Huo Yaqing took a deep look at her, and asked calmly: "Actually, I'm curious, how did my father help you until you came here?"

Ming Xi pursed her lips.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious." Huo Yaqing sighed, "After all, the Huo family is not far behind, and fewer and fewer people are willing to come to my father."

Ming Xi nodded, expressing her understanding.

When she was thinking about what words to use to ambiguously, there was a commotion outside.

Thinking of Shen Tinglu's arrival, Ming Xi frowned deeply.

She didn't care about responding to Huo Yaqing's words, and strode out anxiously.

Huo Yaqing stared at her back, her eyes flickered with a faint light.

After Mingxi left, Gu Xueer came over, "Mom, don't you have a lot of things to deal with today? Why did you let an outsider in?"

"Xue'er, I need your help with something."

……

When Ming Xi walked out of the house, she saw a large group of people at the gate of the manor had already huddled into a ball.

Looking around, Shen Tinglu was standing not far away.

He stood there quietly, with the bodyguards standing in front of him, isolating him from those who rushed to make trouble.

The man put his hands in his suit trouser pockets casually, his angular handsome face showed no expression, his eyes were indifferent, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if the farce in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.

As if aware of her gaze, Shen Tinglu raised his eyes and cast his gaze in her direction accurately.

The four eyes met, and Ming Xi's heart felt even heavier.

"Stop...stop." Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, she had no choice but to speak.

But these people in Huo's family regard her as an outsider, and they are still devoting themselves to the fight, so no one pays attention to her words.

On the contrary, Shen Tinglu suddenly stepped forward with long legs.

The bodyguards standing in front of him looked worried, "Boss Shen?"

The man quickly calmed down, his eyes fixed on Ming Xi's face, as if she was the only one left in his world.

"Shen Tinglu, did you come here on purpose to mess things up today?" A middle-aged man from the Huo family saw him walking over without any fear, and glared at him dissatisfied.

The others were also aggressive, but only then raised their fists, and after feeling the aura on his body, they couldn't help but backed away, recognizing a way for him.

The scene became weird for a moment. The people who had been wrestling together just now retreated to both sides, and the voices of dissatisfaction gradually decreased and gradually returned to calm.

Shen Tinglu just walked forward unimpeded, only the sound of his steady footsteps was left around.

Ming Xi watched him walking towards her step by step, her heart was beating wildly.

When he was two steps away from her, his footsteps stopped for a moment, but fortunately, he continued walking three seconds later.

Ming Xi heaved a long sigh of relief when the man walked behind her.

When the Huo family saw Shen Tinglu enter the living room, their dissatisfied voice sounded again: "What should we do now? Just let him in like this?"

"Stop him quickly, today is the old man's funeral, if he messes up the place, wouldn't our Huo family be completely unable to hold their heads up in the future!"

"But who is going to let it go?"

Finally, when the man asked, no one dared to say anything.

They are all dissatisfied with Shen Tinglu, but they are also clear about the current status of that man, no one wants to be the first bird at this time.

Ming Xi looked at the reactions of these people and shook her head imperceptibly.

These people showed this attitude when facing Shen Tinglu, which proved that it was the same in other interest occasions. No wonder the Huo family became a mess.

But she didn't pay much attention to these people, and turned back to the living room.

Shen Tinglu stood in front of the coffin, took the flowers handed by his subordinates, and respectfully placed them beside the coffin.

"Shen Tinglu! Why do you have to be hypocritical here!" Gu Xueer walked over with a cold face, reaching out to push him.

The bodyguard stopped her in time.

Seeing Shen Tinglu's expressionless face, Ming Xi frowned deeply.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xueer was a girl, how could this man have allowed Gu Xueer to stand here in good health.

"Let me go!" Gu Xueer struggled, but because of her limited strength, she couldn't break free from the restraints of those bodyguards.

She quickly glanced at Huo Yaqing who was standing in the corner, immediately grabbed the mineral water bottle at the side, and slammed it in Mingxi's direction.

Because all the bodyguards were focused on protecting Shen Tinglu, there was no one around Mingxi.

The bodyguards were hesitating to rush over to protect her, but in a blink of an eye, a figure rushed over ahead of them and blocked Mingxi.

boom!
The bottle of mineral water was full, and it hit the man hard, and then fell to his feet with a clang.

"Mr. Shen!" The bodyguards turned pale with fright when they saw this scene.

Shen Tinglu casually glanced at the bottle of mineral water that fell at his feet, his expression unchanged.

Ming Xi was also stunned, staring at his back in disbelief.

"Xue'er, you are too presumptuous!" Huo Yaqing finally came out at this moment, and reprimanded Gu Xueer with a cold face, "I have already said that the person who comes is just a guest, you go back to the room immediately!"

Seeing her eyes flashing towards her quickly, Gu Xueer pretended to be wronged, pursed her lips and walked towards the room.

"I agree, you're leaving?" The man's cold voice resounded throughout the living room.

Gu Xueer couldn't help but stop, and looked at Huo Yaqing for help.

Huo Yaqing's eyes flickered, she looked at Shen Tinglu and said with a smile: "I'm spoiled Xue'er, she doesn't care about things, I hope you don't care about her like a girl."

She walked in front of Ming Xi, her voice was still gentle, "Today is her grandfather's funeral, so she will be more sensitive when seeing outsiders, Miss Ming should understand?"

Ming Xi frowned slightly, and looked at the woman in front of her seriously again.

Although she spoke nicely, every word and every word was to excuse Gu Xueer.

She pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

If it was before, she certainly couldn't just let it go.

But now she already knows that Huo Yaqing is her real aunt, and Gu Xueer is her real cousin...

"Oh——" Shen Tinglu sneered, with a sarcastic expression, "No matter how young she is, she is already an adult. Does she still not understand what is polite?"

Huo Yaqing looked back and forth between him and Mingxi, and pulled her lips, "It's rare to see Mr. Shen supporting others like this. It seems that Miss Ming knew you before?"

The people of the Huo family have already come in, and they also saw what happened just now.

Hearing her words now, it suddenly dawned on her.

Yes!

When did this cold-blooded and ruthless man say that for an outsider?

Because Mingxi has kept a low profile these years, even if she hadn't divorced him before, she rarely appeared in public as Young Mistress Shen, so it was inevitable that many people would not recognize her.

The people present stared at her for a long time, and someone found a rare photo of her and Shen Tinglu attending the party together on their mobile phones.

"So she is Mingxi! She is Shen Tinglu's wife!" The man pointed at Mingxi and shouted in surprise.

It's been a long time since I heard the name 'Shen Tinglu's wife', Ming Xi looked a little dazed.

In fact, the two of them have been divorced for a long time, but Shen Tinglu has not released the news of the divorce, so not many people know about their divorce.

But just such an identity is enough to make those people change the way they look at her.

"The couple came here together today! What are their intentions!"

"Just now they pretended not to know each other at all, could it be to confuse us?"

"They must be planning something in secret. Let's drive them away quickly, or the old man's funeral today will not be able to go on!"

"..."

Listening to the noisy voices around, Ming Xi was in a mess.

The way she looked at Huo Yaqing became complicated.

Obviously Shen Tinglu was not in a hurry to expose her identity today, but why did Huo Yaqing ask such leading questions.

Is it unintentional or intentional?
The expression on Shen Tinglu's face was not too turbulent at first, but now that he heard that those people were going to drive Ming Xi away, his handsome face was immediately covered with a layer of haze.

Huo Yaqing felt his gradually cold and sharp eyes, and said to the others in embarrassment: "No matter what their status is, at least they haven't caused trouble here, why should we look at them with colored glasses."

She paused, and said to Shen Tinglu: "When is the time for retribution? Although the Huo and Chen families have not resolved their enmity for many years, if you are here to see my father off today, I welcome it."

The rest of the Huo family had more opinions, and Huo Yaqing's tone became completely cold, "Although my elder brother, sister-in-law and my husband passed away early, the Huo family has been supported by my father all these years. Today is my father's funeral, you guys Still want him to leave in peace? If anyone dares to continue making trouble, don't blame me for being rude in the future!"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that most of the Huo family's property was still in her hands, they could only shut up.

Ming Xi took a deep look at her and didn't say anything more.

Until the end of the funeral, she still stood at the gate of Huo's Manor for a long time, unwilling to leave.

Huo Yaqing brought a cup of hot tea to her in person, and said in an apologetic voice, "I'm really sorry that I made you laugh today."

Shen Tinglu came over, and said with a half-smile, "Ms. Huo really demonstrated the nature of a double-faced person to the fullest."

After the words fell, Huo Yaqing's face froze.

Ming Xi looked at the cup of tea she brought over, and didn't rush to pick it up, and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll take my leave first."

She ignored Huo Yaqing's more embarrassing appearance and left with a blank expression.

Shen Tinglu was right.

If it weren't for what Huo Yaqing said just now, how could the Huo family know her identity and prepare to drive her out.

As a result, from the beginning to the end, it was Huo Yaqing who smoothed things over again, typical of singing bad faces and then red faces.

Huo Yaqing watched her figure go away, stared down at the cup of tea in her hand and smiled, "It seems hard to be a good person."

"It should be said that the nature is hard to change." Shen Tinglu exposed it without losing face.
