Chapter 13: Something’s Not Right

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He Song and Bi Xinduo left with He Youyou. The He family’s farce had come to an end. Chen Wei’er did not intend to make He Yeli apologize because she knew that Luo Qionglan would never make He Yeli bow her head. Although most of the He group was in He Xun’s hands with He Zui’s help, there were still a few major shareholders who were He Qiu Shan’s men. If they made a big fuss now, it would not do He Xun any good.

Chen Wei’er knew when to stop. “Today is a happy day. The guests are still waiting to eat the cake. Father, Aunt Luo, let’s cut the cake.”

He Qiu Shan squinted his eyes as he looked at Chen Wei’er, sighing at how fast this woman’s attitude changed. He let her say whatever she wanted to say. He suppressed his anger and coldly ordered the butler, “Let’s start.”

The butler’s head was almost at his feet. “Yes.”

Thus, in an instant, the atmosphere in the hall returned to the lively birthday banquet, and everyone put on a show of harmony again.

He Qiu Shan stood at the head of the table and spoke while Luo Qionglan stood at the side, wiping away her tears and smiling. She was sitting firmly in her position as the matriarch of the He family!

Chen Wei’er didn’t have much of an appetite during this meal. During this time, He Zui looked at her inquisitively. She also knew that, but she didn’t care. Her mind was filled with He Xun’s words. “Stay away from me.”

He Xun seemed to hate her a lot, but there was something that couldn’t be explained. Chen Wei’er felt that something was wrong and kept thinking about it. When she finally reacted, she suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen Luo Xinrui in a long time! In that situation just now, Luo Xinrui didn’t come out to add oil to the fire. She didn’t even attend the banquet! Today was He Qiu Shan’s birthday, it was impossible for Luo Xinrui to not show up.

This was distinctly not right! According to Luo Xinrui’s personality, something was wrong. Also, He Xun had disappeared! At this time, He Yeli suddenly patted her from behind.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Wei’er sized her up.

He Yeli smiled at her. “Third Sister-in-law, I was wrong just now. I’m here to apologize to you!”

Chen Wei’er took a few steps back. “Are you crazy?”

“You…” He Yeli continued to smile stiffly, then stepped forward and grabbed Chen Wei’er’s hand. “I should apologize if I did something wrong. Third Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. Let’s have a good chat.”

Chen Wei’er refused. “I have something to talk to your brother about. I’ll be leaving first.”

“I saw Third Brother. Dad’s looking for him to talk about his recent investment. I wanted to share with you the new bag I bought recently. It’s very beautiful and is a limited edition!” He Yeli wouldn’t let her go.

This made Chen Wei’er feel even more suspicious. However, in the He family, she probably wouldn’t dare to do anything at this time. “Okay, I’ll just watch from the corridor. I won’t enter your room.” She wanted to see what He Yeli was up to.

He Yeli thought for a moment. “That works too.” After saying that, he brought Chen Wei’er to the third floor.

Chen Wei’er stood at the door of He Yeli’s room, watching her holding a treasure in front of her.

Chen Wei’er didn’t have any reaction. On one hand, she didn’t like these things. On the other hand, it was because of Nie Suijing. At that time, their lives were already in deep water, so who would have the time to care about these things? It was just that Chen Wei’er didn’t expect that when she truly admired it up close, her heart would still be a little itchy. Perhaps, this was the nature of women.

He Yeli was even more excited when she saw that Chen Wei’er was interested. ‘Sister Xinrui, I’ve already taken out my most precious bag and showed it to Chen Wei’er. You have to work hard!’

On the other side…

After sending the guests off, He Xun felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his temples and returned to his room. In fact, it was not a room, but a guest room reserved for him. He looked at Chen Wei’er’s cream-stained clothes on the hanger and smiled helplessly. However, when he thought of Chen Wei’er’s actions today, he felt that something was wrong.

In the past, Chen Wei’er didn’t even look at him. Every time she came to the He family, she wanted to hide. But this time, not only did she go out to socialize, but she also helped her second sister-in-law. Why did she seem like a different person? Or was she planning something? Wait for He Xun to let down his guard and elope with Nie Suijing?

At the thought of this, He Xun’s eyes turned sinister. However, the tip of his nose twitched. There seemed to be a strange smell in the air. Was it Chen Wei’er’s perfume? In the past, when they stayed over at the He family’s house, Chen Wei’er would always sleep on the bed, and he would sleep on the sofa. It was the same this time. He didn’t turn on the light. In the dim room, He Xun took a look. The bed was bulging. Chen Wei’er had fallen asleep?

He Xun didn’t think too much about it and leaned back on the sofa to rest. The smell at the tip of his nose lingered for a long time, and it made his head hurt. Perhaps, it was because he had drunk some wine, but he suddenly felt a little hot. At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly hugged him. He looked at the slender arms around his waist. “Chen Wei’er?”
