Huo Xiaoran looked at Xiao Yue. “You know that she can’t hold her liquor, so why did you force her to drink so much?” He had many questions in his heart, but he couldn’t get Xiao Yue to answer them.

Huo Zhou smiled mysteriously and said, “It won’t be too late to interrogate her after she wakes up.”

As expected, Xiao Yue only took a short nap before getting up to go to the bathroom.

Huo Zhou brought her to the bathroom. After Xiao Yue came out, she was no longer sleepy, but she started to get drunk.

She sang, danced, and confessed her love to Qiao He. She was so crazy that Huo Xiaoran was speechless.

“Why did she do that when she was drunk?”

Huo Zhou smiled and said, “If you have any questions, quickly ask her. I can’t guarantee when she will fall asleep again.”

Huo Zhou pulled Xiao Yue to the stone table and sat her down.

Huo Xiaoran pondered for a moment before asking, “Yueyue, are you close to Qiao An?”

If they weren’t close, Huo Xiaoran wouldn’t have wasted his energy interrogating Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue bragged, “We’re not sisters. We’re better than sisters. She can share her secrets with me. I’m willing to go through fire and water for her.”

Huo Xiaoran felt inexplicably jealous. “How long has she known you for to be able to share secrets with you?”

She had always treated him as an outsider despite their years of relationship. Qiao An’s treatment of Xiao Yue made him jealous.

Xiao Yue stood up and patted her chest. “Second Cousin, you don’t believe me? Let me tell you, I know all of Sister Qiao An’s secrets. I even know why she abandoned you in the first place. I also know how she feels about you.”

Huo Xiaoran swallowed.

He glared at Xiao Yue jealously. It was Huo Zhou who came back to his senses and grabbed the keyword. He shook Xiao Yue excitedly. “Yueyue, tell us quickly. Why did Qiao An abandon your second cousin and marry Li Zecheng back then? Did she despise your cousin for not being powerful back then and wanted to climb up the social ladder?”

Xiao Yue said, “Nonsense. Sister Qiao An will be angry if you insult her like this.”

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran looked at each other. In their eyes, it was certain that Qiao An married Li Zecheng for his riches.

But from what Xiao Yue said, there seemed to be something else.

“Then why?” Huo Xiaoran asked hoarsely.

Xiao Yue pointed a finger at Huo Xiaoran’s nose and condemned, “It’s all your fault for not protecting her well.”

Huo Xiaoran felt inexplicably flustered.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess. If Qiao An had really been forced to marry Li Zecheng, he had found countless reasons for Qiao An to marry Li Zecheng, but every reason terrified him.

“Li Zecheng bullied her? He forced Qiao An to marry him?” Huo Zhou’s imagination began to run wild.

Xiao Yue waved her hand. “No.”

“When Qiao An and Li Zecheng got married, I tried to persuade her. Why didn’t she leave with me?” Huo Xiaoran was puzzled.

Huo Zhou agreed. “That’s right. If she really had any difficulties, she should have told Xiaoran at that time. In my opinion, she clearly despised the poor and loved the rich. Now that she wants to turn back, she deliberately found an excuse for her actions back then. Yueyue, you’re innocent. Don’t be fooled.”

As soon as Huo Zhou finished speaking, he heard Xiao Yue shout angrily, “No way. Qiao An doesn’t want to get back with Cousin.”

Huo Xiaoran’s face alternated between green and white.

“She doesn’t love me anymore?”

Xiao Yue said, “Yesterday, I even asked her if she wanted to return to Cousin’s side…”

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou held their breaths and waited quietly for Yueyue’s answer, afraid that they would miss every key piece of information.

After waiting for a long time for Xiao Yue to continue, Huo Zhou panicked and urged, “What did she say?”

“She said that she was once hurt by Wei Xin. Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you. She won’t treat Lu Mo like this.”

Huo Xiaoran’s heart instantly sank. He slumped back in his chair.

He knew that from the moment he agreed to be with Lu Mo, he had closed the door to Qiao An.

Huo Zhou pursed his lips. “She doesn’t love my Xiaoran enough. If she did, would she care about these small matters? My Xiaoran has waited for her for so many years. She can also wait for Xiaoran. Lu Mo won’t live for long. Xiaoran and Lu Mo being together is just Lu Mo’s dream.”

Xiao Yue said, “Lu Mo won’t die.”

“And what does that mean?”

Xiao Yue told them about Qiao An’s investigation of Lu Mo. “You can investigate all the medical staff who treated Lu Mo. Someone will tell you the truth.”

Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou looked at each other.

Only then did Huo Xiaoran assign the task of investigating Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo to Huo Zhou. Huo Zhou was worried that he had no clue, but now, Xiao Yue pointed out the direction for him.

“Xiaoran, Qiao An suspects that Lu Mo is pretending to be sick. Do you think there’s a need to investigate this?”

Huo Xiaoran fell into deep thought. In the end, he said faintly, “I’m a doctor. Every time she has an attack, her clinical performance is real. However, her blood test results show that her condition isn’t very serious. From a medical point of view, her situation is very special. However, any illness is complicated and unpredictable.”

Huo Zhou concluded, “So Qiao An suspected that she was pretending to be sick based on the examination report and her symptoms.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Maybe, maybe not.”

“Isn’t that the same as not saying anything?”

Xiao Yue leaned on the table again and said sleepily, “No way.”

Huo Zhou asked excitedly, “Then how did she know that Lu Mo was pretending to be sick?”

Xiao Yue’s voice became weaker and weaker. “The IQ of you two men combined is not even half of Sister Qiao An’s. Investigate it yourself.”

“Hey, you…” Huo Zhou was so angry that he was going to vomit blood.

He was motivated to prove that his IQ was no lower than Qiao An’s.

“Xiaoran, you should be more familiar with the medical staff who treat Lu Mo. Who do you think is easier to interrogate?”

Huo Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “The blood chemist at Jinghang Hospital is our junior. He just entered Jinghang Hospital not long ago. He’s the most suitable candidate.”

“I got it.”

The next day.

Xiao Yue woke up and realized that she was sleeping on Huo Zhou’s sofa. She pounded her dizzy head and got up.

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran’s handsome faces approached her at the same time.

“Yueyue, let’s talk,” Huo Zhou said.

Xiao Yue recalled how she was drunk last night. Those images flashed vaguely in her mind.

Realizing that she had been tricked, she placed her hands on her hips and glared at the two demon kings.

“You’re too much. You actually forced me to drink and got information from me. If you do this, won’t you make me break my promise to Sister Qiao An? How can I raise my head in front of her in the future?”
