Huo Mingzhu stood at the door and saw the two people hugging each other. She rolled her eyes and said, "Hey! Shen Xingkong, you are so shameless. Let go of my fourth brother quickly."
Xingkong tilted his head and looked over, holding on even tighter. "I won't."
"You are so annoying." Huo Mingzhu pouted her lips and ran over to the two of them, wanting to pull Xingkong away from Huo Siye's embrace.
But Huo Siye held onto Xingkong and avoided her.
Huo Mingzhu stomped her feet in anger. "Fourth brother!"
"What are you coming up here for?"
Huo Mingzhu glared at Xingkong, and Xingkong stuck his tongue out and made a face at her.
Huo Mingzhu became even more angry. "Shen Xingkong, don't you have feet? Why do you have to be held by my fourth brother?"
Xingkong made another face and wiggled his feet. "Yeah~ I don't have feet."
"Oh my god! Don't touch me with your smelly feet." Huo Mingzhu took two steps back in shock and patted the back of Xingkong's foot as she reached out.
"I didn't touch you, you touched me." Xingkong lay in Huo Siye's arms, laughing brightly and crisply.
Huo Mingzhu was so angry.
But with Huo Siye there, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"My mom asked me to come up and ask if you're okay, fourth brother. If you're okay, come downstairs. Everyone is waiting for you." Huo Mingzhu was unwilling and patted Xingkong's leg again.
Xingkong wasn't afraid and kicked her back.
Huo Mingzhu's little face looked like a small steamed bun, and she patted her several times before quickly running away while Xingkong wasn't paying attention.
When they reached the door, she stopped again and turned around to make a big silly face at the Xingkong. "You're such a child," said Xingkong.
Huo Siye put her down and smirked. "You're not any better."
Xingkong shook her head and hooked her finger around his. "Brother, why did you come to the Shen family?"
"To pay my respects and clean up my reputation."
Upon hearing this, Xingkong became unhappy.
She immediately let go of his arm and glared at him fiercely. "Five-minute breakup."
Huo Siye raised an eyebrow, and his dark eyes carried a hint of indifference and laziness.
"Childish."
Xingkong...
....
Because of Shen Xinai's incident, Shen Xinrou lost several fashion resources, and Dong Siyu didn't even want to come to the Shen family. But Dong Ru Zhu insisted on inviting her and even brought up the name of Mr. Liang to pressure her.
She understood that Dong Ru Zhu wanted to tell her that Shen Xinai was Mr. Liang's granddaughter, which meant that she had a bright future with the Liang family's reputation.
Dong Siyu was very disdainful.
Because she had a feeling that Shen Xinai would soon lose the Liang family's reputation.
But she still came.
For Shen Xingkong, she wanted to see what kind of absurd things Shen Xingkong would do.
At the dining table.
Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen sat at the main seat, Shen Zhizhou, Dong Ru Zhu, and Shen Xinai sat on the right side.
Huo Siye, Dong Siyu, and Huo Mingzhu sat on the left side.
Shen Xinai was originally arranged to sit opposite Huo Siye, but she didn't dare, so she sat at the very end.
The position across from Huo Siye was now empty.
"What's wrong with Xinai's face?" Dong Siyu glanced at Shen Xinai, her eyes full of disgust. "Did she get into a fight in prison?"
Shen Xinai timidly glanced at Huo Siye, afraid to speak.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Dong Siyu shook her head helplessly and gave a cold smile. "But with your personality, I'm afraid no one dares to fight with you."
"Siyu!" Dong Ru Zhu was unhappy with Dong Siyu's attitude.
Dong Siyu calmly glanced at her, displeasure evident in her eyes.
Hmph, she really thought that with the Liang family's halo, she could ignore the third wife of the Huo family.
"Well, she is. Isn't she best at controlling people and using them as weapons?" Huo Mingzhu coldly snorted, dissatisfied.
"Oh, Miss Sixth is just joking." Seeing someone speak ill of her precious granddaughter, the old lady was unhappy, but since the other party was the sixth miss of the Huo family, she couldn't get angry and could only smile apologetically.
"Hmph!" Huo Mingzhu hated old women like Shen who acted like fools.
She looked around. "Where's Shen Xingkong?"
"She's not hungry."
"She's so malnourished and still not hungry?" Dong Ru Zhu choked.
"She's going to become a fairy." Huo Mingzhu looked disgusted.
Dong Ru Zhu couldn't help but frown. Why did she feel that Huo Mingzhu's attitude towards Shen Xingkong had changed a lot?
It seemed like disgust...
"You guys go call the third miss down for dinner. If she doesn't come down, tell her I'll go up and beat her!" Huo Mingzhu threatened the servants with a swing of her fist.
The servant glanced at Dong Ru zhu and only went upstairs after she nodded.
"Fourth Master, last time was all a misunderstanding, about your marriage with Xinai..."
Suddenly, Huo Siye turned his head and swept his gaze over, and Shen Zhizhou immediately paused. A chilling aura emanated from him, suffocating the air around them.
There was an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe!
"Shen Dong."
"Ah? Fourth Master, what do you want to say?" The powerful aura made it hard for him to speak.
"When did Lady Ling and I become engaged?"
"Well, this...this..."
"Fourth Master, weren't we discussing your marriage with Xinai at the celebration for her academic achievements?" Dong Ru zhu, although also intimidated by Huo Siye's aura, had to settle this matter today.
Shen Xingkong was too reckless. If she managed to seduce Huo Siye again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You still have the nerve to mention the academic celebration? Aren't you ashamed?" Huo Mingzhu spoke up in front of Huo Siye. She was furious at the thought of Shen Xinai trying to use such despicable means to drug Fourth Brother.
Fortunately, Shen Xingkong saw through it, or Fourth Brother would have been in trouble by now.
"Besides, my Fourth Brother never agreed to be set up with Shen Xinai. It's your own delusions and arrogance that led to this humiliation!"
"Huo Mingzhu!" Dong Ru zhu couldn't hold back her anger anymore and scolded her. "Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"Oh~ Do you think you're superior just because you have a presidential pardon? Before, you were groveling at my feet and almost kneeling down." Huo Mingzhu sneered.
As soon as Huo Mingzhu thought about how she had been used as a pawn by Shen Xinai for so many years, she felt both embarrassed and angry.
"Miss Liu, you don't understand. Some people often become inflated and think they are superior, but they don't realize how many people are waiting to see them fail." Xingkong went downstairs and walked to the dining table.
Seeing her come down, Huo Mingzhu snorted arrogantly, "Why are you so annoying? You interrupt people's conversations so casually, it's really impolite."
"Sorry, no one taught me manners." Xingkong glanced around and saw that there were only two seats left
One was opposite Shen Xinai and next to Huo Mingzhu.
The other was opposite Huo Siye.
"Go get a chair for Miss Huo Siye." Dong Ru zhu didn't want her to sit opposite Shen Xinai, let alone opposite Huo Siye, so she instructed the servant.
But Xingkong ignored her and sat directly opposite Huo Siye.
