Chapter 76: Like Wearing a Mask



Song Li looked at the man in front of him holding Hua Rongrong's arm. This was the original owner's bootlicker Shen Ruiwen who later threw himself into the arms of the heroine Hua Rongrong. He looked like a decent man, but in the end he turned the tables and added fuel to the original owner's tragic ending.

When Song Li's gaze fell on Shen Ruiwen, Huo Siyuan's body tensed up and he involuntarily increased the strength of his arms around Song Li.

Shen Ruiwen was elegant and graceful, looking at Song Li with gentle eyes, her shadow reflected in his eyes, focused and gentle. It was just a simple sentence, but it seemed to contain thousands of words.

"Miss Song, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been lately?"

Song Li suddenly discovered that Huo Siyuan gave her the same feeling as Shen Ruiwen in the past.

The way he smiles and his temperament are very similar to Huo Siyuan's.

Song Li turned and looked at Huo Siyuan.

Or is Huo Siyuan imitating him?

The original text describes Huo Siyuan as cold and gloomy, cruel and vicious, and moody.

But Huo Siyuan was extremely gentle in front of her, as if he was wearing a realistic mask, covering up the sinister madness in his bones, pretending to be gentle, elegant, and affectionate.

And this mask... looks very much like Shen Ruiwen.

Song Ligang was so shocked by this inexplicable idea that he didn't even notice what Shen Ruiwen had just said.

"Ali, is he prettier or am I?"

Huo Siyuan suddenly turned her face and asked.

Song Li was unable to react for a moment: "What?"

Huo Siyuan's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes. He repeated again: "Is he good-looking or am I good-looking?"

Song Li was baffled. Huo Siyuan's expression seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were murderous. She could only perfunctorily say, "You look good."

Huo Siyuan's voice was slightly aggrieved as he pinched Song Li's face: "I'm pretty, why are you looking at him and not me?"

Song Li, who was forced to face him, said: "..."

“Puff!”

Someone nearby couldn't help but chuckle, but the next second they immediately covered their mouths to muffle the sound.

The music in the banquet hall seemed to have stopped. The guests who were chatting and laughing just now stopped and looked at the scene in front of them with different expressions.

Shen Ruiwen, the eldest grandson of the Shen family, is said to have had a crush on Song Li. If it weren't for the objection of the deceased Mr. Huo, he would have been engaged to Song Li long ago.

This kind of gathering of current and former partners and the tense atmosphere really excites the onlookers.

"Mr. Huo, please be respectful to Miss Song in public." Shen Ruiwen frowned slightly, looking displeased. When his eyes fell on Song Li, he couldn't help but feel distressed and pity.

According to Hua Rongrong, Miss Song had a very difficult and aggrieved life in the Huo family. Huo Siyuan was overbearing and moody, treating Miss Song like a prisoner and even forbidding her from leaving the house. Huo Siyuan controlled her solely to inherit the Huo family. This incredibly proud Miss Song, seemingly a moon high in the sky, was trapped like a cat in a cage...

Song Li got goosebumps all over her body when she saw his loving gaze.

Huo Siyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled chillingly, "Mr. Shen, please be careful about how you address her. She is my wife, Mrs. Huo."

Mrs. Huo...

Shen Ruiwen felt a slight pain in his heart.

Song Li: Big brother, is it appropriate for you to look at me like this while holding the heroine in your arms? Can't you see that the heroine's face is ugly and her expression is wrong?

"Ali, aren't you tired? Let's go first." Huo Siyuan touched Song Li's head lovingly and smiled.

Song Li: "I..."

"Xiao Li! I have something important to tell you! Can you come with me?" Hua Rongrong interrupted Song Li. She bit her lip, seemed to muster up all her courage, and then lowered her head. Under Huo Siyuan's cold gaze, Hua Rongrong's eyes were evasive, and her misty eyes, like Bambi's, seemed even more pitiful and timid, attracting people's heartache.

"Sure." Song Li originally wanted to find Hua Rongrong, and wanted to go over when he heard that.

Huo Siyuan held her arm tightly and didn't move at all.

Song Li: "Huo Siyuan, let go."

Shen Ruiwen broke free from Hua Rongrong's arm and strode forward, "Mr. Huo, Ali is not your forbidden lover. She is a living person. You have no right to control her and not allow her to interact with others."

Very good, "Miss Song" directly became "Ali."

It was unknown if Shen Ruiwen's words had irritated Huo Siyuan's mind. An incomprehensible emotion welled up in his eyes, a gloomy, bloodthirsty look, like the bottomless abyss of hell. But it quickly subsided, in a fraction of a second, so fleeting it seemed like an illusion.

Song Li, who was standing next to him, still noticed something and was inexplicably frightened. He subconsciously took a step back away from him.

Huo Siyuan said coldly, "I will not allow my wife to have any contact with a wild man who covets her." As he spoke, he exuded an intimidating aura, his eyes were as dark and deep as the abyss of hell, and he was filled with murderous intent.

Shen Ruiwen felt a chill on his back, and his gentle and handsome face turned slightly pale.

"I just want to say a few words to Xiao Li, Yuan...Mr. Huo, you can't be so overbearing that you won't even agree to this." Hua Rongrong said timidly.

Huo Siyuan didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to look at Shen Ruiwen coldly.

"That's enough," Song Li said, not wanting to pay attention to the two men, especially Huo Siyuan. "Hua Rongrong and I will go talk to the side, you guys continue."

This time Huo Siyuan did not stop them. Song Li followed Hua Rongrong through the banquet hall and headed towards the corridor on the second floor.

After the gaze that had been following her all the time disappeared, Hua Rongrong stopped.

The face that was so gentle and lovely a second ago immediately became gloomy. Hua Rongrong crossed her arms in front of her chest, and her face, which looked like she was either crying or about to cry, revealed an undisguised sinister and twisted expression. Combined with the dim lighting in the aisle, her loose long hair and white dress, she looked like someone who could be used in a horror movie.

Song Li was startled when the little white flower's face changed.

"Song Li, do you know how disgusting you are?"

Hua Rongrong suddenly said something.

Song Li: “???”

"You keep saying I'm your last friend and you're willing to share everything with me, but in reality, what do you think I am? A tool to fulfill your vanity? You only give me things you don't want, treating me like a beggar, acting like you're superior, and expecting me to shed tears of gratitude. It's truly disgusting."

"You clearly knew that I liked Brother Yuan, but you deliberately took advantage of my love for him to insult me, tease me, and plot against me, and even let him drive me away. How could you be so vicious? You made you so sick? Do you think Brother Yuan loved you? Oh, Brother Yuan didn't even give you a wedding, not even a ring. He just wanted to use you, to use you to get the Huo family. One day, you will be abandoned by Brother Yuan like a piece of trash."

Hua Rongrong became more and more excited as she spoke, and the smile on her face seemed to twist.
