Huo Beichen turned and walked forward.
"Mr. Huo..." The two men who were taking care of Zeze wanted to explain, but Huo Beichen raised his hand to interrupt them.
“Zeze,” Huo Beichen said, “you should learn to deal with people.”
Zeze seemed very afraid of Huo Beichen. Upon hearing this, she immediately stopped throwing a tantrum and obediently nodded.
Huo Beichen took his hand and they walked forward together.
Jiang Xiaowei walked over with a smile, took Zeze's other hand, and said, "Let's go in together."
The two men who were taking care of Zeze breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master only obeys Chief Steward Huo."
"What do you know? The young master isn't throwing a tantrum; he just wants to get more of Mr. Huo's attention."
"That's true, a child without a mother, not to mention that the father could have a new child at any time."
Huo Beichen entered the venue and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In recent years, Huo Beichen's company has had close cooperation with three major companies, Lu, Lin, and Yun, and has developed rapidly.
Of course, Jiang Xiaowei's father's help was also indispensable.
"It seems that Mr. Huo and Miss Jiang's wedding is imminent."
"Huo Beichen is lucky to have won the favor of Miss Jiang."
"Miss Jiang was devoted to him. She was a young lady who had never been married before, and she went to great lengths to be his stepmother."
"She made a gamble, and she had a good eye; she bet on the right thing!"
"With such a broad perspective, Huo Beichen probably both loves and respects her. She'll have no trouble controlling Huo Beichen in the future."
Huo Beichen paused slightly. Not far away, several business partners were chatting together.
“Dad, you go ahead and attend to your work,” Zeze said at the opportune moment. “Auntie and I will go get something to eat first.”
Huo Beichen looked at him: "Promise me you won't cause trouble."
Zeze nodded obediently: "Don't worry, Dad."
Jiang Xiaowei also said, "Don't worry, I'll take Zeze with me."
Huo Beichen then left with peace of mind.
Seeing him walk away, Zeze turned around and unceremoniously shook off Jiang Xiaowei's hand, heading straight for the buffet table.
Jiang Xiaowei quickly looked around to make sure no one noticed anything unusual, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Zeze, if you cause trouble today, you'll be embarrassing your father. You need to think it through,” Jiang Xiaowei said, standing next to Zeze at the buffet table.
Zeze held up a small plate for her and asked, "Aunt Wei, would you like a small cake?" The plate contained a piece of cake.
Jiang Xiaowei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
She reached out and took the small plate, but whether her hand was shaking or not, the plate tipped over towards her.
And this is a lava cake...
There was a large stain on her dress.
"Aunt Wei, you're so careless." Zeze shrugged and ran away in a flash.
Jiang Xiaowei turned pale with anger.
She should have been wary long ago; all the kindness this child had shown her over the years was just pretense!
Suddenly, she felt a gaze upon her.
She immediately turned her head, but that gaze vanished in an instant.
She caught nothing, but she saw that woman named Hua Fei again... At first glance, she looked exactly like Sheng Nanyin.
"Miss, what's wrong?" She brought a personal assistant with her and a formal dress.
"Go change into your dress first," she said, frowning in annoyance.
The stained dress was a limited edition. Putting aside how much it cost, the chocolate cream stains on it basically ruined the dress.
“Miss, we should tell Mr. Huo about this,” the assistant said, also quite angry. “Not to mention how much effort you put into this dress, Zeze should be disciplined for what he did.”
"If I tell him, will he still believe that Zeze and I get along well?" Jiang Xiaowei asked rhetorically.
The assistant pursed his lips helplessly.
That's right, the young lady needs to pretend to be all amiable in front of Huo Beichen to prove that she is qualified to be a good stepmother.
“Miss, you’re too good to Mr. Huo,” the assistant sighed. “If Mr. Huo had any conscience, he should have proposed to you!”
Jiang Xiaowei looked at her: "You say that, but you're actually thinking I'm love-struck, right?"
"No, no, how could that be!" The assistant quickly shook his head.
Instead of being annoyed, Jiang Xiaowei smiled and admired her new dress in the mirror. "It doesn't matter what others think of me. As long as I know what I'm doing, that's enough."
...
While Lin Zhibai and Lu Dongjue were talking, their eyes had already glanced at the door several times.
However, the figure he was expecting never appeared.
"Who are you waiting for?" Lu Dongjue could tell that he had something on his mind.
Yun Suiwan, who was standing next to Lu Dongjue, also looked over.
Lin Zhibai withdrew his gaze: "Fan Yan is back. I wonder if she will come over tonight."
Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan were both taken aback.
They didn't know about this.
Yun Suiwan immediately took her phone out of her bag, preparing to call Gu Fanyan, "I was chatting with Sister Fanyan just half a month ago, and she didn't say she would be coming back..."
Lu Dongjue grasped her hand holding the phone. "I reckon Sister Fanyan will be here. We'll ask her face-to-face later."
At that moment, Lin Zhibai spotted a familiar figure: Chen Qiao.
He looked around at her, but still couldn't see Gu Fanyan.
He took a few steps forward, trying to catch up with Chen Qiao to ask her questions, but several guests passed by on the street in front of him.
After that, Chen Qiao disappeared.
He was somewhat disappointed, and without realizing it, he walked to the buffet table.
The dining table is about 50 meters long and is filled with all kinds of food. The plating is also very exquisite, which makes people's appetites whetted just by looking at it.
Lin Zhibai had no appetite at all.
Suddenly, he felt his trouser leg moving.
He looked down in confusion and saw a round-headed, chubby little boy grabbing his trouser leg and shaking his little hand vigorously.
On her chubby little face, a pair of bright, round, black eyes stared intently at him.
Where did this child come from!
Just as Lin Zhibai was wondering, a nonchalant voice rang out: "When did you have a son?"
He turned his head and saw Huo Beichen standing beside him.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Zhibai frowned. "I don't know where this child came from either!"
If this gets to Fan Yan's ears, it might cause a huge misunderstanding!
"Dad... Dad..." Before he could finish speaking, the little boy suddenly called out to him.
this……
Huo Beichen smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, this occasion doesn't seem appropriate for revealing your private life."
"Shut up!" Lin Zhibai shouted angrily at him, grabbing the little boy's vest with one hand and lifting him up.
The little boy dangled in the air, giggling, and waving his arms and legs around.
Lin Zhibai sized up the child, who was about three years old, with fair skin and well-dressed.
It was confirmed that the child was not a homeless child, but rather someone brought by a guest to the dinner party.
That is indeed quite rare.
He had attended this banquet for many years in a row, but this was the first time he had encountered such a young guest.
“Kid,” Lin Zhibai asked him, “what’s your name?”
"Yo yo." The little boy was having so much fun "swimming" that he ignored him.
