Not far away, Mr. Shen, who was supported by his eldest son, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the two people who were the center of attention at the banquet.

Mr. Shen, who has seen through many things at this age, was not angry about being overshadowed. He held his crutches, lowered his eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.

Instead, the eldest son standing next to him looked a little displeased, "Huo Siyuan, a junior, is so arrogant!"

They were unhappy and somewhat disheartened. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Shen family was declining, getting worse day by day. Even though they had put so much effort into hosting the old man's 80th birthday party, it was obvious that those people were more interested in currying favor with the Huo family than with the Shen family.

If I can't find another opportunity... I'm afraid that the Shen family will collapse at any time.

"I don't think Riven's plan is feasible." Mr. Shen stroked his beard and suddenly said.

"Grandpa?" The eldest son of the Shen family couldn't help but widen his eyes and lower his voice, "Didn't we agree on this..."

"Look over there." Old Master Shen looked in the direction of Huo Siyuan and interrupted him.

It seemed that the woman next to him was tired of standing in high heels. Huo Siyuan didn't care about the eyes of others and picked up the woman, put her on the sofa and sat down. He knelt on one knee and bent down to gently massage her ankle, which caused a commotion.

The eldest son of the Shen family almost popped his eyes out, and seriously suspected that Huo Siyuan had been replaced.

"this……"

Even the notoriously spineless son-in-law of the Li family who married into the family's family family would not do such a servile thing to please a woman in public, let alone Huo Siyuan.

Huo Siyuan, a man with a sinister character, tough tactics, vicious tactics, arrogance and coldness.

The eldest son of the Shen family had a look of disbelief on his face, as if what he saw was an illusion and a fairy tale.

Mr. Shen said meaningfully, glancing at the people around him with different expressions, "He is telling everyone that Song Li is his life."

"Who dares to touch his life?"

Master Shen glanced at his eldest son who seemed to be in a daze.

Song Li, he had lived for most of his life and seen countless people, but he still underestimated her. When Huo Hongye was alive, he spoiled her to the skies, and she thought Huo Hongye was just a pet he cared about, but when she came to Huo Siyuan, she even kowtowed to him to please her.

The eldest son of the Shen family couldn't help but lower his head, his eyes filled with shock and complexity, his expression changing from time to time.

"This method won't work. To save the Shen family, we have to find another way. The people from the He family in the imperial capital are here too. Come with me to meet them."

"...Yes, old man."

Song Li was stunned as she looked at Huo Siyuan kneeling in front of her. When his warm and powerful hands massaged her aching ankle through the hem of her black skirt, Song Li almost couldn't control herself and kicked him in the face.

"What are you doing?"

Countless astonished and incredulous gazes fell on him. Even without seeing the expressions of those around him, Song Li wanted to cover his face and crawl into a crack in the ground.

As soon as Song Li appeared, Shen Qianjiao rushed over excitedly, wanting to vent her anger.

The developments before her were beyond her expectations.

Shen Qianjiao gritted her teeth, her expression slightly distorted.

How dare that bitch Hua Rongrong lie to her!

Shen Qianjiao made a harsh note of the account in her heart and planned to go find Hua Rongrong to settle the account after the banquet.

Then, we saw Huo Siyuan kneeling down to massage Song Li's ankle.

"Shameless vixen!" Shen Qianjiao stomped her feet vigorously, the jealousy and anger in her eyes burning.

She was about to rush over and call him a vixen, but her mother, Madam Shen, stopped her in time and scolded her in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, this kind of situation is not for you to mess around! The He family is here, and the old man and your father asked me to take you over. Come here."

Shen Qianjiao could only glare hatefully at Song Li in the distance, and was pulled away by her mother.

Song Li didn't know that she had saved herself a trouble invisibly.

Song Li covered his face and acted like an ostrich.

Huo Siyuan finally let go of her ankle, stood up, and pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped his fingers casually.

"Mr. Huo really dotes on Mrs. Huo. Mrs. Huo is so lucky to have a husband who dotes on her so much."

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Huo is so happy."

Compared to the flattering words that came with the money, the words now seemed much more sincere.

Huo Siyuan stared at Song Li with a look of deep affection: "Meeting Ah Li is the greatest honor of my life."

Song Li: “…”

"I'm going to the bathroom."

[System, if the hero continues like this, I might not be able to hold on.]

As Song Li walked, he touched his heart which was beating abnormally.

Song Li is soft-hearted, not hard-headed. If you throw her some kind of tortured romance or prisoner party, she'd rather die than go to Stockholm. If you use soft tactics, she won't be able to handle it. Besides, Huo Siyuan hasn't been bad to her since she traveled through time.

Song Li now wished Huo Siyuan would stab her a few times, slap her a few times, torture her severely, break her heart, and make her restless heart quiet down...

Song Li was startled by this sudden thought and shook his head violently, trying to get rid of this terrible idea.

Oh my god, how could she have such a horrible idea? She's not a masochist.

The system almost exploded: [Think about your hometown. If you fall in love with the male protagonist and have sex with him, the mission will be immediately considered failed and you will never be able to return.]

[Isn't it okay if I don't have sex with him? System, is that thing the protagonist has a knife? Why is it that if I have sex with him, my way home will be blocked by a knife?]

system:【……】

System Threat: [This world is a world of both sweet and cruel abuse. The hero and heroine must remain pure for each other. If you abuse the hero and destroy his innocence, you will destroy the core plot of this world. Do you still want to go back? You will perish with this world!]

Song Li: “…”

Well, the slight fear that Huo Siyuan had just aroused in me disappeared completely in an instant.

The bathroom was decorated like a luxurious room, with soft and gentle music playing and a faint scent of incense filling every corner.

Song Li wiped his hands in front of the sink, and a sarcastic female voice came from behind him.

"She pretends to be so high and mighty, but secretly she has many ways of seducing men."

Song Li looked up and saw a beautiful face with three-dimensional features reflected in the mirror. The corners of her eyes were raised and her eyes were full of contempt.

She has an exotic look, with slightly curly red hair and light blue eyes, and is obviously a mixed-race.

She was covered in jewels, and every piece of jewelry was worth a fortune. She was dressed very gorgeously and looked very wealthy.

If someone else were dressed like this, they would just be a moving rack of clothes and jewelry, but this woman was not only beautiful, but also had a noble temperament. Her every move was filled with an innate arrogance, and the jewels all over her body not only did not cover her up, but complemented her.
