As the voice fell, the women at the scene looked towards the door excitedly. They saw Huo Si's tall figure appear at the banquet entrance. He looked dusty, but there was a decadent charm between his brows.
"It's Master Huo!" someone exclaimed excitedly, "Why is he here?"
Huo Si was a god-like figure in the entire Shangjing circle. He was both handsome and had unparalleled business talent.
In addition, he doesn't like to attend events on weekdays, so it is extremely difficult for many socialites and rich girls to meet him.
And some companies that have cooperated with the Huo Group cannot see him just because they want to.
Therefore, when he appeared, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a climax.
Si Nan hadn't expected him to come. Coming back to his senses, he walked over with a smile on his face. "Mr. Huo, it's a real honor for us to have you here today."
Huo Si ignored his flattery and just repeated what he had just said: "I say, who are you calling a disgrace?"
The same words, but with a stronger warning tone.
"I..." Si Nan was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Mr. Huo, my father just blamed my sister." Si Tong gently tried to help Si Nan resolve the embarrassment.
"Are you worthy of being my wife's sister?" Huo Si looked at her with contempt.
As these words fell, the whole place erupted in laughter: "His wife? Didn't they say that the husband of the Si family's daughter is old and ugly?"
"Yeah, didn't Si Tong just say that the beauty got into the old man's car? Did she cheat on Mr. Huo? She can't be that stupid. That's Mr. Huo from Shangjing, the richest man in China!"
The Si family looked at the situation in front of them in disbelief, their faces turning pale with fear.
They never expected that the man Si Muyan would marry in a flash was Huo Si!
Si Nan remained calm and apologized immediately after coming to his senses: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Huo, I just said something out of turn. Mu Yan, you're not angry with Dad, are you?"
Si Muyan held Huo Si's hand, as if she had found a backer: "No. After all, I have been kicked out of the Si family by Ms. Zhao. He can't bear the call of father."
Si Nan glared at Zhao Wei, who, seeing the situation, didn't know how to retort.
Si Tong's heart and eyes were filled with jealousy. When she saw Si Muyan standing next to Huo Si, she wanted to tear her apart even more.
She didn't expect that Huo Si's wife was the person she hated the most.
How can this be!
"Anyone who spoke rudely to my wife just now must apologize immediately." Huo Si ordered without question, "Otherwise..."
Huo Si's eyes reflected a chill as he swept over the guests one by one, finally landing on the Si family: "I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."
Listening to his slightly hoarse voice, Si Muyan felt warm in her heart. The warmth of being held in his palm and cared for enveloped her.
"I'm sorry." A guest apologized tactfully.
"I'm sorry." Another guest apologized. They couldn't bear Huo Si's anger.
Si Nan also apologized and glared at Si Tong fiercely: "What are you still standing there for? Apologize."
Si Tong's eyes were filled with resentment. She had been the center of attention at the party, but if she apologized, she would become a laughing stock.
Don't apologize...
"Wife, the weather is getting cold. The Si Group should go bankrupt." Huo Si stroked Si Muyan's head and said gently.
Hearing the warning, Si Nan unexpectedly slapped Si Tong in the face and glared at her: "Didn't you hear what I said!"
Si Tong's head was buzzing from the beating, tears in her eyes, and she looked at Si Nan aggrievedly.
Seeing his cold eyes, she finally suppressed the hatred in her heart and bowed her head to apologize: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to." Huo Si said coldly.
She bit her teeth tightly, her long nails digging into her flesh, and lowered her head to apologize: "Mu Yan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have guessed without knowing the truth. I'm sorry."
"I don't accept your apology." Si Muyan's eyes were calm. "Your slander will ruin my reputation."
"Si Tong, right? I will ask my lawyer to sue you for defamation." Huo Si said calmly.
Si Tong was so frightened that her face turned pale and her voice trembled: "Huo, Master Huo..."
"Wife, it stinks here, how about we leave?" Huo Si held his hand and spoke gently.
"Yeah." Si Muyan responded softly, without even looking at the Si couple, and followed Huo Si away without looking back.
Seeing this, one of the guests said, "Let's go too. Haven't you seen how much Mr. Huo cherishes his wife? They openly humiliated Mrs. Huo. If Mr. Huo gets angry and gets involved with us, what will he do?"
"Yes, that makes sense," another guest agreed.
Without waiting for Si Nan to speak, the guests left one after another. Soon, the huge venue was deserted.
"Husband, what should I do?" Zhao Wei was angry that her birthday party suddenly became so deserted.
Before Si Tong could finish her words, Si Nan slapped her in the face again. The force was so strong that Si Tong fell to the ground.
"Sinan, what are you doing?"
"It's all your fault. Not only did you target Mu Yan everywhere, but you also slandered her for marrying an older man." Si Nan was furious. "If you had known she was marrying Huo Si, our Si family wouldn't have ended up like this."
Zhao Wei felt sorry for Si Tong, but did not refute.
Climbing to his feet, Si Tong burst into tears: "Dad, I really didn't know Huo Si was her husband. I clearly saw her get out of that car before, I..."
"Get out!" Si Nan roared, kicked Si Tong away, and left angrily.
The carefully prepared solo dance ended like this before it even came into play. Si Tong sat on the ground crying in dismay, her tears smudged her makeup, and her earlier delicate appearance was gone, making her look like a pathetic clown.
Zhao Wei looked at the ruined birthday party and thought about the money she had spent on it, and suddenly she was in no mood to comfort her.
At the same time, Si Muyan walked out of the garden villa happily.
Holding his hand, her eyes full of light: "Brother Si, why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't make it back today?"
Huo Si pinched her cheek, his tone full of pampering: "If I don't come back, and my baby is bullied, who will support her?"
Baby...baby...
Si Muyan's cheeks were flushed with heat.
"I'm a bit stupid and made you worry." Si Muyan apologized softly.
"Fool." Huo Si said hoarsely.
"But Brother Si, didn't you say you couldn't come back?" Si Muyan asked again.
Huo Si bent down, holding her slender waist with both hands, and then buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"In order to rush back, I haven't had a rest for three or four days. Wife, I'm so sleepy." Huo Si said in a low and hoarse voice.
Hearing this, Si Muyan felt extremely distressed. She didn't expect that he would sacrifice so much just to accompany her.
Si Muyan slowly raised her hand, gently hugged him and nodded, gently stroked the back of his head: "Brother Si."
"Hmm?" Huo Si's voice was low and hoarse.
Her heart was pounding, and Si Muyan was too embarrassed to say anything.
After struggling for a long time, he finally said softly: "I, I seem to like you."
