"Sui Sui, are you alright? What just happened?"
Huo Zhongyuan glanced discreetly at Hui Meiqing and her daughter as they walked away.
"Nothing, just chatting!"
Senior Brother Huo's sudden voice startled Qin Suisui.
She didn't want her senior brother to know about such a trivial matter and get angry.
"What are those two from the An family doing here again?"
Clearly, Huo Zhongyuan didn't believe Sui Sui's explanation was simple.
He turned his gaze to Zhang Lan, which almost made her burst out laughing.
"Look, I'm useless. Before I could even get a chance, your girlfriend dismissed me with a few words. Mr. Huo, you're too late!"
Huo Zhongyuan's lips curled slightly as he glanced at her before looking down at Qin Suisui.
"I've almost finished negotiating with my side. We'll head back after the auction!"
"Um!"
Qin Suisui nodded quickly. If it weren't for the special significance of this charity auction, she would have wanted to withdraw right now.
Huo Zhongyuan looked up at Yao Jing and Yuan Xiuhe, his expression indifferent.
"Mr. Yao, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Bei, I'll take my girlfriend over there to rest for a while. See you at the auction later!"
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go!"
Yuan Xiuhe waved her hand hastily, looking as if she couldn't wait for him to leave.
Qin Suisui glanced at the two of them, puzzled as to why Yuan Xiuhe, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now had such an expression.
Only after they had walked a distance did she ask in a low voice.
"Have you ever had a conflict with Yuan Xiuhe of Leading Venture Capital?"
Huo Zhongyuan replied without hesitation, "It seems not!"
"Then why does she avoid you like the plague?"
"Really? Then maybe we're in the same industry, and she's probably jealous that I once stole her business!"
Huo Zhongyuan spoke dismissively, his expression indifferent.
"If it's because I took her order, her anger is pointless!"
Qin Suisui looked at him amusedly: "Hey~ what's with that expression? It's so annoying!"
"It means she's overthinking things!"
In recent years, he hasn't needed to compete for orders at all; most of the time, people come to him with money, begging him to invest.
After Huo Zhongyuan walked away, Yuan Xiuhe gritted her teeth in annoyance.
"What a lucky break for Huo Zhongyuan! How could a beauty like Qin Suisui fall for such a scheming man? It's so unfair!"
Seeing Yuan Xiuhe practically looking up at the sky and sighing, Zhang Lan almost rolled her eyes out.
She looked down.
"Hurry up and wipe your drool. What are you comparing yourself to Huo Zhongyuan for?"
"What kind of talk is that? He's only two ounces more flesh than me."
Yuan Xiuhe was so angry that she jumped up and down when she saw Zhang Lan's gaze linger on her crotch for several seconds.
"You're only short two ounces of meat. Besides, is it really about two ounces of meat? How can you compare to Huo Zhongyuan!"
Zhang Lan slapped down the finger that was pointing at her, clearly annoyed.
"What a nasty habit!"
She muttered to herself, "Doesn't she have any self-awareness?"
"Zhang Lan, this Lawyer Qin has a beautiful face, like a peach blossom, and his words are sharp and intimidating!"
Bei Jin looked thoughtful; someone who could make Hui Meiqing give way was definitely not to be underestimated.
She began to take Qin Lu, whom Zhang Lan regarded as a close friend despite their age difference, seriously!
"It seems we really need to take the time to learn more about this!"
Yao Jing glanced at her amusedly and said with a laugh, "You really are a snob!"
"Every man for himself, or he'll be damned by heaven!"
Bei Jin coldly watched the two figures disappear into the distance, her mind racing with thoughts.
Huo Zhongyuan pulled Qin Suisui to the lounge and instructed a waiter to bring over an unopened bottle of fruit wine.
He took the fruit wine from the waiter, and carefully examined the packaging and bottle cap. Seeing that there were no signs of it being opened, he then opened it and handed it to Sui Sui.
"There are still two hours of auction time left. Let's have some fruit wine to calm our nerves. This kind of fruit wine isn't very strong!"
"Hmm, I'm actually a little thirsty!"
Qin Suisui accepted the fruit wine handed to her by her senior brother. Just now in the banquet hall, it was all Kaifeng red wine and grape wine.
Being in a banquet hall with the An family, she was afraid of being framed, so she didn't dare to drink a drop.
This small bottle of fruit wine is just right for my current mood.
She tilted her head back and drank a few mouthfuls, finally relieving her thirst.
"Phew~"
She took a deep breath and, being in a quiet environment, instantly felt much more relaxed.
What just happened?
Seeing that Sui Sui had finally recovered, Huo Zhongyuan asked softly.
"It's nothing, just a clown!"
Wherever Anru is, something always happens. She seems to have gotten used to it, but she just habitually stays vigilant and doesn't even dare to drink alcohol casually.
She dared not presume to know the bottom line of the An family.
"Is it your ex-boyfriend harassing you?"
Huo Zhongyuan spoke casually, but Qin Suisui felt that her senior brother's gaze was somewhat resentful.
She covered her mouth, wanting to laugh, when she used the word "resentful" to describe Senior Brother Huo.
Is it really that funny?
Huo Zhongyuan reached out and ruffled her hair, making Qin Suisui's black hair look disheveled.
"Huo Zhongyuan!"
Qin Suisui looked at her reproachfully, her fingers moving as she tidied her hair.
"Sui Sui!"
Huo Zhongyuan tightened his arms around her, holding her close, and rested his chin lightly on the top of her head.
His voice was cold and suppressed: "Sui Sui, I'm jealous of him!"
I'm jealous of the beautiful memories he shared with you! I'm jealous of the beautiful you in his memories!
At several recent business banquets, he encountered Yu Chengjue several times, and Yu's envious and jealous gazes were everywhere, even undisguised.
