As soon as those words came out, the entire room went silent.
There was a line of exclamation marks on Joan's mind.
If he heard correctly, Mu Yuqing was Huo Chengzhou's brother-in-law, but he was once his fiancee!
Is the life of a rich family so messed up?
"Uncle, I respect you as an elder. How could you mention that on an occasion like today!"
The first reaction was Huo Chengyun.
The glass in his hand broke on the table with a loud voice.
Huo Qinghai's face changed.
As he wanted to speak, he caught a glimpse of Huo Qingshan's cold gaze and closed his mouth.
The scene was still embarrassing for a moment.
As for Yuqing he remained relaxed and clinked the glass in Huo Chengzhou's hands: "ah Cheng, I don't care. I'll drink with you on behalf of my sister-in-law."
After which, Huo Chengzhou raised his glass slightly, then nodded and drank all the red wine.
Mu Yuqing followed and drank the tea in the cup.
He lowered his eyes, but his gaze was fixed on Huo Chengzhou, and he discovered that Huo Cheng only had Joan in his eyes.
He placed the glass in his hand on the table and gently turned back to his seat.
A small episode passed.
After that dinner went well, there was only laughter and occasionally talking to general discussions that came out.
Huo Chengzhou was still taking good care of Joan's meal, occasionally he bribed her and Joan could only accept the bribe awkwardly.
In everyone's eyes, they get along well like a small couple in love.
After dinner, everyone left one after another.
Joan kept her manners and manners, greeting and escorting the farewells one by one.
Everyone said that they would get together again next time.
Joan answered him humbly, but her heart was a little complicated.
Until everyone left, Huo Chengzhou brought Joan back to the room.
They'll be staying at the mansion today.
Huo Chengzhou had said on the way here that Joan still had to be mentally prepared.
But when the door closed and there was a strange smell around her, Joan was still a little nervous.
His hands touched the big bed at will: "... Is this a double bed?"
Huo Chengzhou took out the medicine box from the small workroom.
He had just seen the uneasy atmosphere between Joan's eyebrows and eyes.
The corner of his lips was quietly connected.
He said, "yes, a standard double bed."
What the man said was not the answer Joan wanted to hear.
Joanne said lowly with an unusual rhythm, "you sleep in bed and I'll sleep on the couch."
Huo Chengzhou's eyes floated above the sofa that was near the head of the bed and softly said: "there is no sofa in this room."
Joan's pupils slightly widened, and shock came from the bottom of her eyes: "it...Uh!"
Huo Chengzhou suddenly raised Joan's leg, which made her reflexively shout, and then wanted to run away hiding: "What are you doing ..."
"Replace your clothes."
Huo Chengzhou pinched his ankle and took off his shoes neatly.
The blood had colored the white gauze to red on Joan's feet, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled as it began to feel sore.
Huo Chengzhou's eyes emitted a touch of heartache.
The tone is not light or heavy: "you have to use a wheelchair. This time, the wound was bleeding again."
Joan was in mental tension during the family banquet.
He did not notice any problems with his feet.
Right now, when he relaxed, he could feel a trace of heart-piercing pain.
"Hissing!" He took a breath and said, "it hurts."
"Omong empty!"
Huo Chengzhou carefully helped her clean the bloody gauze while putting Joan's legs on her knees.
Joan's toes and fingers curled up: "don't do that... It hurts..."
Joanne wants her legs back.
"Don't fool me. I'm not a three-year-old..." Joan's voice said, "I won't be paralyzed."
"Didn't you believe me?"
Huo Cheng teased Joan
"You're not a doctor."
Joan said weakly, "It's a big deal. Just leave it like that first for tonight, and go to the hospital tomorrow ."
He really couldn't stand the pain.
He could tell how painful it was.
Blood flowed out and stuck to the gauze. Currently, in addition to removing gauze, we must continue to disinfect and apply drugs.
Huo Chengzhou thought Joan really did not believe him, so he raised his eyes to look at Joan's face and persuaded her: "Don't worry, Qin Jingzhi taught me basic care. There's nothing to say about your injury. If you really feel worried, I'll let him come and see this wound, how?"
Hearing Qin Jingzhi's name, Joan suddenly felt nervous: "No, you better do it. I'll bear it."
Huo Chengzhou laughed.
She was obviously more cautious, but anyway, Joan showed her teeth in pain when it involved a wound.
Huo Chengzhou's technique was very good with only a short time he was done, then he immediately helped Joan put the medicine back on and change the gauze.
Putting Joan's foot on the bed, she gave a very serious warning: "this time, you have to take a wheelchair, or you have to go to the hospital if you have inflammation."
Joan nodded in her favor:"HMM."
The anti-inflammatory medicine that had just been dipped into the wound began to exert its effect, and Joan's legs went through another wave of pain, her soles trembling slightly.
Huo Chengzhou took out a piece of chocolate from the table and put it into Joan's mouth.
Joan was astonished and carefully licked the tip of her lips.
Then he put the chocolate in his mouth.
"Thank you." Joan says.
Huo Chengzhou sighed slightly: "Why are you so wary of me? Did I rob you of your money or what?"
Joanne was amused by him: "please, we only know a few days, not even a week."
"I've never seen you so wary of strangers."
Huo Chengzhou sneered in a low voice.
Joanne was stunned: "what?"
"No."
Huo Chengzhou looked at him cutely: "I just lied to you. There's a sofa in this room. I slept on the couch today."
Joan's face soared with a touch of relief that could be seen with the naked eye: "thank you."
Huo Chengzhou: "........."
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
the door of the room was knocked, followed by Huo Chengyun's voice: "ah Cheng, father asked you to go to the study."
"Okay, wait a minute." Huo Chengzhou replied and turned on the wheelchair: "Rest first. Don't take a shower today."
Joanne nodded, "Okay."
Huo Chengzhou opened the door and exited.
Huo Chengyun stood motionless and was about to enter the door: "go, I'll talk to Joan."
Huo Chengzhou looked back at him. There was a warning in his eyes.
Huo Chengyun shrugged: "don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say."
Huo Chengzhou started the wheelchair and left.
Huo Chengyun entered the room, closed the door, passed through the screen and saw Joan sitting on the bed, as usual with her eyebrows and calm eyes and elegant temperament.
"Joanne."
"Sister, come and sit down." Joan invited her sister-in-law in a soft voice.
Huo Chengyun pulled the small sofa at the head of the bed and looked at Joan: "You just met ah Cheng and don't know him well."
"Yes." Yeah."
Joanne was actually a little nervous.
He pulled a blanket around him and covered his legs: "I really don't know very well."
"Then you shouldn't know about him and Mu Yuqing right?." Chengyun asked in a deep voice.
Joanne shook her head: "No problem. It's all over."
In fact, she only felt that they would get divorced tomorrow. Better not to ask about his personal affairs.
But Huo Chengyun obviously didn't think so: "i appreciate your openness, but there are some things he doesn't say, I want to say on behalf of my sister."
