Of course, it was Hu Lian who took Huo Qiuya to the birthday party to play a murder mystery game.
Going back to Huo Cheng meant he would inevitably get a beating, but Huo Cheng didn't hit him; it was Lin Lan who went crazy and wanted to beat him.
So... Lin Lan really did take a fruit knife, the angle of which was Lin Lan stabbing at it, but Luo Beishi suspected that Hu Lian deliberately went to meet it.
Although the thick clothing prevented injury when the knife was plunged in, Lin Lan was still convicted of attempted murder and was taken to the police station that very night.
Luo Beishi: "Holy crap, that's awesome! If this were a palace drama, I think Hu Lian's role would last until the very end."
System: "Host, do not let your guard down."
Luo Beishi shook his head. "This is none of our business for now. Besides, even after Hu Lian clears out Lin Lan and the others, there's still Xinxin, isn't there? Xinxin's son hasn't come out yet."
"Oh, right, although that Assistant Zhang has a disgusting look in his eyes, he's no saint if he planned to get my husband into trouble. Do you think he'll let Huo Cifeng get into trouble? Hu Lian is probably in for some trouble."
It has to be said that Luo Beishi's brain is exceptionally sharp.
Huo Cixiao listened to Luo Beishi's analysis, and to avoid getting involved with anything unclean, neither of them attended Huo Qiuya's funeral.
That's right, the way to avoid conflict is to stay away from conflict, so they simply sent someone to deliver a wreath.
The next day
The couple received another message.
Huo Cheng took Hu Lian to the funeral, thus officially revealing Hu Lian's identity, but the scene seemed strangely familiar.
"Honey, doesn't this look familiar? It's cardamom pig's heart." Luo Beishi almost clapped his hands in approval, not because he approved of the "culprit," but because this method... was just so satisfying.
Because the system showed him footage of Lin Lan in the detention center, the newly arrived female inmate learned of this and found Lin Lan, telling her that her husband had brought the culprit Hu Lian, to their daughter's funeral.
This scene was just like when Huo Cixiao's mother died, and Lin Lan married into the family before the seventh day memorial service and appeared at the funeral. The impact was devastating, absolutely insane.
Having lost her beloved daughter and suffered such a devastating blow, Lin Lan went insane, biting anyone she saw.
Having been following the gossip for days, Luo Beishi found it difficult to comment. He didn't want to say who was right or wrong, as it had nothing to do with him and Huo Cixiao.
But they thought that was the end of it.
Assistant Zhang was no pushover; she directly exposed that Hu La was keeping a young, handsome man as a mistress, along with indecent photos.
Huo Cheng was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs were all aching. He kicked the mother and son out of their home that very night and transferred several of his luxury homes to Xie Yuhua Xinxin's name.
It has to be said, Xinxin has won big this time.
Huo Cheng's story went viral online, setting a bad example for society and drawing criticism from state media.
"Haha, honey, I think Huo Cheng might never have had as exciting a few days as he has in his entire life."
Huo Cixiao: "Hmm, no classes again tomorrow?"
Luo Beishi nodded. "A two-month internship, you know, business administration, practice makes perfect, theory and practice go hand in hand. So... so... I'd like my husband to stamp my resume then."
Luo Beishi's eyes, as beautiful as jewels, blinked constantly.
Huo Cixiao's lips curled into a faint smile. "How do you cover it?"
Luo Beishi couldn't stand Huo Cixiao's voice; it made his ears itch. He blushed, turned his head away, and avoided Huo Cixiao's gaze.
"Seriously, can you help me get this stamped? I don't want to go to class, and I don't want to go to work..."
"Does your wife mean you want me to help you cheat? That's not a good idea..."
Luo Beishi turned his head away bitterly. Ever since that person started having sex, he'd been doing it all the time...
If the system could produce the official seal for him, he wouldn't have had to ask his husband for it.
"Husband... please have mercy, okay?" Luo Beishi stopped dodging and immediately leaned in to give him a gentle nibble.
Huo Cixiao raised an eyebrow. "Not enough."
Luo Beishi: "... Then what should I do? Really go to work? There's no suitable position for me in the company, right? A billionaire like this, only the chairman's position is suitable for me!"
Huo Cixiao couldn't help but chuckle. "Come to the company with me tomorrow. Since you need an internship certificate, then go to work properly, okay?"
Luo Beishi complained to the system, "Is this still a villain? This righteous light is blinding me!"
She was sullen all night, and on Monday she reluctantly nudged Huo Cixiao before getting up, washing up, and putting on a very elegant black suit with subtle patterns.
All the way to the company building, Luo Beishi was still agonizing over why he had to change departments and classes! Everyone in his class had gone on internships, and he had to catch up with the rest of them!
Moreover, the school is now cracking down on cheating because there are too many rich kids in the class, many of whom own companies, making it incredibly easy for them to get an internship certificate.
Therefore, the school stipulated that they must take a photo to clock in every day when they go to work, and the photo must be taken in a place with the company logo.
Huo Cixiao rubbed his head. "As a parent, we received a call from the school a long time ago. Don't be sad, honey. It's just taking a picture. You look so handsome today, how could we not take a picture?"
My husband has a knack for coaxing him now; so, he really does look very handsome today.
"Honey, this outfit I'm wearing looks really... expensive?"
"Ten million, purely handmade."
Luo Beishi noticed the subtle gold threads peeking through the fabric... No wonder it felt a bit heavy to wear...
He smiled, seemingly forgetting the pain of having to go to work, and made a heart shape with his fingers. "My husband is so good, I love you."
I arrived at the company building.
Early in the morning, employees downstairs at the company were greeted by a barrage of PDA.
The more they disapproved of this couple's marriage before, the more embarrassed they are now.
Today was another day for Huo Cifeng to come and report on his work. He had just arrived at the elevator when he ran into the couple again.
Luo Beishi was curious to see Huo Cifeng's current state. He didn't really want to mock him; what he wanted to know was what kind of mentality this man had that allowed Huo Corporation to remain calm and composed after losing his sister and his mother in prison.
The private elevator doors opened, and Huo Cixiao, who remained silent, curled his lips into a smile. He merely glanced at Huo Cifeng, his eyes revealing provocation, amusement, and more so, the feeling that he looked at Huo Cifeng as if he were a rat in a stinking ditch.
Huo Cifeng clenched his fists tightly, but could only grit his teeth and watch the two figures and the gradually closing elevator doors.
He secretly encouraged himself, thinking that one day, Huo Cixiao would die at his hands.
He bit his tongue, a metallic taste spreading in his mouth. His sister's death had no impact on him whatsoever; in fact, it meant one less person to inherit his estate, so of course he wasn't sad.
