Chapter 131: Chapter 0131 Mu Lan Might Be in Trouble
Sheng Xueqian handed over two glasses of champagne and gave one to Sheng Xueqin.
“Sis, wishing you to succeed with flying colors in advance.”
Sheng Xueqin looked at her cousin and smiled faintly.
“I'll take your good fortune.”
In the center of the dance floor, Mu Lan's flaring dress hem resembled a blooming flower. She and Huo Tingxiao were remarkably in sync, which took her by surprise. After the dance ended, she was still a bit stunned.
“I didn't expect us to be so in sync the first time we danced.”
“Not the first time we danced?”
“Oh, right, we just practiced a bit in the hotel room earlier. I wasn't precise enough, sorry.”
Huo Tingxiao did not continue speaking, nor did he explain further.
The banquet hall quickly returned to being brightly lit, and amidst the clinking of glasses and conversations, the guests went to wish the old man well one after another.
“I'll go check on Grandpa, you take a break.”
The deep and pleasant voice of Huo Tingxiao reached Mu Lan's ear, and she thought she had heard it wrong. How could this normally expressionless man tell her to take a break?
Just as she was about to ask him something, Huo Tingxiao had already walked away.
Mu Lan prepared to head over to the buffet area to eat some fruit but was intercepted by a waiter who handed her a slip of paper.
Before she could get a good look at the person's face, they had already disappeared quickly into the crowd.
Opening the note in her hand, a message stood out starkly—If you want to know the real cause of your father's death, come alone to room 1808 within ten minutes, there will be no waiting beyond that.
Mu Lan frowned, her heart almost leaping to her throat.
Instinctively glancing in Huo Tingxiao's direction, she saw him deep in conversation with a group of elders, looking entirely focused.
Within ten minutes, there will be no waiting…
She did not have much time to hesitate, and besides, this was the Huo Family's territory. It wouldn't be easy for the other party to pull anything tricky.
Intentionally drawing Yun Xi away, Mu Lan lifted her dress and walked towards the banquet hall's main door.
Not far away, the Sheng sisters revealed a triumphant smile.
“Sis, she took the bait.”
“In another hour, there will be a good show to watch.”
Sheng Xueqin's eyes were filled with malice, and thinking of Huo Tingyang who was waiting in room 1808, she could hardly contain her excitement.
She had not expected such an excellent opportunity to fall into her lap, as Xian Yaping and Huo Tingyang, the mother and son duo, had chosen to create a scene today of all days.
A golden opportunity not to be missed, to ignore it would be a disgrace to fate's arrangement.
Of course, to help Huo Tingyang better accomplish his plan, she even provided him with something to heighten the excitement, a drug from which there was no escape if touched even slightly.
Closing her eyes and listening to the melodious music, Sheng Xueqin felt herself floating on air.
Meanwhile, Huo Tingxiao, who was mingling with the elders, scanned the room and did not find Mu Lan's figure, which made him frown.
Yun Xi approached with a serious face.
“Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo just sent me away and then she disappeared; I've been looking for her for a long time and can't find her.”
“Disappeared?”
A bad premonition suddenly erupted in his heart. He took out his phone, intending to call Mu Lan, only to remember that she had left it in the suite.
Yunzhan noticed his troubled expression and put aside his usually jovial demeanor.
“What's wrong?”
“Mu Lan might be in trouble, get the lobby manager to check the surveillance; I need to know her current location.”
Huo Tingxiao pretended as if nothing was wrong for fear of causing a commotion, yet his actions were quick and decisive. It didn't take long for him to trace Mu Lan's whereabouts.
She had actually gone to room 1808, but as that room was at a corner in the corridor, a blind spot for the cameras, and right next to the emergency staircase, it did not capture what exactly happened at the door.
“Who is my sister-in-law looking for?”
Yunzhan asked the question and immediately regretted it, sending Yun Xi away and going to the hotel room alone to keep the appointment…
He couldn't help but look at Huo Tingxiao with a sympathetic gaze, it was almost as if he wanted to say to him, “Take care of yourself.”
This must be the greatest pain the man had ever felt.
“Put away your dirty thoughts, Mu Lan is not that kind of woman.”
Caught off guard, Yunzhan couldn't help but cough awkwardly a few times and defend himself:
“I didn't say anything, don't wrong me.”
“You thought it in your heart.”
“…”
Damn, can't even think about it? So despotic?
Huo Tingxiao quickly went upstairs, and when he reached the door of 1808, he didn't even knock, but used a spare key card to open the door and rushed inside, where the scene on the bed was just too explicit…

In the banquet hall, Old Master Huo was still chatting with the guests.
Old Master Sheng also came to support the event, holding Old Master Huo's hand with a hearty smile and blessings.
“Big brother, I hope you have this day every year and this moment every year.
I know about the trouble our girl has caused, and I'm really sorry. Don't take it to heart.”
Old Master Sheng didn't specify which incident he was referring to, implying that it should just be forgotten.
Old Master Huo naturally couldn't disregard this face, let alone the relationship between the two families. He didn't want to fuss over things too much on this day.
“It's just kids making a fuss, and I definitely won't take it to heart.
My little girls also make quite a ruckus, it's no big deal.”
Han Yongmei, who stood to the side, remained silent, but in her heart, she actually had quite a few complaints about the two Sheng sisters.
Perhaps it started when Mu Lan stood up for her at the mall last time, she had become unable to tolerate others bullying her daughter-in-law.
“Sigh, I have to get the two girls to apologize to you in person, I can't spoil them too much. They are getting too unruly.
Xueqin is usually quite steady, but it's really not right that she made such a blunder this time.”
Old Master Sheng looked around and realized that he couldn't find his two granddaughters anywhere.
“Strange, where did these two girls go off to?”
“Maybe they found it boring and went somewhere else for fun. Young people are different from us old gentlemen.”
As they were talking, Sheng Xueqian hurried over, her face deathly pale.
“Huo… Grandpa Huo, it's terrible, something has happened.”
Old Master Huo furrowed his brow.
“Xueqian, what do you mean by that?”
Sheng Xueqian stumbled and looked troubled.
Old Master Sheng also didn't understand what was going on with his granddaughter.
“Xueqian, today is your Grandpa Huo's great day; don't spout nonsense.”
Sheng Xueqian suddenly burst into tears and grabbed Old Master Sheng's hand.
“Grandpa, I'm not spouting nonsense, you'll understand if you come with me.”
The two old masters followed Sheng Xueqian out of the banquet hall. The guests did not know what had happened and cast questioning looks, but Han Yongmei kept her composure, soothing the guests using the elders' fatigue as an excuse.
While the banquet gradually drew to a close, the room 1808 became increasingly lively.
All the way, Sheng Xueqian did nothing but cry, unable to articulate the reason, which left the two old masters somewhat baffled.
“Xueqian girl, don't just cry, what on earth happened?”
“Yes, what's the use of crying? Why not make things clear? You've got us two old men so anxious and uneasy.”
