So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

As soon as Miss Mu and her group left, Zhu Lili came up to them.

She looked at her best friend with a gossipy expression:

"Wow, baby, when did you become so close to Huo Shen?"

Xie Junfei awkwardly pushed away her face that was leaning closer.

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

Zhu Lili, however, grabbed her best friend who was itching to escape, and narrowed her eyes warily, saying:

"He looks guilty; there's definitely something fishy going on!"

"That's Huo Shen, a big shot in Beijing's elite circles whom everyone fears. Even my brother treats him with utmost respect!"

"You're something else, you just make a phone call and get them all over to back you up, and you don't consider that a good relationship?"

After saying that, Zhu Lili stroked her chin with a mature air:

"But considering Huo Shen's qualifications, I think he's barely good enough for you."

"It's a pity he's a bit old, but it doesn't matter, he's rich."

Xie Junfei was speechless when she saw that Zhu Lili had actually picked something out.

"Huo Shen hasn't complained about me being poor yet, and you're already complaining about him."

Zhu Lili slapped her thigh and began to lecture her earnestly:

"You just have a very low sense of 'worth it'."

"Think about it, you've only been an adult for a short time, and you've already achieved so many honors?"

"If it weren't for you holding the Qin family together back then, they would have collapsed long ago!"

"We've all witnessed your abilities and methods, and you still say you're not capable?"

"Even if you're kicked out of the Qin family now, those wealthy families in Beijing will never forget you!"

"At the Wang family's party the day before yesterday, more than a dozen wealthy ladies came up to my mother to chat with her, openly and subtly asking her for your contact information, wanting to introduce their sons to you!"

"So don't underestimate yourself. If you want to, there are plenty of people in the industry who will give you money and resources!"

As she spoke, Zhu Lili smiled and shook her head:

"But I still need to go back and talk to my mom. There's no need to give them my contact information now."

"After all, they don't have the same advantages as Huo Shen!"

Xie Junfei felt embarrassed by what she said, but she also realized her own problem.

She underestimated herself.

Whose fault is this? It must be Uncle Huo's!

It's his own fault for not reminding me!

Thinking of this, she immediately took out her phone and began to denounce Huo Shen.

While Zhu Lili was still going on and on praising her best friend, Huo Shen was already bombarded with messages from the little girl.

Huo Shen had never seen anything like this before.

I simply took a screenshot, concealed the privacy settings, and sent it to Dr. Zhao, a veteran doctor, asking my childhood friend what was going on.

Dr. Zhao replied instantly:

"This is from a tea party with my best friend."

"That's how it is with my husband. He wants to break up with his girlfriend as soon as he comes back from chatting with her."

"you are done."

"You should quickly reflect on whether you've done anything wrong recently and go admit your mistake."

"Remember to be sincere, or don't blame me if you end up kneeling on durians."

Even when giving advice to his brothers, he has to mention kneeling on durians.

It's clear that last night's events left a very deep psychological scar on Dr. Zhao.

In order not to repeat the mistake of his childhood friend.

That afternoon, Huo's assistant took the gifts to Tiancheng Private School.

At that time, Xie Junfei and Zhu Lili were sitting in Huo Shen's board of directors office.

Zhu Lili's school said that the second interview would be conducted online, so Xie Junfei specially found a quiet place for her.

Zhu Lili had just finished her interview when the assistant came in, and she was startled to see who it was.

She had met this assistant before. Huo Shen had kept him by his side since he took power. He was outstanding in both ability and presence. Because he represented the Huo family, he was highly respected wherever he went.

Now she watched helplessly as the assistant led a group of people to Xie Junfei's side with respectful expressions, whispering:

"Our CEO Huo said that it was his fault for upsetting Miss Xie today."

"But Mr. Huo is in a meeting today and can't leave, so he asked me to apologize to Miss on his behalf."

"As for Mr. Huo himself, he will come to the school to pick you up as soon as the meeting is over."

After saying that, he turned around, took the gift box from his subordinate, and handed it to Xie Junfei.

Xie Junfei opened it, and inside were things the little girl really liked.

Flowers, jewelry, chocolates.

That's all.

Xie Junfei used her slender fingers to pick out the checkbook placed in the very center.

Turning the pages, every page was covered with Huo Shen's signature in a flamboyant style, except the amounts were left blank.

As if sensing her confusion, the assistant kindly explained:

"Mr. Huo said he had never had a partner before and didn't know what little girls liked."

"Seeing that you used to be in charge of the Qin family, I thought of this gift."

"He has already signed this checkbook. You can fill in any amount you like, anything that makes you happy."

After saying this, the assistant checked his watch, then stood up to say goodbye to Xie Junfei.

As soon as the door to the board of directors' office closed, Zhu Lili took the checkbook from her best friend and flipped through it one by one with wide eyes.

He exclaimed in surprise:

"Holy crap, have I accidentally stumbled into a CEO romance novel?"

"Why doesn't anyone treat me like this, damn it!"

"Baby, I completely agree to this marriage now! Really!"

While Zhu Lili was still in shock, Xie Junfei picked up the ring box hidden among the flowers.

Open it, and inside is a jade thumb ring, its surface emerald green and smooth.

Zhu Lili doesn't handle family affairs, so she might not know.

But Xie Junfei recognized him.

That was something that symbolized the status of the head of the Huo family.

When Mr. Huo handed over the inheritance rights of the Huo family to Huo Shen, the news reports specifically mentioned this thumb ring.

The photographer gave Huo Shen's hand a close-up at the time.

On his long, slender, and sharp hands with distinct joints, he wore a jade thumb ring of emerald green, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

The Huo family is a long-established Shanxi merchant family.

This jade thumb ring has been passed down for hundreds of years. Regardless of its quality, it is priceless in terms of its significance to the Huo family.

The meaning behind Huo Shen giving this to himself is self-evident.

Looking at this hot potato, Xie Junfei felt a mix of emotions.

He was just throwing a little tantrum, but Huo Shen had already used all his trump cards.

Uncle Huo is really lucky to have met her.

If it were someone else, dating could drain their entire fortune.
