Chapter 202: Hongmen Banquet
Here, Huo Man quickly found out that Shen Wan and Lu Beichen had a good relationship, and Shen Wan helped him to hold the opening ceremony of Chang'an Xing, a company he invested in.
Shen Wan was present at the party and auction that Lu Beichen attended.
She took the opportunity of holding a private dinner to hand the invitation to Lu Beichen.
Seeing the two invitations, Lu Beichen was still puzzled and asked Huo Man's assistant, "Two?"
The assistant smiled and said, "My daughter wants to meet Master Shen. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to do me a small favor and pass the invitation letter to Master Shen."
Lu Beichen didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
He came to Shanhaiwan to meet Shen Wan with an invitation letter.
"Master Shen, I know you are not interested in this kind of banquet, but this time the invitation letter came from the Huo family in the imperial capital, I think it is an opportunity..."
Lu Beichen was very cautious when handing out the invitation, fearing that she would not agree.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wan didn't even look at the invitation letter, and nodded readily, "I'll go."
"Great, I thought you wouldn't be interested, Master Shen."
Chen Wan smiled faintly: "The daughter of the Huo family, one of the four major families in the imperial capital, they have kindly invited me, so I will respectfully obey."
She knew this was a Hongmen Banquet.
Huo Man already knew that Wang Qiankun died after losing the fight, so he blatantly invited her to a private banquet. Wasn't it because he wanted to meet her in person and find out her true strength?
Shen Wan also wanted to see what other tricks she had.
This gorgeous private dinner invited quite a few people, including the second generation of Jiangcheng's upper class.
The dinner scene.
Under the dazzling crystal chandeliers, the wealthy young men are dressed in well-tailored suits, looking handsome and calm.
The socialite daughter wore a high-end evening gown from an international brand and looked as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale.
The world-famous orchestra performed live, and the elegant and melodious melody flowed slowly.
The table is filled with exquisite and top-quality food, which is like a work of art.
This private dinner was full of luxury, showing the generosity of Huo Man, the daughter of the imperial capital.
When Shen Wan and Lu Beichen entered the room, they saw Shen Changfeng and Shen Jiaojiao talking to Huo Man.
Shen Changfeng looked gentle and asked with concern: "Miss Huo, is your leg okay?"
Huo Man smiled and said, "It's okay. I just scraped my ankle a little. It's nothing serious. You can go now."
Huo Shaoqing saw Shen Wan coming and flew down from the crystal chandelier.
"Huo Man is really hardworking. She was in the hospital after a car accident, but she was willing to hold a dinner party overnight just to investigate you."
"Chen Wan!" Shen Jiaojiao was rarely let out, and when she saw Shen Wan, she rushed over excitedly as if she saw something.
Seeing Shen Jiaojiao become so enthusiastic, Shen Wan was still a little uncomfortable.
"Big brother told me you would come tonight, so I begged him to bring me here!"
Shen Jiaojiao's face was full of smiles, and she subconsciously reached out to hold Shen Wan's arm.
Shen Wan shook his hand away with an indifferent look, not letting her touch it.
Shen Jiaojiao pouted and muttered, “What are you doing? Do you dislike me?”
Chen Wan smiled wryly: "Yes."
Shen Jiaojiao: “…”
"Sixth sister has always said good things about you at home. She has been very nice to you. Why do you treat her so badly?"
Shen Changfeng came over, looking unhappy.
Chen Wan was even less happy with him, "It's none of your business."
Shen Changfeng: "You!"
How stubborn!
Shen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Brother, why do you say that about her?"
Shen Changfeng: “?”
I said this for your sake!
Your elbows are bent outward?
“This must be the powerful Master Shen Wan Shen, right?”
Huo Man walked over slowly, her eyes falling on Shen Wan.
Seeing that Shen Wan was even more beautiful than herself, with fair, tender and flawless skin, she inexplicably felt a little jealous.
Such a beautiful woman is really a disaster.
She had to find a way to find out Chen Wan's background.
Shen Wan's face was light, "Miss Huo invited me here, I wonder why?"
Huo Man sneered in her heart.
Wang Qiankun was even killed by her, but she acted like nothing happened.
"I heard that Master Shen is not only a Taoist doctor, but also a fortune teller, right?"
Shen Wan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Shen Changfeng.
"Don't be so smart in front of Miss Huo and make yourself a laughing stock."
There was a hint of warning in his tone, as if he was worried that Shen Wan would make a fool of herself and lose face as the eldest brother.
Huo Man smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Shen doesn't know your sister very well. She is much more powerful than you think."
"Right, Master Shen?"
There was an ambiguous smile on Huo Man's lips.
Shen Wan remained calm: "Miss Huo is a straightforward person, let's get straight to the point, what do you want from me?"
Huo Man smiled softly: "I just heard that Master Shen is very good at fortune-telling. I have been plagued by bad people recently. I don't know how to solve it?"
"Master Shen, what do you think, should I stomp her to death with my foot, or should I just ignore this kind of person who is not worthy of being on the stage?"
She was using a double meaning.
Only Chen Wan could tell that Huo Man was talking to her.
Shen Wan said calmly: "There are villains in the world, like ants, too numerous to count. If there are villains around Miss Huo, it depends on whether you have done something wrong to cause them."
"As the saying goes, flies don't bite cracked eggs. If you behave properly, villains won't be able to get close to you. Besides, how can Miss Huo be sure that you are a villain? If you kick him, you might hit a wall. It's not worth it."
Huo Man's face changed slightly.
She didn’t expect that Shen Wan was not only not angered by her, but also responded so calmly.
"But some people just can't stand seeing others doing well, and they have to do everything they can to destroy this harmony. Should we just leave it alone?"
Huo Man suppressed her displeasure and continued to imply her.
Chen Wan was calmer: "You can manage it, but the question is, do you have the ability to do so?"
"You——" Huo Man almost couldn't hold back her curse, her face turned blue with anger.
Damn Chen Wan, is she openly provoking me?
"Chen Wan, what are you doing!"
Shen Changfeng couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Miss Huo is asking you this with good intentions, why are you being so aggressive?"
Shen Wan said calmly: "I'm just answering Miss Huo's confusion. Is there any problem?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the atmosphere had become tense and subtle.
Everyone present praised and respected Huo Man.
Only Shen Wan has such an improper attitude!
This is Huo Man, the daughter of the Huo family who came from the imperial capital!
Someone nearby was talking quietly.
“This Chen Wan is really blind, and he dares to offend the Huo family in the imperial capital!”
"Look, Shen Changfeng is almost pissed off by her. If you ask me, why would the Shen family adopt such an ignorant adopted daughter?"
"But why have I never heard of Shen Wan as a Taoist doctor? Can he also tell fortunes?"
"The wild kid from the mountains probably learned a few tricks from that country witch and is just trying to scare people."
Hearing other people's comments, Shen Changfeng looked embarrassed.
“Chen Wan, hurry up and apologize to Miss Huo!”
