Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby

"What's wrong with it? Do you think I have ulterior motives towards her, Uncle Zhang?" Huo Ningxi asked with a faint smile.

"It's getting late. Don't be late, Young Master."

Uncle Zhang maintained his smile as he lowered his head without responding.

But not saying anything was equivalent to agreeing.

Huo Ningxi clenched his fists. The car that was carrying Song Yaoyao had already left. He could only get into another car. With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Uncle Zhang crossed his arms in front of his body and ordered indifferently, "Protect Miss Song well. If she gets hurt, don't come back."

The person beside him shivered and bowed.

...

Recently, there was news that Zhong Li was planning to invest in the mainland, and he was living in a mountain villa in Feng City's famous wealthy district.

Tang Xinrou had already received the news that Song Yaoyao was coming, so she arrived early and waited at the entrance.

As she looked around, she nudged An Feiran with her elbow.

"Don't talk nonsense later, do you hear me?"

The news of Huo Yunque's disappearance was not known by many families. An Feiran had heard some rumors, but he did not know the details. So, after hearing what Tang Xinrou said, he knew what to do. He nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry."

Tang Xinrou watched nervously. When she saw the Huo Family's car from afar, she immediately raised her hands in greeting.

"Yaoyao! Over here! I'm here."

Her actions caused everyone to look at her.

An Feiran looked at everyone apologetically and nodded at them one by one. Then, he looked at Tang Xinrou beside him with a face full of doting and helplessness.

Tang Xinrou pulled An Feiran and quickly walked up, opening the car door for Song Yaoyao.

When Song Yaoyao got out of the car, Tang Xinrou cursed in her heart. She could feel that the entire place was silent for a moment.

"Y-Yaoyao?"

The style of her dress today was too different from her usual style. Tang Xinrou almost couldn't recognize her.

However, she had to admit that it was very sexy. Song Yaoyao completely rocked it.

A shawl was draped loosely over her body. When it slid down, it revealed a small part of her round shoulders. The diamond necklace on her neck reflected a dazzling and charming luster.

Tang Xinrou opened her mouth wide and sized up Song Yaoyao for a few seconds. She suddenly turned around and jumped up to cover An Feiran's eyes. "You're not allowed to look! You're not allowed to look!"

An Feiran: "..." He didn't even look at her clearly.

Song Yaoyao glanced at her speechlessly. She didn't want to watch their display of affection so she calmly said, "You guys continue to flirt. I'll go in first."

"Hey, Yaoyao! Yaoyao, wait for me!"

Tang Xinrou was dumbfounded. She was stunned for a moment and wanted to give herself a slap.

What was she doing? How could he show off their affection in front of Yaoyao?

"Yaoyao! Yaoyao, I was wrong!"

She picked up her skirt and chased after Song Yaoyao. While she was at it, she took the time to glare at An Feiran. "Go play by yourself. Don't appear in front of me!"

After saying this, she ran away.

An Feiran was left standing there in a daze. After a long while, he finally snapped back to reality and touched his nose.

He clearly didn't do anything...

"Tsk, the unreasonable Miss Tang."

With one hand in his pocket, Shen Xun appeared out of nowhere beside An Feiran and teased him lazily.

An Feiran looked at him in silence. "It's because I spoiled her."

And I'm happy to do it.

Shen Xun was stunned for a moment. He sneered. "Are you speaking back at me?"

Ever since he met An Feiran, he had changed more and more. Who would believe that he was someone who had been bullied in the past?

"You're not allowed to speak ill of Tang Tang," An Feiran said seriously.

These words were no different from showing off his affection.

Shen Xun lifted his foot and walked in exasperatedly. "I spoke ill of her? An Feiran, you can continue to spoil her." He had been watching from behind for a long time and saw how unreasonable Tang Xinrou was.

But, of course, he was just casually commenting. What did it have to do with him?

On the other hand, Song Yaoyao had changed a lot.

"Let's go."

He followed behind Song Yaoyao and went in.

All the aristocratic families in the upper class had received invitations from the Zhongli Family.

A hundred years ago, the Zhongli Family was one of the big aristocratic families in China. However, due to an unforeseen event, the whole family moved abroad and they gradually moved their business overseas as well. Thinking about it carefully, it had been decades since they last came back.

This time, Zhong Li wanted to invest in China and even brought some of his overseas business to China. No matter what everyone wanted to do, attending the banquet this time was just a facade. Their true motive was to find out if Zhong Li's rumored plan was true.

While they were at it, they could make some friends.

"How much do you know about Zhong Li?" An Feiran had previously attended activities with An Jun. He had seen that man by chance once and did not know how to describe it. However, An Feiran could tell from the first glance that he was not simple; this man was not simple.

"He is not a good person." Shen Xun narrowed his eyes and stood away from the crowd. He looked at Song Yaoyao, who was soon surrounded by many people and slowly spat out these few words.

"I think so too."

An Feiran expressed his opinion and said in a low voice, "He's very powerful. He annexed several companies as soon as he returned to the country and he's very arrogant."

He didn't know what his next plan was, but he had to say that Zhong Li's move was too sharp. An Feiran was sure that he knew how much attention his actions attracted.

The country had been stable for many years; the aristocratic families cooperated and competed fairly. In short, no one liked the other, but no one could bring down the other.

Therefore, everything was peaceful. However, Zhong Li had suddenly returned to the country and interfered.

An Feiran sighed. "The weather in the country is going to change."

Moreover, something had happened to Mr. Huo.

He did not know if Zhong Li knew about this or not. If he knew, why did he send the invitation to the Huos? Was he deliberately trying to see Song Yaoyao's condition?

Shen Xun's eyes darkened. He did not refute An Feiran's words.

If Huo Yunque was still around, he would not be worried about these things. Although Zhong Li was arrogant, it was not enough to threaten the top aristocratic families.

However, if something happened to Huo Yunque, he might not be able to suppress him.

An Feiran sighed and looked up at the banquet crowd.

Everyone was well-dressed and looked so materialistic.

He looked at Huo Ningxi, who was raising his glass and talking to the people around him, and suddenly smiled.

An Feiran's abnormal behavior also attracted Shen Xun's attention. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Ningxi, and sneered, "He must be happy."

The few families that he was on good terms with all learned that Huo Yunque was in danger but they kept it a secret from the elders. Even he had found out about it by accident.

Everyone knew what would happen if Huo Yunque got into an accident. With him around, he was like a stabilizing needle in the Chinese business world. However, if something happened to him, no one would be able to suppress those who were crazy for profits. The Huos had a huge business empire; of course, everyone wanted to take a bite out of it.

However...

They had to have the capability or they'd only end up shooting themselves in the foot.

"Of course he's happy. If Mr. Huo..." An Feiran said in a low voice, "Then he is the next head of the family."
