Chapter 326: Meeting Mrs. Huo before the Engagement Banquet
"I can only say that this engagement party might not be very peaceful. Try to make as much preparation as possible in advance. I don't know anything else."
He really didn't know where the danger came from, and who would ruin the engagement party?
Whether it was Si Nian's enemy or Huo Beixiao's enemy, or their common enemy, the only thing he was sure of was that this engagement party would not be safe.
Huo Beixiao frowned even more tightly. What was going on? Why didn’t anyone tell him?
Bo Jingwen also left and there has been no news. He has not returned yet. It is still a question whether he can come back before the engagement party today.
"Okay, I understand. I will send people to prepare for defense."
After saying that, Huo Beixiao called Zhou Jinan and said, "Please arrange for more people to guard the engagement party tonight. Do not let any strangers into the venue. Anyone without an invitation must verify their identity.
Whether the invitees are bringing their families or others, everyone must be of the right status.”
Zhou Jinan asked on the other end: "What happened?"
Huo Beixiao just glanced at Xiao Qingyu and didn't tell Zhou Jinan the truth. He just explained lightly: "Someone said the same thing as Bo Jingwen. I feel a little uneasy, so we must strengthen security measures tonight."
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qingyu felt a little relieved when he saw how seriously Huo Beixiao took the matter. If they could strengthen their defenses, wouldn't anyone be able to succeed?
"As long as you can arrange it, I wish you a happy engagement." Xiao Qingyu suddenly sighed, "If Xiao Lan could see this, he would probably be very happy."
He was really happy and gave his best wishes.
Huo Beixiao lowered his eyes and curled his lips slightly, his tone quite melancholy: "My brother will naturally be happy for me."
Xiao Qingyu just nodded and said nothing more. When Si Nian and Tina came out again, they had already changed into their home clothes.
Tina was very excited: "There is nothing wrong with the wedding dress. Miss Si Nian looks so beautiful in it."
She was a girl who was moved!!
Huo Beixiao still didn't see it, and there was some regret in his eyes, but he was more looking forward to tonight.
"Thank you." Si Nian expressed his sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome." Xiao Qingyu said softly, "Since there's no problem, then our work for today is over."
Si Nian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!" She cordially invited: "If Mr. Xiao and Miss Tina don't mind, please come to my engagement party tonight."
Tina glanced at Xiao Qingyu, and seemed to be undecided about whether to attend the engagement party or not.
"Okay, Tina and I will arrive on time in the evening." Xiao Qingyu agreed directly.
"However, we still have to trouble Miss Si Nian to give us an invitation."
Si Nian looked directly at Huo Beixiao. He should be the one to handle this matter.
"Someone will deliver it directly to your company in half an hour."
He sent a message to Assistant Zhang to resolve the matter.
I have already tried on the wedding dress and suit, and the rest of the time is spent waiting for the engagement party to begin.
After they left, Si Nian collapsed on the sofa. She was so tired that her whole body ached. She couldn't help but glare at Huo Beixiao, as if to say, "It's all your fault."
Huo Beixiao touched his nose awkwardly, then said flatteringly, "Niannian, I was wrong. I will pay more attention next time."
But we can’t blame him alone for what happened last night. The drug was really too strong.
He also wanted to stop, but the effect of the medicine had not completely worn off, and it was still uncomfortable in his body.
"Shut up, I'm going to sleep a little longer. Wake me up at three in the afternoon."
After saying that, he got up and went straight to Huo Beixiao's bedroom.
Huo Beixiao shook his head helplessly behind her. This guy didn't even plan to eat when he went to sleep. But if she wasn't hungry now, then she could eat when she woke up.
It was almost 12 o'clock, and he did not force Nian Nian to eat at mealtime. He just wanted Nian Nian to eat when she was hungry.
"Then you take a nap. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back around 2:30. I'll wake you up at 3 o'clock."
"Yeah, go ahead."
Si Nian closed the door and went to sleep.
**
Huo Beixiao did not go anywhere else, but went straight back to the Huo family's old house.
He didn't know why, after Xiao Qingyu reminded him, the first person he thought of who would ruin his engagement party was his biological mother.
So he had to come and take a look to make sure she was still being punished. Only then could he feel at ease.
After arriving at the Huo family's old house, Huo Beixiao went straight to the basement. The moment he opened the door, the two people inside seemed to be frightened.
"Master...Master, why are you here?"
This reaction was not right. Huo Beixiao began to have doubts. He asked calmly, "Why are you so nervous? How has Madam Huo been lately?"
"Fortunately, his injuries...old wounds piled on top of new ones, it looked a bit horrible."
The person who spoke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know that Mr. Huo would come today, but every day during the day, Mrs. Huo would draw scars on her face and body just to deal with Huo Beixiao's sudden "inspection".
Principal Huo Bei looked up and saw Mrs. Huo collapsed on the ground, looking very weak.
He slowly walked up to Mrs. Huo's side and took a look at the injuries on her body: "It seems that they didn't hit her lightly. These injuries on your body are not fatal at all."
Think about what she did to Xiao Lan in the beginning. That was the beginning. And Nian Nian, that was all with murderous intent. But until now, his men were able to let her live.
Mrs. Huo has established a good relationship with these two people during this period. Her injuries have almost healed. Apart from the cost...but what she lacks the most is money. Money can make the world go round. The ancients were right.
She said weakly: "I'm not dead. It seems...it seems that you feel very sorry. Don't forget, I am your biological mother."
"No, I don't have a mother. You are not my mother, and I will not admit it." Huo Beixiao said with a cold face: "Just stay here until you die."
"Then I really...thank you very much."
After Huo Beixiao left the basement, he called Assistant Zhang directly and asked, "Go and check the identities of the two people guarding the Huo family's old house."
He had a strong feeling that these two people had betrayed him. The wound on the man's face didn't look like it was caused by a whip, but it did look like a wound.
For some reason, after meeting her, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, making him feel irritable.
He looked at the time, and when he saw the watch Nian Nian had given her, he felt relieved. It was almost time to go back and wake Nian Nian up.
He just didn't know that in just one day, he would regret not further confirming the wound today...
