Huo Jiayuan's eyes widened. To be precise, that was her ex-boyfriend, the mistake of her four years of university, the wasted youth, and the scumbag she misjudged!

She inherited most of the Huo family's excellent genes, especially their devotion. From the day she entered university, she fell in love with this refined and handsome senior, giving him her whole heart for four years. Unexpectedly, on her graduation day, he told her that he had fallen in love with someone else…

"Yuan Yuan, I'm sorry. She's the daughter of the chairman of the company where I interned. Being with her would save me twenty years of hard work... Please understand me, I also want to live a good life!"

Huo Jiayuan was holding a milk tea at the time, and she almost crushed the cup when she heard these words!

Her parents taught her from a young age to be low-key, not only because of the family tradition of humility and caution, but also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

So she only attended an international kindergarten during her preschool years, and from elementary school onwards, teachers were brought in to her home to teach her individually. After entering university, she never mentioned her family background to any of her classmates, who all assumed she was just an outstanding student who got into university through her own hard work.

Huo Jiayuan took a deep breath; the words her senior, Chen Shi, had said were still lingering in her mind.

"Sis, are you going to go save him or not?"

Huo Jiayuan frowned.

Although she was extremely disappointed in this man, she still cherished their past relationship and didn't want things to fall apart so badly.

So she did as Huo Jiaxi had told her and headed towards the private club.

In one of Huo’s private clubs, a handsome young man looked trembling at the two old men in front of him, too scared to breathe.

Either of these two people had enough aura to crush him into dust.

The air was icy cold, and Chen Shi's neck stiffened. After a while, he forced a smile, and suddenly, Lu Lishan slammed his hand on the table. Chen Shi's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Ahem!" Huo Zhixing glanced at Lu Lishan. "Mind your manners!"

"Damn it, what good ideas are there to have with this coward? I..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Huo Zhixing always disliked his rough and uncouth manner. "You were like this when you were young, with no manners at all! Can you change your gangster ways? Don't embarrass Yuan Yuan!"

Lu Lishan glared at him and turned his head to the side.

Huo Zhixing gave a half-smile as he looked at Chen Shi, his eyes sharp as a sword, making one uneasy.

"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Chen Shi stammered, "I...I really didn't know that Yuan Yuan was actually..."

"Now you know?" Huo Zhixing looked at him coldly. "What exactly is it about my granddaughter that makes her unworthy of you?"

"That bastard seduced the daughter of the company chairman for wealth and status!" Lu Lishan was furious.

Chen Shi was filled with regret. If he had known that Huo Jiayuan had such a powerful background, he would have stayed by her side even if it meant being a leech! He could have saved not only twenty years of hard work, but his descendants could have saved two lifetimes of hard work!

When Huo Jiayuan arrived, she heard various sounds of beatings, shouting, and pleas for mercy coming from the private club. She stood at the door and looked through the crack in the door—her grandfather, needless to say, had been fighting and killing all his life, and he certainly wouldn't show any mercy at this moment.

Even the grandfather, who always prided himself on his civilized manners, started to take action.

His ruthlessness was no less than that of Lu Lishan.

Chen Shi was beaten so badly by the two old men that he cried for his parents. After the two men had vented their anger, Lu Lishan's men carried him out and threw him out.

Upon seeing Huo Jiayuan standing in front of him, Chen Shi was so frightened that he wet himself and fled in panic.

At this moment, Huo Zhixing and Lu Lishan came out together and started bickering again, determined to see who had been more ruthless.

Huo Jiayuan smiled gently and stepped forward, taking their arms with one hand on each side.

"I just got revenge for you." Huo Zhixing patted her head. "How are you feeling now?"

"Yuan Yuan, Grandpa's skills are as good as ever!" Lu Lishan laughed heartily. "But your taste is really terrible. You only dated this guy during your four years of college... He's just a greyhound, not tough at all!"

"Lu Lishan!" Huo Zhixing pouted. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Yuan Yuan is annoyed!"

Brother Shan glared at him. "What's there to be annoyed about? We've already beaten him up, haven't we?"

"You said that kid is a 'little dog,' doesn't that mean Yuan Yuan can't pick people?"

"It's not good to begin with, so why can't I say it?"

"you……"

"Grandpa, Grandpa!" Huo Jiayuan was both amused and exasperated by the two old men. "Can you two stop arguing? I've already let go of Chen Shi. Actually, you really didn't need to stand up for me today."

Huo Zhixing and Lu Lishan exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word. They knew that Huo Jiayuan, who appeared carefree on the surface, was actually sensitive and stubborn when it came to relationships, and might not be able to get over the heartbreak anytime soon.

The best way to heal from a breakup is to start a new relationship.

“Yuan Yuan,” Huo Zhixing tentatively suggested, “the Bai family is having a banquet this weekend, and your second uncle and aunt’s new works will be exhibited there. It’s going to be very lively! Why don’t you go with your grandparents?”

“Yes, yes!” Lu Lishan chimed in, “The banquet is full of talented young men. It will be good for you to get to know them! When it comes to finding a boyfriend, you have to find someone of equal social standing. You absolutely cannot go and find someone like Chen Shi to help you out…”

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Zhixing delivered another heavy slap to his shoulder and head!

A good match in terms of social standing?

Huo Jiayuan rolled her eyes. These four words didn't sound very pleasant to her. Perhaps because she had been born with too much, she didn't want a marriage of equal social standing, but rather a love without regrets.

She would never do a marriage alliance for the sake of family interests.

“Grandpa, Grandpa,” she looked at them and said earnestly, “I want to… go out for a walk.”

"Great!" Huo Zhixing said with a smile, "Grandpa will take you to the horse farm!"

“No,” Huo Jiayuan said. “I want to leave Yangcheng and go somewhere else.”

Huo Zhixing and Lu Lishan were both stunned.

“I’m all grown up now, but my life goals aren’t that clear. I don’t know what I can do or what I want to do. I need some time to think about it.”

The two elderly people looked at each other and tacitly agreed with her idea.

Going out and seeing different aspects of the world can be beneficial; it might help you figure out what you should do.

"Besides reflecting on my own life, there is another very important thing I do."

Huo Jiayuan bit her lip, her tone incredibly firm—"I'm going to Biandu. Xiaoman might not be dead. She's there. I want to find her!"
