Losing face for the Huo Family

"Whether I can enter Mr. Chen Tao's house or not, it's up to him, not you," Huo Man didn't care about what Huo Yan had said.

Although her dress was of an ordinary style, it was a limited edition in the world.

It had taken Tang Qin a lot of effort to get her this set of clothes, but Huo Yan still called it shabby.

Huo Man didn't know whether it was Huo Yan or Tang Qin's bad taste.

Huo Yan didn't know how to respond to Huo Man's words, so she turned to Huo Cheng for help.

Huo Man had her own legs, and Huo Cheng didn't dare to offend her. What if she drove them out of the old house on impulse? At this stage, it was better to stabilize this time bomb.

Thinking of this, Huo Cheng decided to suppress the anger in his heart and said, 

"Forget it, then you can come with us. But when we arrive at the scene, you have to behave yourself and not cause trouble for me."

Seeing that Huo Cheng had agreed to take Huo Man with him, the rest of the Huo family were shocked and looked at Huo Cheng in disbelief.

Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Huo family if they brought Huo Man there?

Huo Man didn't care. She turned around and walked out of the door.

Since Huo Cheng had spoken, Huo Yan and the others couldn't say anything more. They had to swallow their anger and go to Chen Tao's house.

Chen Tao had been abroad all year round. This time, he had come back intending to settle down.

As a world-renowned scientist, Chen Tao's banquet was full of celebrities. People from the business, political and scientific worlds came to Chen Tao's house, most of them trying to build a relationship with Chen Tao and cooperate with him.

 Huo Cheng was one of them.

When he showed up at Chen Tao's house with the Huo family of four and Huo Man, who they didn't approve of, he attracted countless people's attention.

Recently, the Huo family's inheritance had caused a lot of commotion, and many people were waiting for the Huo family to come, wondering if Huo Man would attend the banquet.

When they saw Huo Man, many people widened their eyes and looked at this country bumpkin. She must be really bold to have come to this banquet!

Amidst the well-dressed ladies, Huo Man was like a clear stream.

However, she had naturally become the laughing stock of those celebrities.

"Isn't that the country bumpkin? She actually came!"

"Sure enough, it's different after receiving the inheritance. She's directly promoted to a celebrity. I wonder if Mr. Chen Tao will kick her out when he sees her!"

"I heard that Huo Man was sent to the countryside because she killed Old Madam Huo. I don't know how the Huo family accepted this jinx, Old Master Huo even left his inheritance to her..."

 …

Every word of these discussions fell into Huo Man's ears, but her expression didn't change, and she pretended not to hear them.

 At this moment, there was a loud noise, and many people rushed in one direction. Huo Man looked indifferently in that direction and saw Chen Tao walking out with the crowd.

His hair was white and he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked like a respected scientist.

"I'm going to socialize with Mr. Chen Tao. You guys can come with me. " 

Seeing Chen Tao, Huo Cheng couldn't hold back his excitement and walked toward him with a glass of champagne.

Huo Yan tidied up her clothes carefully, afraid of embarrassing the Huo family, and obediently followed Huo Cheng.

Huo Man was about to go with them, but Liang Yu stopped her. 

"Don't go, just stay here and wait for us to come back."

Huo Yan rolled her eyes at Huo Man and said,

"That's right! You can see this is such a big occasion, right? If you don't have any experience, then don't run around and embarrass the Huo family!" 

Huo Man shrugged and stopped in his tracks without a word.

Shen Bei also attended the banquet, but he did not like to socialize much. He had been staying in a quiet corner like a bystander observing the situation.

His eyes swept across the room and immediately saw Huo Man, who seemed out of place.

She leaned against the table and lazily sipped her glass of champagne, looking simple and elegant.

At this moment, Huo Man also raised her eyes lazily and met Shen Bei's eyes.
