CapĂtulo 666: 417 Wedding video reveals clues? Troublesome honeymoon (2 updates)_2
âWhatâs wrong with the video?â Shen Zhixian looked at him, sensing that something was off with his expression.
This was just a wedding video revisit, what could possibly be wrong with it? To be so engrossed that he was zoning out?
âNothing.â
âThen Iâll go check on the two kids. You clean up, and weâll head out soon.â
After finishing his sentence, Shen Zhixian walked out, while Jiang Yanting, grasping at straws, began to search for any thread, like a Holmes possessed, to unravel the mystery between the two of them.
Some things are just like that, while you are unaware of them, it feels like nothing is there, but as soon as some thoughts emerge, they proliferate uncontrollably.
Now, considering Shen Shuciâs accident, Huo Qinqiâs âdescent from the sky,â and various suspicions Jiang Jinsang had in the past days, things were looking amiss.
Could Old Huo possibly beâŠ
Jiang Yanting felt his head start to throb.
He came out to enjoy his honeymoon in peace, how could he have stumbled upon such distressing issues?
No matter how much he tried to ignore them, he couldnât!
This wasnât a small matter after all. He took out his phone, ready to inform Jiang Jinsang. As the call went throughâŠ
âHello, Xiaowu, are you free to talk right now? Thereâs something I think you need to know about.â
But immediately following, Huo Qinqiâs voice sounded, startling him into a sudden jump.
âItâs me! Xiaowu isnât here.â
âOld Huo?â Jiang Yantingâs headache grew worse, âYou two are together?â
Huo Qinqi usually popped up out of nowhere, barely spending any time in Beijing in a whole year. But recently, his appearances had grown frequent.
âMm-hmm, he left his phone in the car when he got out. If thereâs something important, I can pass on the message to him.â
âItâs nothing now.â
Jiang Jinsang bought a bunch of flowers after getting off the car, then dialed back to Jiang Yanting. But he couldnât tell him the truth at this point either, claiming everything was fine now.
âWhat are you and Old Huo up to?â
âGrandma is in the hospital for a check-up; Iâm going with him to visit her.â
âGrandma⊠Shen Shuciâs mother?â
Was he already starting to ingratiate himself with his future mother-in-law? Jiang Yanting rubbed his temples.
âBesides her, who else?â Jiang Jinsangâs own grandmother had passed away many years ago. âAnything else?â
âNothing, just be carefulâŠâ Jiang Yanting wanted to warn him to be wary of a certain person by his side, but with Huo Qinqi right there, it wasnât good to be too explicit. As the words came to his lips, he said instead, âStay safe.â
âI know, have fun with sister-in-law.â
But Huo Qinqi, from the tone of Jiang Yantingâs voice when the call connected, had roughly guessedâŠ
It wasnât that he wasnât in trouble anymore, but that he had something he wanted to discuss with Jiang Jinsang alone.
Maybe he didnât want others to hear, or perhapsâŠ
He didnât want him to hear!
Jiang Yanting, did you find out something? With his fingers gently tapping his knee, Huo Qinqiâs gaze turned murkyâŠ

Beijing Hospital
When Jiang Jinsang and Huo Qinqi arrived at the hospital, only the old lady was in the room.
âXiaowu is here!â She wasnât sick, just there for a checkup, though she was sitting on the hospital bed, she was in good spirits. When she caught sight of the person behind him from the corner of her eye, she smiled, âXiaohuo?â
âGrandma Shen.â Huo Qinqi was also polite.
âPlease sit, you two coming here with so many things, Iâm just here for a checkup, not really sick.â The old lady invited them to sit down.
âAre grandfather and my aunt not here?â Jiang Jinsang surveyed the room, since she wasnât ill, she didnât need 24-hour care.
âYour grandfather got bored of staying in the room, he went downstairs for a walk. Once we got to the hospital, we realized we were missing something, so Shuci went to the supermarket. You two donât stand there; take a seat.â Who doesnât love a lively atmosphere? The old lady was happy to see them coming, even going as far as offering to wash apples for them.
âGrandma, let me do it.â Being a family member, it was more appropriate for Jiang Jinsang to do such tasks.
In the room, only Huo Qinqi and Grandma Shen were left, looking at each other, one ice-cold, the other all smilesâŠ
The more Grandma Shen looked at him, the more impressed she was. During the wedding banquet in a suit, he was quite serious, and even in casual clothes today, he was just as sharp.
âYou must be busy with work, probably rarely get to go home, what other family do you have?â Grandma Shen chatted away casually, trying to get a clear picture of his family situation.
âJust my parents.â
âAt your age, your family must be urging you to get married.â
âItâs all right.â
âWith how outstanding you are, Iâm sure there must be plenty of girls in Beijing who want to marry you, eh, Xiaohuo? What kind of person do you like?â
For the elder, Huo Qinqi indeed seemed a very reliable person. Even though he wasnât talkative, he was solid and dependable, Grandma Shen really liked him.
