Chapter 73 Cold War
"Be careful not to get into trouble."
Enzo shrugged, since he would be the one to clean up his mess in the end anyway.
"I just want the LE plan in Huo Lie's hand."
Vincent rolled his eyes at Enzo, wondering why he was acting like a retard now.
"what?"
Enzo sat down next to Vincent and became interested.
I heard that someone has been secretly researching biological weapons against vampires, but there is no information about who it is.
Since Vincent said so, the Huo family must have some very important information.
"It takes more than guts to get the skin of a tiger."
“It takes more scheming.”
Vincent smiled deeply and unfathomably through the dim candlelight. Enzo shuddered as he looked at his sinister smile and stood away from him.
Huo Wanqing set off back to the Northern Continent that night. After Huo Lie's death, she still needed to deal with the aftermath.
Thanks to her unremitting efforts over the years, her physical ability is now as good as Huo Anzhi's.
She just used her emotional and logical appeals to make Huo Anzhi willingly give up the position of head of the family.
When she returned again, Huo Wanqing had already become the head of the Huo family.
Huo Anzhi was busy looking for the missing Huo Youshan. There had been no trace of Huo Youshan since he ran away from the Lan family last time.
The Lan family also offered their help, but they were able to track her down to the location where she finally disappeared in the north of Mingdu.
As soon as Huo Wanqing returned to the Southern Continent, she began to win people's hearts in various ways. She visited everyone who could be mentioned by name.
She has a high emotional intelligence and is very suitable for dealing with various social situations.
So for a time, the Huo family's status was much higher than that of the Gu family.
Huo Wanqing was pleasantly surprised to find that Garland's attitude towards her had changed.
Unlike his previous estrangement, he often appeared by her side.
Even closer than when they were in the sanatorium.
"Gallan, didn't we agree to have dinner together today?"
Huo Wanqing held Garland's arm and glanced at Yuri behind her with some dissatisfaction.
"It's his job to protect us."
Although Garland's tone was still indifferent, it was better than his previous disgust.
"Wow, you still remember that I like my hometown food."
Entering the restaurant, Huo Wanqing was surprised to find that Garland had ordered a private dish that was so popular in the southern continent that every seat was filled.
"It's newly opened. I'll bring you here to try it."
Garland nodded, trying to look more natural and less defensive towards her.
"Thank you!"
Huo Wanqing smiled gently, and when she wanted to kiss Garland on the cheek, Garland still dodged.
Huo Wanqing's eyes dimmed for a moment, then she pulled him to sit down.
"Sister Wanwan, you are here too, and...Lan Dian?"
At this moment, Jin Yingming's surprised voice came from behind him, and then Evelyn and Oli, who were sitting at the same table with him, also turned around.
Evelin’s smiling face froze instantly. It turned out that the person Garland was talking about was Huo Wanqing?
When Garland saw Evelyn and Jin Yingming sitting together, he didn't know why he was jealous.
Is this what she meant by not going out today?
"When did you become friends?"
Garland couldn't help but snorted coldly and stared at Evelin and Jin Yingming.
"Brother is not bad, having a meal with a beautiful woman."
Evelin was not to be outdone, and the remaining three people were at a loss as they looked at the inexplicable hostility between the two.
"Since we've met, how about we share a table?"
Huo Wanqing took the lead in breaking the deadlock. She was like a gentle and generous sister who took the overall situation into consideration.
Of course, she didn't do it for anything else.
Simply because she didn't want to miss any opportunity to get close to Garland in front of Evelyn.
During the meal, Garland saw Jin Yingming introducing dishes to Evelin, and he kept picking up dishes for Huo Wanqing.
"Gallan, I can't eat anymore."
Huo Wanqing looked at the mountain of food on her plate and waved her hands hastily in embarrassment.
At this time, Evelyn discovered that the ring on Garland's left hand was gone.
She looked down at her hands and felt ridiculous.
She bought the ring and forced Garland to wear it.
She was the only one taking the initiative from the beginning to the end.
"I'm full. I'm going back first."
Evelin put down her knife and fork, said goodbye to everyone, and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
"I've already bought the bill, you guys eat first."
Without waiting for Jin Yingming to catch up, Garland left after saying a few words.
"Evelyn."
Garland, who had chased after him, called out to Evelyn, but Evelyn seemed not to hear him and instead quickened her pace.
"Stop!"
Garland was so angry that he immediately grabbed Evelyn's arm and clamped her.
"Lan Dian, why don't you have dinner with your little lover? Why are you chasing me?"
Evelyn took a deep breath and turned back, her mocking look making Garland even more angry.
"Do you have to be so sarcastic when talking to me?"
Garland suppressed the inexplicable anger in his chest and spoke.
"Otherwise, you have already announced to the world that you and Huo Wanqing are always together."
"As a younger sister I definitely have to keep my distance."
I remember that the major news headlines recently were all photos of Garland and Huo Wanqing going out together, with some headlines suggesting that good things were about to happen.
Evelin felt indescribably sad.
If you don't love her anymore, you can just tell her. Why tell her in such a cruel way?
"I told you, no matter what I do or say."
"You just have to trust me."
Seeing Evelin's misty eyes, Garland couldn't help but turn off the fire.
He also understood how sad Evelyn would be to see those reports.
"So, you are the only one who can do the work outside, and I will sit at home and ignore everything."
"I trust you just because of your words?"
"We are not children anymore. We all know that promises are the most useless things."
"You two are about to have a good time, what else can I trust you with?"
After saying that, Evelin shook off Garland's hand, closed the car door, and drove away.
Garland stood there, thinking and thinking.
Really, don't listen or watch, just trust him.
In the end, I still didn't realize what I had done wrong.
From that day on, the two of them fell into a complete cold war, and when they met at home they were like strangers.
We didn't even make eye contact.
Vincent also began to take action, and he appeared more often beside Evelyn.
Huo Wanqing and Garland spent more time together.
She became even more unscrupulous in appearing in public with Garland.
Even at some important banquets, Garland's female companion became Huo Wanqing.
The rumors became more rampant, and Huo Wanqing saw that she had almost let out enough clues and was ready to reel them in.
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why Garland chose her.
She heard about it only when she went back to mourn Huo Lie and reminisce with other relatives.
When she was a child, Huo Lie heard from somewhere that the forbidden blood clan technique of blood transfusion and purification could cure all diseases and even bring the dead back to life.
