The three left the courtyard and boarded a manor sightseeing shuttle.
The driver was at the front.
Shi Qian sat in the middle while Jiang Ci and Huo Fei sat behind.
The sightseeing shuttle drove slowly in the manor.
Huo Fei pointed at a white building and said, âBy the way. A winery is over there. We can go there for wine tasting tonight. The home-brewed wine is especially fragrant and mellow. You must try it.â
âWine!â Shi Qian recalled her experience of being knocked out in one glass and how Shang Sizhan had told her several times from last night to this morning that she was not allowed to drink.
âForget about the wine. I donât drink.â
âSister Qian, you donât drink?â Huo Fei was puzzled.
She couldnât be so shallow.
But she thought about it carefully. She seemed to have never drunk before them.
Jiang Ci didnât allow her to drink before her coming-of-age ceremony. And they got together less often after the ceremony.
âYes, Iâm allergic to alcohol.â Shi Qian said seriously.
She couldnât say she had drunk.
âOh, I see.â After a pause, Huo Fei turned to Jiang Ci. âBrother Ci, do you want to drink?â
Jiang Ci leaned lazily against the back of the chair. âLetâs talk about it tonight.â
Shi Muxue felt tired from walking by the lake, so she said, âBrother Xuan, Iâm a little tired. Letâs go back.â
âAlright, Iâll send you back,â Su Jinxuan said gently.
âYes.â Shi Muxue turned around, and a white sightseeing shuttle attracted her gaze.
Shi Muxue was stunned as he saw the girl in the manor sightseeing shuttle!
âShi Qian!
âWhy is she in Huoâs manor?
âWhat was going on?â
Su Jinxuan saw Muxue didnât move and fixed her eyes on a white sightseeing shuttle. He asked, âXueâer, whatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing. I think I saw a classmate,â Shi Muxue replied.
âClassmate! Is she the girl with Young Master Huo on the manor sightseeing shuttle just now?â Su Jinxuan asked.
Shi Muxue turned to look at him in surprise. âWhat did you say? Who is the man in the car?â
âOne of them is the young master of the Huo family, Huo Fei. I donât know the other one either.â Su Jinxuan replied. He momentarily paused before he continued.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âThen are you familiar with that Young Master Huo?â Shi Muxue asked.
âThe Su family is only close to the third branch of the Huo family. They donât have any contact with the direct descendants.â Su Jinxuan shook his head.
Huo Feiâs father was the head of the Huo family, so his status was higher. He could not get in touch with a family like the Su family.
âOh, I see.â Shi Muxue said softly.
âWhatâs your classmateâs name?â Su Jinxuan asked again. âI know the people from the few families the Huo family invited this time, but this girl doesnât seem to be from any of them.â
Shi Muxue did not want to say Shi Qianâs name, so she said, âMaybe I was wrong. She couldnât be here.â
âHowever, itâs also possible that the manor hired service staff,â Su Jinxuan said.
âThere will be a lot of guests at the banquet tomorrow. I heard that the Huo family hired a group of waiters and waitresses from outside.â
âMaybe. Alright, letâs not talk about this anymore. Brother Xuan, letâs go back.â
Shi Muxueâs mind was in a mess.
During this time, Shi Qian had constantly given her âsurprisesâ.
The Sheng familyâs young master in school, the CEO of Chuangyue, Xu Muchen, and now the Huo familyâs young master.
She subconsciously clenched her fists.
âShi Qian couldnât be here to work. Her motive wasnât simple if she was here to work.
âPerhaps, she wanted to get to know more rich people this way.
âThis Young Master Huo might be someone she had just met.â
A cold glint flashed across Shi Muxueâs eyes.
She had to do something as soon as possible. She could not let Shi Qian continue being so smug..
