Jiang Weiyang left angrily. No one dared to say anything else to avoid attracting trouble.
Huo Xiuyuan, who was standing not far away and taking in everything that had happened, smiled meaningfully and looked in the direction where Jiang Weiyang had left.
Jiang Weiyang chased the waiters away angrily and sat alone in the half-open room. No one disturbed her.
Huo Xiuyuan walked over and leaned against the door casually.
“You didn’t succeed?” He was even in the mood to tease her.
Jiang Weiyang recognized Huo Xiuyuan’s voice and glared at him angrily.
Her tone was irritable. “What you said was useless!”
“And why didn’t you tell me that he’s interested in Murong Qiao?” Jiang Weiyang accused him.
At the thought of how Huo Yichen had protected Murong Qiao just now and agreed to compete with her, Jiang Weiyang was furious.
Huo Xiuyuan happened to b.u.mp into this gun and suffered Jiang Weiyang’s anger.
However, he still had that smile on his face. “I just think that Young Miss Jiang is extraordinarily charming.”
“Looks like Huo Yichen is the insensitive one.” He shook his head, as if he was sighing.
However, there was no sincerity or pity in his tone. It was more like a cold sigh.
Jiang Weiyang was still angry. “If you’re here to mock me, why don’t you look at yourself?”
“Do you really think that Murong Qiao will take a fancy to you?” She looked at Huo Xiuyuan mockingly.
With the Murong Family’s background and strength, Murong Qiao could find any man she wanted.
A person like Huo Xiuyuan who wasn’t even considered an heir, was just a spare tire… Jiang Weiyang sneered.
Huo Xiuyuan was not angry when his sore spot was poked. However, the smile in his eyes disappeared and his gaze turned cold.
Huo Xiuyuan gave a fake smile. “It doesn’t matter if she takes a fancy to me or not. I don’t care about the process. I only care about the outcome.”
Stimulated by Jiang Weiyang’s words, he simply lost the desire to chat further and revealed his purpose for coming.
“I have a way to engineer the best result for the both of us.” Huo Xiuyuan threw out the hook.
As expected, when Jiang Weiyang heard him say this, she immediately looked up at him, her eyes filled with suspicion and curiosity, waiting for him to continue.
Huo Xiuyuan smiled. “If you like Huo Yichen, you have to deal with Murong
Qiao first. She happens to be my target too.”
“Drug her and bring her to a room. Leave the rest to me. When the time comes, you bring Huo Yichen over…” The rest of the sentence was silenced.
Huo Xiuyuan snapped his fingers. He did not finish his sentence, but the two of them looked at each other and understood what he meant.
Jiang Weiyang frowned and hesitated, “But…”
“It won’t dirty your hands to get someone to drug her for you. After Murong Qiao’s chast.i.ty is gone, Huo Yichen naturally won’t want her anymore. Won’t that be your chance?” Huo Xiuyuan pointed out the matter.
At the thought that the other party’s entire body and heart had fallen on Murong Qiao, Jiang Weiyang began to feel uncomfortable.
Although Huo Xiuyuan’s method was dirty, it was indeed effective.
Jiang Weiyang thought about it. Murong Qiao’s ugly behavior with other men would be exposed in front of Huo Yichen. That scene…
She only thought about it for a moment before she subconsciously became excited.
“Alright, I understand.” Jiang Weiyang agreed.
Huo Xiuyuan smiled in satisfaction and nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.”
With that, he turned to leave.
No third person heard their conversation. Not long after Huo Xiuyuan left, Jiang Weiyang called someone to bring the confused Feng Xinyao over.
“…Young Miss Jiang? You were looking for me?” Feng Xinyao asked carefully.
Before she came, she had heard from others that Jiang Weiyang had been so angry that she couldn’t compete just now. Now that she wanted to find her, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Jiang Weiyang was not as angry as Feng Xinyao had imagined. There was even a gentle smile on her face. She waved her hand and gestured for her to sit over.
Feng Xinyao followed her instructions and heard Jiang Weiyang speak.
“I need you to do me a favor.”
The banquet was about to come to an end. At this moment, most of the people had gathered in the hall to chat with each other and talk about recent interesting things.
Compared to the other Young Masters and Misuses who were gathered in groups to talk, Murong Qiao looked a little out of place standing in a corner of the banquet with a wine gla.s.s in her hand.
Huo Yichen had gone out to answer a call at the last minute. Murong Qiao simply waited alone at the side.
Just as she was wondering if she should leave the boring banquet and go home, a waiter walked towards her.
“Sorry to disturb you, Young Miss Murong. Young Master Huo asked me to bring you a gla.s.s of red wine just now.” He walked up to Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao frowned. “Young Master Huo?”
She subconsciously thought of Huo Xiuyuan and was on guard.
The attendant nodded and explained.
“He said that he wanted to exchange it for some low-density ones for you. He was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to withstand the alcohol.”
As soon as he said this, Murong Qiao subconsciously believed that it was Huo Yichen.
She still had her doubts and deliberately asked, “Then where is he?”
“When I left, Young Master Huo was on the phone on the east balcony. He only said that he wanted me to deliver the wine,” the waiter replied honestly.
It was exactly the same as when Huo Yichen left.
Only then did Murong Qiao lower her guard and take the gla.s.s of wine on the waiter’s tray.
That gla.s.s of wine was spiked.
In the distance, Feng Xinyao looked at the gla.s.s of wine Murong Qiao was holding and couldn’t help but be secretly happy.
This was what Jiang Weiyang had asked her to help with just now.
In order to catch Murong Qiao off guard, even the excuse was that Feng Xinyao had specially asked the waiter to say that Huo Yichen had given her the wine.
She wanted to see Murong Qiao make a fool of herself and even separate her from Huo Yichen. Feng Xinyao had agreed sincerely to Jiang Weiyang’s plan and requested her help.
In fact, in order to prevent Murong Qiao from being vigilant if she went over, she even carefully asked the waiter to go over and exchange the gla.s.s of wine using an irresistible reason.
“Drink it obediently…” Feng Xinyao muttered softly.
She stared in Murong Qiao’s direction, as if she had already seen the other party embarra.s.s herself. Her eyes were urgent and filled with joy.
However, Murong Qiao was sharp-eyed, especially the hint of urgency that Feng Xinyao revealed just now. She almost instantly caught it.
She turned to look at the source of the gaze and saw Feng Xinyao’s expression before she could retract it.
Feng Xinyao didn’t expect Murong Qiao to suddenly look at her. She was caught off guard and was stunned for a second before turning around in a panic and took a sip of wine as if nothing had happened.
In any case, she had not done anything.
However, Murong Qiao only felt that Feng Xinyao’s reaction reflected two words.
Very suspicious.
Murong Qiao’s intuition told her that Feng Xinyao was secretly observing her from afar. She must be thinking about how to cause trouble again.
She frowned and looked around but did not find anything unusual. Her gaze was thoughtful before it slowly landed on the gla.s.s of wine in her hand.
The only variable was this gla.s.s of wine.
Doubts swirled in Murong Qiao’s heart. She stared at the cup of wine and shook it slowly. She watched as the l.u.s.trous and beautiful liquid spun gently, reflecting the beautiful lights above her head and melting into the wine.
A male voice suddenly interrupted Murong Qiao’s thoughts.
“Young Miss Murong.” Someone walked to her side and greeted her.
Murong Qiao looked up and saw a thin and handsome man walking towards her.
It was someone she had never seen before.
As if he could read Murong Qiao’s thoughts, the other party first introduced himself.
“My name is Jiang Wenxu. I’m Jiang Weiyang’s elder brother.” Jiang Wenxu smiled faintly..
