After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Mr. Huo's birthday banquet was held at a five-star hotel under the Huo Group, and the entire small building where the banquet hall was held was specially contracted.

The first floor serves as the main venue for birthday banquets, while the second floor is divided into several boxes for temporary rest and emergency events.

When Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng arrived, there were already many guests at the birthday banquet.

Looking around, many people are prominent figures in Beijing circles, spanning both political and business circles.

Huo Jingcheng deliberately put on his previous mask when he went out today.

Although Zhu Jin didn't understand his intention, he still respected his choice and ideas.

Assistant Chen helped push the wheelchair, while Zhu Jin stood beside Huo Jingcheng.

Others might not recognize Huo Jingcheng when they saw him wearing a mask, but no one would fail to recognize Assistant Chen standing behind him, so many people came up to say hello.

Zhu Jin recognized the identities of these people from the information given by Assistant Chen, but she could not talk to them and could only stand aside and listen to the conversation between these people and Huo Jingcheng.

"Second Master, long time no see."

"Yes, you are wearing a mask, I can hardly recognize you."

There was a hint of flattery in their words.

Huo Jingcheng just hummed the word "um" lightly and didn't say much.

"Second Master, when do you plan to return to the Huo Group, we can hold a banquet for you to celebrate."

This sentence is a clear test.

"Second Master is still recovering and has no plans to return to the Huo Group in the short term." Assistant Chen answered helpfully.

The two people who asked the question looked at each other.

"Oh oh oh, then Second Master, take a good rest. When you are well, it will be too late to return to the Huo family."

Afterwards, the two people said a few polite words and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Zhu Jinxiu frowned slightly.

The performance of these two people was too obvious, she could see it, let alone Huo Jingcheng.

Probably because he felt that Huo Jingcheng had no use value and was too lazy to continue talking.

As they walked forward, Zhu Jin and Huo Jingcheng met many people who had the same plan as the two people just now.

Zhu Jin felt increasingly unhappy for Huo Jingcheng.

She and Huo Jingcheng went to the sofa to rest and looked around.

Most of the guests, except those who gathered together in twos and threes to chat, most of them gathered around the other three rooms of the Huo family.

Especially Huo Anan and Huo Xiuxiu have the most people around them.

Except for the people who came to say hello before, no one came to see Huo Jingcheng again.

She knew that there were many people in this circle who looked down on others and supported others, but she didn't expect it to be so obvious.

Zhu Jin was feeling angry about Huo Jingcheng when someone covered her hand, grabbed it and kneaded it twice.

"Why are you pouting?" Huo Jingcheng asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Zhu Jin quickly pursed his lips, "I'm not in a bad mood and pout."

"Yes, yes, you didn't." Huo Jingcheng's voice contained a rare doting tone.

Zhu Jin's ears turned slightly red and he glared at the other person in annoyance. What did this coaxing tone mean?

While the two were talking, Mr. Huo was helped downstairs by the old housekeeper.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo was wearing a black Tang suit today, holding a round and green bracelet in his hand. He walked slowly down the stairs. He looked around, smiled and nodded at everyone.

Even when he was very old, no one here dared to disrespect this old man who could make the whole capital shake with his stamp of his feet. On the contrary, they respected him even more.

"Hello everyone." Mr. Huo raised his hand and waved to everyone.

"I'm glad that everyone took time out of their busy schedules to attend my birthday party."

"I'm glad old man."

Mr. Huo spoke very slowly, but every word was very clear.

“I would like to extend my warmest welcome and heartfelt thanks to you all for coming.”

With that said, Mr. Huo took the wine glass from the old butler's hand and raised it high, "Let us raise our glasses together and celebrate this moment."

Everyone raised their wine glasses and saluted from afar.

I don’t know who took the lead in celebrating, and everyone got back together.

Voices from all directions converged into one voice.

"I wish Mr. Huo good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."

The smile on Mr. Huo's face became more genuine.

After finishing a glass of wine, Mr. Huo was helped to sit on the main seat.

Huo Zhigao led Huo Sitong and Huo Siyuan forward, each holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in their hands.

"Dad, I wish you good health and all the best." Huo Zhigao's blessing was simple and plain, with a genuine smile on his honest face.

Huo Sitong and Huo Siyuan said in unison, "Wish grandpa a long life, happy birthday grandpa!"

"Hey, okay, okay."

The servant waiting beside him helped take the gift, while another servant read out the list that had been registered long ago.

"Two gold, jade and agate brave beasts."

"A pearl and jade tree."

The name of the gift announced made many people gasp.

Even if you don't see the gift owner, you can guess that this gift must be expensive.

Zhu Jin walked with Huo Jingcheng to Mr. Huo.

She could hear the whispers coming from the people around her.

"The second son of the Huo family seems to be really useless."

"Yes. Which family would choose a cripple as their heir? I'm afraid they have to choose from the other three families."

"Oh, what a pity. I originally thought that this Huo family was destined to be the second wife of the Huo family, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen."

Zhu Jin subconsciously looked towards Huo Jingcheng.

The man wore a mask on his face, so she couldn't see what he was thinking at all. She could only feel his emotions from his clenched hands.

"Second brother, why are you still wearing a mask on this special day?" Mr. Huo said dissatisfied, "Take off the mask, you won't feel bored."

"Yes." The man's deep voice sounded even duller from behind the mask.

At this order, the whispers of many people around gradually became louder.

"Didn't I hear that Mr. Huo's face was disfigured before?"

"You haven't heard about it! Didn't the media secretly take photos of it? How can you see that face?"

"Then Mr. Huo is not afraid of disappointing Mr. Huo by doing this?"

"Who knows."

The unfriendly voice made Zhu Jin frown in displeasure.

She didn't like what these people were saying.

"King Williams' Star of the Sea Scepter, sixteenth century."

Assistant Chen held the congratulatory gifts that he had prepared in advance.

The scepter is placed in a transparent display box, and its brilliance is not hidden even in the box.

Many people craned their necks and stood on tiptoes to get a look at this legendary scepter.

You know, this is a priceless treasure!

"Okay, okay." Mr. Huo gently stroked the display box with his hand and said with a smile, "Jingcheng is interested."

Just as he was enjoying himself, an inappropriate voice sounded next to him.

"Zhu Jin, you didn't prepare any gifts, did you?"
