Chapter 702: She... did she forget?
??Chapter 702 She... forgot?
??After Jiang Weiyang made a fool of himself, it was like a signal that made this banquet completely unsettled.
??When Murong Qiao went back to look for Huo Yichen, he saw a waiter standing beside him, who seemed to be holding a certain package in his hand, and the package could feel the magnificence from a distance.
?? "A Chen?" Murong Qiao walked over and called him.
??Huo Yichen turned his head and saw Murong Qiao coming, he instinctively reached out his hand to stop her shoulder, then frowned, looked at the waiter's package and began to explain.
?? "I don't know who brought it, it only says a gift, and there is no signature." He stared at the package and said.
?? Originally, he didn't want to care about this thing, but it was written on the package that it was for Huo Yichen, and he also wished him a happy birthday today.
??The beautiful swashes are paired with a white ribbon, and the dark blue packaging has a shimmer. It's hard to imagine that it came from the hands of any nobleman.
?? "Why don't you take it apart and have a look?" Murong Qiao suggested. "Maybe it's just carelessness, let's look at the gift, it should also be a clue to find someone."
??Birthdays must always come with gifts, maybe some careless person forgot to sign.
??Seeing this, Huo Yichen motioned for the waiter to open the package.
??But after the gorgeous and exquisite wrapping paper was removed from the outside, there was another very unexpected and disgusting thing inside.
??A bat carcass that seemed to have died not long ago was lying quietly in the box.
?? "This!" The waiter was shocked, but since Huo Yichen was standing in front of him, he still suppressed his nausea after all, and did not let go and threw the box out.
??Murong Qiao probed, only glimpsed a vague black and bat shape, before he even had time to take a closer look, his eyes were completely blocked by a palm.
?? "Don't look." Huo Yichen's steady voice came from next to her ear.
?? But telling Murong Qiao not to look, Huo Yichen's hand was eventually torn off by Murong Qiao himself, and then she saw clearly what the bat looked like.
?? I don't know if it's my illusion, when I saw the bat, even though it wasn't close, Murong Qiao always felt a smell drifting towards him.
??In addition to a dead bat carcass in the box, there is also a pattern of a human head, and the line style looks like Greece.
?? "What is this, bats and... Greece?" Murong Qiao frowned.
??Huo Yichen didn't speak, but glanced at the crowd who had gradually gathered around, as if they were watching the excitement.
??From the waiter's exclamation just now, the other guests noticed the strange situation on Huo Yichen's side, not to mention that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao gathered together again.
??He pondered for a moment, "It's revenge."
?? "Revenge?" Murong Qiao looked at Huo Yichen and repeated what he said.
?? "Yes." Huo Yichen nodded, and explained to Murong Qiao softly. "In Greek legend, the bat is the vengeful embodiment of the dead, returning to seek revenge on those he hated."
?? It was the first time for Murong Qiao to hear it, so he raised his eyebrows to express his surprise. "Is there such a saying?"
?? "It's rare, but—" Huo Yichen pursed his lips, as if thinking. "After I returned to Huo's house, one of the many courses I took was related to this knowledge."
?? Just when Huo Hong was planning to train him to be his heir, during that time Huo Yichen studied hard every day, and the knowledge was deeply ingrained in his mind.
??Revenge?
??Murong Qiao looked at the "gift" that didn't seem to be called a gift, and thought about it for a while, if he received such a gift on his birthday—
?? It can't be said that it is a bit unlucky, it is very unlucky.
??Whoever has a good brain will not just come up with such a gift.
?? "Take it down first." Huo Yichen ordered the waiter.
??There are too many suspicious candidates that can be thought of for this gift, and Huo Yichen has no intention of doing these tasks for a while, and the first task now is the banquet.
??The waiter quickly bowed and took the gift again in front of everyone.
??But this special birthday gift still left an indelible mark in the hearts of everyone at the banquet.
??Feeling strange looks from the people around him, Huo Yichen took a sip of the red wine in his hand very calmly, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, as if nothing happened just now.
?? Everyone saw this and didn't open their mouths to discuss it. After all, this is still in the Huo family.
?? But when the banquet was about to end, the people who were going home one after another couldn't help but open up their conversations once they got outside and in their cars.
?? "Who do you think can give Huo Yichen such a big face today?"
?? "If you want me to say that during this period of time, he has provoked countless people just in Huo's. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it would be too difficult."
?? "When I don't send it, but at this time, I always feel restless in my heart, as if something is going to happen."
?? "Let's wait and see for a while..."
?? Similar discussions appeared one after another among the people who left.
??Everyone likes gossip, especially these so-called upper-class families, who care about every news about the big shots.
??As today's host, Huo Yichen, what happened will undoubtedly make everyone feel that his majesty is offended.
?? It doesn't even take one night, just after people walk out of the banquet for a while, even many people who didn't come to Huo's house also learned the news.
??After the banquet was over, Murong Qiao sent his brothers away first, and then took off the cumbersome and gorgeous dress, before going to Huo Yichen.
??When she went, the other party was standing at the door, still wearing that suit.
Murong Qiao looked at him from behind, watching him staring intently at the leaving cars one after another, seemingly in thought, and finally walked around behind him lightly, and tapped Huo Yichen's shoulder as a sign remind.
?? "Still thinking about that incident just now?" She hooked Huo Yichen's arm.
??Huo Yichen's tone paused for a moment, "That's right."
?? It's just that he hasn't come up with any results yet.
??Huo Yichen was thinking more about Murong Qiao and his own birthday just now.
??Since Murong Qiao came to the banquet, he has never mentioned the matter of giving gifts.
?? Yes... forgot?
?? "Don't think about what you have and what you don't have, let's go out and relax? I feel like my bones are about to fall apart after a banquet all night."
??Murong Qiao made a seemingly natural proposal, pretending that he didn't see the disappointment on Huo Yichen's face.
??How could Huo Yichen not agree to her? Even though it is already one o'clock in the morning, he still agreed to Murong Qiao's words to go out.
?? "Then I'll go change my clothes."
??Suits are not suitable for going out.
??Looking at Murong Qiao wearing a casual denim jacket with a beautiful white skirt underneath, it didn't take long for Huo Yichen to change into a suit that matched Murong Qiao.
??The two men who have taken off their formal clothes are both wearing denim style. Standing together again, people can see it at a glance. They even look like they were still a couple when they returned to college.
?? "I won't bother the birthday man to drive today—" Murong Qiao took out his spare car key from his pocket and shook it in his hand.
??She drove her own car over this time, so Murong Qiao walked over first, and then imitated Huo Yichen's usual way of opening the door for herself, and made the same move.
??Seeing her being so funny, Huo Yichen was a little dumbfounded, but he still obeyed Murong Qiao's arrangement and got into the co-pilot.
??
