"Be careful!" Gu Lan's heart shuddered, and she quickly supported Huo Zichao.
His fingers rested on his arm, and cold sweat soaked his thin suit.
"I'm fine." Huo Zichen smiled weakly.
"How can you be fine like this!" Gu Lanqing said directly to the bodyguards in front of her, "Zichen is seriously injured, hurry up and send him to the hospital."
The bodyguard turned around and said coldly, "We have already seen young master's injuries. He is just a superficial wound. Our duty is to see you upstairs. "
Gu Lanqing narrowed her eyes — this was going too far!
She sneered and took out her phone, then directly made a call. "Huo Wei, I want you to take care of the two bodyguards that sent Zichen and I to the banquet hall."
"Why are you asking me? Your Huo family is counting on me to get engaged to Huo Zichao! If we don't get rid of these two, we might as well scatter! "
After Gu Lanqing finished speaking, she hung up without giving Huo Qin a chance to refuse.
Immediately after, the bodyguard's phone rang.
The bodyguard's cold face was immediately covered in sweat, "Director Huo!"
Huo Shou told them to scram after Gu Lan Qing and Huo Zi Chen went upstairs.
Huo Zichen looked at Gu Lanqing, who had a shallow smile on her lips and a pair of bright eyes full of ridicule. His heart suddenly warmed, and she couldn't help but look at Gu Lanqing.
"Qingqing, I'm really fine. It's just that it was too painful just now. " His voice paused, and his long narrow eyes shone with a strange light. He looked at Gu Lanqing and said, "Qingqing, if you really want to know whether or not the antidote is in my father's hands, then you can directly attack me and use me to threaten my father. Isn't this the easiest way to cure him?"
She did not do so.
Did this mean that in her heart, he held a higher position than even Huo Yan?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so worried about his injuries.
"You are the one person I owe the most in this world. If I could, I would use my life to repay you for saving my life. How could I possibly threaten your father with you? " Gu Lan's clear eyes did not avoid looking at Huo Zichen at all.
Such magnanimity, like a pool of water to see the bottom of the stream.
Huo Zichen's face turned even paler. He couldn't help but ask, "Even if you had to watch Huo Yan and Bai Yuewei get engaged, you wouldn't care?"
Gu Lanqing instantly clenched her fingers. Her sharp nails pierced the palm of her hand.
At that moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
The two bodyguards from before put away their disrespect towards Gu Lanqing and Huo Zichen, and walked out of the elevator first. They smiled, "Miss Gu, Young Master Huo, please."
The banquet hall was decorated in a romantic and luxurious manner. White roses could be seen everywhere.
Ancient European crystal lamps reflected the luxurious light on the food and the guests who came and went.
Although the banquet had yet to officially begin, the guests had already arrived and were currently drinking wine.
The woman's envious gaze would occasionally land on Bai Yue Wei, who was sitting in the corner.
Bai Yuewei floated in the air, as if she was in a dream — she was the absolute star of this banquet.
Recently, the news of her release from prison had spread like wildfire. Her father was celebrating her birthday today in order to make up for the failure of the last meeting.
The reason her father was so happy was because she had promised him that he would propose to her at the birthday banquet.
And she had already released the news.
However …
Her gaze immediately turned sinister as it rested on Huo Jinyang, who was standing in front of the wheelchair.
Su Qian sat on the wheelchair and lectured Huo Jinyang with a hoarse voice, "How did you become so insensible? Didn't you hear me when I told you to give your mother this engagement ring? "
Su Qian held a brocade box in her hands that was covered in burn scars.
Inside was a large pigeon egg diamond ring.
It was precisely chosen by Bai Yuewei herself.
As long as the banquet reached its climax, Huo Jinyang would propose to her using this diamond ring in place of Huo Yan, and under Su Qian's pressure, Huo Yan would recognize her as his fiancee, even if he didn't.
Unless he wanted to be the one to let down his child and his reputation as an elder.
However, Huo Jinyang actually didn't know what was good for him and wasn't willing to cooperate with her and Su Qian's plans.
Huo Jinyang's small mouth was pursed into a straight line. His cold and aloof gaze coldly swept past Bai Yuewei — she was not his mother.
Bai Yuewei stood up and squatted down intimately in front of Huo Jinyang. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Lingfeng had already picked up Huo Jinyang's small body.
With a fake smile on his face, Lu Lingfeng condescendingly said to Bai Yuewei, "I'm sorry, Miss Bai. My young master is very afraid of scorpions, especially female scorpions. "
What do you mean?
Lu Lingfeng had called her a female scorpion!
The affectionate smile on Bai Yuewei's face immediately disappeared.
"Put down Jinyang! Is it your dog's turn to interfere with our Su Family's business? " Su Qian, who had long since hated Lu Lingfeng to the extreme, scolded him.
"Dogs don't get anything." Lu Lingfeng shook his slender arm, indicating that he was not a dog.
"How dare you!" Su Qian's face behind the veil turned livid as she said to the bodyguards that were hiding in the dark, "You guys come out and snatch the child for me!"
The bodyguard stood up and walked towards Lu Lingfeng.
"Let's see who dares to touch the child." A clear and elegant female voice sounded.
Su Qian and Bai Yuewei could not help but look over.
The woman slowly walked over. She wore a small, silver-gray dress. Her skin was as white as snow. Her exquisite facial features were elegant and elegant, and her pitch-black eyes were filled with dignity.
"Mom!" Huo Jinyang's originally cold and arrogant face suddenly turned warm. Struggling, he jumped out of Lu Lingfeng's embrace and ran towards Gu Lanqing.
Gu Lanqing squatted down, and Huo Jinyang rushed into her arms.
Her slender arms tightly wrapped around her neck as she whispered into her ear, "Mom, I really miss you. I really, really miss you!"
The smell of the baby's milk almost made Gu Lan Qing burst into tears. "Jinyang, mom misses you too."
Ever since she had fallen out with Huo Yan, he had divorced her and taken away Jin Yang's custody. This was the first time she had seen Jin Yang until now.
She did not dare to meet him in private for fear that the Huo Family would follow and attack Jin Yang.
"Gu Lanqing, it's you again!" "You shameless woman, how could you still have the face to appear here?" Su Qian gripped the armrest of her wheelchair and glared viciously at Gu Lanqing.
Gu Lan Qing's eyes narrowed. She held down Huo Jinyang who wanted to speak up and protect her, and softly said to Huo Jinyang, "Jinyang, follow your Uncle Lu and leave. Mother will see you in a while. "
Huo Jinyang pursed his lips and looked coldly at Su Qian before nodding, "Mom, see you there."
Gu Lan smiled and hooked her finger with Huo Jinyang's. "See you later."
Soon after, she stood up and saw Lu Lingfeng carrying Huo Jinyang away — there were some words that were inconvenient for the child to hear.
Su Qian let out a strange laugh and said disdainfully, "You actually know how to take the child away. If you really were thinking for your child, why didn't you close your legs a little tighter? With your adulterer, you were caught in bed by Huo Yan. I really am not afraid of everyone spitting a mouthful of saliva at you. "
