"Of course, no problem." Aunt Huo's face tightened slightly, and she smiled and said, "I'll arrange it right away."

"My wife has already given it up, so naturally I can't not express my gratitude." Huo Yan also took off the watch on his wrist and placed it next to her diamond earrings: "Take this one with you."

Cheng Yi took the tray and said with a smile: "Just leave it to me."

Ruan Xingchen pushed Huo Yan into the venue.

The two of them were both outstanding in appearance and temperament, and they became the focus of the crowd as soon as they entered the door.

Cheng Min, who was chatting and laughing with others, looked slightly gloomy and walked quickly forward to greet them.

Then, with eyes full of concern, he said, "It's great that my cousin can come. He has been staying indoors for a while now, and I was really worried."

"Really?" Huo Yan raised his eyes, his dark gaze fixed on him. After a while, he said calmly, "Thank you for your concern."

"Now that my cousin is well again, isn't it time for him to come back to the company?" Cheng Min smiled, with a probing look in his eyes: "Everyone feels a little uneasy when my cousin is not in charge of the company."

"You did very well."

Huo Yan lowered his eyes, said a few words, and then stopped responding.

His hair was not fixed, and the slightly longer hair on his forehead fell down in front of his eyes, obscuring his subtle expression and adding a bit of gloom.

Cheng Min narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to take a closer look but couldn't. He couldn't help but frown, feeling confused and uncertain.

He felt a sense of foreboding and said subconsciously, "The shareholders' meeting will be held soon. Cousin must attend then."

He has been acting president for some time and has won over many shareholders.

This shareholders' meeting is his first step towards completely controlling the Huo Group.

If Huo Yan was not present, the joy of victory would be diminished.

Looking at his current state, I'm afraid he has already been deeply troubled by drugs... There was some excitement in Cheng Min's eyes.

I don’t know, when he sees that all the shareholders have abandoned him and supported himself, will he get furious on the spot?

His eyes made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but frown, his expression cold: "We'll talk about these things later. Compared to work, Huo Yan needs to relax more during this period. I believe Mr. Cheng can understand, right?"

Of course he could understand.

Cheng Min smiled gentlemanly: "Yes, cousin's health is the most important. But..."

He deliberately showed a hesitant look, as if he was about to say something but stopped himself.

Huo Yan has always been a workaholic who is devoted to his career. I don’t believe he won’t take the bait after seeing his behavior.

Need to relax? Cheng Min sneered secretly. How could he give this opportunity?

We must take advantage of your illness to kill you with one strike.

"What's wrong?" As expected, Huo Yan raised his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes: "Is there a problem?"

The lights in the banquet hall were bright, but they were all swallowed up by his eyes, leaving only a bottomless darkness.

Under his gaze, Cheng Min felt a chill all over his body, as if all his thoughts and calculations were seen clearly, and he even felt a little timid for a moment.

Timid? How could it be possible?

He is no longer the Mr. Huo who is admired by everyone and is a big shot in the business world!

He's just a useless guy with crippled legs! Why would he be afraid?

It must be because he has a mental problem that his eyes become strange, which causes him to have such a reaction.

Secretly comforting himself in his heart, Cheng Min frowned in feigned worry: "Cousin, you haven't been to the company for a while, and the shareholders are quite dissatisfied. Even if I explain on your behalf, no one can really understand."

He sighed softly: "The shareholders have raised the question of the position of President Huo..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something and smiled to hide his mistake: "Hey, look at me, why are you saying all this? Don't take it to heart, cousin. Don't worry, I'll be fine as long as I'm here."

If Huo Yan had really been taking those drugs and was in a state of depression and extremism, how would he react when he heard these words?

There was pure coldness in Ruan Xingchen's beautiful eyes, and she clenched her fists.

I really want to punch this villain in the head.

Sensing her emotions, Huo Yan felt a little warm in his heart. He took her hand and shook his head at her.

"Cheng Min, what are you doing here?" At this time, a familiar female voice sounded.

Fan Wanqing, with her curvy figure and wearing a black off-shoulder evening gown, looked sexy and charming, and came over, bringing a gust of fragrance.

Passing Cheng Min, her eyes fell on him, and for a moment she was extremely complicated: "You, you are Brother Shen?"

Brother Shen?

This ambiguous and pretentious name made Ruan Xingchen raise one eyebrow and curl his lips meaningfully.

Huo Yan frowned, his expression was extremely cold: "Who are you?"

"Brother Chen, don't you remember me?" Fan Wanqing was a little excited. She took two steps forward in her high heels, her eyes slightly red. "I, I am Wanqing... Have you forgotten? When we were little, you promised to marry me when I grew up!"

As he said this, he disregarded his manners and squatted down in front of his wheelchair.

"Oh." Ruan Xingchen smiled lightly, his eyes passing over Cheng Min, whose face suddenly darkened, and said meaningfully: "They are childhood sweethearts."

For a moment, it seemed as if there was some green above my head.

"I don't remember." Huo Yan's attitude was cold, not like he was talking to a charming beauty, but as if he was talking to a stone: "Stay away from me, I'm allergic to perfume."

He dodged her hand that was about to shake it, and maneuvered his wheelchair backwards as if avoiding the plague.

Fan Wanqing stopped where she was in embarrassment, her face pale and blue.

"Miss Fan's family has been developing overseas for many years, and she just returned to China with her father and brother." Cheng Min adjusted his expression, stepped forward to help her up, and explained in a gentle voice: "Fan Shi plans to return to China to develop her career. It's normal that my cousin hasn't paid attention to these things recently, so it's normal that he doesn't know."

"Brother Chen." Fan Wanqing bit her lip, as if she had suffered a great blow, tears in her eyes were about to fall.

It makes Huo Yan look like a heartless man.

There was a hint of crying in her voice, and she whispered: "I have always missed Brother Shen when I was abroad. It doesn't matter if you don't remember me. I will visit you often in the future!"

Her eyes were glued to Huo Yan, filled with indescribable tenderness, deep affection.

Huo Yan remained unmoved, his face cold and hard as he said, "No need. My wife is very busy and may not have time to receive you."

Fan Wanqing finally woke up from her dream, looked up at Ruan Xingchen, her face turned pale, and she bit her lip in embarrassment.

She had embarrassed herself so much at the Gu family's banquet that she hadn't left the house for several months and had lost contact with her former sisters.

Now that she had finally come out again, seeing Ruan Xingchen reminded her of the embarrassment of having to apologize in public on stage.

Even so, she pursed her lips stubbornly, showing her determination: “It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to find Madam Huo, I’m going to find Brother Shen.”
