"Wanwan!"

The veins on Huo Jiuzhou's forehead were throbbing, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was angry.

Only Huo Wanwan ignored him and kept her arms around his waist, refusing to let go.

There was no way to deal with her. When she was willful, she was a hundred times more difficult to deal with than she was back then. The man couldn't bear to blame her, so he could only obey and compromise.

"Okay, get up. I'll give you five minutes."

Seeing that he finally agreed to listen to her, Huo Wanwan finally let go of the hands that were restraining him.

She stood up, brushed off the dust on her princess dress, contentedly took Huo Jiuzhou's arm, and walked out of the meeting room.

Huo Qiye and Chu Zhao looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and consciously made way for the two of them.

"Brother, Zeyi insisted on breaking off the engagement with me and even called me to tell Grandpa. What should I do?"

Huo Jiuzhou brought Huo Wanwan to the fenced balcony outside the senior meeting room.

As the tallest commercial building in the city, you can overlook most of the northern part of the city and enjoy the romantic night scene with lights just coming on.

Unfortunately, such a seductive night scene was ruined by the beauty in front of him because of this little thing.

"Wanwan, do you really have to be with him?"

She cried sadly, and Huo Jiuzhou felt pity and care for her. He stroked her delicate face with his long fingers and helped wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Brother, I have liked Fei Zeyi for eight years. We grew up together and I don't want to give up."

Huo Wanwan swallowed down her grievances and forced herself to calm down.

"Although our relationship wasn't that close before, there weren't any accidents. Ever since Zeyi went to find Shi Rong, everything has changed!"

When talking about Shi Rong, Huo Wanwan couldn't help but show her anger. She stubbornly believed that the reason why she and Fei Zeyi had come to this point today must be that Shi Rong secretly said something to Zeyi behind everyone's back that day at Huating Shengshi, which made him want to break off the engagement with her at all costs.

"Wanwan, I've already told you that Fei Zeyi's matter has nothing to do with Shi Rong."

Huo Jiuzhou's patience, which had long been exhausted, was refilled the moment she mentioned it.

He raised his hand, hugged Huo Wanwan's pretty shoulders, and spoke kindly.

"Besides, it's not like my family hasn't checked for you. They really didn't know each other before."

For the first time in her life, Huo Wanwan angrily pushed away Huo Jiuzhou's long arms even though she knew that he had tried to comfort her.

Her slightly resentful gaze then fell on the man's handsome face, which was rarely seen in the world.

"Is it because big brother still likes Shi Rong that you can't bear to punish her and don't want grandpa to touch her? Is it because as long as this person is Shi Rong, your sister will always have to suffer with her? Big brother, you were not like this before. The person you care about the most should be me, not Shi Rong!"

"Wanwan!"

Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated and her words were getting more and more outrageous, Huo Jiuzhou's headache got worse on the spot.

"This has nothing to do with whether I like Shi Rong or not. You should look for the reasons within yourself instead of blindly blaming others when something goes wrong. That's not your nature. Is it because you can't win Fei Zeyi's heart that you vent your so-called jealousy on Shi Rong, or is there something wrong with Fei Zeyi himself?"

Even though Huo Wanwan is willful, she has a pure and innocent heart that is kind and generous.

She knew that perhaps all this had nothing to do with Shi Rong, but what her sister-in-law said to her made sense.

It takes two hands to clap!

Huo Wanwan just didn't believe that Shi Rong was the kind of woman who was so cruel that she murdered her eldest sister-in-law in order to monopolize her eldest brother. This whole thing had nothing to do with Shi Rong!

But... Huo Jiuzhou's words made her confused for a while. She couldn't answer the man's question, but just bit her lower lip and kept hesitating.

"Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Huo Jiuzhou lowered his eyes, looked at his watch, saw that five minutes were up, and left.

"Follow her."

Before entering, Huo Jiuzhou calmly gave a look to Chu Yu, who was still waiting diligently at the door, and the latter understood.

"Okay boss."

A prosperous and magnificent court.

Shi Rong had just finished the work at hand, returned the cleaning tools to the utility room, straightened her not-so-clean work clothes, and planned to say goodbye to Ai Rou.

While walking in the corridor leading to the manager's office on the 8th floor, he ran into a figure that was both strange and familiar.

The visitor was wearing a light pink tulle princess puffy skirt that reached her knees, and was carrying a limited edition pink Hermès bag.

Her shoulder-length hair was half-tied and tied to one side with a crystal tassel pendant on it. Her small face was quite pretty, with bright eyes and white teeth, and her figure was delicate and exquisite. Her overall look was innocent and beautiful.

However, this girl, who was regarded as the "apple of the palm" and the happy fruit of the Huo family, raised her little hand and slapped Shi Rong in the face the first time she saw her, hitting her left cheek hard where she was wearing a mask, and the words she said were extremely vicious.

"Shi Rong, can you please have some shame? Three years ago, you failed to destroy the relationship between my eldest brother and his wife, and now you're targeting me. What did you say to Zeyi that made him break off the engagement with me? Why would someone like you still show up in our Huo family's territory? You don't deserve to be here! You'd better get out of North City right away, or I'll beat you up the next time I see you!"

Her grand operation caused quite a stir inside the club and attracted a lot of gossipers who were eager to watch the fun.

Shi Rong paused, almost reacting subconsciously.

When no one expected it, she slapped Huo Wanwan's adorable little face with a "snap" sound and without hesitation, slapped her back.

The force was so great that she took three steps back. Her originally fair face turned red in the blink of an eye.

"You dare to hit me!?"

Huo Wanwan was furious. She was clearly the one who made the mistake first, so why did she hit someone?!

Shi Rong's eyes did not show the expected weakness and fear. Instead, he stared back at her without blinking.

"Why don't I dare to hit you? Is it because you are the seventh daughter of the Huo family?"

When she spoke, Huo Wanwan was startled. What kind of unlucky voice was that? Why was it so unpleasant?

The woman didn't care much, and didn't even bother to give her an extra expression. Her tone was calm and strange.

"Huo Wanwan, this is the first time I've said these words today, but it will also be the last time."

"First, if you insist that I'm destroying the relationship between your eldest brother and his wife, then the victim should be your sister-in-law, not you. You should ask her to come and question me in person. There are many things I can't tell you."
