Chapter 8: Public Humiliation

osebumps, forcing down the instinctive fear that gripped him, and lifted his chin defiantly: "What Is your eyesight failing, or are your ears not working anymore either Seems like you need more than j...Damn it!

They are all divorced, what qualifications do they have to touch her

Looking at the bite marks that were barely covered by the makeup artist in the mirror, Su He gritted her teeth and cursed Huo Chen Xi's shameless behavior.

Every time he was finished, he would go to the bathroom and wash for a long time, as if he had been infected by her.

Now, he's not afraid of being poisoned

Su He angrily picked up a breath freshener and sprayed several times, trying to get rid of Huo Chen Xi's scent, but the smell, like him, was domineering and couldn't be cleaned at all.

"Who made the little girl unhappy"

After settling the banquet arrangements, Gu Qingcheng came to the dressing room and saw Su He with a gloomy face. She asked in solidarity,

To avoid letting Gu Qingcheng know about this embarrassing incident, Su He made up a reason to cover it up.

Luckily, Gu Qingcheng didn't pursue, and after some comforting, Su He finally recovered her smile.

"That's right. The banquet will begin soon, let's go and amaze everyone!"

She gave the stylist a few more instructions, and the stylist, who had been eagerly waiting to showcase their skills, immediately grabbed Su He and began styling them.

Gu Qingcheng stayed with Su He for a while longer before leaving the dressing room.

She had previously noticed the bite mark on Su He's lips, but she was afraid to point it out and embarrass her.

Having failed to get any answers out of Shen Muyin, Gu Qingcheng scolded him and grounded him for an hour. She also instructed Shen Xinfan, who was in charge of security, to monitor the situation.

This also alarmed Shen Zhaolin.

Seeing the surveillance footage, both Shen Zhao Lin and Gu Qing Cheng were furious.

Bullying his precious daughter on their own turf, do they really think they're sick cats

"Give it to me!" Shen Zhailin gritted his teeth, a flash of ferocity crossing his usually refined face.

To celebrate Shu He's return, the usually low-key Shen Zhao Lin invited A city's upper crust this time.

8 PM.

The banquet hall was glittering with lights, as bright as day.

A Michelin-starred chef's exquisite dishes filled the buffet table, and waiters moved efficiently among the guests, serving drinks.

Dressed in fine attire, the distinguished guests chatted animatedly in small groups.

Shen Zhaolin's five sons have been keeping their existence a secret, and now he is holding a grand reunion banquet for his daughter. Everyone can't help but speculate.

"With such a big turnout, isn't Mr. Shen looking for a son-in-law"

"After so many years of being lost, who knows what Shen Qijin has experienced, what kind of person she has become. Who would dare to marry her"

"Back then, Old Master Shen doted on her immensely. When she disappeared, Old Master Shen fell seriously ill. Now that she's finally been found, the Shen family wouldn't treat her like a treasure Marrying her, not to mention the dowry, the Shen family's protection would be enough to elevate the entire family!"

"Isn't that right The only true precious granddaughter in the Shen family is this one. There are countless suitors vying for her hand, and even Mr. Huo from the Imperial Jade Group is said to have come."

"Isn't Young Master Huo getting close to Miss Bai Why come join the festivities"

Just as they were speaking, Huo Chenxi, dressed in a black tuxedo, and Bai Yihuan, wearing a sky-blue gradient starry strapless gown, walked over gracefully.

The tailored suit accentuated Ho Shenxi's nearly 1.9-meter frame, making him appear even more tall and slender. However, his handsome features remained as aloof as ever, exuding an icy coldness that kept people at arm's length.

Bai Yihuan beside him had exquisite makeup and a charming smile. Her happiness was evident under the embellishment of luxurious jewels.

"My goodness, Miss Bai is wearing the Sally Starlight Dress Mr. Huo must really adore her!"

"Ho Shao is handsome, with a good figure, rich and affectionate. Bai Yihuan must have saved the Milky Way in her past life to find such a perfect man!"

Feeling the envious gazes around her, Bai Yi raised her chin with glee, her smile widening. She leaned closer to Huo Chen Xi.

Huo Chen's brows furrowed slightly, a flash of discomfort crossing his eyes. He lowered his gaze to see her small abdomen, still allowing her to hang half on his arm.

An hour ago, a group of sea snakes inexplicably appeared in his room, along with a warning letter.

Bai Yihuan came to find him, just as a sea snake fell from the doorframe and hung on her neck, she was immediately scared unconscious.

She was just shaken up and pregnant, so Huo Chenxi had to take care of her.

>

Just as Bai Yihuan was enjoying the envy and praise of many wealthy housewives, Su He, dressed in fine clothes, appeared.

She wore a high-end, custom silver floor-length gown with a sweetheart neckline and waist cinching design. The dress accentuated her curves beautifully. As she moved, the silver patterns on the skirt shimmered like rippling water waves. Against the backdrop of expensive pink diamond jewelry, the entire ensemble radiated brilliance and glamour.

On her oval face, no bigger than a palm, a pair of starry eyes shone brightly, as if filled with the brilliance of a thousand stars. A casual glance was enough to captivate the heart.

Even the most knowledgeable and experienced noblemen were astounded by the breathtaking beauty bestowed upon her by the gods.

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone is unconsciously drawn to Su He.

Bai Yihuan, who had lost her followers, was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She spent a fortune hiring someone to buy the starry dress from Sally, hoping to be the center of attention at the party. However, in less than three minutes, she was completely overshadowed by Su He.

As if sensing her gaze, Su He looked over, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips.

Bai Yihuan's anger was completely ignited. She subconsciously looked at Huo Chenxi, but saw that he was also staring straight at Su He.

A gaze shrouded in darkness lingered on Su He, tinged with a hint of astonishment and unfamiliarity. It scrutinized her intently, as if confirming that the proud and stunning woman before him was indeed the Su He who used to be devoid of makeup and wouldn't even dare to look at him directly.

Huo Chenxi had never attended a banquet with Su He, nor had they held a wedding reception. Huo Chenxi had never seen Su He's elegant and refined appearance.

Bai Yihuan was pierced by his gaze, her nails digging deep into her palm.

Ho Chenxi had never looked at her with such eyes!

"Miss Su, without an invitation, how did you get on board"

As Su He passed by the front, Bai Yihuan suddenly pretended to be familiar and asked curiously in a loud voice.

All eyes suddenly shifted with a subtle change.

"What a pretentious party! I thought it was going to be some rich heiress's event!"

"This outfit looks rented. You really splurged, huh"

"With that looks and figure, it wouldn't be bad to have some fun!"

The harsh murmurs spread, and Bai Yihuan smiled with satisfaction, looking at Su He provocatively.

Su He remained indifferent, not giving her any attention at all.

Huo Chenxi frowned, preparing to explain for Su He, when a handsome hand landed on her shoulder.

"If we made plans to meet, why are you not waiting for me"

A man with a refined face wearing metal-frame glasses, a warm and gentle smile, and an extraordinary air dotingly looked at Su He.

Su He blinked.

Three brothers vied to accompany her onstage, almost coming to blows. She had no choice but to go alone.

It seems that bloodline suppression, Big Brother won!

Feeling a sense of contentment, Su He subconsciously held onto Shen Rufeng's arm and looked up at him with a slight smile.

Shen Ruifeng gave her an assuring smile, raised his chin and looked around, his arrogant gaze revealing a natural air of nobility.

Ultimately, the blame fell on Bai Yihuan.

"To my understanding, Miss Bai was invited to play the piano and liven up the atmosphere. You didn't go on stage to perform but instead deliberately sought out my female companion. Could this be a tactic to attract some distinguished guest"

The blunt and sarcastic questions left Bai Yihuan awkwardly flustered.

Huo Chenxi's sword eyebrows furrowed, his gaze unpleasantly fixed on Shen Rufeng's hand resting on Su He's shoulder. He spoke in an unkind tone: "She is my companion. Does it concern you if she goes onstage to perform"

Just now Bai Yihuan publicly humiliated and made things difficult for Shen Rufeng, Huo Chenxi stood by and watched. Now that Shen Rufeng is retaliating, he can't help but support Bai Yihuan.

He truly loves Bai Yihuan!

Su He increasingly found herself finding her previous self laughable. She looked up at Shen Ruifeng, signaling a change of location, as she no longer wanted to be bothered by these two people.

Shen Rufeng patted her shoulder and turned to look at Huo Chenxi, smiling lightly: "Huo Shao's invitation, does it have the right to bring a female companion"

Other guests were immediately taken aback.

This reunion dinner invitation is tiered, and only the highest tier allows guests to bring a female companion.

Given Huo Chenxi's status and position, it was natural to assume he held a top-tier rank.

Rarely attending events with a female companion, Huo Shenxi hadn't paid attention to the invitation tier. Hearing him say this, his face immediately turned grim.

Shen Ruifeng was deliberately embarrassing him, and immediately called security to check the invitation level in public.

"Mr. Huo, your invitation is of the common level and you are not eligible to bring a female companion!" Shen Xingfan pretended to check on his tablet and announced in a loud voice.

Before, Haishe and the warning letter left him unmoved. Now, seeing Huo Chenxi's face twisted in anger, Shen Xingfan felt a sense of pure joy.

Next second, Shen Rufeng threw a glare at Shen Xingfan. He immediately sobered up, coughed lightly, and said to Bai Yihuan without any politeness: “Miss Bai, if an invited performing guest is unwilling to perform, please disembark immediately!”

Ho Shenxi, who was slapped in public, couldn't even describe his face with the word "difficult".

Under one's own roof, one has to bow their head.

He glanced dangerously at Su He and Shen Rufeng, said coldly "Good," intending to take Bai Yihuan away and settle the score later.

But Bai Yihuan was unwilling to leave easily.

"Chen Xi, aren't you here to talk to Mr. Shen" she feigned concern. "Don't let me affect important matters, I'll just go perform!"

Just then, a sharp female voice, laced with surprise and questioning, sounded as if in response to Bai Yihua's anticipation.

"Storm, who is she Is it because of her that you want to break up with me" tow, Long Mao strolled through the streets and alleys. In a remote corner of a run-down village, they stumbled upon an inconspicuous little shop.The shop is very small, with a floor space of less tha...
