Chapter 858 The Charming Fairy

In addition to Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou, the Huo family also has a bodyguard named Lao Chen who follows them closely.

There are four bodyguards in black behind him. They look tough and have sharp eyes. They are not people to be trifled with.

They actually brought so many people to the banquet. They were very careful.

Pei Zheng smiled faintly: "Boss Huo is so cautious when he goes out that he even brings five bodyguards with him. Are you afraid that something might go wrong at our Pei family banquet?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid."

Huo Xingzhou spoke briefly and to the point, without giving Pei Zheng any face.

Pei Zheng was very upset when he saw that he didn't even say a word.

He said sarcastically: "Boss Huo is really timid."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were calm, and he said calmly, "Not long ago, someone almost died at the Thirteen Bays Pier, and even Zhong Yi almost died there. Then there was the fire that no one could find out. Mr. Pei can't manage his own backyard well, but I can't let my wife and children take risks."

Is this a mockery?

Absolutely!

Pei Zheng smiled with a fake smile: "Boss Huo is really a good man."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Since you are here, please come in. The sea breeze is cold, don't let your wife get frozen."

"If President Pei hadn't blocked the way, we would have gone in long ago." Huo Xingzhou put his arm around Qiao Xi's shoulders and went in from the side.

The bodyguards also followed.

Pei Zheng stared at their backs and said, "Find a few people to watch them and make sure they don't do anything weird. We can't afford to miss the banquet tonight."

"Yes, young master."

Pei Zheng rubbed his fingers, some grudges would be taken back someday!

The banquet hall was bustling.

Many guests were chatting with each other while holding glasses of wine, and some single young men and women were wandering around, seemingly looking for an opportunity.

Qiao Xi said softly, "Are we just here to attend the banquet today?"

The Huo family doesn’t have to come to the Pei family’s banquet.

Huo Xingzhou said calmly: "Seeing that it's lively, I'm here to help."

He was busy just because he was busy.

Qiao Xi frowned in confusion: "Why don't I know who else you are going to help?"

“You’ll know when it’s over.”

Keeping you in suspense again.

Qiao Xi did not ask any more questions, but looked towards the banquet hall.

The cruise ship was decorated very gorgeously, like a fantasy. The dazzling crystal lights fell, illuminating the magnificent banquet hall, adding a bit of nobility. She smelled a strong fragrance coming, and a young woman in a red dress, holding a wine glass, with wavy hair and twisting her waist, came over.

"Mr. Huo, nice to meet you. I've heard that you are handsome and extraordinary. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."

The woman seemed like an enchantress, with a seductive tone in her voice and eyes.

She is very beautiful, comparable to Guan Jingtan.

But he is more worldly than Guan Jingtan.

Huo Xingzhou didn't even look at her, let alone say a word.

The woman was not angry, nor did she cling to him. Instead, she turned to her next target, flitting around the scene like a butterfly.

Qiao Xi asked curiously, "Who is that?"

Old Chen reminded gently, "She is the younger sister of Pei's eldest wife Zhao Yaru. She just returned to China after her divorce. She is a famous socialite abroad. She has hooked up with many people with her beautiful looks and figure."

"Isn't Pei Zheng very concerned about his reputation? Can he allow his sister-in-law to bring disgrace to the family?"

"Young Madam, you don't understand this. Many of the Pei family's overseas connections are based on Zhao Zhenmei. Men will always ignore some details, such as face, in the face of interests."

So that's how it is.

"So she just..."

"She is trying to seduce our young master. If there is no fun, I will switch to the next one."

This is casting a wide net.

Qiao Xi looked over in the direction of her figure and discovered that Zhao Zhenmei had already started talking to a young man.

Her every move and gesture is full of natural charm.

After a few moves, the young man was completely confused, his eyes were full of infatuation, and he wished he could pay with his life.

Qiao Xi was amazed at her ability and asked, "Did she return to China because of the divorce? Or was there another reason?"

Huo Xingzhou did not give a direct answer, but just said: "Zhong Lingxiao is also divorced."

The meaning of this statement is very clear.

Zhao Zhenmei wanted to get in touch with Zhong Lingxiao, or it could be said that the Pei family wanted Zhao Zhenmei and Zhong Lingxiao to get closer.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips. The water in the upper class was indeed very deep. One could drown without even noticing if one was not careful.

Huo Xingzhou pinched her fingers and said, "Go sit for a while. Your waist is not comfortable standing all the time."

Qiao Xi nodded obediently: "Okay, go and do whatever you want."

Huo Xingzhou really had something to do, so he left after leaving Old Chen behind.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to drink what she had put in her mouth. She carefully observed the noisy banquet hall. In the middle of the banquet hall was a small stage, where a band was playing at the moment, and behind it was a huge screen with changing images.

On the side is a spiral staircase decorated with flowers and silk.

The lights are very bright. Such a luxurious environment can easily make people forget who they are and where they are. They will only be immersed in such an atmosphere and find it difficult to sober up.

Qiao Xi looked around but didn't see Zhong Yi.

He accepted the Pei family's invitation, so why hasn't he come yet?

"Mr. Chen, is Zhong Yi here?"

Old Chen said softly, "I didn't see him. I looked for him when I came in. Maybe Master Zhong came early and went to the lounge. Or maybe he hasn't come yet."

"Where is his lounge?"

"Second floor."

"Then come with me and look for it."

Lao Chen was a little hesitant, but finally agreed.

"Young Madam, please follow me and be careful."

Qiao Xi followed Lao Chen, holding up her skirt, and walked to the lounge on the second floor. Many of the lounges on the second floor had their doors open, and there were guests putting on makeup. When they saw Qiao Xi's familiar face, they couldn't help but take a second look.

If we were to say who has the best luck in the entire imperial capital, it would be Madam Huo Shao.

Qiao Xi ignored the gazes falling on her, and looked at the names marked on the house numbers one by one, and finally her eyes fell on a closed door.

Favorite room.

She raised her hand to knock on the door when she heard a strange laugh.

"It's said that Madam Huo and the second son of the Zhong family were childhood sweethearts and had an ambiguous relationship. I didn't expect that as soon as Mr. Huo left, you couldn't wait to look for your old lover. You really deserve Mr. Huo's kindness."

At the other end of the corridor, Mrs. Pei, wearing an expensive dress and holding a glass of red wine in her hand, walked towards them with a swaying step.

As always, her daughter-in-law Zhao Yaru was by her side.

A hint of coldness appeared on Qiao Xi's face.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

"Mrs. Huo, have you nothing to say? It seems like you have something to hide. It must feel good to have two relationships at the same time, right?" Mrs. Pei felt hatred when she thought of the scene where this little bitch teased her in the studio and she wasted more than 8 million yuan.

I wish I could smash her pretty little face.
