Chapter 702 Did she...forgot?

After Jiang Weiyang made a fool of himself, it was like a signal that made this banquet completely unstable.

When Murong Qiao went back to look for Huo Yichen, he saw a waiter standing next to him. He seemed to be holding a package. Looking at the package from a distance, one could feel the magnificence of it.

"Achen?" Murong Qiao walked over and called him.

Huo Yichen turned around and saw Murong Qiao coming. He instinctively stretched out his hand to stop her shoulder, then frowned at the waiter's package and opened his mouth to explain.

"I don't know who brought it. It just says gift and there's no signature on it." He stared at the package and said.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this thing, but the package said it was for Huo Yichen, and he also wished him a happy birthday today.

The beautiful squiggles are paired with white ribbons, and the dark blue packaging has a slight sparkle. It’s hard to imagine that this was in the hands of an aristocrat.

"How about taking it apart and taking a look?" Murong Qiao suggested. "Maybe it's just carelessness. Let's take a look at the gift. It should be a clue to find the person."

Gifts are always given on birthdays, and maybe some careless person forgot to sign them.

Seeing this, Huo Yichen signaled the waiter to open the package.

But after the gorgeous and exquisite wrapping paper was opened from the outside, there was something else very unexpected and disgusting inside.

The corpse of a bat that seemed to have died not long ago was lying quietly in the box.

"This!" The waiter was startled, but seeing that Huo Yichen was standing in front of him, he still suppressed his nausea and threw the box out without letting go.

Murong Qiao looked around and saw only a blur of black and bat shapes. Before he could even take a closer look, his eyes were completely blocked by a palm.

"Don't look." Huo Yichen's calm voice came to her ears.

But after telling Murong Qiao not to look, Huo Yichen's hand was finally pulled off by Murong Qiao himself, and then she could see clearly what the bat looked like.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but when he saw the bat, even though it was not close, Murong Qiao always felt that there was a smell floating towards him.

In addition to the corpse of a recently dead bat, there is also a pattern of a human head in the box, 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 people around him who were gradually coming closer, seemingly watching the excitement.

From the waiter's exclamation just now, other guests noticed the strange situation on Huo Yichen's side, not to mention that the two focal points of the crowd, Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao, were 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 personification of the dead and will come back to exact revenge on those he hates."

This was the first time Murong Qiao heard it, and he raised his eyebrows to express surprise. "Is there still such a thing?"

"It's rare, but -" Huo Yichen pursed his lips, as if thinking. "After I returned to the Huo family, one of the many courses I took was related to this knowledge."

Just when Huo Hong planned to train him to be his successor, Huo Yichen studied hard every day during that time, and the knowledge was ingrained in his mind.

revenge?

Murong Qiao looked at the "gift" that didn't seem to be called a gift, and thought for a moment, if he had received such a gift on his birthday -

It cannot be said that it is a little unlucky, but it is very unlucky.

No one with a good brain would just come up with a gift like this.

"You take it down first." Huo Yichen told the waiter.

There were too many suspects for this gift, and Huo Yichen had no intention of doing these tasks for a while. The first task now was 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 the strange looks from the people around him, Huo Yichen took a sip of the red wine in his hand very calmly, without saying a word from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened just now.

No one opened their mouth to discuss this, after all, this was still the Huo family.

But when the banquet was about to end, everyone was preparing to go home one after another. Once they got outside and into their cars, they finally couldn't help but chat.

"Who do you think can give Huo Yichen such great honor on this day?"

"If you ask me, he has provoked countless people in Huo's during this period. It would be too difficult to get to the bottom of it."

"I don't want to give it away at any time, but at this time, I always feel uneasy 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 leaving.

People like gossip, especially these so-called upper-class families, who care about every news about big shots.

Huo Yichen, as today's master, had such an incident, which undoubtedly offended everyone's dignity.

It didn't even take one night. Just after people walked out of the banquet, many people who had not come to Huo's house knew the news.

After the banquet was over, Murong Qiao first sent his brothers away, then took off his complicated and gorgeous dress, and then went to find Huo Yichen.

When she went there, the other party was standing at the door, still wearing the suit.

Murong Qiao looked at him from behind, watching him stare intently at the cars leaving one after another, seemingly thoughtful. Finally, he gently walked around behind him and tapped Huo Yichen's shoulder as a gesture. remind.

"Still thinking about what happened just now?" She hooked Huo Yichen's arm.

Huo Yichen paused for a moment, "That's right."

It's just that he hasn't come up with any results yet.

What Huo Yichen was thinking more about just now was actually about Murong Qiao and his birthday.

Since Murong Qiao came to the banquet, he never mentioned giving gifts.

Yes...did you forget?

"Don't think about what's there and what's not. Let's go out and relax? The party last night made me feel like my bones were about to fall apart."

Murong Qiao made a natural suggestion, pretending that she didn't see the disappointment on Huo Yichen's face.

How could Huo Yichen not agree to her? Even though it was already one o'clock in the morning, he still agreed to Murong Qiao's decision to go out.

"Then I'll go change my clothes."

Suits are not suitable for going out.

Seeing Murong Qiao wearing a casual denim jacket with a snow-white and beautiful short skirt underneath, it didn't take long for Huo Yichen to change into a set of clothes that matched Murong Qiao.

The two people who had taken off their formal attire were both wearing cowboy style. When they stood together, they looked at each other at a glance. They even looked like they were lovers back in college.

"I won't bother the birthday girl to drive today -" Murong Qiao took out his spare car key from his pocket and shook it in his hand.

This time she drove her own car, so Murong Qiao walked over first, and then followed Huo Yichen's usual way of opening the car door for him and made the same move.

Huo Yichen felt dumbfounded when he saw her being so funny, but he still obeyed Murong Qiao's arrangement and got into the passenger seat.
