âHaijuan, youâ¦â Xing Siqing was stunned.
Whatâs going on?
Why is everyone saying that Su Wanwan is beautiful?
âBut no matter how beautiful, itâs just a skin cover.â Ming Haijuan took a sip of red wine, her red lips curling into a smile, âWhatâs beneath this skin, canât be brought onto the stage!â
Xing Siqing lightened up, âHaijuan, I think you have a point. Sheâs still in school, but her grades are terrible. She hasnât even finished her studies in two years of studying abroad, sheâs totally an ignorant fool! Anyway, I think my brother just finds her interesting for now. Iâm waiting for the day he abandons her.â
âYou say, sheâs an ignorant fool?â Ming Haijuan raised her delicate eyebrows, with a thoughtful look on her face.
âYes, when she was in school, she spent each day causing trouble. If she wasnât picking fights with people, she was messing around in bars. Sheâs been to the police station too many times to count. Itâs only now that sheâs married my brother sheâs started playing nice, putting on the pretense of a well-bred young lady. My grandparents are all deceived by her.â Xing Siqing relentlessly blackened her image.
Because the Huo Family truly adores Su Wanwan, sheâs recently smartened up, listened to Huo Qinyuâs words, and stopped openly confronting Su Wanwan, so as not to always end up the loser.
The more she hid her feelings, the deeper her hatred.
Just like a seed suppressed by soil, the more pressure, the more crazily it sprouts.
Todayâs occasion held by the Ming Family, with its powerful women, Xing Siqing wished she could stir up trouble and have everyone despise Su Wanwan, helping her deal with Su Wanwan.
Xing Siqing added fuel to the fire, âJust now, my grandmother specifically asked her to meet Mrs. Ming, my second aunt also has a good relationship with her. Haijuan, do you think Mrs. Ming will give her the charm goddess crown tonight?â
Sure enough, upon hearing this, not only Ming Haijuan, even Ming Hailanâs complexion changed.
âHow is that possible, the crown is always won by us, the Ming family, every year. Sheâs a Su, why should she get it!â Ming Hailan, being young, couldnât keep her composure and blurted out.
âIf thatâs the case, letâs expose her true self to avoid the elders being fooled by her.â Ming Haijuan gave a cold laugh, âHailan, I believe itâs your turn to perform piano tonight, right?â
Ming Hailan was taken aback, âBig sister, what do you mean by this?â
âFind a chance later and let Mrs. Huo get on stage.â Ming Haijuan pondered a bit, âSay that she will perform with you.â
Ming Hailan: ââ¦..â
Xing Siqing, however, was instantly overjoyed.
She was certain that this slut, Su Wanwan, couldnât handle being on stage. From the moment they met, sheâs been nothing more than a ruffian, spending her days smoking, drinking, and messing around with men. How could she possibly have any talents?
Moreover, Su Yuntang doesnât care about this daughter at all, how could he possibly spend money on her to learn high-end talents such as piano and violin?
Imagining Su Wanwan making a fool of herself on stage later, Xing Siqing could hardly control her excitement.
**
During the banquet, there were some performances on the stage and cameras were constantly filming downstage.
So despite the array of exquisite food on the table, not many were truly enjoying it.
Su Wanwan was already terribly hungry, but for the sake of her image, she picked up a pastry with her chopsticks, placed it in her mouth, and ate it in small, elegant bites.
Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her, picking up a⦠big pigâs foot!
The pig skin was roasted to a glossy shine, sprinkled with spring onions and red peppers. Its color was tempting, its meat fragrant and delicious, making it simply irresistible!
âSpicy beauty foot.â Huo Jingshen placed the chunk of pigâs foot in the small bowl in front of her.
Su Wanwanâs mouth twitched, âIâm not eating it!â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦..â
Had she changed?
Su Wanwan bluntly returned the pigâs foot to his bowl, âYou eat it.â
Huo Jingshen said, âBaby, are you trying to lose weight?â
The sharp-eared Mrs. Huo from the side interjected, âWhy lose weight? Wanwan, youâre too thin, eat more!â
How can she bear heavy grandsons for me if she doesnât eat!
Having said that, the old lady picked up her chopsticks and picked up several pieces of chicken, duck, fish, and meat⦠all into Su Wanwanâs bowl.
Looking at the small bowl piled up like a mountain, Su Wanwan wanted to cry.
Werenât we here for the beauty contest?
Why are they giving me so much to eat?
Arenât they afraid Iâll deform my gown later?
Fortunately, her mobile phone rang. Su Wanwan picked up the phone and glanced at it, âIâm going outside to take a call.â
Not long after Su Wanwan left, Mrs. Huo asked, âWhy hasnât Zhexi come over yet?â
Mrs. Ming actually liked this grandson a lot. He was sweet-talking and knew how to make a scene, but he hadnât come over today?
Mingzhu said, âHe said heâs already downstairs, looking for a parking spot.â
âWhat happened with his girlfriend last time? How was it resolved?â
Mingzhu said, âThey broke up a long time ago.â
Mrs. Huo nodded and didnât ask any more.
**
The call was from Huang Gangsheng, asking her to come to the TV station early the next day because there was a studio shooting. He wanted her to come along and watch.
I can finally participate in a shooting!
Su Wanwan was very excited, âSure, what time?â
âNine oâclock, is that all right?â
âYes, yes.â
Even if it wasnât convenient, she had to make it work.
Ever since she helped Huang Gangsheng before the New Yearâs, he had taken good care of her, always involving her in his work. She couldnât afford to miss these incredible opportunities.
âWell, you should go to bed early tonight, haha, donât let it delay getting up early tomorrow.â Huang Gangsheng joked and then hung up.
As soon as Su Wanwan put down her phone, she saw a familiar figure emerging from the restroom across the way.
Dressed in a dark red suit with fiery red hair, he looked saucy and wicked, like a little hooligan.
âMistress.â
Huo Zhexi was standing there waiting, when he heard that, he turned around, knitted his brows, and got angry at Su Wanwan, âFuck, how many times have I told you, donât call me âmistressâ!â
âOh.â Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, âThird brother.â
âDo you believe Iâll slap you?â
âNo.â
âYouâ¦â
âYour big brother is in there.â
After hearing this, Huo Zhexi withdrew the hand he had raised.
Su Wanwan smiled and said, âIf I hadnât kept quiet last time, your big brother would have taught you a lesson. You dare to lay your hands on me? Where do you get the guts?â
Huo Zhexi gritted his teeth but could only glare at her.
Then he said.
âJust you wait! One day, Iâll watch you cry as you leave the Huo family!â
Su Wanwan stood there, raising her eyebrows.
Crying as she left the Huo family?
Was he joking?
Even if the day came when she really left the Huo family, she would never cry!
She was that confident!
Seeing that Huo Zhexi was still standing there, she couldnât help asking, âWhat are you doing here?â
âNone of your business.â
Su Wanwan saw him constantly texting on his phone and had a bold guess, âHow are things with you and Bai Ruwei?â
Huo Zhexi looked at her warily, âYou wretched girl, you want to run off and report to my mom again, donât you?â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Forget it.
She didnât want to meddle in other peopleâs business.
Su Wanwan turned and entered the banquet hall, returning to her seat.
Who knew that not long after, Huo Zhexi entered.
The banquet was grand, and he was the last to arrive. Along with his red suit and red hair, he attracted quite a few peopleâs attention as soon as he entered the banquet hall.
Actually, Huo Zhexi was quite handsome; he was just too thin and tall. At first glance, he looked like a defenseless chicken.
However, his face was quite attractive, plus he was the third son of the Huo family and the grandson of the Ming family. Many of the women here were also hoping to marry well, hence why they say the drunkardâs intent isnât in the wine.
Acting incredibly provocatively on his way over, when he approached, Huo Zhexi went straight to hug Mingzhu and said, âMom, you look so beautiful today. Let your son give you a kiss.â
But Mingzhu slapped him away, âWhy are you just getting here now? Where have you been messing around?â
âI got together with some friends.â
âMen or women?â
âMom, are you going to interfere with who Iâm friends with now?â
Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, âYour grandparents are here tonight, youâd better behave!â
âI know.â
âAlso, I told you to dress up, what are you wearing?â
âBurberryâs latest menâs spring fashion, any problem?â Huo Zhexi flicked his red hair, looking incredibly provocative.
Mingzhu felt she couldnât bear to watch.
But since her son was here, she felt slightly relieved, âLater, Iâll introduce you to some good catches. Pick carefully, if you think theyâre okay, give me a signal.â
âWhat do you mean?â Huo Zhexi looked terrified, âMom, what are you doing?â
âYou canât pick a woman, so Iâll do it for you.â
âI donât want to!â
