Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Lei noticed the changes in the person in his arms, and then looked at the woman opposite who looked like she wanted to eat Shan Lai. His face instantly turned cold, and he pulled Shan Lai's hand with a little more force to pull her towards him, for fear that Huo Cheng would hurt her.

In a place where Huo Cheng could see it but others didn't notice it, Shan Lai stuck out his tongue proudly, as if to say, "Come over here if you're capable."

Huo Cheng was so angry that his face turned green.

Ximen was looking at the two grandparents of the Huo family from the side, and he felt a headache no matter how he looked at them. Although he had handed them invitations, everyone knew that someone as face-conscious as Old Lady Huo would not come.

It's really surprising that she's here now.

"Grandma Huo, since you are here, please come in." Simon said in a friendly manner, making a "please" gesture.

Old Mrs. Huo snorted, raised her head and walked inside, leaving Huo Cheng alone.

After Mrs. Huo left, Shan Lai looked at Huo Cheng with a chill in her eyes. It was this girl who had falsely accused her of doing something bad last time.

She slowly walked to Huo Cheng's side and whispered in her ear: "Huo Cheng, what tricks do you want to play this time?"

Huo Cheng just smiled when he heard this, "As long as I can kill you, it doesn't matter what tricks I use." Although her voice was very soft, it still fell into the ears of Daomingsi who was closer to the two of them.

"Miss Huo, you are really confident. You want to kill others with your same old tricks? You should worry more about yourself." Daomingsi's words were very blunt, leaving Huo Cheng speechless.

After hearing what Daomingsi said, the other three people looked at Huo Cheng with meaningful eyes. How could there be such a shameless person?

They had already heard about the incident of Huo Cheng being "bullied" by Shan Lai and had also privately checked the surveillance footage of the restaurant. Combined with what Xiaoyou said, it was obvious that Huo Cheng was directing and acting in the incident himself.

"Huo Cheng, you know best what happened last time. Don't look for trouble and don't seek death." Ximen said with a smile. He smiled the brightest and spoke the harshest words.

Huo Cheng looked at Shan Lai viciously, then turned his head to look at the other people, "Deng He Shan Lai, you are really charming. Four heirs of well-known consortiums in Country K are obsessed with you and protect you without knowing right from wrong."

"Did you pay something for this? For example." Huo Cheng didn't say anything else, just looked at everyone with a playful expression.

Mei Zuo was so angry at her words that she was speechless. How could this girl have such a dirty mind? How could she even make up such a thing?

Shan Lai clenched her fists and endured it again and again. This was a banquet held by the Ximen family to celebrate her father's appointment as chairman. Her parents were also here. She couldn't let anyone catch the Ximen and Denghe families because of a momentary impulse.

Lei suddenly came over and put his hand on Shan Lai's shoulder. She was startled and looked up to meet his eyes. He patted her shoulder and told her not to worry. "Huo Cheng, if you come here to cause trouble, I have nothing to say. The Huo family is a well-known and wealthy family. How could they raise an unfilial descendant like you who can't distinguish between the primary and the secondary?"

Daomingsi was standing next to them with his hands in his trouser pockets, watching the whole process. It was the first time he knew that a girl could be so shameless, and it was also the first time he wanted to complain.

Listening to what Lei said to her, Huo Cheng's face was full of shock. Why did he speak for Deng and Shanlai?

"I'm warning you, don't be too arrogant. I don't even take a mere young lady of the Huo family seriously. But if I really hire someone to kill you, will the Huo family kill me if they find out?" Shan Lai smiled maliciously. She was smiling, but her eyes were not. The ruthlessness that flashed across her eyes made Huo Cheng feel weak in the knees.

"One is the unknown and insignificant eldest daughter of the Huo family, and the other is the heir of the Denghe family. You don't need to think about it to know which one is more important." Daomingsi added a sentence from the side. He got angry when he saw Huo Cheng's face.

Mei Zuo put his arm around Dao Ming Si's shoulder. This was the first time he felt that Dao Ming Si had hit the nail on the head.

"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you." Huo Cheng smiled even more happily.

Simon had a bad feeling.

It was already surprising that the Huo family would come over tonight, and when Huo Cheng said this, Ximen's heart was filled with alarm.

……

Old Mrs. Huo was led by the servant to where Deng Heyin and the others were. When she arrived, everyone who was talking fell silent.

When Ximen Lang saw that it was Mrs. Huo, he called her "Master's Wife" with great respect.

He had worked briefly in the department where Mr. Huo worked and was considered his disciple. Mr. Huo was his teacher and Mrs. Huo was his teacher's wife.

Deng Heyin looked at Dong Shen and his wife. Although they were not in Country K, they knew everything that happened on their side and naturally knew who was standing in front of them.

"Mrs. Huo." Deng Heyin called out with a smile, and Dong Shen followed suit and nodded with a proper smile.

Old Mrs. Huo raised her eyelids, glanced at Deng Heyin, and replied lightly, "Hmm."

Deng Heyin didn't care about it. They were not familiar with the people of the Huo family and had no friendship with them. It was understandable that Mrs. Huo did this.

"Alang, your teacher thought highly of you back then." Old Mrs. Huo said with a smile.

The smile on Ximen Lang's lips froze for a moment. He didn't know how to answer her question. He had only worked under Mr. Huo for less than two months back then. How could he be so valued?

"Yes, thank you teacher for your advice to me back then." Ximen Lang cleverly answered Mrs. Huo's question. He only said advice but not respect. After all, there was no such thing as respect at all.

Mo Yihang looked at the two of them and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. No one would come to see you for no reason. Mrs. Huo's purpose of coming here this time was not simple.

Dong Shen took a sip of the champagne in his hand. It was true that they were involved in the Ximen family's affairs this time, but they were not fools. Judging from the old lady's appearance, it didn't seem like she was here to reminisce about the past.

"I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the chairman. Your teacher's blood pressure suddenly rose and he couldn't come. I hope you can forgive me." Mrs. Huo continued.

Mo Yihang was almost laughing at her words. What did she mean? Was she saying that her husband had taken away the position of chairman that the Huo family thought belonged to them?

joke!

What does Mr. Huo's high blood pressure have to do with them? Is it necessary to bring it up to annoy others?

Today was supposed to be their family's big day of election, so why would someone come here specifically to bring bad luck?

"Oh? Really? I happen to know a doctor who is quite accomplished in the field of cardiovascular diseases in the middle-aged and elderly. Do you need us to introduce him to Mr. Huo?" Deng Heyin looked at the hypocritical corners of Mrs. Huo's mouth and said this indifferently.
