Huo Tingzhen seemed to think that Xu Niannian wasn't sad enough, so he deliberately showed a regretful expression.
"What a pity about all that drugged red wine that wasn't finished! Each bottle cost hundreds of thousands!"
Following Huo Tingzhen's gaze, Xu Niannian saw twenty unopened bottles of red wine on the table.
She remembered that Mingming had drunk more than thirty bottles of red wine under her and her aunt's deliberate guidance, so how come there was still some left?
Huo Tingzhen thoughtfully explained to her, "Luckily, the servants also brought out the red wine from the second wine cabinet, otherwise the wine they served would all be spiked, and everyone would still be dizzy!"
Xu Niannian almost turned into a fire-breathing dragon on the spot. Why are these servants so clumsy?
Didn't I tell you several times to open the red wine in the first wine cabinet first?
She also instructed the servants to pour water for everyone, ensuring that everyone had at least one cup.
To avoid suspicion, she deliberately drank several more glasses!
Now that things have turned out this way, Old Mrs. Huo is furious with Xu Que, and she is certain that Xu Que's help was indispensable in this matter.
"Two people go up and see if the doctor has woken Xu Que up yet?"
Huo Yunzhen said, "My mom drank a bit too much, she probably won't wake up for a while."
Old Mrs. Huo said, "Then let's wake him up by splashing him with water."
Huo Yunzhen knew she was angry. "I'll go up and see."
Xu Niannian covered her face and followed behind him, trying to run upstairs to her room.
Huo Tingzhen stepped forward and blocked her path.
“Niannian, don’t worry, your third uncle will definitely give you an explanation. You were raised by my dad and Aunt Xu, and they won’t let you go like this without a name or status.”
Who wants his official title!
She would rather remain unmarried for the rest of her life than marry that old man, Huo San.
"I don't want to, I won't get married!"
"How can that be? Aunt Xu said before that no girl doesn't get married, and she wanted to arrange blind dates for me! You couldn't help but drug and do that with Uncle San, how can you not be together? Do you just want a fleeting affair?"
That makes her sound like a fickle woman.
Xu Niannian wished she could tear Huo Tingzhen's mouth apart.
"I'm a victim too, I..."
Huo Tingzhen looked at the others with suspicion, especially Huo Shanzhen, "Have you ever seen a victim collectively drugging others at a family dinner? Shanzhen, have you ever seen that?"
Huo Shanzhen: "I've never seen it."
Huo Tingzhen said, "Niannian, don't worry. Although I found it hard to accept just now, I've come to terms with it now. You're a good girl, and your third uncle is a good man who understands women. You'll be very happy if you marry him."
Xu Niannian's brow twitched, and the image of her praising Huo San when she conspired with Xu Que flashed through her mind.
Uncle Huo is a good man who understands women; Jian Yu will be very happy marrying him.
How could Huo Tingzhen know this?
I wonder if Xu Niannian's situation was just a coincidence?
She and her aunt were clearly talking in hushed tones behind closed doors.
No outsider could possibly know. Could it be that there's a listening device in my aunt's room?
Xu Niannian was eager to know the answer, so she pushed Huo Tingzhen away and ran into Xu Que's bedroom.
I almost bumped into the doctor.
Doctor, "Ms. Xu, please be careful."
After he left, Xu Niannian closed and locked the door.
Xu Que had just woken up and was still a little dazed.
Seeing her close the door, Huo Yunzhen said irritably, "What are you doing?"
Xu Niannian pulled him and pushed him to the bedside, "Quickly, look for it!"
"Looking for what?"
"Eavesdropping device?"
Huo Yunzhen's expression changed. "Who planted the listening device?"
Xu Que also became much more alert in an instant. "Are you sure?"
Xu Niannian said, "I'm not sure, but the words Huo Tingzhen just said praising Uncle Huo are exactly the same as what I said a few days ago. I don't think it's a coincidence."
Xu Que: "Then hurry up and find it. You all help too!"
He pointed to the two servants inside the house.
The group searched the bedroom twice, but found nothing suspicious.
Huo Yunzhen: "I think you're being far too paranoid now."
Xu Niannian frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she took out her phone and turned it off.
You suspect it's a cell phone?
"Yes, I remember Yu Yao saying that Jian Yu seems to understand electronics."
Xu Que also took out his phone and turned it off.
Huo Yunzhen said, "Give me your phones, I'll have someone take them to be repaired and see if they've been eavesdropped on."
Xu Que said, "Why don't you get yours checked too? Don't let Huo Qizhen do anything underhanded."
Huo Yunzhen's assistant brought over three new cell phones. After Huo Yunzhen, Xu Que, and Xu Niannian switched to them, the assistant left with the three old ones.
George, watching anxiously from the side, said, "We need to quickly inform the young master and the others."
"Don't be nervous."
Jian Yu knew who Huo Yunzhen knew.
With their technical skills, they still can't find her code.
There was no trace of her.
Although there's no need to be alarmed, the necessary notifications still need to be sent out.
Huo Tingzhen replied instantly.
[Xu Niannian is really cunning, but she never expected that the one who betrayed them was one of their own.]
I know the person Huo Yunzhen found is far less skilled than you, so I wasn't worried about him at all.
Huo Tingzhen and Jian Yu were having a great time chatting, while everyone else was furious.
Why aren't Xu Que and the others coming down yet?
If it weren't for Hoan's sake...
Given their nature, the moment they discovered that Xu Niannian had drugged someone, they forced Xu Que to deal with the person.
If they can be satisfied, they will let the matter drop.
If not, they will handle it their own way.
Now, Huo San is involved again.
Xu Niannian's identity may have changed, but out of respect for Huo San, they should show some mercy.
"Brother An, are you really going to let the third brother marry Xu Niannian?"
How could Huo An possibly agree?
Not to mention Huo An was unwilling, even Huo Shanzhen was unwilling.
Huo Shanzhen: "Uncle An, what are you thinking?"
Huo An said, "Let's wait until your dad wakes up! Maybe neither of them will want to."
Huo Shanzhen pursed his lips; his father probably really didn't want to.
His father was a womanizer and it was impossible for him to stay with one woman for life.
Once he marries Xu Niannian, many of his actions will be under the supervision of Huo An and Xu Que.
It was nothing like the freedom we have now.
Besides, his father marrying Xu Niannian wasn't just a source of annoyance for him alone.
The people who felt most uncomfortable were Huo An and Xu Que.
The niece I watched grow up has suddenly become my sister-in-law.
Such an absurd thing is laughable just thinking about it.
To make Huo An unhappy, Huo Shanzhen deliberately put on a show, saying, "If my dad is willing, I have no objection. After all, Xu Niannian is someone I know well, and she's young and beautiful. She should be able to make my dad settle down and focus on his life."
You have no objection, but I do.
Focus on living a normal life?
That depends on who you're with.
Huo San could sleep with any woman he wanted, except for Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian was at least half his daughter.
How could I follow Huo San?
Huo An wished he could beat Huo San to a pulp.
If he could control his lower body, he wouldn't have put everyone in such an embarrassing situation.
