"Yuanlu, Xue Ning is a very good girl. As your brother, I suggest you seize the opportunity."
Huo Beiting is not here, but he did a good job in assisting.
It is said that the husband sings and the wife follows. He has helped, so how can Yan Qing just stand there and say nothing?
The bride-to-be's voice, as clear as spring water, rang out as she jokingly said, "By bringing you two together, we can save a bit of money on our wedding gift. What a great thing."
They made a few jokes here and there, acting as if what happened between Song Xue Ning and Huo Yuanlu had come true.
"Boss Xiaoyan, stop laughing at me." Song Xuening's face was as red as a small tomato. She groaned several times before she remembered what she wanted to say. "If Boss Huo really just wanted to talk to you, why didn't he just call you? Boss Huo must have something else to tell you when he came here."
She glanced at Huo Yuanlu with a reproachful look, thinking that if he hadn't come to the Yan family, nothing would have happened.
But when her eyes met his, his heart began to beat again.
How can a girl be so cute?!
Yan Qing almost laughed to tears. She temporarily let Song Xuening go and then asked Huo Beiting: "Xuening is right. Why did you let Yuanlu run all the way here?"
"Nothing, he just seems too idle at the company."
Huo Beiting couldn't even find a decent excuse. Everyone in the Huo family, including the Yan family, knew that the eldest brother of the Huo family was getting married soon, and the second son of the Huo family was thrown into the company by his brother, under the pretext of training, but in fact he was just helping to take the blame.
Huo Yuanlu chuckled twice, feeling really helpless.
"Yuanlu, you can't lie to your sister-in-law. Is everything really alright?" Yan Qing looked suspicious.
Huo Beiting saw that he had teased her enough and stopped talking about other things: "I received a package here, it's not too good. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I asked Yuan Lu to go over and take a look."
The bride and groom cannot meet tonight, otherwise it will be bad for their future marriage. Even though he knows that these are all psychological factors, he just doesn't want to take the risk.
"Ah? I just received a package."
As soon as Yan Qing finished speaking, both the employee Lu who was standing next to her and Huo Beiting on the other end of the phone changed their expressions.
Huo Yuanlu had seen what was in the package his brother received. He was worried that Yan Qing would be frightened by what was in the box, so he asked first, "Where's the package?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Song Xue Ning immediately pointed at the table.
The maid just put the express box there.
Huo Yuanlu handed the phone to Yan Qing, walked to the table, picked up the small express box, and looked at it over and over for a long time. He was almost certain that this express box was sent by the same person as the one Huo Beiting received.
Rather than saying that it was sent out by mail, it would be more appropriate to say that the person himself placed it at the doorsteps of the two houses.
He pointed to Yan Qing's name written on the courier box and said to Huo Beiting, "Brother, the handwriting used to write my sister-in-law's name is the same as the one used to write your name, and the handwriting is very similar."
"Please bring the package back. Assistant Song, please spend time with Qingqing."
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing. Yan Qing felt a little headache and was about to say something when Huo Beiting interrupted her again.
"Qingqing, trust me, I will take care of this matter. You just need to stay safe and sound at the Yan family and wait for me to take you home with me. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but..."
"No buts, you have to listen to me this time."
Huo Beiting's words did not allow anyone to refuse. By the time Yan Qing reacted, Huo Yuanlu had already left with the express box.
It turns out he asked his brother-in-law to pick up the things...
But she and Song Xue Ning hadn't seen what was inside yet.
"Xue Ning, I regret this a little. If I had known that the servant would bring it over, we would have taken a look at what was inside... I'm so curious."
Yan Qing shook her arm and muttered a few words.
Song Xue Ning blamed herself for her bad mouth and suddenly made a gesture to hit herself, but was stopped by Yan Qing.
"I really feel like I'm a pessimist. That box must be something bad. I saw that Mr. Huo's tone was so serious just now, and Mr. Huo's face was not looking good either... There must be something serious going on here."
After she finished speaking, she held Yan Qing's hand, only to feel it was extremely cold.
Song Xue Ning felt a little distressed and comforted her, "But don't worry too much. You have to trust your man."
"Um……"
Yan Qing looked out the window and prayed silently that nothing would happen at tomorrow's wedding.
On the other side, Huo Yuanlu brought the box back to the Huo family. Huo Zhen and Huo Beiting, the grandfather and grandson, were sitting in the living room, and their faces were not looking good.
"Brother, you guessed right. There really is another one at the Yan family." He placed the box on the table in front of the three of them, sat down next to Huo Beiting, and continued, "This box was also placed at the gate of the courtyard. The servant who found the box didn't see who put it there."
He had inquired about these from the housekeeper before leaving the Yan family.
Huo Beiting nodded, then he looked at Huo Zhen.
"Grandpa, who do you think did this?"
Huo Zhen changed his kind appearance in front of Yan Qing, frowned, and signaled Huo Beiting to open the box.
"I think it doesn't matter who did it, as long as it's not done." He pounded the ground with his cane. "If anyone wants to ruin tomorrow's wedding, or hurt Qingqing, I will not let him go."
It can be seen that Huo Zhen is really angry this time.
After hearing his words, Huo Beiting first comforted the old man and then opened the box.
Sure enough, it was the same doll that was sent to him, painted with red ink. The two dolls were almost identical, both wearing wedding dresses and bridal styles.
"Doesn't this mean that someone really wants to take action against my sister-in-law?"
Huo Yuanlu frowned.
Huo Beiting couldn't think of any good solution for a moment, and it was inconvenient to cancel the wedding tomorrow.
"Grandpa, I don't want to gamble with Qingqing's life." His brows were furrowed, just like his brother's. "I don't want her to get hurt."
Huo Zhen nodded: "Grandpa understands, but..."
His words stopped at "but" and he didn't continue for a long time.
The two brothers were a little anxious and couldn't help asking: "But what?"
"If the person who sent the item tomorrow wants to harm Qingqing during the wedding livestream, what precautions will you take? Can you keep this a secret?"
Huo Beiting fell into deep thought.
He was not yet able to handle all the matters properly, and he had even less confidence that he could fully protect Yan Qing.
At this time, Huo Beiting was far more conflicted and entangled than anyone else.
