Gu Lanqing didn't know that she had been set up by Huo Wei again.

He slowly walked to the banquet hall and ridicule could be seen in his eyes.

In the large banquet hall, there were very few guests.

Shen Bi Zhu stood in the middle of the banquet hall, her face ashen as she spoke on the phone, "Mrs. Zhang, you clearly received my invitation to attend my son's engagement banquet. "Why hasn't he come yet?"

"What?" Are you going to Mayor Liang's daughter's birthday party? What? "Are you afraid of offending Mayor Liang or our Huo family?"

"A dog's eyes look down on human beings!" Shen Bi Zhu scolded.

After she finished cursing, she shouted at the butler, "Where's Zichen? What? The banquet is about to start, and Zichen still isn't going to appear? "

"Bi Zhu, stop shouting. Old Wang, hurry and find Zichen. "Also, it doesn't matter if the guests come or not. Just send a few messages to the media." Old Man Huo coughed lightly.

She was sharp enough to see Gu Lanqing standing in the corner.

He suppressed the dry itch in his throat and looked at the woman in the silver grey dress with her delicate and elegant makeup.

A hint of mockery flashed in the depths of her eyes, causing Old Man Huo to narrow his eyes as he walked in front of her, "It seems that Huo Yan really loves you." He purposely chose today to get engaged to Bai Yuewei. As long as they are guests invited by our Huo family, he would invite them all. But, so what? "Even if the entire circle doesn't attend this banquet, today's engagement banquet will still be held."

Gu Lanqing smiled meaningfully. "Are you sure?"

The simple three words caused Old Man Huo's eyelids to twitch. He looked around and saw Huo Wei helping Huo Rui out.

Zichen …

"Where's Zichen?" You did something to him? " Old Man Huo exclaimed.

Shen Bi Zhu immediately retorted. With a pale face, she continued, "Do you still have any conscience! In order to save you, Zichen almost lost his life twice, and you actually attacked him!? "

Shen Bi Zhu couldn't bear it any longer and struck Gu Lan Qing's face.

Gu Lan Qing reached out to grab her wrist and tugged. She whispered into Shen Bi Zhu's ear, "You're so afraid that I would make a move on Huo Zichen, and you even forced me to get engaged to him." Is your son's life never as important as money? "

Then, he flung it out.

Shen Bi Zhu almost fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Hearing Shen Bi Zhu's shout, Huo Rui and Huo Jin's face changed.

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out. It was the special assistant who had taken care of Huo Zichen. The special assistant had a face full of panic, "Old man, madam. Not good. Young Master Zichen's room caught fire! "

"What?" Shen Bi Zhu's face was filled with panic. "What about Zichen?"

"Mom, I'm fine. "It's just that my arm is injured." Huo Zichen walked over. His clothes were burnt to a crisp, and there were obvious burns on his right arm.

"Gu Lanqing, how could your heart be so vicious?" She actually wants to burn Zichen to death! " After seeing that Huo Ziming was fine, Shen Bi Zhu's heart leaped into her throat and she quickly fell down, cursing at Gu Lan Qing.

Gu Lanqing treated her coldly.

A complicated look flashed across Huo Zichen's eyes. He held Shen Bi Zhu's arm and said, "Mom, the fire in my room has nothing to do with Qingqing. I drank too much and accidentally spilled it on the bed. The cigarette was lying on the bed again before it caught fire. "In short, it has nothing to do with Qingqing."

His tone froze as he looked towards the old man who still had some lingering fear on his face, "Old master, my arm is already injured."

He looked around the empty banquet hall and said, "Anyway, there aren't many guests today, so let's forget about this engagement banquet."

Gu Lanqing lowered her eyelashes and clenched her fingers.

Did Huo Zichen deliberately hurt himself in order to cancel the engagement?

"No." Huo Rui refused without waiting for Old Master Huo to speak.

He pushed Huo Xin away and walked in front of Huo Zichao, "No matter what, we have to hold today's engagement banquet. The reporter will be here in a moment. Your injury will be treated later. Now go and change your clothes. "

"Huo Rui!" Are you still speaking human words? "Zichen is injured, and you're forcing him to get engaged to this snake and scorpion girl!" Shen Bi Zhu screamed.

"Something with long hair and short experience! If you want to hand the Huo family over to Huo Wei in the future, then take Huo Zichao to the hospital right now! " Obviously, Huo Rui knew how to make Shen Bi Zhu listen to him obediently.

Shen Bi Zhu glared hatefully at Huo Rui. Even though he wasn't laughing, he was still full of evil intent.

Then, his gaze landed on Huo Zichen, "Zichen, hurry up and change your clothes."

A hint of sadness flashed across Huo Zichen's eyes.

Gu Lan's lips curled up into a mocking smile — she suspected that if Huo Zichen was still a vegetable, the Huo family would still have a way to force her to get engaged to him.

It was impossible for Huo Zichen to just leave Gu Lanqing here. He could only go back and change his clothes, and when he arrived at the banquet hall, he whispered in Gu Lanqing's ear, "Sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Lan Qing's gaze didn't waver.

When Huo Rui heard their conversation, he sneered, "The reporters will be here shortly. No matter what happens, you and Zichen are going to get engaged today. "

As he finished, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Steward Wang had already led the reporters in.

"If you want the antidote for Huo Yan, then hurry up and smile!" Huo Rui threatened him coldly.

Laugh?

Great.

In a moment she would laugh and watch him cry.

The corner of Gu Lan's lips curved slightly, her clear almond-shaped eyes. Her smile was deep and shallow, like a peaceful lake under the moonlight. It was quiet, but also exuded a sinister and eerie feeling.

When Huo Rui saw this, he could not help but shiver in his heart.

What was this damned girl up to?

What else did she want to do?

The reporters had already arrived.

The short spear cannon was fully equipped.

Soon, everyone in A City would know that she and Zichen were engaged.

She did not have any leeway!

Hearing Huo Rui's words, a stabbing pain appeared in Huo Ziming's heart — sure enough, she had cheated on him because of Huo Yan!

Did she care so much about Huo Yan?

No, no.

Huo Zichen foolishly looked at Gu Lan Qing's quiet and elegant smile. If she didn't have any feelings for him, she wouldn't have smiled so beautifully.

While in a daze, the reporter had already prepared the equipment.

The camera pointed at Gu Lanqing and Huo Zichen.

The smiling female host extended her microphone towards Gu Lanqing and Huo Zichen. Just as she was about to ask about their engagement, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

"Huo Rui! Huo Zhenshan!" the man roared.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice.

A middle-aged man with messy hair and carrying a huge bucket appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

The flames of hatred in his eyes locked tightly onto Huo Rui and Old Man Huo, who was standing beside him.

Following which, he walked in with large strides.

Out of the corner of his eye, Huo Rui saw the deep curve of Gu Lan's lips. He immediately said, "Stop him!" Throw him out! "

When the waiters and bodyguards heard this, they ran towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man opened the lid of the bucket and said sternly, "There is a high strength concentrated acid inside! Whoever doesn't want to die, come over! I don't mind sending him to hell! "

The waiter and bodyguard looked at the middle-aged man in fear.
