Kuang Xin raised an eyebrow. "Young Master Yan? Are you standing up for someone who's wronged us?"
Yan Zhuo said, "Everyone says that Miss Kuang Xin is smart, capable, and knows how to behave properly. But after seeing her today, I realize that the rumors are completely untrue."
Kuang Xin: "Are you in such a hurry to step forward? Is there something more to your relationship?"
Jian Yu shouted loudly, "Uncle Li!"
Li Bo disregarded his gentlemanly manners and grabbed Kuang Xin's arm, pushing her away.
Kuang Xin, “…”
Why resort to violence?
"Let go!"
Li Bo pushed even faster.
They shoved and jostled their way to the door, when Uncle Li suddenly stopped. Kuang Xin seized the opportunity to steady herself. "Jian..."
"What is this for?"
Huo Qizhen's displeased voice rang out.
Kuang Xin turned around subconsciously, and Huo Qizhen finally saw her face clearly. He frowned and asked, "Miss Kuang, didn't you say you were going back to the company? What are you doing here?"
“I heard that Miss Jane is back, so I came to see her. You know how big this whole thing has been lately, I’m just curious.”
Jian Yu scoffed, "Yeah! Everyone's so curious about how I got this house!"
Kuang Xin smiled brightly, "Of course I'm concerned about that. After all, Qi Zhen and I are about to get married, so I naturally have the right to be curious about the houses he gave to other women."
Kuang Xin waited to see Jian Yu's expression change, but after a while, she found Jian Yu looking at her strangely. "Hmm?"
Jian Yu pointed at Kuang Xin and asked the person behind her, "Do you want me to clarify?"
What rumors are we debunking?
Kwong Sum turned around and reached out to grab Fok Kai-chun's arm.
Halfway there, they were stopped by Huo Qizhen's bodyguards.
Kuang Xin was displeased and said, "Get out of the way."
Huo Qizhen: "Miss Kwong, please have some self-respect."
"Self-respect?"
Kuang Xin seemed to have heard a joke.
"You weren't acting this way when you asked me to arrange a marriage? Huo Qizhen, I know you have special feelings for Jian Yu, so I've let you spend a lot of money hiring people to search for her these past few days. But you have to consider my feelings too. My fiancé is making such a fuss over another woman, where do you expect me to put my face?"
Kuang Xin's words left even more people bewildered.
Yan Zhuo: "Miss Kuang said Mr. Huo is your fiancé, but I've never heard of you two getting engaged?"
Kuang Xin said, "The engagement ceremony hasn't been held yet, but the two families have already discussed it. If Jian Yu hadn't gone missing, I would have understood his feelings. And after Grandma Huo passed away, I would have discussed the engagement banquet with him long ago."
Yan Zhuo became increasingly confused by Kuang Xin's words, so he had no choice but to ask Jian Yu, "Do you know what's going on?"
Jian Yu had no idea, but she didn't believe it at all. "Mr. Huo on the other side, aren't you going to explain?"
Huo Qizhen said, "Her fiancé is in the funeral hall next door. How was I supposed to know that she wouldn't even know who her fiancé was?"
It seems that Huo Yunzhen is using Huo Qizhen's identity to act.
Yan Zhuo, "Did you hear that? Miss Kuang, your fiancé is Huo Yunzhen. I wonder if you went to pay your respects just now?"
Kuang Xin was completely taken aback, swaying slightly. "Are you kidding me?"
Huo Qizhen: "Why would I joke with Miss Kuang? Weren't you chatting happily with Huo Yunzhen before?"
Kwong Sum: "I did that for company business."
Huo Qizhen: "It has nothing to do with me."
Kuang Xin: "Your father said he wanted us to get engaged, and that you were very satisfied with me, and that I could definitely be a good young mistress of the Huo family conglomerate."
Huo Qizhen: "Are you sure my dad is talking about me, and not Huo Yunzhen?"
Kuang Xin, “???”
Huo Qizhen: "My dad was talking to you about the Huo family heir."
Kuang Xin frowned. "Aren't you the heir to the Huo family conglomerate?"
Kenneth Fok said, "In my father's eyes, the heir is another son."
Kuang Xin, “…”
Yan Zhuo found it utterly absurd that Huo An actually wanted to commit marriage fraud?
Jian Yu shook his head slightly, "It's not a lie, his original plan was to support Huo Yunzhen as his successor."
Yan Zhuo was very surprised. His parents were loving and his family was harmonious. They also cared for him and Yan Shi very much. He never thought that such an outrageous thing would happen.
Kuang Xin quickly recalled all the past events in her mind and found that Huo An had indeed never mentioned Huo Qizhen's name. He always said that she was suitable to be the young mistress of the Huo Group and that she would definitely be able to raise an excellent next generation after marrying the heir.
She had a preconceived notion that the heir would be Huo Qizhen.
Huo An must have known that she was interested in Huo Qizhen, which is why he played word games. If it weren't for the unexpected passing of Old Madam Huo, which delayed the engagement, she might have only found out who her fiancé was at the engagement banquet.
In front of various high-society guests, Kuang Xin certainly wouldn't admit that she had made a mistake in choosing her fiancé, so she could only force herself to get through this hurdle first.
Kuang Xin's eyes were filled with resentment. "Did you already know? No wonder you never reply when I try to chat with you."
Huo Qizhen: "You didn't ask me about the engagement?"
Kuang Xin, “…” It seems that it really is true. In order to attract Huo Qizhen’s attention, she deliberately chose a few charming photos to send over, and the voice messages she sent were mainly flirtatious and coquettish, without mentioning the engagement at all.
Kuang Xin was somewhat incredulous; how could she have been so careless?
No wonder everyone in the room was dissatisfied with her. She has no official status, yet she dares to come to our door and assert her dominance!
Everyone probably thinks she's a crazy woman who's only interested in jealousy and fighting for attention.
She has really embarrassed herself to the extreme.
Kuang Xin covered her face and ran out, sobbing.
Yan Zhuo also took his leave.
Huo Qizhen walked into the house and pulled Jian Yu to sit on the sofa. "Don't let people you don't know in."
Jian Yu nodded. "You might not know, but I met Kuang Mei before. She said you had taken a liking to Kuang Xin and told me to stay away from you. I found it strange. Everyone says Kuang Xin is shrewd and capable. I was just curious why she came to see me?"
Luckily we let her in, otherwise we wouldn't have seen such outrageous gossip.
Huo Qizhen was speechless at Kwong Mei's words. "This daughter of the Kwong family is notoriously dim-witted. If you see her again, stay away from her."
Thinking of Kuang Mei's injured eye, Jian Yu nodded, "We should stay away!"
What if someone retaliates against her again and she gets caught in the crossfire because she's nearby?
Speaking of the impact, Jian Yu unconsciously rubbed her neck, as if she herself often encountered a lot of troubles.
Thinking of the amulet she had just lost, she wondered if she should go to the temple to pray for it.
Why weren't you at the mourning hall?
“Someone saw Shan Zhen and An Ke behaving very intimately at your doorstep. Now that Shan Zhen can’t be found, Second Master is furious and sent me to check.”
"Sorry! I didn't keep a close eye on Anke."
"It's not your fault, Shan Zhen was just too absurd."
Jian Yu checked the security camera footage at the entrance and discovered that the two had come in with Ou Na and were now embracing tightly and kissing passionately behind her garden.
