Just as the pitiful Cao Chen was thinking about how to get Shen Bei to let him off, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Shen Bei replied.
The person who walked in was Xu Feng, Shen Bei's assistant.
It had to be said that Xu Feng was indeed Shen Bei's assistant. Just like Shen Bei, he had almost no expression on his face.
Cao Chen suddenly felt like he was caught between two icebergs and was about to freeze to death.
"Young Master Shen, this is Huo Man's information." Xu Feng ignored Cao Chen, who was rooted to the spot, and handed the document bag to Shen Bei.
"I knew you'd definitely look into it! It seems our Young Master Shen is really serious about it. " Cao Chen couldn't help but tease him. All he got in return for his efforts was another eye roll.
This time, Cao Chen did not dare speak.
He could only stare at the document in Shen Bei's hands, trying to glean the information he wanted from it.
However, Shen Bei only took out Huo Man's photo from the document bag.
Cao Chen's expectations were dashed once again. He couldn't help but yell out loud, "Why are there only photos?!"
Shen Bei and Xu Feng looked at him in unison as if they were looking at an idiot.
Only then did Cao Chen realize what happened. His eyes widened. "It can't be that you didn't find anything, right?"
It could be said that the Shen family had the power to cover the sky with one hand. There was nothing in this world that the Shen family couldn't find. But now, this great family actually couldn't find information on a country bumpkin?
What a disgrace! He was definitely a disgrace to the Shen family!
Cao Chen's heart was in turmoil, but he did not dare to say anything. He could only look at Shen Bei.
However, who could have guessed that Shen Bei wouldn't be angry at all? Rather than anger, there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, this smile made Cao Chen shudder once again.
He knew that the smile on Shen Bei's face meant that someone was about to get into trouble.
In his heart, Cao Chen silently prayed for the person who was targeted by Shen Bei. It was not a good thing that Qianqian had offended him.
Exhausted, Huo Man took a nap in bed. She ended up not waking up till after dark.
She could vaguely smell the fragrance of rice, but no one called her to eat.
Huo Man was a little hungry. She pushed the door open, left the small outhouse, and made her way towards the villa's dining room.
In the restaurant, the four members of the Huo family were having a great time. They had almost forgotten about Huo Man before she suddenly appeared.
As soon as they saw her, the smiles on their faces disappeared, leaving only alienation and disdain in their eyes.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot to ask the kitchen to prepare your meal," Liang Yu apologized hypocritically.
Huo Man frowned slightly. He probably didn't cook her meal on purpose, right?
She saw that there were still quite a few dishes on the table, so she simply sat down beside Huo Yi and said, "It's okay. None of that really matters. There's so much food, I can afford to squeeze in."
Huo Yi looked at Huo Man sitting next to him, and then thought of how she hit him. He didn't dare to breathe.
Seeing this, Huo Yan sneered, "You're indeed a country bumpkin. You don't even have any manners!" We're the owners of the villa, and we didn't ask you to come to the table. Do you think this is your home?"
"Don't tell me you've forgotten that this villa is also one of my assets?" Huo Man looked at Huo Yan as if she was an idiot.
Huo Yan nearly choked on her food and was sent into a coughing fit.
"I'm the owner of this villa. If it wasn't for my generosity, you guys would have been kicked out of my territory long ago." Huo Man didn't stand on ceremony with them. She beckoned to a servant and asked for a set of bowls and chopsticks. Then, she started eating in front of the Huo family.
Huo Cheng did not expect Huo Man to be so difficult to deal with.
His memory of Huo Man was still stuck at the time when he sent her away.
At that time, Huo Man was still young and acted like a yes-man, clearly not as difficult to deal with as she was now.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's just a meal. Everyone, it's delicious. Don't quarrel." Huo Cheng stood up and took charge of the situation. "By the way, Huo Man, I've already contacted a school for you. You can go to school soon. Are you happy?"
Huo Man had been living in the countryside and hadn't gotten the chance to study at all. Huo Cheng did this so that she would be grateful to him.
"That's right. Your dad has contacted a good school for you. In order to get you in, he even donated some money." Liang Yu added in a bid to appear as though they were good to Huo Man.
