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

Seeing this, Huo Wenze didn't want to let these two people continue to disturb Wenrou's rare enjoyment of attending the banquet.

So, he turned his gaze to the host of the banquet, his expression stern, and he said without question: "I think the person you invited today is the second young master of the Huo family. Now Huo Shubai is no longer a member of the Huo family."

The implication was obvious: Huo Shubai and Liu Jia should leave the stage immediately.

Before he could finish his words, the host of the banquet instantly understood his hidden meaning.

The host of the banquet did not dare to delay even a moment and hurriedly walked up to Huo Shubai and Liu Jia, his face full of polite yet distant smiles. He bowed slightly and said softly, "I am so sorry, both of you. Please leave the room. Don't disturb Young Master Huo's elegance and avoid embarrassing everyone. I hope you will bear with me."

Behind these seemingly respectful words, there is an irresistible intention to drive the guest away.

After all, offending Huo Shubai is much better than offending Huo Wenzhe.

Huo Shubai was so angry that his chest was heaving violently. Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, he felt Liu Jia pinch his arm hard.

Turning around, he saw Liu Jia winking at him. There was reluctance in her eyes, but also a hint of forbearance and shrewdness in her eyes.

She knew in her heart that it was not wise to confront Huo Wen Ze at this moment. Not to mention that this was on someone else's territory, just considering the influence of the Huo family in the city, they would not get any good results.

Although Huo Shubai was filled with rage, he could only suppress it. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the banquet hall with Liu Jia in embarrassment under the various gazes of the crowd.

Wenrou looked at their departing backs, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Huo Wenze seemed to have noticed her mood change. After hesitating for a moment, he gently held her hand and gave her a firm look, as if silently promising that he would be able to protect her in the future.

However, Huo Wenze himself was immersed in his concern for Wenrou and did not notice how ambiguous the atmosphere between them was. It was as if the air around them had become sticky, and every thread was entangled with a different kind of emotion.

The people around us looked at each other, with the blazing fire of gossip in their eyes.

However, everyone was afraid of the Huo family's authority and did not dare to speak out. They just secretly speculated whether the Huo family's current complicated situation was a quarrel between brothers or there was another hidden story?

Everyone was secretly calculating their own interests, wondering if they could gain some benefit from the Huo family's chaos, or avoid the disaster that might harm them.

Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, a graceful woman in a gorgeous cheongsam came over gracefully. She was the White Rose, a famous socialite in the city's nightclub.

She was seen gently waving an exquisite folding fan in her hand. The ink bamboo on the fan seemed to hold a secret. She parted her red lips and said with a smile, "Oh, the affairs of the Huo family are even more exciting than those in our theater. Master Huo, you really opened our eyes."

As she spoke, Bai Meigui walked to Young Master Huo and looked at him with loving eyes.

Huo Wenze frowned slightly, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Miss Bai, this is my Huo family's private matter, so please don't bother with it." His words were brief, but revealed a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.

Bai Meigui didn't take it seriously. She chuckled like a silver bell, "Mr. Huo, what you said is true. We are all in Shanghai together. We see each other every day. It's only natural for you to show some concern for me."

As she spoke, her eyes swept towards Wenrou intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of inquiry and jealousy in her eyes. She wondered in her heart, what was the charm of this woman who could cause the two brothers of the Huo family to quarrel?

Wenrou felt that gaze and her heart tightened slightly. She subconsciously leaned towards Huo Wenze, as if seeking shelter.

Huo Wenze noticed her little movement, and with an idea in his mind, he turned sideways and gently blocked her behind him, like a towering mountain, separating him from the disturbances and evils of the outside world.

This subtle movement, seen by others, made everyone more certain of the relationship between them. For a moment, undercurrents surged in the banquet hall, and all kinds of speculations and discussions became increasingly noisy.

Seeing this, Rose raised the corner of her mouth slightly, thinking to herself: When did the eldest son of the Huo family become so interested in a woman? It seems there is something going on here.

Her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind. She gently waved her folding fan, took a few steps closer, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Mr. Huo, please don't misunderstand me. I am just concerned about you as a friend. You see, everyone is curious about this scene today. I am just helping everyone to test the waters."

As he said this, he glanced playfully at the people around him, attracting a few curious people around to join in the fun.

Huo Wenze's expression grew increasingly stern. How could he not know what Bai Meigui was thinking? She simply wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the Huo family, or to extract some information from this mess that could become a topic of conversation in the future, so as to consolidate her position in the social circles of Shanghai.

"Miss Bai, I advise you to focus your attention on where it should be and not cause trouble here for no reason." Huo Wenze's voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Rose pretended to be wronged, pouting her red lips slightly, and said sadly: "Mr. Huo, your words are really hurtful. I meant well, but you took it for granted."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wenrou out of the corner of his eye, trying to find a flaw in her face, to see how capable this seemingly weak woman could be that would make the two brothers of the Huo family go through so much trouble for her.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the banquet hall, a mysterious figure was quietly watching all this. He was dressed in a black Mao suit and was fiddling with a string of Buddhist beads, occasionally moving them, making a slight "clicking" sound.

This person is Master Xu, the think tank of the Qing Gang, another major force here. He came here originally to explore the possibility of cooperation with the Huo family, but he didn't expect to run into this internal farce of the Huo family.

Master Xu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: This internal conflict within the Huo family is becoming more apparent. If we can exploit it, we might be able to gain greater benefits for the Qing Gang. However, Huo Wenze is no ordinary person, so if he wants to intervene, he needs to think carefully.

Huo Wenze seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes swept towards the corner like lightning, meeting Master Xu's eyes in the air. In the brief eye contact, sparks seemed to fly.

Huo Wenze's heart was filled with alarm. He knew very well that although the Huo family seemed to have the final say, in reality, the various forces in the city were intertwined and complicated. If they were not careful, they would fall into an irretrievable situation.

Rose noticed the strange atmosphere and followed Huo Wenze's gaze, and also saw the mysterious man in black.
