Besides, she did not think highly of Huo Zirui's character.
Yang Xi clung to Gu Ruochu's side. Now that she had an acquaintance, it was no longer awkward. Huo Zirui's expression darkened when he recalled the incident at the banquet.
"My mother dragged me here by force," Yang Xi mumbled softly. "I don't want Huo Zirui. He doesn't look like a good man. I don't like him."
Gu Ruochu patted her shoulder to support her. "If you don't like him, don't marry him."
Yang Xi nodded. She had finally found someone to confide in. Her eyes almost teared up. Yang Xi was a romantic person. Despite her status, she would give up everything for a man she loved. On the other hand, if she did not love someone, she would not care even if he gave her the entire world.
As the two families were happily chatting, Huo Nanchen came back from the office. To Gu Ruochu's surprise, he was accompanied by some visitors. One of them was An Shaosi.
"Uncle Huo, Auntie Huo, long time no see." A handsome man walked over. His eyes carried a hint of mischief.
His slightly long hair was messy, giving him a wild and unruly look.
'An Shaosi?'
When she saw him, Yang Xi's expression turned gloomy. An Shaosi met her gaze and smiled indifferently.
Yang Xi pursed her lips and frowned in disgust.
"Oh, Shaosi!" Huo Zhenggang did not expect An Shaosi to come over at this time. He waved for him to sit down. "Are you free today?"
"I haven't visited in a long time, and I had some time today."
"Okay. You have to stay and play a game of chess with me before you leave. You can have lunch here."
An Shaosi's face was filled with an unshakeable smile. He sat down and said, "Then it's better to follow your orders. I can't defy my uncle."
Yang Nuo and his wife looked at each other and reached a consensus. They had to do everything in their power to arrange a marriage between their daughter and Huo Zirui.
"Why don't we leave this place to the young people?" Mrs. Huo smiled gracefully. "Let's go inside and continue our conversation. Otherwise, we'll make them feel embarrassed."
"Mrs. Huo is right. Let's go inside and have a talk." Mrs. Yang stood up and followed Mrs. Huo upstairs as their husbands followed behind them.
Huo Zirui tugged at the collar of his shirt with an expressionless face.
"Third Master, can we play Mahjong?" An Shaosi lit a cigarette as he suggested casually. Gu Ruochu did not like his personality.
It felt dangerous and terrifying.
"Sure, whatever." Huo Zirui did not want to be alone with Yang Xi. He did not know what his father is thinking. Why was he trying to find him another woman? He didn't even like her.
"Are you bored?" Huo Nanchen sat next to Gu Ruochu and placed his hand on the back of her chair.
"No, you can go."
"Okay."
Yang Xi remembered lunch they had at the mall and felt that something was not right between the two. She subconsciously whispered into Gu Ruochu's ear, "Did you have a conflict with him?"
"It doesn't matter."
'What does she mean it doesn't matter?'
"Miss Yang Xi, we meet again?" An Shaosi smiled at Yang Xi cunningly.
Yang Xi hated An Shaosi to death. She glared at him coldly and continued speaking to Gu Ruochu.
