The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

She clenched the corner of her clothes slightly, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say to the guard at the door: "I... I'm here to see Huo Shubai. Please let me know."

The guard looked her up and down, and seeing that she looked well-behaved and didn't seem like someone who was there to cause trouble, he went in to report.

After a while, the housekeeper hurried out and said politely but distantly, "Miss, please come this way."

Liu Jia followed the housekeeper, walking through the exquisite courtyards and gorgeous corridors, her eyes fixed on the scenery, and she became increasingly nervous.

When I walked into the hall of the mansion, I saw a woman with a pretty face and gentle temperament sitting in the living room. That woman was Wenrou.

Liu Jia's heart tightened. She had never heard that the Huo family had a daughter, so she felt an inexplicable hostility. She looked Wenrou up and down, her eyes full of vigilance.

Wenrou noticed someone coming in and stood up, smiling politely. Before she could say anything, Liu Jia asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Wenrou pursed her lips in displeasure when she heard such rude words from the other party, but still responded softly: "My name is Wenrou, and I am Huo Shubai's fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and then, like a powder keg that had been ignited, she exploded in an instant: "Fiancée? How come I've never heard Shu Bai mention her before! Don't think you can talk nonsense just because Shu Bai isn't here!"

Wenrou frowned slightly and explained, "This is an engagement arranged by the elders in my family."

But Liu Jia was so jealous that she wouldn't listen. She raised her voice, "Humph, what engagement? It's the right time now, and you're still using this feudalism? You just want to interfere with my relationship with Shu Bai!"

When Wenrou heard this, she understood that this Liu Jia was probably Huo Shubai's girlfriend.

The quarrel between the two attracted Huo Shubai. When he saw Liu Jia's eyes red with anger, he felt distressed and quickly stepped forward to protect Liu Jia. He turned to Wen Rou with an angry face and said, "Miss Wen, I beg you not to say nonsense to Jia Jia. She is innocent and kind. Don't bully her!"

Wenrou was filled with grievances, and her eyes were red. She bit her lower lip and said stubbornly, "I never had such intentions. How can you accuse me without knowing the truth?"

Just at this moment, Huo Wenze walked in from outside and saw the tense atmosphere in the room, his face darkened.

He walked a few steps to Wenrou's side and said in a resounding voice: "Huo Shubai, how many times have I told you that Wenrou is the wife chosen for you by your elders, not for you to bully."

Only then did Huo Wenze notice Liu Jia behind Huo Shubai. He couldn't help but frown, wondering: Where did this girl come from? When did Shubai have this relationship with her? He turned his gaze to Huo Shubai, his eyes full of questions.

Wenrou was actually extremely confused. She looked up at Huo Wenze, as if seeking an answer, and whispered softly, "Mr. Huo, what's going on? I've never heard the Second Young Master mention such a girl..."

Huo Wenze shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.

When Huo Shubai heard what Huo Wenze said, he couldn't help but stiffen his neck and shouted, "What marriage contract? It's not valid without my consent! Today, I want to introduce you to Liu Jia, the girl I love. When I marry in the future, it will only be her!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia couldn't help but reveal a somewhat smug smile on her face, and looked at Wenrou opposite her, as if in protest.

Huo Wenze noticed Liu Jia's gentle gaze and pursed his lips unhappily. He said coldly, "Miss Liu, Huo Shubai is a member of the Huo family. His food, clothing, and expenses are all provided by the Huo family. Naturally, he has to listen to the arrangements of the Huo family. I'm afraid you are too proud too early."

Liu Jia's face flushed crimson at Huo Wenze's blunt sarcasm. Not wanting to be outdone, she shouted, "Your Huo family is so pedantic! It's the Republic of China now, and you're still clinging to that outdated marriage contract. She's a feudal remnant. What right does she have to ruin my relationship with Shu Bai?"

Huo Wenze looked at Liu Jia with a stern gaze. "Miss Liu, please be careful with your words. It's not your place to dictate the affairs of our Huo family. The engagement is settled, and Wenrou is the future daughter-in-law of the Huo family. If you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame me for being rude."

Liu Jia was shocked by Huo Wenzhe's aura. She was stunned for a few seconds, then stomped her feet and ran out crying.

Seeing this, Huo Shubai glared at Huo Wen Ze fiercely and said, "Brother, why do you have to hurt her like this? She and I are truly in love, why do you have to break us up!" After saying that, he ignored Huo Wen Ze's attempts to stop him and ran after Liu Jia.

In the mansion, Wenrou stood there, tears welling up in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Huo Wenze looked at her, sighed softly, and said softly: "Miss Wen, don't be sad. This is just their mistake. I will definitely seek justice for you. In the future in this Huo family, with me here, no one can bully you anymore."

Wenrou nodded slightly and thanked him softly, but in her heart she was no longer optimistic about this engagement.

Huo Shubai chased Liu Jia all the way and grabbed her at the corner of the street. Liu Jia burst into tears and beat Huo Shubai's chest: "Why did you let me suffer such injustice? Do you have me in your heart?"

Huo Shubai hugged her tightly and swore, "Jia Jia, don't worry, I will marry you in this life. I will definitely find a way to cancel this ridiculous engagement."

Liu Jia leaned in his arms, sobbing, but she knew in her heart that judging from Huo Wenze's attitude just now, it would be difficult to challenge the Huo family's marriage contract...

After that day, Huo Shubai, in order to rebel against his family, did not return to the Huo family, but instead lived in Zeng Shaoqi's house and began to run away from home. He was filled with resentment, feeling that his family did not understand his true love, and vowed to fight against this outdated family rules to the end.

Although Zeng Shaoqi was a little worried, he couldn't resist his friend and had to take him in. From time to time, he would accompany him to complain and denounce the constraints of feudal ethics.

Coincidentally, Huo Wenze knew that there would be a banquet in the near future that would be attended by celebrities from all walks of life. He thought this was a good opportunity for Wen Rou to relax, so he extended an invitation to her: "Miss Wen, there will be a banquet in a few days. Would you be willing to be my dance partner? Just think of it as a change of mood."

Wenrou hesitated for a moment and nodded gently. Huo Wenze was relieved to see her agree, otherwise he really didn't know how to comfort a girl, and this girl was his brother's fiancée.

After Wenrou agreed, Huo Wenze immediately began to prepare for her, customizing a gorgeous dress and arranging a professional makeup artist, all in his determination to ensure that Wenrou could enjoy the banquet.

On the day of the banquet, Wenrou dressed up beautifully. The champagne-colored dress perfectly highlighted her gentle temperament, and the exquisite makeup added a touch of beauty.

Huo Wenze was a little dazed. After he came to his senses, he smiled and stretched out his arm, his cheeks slightly flushed, and gently put it around her.

At the same time, Huo Shubai brought Liu Jia to the banquet in order to show her the prosperity of the upper class society.
