Huo Jiantao's words startled Zhou Yuru instantly.

Don’t have any bad thoughts!

Why did he say that suddenly?

Did he discover something?

No, not possible!

She hasn't done anything yet, how could he doubt it?

She must be overthinking.

But Huo Jiantao's sharp eyes were like X-rays, which seemed to see through her entire body, making her feel cold all over.

Zhou Yuru was extremely flustered, but she pretended to be innocent and calm on the surface.

Maintaining Mrs. Huo's standard smile, "What nonsense are you talking about?

I've been waiting for you to come back all day so that we can celebrate our daughter's birthday together in the evening.

Supervise the housekeeper to prepare all the ingredients.

But as soon as you came back, you told the kitchen not to prepare anything and not to make the cake.

Now he's saying some weird things.

I was completely confused by what I heard.”

At this time, Huo Xueer came back.

When I saw Huo Jiantao still in the car, I thought he had just returned.

She never dared to act rudely in front of Huo Jiantao, and pretended to be well-behaved as she walked to Huo Jiantao's car.

She shouted happily, "Dad, did you just come back too?"

"Why don't you get off the bus?"

She raised the gift box in her hand and said, "Dad, look, this is the birthday present I bought for my sister this year.

I'll save it for my sister first and give it to her when she comes back."

Huo Jiantao remained calm, and his eyes less sharp.

He nodded, “You’re thoughtful.

But Daddy doesn’t plan to celebrate your sister’s birthday this year.

After all these years, your sister's whereabouts are still unknown.

I don't plan to continue until your sister is found.

I have something else to go out for.

You can have dinner at home with your mother." After saying that, he ignored Zhou Yuru's gradually stiffening face and asked the driver to drive away.

Huo Xueer was confused. She waited until Huo Jiantao's car left before she asked Zhou Yuru.

"Mom, what happened to Dad?"

"Why can't I speak now?"

Zhou Yuru gnashed her teeth in anger, "How should I know?

Who knows what he will suddenly go crazy for?

As soon as he came back, he said there was no need to celebrate Nannan’s birthday.

He also inexplicably asked the housekeeper to purchase food and distribute it to the refugee area.

In previous years, he regarded his daughter’s birthday as more important than his life.

But today he suddenly changed his mind, which really puzzled me."

Zhou Yuru was feeling very nervous.

Huo Jiantao's behavior today made her very uneasy.

It was true that she wanted to drug Huo Jiantao, but this matter involved only her and that man.

No third person knows.

She hasn't done it yet, so it's even more impossible for Huo Jiantao to know.

He was fine when he left the house in the morning.

Now suddenly change your mind.

Why?

No, she had to go find that man and explain the situation.

This medicine cannot be taken for the time being.

Huo Jiantao is a high-ranking official and is very vigilant. His behavior today was not right.

She has been secretly cheating on her boyfriend for years.

If he knew about this, given his personality, he would at most kick her out.

But if the drugging was discovered, she would be dead.

Every year, Huo Jiantao only indulges himself in getting drunk on his daughter’s birthday.

It’s usually very difficult to get him to drink too much.

If she missed today, it would be difficult for her to find an opportunity to take action.

If you are not careful, you will end up burning yourself.

After Zhou Yuru and the other housekeepers left, she found an excuse to send Huo Xueer away.

"Xue'er, you can eat dinner at home alone.

Your father is not feeling well today.

I'll go find him.

Ask the kitchen to make you whatever you want to eat."

Huo Xueer pouted, a little dissatisfied, "Mom, even you don't eat at home.

I know today is my sister's birthday.

You and dad are both in a bad mood.

But birthdays are more lively when there are many people around.

Daddy didn't give it to my sister, so you won't give it to me either?"

Huo Xueer was mad with jealousy.

A dead girl who is unknown whether she is dead or alive.

Huo Jiantao remembers every birthday clearly.

Although she is the adopted daughter of the Huo family, Huo Jiantao only has his lost daughter in his eyes.

Her mother was the one who took care of all her birthdays.

He had never made a cake for her personally like he prepared for Nannan.

If you want to eat the cake he made, you have to wait until your daughter’s birthday.

She likes the cakes made by Huo Jiantao very much, and most of the cakes he makes end up in her stomach.

Huo Jiantao made the cake for his daughter, as he doesn’t usually make it.

In previous years, she thought that Nannan would never come back.

She treated everything Huo Jiantao did as her second birthday.

I originally thought I could have a big meal today, but unexpectedly Huo Jiantao suddenly said he didn't want to do it.

Zhou Yuru tightened her fingers.

Of course she didn't want to.

In previous years, if Huo Jiantao hadn't insisted, she wouldn't even want to mention it.

Looking at Huo Xueer's lost eyes, she touched her head and said, "Your father didn't mean to not make a cake today.

He may have encountered something unhappy in the army.

Mom went to find him.

Please understand.

When he's free, Mommy will ask him to make you your favorite strawberry cake."

Huo Xueer felt better after hearing this, "Really, Mom, can you really let Dad do it for me once?"

Zhou Yuru raised the corner of her mouth, "Yes, your father is a cold-hearted person.

He actually cares about you.

Otherwise, why is the cake strawberry flavored every year?

That's because his mother told him that girls all like strawberry flavor.

But actually, mom knows that you like strawberry cake the best.

Your birthday is next month, and then mom will ask him to make you a bigger one."

"Thank you, Mom. I knew you loved me the most."

……

After comforting Huo Xueer, Zhou Yuru went out.

She didn't know that not long after her car left the Huo family, Huo Jiantao, who had already left, changed a car and followed her.

The driver saw this and asked, "Commander, where is your wife going at this time?"

Huo Jiantao sat in the passenger seat, staring at Zhou Yuru's car with cold eyes.

"Follow closely, don't lose me."

"As for where to go?"

"We'll find out later."

……

In the evening, it was not yet dark.

The sun was setting.

The sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red, burning like a flame.

The sun, like a giant fireball, slowly approached the horizon, casting its afterglow across the earth. Everything was draped in a golden veil, a scene of tranquility and grandeur.

Huo Jiantao's car followed Zhou Yuru's car not too far away.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Yuru's car arrived outside a guesthouse.

He saw with his own eyes Zhou Yuru sneaking into the guesthouse.

The driver frowned, "Today is Miss Nannan's birthday.

Madam is not at home, what are you doing here?"

Huo Jiantao was playing with a lighter in his hand.

He stared coldly at the guesthouse.

With a "pop" sound, a faint blue flame shot out from the lighter.

He lit a cigar expressionlessly.

"You'll know what she's here for if you go and see."

Huo Jiantao opened the car door, got out, and strode towards the guesthouse.

The driver followed closely behind.

Keep praying in your heart.

Madam, you'd better not do anything out of the ordinary.

Otherwise, the commander will probably never allow you to stay in the Huo family again.

In the guest house.

Zhou Yuru knocked on the adulterer's door, looked around cautiously, and went in only after finding nothing unusual.

As soon as she entered the door, she was pressed against the door panel. The man frowned and said, "Didn't you say you would attack Huo Jiantao today? Why are you here suddenly?"
