Wen Xiaorou stood there blankly, staring at Song Xun in front of her, with an indescribable feeling in her heart. This man made her feel familiar, but also seemed to have a strange aura.

"Song Xun?" There was a hint of doubt and uncertainty in her voice.

"It's me." Song Xun's eyes were gentle and deep, as if they could drown people. He responded softly.

Then, Song Xun turned to look at Huo Ting, his tone becoming stern: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my girlfriend Wen Xiaorou. I hope you can restrain your people and let them understand that not everyone is suitable for them to bully at will."

When Wen Xiaorou heard Song Xun say that she was his girlfriend, she was stunned for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Song Xun showed a somewhat annoyed expression on his face, as if he realized that he had taken things for granted, so he looked at Wen Xiaorou soothingly, but because he was in front of everyone, he did not explain directly to Wen Xiaorou.

Huo Ting's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little uneasy, obviously afraid of Song Xun. He licked his dry lips and tried to ease the atmosphere: "You misunderstood, we are all friends."

"Misunderstanding? Ha." Song Xun's voice was low and magnetic, with a subtle hint of sarcasm. "It seems some people don't even understand basic respect."

Huo Ting felt the pressure in the other party's words, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.

The aura he exuded, which could not be ignored, made Huo Ting feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He muttered to himself, wondering what happened to Song Xun when he was demoted, and didn't understand why Song Xun had changed so much.

Wen Xiaoyu frowned slightly, she didn't understand the situation.

Logically speaking, with the family power behind Huo Ting, he should not show such fear towards Song Xun.

However, she could not tolerate losing face in front of her classmates, so she raised her chin and said in a slightly provocative tone: "Huo Ting, ignore him. Do you know? He is the son of a labor camp prisoner and met Wen Xiaorou in the village. "

When Huo Ting heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He secretly observed Song Xun's expression, and saw that his eyes had become even darker. Huo Ting suddenly felt regretful and wanted to stop Wen Xiaoyu's rude remarks immediately.

In fact, Wen Xiaoyu didn't know the inside story of the capital. Many years ago, the Huo family's status was far lower than it is now. Huo Ting's grandfather was once a subordinate of Song Xun's grandfather.

Song Xun's father, the eldest son of Grandpa Song, was once reported for being accused of accepting bribes and corruption.

This incident caused Grandpa Song’s political career to take a sharp turn for the worse and ruined the family’s reputation.

As the investigation deepened, the Song family was eventually sentenced to forced labor and forced to leave the capital, beginning a long life of exile.

However, the truth is far from as simple as it seems.

In reality, Song Xun's father was innocent and had become the victim of a political conspiracy orchestrated by others. The Song family had always been an insurmountable obstacle in the political circles of the capital, and its influence forced many families to act under it, including the Huo family.

This conspiracy against the Song family was the result of the Huo family's joint efforts with several other factions. They hoped to gain more power and resources by bringing down the Song family.

But for some reason, Song Xun is back now.

Huo Ting knew that Song Xun could not come back for no reason. If he came back, it would prove that the Song family might have been rehabilitated, which meant that the Song family had once again become a figure that the Huo family could not afford to offend.

It was precisely because of this that Huo Ting was so wary of Song Xun just now.

Huo Ting was unable to determine the exact current situation of the Song family, which made him more cautious in negotiating with Song Xun.

He knew that any rash action without fully understanding the situation could lead to irreversible consequences.

Therefore, even though he had thousands of doubts and anxieties in his heart, he could only choose to suppress them temporarily, wait and see, and avoid bringing greater risks to the family due to momentary impulse.

So Huo Ting frowned hurriedly and shouted at Wen Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense!"

Wen Xiaoyu was startled. She widened her eyes and looked at Huo Ting in astonishment, her heart full of doubts and confusion.

Wen Xiaoyu really couldn't understand why Huo Ting would scold herself so much just because of a labor camp prisoner and a bumpkin.

At this moment, her originally fair face turned red in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of grievance and anger.

Especially when she noticed the strange looks from her classmates, a strong sense of shame came over her, and she felt that she had lost face in front of everyone.

So she pursed her lips, and no longer obeyed Huo Ting as usual, but retorted with obvious displeasure in her tone: "Huo Ting, what's the matter with you? What I said is all true!"

Huo Ting was almost mad at Wen Xiaoyu and wanted to cover his mouth directly.

He now just wanted to end this conversation and quickly go back to ask his grandfather whether the Song family was really rehabilitated.

After all, if the Song family had not been rehabilitated, then he would not have to be so humble and fawning to Song Xun.

Huo Ting couldn't help but think of the past. At that time, because his grandfather was a subordinate of Grandpa Song Xun, his grandfather often told him to do his best to please Song Xun.

In this way, on the road to growth, Huo Ting was always shrouded in the shadow of Song Xun.

Therefore, Huo Ting disliked Song Xun from the bottom of his heart.

After a lot of effort, the Song family fell, and Huo Ting became the former Song Xun, accepting the flattery and compliments of many people.

Huo Ting gritted his teeth and prayed silently in his heart that the Song family would never be able to turn over and be vindicated.

At this moment, Song Xun seemed to have seen through Huo Ting's thoughts. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Then, his voice, as deep and magnetic as a cello, slowly rang out: "You are right, my grandfather and father have both been reinstated."

Hearing this, the originally complacent expression on Huo Ting's face froze instantly and became extremely stiff.

He widened his eyes and stared at Song Xun in front of him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Song Xun's lips curled up slightly, outlining a faint smile. He slowly opened his mouth and asked in a slightly joking tone: "Why, aren't you happy for me?"

Hearing this, Huo Ting's face instantly became extremely ugly, and that look was even more uncomfortable than crying. He tried to squeeze out a stiff smile, and responded in a slightly stiff voice: "happy, how could I not be happy, Song Xun, we have always been good friends. Before, you followed your family to be sent down, and I was worried for a long time. It's great that you can come back. "
