909 Hu Guo’s Quibbling

Old Master Hu had lived for decades and was well aware of these little schemes. However, for the sake of his family, he had to give her a way out.

“Yes, Hu Guo told me about it yesterday. I was the one who asked her to change it, afraid that it would affect her mood for the wedding today.”

“But why would there be a man in Hu Guo’s room? Did he sneak in? This makes me suspicious of the security measures of your hotel.”

Zhou Lin immediately knew what Yun Xi was thinking. He looked straight into the servant’s eyes with a serious aura, as if he was interrogating a terrorist. The waiter’s face was pale and he stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Hu Guo was also very worried. She was afraid that she would be exposed, but she was also afraid that the servant would extract more information. After all, there would always be traces of what she had done.

“It’s strange.” Hu Guo felt that if she did not change the topic now, the whole thing would be exposed. “My cousin is too busy today, so I wanted to entertain Yun Xi on her behalf. Who knew that after drinking with Yun Xi, I would feel hot all over? I was fine when I drank previously, but something happened after drinking with her. She must have drugged the wine.”

The situation was reversed once again. The people present did not know which side to believe. For a moment, no one spoke. The room was very quiet, but everyone’s eyes were on Yun Xi.

Yun Xi did not expect Hu Guo to push the blame on her at this time. Yun Xi felt that Hu Guo was not very smart. After all, it was Hu Guo who had come to her with wine and so many people had seen it. Yun Xi was confident that her action of drugging the wine would not be seen and there wouldn’t be any evidence.

“Did you forget? You were the one who brought me the gla.s.s of wine, and the gla.s.s was in your hand the whole time. I didn’t have the chance to drug it!”

Yun Xi had antic.i.p.ated that Hu Guo would turn around and say that she had drugged her, so Yun Xi had deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the people around her. She wanted them to hear that it was Hu Guo who had brought the wine to propose a toast to her. Since everyone had seen it, she could not deny it.

“Now that you mention it, I remember. I was nearby at the time, and Hu Guo was very enthusiastic.”

“I saw it too. They’ve been talking face-to-face the whole time!”

There were people outside the crowd who could testify for Yun Xi. Yun Xi was not worried that there would be no one to testify if the rooms were all filled with Hu family members. There were a few people nearby at the banquet, and she remembered their ident.i.ties.

“Yes, we were able to come in time because Yun Xi noticed that something was wrong and informed us. Otherwise, it would have been too late by the time we realized that something was wrong. If she had drugged you, why would she have told us?”

Hu Qian also spoke up for Yun Xi.

Hu Guo saw that her cousin was not helping her and was speaking up for an outsider like Yun Xi. She looked at Hu Qian in shock, as if some feelings in her heart were gradually collapsing.

“That’s right. Maybe someone brought the wine and wanted to frame others. Maybe she drank it wrong because he’s not in the right mind!”

One of the girls said sarcastically. She had long since disliked Hu Guo’s behavior. She had even fought with her in the courtyard. The adults knew that the two of them were like fire and water, so they rarely let them meet.

Yun Xi took note of her. This was the youngest daughter of the Hu family, Hu Ning. Although she was young, it was said that she had developed very well in the army with her own efforts. She was an honest person and had even signed up to be admitted into Zhou Lin’s special forces this year.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi could not help but give Hu Ning a thumbs up in her heart. She had said something that was inconvenient for her to say. She was definitely going to be friends with this person in the future!

“I didn’t!” Hu Guo was still a young girl. After being exposed, she could not hold it in and argued with Hu Ning.

In the end, Old Master Hu could not stand it anymore. He knew that Hu Guo had brought this upon herself. “Alright, stop arguing. I believe that Miss Yun Xi isn’t that kind of person. We’ll stop here today and wait for the results of the police investigation.”

Considering the relations.h.i.+p between Jing Yu and Hu Qian, Yun Xi did not intend to pursue the matter further. She knew that the Hu family would probably push all the blame on that man.

Although Hu Guo was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey Old Master Hu. She was temporarily suspended and placed under house arrest at home. She should be able to calm down for a while.

Yun Xi felt that there were too many things to do recently. If it was not for Zhou Lin’s company, she would almost be suffocated by the pressure. It seemed that she had to find something that could let her relax.

At the thought of this, Yun Xi suddenly had a good idea!
