So what if he's a top star? In the end, he's still just an actor.

Wanting to slap him in the face? That's just a pipe dream!

Shen Xinghe sat down on the sofa naturally, crossed his legs, and said, "Xie Li is my sister, so our relationship is definitely better than yours."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Xie Li, afraid that Xie Li would deny it on the spot.

Fortunately, Xie Li knew that he was speaking up for him and insisted on being his older brother, so he reluctantly agreed.

Anyway, Grandpa Xu's family brought a bunch of grandfathers, uncles, and elders, as if this family reunion banquet was held just for them.

Even though Huo Yuntang wanted to maintain his composure in front of Xie Li, he couldn't help but get angry: "You!"

"What do you mean, 'I'? I haven't finished yet!" Seeing that Xie Li didn't refute him, Shen Xinghe was practically strutting around with his tail between his legs. He raised his chin and said, "Do you know how much this dress Xie Li is wearing costs? Oh, you don't know, because you're a frog in a well, you're ignorant."

Shen Xinghe felt he was being quite kind and patiently explained, "This dress is a haute couture piece from L brand. The starry sky is made of real diamonds, and it's all hand-sewn. It's one of a kind in the world and costs 9.99 million, which is more expensive than your jade jewelry set."

So, where does he get the audacity to boss Xie Li around like a father?

Huo Yuntang stood up abruptly with a cold face, feeling there was no need to continue the conversation there.

"Xie Li, although you are my savior, you are wrong to associate with actors like this and think that you can humiliate others at will just because you have some money!"

His eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Shen Xinghe. "And you, an actor is just an actor. You'll make more money if you leave first. Don't you know that capital can make you lose everything in a minute!"

As the head of the Huo Group, he could easily blacklist Shen Xinghe with a flick of his finger, bringing all his resources, endorsements, and business collaborations to a standstill.

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed. Shen Xinghe isn't someone any capital can touch," Luo Zhihan said with a smile.

Even in such a tense atmosphere, he still leisurely brewed tea, handed a cup to Xie Li after it was ready, his hand holding the teapot was as white as jade, like the most perfect work of art.

Huo Yuntang didn't take his words seriously, and even thought that these people were just making a fuss.

Shen Xinghe has been in the industry for over ten years and has always been a workaholic. He has also experienced lows and encountered some behind-the-scenes issues.

If he really had connections, why did he end up so destitute back then?

Xie Li held the teacup, took a sip, thought for a moment, and decided it was best to ask him to leave.

If Huo Yuntang were to stay here any longer, it would only spoil everyone's fun.

"If you have nothing else to do, you can go now, right?" Xie Li said. "Aren't you busy celebrating Xie Ziyuan's birthday?"

The first sentence made Huo Yuntang feel utterly humiliated, but the second sentence stirred something within him, and he suddenly looked up at Xie Li.

Xie Li was somewhat confused: "Aren't you leaving?"

Huo Yuntang smiled slowly and said gently, "Okay, then we'll meet again another day."

The assistant followed Huo Yuntang out the door, almost trembling with fear, when Huo Yuntang suddenly spoke up, "Is she jealous that I celebrated Ziyuan's birthday?"

assistant:"???"

They were completely baffled, and even wondered if Huo Yuntang had gone mad from the shock.

Huo Yuntang: "But I can't spoil her too much. It would be beneath my dignity to have her hanging out with a bunch of actors. Let's go to the Yunhe Hotel and proceed with the proposal as planned."

The more jealous Xie Li was, the more he wanted to fawn over Xie Ziyuan, hoping to make her submit and run into his arms.
