This is not simply a conflict between the Huo family and the Ji family.
Although there hasn't been a chance to do a paternity test for Xu Qingyun and Huo Xize yet, based on various signs, it's almost certain that they are father and daughter.
Xu Qingyun herself knew that the reason she didn't go to Huo Xize was because she wanted to know why Huo Xize hadn't acknowledged her all these years since he knew about her daughter's existence.
Therefore, whether the Ji family and the Huo family will form a powerful alliance or engage in fierce competition probably depends on Xu Qingyun's attitude towards Huo Xize.
Ji Hanchen remained silent.
Shen Luo suddenly said, "I think it would be good if the Ye family stayed. If Xiao Yun takes over the Ye family and becomes the richest person in Nancheng, it will be beneficial to her in every way."
At the very least, Ren Anjing will no longer object to Xu Qingyun marrying Ji Hanchen, and may even beg the Ji family to form a marriage alliance with the Ye family.
"We'll see." Ji Hanchen picked up Xu Qingyun.
"The rooms are all booked," Shen Luo reminded her.
"No need, Jiang Xun is waiting outside. Lu Chuan, the coat." Ji Hanchen looked at Xu Qingyun's coat, worried that she might catch a cold.
Lu Chuan picked it up and covered Xu Qingyun's head, a hint of drunkenness in his voice. "Last time, Qin Shuang got drunk and jumped right onto my back, breaking my knee in a flash. Sure enough, gentle women are quiet and well-behaved even when they're drunk, right, Shen Luo?!"
Shen Luo scoffed, "It depends on the person."
"Oh, isn't she your wife?" Lu Chuan became interested.
Shen Luo frowned, somewhat annoyed. "I don't remember. I don't care about that woman at all."
In reality, when Xia Chu is drunk, she won't be as outgoing as Qin Shuang, nor as quiet as Xu Qingyun.
The usually quiet Xia Chu becomes emotionally agitated when drunk, looking at him with red eyes and accusing him of his heartlessness.
She would question, "Shen Luo, what's wrong with me? Why can't you even look at me properly?!"
Xia Chu would hug him and cry, "Chen Luo, do you know, I really hate you, but I don't think I have the right to hate you, because falling in love with you and marrying you were all my own choice."
Xia Chu would punch him, "Chen Luo, you're such an idiot. I told you I didn't scheme against you, but you just won't believe me. You're so good at investigating, why don't you investigate? You're afraid, aren't you? You're afraid that the investigation will reveal that your sweetheart is the one who schemed against you."
"You don't want to hate her, so you hate me. You stubbornly insist on throwing everything at me. But Shen Luo, I'm a human being. I have a heart, and I feel pain. I just fell in love with you. What did I do wrong? If loving you means enduring all this, then I'd rather never have met you."
Shen Luo discovered that alcohol made him more clear-headed, and many things he shouldn't have remembered came to mind.
For example, the things Xia Chu said.
Shen Luo himself was surprised that he could remember it so clearly, and even remember Xia Chu's expression and tone at the time.
And that time, Xia Chu cried as she hugged him, pleading humbly, "Chen Luo, look at me, I beg you to look at me, okay? I am your wife, I am not your enemy. Even if you don't love me, please don't hate me, okay?"
Thinking about all this, Shen Luo felt a burning pain in her throat.
The alcohol was probably too strong tonight.
Shen Luo suddenly stood up, picked up her coat, and walked out.
Lu Chuan said "Hey," and then asked, "Old Shen, where are we going?"
"Find Xia Chu." Shen Luo said without turning her head.
Lu Chuan's smile widened. "Don't drive. It's okay if something happens to you, but don't drag innocent people into it."
Shen Luo shot her a sharp look, "I know! I don't need you to remind me."
Lu Chuan shrugged. "Look, I'm trying to be nice and I still get roasted."
Bai Ruiting smiled and said, "You should know Shen Luo. He is always self-centered and hates it when people interfere with him or give him instructions."
Lu Chuan curled his lip, "He just needs to be tortured. By the way, I'm planning to go find my wife. It's too cold today, I need my wife and kids to keep the bed warm, do you want to come along?"
Lu Chuan is missing his wife again.
He needs to work harder to make Qin Shuang completely addicted to his body as soon as possible, and then reveal his identity.
He had to put his hands on his hips and laugh loudly, "Hahaha, wife, I'm your dead husband whose grave is covered in grass two meters high, are you surprised or not?"
Bai Ruiting sighed softly, "I'm single, don't torture me."
"Find one quickly. A man only realizes how wonderful women are once he has a wife. I used to just talk the talk, but now I have plenty of practical experience."
Bai Ruiting smiled and said, "You should leave now."
Lu Chuan also left, leaving Bai Ruiting alone in the large private room.
He poured himself another glass of wine, took out the medicine bottle that Ji Hanchen had given him, and his eyes darkened.
This medicine...
That's so vicious.
After eating it for two years in a row, Xu Qingyun's health is probably...
She hadn't had a chance to tell Ji Hanchen about this, and naturally, she hadn't told Xu Qingyun either.
Why did Ye An make Xu Qingyun take such a vicious drug?!
If he wanted to harm Xu Qingyun, he could have simply ended her life. Why did he let her live and then force her to take such a vicious drug?!

"Yunyun, do you know what you're doing?" Ji Hanchen's throat tightened, as if a fire was burning him.
At this moment, the girl he had always longed for was on top of him, her drunken eyes filled with lust.
Xu Qingyun didn't speak, but gently put her lips to his Adam's apple.
"Ugh..." Ji Hanchen groaned, feeling as if an electric current was flowing through his body, making him completely weak.
“Yunyun, don’t…” Ji Hanchen murmured.
Xu Qingyun gently licked his Adam's apple and reached out to unbutton his collar.
Ji Hanchen grasped her hand with trembling hands, "Yunyun, if you keep doing this, I might not be able to control myself anymore."
Xu Qingyun parted her red lips slightly and continued to unbutton his second button.
Although Ji Hanchen was holding her hand, his strength was not great, and he could not restrain her movements at all.
The third one, the fourth one...
With all the buttons undone, Xu Qingyun pushed his shirt up to the sides, revealing the man's sexy chest and abdominal muscles.
Ji Hanchen was breathing rapidly, his chest heaving violently.
Xu Qingyun pressed herself against him, her voice hoarse as she asked, "Ji Hanchen, do you want me?"
Ji Hanchen's heart skipped a beat, "Yunyun, I hope you're sober..."
Xu Qingyun sealed his lips with a kiss.
Ji Hanchen let out another muffled groan, his large hand instinctively gripping the bed sheet.
He was struggling to control the surging desire within him, but the girl on top of him was kissing his lips, his chin, his collarbone, his chest, and his abs...
boom!
As fireworks exploded in his mind, all of Ji Hanchen's rationality collapsed. He suddenly grabbed Xu Qingyun's slender waist, and the two of them spun around and made love.
Ji Hanchen breathed heavily, his eyes fixed on the alluring girl. "Yunyun, tell me, you don't regret it. Tell me, you're sober."
