Mother Huo looked at Fan Wenxin again.

She really wanted to get back at him, but she had to attend the Li family's dinner after all.

In that kind of place, facing Madam Li, she was a little terrified. If Fan Wenxin hadn't spoken up for her at the last banquet, she would have been even more embarrassed, and she didn't know how bad her situation would have been.

But the dumb woman could have clearly said that she didn't receive a word and that the gold bracelet belonged to the Huo family's gold shop, but she refused to do so, making herself be laughed at!

When Mrs. Huo thought of Ling Zhao, she hated him even more.

"With Wen Xin accompanying me, it's just a meal, nothing will happen. I'm not going to the banquet to quarrel with Mr. Qin, isn't it for you?"

Mother Huo coughed lightly and put on airs: "The Huo family has reached this point now. We need a mistress who can represent the Huo family and socialize with those powerful and famous people. Can Ling Zhao do this?"

"Oh, she is good at flirting with others, and she will hurt you! The reputation of the Huo family must not be handed over to her!"

Mrs. Huo still remembered what Mrs. Xu said.

Madam Xu said that Ling Zhao was remembered by the Li family, which showed that she was already capable of standing on her own. Not only did she have her own career, but her career was also very suitable for interacting with celebrities. If she was given two more years of experience, she would be the real mistress of the Huo family.

Madam Xu told her to leave the Huo family to Ling Zhao and enjoy her life in peace.

How can she enjoy peace of mind when there is a woman who wants to harm her son all the time?

She couldn't sleep well at night, as she always dreamed of a knife pointing at her son.

The mute was vicious. Old Huo had injured her throat, and she had been holding a grudge against him ever since. She wanted to wait until the Huo family reached the top, then kill Yi Xiu and enjoy the glory alone!

Huo Yixiu looked at Fan Wenxin, and there was something more in his eyes.

Fan Wenxin smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Huo, I'm just here to help you choose clothes. How can I go to the banquet with you? Madam Li didn't invite me. I'm just Yixiu's secretary, not a member of the Huo family."

Mother Huo pulled her, shook her hand tightly, patted the back of her hand and said, "I have never treated you as an outsider. The Huo family has gone through ups and downs over the years. How many things have you helped to deal with?"

"You even worry about Yishan's study abroad. You are Yixiu's secretary, but you are half of the housekeeper of the Huo family. Everyone outside knows it, and Madam Li should also understand your importance to the Huo family."

She paused, glanced at Huo Yixiu, and added: "...heavier than Ling Zhao!"

"How about this, Madam Li is talking about inviting the entire Huo family to dinner. Yishan hasn't returned yet, so you go on behalf of Yishan, okay?"

Huo Yixiu pursed his lips and stared at Fan Wenxin quietly, his eyes slightly cold.

Fan Wenxin had never seen such a look on Huo Yixiu's face.

This look made her panic and fear.

What does he mean?

Do you think it was she who instigated his mother to go to the banquet?

Although she wanted to go a little, the Li family's family dinner might not be good for her...

Fan Wenxin's eyes turned slightly, and she said to Mrs. Huo, "Auntie, it's not appropriate for me to go. In fact, I think it's meaningless for you to go. It's just a meal and some topics about the project. If you don't understand, it's boring to sit there."

Mrs. Huo opened her mouth and said anxiously, "You little girl..." Fan Wenxin comforted her and pressed the back of her hand. "Mrs. Li invited me to this meal. In the final analysis, she wanted to apologize to the Huo family on behalf of her nephew."

"Yi Xiu went and accepted Qin Zhan's apology, which saved the Huo family's face. You didn't attend, but you put on a higher profile and suppressed him. This is how the game works in the circle of famous and powerful people. Auntie, you have to look up to others and don't lower your status."

Mother Huo frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what Fan Wenxin said made sense.

She is an elder, why should she approach him? The Li family is willing to give the Huo family this way out, and the Huo family accepted it. But Mrs. Huo will not forgive her. Only with this attitude will the Li family respect her and stop talking nonsense.

Mother Huo took a deep breath and took off the gold bracelet: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. But——"

She stared at Huo Yixiu, "Let Ling Zhao wear this bracelet. Let him open his eyes and see clearly who it belongs to!"

Huo Yixiu held the bracelet in his hand and looked at Fan Wenxin calmly: "Thank you."

It has to be said that Fan Wenxin understands his thoughts better than anyone else.

But when he looked directly at Fan Wenxin, he realized a problem... Maybe he had been aware of it, but just never took it to heart.

——Fan Wenxin’s influence on the Huo family and his mother was too great.

……

Ling Zhao sat in the car.

The car was parked outside Ziqing Garden, and Jiang Shang was the driver.

Jiang Shang held the steering wheel, checked the time, and stared towards the gate, not daring to look back.

The atmosphere in the car made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was sitting on a thorny cushion.

Ziqing Garden was obviously Ling Zhao's home, but President Huo did not take her in. He even parked the car at the gate and asked her to wait there.

Isn't this intentional to make your wife feel uncomfortable?

Jiang Shang coughed lightly and said, "Madam, if you are hungry, there is yogurt and biscuits in the door compartment. Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"

Ling Zhao squinted his eyes and looked out the window indifferently.

"Madam, Mr. Huo doesn't want you to have a conflict with his wife. He doesn't mean to stop you from going home."

Feeling that the situation was getting worse the more he talked, Jiang Shang could only cough again and shut up awkwardly.

Fortunately, Mr. Huo came out.

When Jiang Shang saw the man coming out of the gate, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Let’s go!

But the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

Why is Fan Wenxin here too?

The two were talking, and although it was impossible to tell what they were saying, their expressions were the kind of formulaic expressions a boss would have towards his subordinates. But wasn't Fan Wenxin's entry into Ziqing Garden another thorn in the side of the Madam's heart?

He glanced back cautiously at Ling Zhao: "Secretary Fan should be here to have dinner with Madam Huo. You know, Secretary Fan has always been very popular with Madam Huo."

It seems like I said the wrong thing again.

Jiang Shang pinched his mouth and decided not to speak anymore.

After a while, Huo Yixiu came over and Jiang Shang immediately got out of the car to help him open the back door.

Huo Yixiu got in the car and said only two words: "Drive."

Jiang Shang stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel and drove away from Ziqing Garden. He caught a glimpse of Fan Wenxin in the rearview mirror still staring at the direction the car was leaving.

I took another glance and saw that my wife was watching me too.

Jiang Shang was so nervous that he almost drove the car into the non-motor vehicle lane.

Huo Yixiu gave him a cold look, and Jiang Shang immediately focused his attention, not daring to let his eyes wander anymore.

Huo Yixiu glanced at Ling Zhao and took out a box from his pocket.

The box was opened, revealing an antique bracelet with a gold base and inlaid with chicken blood stone and Hetian jade. The red was as deep as blood, and the jade was as clear as a teardrop, and against the gold background, it exuded a luxurious color.

The man took the woman's hand and put the bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet slid and shone brightly, making her hand look elegant.

"I can't remember how the auctioneer introduced this chain. It was probably said that a king had won a battle, and the people of that territory submitted to him and asked skilled craftsmen to make a treasure for him. The king gave this most beautiful trophy to his queen."
