In the banquet hall, Huo Zi walked around with Fu Nanting for a while and then wanted to go to the bathroom.
"I'll go with you." Fu Nanting put his arm around her waist and walked towards the bathroom.
With the shadow of the incident that happened to her in the bathroom last time, Fu Nanting now dared not let Huo Zi out of his sight when taking her out.
Huo Zi brushed his hand away: "No, I'll go by myself.
The guests at today's banquet are either wealthy or noble, and many of them have business dealings with the company. Please chat with them."
"Besides, I have my own space, no one can hurt me, don't worry!" Huo Zi leaned close to Fu Nanting's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Fu Nanting was still worried and insisted on going with him.
"In my heart, you and the children are the most important, and work comes second."
Huo Zi couldn't persuade him and just went along with him.
A few minutes later, the two returned to the banquet hall. Huo Zi smelled the dessert and felt a little greedy: "I'm going to the dessert area to get some food, you go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about me!
I've got some food and will be waiting for you in the lounge area.
You can always see me there, so you can feel at ease!" Huo Zi pointed to the rest area in the corner.
Fu Nanting looked in the direction of her finger, pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "Okay, then don't move around, call me if you need anything."
Huo Zi was pregnant, and although she was wearing flat shoes, Fu Nanting was worried that she would get tired if she stood for too long.
Today's business exchange meeting is very important. Not only are all the leaders of the capital's leading companies here, but many foreign investors are also here.
He knew the reason why Fu Yanli asked him to come to the exchange meeting. On the one hand, Fu Yanli didn't want to come, and another reason was to expand his network of contacts.
That guy knew that he wanted to leave the Fu Group and work on his own!
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Even if the Fu Group leaves him, it can still survive with Fu Yanli around.
But now all his assets have been given to his wife, and he is a pauper. He plans to work hard while he is still young.
With a ready-made network of contacts, it was easy for him to start a new company...
…
Huo Zi picked up a few desserts from the dessert area and then came to the rest area, where she ate the desserts leisurely by herself.
A moment later, a woman in a red evening gown came over to sit across from Huo Zi, holding a glass of red wine. "Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Huo family? I haven't seen you for a while, and your belly is so big!"
"It seems that you married into the Fu family because of your son's status. You are living a very comfortable life!
Mr. Fu San used to dislike you very much.
I wonder what tricks you used to make him so cautiously protect you now? Can you tell me so I can learn from you?
As soon as the woman finished speaking, several other women gathered around and started to make a noise: "That's right, Madam Fu San, we are all women. Mr. Fu San dotes on you so much now, it must be that you are very good at controlling your husband. Why don't you share your experience with us all!"
Huo Zi raised her eyes and glanced at the group of hypocritical women, then lowered her eyes and continued eating dessert.
She disdains to pay attention to rude people.
"Hey, are you mute? I'm asking you a question!" The woman's face turned cold instantly when she saw Huo Zi ignoring her.
The Huo family almost went bankrupt before. If it weren't for Fu Nanting's investment, the Huo family would have disappeared from the imperial capital long ago.
Huo Zi was an unloved little poor girl before. If she had not married into the Fu family, with the Huo family's broken company, any of them could kill Huo Zi with just a flick of their fingers.
"Heh, who the hell are you?" Huo Zi said sarcastically after finishing her dessert.
"Hehe, are you blind? You are so arrogant and pretending not to know me!" The woman stood up angrily when she heard Huo Zi asking her who she was.
Huo Zi curled the corners of her mouth lazily: "Are you RMB? I need to get to know you!"
The woman in red was once the original owner's fake sister, Sun Yuanyuan. She was rejected by Fu Nanting because of her confession. Later, she learned that the original owner had successfully climbed into Fu Nanting's bed by despicable means, so she broke up with the original owner. After that, the original owner married into the Fu family, which made her even more jealous of the original owner.
In her previous life, Sun Yuanyuan often teamed up with Lin Yuwei to bully the original owner.
Unfortunately, in this life, Huo Zi's heart has changed to another person.
She now thought that coming to Huo to seek a sense of existence was simply asking for trouble.
Huo Zi called a waiter over and ordered a glass of juice, and asked, "Why did you let a dog into the party?
The dog was so loud that it scared my baby."
The waiter looked at Sun Yuanyuan, his face froze, and he didn't know how to respond.
He's just a waiter, any answer would be wrong.
He had seen many such banquets where several women would cause trouble for one woman.
Generally speaking, those who are in trouble are those with lower backgrounds than those women.
But the woman in front of him had just been carefully protected by Mr. Fu San.
How dare the eldest daughter of the Sun family provoke her?
Seeing that she had frightened the waiter, Huo Zi chuckled and said, "Go and get busy. I won't make it difficult for you to work."
The waiter nodded and hurried away from the battlefield.
Women's battles are more terrifying than men's.
"Heh!" Sun Yuanyuan became even more angry when she saw Huo Zi, whose temperament had completely changed after not seeing him for a few months.
"Huo Zi, this is your true face!
Arrogant and condescending!
All the pity and weakness I showed before were just an act!
Oh, I always treated you as a good sister. You knew that I liked Mr. Fu San, but you used despicable means to get into his bed behind my back.
How can you, such a dirty person, be worthy of...?"
"Bang!" A long leg suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked Sun Yuanyuan away, interrupting her whining.
What followed was an angry roar: "Who gave you the guts to speak rudely to my wife?" Fu Nanting had been paying attention to Huo Zi's every move. When he saw people surrounding her, he felt something was wrong. He came over to see the situation without thinking, but he didn't expect to hear someone insulting her as soon as he arrived.
