Chapter 106: A Game Within a Game
After returning to the Lu Mansion from Zhuguang that day, Huo Xiaolan was uncharacteristically well-behaved.
"Third uncle, third aunt," she smiled respectfully with the tray in her hand, "This is the fresh star fruit I bought today, you can taste it." ”
Lu Hancheng glanced at it and said, "I'm allergic, forget it." ”
Huo Xiaoting reluctantly took one for him, and said in a low voice: "Enough, take it to your grandma to eat." ”
Huo Xiaolan did as she said, and when she turned back, she said worriedly: "Third aunt, I want to go home and get some things, I don't know if the third aunt can accompany me?" ”
Hearing this, Huo Xiaoting understood that she meant to go back to the Huo family.
"What are you going to take? I'll pick it up for you. ”
"No, in fact, I can do it alone, but after all, it hasn't been the first three months yet, I'm worried that if it happens, there will be no one around, Ah Brown is not in the old house during this time, thinking about it, the third aunt is the most suitable."
"I understand, since you're pregnant, don't go back and forth, I'll just go home and get it myself."
"Really? That's really thanks to the third aunt, I took the list down immediately. ”
Saying that, Huo Xiaolan returned to the upstairs guest room and took a clear list, Huo Xiaoting took a look and found that there was nothing special on it, just some items used on weekdays, and some books.
"That's all?" Doubts flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, I've vomited a lot lately, I can't sleep well, the sleeping pillow at home is what I have used for many years, I thought that taking it back may help me sleep, and the rest is also the items that can be used at hand, if the third aunt is too much, just take the sleeping pillow."
"It's okay, I can get it back, when do you want it?"
"Don't worry, it's okay tomorrow, I'll go back with you, there will be a response on the way."
Seeing that she insisted, Huo Xiaoting didn't say anything again.
The next morning, the driver of the Lu family drove towards Huo's house with the two sisters, and along the way, Huo Xiaolan seemed to be sending messages in a hurry. Huo Xiaoting glanced at it, but couldn't see who she was contacting.
After a while, the two arrived at Huo's house.
"You wait in the car, I'll get it for you." Huo Xiaoting took the initiative.
"No, how can I call the third aunt? Follow along no matter what. ”
Seeing that she had done everything but had done everything she had done cleanly, Huo Xiaoting felt helpless, and only said, "Whatever you want." ”
The two of them walked towards the courtyard together, and Huo Xiaoting suddenly found Huo Xiaolan looking around cautiously, as if looking for something.
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Huo Xiaolan hurriedly put away her eyes, and when she was about to push the door in, she saw that the previously closed window was opened a gap, so she relieved herself and said, "Third aunt, most of my things are in my room, I'll find them myself, sleep on the sofa in the wine room, you can help me get it." ”
"yes, okay."
Huo Xiaoting walked towards the wine storage room as he said, pushed the door in, and saw a pink pillow lying on the sofa not far away.
She walked as she walked, and as soon as her hand touched the pillow, there was a slight sound of the door closing.
Immediately, a smiling male voice sounded behind him.
"Mrs. Lu, I'm glad to meet you."
Huo Xiaoting turned around suddenly, and found that it was Zhuo Kai, only to see him with a dirty smile on his face, and slowly walked towards Huo Xiaoting.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard Xiaolan say that you are very smart, in that case, how about I play a game with you? If you guess correctly, I can be gentle with you; If you're wrong, then don't blame me for not caring for the beauty. ”
Huo Xiaoting frowned and thought about it, and said coldly after a while: "You and Huo Xiaolan are in collusion!" After that, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her body and wanted to call for help, but Zhuo Kai rushed up with an arrow, brutally snatched the mobile phone from her hand, threw it to the side, and hit the wine bottle.
All of a sudden, there was a bang, and several bottles of red wine fell, and shards were splashed.
"Heh," Zhuo Kai smiled disdainfully, "I'm colluding with Huo Xiaolan?" Mrs. Lu, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation, now she wants to see my face and beg me, and she doesn't hesitate to drag you into the water in order to please me, why do I bother to surrender my identity and be like her? Also, I like spicy food like you. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Huo Xiaoting's pink cheeks......
Syllable!
Huo Xiaoting slapped his hand down suddenly, and said angrily in a low voice: "It's not good for you to do this." ”
"Tsk, Mrs. Lu, I'm just catching up with you, what are you doing so nervous?" As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and his eyes no longer wandered, but a little chill rose.
Huo Xiaoting's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly said, "Then how about we make a deal?" ”
Zhuo Kai was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he stroked his palms and laughed.
"Mrs. Lu, I'm talking to your sister right now...... No, it's your niece and daughter-in-law who make a deal, and you get in halfway, so naturally I have to have better chips before I'm willing to do this business with you, otherwise why should I? ”
"Okay," Huo Xiaoting said in his chest, "I dare to say it, I won't let you down, you might as well tell me what Huo Xiaolan responded to you first, if there is a benchmark, I can make a bid." ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Kai tasted with interest: "Mrs. Lu is really an expert in business, but I have a good deal with you, what should you do when you pay the bill?" ”
"The decision is yours, and you can choose not to say it." Huo Xiaoting was light and breezy, and he didn't look like he was being controlled by others, but sat down on the sofa lightly, and his subordinates stroked the sleeping pillow that was supposed to be given to Huo Xiaolan from time to time.
Taking advantage of Zhuo Kai's moment, she raised her eyes and said lightly: "Huo Xiaolan is upstairs, maybe she is lying outside the door and eavesdropping at the moment, this wine room has excellent sound insulation, but you had better decide as soon as possible." ”
Zhuo Kai's eyes flashed a few heavy colors, and finally spoke: "Okay, Huo Xiaolan promised me to ruin your reputation today, and she helped me get the business of the Lu Hotel." ”
"I see," Huo Xiaoting raised his eyebrows, Lu's hotels are hard to find no matter the off-season and peak season, and if you can become a supplier of hotel fruits, you can naturally make a profit, "Mr. Zhuo, you are too blind, you should know the fate of offending Lu Hancheng, you moved his woman, even if Huo Xiaolan uses despicable means to help you carry a business for a year and a half?" Life is gone, and if you make money, you don't make wedding dresses for others? ”
"Mrs. Lu, you don't have to scare me, Lu Hancheng is naturally ruthless, but will he really do everything for you? It is said that once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, just look at Huo Xiaolan, if you sharpen your head and marry in, you have to borrow it from me......" Zhuo Kai suddenly realized something, swallowed the last word, and refused to say anything more.
But seeing his uncomfortable look, Huo Xiaoting's heart sank.
"What do you say? What to borrow? ”
"It's nothing," Zhuo Kai frowned impatiently, "What kind of deal are you going to make?" Sort it off. With that, he looked out the door, then broke several glasses.
"The business you just said, I can take it right now, this is my bargaining chip, how about it?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Kai was obviously moved. He said with a straight face: "Are you sure? ”
"Of course, but I want to be able to walk out of this door intact today, and you have to accompany her to perform this play."
"How?"
After Huo Xiaoting reached out and tore his coat, he raised his eyes and said lightly: "After we leave, you have to tell her that you have succeeded." ”
Seeing this, Huo Xiaoting got up and walked to the wine cabinet, and decisively threw the Huo family's many years of wine on the ground one by one, and the splashed glass shards accidentally flew on her calves, leaving blood stains.
The coldness she felt surprised Zhuo Kai, who was in the world. He swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to look at Huo Xiaoting again, and nodded in response.
After the two stayed in the wine room for more than ten minutes, Huo Xiaoting got up and glanced at Zhuo Kai coldly, and said lightly, "Your clothes are too neat." ”
Zhuo Kai hurriedly untied the belt around his waist, like Huo Xiaoting's obedient subordinates.
Huo Xiaoting stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, suddenly opened the door and rushed out, and in an instant, he bumped into Huo Xiaolan.
"Ahh There are people in the wine room! ”
She pretended to be panicked, and said with concern: "Third aunt, why is the door locked?" Who is that guy? It's a man, right? ”
Huo Xiaoting struggled to get up from the ground and said in a low voice, "It's nothing." ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Huo Xiaoting looked extremely excited, she stuffed the sleeping pillow in her hand into Huo Xiaolan's hand, and said in a low voice, "Go home quickly, the driver is still waiting." ”
"Good ......," Huo Xiaolan replied timidly, but looked proudly towards the wine storage room, the flowing red wine had spread to the door, and the entire wine storage room looked messy.
Huo Xiaoting had already walked out, and red marks appeared on his white calves.
Huo Xiaolan's fingers were embedded in the sleeping pillow, her facial features were distorted, and there was indescribable pride in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Half an hour later, the two returned to Lu's house, and Lu Hancheng also returned home from the company.
"Kiosk?" He looked at Huo Xiaoting, who was covered in disarray, in surprise, and asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”
Huo Xiaoting shook his hand back, made a few strokes on his palm, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”
There was no one else on the first floor of the Lu Mansion except the maids, but Huo Xiaolan suddenly shouted, "Ah...... My stomach hurts......"
She shouted and screamed, Ye Jin and Du Ru immediately rushed down from upstairs, and also saw Huo Xiaoting's embarrassed appearance.
Du Ru didn't care about teasing, and hurriedly felt Huo Xiaolan beside him and scolded: "Let you be hypocritical!" It's normal to not sleep well while pregnant! Do you have to rush back to get some sleeping pillows? Can't you sleep without that broken pillow? Now it's good! Got the tire gas! If something happens to the child, I won't clean you up! ”
Ye Jin frowned and said, "What are you talking about now?" Send Xiaolan to the hospital. ”
After that, she looked back at Huo Xiaoting uneasily, and wanted to ask but stopped......
