Chapter 207
The Huo family mansion.
It's not the first time Mu Wanzhi came here, this is the second time.But the memory of the last time was still fresh in her memory, Yan Ruyi's mocking of herself kept ringing in her ears, and Mu Wanzhi's mind was tense.
She couldn't help but clenched her palms slightly, looking at the sea of people in front of her, Mu Wanzhi felt that her heartbeat was about to stop suddenly.
The scene this time was obviously countless times grander than last time.
This is equivalent to a small concert venue, a large gathering of no less than 500 people, and it turned out to be just a guest specially invited by the Huo family to celebrate the old man's [-]th birthday.
Those people are of different shapes and colors, all of them are high-class people in society.Among them are many business tycoons, political and business leaders, etc., and even superstars in the entertainment industry, etc., in order to gain more contacts, they also want to take a scene.
In the main hall, the resplendent and exquisite chandeliers set off every face with a soft light.Elegant cello music filled the entire hall, and the entire hall was crowded with people and it was very lively.
It looks like a king's gorgeous and huge castle, and here, a grand dinner is about to be held.
Apart from joy, everyone looked forward to it. Everyone really wanted to know what the legendary old man Yan was like.
But at this time, Mu Wanzhi looked at the dense crowd, feeling extremely nervous, and couldn't help tightening her grip on Huo Sijue.
Feeling her trembling, Huo Sijue comforted her softly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mu Wanzhi's hanging heart relaxed a little bit, but it was still hanging, but not so tense.
After speaking, they pushed open the door of the banquet, and in an instant, countless pairs of eyes immediately looked over.Mu Wanzhi held her breath for an instant.
Immediately there were dense discussions among the crowd,
"Isn't that Huo Sijue?"
"Ah, it's really him, so handsome!!! He's [-] times more handsome than in the photo!"
"But who is the woman standing beside him?"
"God, could it be a girlfriend? No, no..."
……
The eyes that fell on Huo Sijue then shifted to Mu Wanzhi's body. Mu Wanzhi felt that she was about to be seen through, so she held Huo Sijue tightly with her hands.
In fact, Qin Mo gave Mu Wanzhi a bold innovation today.
In the past, I used to choose plain dresses, and felt that the price comparison of plain colors was suitable for Mu Wanzhi's temperament, so I used them more.But going on like this will only gradually make Mu Wanzhi's light no longer obvious.
So this time, Qin Mo was very bold and used black and red colors for Mu Wanzhi, and his makeup was slightly heavier.
At this time, Mu Wanzhi's whole body looked a little charming, and her clear eyes revealed a pure, contradictory beauty, yet charming, making it unforgettable.
Along the way, Mu Wanzhi could hear various voices, including disdain, contempt, and of course a few words of praise, but most of them were disdain.
After all, everyone knows that this old man Yan held a birthday banquet today, and he clearly said that he would choose a gentle and virtuous wife for his grandson.Therefore, no matter how amazing Mu Wanzhi's appearance was, it was full of ridicule.
Knowing that Huo Sijue is going to pick a woman today, but this stupid woman is still following him, it's not self-inflicted humiliation, what else could it be?
Of course, Huo Sijue also heard all the hostility towards Mu Wanzhi.
But as a figure in the limelight, it is inevitable to be talked about by idlers, Huo Sijue didn't care, but considering Mu Wanzhi's mood, Huo Sijue murmured softly.
"Don't be nervous, just stay by my side, and leave everything else to me."
Mu Wanzhi's heart warmed up, she thought it was coming, so she nodded obediently.
Qin Li and Qin Mo, who were following behind, couldn't help smiling when they saw the scene of the two of them.
Since it is Mr. Huo's birthday, the first thing to do is of course to celebrate his birthday.
But old man Yan, who is the birthday star, is getting older, even if it is his own birthday, he still doesn't like to show his face.So at this moment, the old man is sitting in a private room upstairs, with Yan Ruyi, Huo Xinyan and others by his side, chatting about family affairs, which can be regarded as lively.
As for the outside of the private room, anyone with status or who the old man wants to see will be allowed to come in to congratulate, if they don't want to meet, they will accept the gift directly, and they won't even be able to see each other.
At this time, Huo Sijue appeared outside the door, and when the servant saw that it was him, he took two steps back to get out of the way without saying a word.
The first ones were Qin Mo and Qin Li. When they saw the old man, they were both respectful and polite.Mr. Huo looked at the two children and knew that they were children of the Qin family, so he was very polite.
Then, his eyes fell on Huo Sijue who followed him.
"Grandpa, happy birthday. I wish you blessings like the East China Sea, and a long life than the South Mountain." Huo Sijue congratulated simply, but his words were in a style of his own.
Seeing an old man with a gray beard in front of him, sitting solemnly on the grand teacher's chair, his expression was not angry but mighty, Mu Wanzhi couldn't help feeling nervous as he watched.
Seeing Huo Sijue coming with a woman by his side, Old Man Yan looked at him indifferently, but he didn't express anything, but suddenly said, "Sijue, there are a lot of guests today, you can go down and entertain him."
Huo Sijue's face darkened slightly, obviously not happy.
On the one hand, he doesn't like to entertain those polite guests, on the other hand, he is worried about putting Mu Wanzhi, who is worried and frightened, here.
"Why, you don't listen to what Grandpa says?" Old Man Yan was naturally displeased seeing Huo Sijue's silence.
The people on the side couldn't say anything, so they had no choice but to hold the mentality of watching the show, thinking that Huo Sijue would never reject Old Man Yan.
Mu Wanzhi didn't want Huo Sijue to cause trouble, this old man Yan is Huo Sijue's grandfather, what's the matter with her being in the middle?
So, Mu Wanzhi said to Huo Sijue, "Go and do your work first, I'll just be with Sister Qin Li and Qin Mo."
Qin Li on the side also nodded, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely take good care of my sister-in-law!"
After speaking, the atmosphere instantly turned into an ice cellar.
Qin Li knew that he had said something wrong, his face turned pale instantly, and he wished he could slap himself twice.The boss hasn't introduced Mu Wanzhi yet, so why did he blurt out "sister-in-law"?
Huo Sijue didn't mind, anyway, sooner or later he would reveal Mu Wanzhi, so what if he shouted?Just a reminder to those around me.
Therefore, Huo Sijue played tricks on Qin Li and Qin Mo, meaning that this girl will be handed over to you, and I will protect her.
Qin Li and Qin Mo understood what he meant, so they nodded, meaning you can go at ease.
Huo Sijue said to the old man, "Then I'll go."
After speaking, he turned and disappeared outside the door.
Mu Wanzhi looked at his back and at the people in the room, feeling very uncomfortable, so she moved closer to Qin Mo silently.
Unexpectedly, after Huo Sijue left, Yan Ruyi walked straight towards her!
