Even though everyone knew that these two people had excellent appearances, they were still shocked when they saw them in person. People in this industry had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, but there were very few people who were beautiful and had personalities. However, these two people were lifelike.
The attendant led the two to their seats. Then, Huo Jiuxiao brought Lin Wanli to her seat. Even though most of the attention was on the two of them, Huo Jiuxiao didn’t show any signs of discomfort.
“Look, the Huo Family’s legitimate son who has been wandering outside for ten years has finally returned to the Huo family. I thought that he would feel stage fright at such a place. I didn’t expect him to look so relaxed and noble.”
“Come on, I can only pretend to be calm if I can’t hear you.”
The two people who were discussing were acquaintances with Huo Shengyuan, but the person beside them was different. The young master’s surname was Jin, and he was good friends with Huo Shengyuan overseas. Now that he had returned to China, of course, they would often meet up. After learning about his good friend’s recent situation, Mr. Jin felt indignant for his good friend.
After all, Huo Shengyuan had done too much for the Huo Corporation. Wasn’t it unfair for this married child to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor without giving anything?
This intense disgust reached its peak when he saw Huo Jiuxiao.
However, before he could say anything, he heard a cynical voice say to the person beside him, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone who doesn’t give me a face when they enter the venue. Later, the two of you will look for an opportunity to find trouble with each other.”
Young Master Jin turned his head and saw a ruthless man. He didn’t dare to act rashly because someone would help him deal with Huo Jiuxiao.
Huo Jiuxiao had noticed the dazzling purple hair the moment he entered the venue. However, even though the people in the circle were saying that this person was very skilled, Huo Jiuxiao knew very well that this person was just a paper tiger. Duan Yanxing knew this best because they were old friends. Therefore, he didn’t even look at her. It was also because of this action that the other party saw it as a provocation.
A few minutes later, Huo Jiuxiao lowered his head and whispered into Lin Wanli’s ear, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Lin Wanli was listening carefully to the introduction of the brand. After all, she had a lot of affinity with cars.
Huo Jiuxiao got up from his chair and followed the attendant to the washroom in the palace. At this moment, two men with crew cuts followed Huo Jiuxiao.
What young master of the Huo Corporation? What child? Wouldn’t he be humiliated at the banquet with a swollen face? Or rather, everyone would be able to watch the show soon. Then whose bodyguard had accidentally beaten up a disabled person?
If this matter were to happen to someone else, they would feel ashamed and have to weigh it up. After all, it wouldn’t be good if word got out. What kind of ability was bullying a deaf person? However, it was nothing strange for that Lord Tough. The old, weak, sick, and disabled were all trampled by him.
Just as everyone was waiting to watch the show, they saw Huo Jiuxiao walk in from the corridor normally. There was no injury on his body, not even a strand of his hair was messy.
Those who knew the truth thought that Master Tough’s bodyguards had failed. However, in the next second, they saw the two bodyguards return to Lord Tough’s side with bruises all over their faces.
Mr. Vicious’ surname was Shen. When he saw the bodyguard’s ghastly appearance, he snorted and asked, “You can’t even deal with a deaf person?”
“No, Master Xun, we didn’t expect the other party to be so skilled.” The bodyguard said helplessly, “Moreover, he attacked quickly and ruthlessly. We didn’t have any room to fight back.”
At this moment, Master Xun raised his head and met Huo Jiuxiao’s lazy gaze. There was even a hint of ridicule in his eyes. Was this the standard of a bodyguard?
Shen Xun couldn’t help but slam the table. He then called the attendant over and gave him some instructions. Soon, the attendant walked to Huo Jiuxiao’s side and said to Lin Wanli.
“Young Madam Huo, Master Shen, I’d like to invite you for a drink when you’re free.”
“Master Shen?” Lin Wanli was confused. She frowned and asked the attendant, “Which Master Shen?”
The waiter shifted his gaze and Lin Wanli followed his gaze. Then, she saw Shen Xun raising his glass to Lin Wanli.
Lin Wanli tilted her head in confusion. Then, she revealed a scornful smile. “Go back and tell Master Shen that I don’t like Purple Hair. He’s so ugly.”
After the waiter heard this, his heart began to beat faster because he felt that he might not be able to keep his job. Couldn’t the few of them fight face to face?
Of course, he still conveyed Lin Wanli’s intentions truthfully. After listening, Shen Xun realized that the woman beside Huo Jiuxiao was not a good girl or a blockhead. She was so interesting.
Of course, the little wife was puzzled, so she looked up at her man.
“Enemies?”
Everyone had seen how Shen Xun had flirted with Huo Jiuxiao’s woman in public. If word of this got out, everyone would laugh their heads off. However, Huo Jiuxiao remained calm. He merely curled his finger at the attendant who had sent the message and whispered something into his ear.
“Come and apologize. Otherwise, I don’t mind harassing Shen Jingyi.”
Hearing the name Shen Jingyi, Shen Xun immediately went crazy. He got up from his chair and walked towards Huo Jiuxiao.
Everyone present was shocked by Shen Xun’s actions. The event suddenly came to a halt because no one knew how big of a scene Shen Xun would cause.
However, just as he was about to approach Huo Jiuxiao, a slender arm suddenly stopped him. Immediately after, he saw a nightmare-Duan Yanxing.
In the next second, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he restrained his hostility.
“What’s wrong? He wanted to find trouble with Huo Jiuxiao. When he pressed her down into the sewers, you were still crying and playing in the mud. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Since you want to fight so badly, how about I accompany you
Shen Xun swallowed the saliva in his throat, his expression a little weak.
This was because his family lived in the same courtyard as Duan Yanxing, but he had always been defeated by Duan Yanxing.
Who was Duan Yanxing? A person who didn’t even frown when he knocked someone to death was much more ruthless than someone like him who didn’t seem to be afraid of death.
He had once seen Duan Yanxing hit his enemy with his car. Because that person had killed his sister, Duan Yanxing had directly knocked him three meters away.
From then on, Shen Xun was afraid of Duan Yanxing. However, this person appeared and disappeared unpredictably. After committing a crime, he was severely punished. As a result, he had no way of knowing what happened after that.
Now that he saw that the person was still by Huo Jiuxiao’s side, he suddenly started to feel apprehensive.
“Alright… Brother Xing, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Young Master Huo was your friend.”
Everyone was shocked!
Shen Xun! This was a famous ruthless person in the industry. He lowered his head and apologized to the people around Huo Jiuxiao.
“Apologize. Otherwise, be careful of the things you cherish.”
Upon hearing Duan Yanxing’s reminder, Shen Xun immediately recalled that Huo Jiuxiao had mentioned his beloved, and his heart began to turn cold. Even the demon Duan Yanxing had bowed down to Huo Jiuxiao. It was obvious that this person was even more vicious than Duan Yanxing.
Shen Xun thought of the trauma he had when he was young. He walked up to Huo Jiuxiao and respectfully apologized. “I’m sorry, Master Xiao. I shouldn’t have offended sister-in-law..”
