Huo... Ye Yun is right. That was hundreds of years ago. If Ye Yun and I met now, we wouldn't fight."
Director Li looked at the two women in confusion. Women were indeed the most difficult creatures to understand in this world. They used to fight each other when they met, but now they were talking to each other.
