"Xiaoxiao, what did you see just now?"

Nan Weiwei's tone was filled with doubts and concerns, and a searching light shone in the depths of her eyes.

Xu Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly, as if hesitant, "Weiwei, I seem...to see brother Haojie."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until the last few words were barely audible.

"Stab-" The sharp sound of brakes broke the surrounding tranquility.

Nan Weiwei suddenly stopped the car, turned around in shock, and stared at Xu Xiaoxiao, "What did you say? Did you see Xu Haojie? This...how is this possible? Isn't he already, not alive anymore?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was startled by Nan Weiwei's reaction. She stammered: "I...I don't know, but brother Ji Feng told me that brother Haojie is not dead. He...he is still a bad guy. I'm not sure either." , but the back view is really similar. Maybe it’s because I was dazzled.”

Her eyes were full of confusion and confusion.

Nan Wei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Oh, Xiaoxiao, what have you encountered? You thought you finally met someone who really cares about you, but you never thought...it would be Xu Haojie."

She frowned and fell into deep thought, "Xu Haojie was once my father's bodyguard. Why did he join forces with Mr. Fu? Could it be that he was also involved in the princess's rebellion?"

Xu Xiaoxiao felt her headache getting worse. She covered her forehead and closed her eyes in pain.

Nan Weiwei saw this and quickly comforted her: "Forget it, Xiaoxiao, don't think so much now. You are a pregnant woman, and your body is the most important thing. Let Fu Yanchen find out these things. He will give us an answer." "

She gently patted the back of Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, her eyes full of worry and comfort.

The surrounding environment seemed to feel this heaviness. The wind blew gently and the leaves rustled, as if telling unknown secrets.

The sky in the distance was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, which seemed to indicate the coming storm.

In the splendid hotel, Xu Haojie's figure seemed a bit awkward.

He was wearing black pleated overalls. The style was simple and old-fashioned, which was in stark contrast to the modern environment around him, as abrupt as an incongruous note in a harmonious melody.

Xu Haojie was alone in the spacious and bright lobby, pacing back and forth, his steps slow and heavy, revealing the confusion deep in his heart; his eyes also lost their former glory, mixed with a hint of determination.

His eyes wandered aimlessly in the lobby, as if he wanted to find some familiar feelings or answers in this strange place, but in the end he was in vain.

Just when he was about to give up, suddenly, as if attracted by a magnet, his eyes were firmly fixed on a photo in the corner of the lobby.

It was a photo of He Zijun and Lu Zhengguo. The photo that had witnessed their good times was now abandoned, lying alone on the cold ground, as if mercilessly mocking the broken relationship between the two.

A trace of anger and sadness flashed in Xu Haojie's eyes. He slowly bent down and picked up the photo.

"Lu Zhengguo, you traitor, I will not let you go."

Xu Haojie's palms clenched unconsciously, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

He took a deep breath and walked deeper into the hotel.

His footsteps echoed in the empty lobby, seeming a little lonely and determined.

When he stepped onto the banquet hall on the second floor, the scene before him made him feel desolate.

The originally luxuriously decorated banquet hall was now empty, and all the guests had dispersed.

Only the gorgeous decorations and the deserted air were left, which seemed to tell the ending of this banquet.

Xu Haojie looked around, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He knew that this banquet was originally a festive occasion for the marriage between the Lu family and the He family, but now it has become a joke in the imperial capital.

He imagined the guests laughing and whispering, and couldn't help but feel a little sad for Lu Zhengguo and He Zijun.

"He Zijun, why are you so stupid? You fell in love with a scum like Lu Zhengguo."

He stood there, staring at the empty banquet hall, as if he could see a scene full of guests and laughing.

However, that was just a thing of the past.

Now, I stand there silently, feeling the desolation and loneliness after this banquet.

Xu Haojie stood at the door, his face as calm as water, but his eyes were shining with sharp light.

He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to the whispers in the corner.

The waiters gathered together, and although their voices were low, it was difficult to escape Xu Haojie's keen hearing.

"Hey, tell me, is that child really the illegitimate son of the eldest young master of the Lu family?"

A waiter lowered his voice and said mysteriously to the person next to him.

"It must be. You look so similar, so it must be. And didn't you see the expressions on the Lu family's faces? Lu Zhengguo clicked his tongue. That was such a cruel move that he almost killed the child. Fortunately, his mother was still alive. Calm."

Another waiter said quickly, his tone full of gossipy excitement.

"His mother is not a good bird either. Look, three years ago, the family set up a girl. It is said that it was just to get the girl's boyfriend. Mr. Fu, too, actually sent his girlfriend to Bai Yueguang. Prison, don’t hurt me if you don’t love me.”

"Digging holes, you ruthless man."

Xu Haojie was originally listening to their gossip, but his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He looked away, flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Hey... Guess, Mr. Fu is so bored that he found someone to send the child here? It seems that he deliberately came to ruin the engagement between the Lu family and the He family..."

These words were like pebbles thrown into the lake, causing ripples and causing people around to whisper and whisper.

At this moment, another voice joined the discussion: "I see, this matter is definitely not simple! Maybe there is someone behind it!"

"Instigation? Isn't it the person brought by Mr. Fu?"

This voice carried a sense of mystery, making the already lively scene even more confusing.

Everyone looked at each other, thinking secretly in their hearts.

Some people speculated that the rivals might be jealous of the marriage between the Lu family and the He family, so they came up with such means to sabotage it; it would be difficult for them to step forward and let Fu Yanchen step in.

But who has such a big reputation to command Fu Yanchen?

Others thought that it might be someone who had a crush on the young master of the Lu family or the young lady of the He family, and wanted to take this opportunity to break them up. Fu Yanchen just went along with the flow in order to avenge Xu Xiaoxiao.

Various speculations and rumors filled the entire occasion, making the atmosphere increasingly tense and strange.

However, no one can know what the truth is.

This question made everyone present think deeply, and they all speculated on the identity and motives of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Xu Haojie listened quietly to the discussions around him, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.

He couldn't help but begin to imagine that if this child was really the illegitimate son of the eldest young master of the Lu family, then the engagement ceremony would probably become very complicated and tricky.

What made him even more curious was why Fu Yanchen chose to drop such a bombshell on such an occasion? Really for Xu Xiaoxiao?

He didn't believe how cruel Fu Yanchen was to Xu Xiaoxiao before. He knew very well how that kind of man could do such a thing for Xu Xiaoxiao.

As his thoughts spread, Xu Haojie felt as if he was in a complicated and confusing plot.

This wonderful feeling not only made him excited, but also made him wary - after all, in this game of intertwined power and interests, a little carelessness may lead to disaster.

"Who knows? How can we little people know this kind of thing?"

The original waiter sighed, with a sense of helplessness and curiosity in his voice.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Haojie's mouth. He turned around slowly and looked deeply at the corner.

"Excuse me....."
