The hotel was quiet late at night. There were only the occasional waves, mixed with a gust of moisture, that blew into the room. This was because the room that Lin Wanli had chosen was on the sea level. She rarely had the opportunity to be so close to nature.

The two of them took a shower and came out. Huo Jiuxiao received a message from Huo Qingxiao. Tomorrow’s gift-giving event was the highlight of the day. Every young master and young miss was trying their best to win Elder Xu’s favor. Even Huo Shengyuan had put in a lot of effort for this matter, so he couldn’t leave empty-handed and let others see him as a joke.

“I didn’t prepare anything,” Huo Jiuxiao replied deliberately.

“You’d better not interfere. I’ll expose you on the spot.”

Huo Qingxiao didn’t really believe it. Although he knew that he wouldn’t get anything out of her, he couldn’t help but worry. After all, Huo Shengyuan had spent several birthdays with Xu Chonglou and knew his personality and preferences very well. On the other hand, this was the first time Huo Jiuxiao had met him. It was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage in this matter.

However, since Huo Jiuxiao had said so, he had no choice but to improvise tomorrow.

Lin Wanli came out of the shower and walked to Huo Jiuxiao’s side. When she leaned on his shoulder, she saw the contents of his phone and thought to herself, This old man is really worried.

[Forget about Dad. I’m also very curious. What exactly did you prepare for Elder

Lin Wanli hugged Huo Jiuxiao’s arm and asked in her heart.

“Do you still remember that I went to Diheng that night when we sent Miss Xu to Jinchuan?”

[You said you were going to do something.] Lin Wanli looked up at Huo Jiuxiao and thought to herself.

“Yes, let Di Heng’s people help me find a dead person. Time is tight, but fortunately, Di Heng’s people didn’t disappoint me.”

[Send a dead person away?] Lin Wanli was puzzled.

‘You’ll know tomorrow.” As he spoke, Huo Jiuxiao pulled up Lin Wanli’s nightgown on the right and then hugged her to the bed to rest.

Even though Lin Wanli was curious, she did not get to the bottom of it because that would be enough of a surprise.

There would be even more people at the event tomorrow, and they would all be from famous families. Huo Shengyuan and the other two would probably make a big fuss about Master Xiao’s hearing or her identity. Even though Master Xiao didn’t care, every time those pieces of trash from the Huo family called him deaf, she couldn’t help but feel angry. This was because they were the ones who caused this outcome. However, these few people still dared to mention Master Xiao’s scar?

If Huo Shengyuan used this incident to mock Master Xiao again tomorrow, she would definitely let him know what it meant to be humiliated and regretful. An illegitimate child?

As Lin Wanli was thinking about it in a daze, she suddenly heard a chuckle from above. Lin Wanli looked up in confusion. Then, she heard Master Xiao say from above her head, “It’s alright. Go to sleep.”

“Woo…”

His little sweet wife was still so protective of him.

It was late at night in the Xu family’s house. There were no more guests at this time. Only the servants who were preparing the birthday banquet were still busy. However, two sneaky people avoided everyone in a corner of the corridor and hid in the bamboo forest to discuss.

“This will be the way to spread the news at tomorrow’s birthday banquet. We must let the guests who come to celebrate hear the news. We must let everyone know that the eldest young master of the Huo family is deaf and married a poor wife. Moreover, this wife even destroyed her family and is a deranged lunatic. Young Master Huo, on the other hand, likes to throw people into the sewers. Many lives were ended in his hands.”

As one of them spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to the person opposite him. There was no doubt about what was inside.

However, perhaps the two of them were too loud in their discussion, which disturbed Xu Jingzhi, who was upset. He didn’t say anything. He just found a place behind the bamboo forest, watched the scene, and then took out his phone to take a photo of the transaction.

This was the Xu family, but Huo Shengyuan had mistaken it for the Huo family.

She was a servant of the Xu family, but Huo Shengyuan treated her as his own servant.

Was power so tempting? To be able to make a person crazy to such an extent that he did not hesitate to splash such dirty water on his own brother. Could it be that this would make him appear especially noble and outstanding? Xu Jingzhi did not understand.

Of course, Xu Jingzhi believed that it was already very light of him to slander Huo Jiuxiao. After all, Huo Zizhen had said that Huo Shengyuan had tried to make a move on Huo Jiuxiao time and time again. If there was a chance, Xu Jingzhi thought that he would not hesitate for even a second and would send Huo Jiuxiao to his death.

He really had no bottom line.

He originally felt that the room was too stuffy and wanted to come here to get some fresh air. He did not expect…

Xu Jingzhi took a deep breath. He felt that human nature really couldn’t withstand a close examination. A person who looked so upright and upright was actually a pile of mud behind his back.

The next day, the Xu family’s house was bustling with activity since early morning.

Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao rushed back from the hotel to accompany the elders for breakfast. However, just as the two of them walked through the corridor, the gardener who was trimming the flowers at the side of the corridor started to secretly discuss.

“I didn’t expect the eldest young master of the Huo family to be deaf. Tsk tsk, I really can’t tell. Isn’t that like trash?”

“Isn’t that so? No wonder he’s not very favored in the Huo family.” “I can’t help it. Who would have high hopes for a cripple?”

“Talking about other people’s misfortunes will make your already ordinary faces look even uglier. What do you think?”

At this moment, a clear male voice rang out from behind them. It was Xu Jingzhi.

The two gardeners immediately blushed and apologized profusely.

“After you’re done with this, go and find the butler to resign. Why do so many people in the Xu family like to gossip when I’m not around?”

“Young Master, we don’t dare to do it anymore. Please don’t fire us. We really don’t dare to do it anymore…”

However, Xu Jingzhi ignored the two of them and walked away. Even though he had mentally prepared himself last night, hearing those filthy words with his own ears still made him feel uncomfortable. How could the human heart be so bad? What did it have to do with them, whether they were deaf or not?

Not far ahead, Huo Jiuxiao glanced behind him before he entered the restaurant. Of course, he knew exactly what happened behind him.

Behind him was Huo Shengyuan, who saw Xu Jingzhi walking out and wanted to greet him. He didn’t expect that Xu Jingzhi, whom he had poured his heart out to, would defend Huo Jiuxiao at this time. Huo Shengyuan’s expression changed, and he felt humiliated and betrayed, all because Xu Jingzhi had protected Huo Jiuxiao. He didn’t even think that this might be because Xu Jingzhi hated the servants gossiping behind his back.

At this moment, Huo Shengyuan felt very lonely. His wife did not understand. His friends had changed sides, and his father…He had no father..
