Chapter 371: someone is investigating our relationship

Chapter 371 Someone is investigating our relationship

The housekeeper's mind was turned and turned, from doubting what Huo Xiuyuan said, to whether Huo Hong noticed something was wrong.

As for Huo Yichen, he always believed that there would be no problems with the young master.

"No problem...but it's the biggest problem." Huo Hong smiled coldly.

He didn't hide his dissatisfaction with Huo Yichen. Rather, he reminded Huo Hong of one thing after learning about Huo Xiuyuan's upcoming engagement with Ruan Ying.

He gave Huo Yichen the task of getting close to Murong Qiao a long time ago. No matter how difficult the opponent is, it shouldn't be that there is no progress at all.

What's more, Huo Xiuyuan on the other side is about to get engaged. In contrast, Huo Yichen is so peaceful, which is not in line with Huo Hong's understanding of him.

The housekeeper's expression turned cold, "Do you need me to investigate?"

"Check." Huo Hong nodded.

Huo Yichen has been peaceful for so long, there must be something tricky.

What Huo Hong hates the most is things that are out of his control, and Huo Yichen happens to be in this category.

An unfamiliar white-eyed wolf was working under his hands. If he wasn't his own son, making Huo Hong an heir, he should have disposed of Huo Yichen long ago.

The housekeeper accepted Huo Hong's suspicion and left the study after getting the order.

You must let the young master know about this matter.

In less than a day, the whole circle knew about Ruan Ying and Huo Xiuyuan's engagement.

"In this way, the Murong family will be weak... According to Huo Hong's ambition, it always feels like a bloodbath."

"Not necessarily, the Murong family is so powerful, even if the Ruan family and the Huo family are engaged this time, it doesn't mean they will definitely join forces."

"Besides, why is Huo Xiuyuan not Huo Yichen who got engaged? Don't forget that Huo Yichen is the orthodox heir of the Huo family. There are many twists and turns."

"It's our turn to worry about such a big matter... If I say it, the most important thing is to see how to drink the soup that others have leaked."

Similar discussions spread quickly, but these rumors were not worth the fact of engagement.

Similarly, the invitation was sent to the Murong Residence by the Ruan family's messengers.

Uncle Yang looked at the invitation card in his hand, and was speechless for a moment.

"Uncle Yang?" Murong Qiao's curious voice sounded from behind him.

Uncle Yang turned around, "Miss."

He saluted respectfully, watched Murong Qiao come down the stairs, and then turned his eyes to the invitation card in his hand.

"This is it?" Murong Qiao was puzzled.

Uncle Yang handed over the invitation, "The Ruan family sent it to the engagement banquet for Ruan Ying, daughter of the Ruan family."

He gave a simple explanation, and the invitation fell into Murong Qiao's hands, and she read it twice.

"... Ruan Ying?" Murong Qiao heard this somewhat familiar name.

If she remembers correctly, she seemed to have just heard the name from An Nuo two days ago.

The Ruan family is also an existence that Murong Qiao is familiar with.

She carefully examined the invitation in her hand, then fixed her eyes on Huo Xiuyuan's name, and frowned slightly.

Tsk, the progress is so fast?

Uncle Yang nodded, "Ruan Ying, the daughter of the Ruan family, is notoriously naive. Even I was a little surprised to hear that she got engaged so soon."

He is an old man of the Murong family, so he is naturally very familiar with these families or young masters and ladies.

"...I saw her by chance two days ago, with Huo Xiuyuan." Murong Qiao pursed her lips.

She was a little surprised that Ruan Ying was engaged to Huo Xiuyuan.

Or, what method did Huo Xiuyuan use to make Ruan Ying give up on him so quickly?

Uncle Yang quietly stood aside, waiting for what Murong Qiao had to say.

Murong Qiao sighed, "Huo Xiu is far from being a good stubble."

Having been in contact with the other party several times, Murong Qiao knows exactly what Huo Xiuyuan is thinking and what kind of intentions he has to use him.

Thinking in her heart, the face she saw last time suddenly appeared in her mind, and she remembered the unique innocence and whiteness on Ruan Ying's face.

Murong Qiao intuitively felt that Ruan Ying was probably deceived by Huo Xiuyuan.

"Miss is worried about Ruan Ying?" Uncle Yang saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Then just take this opportunity to go and have a look."

He gave a suggestion, which was also Uncle Yang's plan just now.

Now it's the weekend, there's no one at home, so it's useless to send the invitation to the young master, so Uncle Yang decided to go find Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao was surprised, "Me?"

She didn't expect that going to the banquet would fall on herself.

"You know how busy Eldest Young Master is. Second Young Master can't get away from the hospital right now. Third Young Master went back to Huida two days ago and said he was preparing for a project..." Uncle Yang said helplessly, "Fourth Young Master, needless to say, Fifth Young Master is also filming went."

The implication is that the members of the Murong family are indeed the most suitable for Murong Qiao to go.

"..." Murong Qiao realized it belatedly.

She glanced at the upstairs studio where there had been no movement, and it was hard to find Fourth Brother with the invitation, asking him to attend.

In the end, it was Murong Qiao who accepted the invitation under Uncle Yang's expectant gaze, and stated that he would go.

Then she returned to the room, and when she was sitting on the bed looking at the invitation, she suddenly received a call from Huo Yichen.

"A Chen?" Murong Qiao's tone of joy and softness fell into Huo Yichen's ears.

The coldness on Huo Yichen's face melted a little, "Did I bother you?"

"No." Murong Qiao denied, "It's better to say that I still want to call you."

"Do you know about Ruan Ying's engagement?" She asked proactively.

Huo Yichen was silent for a moment, "I just found out."

Actually, Huo Yichen had just returned to Huo's house today when the housekeeper told him the news, and under Huo Hong's instruction, he also needed to attend the engagement banquet.

Huo Yichen can probably imagine Huo Xiuyuan's complacent look, after all, Huo Xiuyuan rarely "beats" himself once.

"I feel that Ruan Ying has been cheated, this engagement...it's hard to say." Murong Qiao roughly expressed his thoughts.

Huo Yichen frowned, "I don't know Ruan Ying, but the possibility that Huo Xiuyuan really likes Ruan Ying is zero."

"There is another thing," he mentioned the purpose of his call, "Huo Hong is looking for someone to investigate our relationship..."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Murong Qiao understood Huo Yichen's meaning.

It was probably a chain reaction brought about by Huo Xiuyuan.

Helpless, after discussing for a while, the two of them reached a temporary indifferent image, Huo Yichen will also start to erase some traces, lest Huo Hong really find out something.

This engagement, due to the importance the Ruan family attached to Ruan Ying, invited almost everyone in the circle that could be invited. It can be said that it couldn't be more grand.

In the final analysis, the Ruan family still dotes on Ruan Ying too much.

In addition, this time someone leaked the news that Huo Hong would also attend in person, and many people wanted to squeeze in. An invitation from the Ruan family can be sold for a sky-high price under the instigation of interested people.

When the day of the engagement came, the Ruan family got busy even earlier.

The location was decided by Ruan Ying, just next to Ruan's house, it was the greenhouse she liked to stay in since she was a child.

Carefully cultivated flowers are also used to decorate the venue by the servants. They are paved on both sides of the road, emitting fragrance and lingering around, as a welcome to guests.

"So beautiful." Huo Xiuyuan praised her.

He said this sincerely. Today, Ruan Ying is dressed like a princess in a fairy tale, as delicate as a flower fairy, and her every move is so delicate that it makes people's heart beat.
