Chapter 362 System: I discovered a secret
Huo Li walked out of the box and immediately saw Huo Kaiping standing in the corridor and Jiang Ning with his back to him.
Hearing Huo Kaiping's words, Jiang Ning sneered: "Could it be that what I just heard was a dog barking?"
Huo Kaiping choked and was about to retort with a frown, but Jiang Ning didn't want to listen to him babble. It would be a waste of time to say any more to such a person.
Jiang Ning's attitude towards the Huo family was genuine disgust. She looked directly at Huo Kaiping, her eyes cold and her voice as cold as ice: "Get out of the way."
Seeing Jiang Ning's attitude, Huo Kaiping frowned.
Although Jiang Ning had said before that they would be strangers when they met again, they were still blood relatives. Who was Jiang Ning trying to show off his superiority to? During the two years she lived in the Huo family, Jiang Ning had clearly taken the initiative to please him many times!
Huo Kaiping raised his head with an arrogant look, and was about to retort to Jiang Ning, but when he glanced around, he suddenly noticed Huo Li who was approaching the two of them from behind her.
Huo Kaiping was slightly startled: "Brother, why are you out too?"
Big brother... Huo Li? Jiang Ning frowned slightly. After a while, Huo Li walked up to the two of them. He looked at Huo Kaiping and said simply, "You go back to the box first."
As the next generation successor of the Huo Group, Huo Li has more say in the Huo family than Huo Song. Even Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, who are usually so arrogant and reckless, have to keep their tails between their legs and obey in front of Huo Li.
Naturally, after Huo Li said this, Huo Kaiping nodded without saying a word and left quickly.
As soon as Huo Kaiping left, Huo Li set his eyes on Jiang Ning and said in a gentle voice: "Jiang Ning, do you have time now to have dinner together?"
Jiang Ning: “…”
Jiang Ning looked up at Huo Li. He was wearing a neatly-fitting dark suit. He had a slender figure, a gentle and handsome appearance, and exuded a mature and steady aura.
Jiang Ning refused coldly: "I don't have time."
She was about to leave, but Huo Li raised his hand and stood in front of Jiang Ning. "I was away on a business trip some time ago, so I don't know what happened at home. Where do you live now? When are you free? Let's have a good chat."
Jiang Ning had lived in the Huo family for two years and had some understanding of the Huo family's personalities.
Huo Li is undoubtedly the most indifferent person in the Huo family. Jiang Ning has lived in the Huo family for two years, but Huo Li has almost never taken the initiative to talk to Jiang Ning, and his eyes towards Jiang Ning are always distant and cold.
He is not as simple-minded as Huo Kaian and Huo Kaiping, and is easily provoked by Huo Miao. Every time he is provoked by Huo Miao, he likes to jump in front of Jiang Ning. Of course, it may also be that Huo Miao feels that Huo Li is not as easy to control as the twin brothers, so he rarely flatters Jiang Ning in front of Huo Li.
But during the two years that Jiang Ning lived in the Huo family, Huo Li always treated Jiang Ning as a stranger with no connection to him.
This was the first time he lowered his status to talk to Jiang Ning, and he talked for such a long time.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Huo Li is also a member of the Huo family. Jiang Ning doesn't think that the Huo family can have any good intentions.
She clenched her hands into fists at her sides. If this was not a restaurant but an empty alley or the Huo family villa, Jiang Ning would at least punch him.
Meeting the Huo family one after another made Jiang Ning feel like she had stepped on several dead rats in a row. She was extremely disgusted.
Jiang Ning shouted coldly: "Get away, stay away from me."
She pushed away Huo Li's hand that was blocking her and left quickly.
Huo Li stood there, quietly watching Jiang Ning's back as she left. His originally gentle face suddenly turned cold, his eyes were deep and his face was expressionless.
His assistant immediately informed him that Jiang Ning was on the hot search today.
The better Jiang Ning's reputation on the Internet, the worse it is for the Huo family.
It was no secret that Jiang Ning and Huo Miao's identities had been swapped. In addition, Huo Miao had worked in the entertainment industry before, and their affair had caused such a big fuss that fans who followed Jiang Ning could easily find out everything about the affairs between Jiang Ning, Huo Miao and the Huo family with just a simple search.
The more people like Jiang Ning, the more they boycott the Huo family.
Huo Li had recently thought about how to remove Jiang Ning from his position as the darling of Internet traffic, but he had never thought of a way to solve the problem once and for all.
He asked someone to carefully investigate the good deeds that Jiang Ning had done recently and found that they were all true and Jiang Ning was not deliberately putting on a show.
He also wanted to use the same trick again and bribe the Internet trolls to throw dirty water on Jiang Ning. However, when the Internet troll studios heard his request, they all turned him away and refused to accept the order, saying that although they were Internet trolls who were making a lot of money, they also had patriotism and conscience.
Jiang Ning had done so many heroic things. Before there was absolute evidence that Jiang Ning was a bad person, they would never slander Jiang Ning, even if they were paid! Huo Li: "..."
If Jiang Ning had any negative information, Huo Miao would not have hired someone to write a short essay and hired internet trolls to post bad reviews to slander Jiang Ning.
Of course, he did all this because he couldn't contact Jiang Ning before. Now that he has seen Jiang Ning, he naturally still hopes that Jiang Ning can return to the Huo family.
In this way, netizens can also change their impression of the Huo Group.
If he promotes it well, maybe all the Huo’s stocks that have plummeted recently will rebound.
However, Jiang Ning didn't give them any chance at all, and her resistance and disgust towards them almost overflowed from her eyes.
Huo Li's handsome face looked indifferent.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Jiang Ning, who had been walking forward, suddenly turned around and met the gaze of Huo Li, who was staring at her expressionlessly.
Huo Li was stunned for once, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was too late for him to hide the coldness on his face.
Jiang Ning didn't seem surprised by his change. She just glanced at him and then looked away.
Jiang Ning pushed open the door of the private dining room where she and Qi Xingzhou were having dinner and walked in.
She knew that no one in the Huo family was a good person.
[Alas.] The system in my mind sighed faintly.
Every time it appeared in Jiang Ning's mind, it was either urging Jiang Ning to complete a task, or reminding Jiang Ning to release or complete a task.
This was the first time Jiang Ning heard it sigh.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask: "System, what's wrong with you?"
The system covered its eyes in pain: [I just scanned something, but I don’t know whether I should talk about it or not.] Jiang Ning: “Hmm?”
She returned to her position while communicating with the system in her mind.
The food in this restaurant is served really quickly. Jiang Ning felt like she had not been out for long, but the originally empty table was already filled with steaming hot food.
Qi Xingzhou was sitting at his seat. He was not playing with his phone. The dishes and chopsticks in front of him were clean. It was obvious that he was waiting for Jiang Ning.
"Why don't you eat?" Jiang Ning sat down and said, "It's just the two of us, no need to be so polite."
At this time, the system in my mind couldn't help but speak softly: [Host, I'll tell you a secret. There is an illicit transaction between Huo Miao and Huo Song.]
