Chapter 1 The Huo Family's Birthday Party
Chapter 1 Huo Family Birthday Party
It was evening, and the Huo family's living room was brightly lit, with exquisite crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, which looked particularly dazzling.
On the dining table in the center, the silver candlesticks and tableware sparkled under the candlelight, creating strange lights and shadows.
Exquisite dishes and snacks are placed on the table, exuding tempting aromas that make people's fingers lick their fingers.
Most of the people attending this banquet were relatives and friends of the Huo family, or wealthy merchants who had business dealings with the Huo family.
Gao Huilan was very happy today. Her daughter had safely grown to the age of sixteen and had made a marriage contract with the Xu family, which could be regarded as settling her worries.
"It's time to cut the cake, let's go see if Weiwei is ready." Gao Huilan said to the maid beside her.
The maid responded and went upstairs.
At this time, half of a vacant room on the third floor was filled with debris.
Huo Weiwei, who was wearing a bright red evening dress, stared at this place with disgust and said, "Is the method you said really work?"
Next to her stood an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl named Huo Xin.
The two of them look very similar, but Huo Weiwei's appearance is more delicate, her skin is whiter than snow, and her charm is natural, like God's most exquisite masterpiece.
Huo Xin looked at Huo Weiwei, hiding the jealousy in her heart, and said: "Of course, little aunt, this room is next door to Lu Yan. If you disappear, your grandparents will definitely send people to look for you until they find out.
If you are hidden here, Lu Yan will definitely be blamed, and Lu Yan will definitely be kicked out of the Huo family by then."
Lu Yan is the son of the Huo family's nanny. Because his mother accidentally injured Huo Minghui, resulting in Huo Minghui's death, he was sent to prison by the Huo family and has not been released yet.
Originally, Lu Yan was going to be sent to an orphanage, but the Huo family adopted him because they thought he was young and helpless.
But Lu Yan was withdrawn by nature. Some people said that he suppressed his father and his mother, so the Huo family didn't like him.
Huo Weiwei is no exception. When Lu Yan's mother killed her eldest brother, she was so frightened that she had been in poor health since she was a child. The doctor said that if she wasn't taken care of well, she might not live to be twenty years old.
Under everyone's indoctrination, Huo Weiwei believed that all this was Lu Yan's fault, and she could only get better if Lu Yan left the Huo family.
Huo nodded slightly and said to Huo Xin, "Then I'll hide in the closet and come out after Lu Yan is driven away."
"Okay, little aunt, please hide quickly, I'll go out first."
Huo Xin saw Huo Weiwei hiding in the cabinet and was about to leave the room.
But his eyes suddenly turned to the chair aside, with a bottle of medicine on it.
A trace of confusion flashed in Huo Xin's eyes, but she still took the medicine away calmly.
…
When the maid saw Huo Xin coming downstairs in a panic, she asked, "Miss Xin, is the eldest lady in the room?"
"She's not here, I'm looking for my little aunt everywhere." Huo Xin clenched her palms, and a white medicine bottle was vaguely visible between her fingers.
The maid didn't pay attention. When she heard this, she ran upstairs to find someone.
After confirming that it was not the case, the maid ran downstairs and whispered to Gao Huilan: "Madam, the eldest lady is missing."
"What did you say?" Gao Huilan was chatting with a few rich ladies, when she suddenly heard the maid's words, her expression suddenly changed.
The maid didn't dare to lie. She searched upstairs for a long time but couldn't find Huo Weiwei. Worried about something happening to Huo Weiwei, she hurried down to tell Mrs. Huo.
Gao Huilan said anxiously and angrily: "Have you already looked for him?"
"Miss Xin and I have searched, but we didn't see the eldest lady." The maid answered truthfully.
"Xinxin, you haven't seen Weiwei either?" Gao Huilan looked at Huo Xin next to the maid and asked.
Huo Xin replied nervously: "Yes, grandma, but yesterday Lu Yan came to see my little aunt and said he wanted to attend her birthday party, but she rejected him. Could it be..."
Gao Huilan looked ugly and said: "Go and call Lu Yan over."
"Mrs. Huo, has something happened?" A wealthy lady saw that Mrs. Huo's face was not good, so she asked aloud.
Gao Huilan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. A few juniors caused some trouble. I'll go check it out. I'll excuse you now."
"Mrs. Huo, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy." Several rich ladies said quickly.
…
At this time, in a room in the Huo family villa.
Two bodyguards and a maid came in. The maid said, "Lu Yan, my wife asked you to come over."
The young man sitting at the desk reading turned his head, and the light flashed across his face. His cold and aloof eyes seemed to have no focus, and his dark eyes were full of calm. His black hair was scattered around his ears, forming an arc.
The boy was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a piece of clothing that was obviously ill-fitting and very old. The clothes were too wide and made him look very thin.
Lu Yan stood up, closed the books in his hands and put them away. Then he followed the maid to a study room without saying a word.
The door opened and several elders of the Huo family were present.
Lu Yan walked in with neither humility nor arrogance and said hello to them: "Master, Madam, Second Master, Third Master."
Gao Huilan stared at Lu Yan with cold eyes and said, "Where is Weiwei? Where did you hide Weiwei?"
"The eldest lady is missing?" A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. No wonder the Huo family went out to find him. It turned out that Huo Weiwei was missing.
He asked back: "Are you doubting me? But I haven't left the door all day today, and the eldest lady has no contact with me. I don't know why my wife said that I hid the eldest lady?"
"Don't make excuses. You were jealous that Weiwei was not allowed to attend her birthday party, so you hid Weiwei in your heart, right?" Gao Huilan lost her usual calmness when she heard that her beloved daughter was missing.
"Hui Lan, calm down first. Wei Wei is gone. I know you are anxious, but you said that Lu Yan hid the person. Do you have any evidence?"
Huo Chaokun, like the rest of the Huo family, didn't like Lu Yan, but he didn't treat his junior to the point of not distinguishing right from wrong.
"Mom and Dad, the most important thing now is to find Weiwei first. It's not too late to talk about the evidence later." Huo Mingze looked at Huo Mingxi aside and said, "Have you searched all the places in the villa?"
"We have searched for her and checked the lobby surveillance system. Weiwei has not been seen since she went upstairs. However, someone saw Weiwei appearing outside Lu Yan's corridor."
"Lu Yan, are you still unwilling to tell the truth now?" Gao Huilan glared at Lu Yan coldly.
Huo Mingze said: "Lu Yan, Weiwei is not in good health. If you are really dissatisfied, you shouldn't do such a thing."
"Yes, Lu Yan, the guests are all outside now, don't let the Huo family lose face and become a laughing stock." Huo Mingxi persuaded him kindly.
Huo Chaokun's face darkened when he heard these words: "Lu Yan, a man must dare to take action. If you really do it, you must tell the truth, otherwise I will kick you out of the Huo family. Our Huo family cannot keep anyone with ulterior motives.
.”
These words stabbed Lu Yan's heart like needles. He thought he was used to it, but he didn't expect it would still hurt...
