Even though people were amazed by the beauty of the newly appointed Mrs. Huo, no one could believe that she, who came from the slums, could remain safe and sound in the dark and humiliating world of the shopping mall.

Wu Zheng has always been a womanizer. If he could arouse her sexual desire, it would be a laughing stock.

Everyone showed sympathy, but no one stepped forward to help.

Huo Yuanzhou and Huo Jingxuan tensed up and subconsciously took a step forward to stop him.

Even Huo Xiaoning pursed her lips nervously, holding Ruan Xingchen's arm tightly, with fear in her eyes, but she still did not take a step back.

Ruan Xingchen, the person involved, did not seem nervous. When he saw the performance of his younger brothers and sisters, there was a smile in his eyes.

After giving her a soothing look, she smiled and nodded: "Boss Wu, nice to meet you again."

"Mrs. Huo is so cold." He managed to keep a serious face. Taking advantage of the fact that no one could hear him, Wu Zheng lowered his voice and couldn't control his flowery words: "After all, we have a friendship that we sent flowers to. Mrs. Huo is too distant."

Ruan Xingchen didn't get angry either. He calmly took the fruit wine from the waiter's tray and asked, "Mr. Wu, did you come here just to talk about this?"

She certainly wasn't nervous.

In a place like the back alleys of West Street, she is beautiful, who hasn't seen her?

When her grandmother fell ill, she had no one to turn to for help. Countless people came up to her and tried to help her sell herself for a good price.

She has long been able to handle these things with ease.

"I didn't think things through last time." Wu Zheng looked at her with increasing interest, raised his voice and said with a smile, "Let me offer a toast to Madam Huo. This glass of wine is an apology. I'll drink it. Madam Huo, please do as you please."

He picked up the glass, drank it all, and turned it over to gesture to her.

"You're too polite, Mr. Wu." Ruan Xingchen curled her red lips and actually took a small sip without giving any face.

The onlookers were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

what's the situation?

Upon hearing that Third Master Huo and Second Master Wu had a conflict, Wu Zheng went to their house but nothing was done.

Later, he sent roses to Mrs. Huo, which caused a sensation and everyone thought he was attracted to her because of her beauty.

Why are you apologizing to her now?

She accepted this apology, but she refused to even finish the wine?

Who gave her the courage?

For a moment, everyone's evaluation of her was overturned again.

Didn't Wu Zheng know that he had lost face? He was the one who was embarrassed, and he knew it very well.

Who told him to be blinded by beauty and do stupid things with a bit of reluctance?

Sending flowers to Huo Yan's new wife would not only lose his reputation but also involve him in more turmoil, which is not worth the loss.

Even if everyone thought that the Huo and Wu families were mortal enemies, as long as they didn't fight each other face to face, they could still maintain superficial calm.

The stable situation of three powers in H City has lasted for too long. It seems that many people are already impatient and want to pull them down, disrupt the situation, and share their flesh and blood.

Many people are unaware of the undercurrents hidden in this. They only know that Mrs. Huo is very skilled. Not only did she win over the difficult younger generations of the Huo family, but even Wu Zheng had to bow down to her.

The profit-seeking businessmen immediately got wind of the situation and quickly came over, surrounding her like a crowd of stars surrounding the moon.

This was definitely not the situation Cheng Yi wanted to see. She bit her lips tightly, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"Okay, what's there to see?" Huo Qianqian shook her hand away. "If you want to watch, keep watching. I'm going to get some fresh air."

He turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Cheng Yi's eyes were filled with more malice.

What are they so proud of? What else do they have to be proud of now? Huo Yan has become a gloomy waste, and the Huo family has fallen into the hands of his brother. Now they all have to rely on the Cheng family!

Did you think it was when Huo Yan was in power? How dare he boss her around and give her orders?

"Let's go." She gritted her teeth, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Let's go and have some fun with Miss Huo Si first."

Also in another corner of the banquet hall, Zhong Shaoyang stared at Ruan Xingchen who was surrounded in the center, feeling both obsessed and regretful.

"Brother, stop looking." Zhong Sisi pulled him and said disdainfully, "So what if you like her? She doesn't care about our Zhong family's wealth. She would rather marry a lame loser than choose you. She's very ambitious and only wants to climb up the social ladder."

"Shut up." Zhong Shaoyang's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly turned around and glared at her: "Don't you dare say that about her!"

"I'm not wrong!" He yelled at her, and Zhong Sisi's eyes turned red. She said angrily, "Who the hell is she? She's so successful now because she's married into the Huo family. She's just a fickle bitch who forgets her principles when she sees profit. What on earth is there that's worth your concern?"

"I told you to shut up!" Zhong Shaoyang clenched his fists and said angrily, "If I hear you say a word about her again, don't blame me for not giving you face here."

There was madness in his eyes.

Zhong Sisi was frightened by his eyes. She bit her lip and tears welled up in her eyes: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. If I don't tell you, she won't belong to you! Sister Li Mian must be blind to fall for you!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran away while wiping her tears.

Zhong Shaoyang's eyes were filled with pain, and he felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

It just so happened that Ruan Xingchen was a little tired, so he took time off to let his younger brothers and sisters go play, and then he found a corner to rest alone.

He found the right moment, took two quick steps forward, grabbed her, and choked with sobs in his voice: "Han Xing."

The familiar voice made Ruan Xingchen subconsciously shake off his hand and take a step back: "Mr. Zhong."

Hearing her unfamiliar tone, Zhong Shaoyang felt a pang of pain in his heart: "Han Xing, do you have to be so cold to me? Aren't we good friends? You..."

How can you be so heartless?

"I thought I'd made myself clear." Her long eyelashes cast shadows on her fair cheeks, making her look distant and cold. "Mr. Zhong, we're not that familiar."

"Han Xing, you were obviously not like this before." Feeling a dull pain in his chest, Zhong Shaoyang couldn't help but walk forward and hold her hand tightly, as if she would leave if he relaxed a little.

"Don't do this to me... please."

The posture is so humble and pitiful.

She once thought that he really loved her.

Ruan Xingchen closed her eyes, hiding the sarcasm in them: "Don't show that look. Can you stop being so lost in your own affection and moving yourself? Zhong Shaoyang, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Maybe at this moment, his love is real. But when he doesn't like it, it's all real too.

Zhong Shaoyang seemed unable to bear it and took two steps back in shock.

"Mrs. Huo." A gentle voice sounded, full of heartache and disapproval: "Shaoyang is also sincere. Even if you don't accept it, you shouldn't trample on it like this."

Ruan Xingchen turned around and saw the person coming. He could hardly restrain the anger that surged up in him.

Li Mian.

She is a childhood sweetheart of Zhong Shaoyang and has always had a crush on him. She is used to pretending to be gentle and considerate.
