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

Early autumn is approaching in Beijing, but spring is in full bloom in the VIP ward.

Just as the two, having resolved their misunderstandings, were snuggling together, reluctant to part, a familiar voice came from outside the half-open hospital room door.

It was a gentle, smiling female voice.

Although the vocal cords are inevitably eroded by the years, one can still hear the person's pampered lifestyle over the years.

Xie Junfei had met Aunt Huo before. Upon hearing that voice, she quickly pushed the man away and hurriedly straightened her clothes and jewelry.

Huo Shen, however, leaned against the bed with a satisfied look on his face. His handsome and bright profile made it impossible to tell that he was a patient who had just been stabbed.

He watched Xie Junfei frantically trying to smooth out the wrinkles on her petal-shaped skirt and couldn't help but chuckle.

The girl, instantly enraged by the laughter, punched the man on the shoulder without caring whether he was hurt or not.

The man immediately became obedient after being hit.

Aunt Huo, standing outside the ward, seemed to have been stopped in her tracks by her assistant. The assistant said something to her, and her gentle, pleasant voice immediately changed tone:

"Go and tell that good-for-nothing Huo Qi a message! Tell him it was me who said this!"

"If he dares to lay a hand on the Huo family again while my son is sick, I'll send him to Africa to plant baobab trees! I mean it!"

Xie Junfei shuddered violently at the sound, and Huo Shen patted her hand, signaling her to relax.

The next second, Aunt Huo pushed open the door and entered, wearing a dark green cheongsam, her thick black hair tied up behind her head and secured with a wooden hairpin.

She was extremely beautiful, and ever since she married Huo Shen's father, Huo Mingqian, she has been pampered and cherished.

Despite being nearly fifty years old, her eyes remain as bright and clear as a young girl's.

Even though Xie Junfei had just met her before, he still couldn't help but sigh that "time cannot defeat a beauty."

Looking at the woman who bore a slight resemblance to Huo Shen, Xie Junfei obediently lowered her head and greeted her:

"Hello, Aunt Huo."

Before Aunt Huo could say anything, she heard her son, sitting on the hospital bed, speak in a lazy yet slightly mocking tone:

"Why are you still calling me 'Auntie'?"

Xie Junfei tensed up immediately, glancing back at Huo Shen with a hint of reproach, making the man's heart itch as if being scratched by a cat.

Mrs. Huo immediately pointed a finger at her son, with a hint of threat:

"Don't embarrass that young girl, you brat. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you two?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Huo diligently helped Xie Junfei up, took the girl's hand and looked her up and down, her eyes full of admiration:

"Good boy, call me whatever you want, don't listen to Huo Shen's nonsense!"

Xie Junfei hadn't expected Huo's mother to be so easy to get along with, and blushed as she greeted her softly:

"Mother."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huo was immediately satisfied:

"Oh! My dear daughter!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, who was dressed up as beautifully as a fresh spring onion, Mrs. Huo was extremely satisfied.

She obtained all of Xie Junfei's information while on the plane.

Born into a respectable family, she was upright and honest, yet not confined to the inner quarters of a traditional household, and her achievements in the business world are well-documented.

Even in academics, his grades were among the best, no wonder he was able to get the Huo family scholarship from Huo Shen.

This outstanding girl, apart from being a little younger, is exactly the same as I was back then.

Thinking of this, she looked up at her good-for-nothing son and reluctantly gave the brat a friendly look.

No wonder she refused to find a partner for an arranged marriage before; she never expected to find such a wonderful treasure for herself!

Looking across Beijing, Shanghai, and even the Jiangnan region, Xie Junfei is the only girl who can grow up to be as outstanding as her.

As for not having a good family background? That's not a problem at all!

I heard that this little girl has several older brothers.

Her Huo family has plenty of resources, connections, and money; they could easily produce a successful older brother to be this girl's backer!

The more a mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law, the more pleasing she becomes.

Aunt Huo smiled and took Xie Junfei's hand, casually slipping a jade bracelet from her wrist and placing it on Xie Junfei's wrist.

"Good child, this is the first time Mommy has officially met you, so consider this bracelet a gift for our first meeting."

"When you're a little older, Mom will take you back to the old house and let your dad and elders give you something even better."

Xie Junfei glanced down at the bracelet and instinctively felt that it was quite valuable.

Previously, when she was at the Qin family's house, she went to Poly Auction to bid for Qin Yu'er's wedding gift.

I have seen other collectibles of similar quality to this bracelet.

An imperial green jadeite bangle made from old mine glass-type jadeite was eventually sold for HK$60 million.

Looking at the deep green hue on her wrist, Xie Junfei secretly felt that the bracelet's value could only be higher.

The gift was valuable, and the girl opened her eyes wide, seeking help from Huo Shen. Huo Shen, however, smiled and said:

"We're all family, so just accept what Mom gave you."

Xie Junfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and obediently thanked Mrs. Huo with her eyes lowered.

Mrs. Huo looked at her son with a hint of reproach:

"Huo Shen, why do I need your permission to give my daughter-in-law things?"

As she spoke, Huo's mother recalled the first time she met Xie Junfei, when Xie Junfei had nothing on him except a simple school uniform.

Then I think back to when I was dating Huo Mingqian.

Huo Mingqian's doting and attentive manner towards his son, showering him with gifts and favors, only fueled his growing resentment towards his son.

"You have to be willing to spend money when you're in a relationship. Give Junfei more gifts, you hear me?"

"Look at Xiao Xie, she doesn't have any jewelry on her. If people see her like this, they'll think the Huo family is going bankrupt tomorrow!"

Huo Shen smiled and followed his mother's words, apologizing to his young daughter.

Xie Junfei wanted to defend Huo Shen, but then she heard Huo's mother ask another question:

"Where is Xiao Xie staying now? The hospital smells like disinfectant. Tell Xiao Xie not to stay here and suffer with you."

Upon hearing his mother's question, Huo Shen's smile froze.

No one knows a child better than their mother, and Mrs. Huo immediately sensed that something was wrong:

"You brat, tell the truth, and Mom won't scold you."

Huo Shen said a place with difficulty.

This is the address of the rental house where the Xie family lives.

Mrs. Huo's family was also from the capital, so she immediately recognized the location and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Huo Shen, you're letting your fiancée live in this run-down place? Are you going to go bankrupt, or is the Huo family going to go bankrupt?!"

"Even your father has never had such a shabby relationship! You're going to disgrace the entire Huo family!"

Before Xie Junfei could explain, Huo's mother grabbed her hand:

"My dear daughter, tell me the truth, did Huo Shen use psychological manipulation on you?"

"Otherwise, if he's so old and doesn't spend money on you, letting you live in a run-down house, would you still be willing to stay with him?"

Xie Junfei hurriedly shook her head, trying to defend Huo Shen:

"No, Mom, Uncle Huo is very good to me!"

“It’s my own choice not to leave! My brothers are very good to me, and I can’t abandon them.”

Upon hearing this, Huo's mother ignored her son's green face and waved her hand dismissively:

"No way! How can a daughter-in-law of the Huo family live in a place like that? Why should she, with so much money, humiliate herself like this!"

"You're reluctant to leave your brothers, aren't you? Then let's all go together!"

When she was young, Huo's mother was a shrewd and capable businesswoman. She asked Xie Junfei for her eldest brother's contact information and prepared to discuss the move.

To show her sincerity, Huo's mother personally called and invited her eldest brother out.

Upon hearing that it was an elder, the eldest brother could only put aside his anger at his own beautiful cabbage being eaten by a pig and quickly agreed.

The meeting was scheduled for an hour later. Aunt Huo lovingly touched Xie Junfei's face, unable to get enough of looking at him.

"Good boy, Mommy really loves you."

"My mother always dreamed of having a daughter, but unfortunately, fate was not on her side, and she gave birth to Huo Shen, this troublesome devil."

"From now on, you are my daughter. If Huo Shen bullies you in the future, you can come to me and complain!"

"Mom will back you up!"

Xie Junfei nodded with gratitude, and Huo's mother stood up with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he gave Huo Shen a look that seemed to warn him:

"I'll deal with you after I get back from meeting my in-laws."
