After the matriarch of the Ming Family scolded her daughter, she gave Ming Hailan a good talking to.
The second elder lady of the Ming Family could only listen on the side, without any counterarguments.
Her granddaughter had been spoiled since she was little by her parents. How could she not recognize Bai Ruwei who had been sitting at Huoâs table for half the day? She did it on purpose.
As for Xing Siqing.
âQinyu, take Siqing back with you,â
At these words from the old lady, Huo Qinyu was startled. âMother, you meanâ¦â
Was the old lady giving her a public order to leave?
Xing Siqing also froze, quickly saying, âGrandma, it had nothing to do with me. I really did tell Hailan that she was Zhexiâs girlfriend. It was her who insisted on taking action and I couldnât stop her.â
âYou still dare to speak!â The old lady shouted sternly. âWhat kind of occasion is this? You were yelling for Wanwan and trying to stir up trouble, as if you wished the world was in chaos! What were you trying to achieve? Were you trying to embarrass the entire Huo Family?â
âGrandma, I didnât, I really didnâtâ¦â
âAt twenty-three years old, you still donât understand the bigger picture, what a waste of time living! Youâre not even as sensible as your sister-in-law!â Finishing, the old lady waved her hand impatiently, âHurry up, take her away. I donât want to see her!â
Even though Huo Qinyu was upset, the old lady had already spoken her words and people around were still watching.
To avoid making a bigger scene, she could only pull Xing Siqing away and leave hastily.

Once Bai Ruwei was outside, she shook off her hand.
âIâm going home now.â
âYou should change your clothes first,â Huo Zhexi immediately said. âYouâll catch a cold like this.â
âWhere should I change? Whose clothes should I wear? I didnât bring any other clothes here, I can only go home.â
A series of questions made Huo Zhexi feel a bit awkward, âThenâ¦Iâll drive you home.â
Bai Ruwei shook her head, âNo need, you should go back to your family.â
âThatâs not acceptable. Your clothes are wet and itâs cold outside. Youâd have to take a taxi home if you go by yourselfâ¦â
âZhexi, I really shouldnât have come today,â Bai Ruwei suddenly interrupted him.
Yes.
She shouldnât have come today.
The last time, she was mistaken for a waitress.
This time, she dressed up specially and still ended up being mistaken for a waitress.
Perhaps she just isnât suitable for such occasions.
Even if she desperately wants to fit in with them, she always ends up in an embarrassing situation in the end!
Bai Ruwei bit her lip. As the elevator chimed, ignoring the pain in her foot, she rushed in and closed the door.

Because of the sudden incident, the atmosphere of the anniversary celebration changed.
Luckily, it was getting late and it was Valentineâs Day, so Huo Jingshen got up to leave.
After some brief pleasantries, he took Su Wanwan and left.
Once they reached the entrance of the hall and passed the corridor, they saw Bai Ruwei running through the lobby below.
The small, delicate figure was running with a limp, dressed in the soaked black evening gown. There was no sign of Huo Zhexi.
Su Wanwan inexplicably worried, wanting to keep watching. But as her hand tightened, Huo Jingshen promptly pulled her into the elevator.
With a âdingâ, the door closed.
âWhatâs the rush?â Su Wanwan frowned. âShould I call Zhexi? It looks like Bai Ruwei was injured.â
Holding the huge bouquet of rainbow roses, Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, âOr should I call an ambulance for her?â
Su Wanwan said, âSure.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
The elevator quickly arrived on the first floor. The two of them walked out of the building and saw Bai Ruwei getting into a taxi that was parked at the roadside.
âFeel better now?â Huo Jingshen gave her a cold glance.
Su Wanwan let out a sigh of relief.
The night was bustling but due to the late hour, there werenât many pedestrians.
Su Wanwan immediately took out her phone and moved closer, âHusband, help me take a photo, I want to post it on my Moments.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
He took the phone, drew her in for a selfie, and immediately sent it to their WeChat group.
Seeing the photo, the single ones who had no date began to flood the screen with comments.
Gu Huaiâan: [Come on, get my royal dog food!]
Ming Jing: [Witness report! Our sister-in-law won Charm Goddess today! She even played the violin! Joined the Mingli Association! Received 520 rainbow roses, a diamond watch, and publicly performed a kiss!]
Lu Chenyu: [Hehe.]
Nangong Ci: [Damn, sister-in-law can play the violin? Why do I find that so hard to believe?]
Ming Jing: [Really! I even recorded it, let me send it for you guys to watch.]
Gu Huaiâan: [Unexpected. Donât judge a book by its cover.]
Lu Chenyu: [Continue to hehe.]
Nangong Ci: [Big bro, tell us what gift did your sister-in-law give you?]
Gu Huaiâan: [Does my sister-in-law need to give a gift? Giving herself to her is the best gift.]
Ming Jing: [Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirtyâ¦]
Lu Chenyu continued: [Hehe.]
Once he was inside his car, Huo Jingshen placed the roses on the back seat.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He revved the engine and asked softly, âBaby, hubby gave you roses, a diamond watch, and made you the center of attentionâ¦â
With each statement, Su Wanwanâs mouth twitched.
Finally, Huo Jingshen asked her, âSo, doesnât my baby have anything to say?â
Su Wanwan blinked repeatedly, âDo I need to give a gift, too?â
Before Huo Jingshen could respond, she quickly said, âYou earn so much money, does a poor student like me need to give a gift too? Iâm not giving anything, I donât have any money!â
The renowned wealthiest man in Nancheng, the CEO of a multi-billion estate, would seriously expect her, a student, to offer him a Valentineâs Day gift?
Is this some kind of joke?
Thatâs really shameless!
Huo Jingshen said, âWell, since you donât have money, you donât have to buy a gift.â
Just as Su Wanwan was about to speak.
âYou can just give yourself to me when we get home.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
A few seconds later, she said, âSuddenly, I feel that if the Huo Yuan Group goes bankrupt someday, you wonât have to worry about unemployment. You could become a professional driver.â
What a seasoned driver he was!
If you lose your job, please help others drive!
You are surely skillful, steady-handed! Everything at your fingertips!
And there will definitely be no red-light violations in your record!
Huo Jingshen couldnât help but grin, âNo need, Iâm more than content driving your little Mercedes Benz.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Little Mercedes Benz?
Freaking hell!
Of course, itâs impossible to have a normal conversation with this seasoned driver. Within three sentences, he always lands a tricky blow!
And itâs always a vulgar one!
After coughing twice, she decided not to pay him any mind, picked up her phone, and shared the selfie sheâd just taken into her best friendsâ group chat to show off.
Mo Weiyi: [Rainbow roses from roseonly and matching coupleâs diamond watches from Crush! Baby Wanwan, you really hit the jackpot!]
Su Wanwan: [Are they worth a lot?]
Mo Weiyi: [Considering it conservatively, that watch of yours is worth at least five million!]
Holy crap!
Five million!
Su Wanwan looked at the diamond watch on her wrist. The circle of small pink diamonds were emitting a delicate and brilliant glow.
It was beautiful without being too flashy, showcasing taste when worn.
Suddenly, a strange thought crossed her mind.
Did this man used to do the same when he was in a relationship?
Did he carefully prepare priceless gifts and drive around casually, including with other womenâ¦
Once she started, Su Wanwanâs mind began to fill with these kinds of thoughts. Her lips pursed, feeling a little suffocated.
She suddenly felt at a disadvantage.
He was her first man in every way imaginable, but he was already in his thirties. A mature man like that must have had a colourful past.
Unable to suppress her thoughts any longer, Su Wanwan couldnât help but yelp, âAh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahâ¦Umm!â
Her mouth was then covered.
The car was pulled over.
Huo Jingshen furrowed his brow as he looked at the girl, âWhy are you screaming in the middle of the night?â
Su Wanwan took his hand off her mouth, âI am asking you, how did you spend your past Valentinesâ days?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âCome clean, how many women were there besides Chu Jingyi, Fu Qi?! Have you also been this extravagant with them on Valentinesâ Day?â
Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes and curled a thin smile, âBaby, are you jealous?â
His smile was handsome.
But it made Su Wanwan even angrier.
She remembered Xing Siqing telling her that Chu Jingyi had known Huo Jingshen since birth. They were childhood friends and engaged right after their birth. They grew up together in the same town.
As teenagers, they must have had some interactions, right?
Even if there was nothing between them, Huo Jingshen had been in the UK for a dozen years. Studying, working, and living, there must have been some women around him.
