Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 189 - 187: Instead of Revenging Her, Marry Her
Huo Zhenxuan was taken aback—it was Jiayi!
Tonight his place was quite lively, one visitor after another!
Then, with an evil smile, he set down his knife and fork, "Huh, what brings you here? Is big brother not back yet, feeling lonely? What do you want with me?"
Jiayi ignored his sleazy talk. If it wasn’t for the pleasure of watching the infighting spectacle between him and Mu Qingran, she truly wouldn’t bother saving him.
She stepped forward a few paces and scanned the late-night snacks on the coffee table.
"What’s up, beauty, want to drink with me? My tolerance is not worse than big brother’s!" Huo Zhenxuan raised his glass, making a toasting gesture in mid-air.
Of course, you’re just a drunkard who wastes his life away in drunken stupor!
Jiayi scoffed disdainfully, too lazy to entertain him, and began scrutinizing the snacks.
Red wine...
Right, the red wine, it must have been spiked with Merloton.
She picked up the red wine and sniffed it, her gaze intensifying.
In the recording from the bug, Mu Qingran asked Han Guangping what would be the best way to add Merloton to something without color or taste, so it wouldn’t be detected.
Han Guangping said to put it in a liquid, and better yet, if there was the presence of alcohol, it would help Merloton evaporate faster!
"Darling, it seems you share my good taste! This is ’82 Lafite, right!?" Huo Zhenxuan saw her pick up the red wine and was all the more eager to get closer, "If you’re interested, now that big brother is not back yet, the two of us can..."
If he could get his hands on Mu Qingran and even take big brother’s current—to bed, that would just be too perfect. Wouldn’t that infuriate big brother to death?
Before he could finish, Jiayi let out a cold laugh, "Good taste? I think you’re blind, that’s what."
Huo Zhenxuan was dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"
"I suggest you not drink this wine and instead take it for testing tomorrow. You will find out then."
Jiayi placed the wine on the coffee table, gave Huo Zhenxuan a meaningful glance, and turned to leave.
Huo Zhenxuan stood frozen on the spot; after a long while, his gaze moved to the red wine, and he suddenly gasped as if he had guessed something.
————
The next evening, the servants at Huo Garden saw the second young master storming into the villa, then heading straight upstairs.
A servant hurried forward, "Second young master, what’s wrong?"
The second young master rarely lost his temper like this!
Having just come from the laboratory, Huo Zhenxuan’s face was still terrifyingly grim. He shouted, "Get lost! It’s none of your business! Everyone back off!"
The servants, not daring to speak more, scattered and withdrew.
Huo Zhenxuan charged up to the second floor, ready to burst into Mu Qingran’s room, when a petite figure appeared before him, blocking his way.
Just by looking at him, Jiayi knew he had found out about the wine’s contents. She laughed lightly, whispering, "Is the second young master looking for Mu Qingran?"
At this moment, Huo Zhenxuan wished he could slice Mu Qingran into a thousand pieces. He was so angry his teeth itched, and since the girl in front of him was in the know, he did not hold back:
"I’m going to kill that bitch! The damn woman dared to poison the wine! I took it to a friend’s medical lab for testing—there was Merloton in it! The dose was so high that after drinking it, I could’ve become an idiot! God damn it, that bitch dared to harm me—"
The bitch had only been sweet-talking him before, secretly wanting to turn him into an idiot!
Yeah, that’s right, no one knew about this; if he became an idiot, no one would find out about his and her scandal!
Jiayi’s eyelashes flickered, "Now, even if the Second Young Master storms into Mu Qingran’s room and dismembers her, so what? Killing her might relieve his momentary hatred, but it won’t bring the Second Young Master any other benefits."
Huo Zhenxuan’s eyes widened, staring at the girl in front of him, "What... what do you mean? Are you saying I should act as if nothing happened, as if I don’t know she poisoned me?"
Jiayi looked around, then smiled faintly, "This isn’t the place to talk."
Huo Zhenxuan’s eyes narrowed, he understood, she was his elder brother’s woman, he shouldn’t trust her, and she wouldn’t help him for no reason.
But if it hadn’t been for her yesterday, he would’ve already drunk the glass of red wine spiked with metronidazole, and might have started to feel the effects in a few days.
Instantly dismissing any crooked thoughts about the woman in front of him, Huo Zhenxuan narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice, "Fifteen minutes later, at the Left Bank Cafe in the West City District, it’s quiet there."
Having said that, Huo Zhenxuan walked downstairs.
Jiayi’s lips curved, she went back to her room to change her clothes unhurriedly before leisurely going downstairs.
After leaving Huo Garden, she deliberately staggered her departure time from Huo Zhenxuan’s to avoid being noticed.
At the Left Bank Cafe, the tranquil environment was filled with the slow and deep sound of a saxophone.
In a corner sofa, the already impatient Huo Zhenxuan, who had arrived early was restlessly waiting.
Seeing a familiar figure appear in the doorway, Huo Zhenxuan immediately stood up, eager for the girl who had left Huo Garden later than himself to speak clearly, "What do you have to say, you can make it clear now, right?"
Jiayi sat down, her tone calm, "If the Second Young Master really wants to get revenge on Mu Qingran, it would be better to marry her. That would be even more beneficial to the Second Young Master."
Huo Zhenxuan was shocked, his anger flaring up immediately, marry her? Marry a woman who wanted to harm him?
But he forced himself to suppress his anger, sat down, and listened quietly to what Jiayi had to say.
"The old man is desperate for a grandson. The child in Mu Qingran’s belly is now his lifeline. If the child is yours, and you married Mu Qingran, don’t you think the old man would favor you more? If you were with Mu Qingran, your child would be the Huo Family’s first grandson. Even for the sake of the grandson, the old man’s attitude towards you would change. Haven’t you always wanted to get into headquarters?"
Huo Zhenxuan’s heart skipped a beat. The woman in front of him had precisely pinpointed his desires, stirring his thoughts.
But his face turned cold again, and he scoffed with a chilly laugh, "Do you think I’m a fool? Why would you help me like this? You’re my elder brother’s woman, are you hoping that I fall further from grace in the old man’s eyes?"
Jiayi’s lips curved up, revealing a trace of shrewdness, "Second Young Master, despite having so many girlfriends, you really don’t understand women’s hearts. Precisely because I’m with your elder brother, I would want you to be with Mu Qingran."
Huo Zhenxuan immediately understood, she was helping him to keep Mu Qingran away from his elder brother!
Right! Mu Qingran, leveraging her pregnancy, was nearly successful in forcing a marriage. How could she not be anxious?
Of course, she wanted to drag him onto the same side!
She must have been watching Mu Qingran for a while; otherwise, she wouldn’t have discovered that Mu Qingran had poisoned him.
Well, Mu Qingran, despite my trust in you, you poisoned me?
If you’re unkind, I’m unjust. You want to use me, I can use you in return!
Just wait and see what happens, Mu Qingran!
Huo Zhenxuan fell silent for a moment, clenched his fist, and with a snap, he struck the glass coffee table.
