My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 865 Where Did He Go
Zhao Yaru didn't dare to think about it.
She just walked forward and asked, "Mr. Zhong, are you feeling unwell? Is there anything you should avoid when drinking the hangover soup?"
Zhong Lingxiao rubbed his sore temples and shook his head: "There's nothing to avoid, just cook anything. Are the alcohol content of the wine and drinks you provide for the engagement banquet so high?"
"They are mostly low-alcohol, but some guests prefer high-alcohol drinks, so we have prepared some of those as well."
Zhao Yaru told the truth and guessed that Zhong Lingxiao might have drunk some strong alcohol.
Zhong Lingxiao felt a little nauseous. He looked around but didn't see Zhong Yi, so he asked, "Where is Zhong Yi?"
"My future brother and sister-in-law got my clothes dirty earlier, so I went back to my room to change."
"He didn't leave?"
"I didn't see him leave the cruise ship." Zhao Yaru was a little confused, "What happened?"
Zhong Lingxiao did not completely believe what Zhao Yaru said, but sent people to check again.
Zhao Yaru seemed to be hesitant to speak, but she finally asked, "Mr. Zhong, have you been staying in A Zheng's lounge? Did he come to see you during the trip?"
"I don't have any recollection, but I was always in his room. Is there something wrong? Why isn't he entertaining guests in the banquet hall?"
Zhao Yaru's smile was a little awkward. "Oh, he might be a little tired. Please sit in the banquet hall for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the hangover soup."
"No, I'll just go back to my room. Madam Pei, please send the hangover soup to my room. If you meet Pei Zheng, please ask him to come to my room. I have something to discuss with him."
"Master Zhong!"
Zhao Yaru stopped him and said, "It would be more convenient for you to wait downstairs."
She had some unrealistic guesses in her mind.
No matter who the man in Zhong Lingxiao's room is, he would be unhappy if he knew that there were men and women having sex in his lounge.
She had a worst-case scenario in mind.
This must never happen!
Zhong Lingxiao was not a fool, he could see that Zhao Yaru was deliberately blocking him from returning to his room. So he stopped and looked at her leisurely.
Zhao Yaru felt guilty and embarrassed.
"Mrs. Pei, there are so many people and it's so noisy in the banquet hall that I'm getting a headache. Now I just want to go back to the lounge and lie down, and wait until the alcohol has completely worn off before going back to the old house. Please send the sobering soup to my room." His curiosity was aroused.
Zhong Lingxiao tried to find out what the Pei couple were hiding from him, so he continued to test them.
Unexpectedly, after saying this, Zhao Yaru's expression became even stranger.
She didn't expect that Zhong Lingxiao insisted on returning to the room. If she went up now, who knew what kind of scene she would encounter.
Zhao Yaru's fingernails almost embedded into her palms, causing waves of pain.
How to stop Zhong Lingxiao?
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the side blocked by the spiral staircase.
"Isn't the Pei family's lounge prepared for guests to rest? Why did Madam Pei stop it?"
Zhao Yaru looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huo Xingzhou walking out holding Qiao Xi's hand.
Her heart skipped a beat. How much of this conversation had they heard?
Zhao Yaru quickly found an excuse: "I didn't stop him, but I wanted to give the young master of the Zhong family a better experience. Mr. Huo, please don't misunderstand my good intentions..."
The Huo family is very difficult to deal with.
She had to think of a way to smooth things over. She looked at Zhong Lingxiao's gradually cold eyes and knew that the Zhong and Huo families were not on good terms, so she said, "Is Mr. Huo trying to sow discord? The relationship between our Pei family and the Zhong family is not ordinary. What I said to Young Master Zhong has nothing to do with you."
When Zhong Lingxiao heard this, his attention was also diverted and he pointed the gun at Huo Xingzhou.
"I didn't expect that Ms. Huo would be so nosy. I heard that your sister almost drowned. How come you still have the leisure to chat with us here?"
"You..." Qiao Xi was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Huo Xingzhou.
He looked at Zhong Lingxiao and Zhao Yaru who was almost invisible and said, "I have to ask Madam Pei about my sister's falling into the water. How could a healthy person suddenly fall into the water? How come the surveillance on the deck suddenly broke down? Isn't this all too coincidental?"
Zhao Yaru turned her head away and said, "That means your sister is unlucky. Who can you blame? Our Pei family has already apologized. Please don't put all the responsibility on us, Mr. Huo."
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with strong emotions, which were suppressed deep in his mind. He changed the subject again.
"Why hasn't Master Zhong returned to the lounge yet? The smell of alcohol all over your body is making my wife stink. It's simply unbearable."
"you……"
Zhong Lingxiao snorted coldly, "I'll come back to settle the score with you after I change my clothes."
He also smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and became more and more disgusted, so he walked away.
Zhao Yaru was anxious: "Mr. Zhong, slow down. I..."
"Why does Madam Pei always stop Master Zhong from returning to his own lounge? Is there something shameful in there?" Huo Xingzhou raised his voice.
Many guests around heard it and looked at Zhao Yaru unconsciously, making her feel uncomfortable.
Qiao Xi echoed Huo Xingzhou: "Maybe there is a treasure hidden in Young Master Zhong's room. I'm very curious about what is hidden in there."
The guests became interested when they heard this and started to make a noise.
"Did the Pei family prepare another gift for Young Master Zhong? I wonder if we will be lucky enough to see it?"
"I am also very curious."
"How about going to see it together?"
When there were more people, they were no longer afraid of the power of the Zhong family and they all clamored to go to his lounge to take a look.
Zhao Yaru saw that most of the guests were attracted by their conversation and wanted to join in the fun, and beads of sweat almost appeared on her forehead.
Even his words were a little awkward: "What treasure is there... Mr. Huo misunderstood, our Pei family would not..."
Her mother-in-law, Madam Pei, even squeezed beside her and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Did you do something bad in private?"
Zhao Yaru felt wronged and blamed her mother-in-law who was only holding her back. She wished she could find someone to drag her away.
How could anyone be so disrespectful to his daughter-in-law?
"Mother-in-law, please don't make trouble. How could I do anything wrong? It's really not true."
"Zhao Yaru, where is our Ah Zheng? Did you order him to do something?"
Zhao Yaru really kept complaining.
She caught a glimpse of Mr. Huo's half-smiley eyes, and felt that he seemed to have guessed something. Perhaps the Huo family was involved.
"Yeah, where's Pei Zheng!"
At the entrance of the banquet hall, the handsome young man walked in slowly, attracting everyone's attention.
"As the host of the banquet, why hasn't Mr. Pei shown up for so long? Where did he go? Maybe he was murdered." Zhong Yi said in a sarcastic tone with a faint smile on his face.
