Chapter 316 She Can Just Walk Sideways
Chen Huan took Huo Nianbei to the back garden, and she stood beside Huo Nianbei and talked to him. Although the distance was not very close and her expression was not intimate, it was enough to establish her authority.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Wasn't that how Shen Zheng and his daughter had been putting pressure on their Chen family for so many years?
She just wanted everyone to see that the Huo family would support more than just the Shen family.
Apart from this, that was enough. She didn't expect Huo Nianbei to go to great lengths to help her. She just hoped that she wouldn't be tripped up by others again.
"…Funds are secondary, but the pressure comes from many sides. Sometimes my father has trouble making decisions. If the final result is not good, he will be the one to be blamed. Of course, this is also secondary. However, if this continues, the vicious cycle will cause the public to lose their judgment, and City B will only get worse."
The back garden was quiet. There were different kinds of fish in the pond. Huo Nianbei threw some fish food in. The goldfish swam over gracefully. There was a yellow light hanging in the lantern next to it. Under the light, it seemed that good luck was coming.
Huo Nianbei didn't respond in time. Chen Huan looked away without changing his expression and asked inexplicably, "Should I arrange a car for you or should your driver come?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, wondering why the topic suddenly jumped to this point.
Chen Huan quickly explained, "Oh, I mean the auction is about to start... Do you want to leave?" It was obvious that he had no intention of helping the Chen family, so he wouldn't have to spend money, otherwise he would have to spend money to attend the auction later. After listening to her talk and accompanying her for such a trip, it was enough.
Huo Nianbei understood her implication and was about to reply when Cong Chen's face suddenly changed and he said directly, "Boss, Miss Lan fell into the water!"
Hearing this, Chen Huan's brain automatically looked towards the pond next to him. He quickly reacted and said "tsk", then looked back and saw Huo Nianbei had already run far away, running towards the swimming pool on the third floor.
……
There were a lot of people crowded around the swimming pool. Huo Nianbei pushed the crowd aside and dived into the water. He picked up the woman and turned his head to see:???
Then he let go and heard a splash, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water. He walked towards the shore, but Shen Ruoqing immediately put her arms around his neck and refused to let go, "Help! I'm scared!"
Huo Nianbei frowned in disdain and forcefully pulled her hand away. He looked towards the shore anxiously, but when he couldn't see anyone, he could only yell, "Cong Chen!"
Before he finished speaking, Lan Zi pushed aside the crowd and stood on the shore. He couldn't help laughing, "Huo Nianbei, I'm here!"
His expression instantly relaxed a bit, and he wanted to go ashore without paying any attention to Shen Ruoqing who was still fluttering behind him. However, Lan Zi stopped him loudly, "Wait! Wait a minute!"
Lan Zi said wait a minute, the famous Huo Nianbei actually stood obediently in the swimming pool, motionless, his shirt was soaked and stuck tightly to his body, his figure was enough to make people's nose bleed.
There were already whispers about his abs and his mermaid line hidden under his shirt.
Lan Zi hurriedly brought three bath towels, threw one to Shen Ruoqing who was rescued, and the other two were for Huo Nianbei. She waved, "Come here carefully, and everyone else turn your heads and don't peek!"
His embarrassing mood just now was made better by her. He slowly moved to her side. She put one of the two bath towels on her upper body and the other on her lower body.
Lan Zi looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
Don't let others peek...
She hasn't seen it yet...
The two were flirting with each other. Shen Ruoqing spat out a mouthful of water. His angry expression was no longer as dignified as before. He cursed, "Lan Zi, you kicked me into the water!"
"I don't have time to argue with you. I need to take my boyfriend to change his clothes. Got it?"
Everyone was confused——
what! ?
Lan Zi said, boyfriend?!?
She was just speaking the truth, ignoring the jealous looks from the crowd. She just wanted to quickly pull her boyfriend, who was wrapped up ugly but still smiling, to change clothes. Huo Nianbei obediently let her lead him and listened to her ask, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, but I mistakenly thought it was you who went down."
"I know."
On the other side, Wen Zhou and Xie Zhifeng were almost arguing with each other, but Huo Nianjing crossed his chest and disagreed, "I said that Lan Zi is a cunning girl, a vixen!"
The two looked at each other silently and told Chen Huan, "What happened today cannot be disclosed to anyone."
Chen Huan nodded and did it immediately.
No one cared about Shen Ruoqing. The only thing she cared about was the towel that Lan Zi threw at her. She pounded the ground angrily, "You saw it, it was Lan Zi who pushed me into the water!"
One internet celebrity said, "So what if she saw it? She is Huo Nianbei's woman. Wait, I think I'm done. The other day the company bought marketing for me saying that I look like her. Where's my phone? I have to follow Lan Zi quickly."
"I'm convinced. This is the first time I've met Master Huo Nianbei, and no one told me that Master Huo San was so handsome, with such a good figure... How did Lan Zi know this guy?"
Shen Ruoqing got up from the ground, bit off the hatred and swallowed it. All along the way, he discussed Lan Zi and Huo Nianbei.
There are even women who complain about the men beside them, "You've been like a mouse seeing a cat when you see Huo Nianbei all night, and I saw he was very obedient just now?"
"What do women know? She's his woman. I'm a stinky man. It's good enough that he doesn't mind my stinky smell and asks me to get lost!"
Shen Ruoqing said nothing, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and wanted to find a place to change clothes.
Because of Huo Nianbei's disdain for her, and because this was the Chen family's home ground, no one brought her clean clothes, and there was no place for her to take a shower and change clothes safely.
Until she bumped into Huo Nianjing head-on, she pursed her lips and asked shamefully, "Can you help me?"
"Forget it, my brother doesn't like you."
"Oh." Shen Ruoqing lowered her head in disappointment and then raised it quickly. "Even if the Shen family can't marry into the Huo family, what is Lan Zi?"
She might be wrong, and she knew that the Shen family had taken enough advantage of the Huo family, but on what basis did Lan Zi have that?
She didn't do anything to let the Huo family down. Was she in this situation just because she bullied Lan Zi?
Huo Nianjing smiled lightly, "Ruoqing, sister, my brother likes her, so she can act like a big shot. But I think you got it wrong. Lan Zi didn't become like this just because she met my brother."
"I don't understand."
"To put it simply, even if Lan Zi hadn't met my brother, if you stood in front of her and argued with her today, she would still kick you into the water instead of falling in herself."
"She is so arrogant just because of Huo Nianbei!"
"No," Huo Nianjing denied Shen Ruoqing, "I checked her out. She used to smoke, drink, race cars, fight, and do everything. I think if she didn't have a special job and needed to film, she would have gotten a tattoo a long time ago."
Shen Ruoqing sneered, "Do your parents agree with this style of behavior?"
Huo Nianjing smiled, "You should be happy that I disagree, but that's not the point. My brother is Huo Nianbei. He has the ability to marry the woman he likes. But because he is Huo Nianbei, everyone seems to always hope that his wife must be a royal princess. In fact, I am the same as you. I look down on Lan Zi, but I have to admit that she is not only liked by my brother."
I sat with her for a while today. Not only did most of the men's eyes almost fall on her, but the women also enjoyed watching her very much.
Vixen.
Moreover, his style of doing things is not good, but Lan Zi is much stronger than him. Lan Zi does not bully the weak and does everything to protect himself.
