Ren Qingshan chuckled and said, "Then you feel free to do whatever you want, I have something to do over there."
"good."
Huo Xu toasted to Ren Qingshan.
To Ren Xiyuan's birthday party today, the Ren family invited many prominent figures in the upper class.
Huo Xu stood in the banquet hall for a short while, and many people came over to greet him, most of whom were business acquaintances.
Yu Ruanruan planned to go aside and not disturb their conversation, but Huo Xu grabbed her wrist, glanced at her with lowered eyes, "Follow me and recognize a few people."
Yu Ruanruan was stunned, thinking that now that she was opening a restaurant and preparing to start a business, she really needed connections.
Huo Xu took the initiative to introduce her. Of course she couldn't miss such a good thing.
Yu Ruanruan didn't hesitate at all, and followed Huo Xu to meet many people.
This sight attracted many people's greetings.
Yu Ruanruan was surrounded, but she didn't have much stage fright. Huo Xu wanted to give her a chance, so he always stood on the outside, holding a wine glass in his hand, watching her smile silently.
At this time, a man who looked like an attendant walked up to Huo Xu and said softly, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Ren, we, Mr. Ren, invite you to come and discuss something."
Huo Xu was startled, put the wine glass in his hand back on the tray, and glanced at the girl who was chatting in the crowd.
Although he was at Ren's house, he had personally introduced Ruanruan to these people.
Therefore, even if he is not present, she will not suffer any harsh treatment or make things difficult for her.
Huo Xu calmed down, did not disturb the girl, turned around and left with the attendant.
The Ren family's manor was very large, with several villas. The waiter led Huo Xu to a remote building. The place was already deserted and there was no one in the living room.
Huo Xu realized something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Where is Uncle Ren?"
"Mr. Ren is waiting for you in the study upstairs."
A ridiculous thought flashed through Huo Xu's mind. Uncle Ren suddenly asked him to come here in such a mysterious manner and said he had something to discuss. Could it be related to Tangtang?
This thought flashed across his mind, and he couldn't help suppressing his mood. He followed the attendant upstairs with a sullen face and said nothing.
Finally, he stopped at the door of a study room.
"Mr. Ren is inside, please come in."
At the invitation of the attendant, Huo Xu pushed open the door and entered, with incense burning in the room.
The person standing in front of the window with his back to him was not Ren Qingshan, but his younger brother Ren Yunshan.
"Mr. Huo, you're finally here." Ren Yunshan turned around and immediately showed a fawning smile.
The tight string in Huo Xu's heart relaxed instantly. He did not expect that Mr. Ren in the attendant's mouth was not referring to Uncle Ren, but Ren Yunshan.
I originally thought that Uncle Ren came to him to talk about Tangtang...
Huo Xu looked gloomy and said with a sullen expression, "What? Are you looking for something from me?"
"Mr. Huo, I acted recklessly a few days ago and bumped into Mr. Huo. I specially asked Mr. Huo to come here today because I wanted to apologize to Mr. Huo in person."
"Apologise?" Huo Xu sneered, "You apologized to me, but you used your eldest brother's name to trick me into coming here. Is this how you apologize?"
"Hey, Mr. Huo, don't be angry. It's because I don't understand the rules. I'll offer you a glass of wine."
Ren Yunshan turned around, poured two glasses of red wine, then took out the capsule he had prepared in advance and squeezed a drop into one of the glasses.
Then he handed the red wine to Huo Xu, "Mr. Huo, please."
"哐——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wine glass in his hand was suddenly thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces, with red wine splashing everywhere.
The smile on Ren Yunshan's face persisted.
Huo Xu raised his eyebrows, with a cool and indifferent look in his eyes, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped, so I don't have to drink the wine. For Uncle Ren's sake, I won't hold you accountable for your previous offense, but if you want to play other tricks,
Tricks, that’s a different story.”
Ren Yunshan looked at the red wine spilled by Huo Xu and was dumbfounded.
Oops, this guy didn't fall for it!
"Mr. Huo, what other tricks can I play? My elder brother was already angry about what happened last time. This time, I really sincerely want to apologize to you in person."
Naturally, Huo Xu would not be so stupid as to not notice Ren Yunshan's tricks.
If you sincerely apologize, why can't you apologize in public?
It was not a trick to trick him into coming to this remote place in the name of Uncle Ren.
Thinking of this, Huo Xu's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Ruan Ruan whom he had left in the banquet hall, he was a little worried that the girl would be bullied if he was not there.
Therefore, he had no intention of continuing to quarrel with Ren Yunshan, so he turned around and raised his feet to walk out.
Seeing this, Ren Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, "Mr. Huo...Mr. Huo, please don't leave in a hurry..."
Huo Xu became impatient and said, "Let go!"
Suddenly, he felt dizzy, and a sudden feeling of weakness came over his limbs. He shook his head, trying to stay awake, but the feeling of weakness was even worse.
Along with it, there was an indescribable heat.
"Mr. Huo, what's wrong with you?"
Ren Yunshan noticed his abnormality and stepped forward to ask tentatively.
However, Huo Xu couldn't stand upright and stumbled forward, touching the ground with one knee and supporting the wall with one hand to barely support his body.
Everything around him was spinning, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
But he knew clearly that it must be Ren Yunshan who was causing trouble.
But he didn't drink the red wine. Could it be... the wine he drank at the banquet just now? Or... the effect of this aromatherapy?
"what did you do to me?"
Huo Xu glanced at Ren Yunshan with his sharp eyes, his eyes slightly bloodshot due to the force.
Ren Yunshan had never seen such a terrifying look in his eyes. He was so frightened that he took a step back, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Huo, I didn't do anything to you. Have you had a bad stomach? You can rest here for a while.
I...I'll go find a doctor for you right away."
With that said, Ren Yunshan hurriedly ran out of the study.
"Click——"
After the door closed, Huo Xu heard the sound of the door being locked.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he wanted to smash the door and break out.
Damn it, I was actually calculated!
A hot feeling swept through his mind, while his whole body felt limp and weak. He realized that he might have been drugged with more than one kind of drug.
Oh, what a big gesture.
In order to get him to fall victim to the attack, it looked like they had used all kinds of tricks.
