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

Wenrou looked up when she heard the voice, and her eyes met Huo Shubai. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she returned to her coldness.

Thinking of all the difficulties Huo Shubai had faced in the past, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly. There was no joy on her face that should be seen when meeting an acquaintance, but only annoyance towards him.

"I've been working at the company for a while. Your brother was injured and hospitalized, so I took leave to take care of him. I just came back today."

Her chin was slightly raised, and her tone was as cold as ice chips in the coldest days of winter. She deliberately emphasized the three words "your brother", and every syllable seemed to carry an accusation.

In her opinion, Huo Shubai, as a brother, disappeared when Huo Wenze was injured. He only cared about romance and pursuing the illusory freedom all day long. He was selfish and unreliable, which made her despise him from the bottom of her heart.

Huo Shubai was choked and startled, his face turning pale and red. He stammered, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I didn't expect that the person who was accepted by the foreign company was you. Do you know English and French?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again and bit his tongue in annoyance.

Sure enough, Huo Shubai's focus was not on his brother's injury and hospitalization, and the first person he asked about was Wenrou.

At this moment, Huo Shubai felt mixed emotions, anger at being deceived and astonishment after getting to know Wenrou again.

When Wenrou heard Huo Shubai's question, her dissatisfaction grew stronger. She frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes: "Huo Shubai, do you think it's possible to get a job in this foreign company without knowing English? Not only am I proficient in it, I can also use it to negotiate business with foreign businessmen fluently. Unlike some people who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, I'm afraid they are of no use at all when the critical moment comes."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. She really didn't want to get entangled with Huo Shubai any longer.

Huo Shubai's face turned red after Wenrou's retort. He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he had no words to say.

Huo Shubai looked at Wenrou's departing figure and felt his face burning hot, the heat burning all the way to his ears.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at the empty doorway with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he was stunned that the woman he had been thinking about was actually his fiancée whom he had always rejected. He felt like he had been thoroughly teased.

On the other hand, he witnessed Wenrou's capable appearance at work, which was completely different from his impression of a weak and delicate woman who only cared about taking care of her husband and children. This made him stunned.

However, soon, another idea grew wildly in his heart like weeds: Wenrou's engagement with him had not been cancelled, and she was still his fiancée.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Huo Shubai inexplicably began to pay attention to Wenrou's every move.

He found that Wenrou was confident and decisive at work, organized and insightful when handling business, and exuded the charm of an independent woman in her every move, which was completely different from traditional feudal women.

Unconsciously, his rejection of this engagement faded a lot, and he even developed a desire to be closer to Wenrou.

====================================================================== ================

A few days later, Huo Shubai took a deep breath, and with some determination, he took the initiative to return to the Huo family mansion.

He stood in the middle of the hall, his hands unconsciously clenched. The moment he saw Huo Wenze slowly walking down the stairs, he raised his chin slightly and said, "Brother, I've figured out some things. I was absurd before and had many misunderstandings about Wenrou. In the foreign company, I saw her abilities. She is a rare good girl. I shouldn't be as muddleheaded as before."

There was a hint of regret and determination in Huo Shubai's eyes, no longer as impulsive and reckless as before.

Huo Wenze was walking down the stairs when he saw this scene. He stopped abruptly and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Have you changed your personality?"

Huo Shubai pursed his lips and continued, "Brother, I'm serious. The engagement is still there. I'm willing to try to understand Wen Rou, accept the engagement arranged by the elders, and live a good life with her. You were right before, Liu Jia...she's not a simple girl at all. I mistook her for a pearl and almost missed out on Wen Rou. But fortunately, it's not too late now."

His tone was calm but unquestionable, as if he had made a great decision.

When Huo Wenze heard this, his face instantly darkened. He and Wenrou had already confessed their feelings to each other, so how could he tolerate his brother's sudden change of heart?

His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. His voice rose a few notes, and his tone was full of anger: "What did you say? Nonsense! It was you who said before that you didn't accept the engagement. What do you think of Wenrou? She is not someone you can summon and dismiss at will. Don't even think about continuing the engagement. To tell you the truth, Wenrou and I are already together. I warn you to put away your inappropriate thoughts!"

Huo Shubai was stunned as if he had been hit by a stick on the head. He stared at Huo Wenze with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief: "Brother, how could you do this? I didn't know anything before! Aren't you taking advantage of my confusion to steal my love?"

Huo Wenze was so angry that he paced back and forth in the hall and shouted angrily, "Shut up! Wenrou and I are truly in love. The elders have seen it and were planning to rearrange the engagement and betroth Wenrou to me. You've only been caring about yourself all this time. When have you ever cared about Wenrou? Now that you've lost Liu Jia, you come looking for Wenrou. What do you think of her?"

Huo Shubai's eyes instantly turned red. He felt wronged and angry, and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it! I'm going to the Huo family's ancestral home and ask my grandparents and father to judge. This engagement is clearly mine, and I can't just let it go like this."

After saying that, he rushed out without looking back, leaving Huo Wenze gasping for breath in anger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huo Shubai rushed all the way to the Huo family's ancestral home. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to his grandmother who loved him the most. His eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "Grandma, you have to make the decision for me!"

He tried his best to control his emotions and not let the tears fall. "Wenrou and I have been engaged for a long time. This is something everyone knows. But now my brother... He has snatched Wenrou away from me. I admit that I was ignorant before, but now I really want to change and live a good life with Wenrou. I beg grandma to help me and give me a chance!"
