Chapter 8: Humiliation in Public

Chenxi said coldly, his gaze falling on the last page of the document. He stared at the string of IP addresses and asked thoughtfully, "Have we tracked Su's whereabouts"Whether it's the S-core patent...Damn you!

They're all divorced, what right do they have to touch her

Looking at the lipstick mark on her mirror that the makeup artist was struggling to cover, Su He gritted her teeth and cursed Huo Chen Xi's shameless behavior.

>Every time they were finished, he would go to the bathroom and wash for a long time, as if he had caught a virus from her.

Now, he's not afraid of being poisoned

Su He angrily picked up mouthwash and sprayed it several times, trying to clear the scent of Huo Chenxi, but his breath, like him, was domineering and impossible to get rid of.

"Who made the little girl unhappy"

After settling the banquet arrangements, Gu Qingcheng came to the dressing room and saw Su He's unhappy face. With a shared enemy, she asked,

To avoid making Gu Qingcheng embarrassed, Su He came up with a reason to cover it up.

Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng didn't chase after him. After some comforting, Su He finally recovered his smile.

That's right. The banquet starts soon, let's stun everyone!

She gave the stylist a few more instructions, and the stylist, who had been eagerly anticipating showing off their skills, immediately grabbed Su He to start styling.

Gu Qingcheng stayed with Su He for a while longer before leaving the dressing room.

She had noticed the bite marks on Su He's lips before and was afraid to point them out for fear of embarrassing her.

Without getting a satisfactory answer from Shen Muyin, Gu Qingcheng scolded him and confined him to his room for an hour. She also ordered Shen Xingfan, who was in charge of security, to check the surveillance footage.

This also alarmed Shen Zhaolin.

Seeing the surveillance footage, both Shen Zhaolin and Gu Qingcheng were furious.

Bullying his precious daughter on their own turf, do they really think they're pushovers

"Give it to me!" Shen Zhaolin gritted his teeth, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his usually elegant face.

To celebrate Su He's return, the usually low-key Shen Zhaolin invited prominent figures from A city's upper society this time.

8 p.m.

The ballroom was brightly lit, as bright as day.

Michelin-starred chef's exquisite dishes filled the buffet table, and waiters served drinks in an orderly manner.

Dressed in fine attire, the esteemed guests chatted animatedly in groups of three or five.

Shen Zhaolin's five sons kept their existence a secret, but now he is hosting a grand reunion for his daughter, leaving everyone wondering about the story behind it.

"With such a big turnout, isn't Mr. Shen looking for a son-in-law"

"After Shen Qijiu was lost for so many years, who knows what she has experienced, what kind of character and appearance she has now. Would anyone dare to marry her"

"Back then, Old Master Shen doted on her immensely. When she disappeared, Old Master Shen even fell seriously ill. Now that she's been found, wouldn't the Shen family treasure her Marrying her means… forget about the dowry, the Shen family's protection alone would elevate the entire clan!"

Isn't that right The Shen family only has one true precious granddaughter. Many suitors are vying for her hand, I heard even Huo Shao from the Imperial Jade Group came.

"Isn't Young Master Huo getting close to Miss Bai Why is he here to stir up trouble"

Just as they were talking, Huo Shenxi in a black tuxedo, accompanied by Bai Yihuan in a navy blue gradient starry sky strapless gown, walked over gracefully.

The tailored suit accentuated Huo Chenxi's height, making him appear even more tall and slender. However, his handsome face remained as indifferent as ever, radiating an aura of coldness that kept everyone at bay.

Beside her, Bai Yihuan's makeup was exquisite, and her charming smile, framed by luxurious jewelry, radiated pure happiness.

"My goodness, Miss Bai is wearing the Sally Starry Dress Young Master Huo is spoiling her too much!"

" Huo Shao is handsome, upright, rich and affectionate. Bai Yihuan must have saved the Milky Way in her past life to find such a perfect man!"

Feeling the envious gazes around her, Bai Yi raised her chin with a cheerful smile, her expression even more pleased. She linked arms with Huo Chen Xi even closer.

Huo Chen Xi frowned slightly, a flash of unease passing through his eyes. He lowered his gaze to see her small belly, still allowing her to hang halfway on his arm.

One hour ago, a group of sea snakes mysteriously appeared in his room along with a warning letter.

Bai Yihuan came to find him, just as a sea snake fell from the door frame and hung around her neck, she was immediately scared unconscious.

Still shaken and now pregnant, he had no choice but to take care of her.

Just as Bai Yihuan was enjoying the envy and compliments of many wealthy ladies, Su He, dressed in fine attire, appeared.

A custom-made silver sleeveless floor-length gown with a cinched waist accentuated her curvaceous figure. As she moved, the silver embellishments on the dress rippled like water waves, and under the backdrop of expensive pink diamond jewelry, it shimmered with brilliance, radiating glamour.

Her face, as small as a palm, had star-like eyes that glimmered with celestial brilliance. A casual glance was enough to captivate the heart.

Even the most learned and experienced nobles were astonished by the captivating beauty favored by the Creator.

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone was subconsciously drawn to Su He.

White Yihuan, who had been ignored, gritted her silver teeth in anger.

She spent a fortune to have someone buy the starry dress from Sally, hoping to be the center of attention at the banquet. However, in less than three minutes, she was completely overshadowed by Su He.

As if noticing her gaze, Su He looked over and curled his lips in a sneer.

Bai Yihuan's anger was completely ignited, and she subconsciously looked at Huo Chenxi, but saw that he was also staring straight at Su He.

A somber gaze fell upon Su He, carrying a hint of astonishment and unfamiliarity. It scrutinized her intently, as if confirming that the stunning woman before him was indeed Su He, who used to be plain and wouldn't even dare to look at him.

Never once had Huo Chenxi seen Su He dressed up. There was no banquet when he was born, and they never attended any events together.

Bai Yihuan was stung by his gaze, her nails digging deep into her palm.

Ho Chenxi had never looked at her like that before!

Miss Su, how did you get on board without an invitation

As Su He walked past, Bai Yihuan suddenly feigned familiarity and asked in a curious voice.

A subtle shift occurred in everyone's eyes.

"What a fancy party! I thought it was some heiress."

"This outfit must be rented, huh You really splurged on it."

"With that looks and figure, playing around wouldn't be so bad!"

The unpleasant murmurs spread, Bai Yihuan smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Su He provocatively.

Su He's face remained serene, not giving her a single glance.

Huo Chenxi frowned, preparing to explain for Su He, when a beautiful hand landed on her shoulder.

"If we said we'd go together, why aren't you waiting for me"

A man with a refined face wearing metal frameless glasses, a warm and gentle smile, and an outstanding temperament gazed at Su He with tenderness.

Su He blinked.

Three brothers vied to accompany her onstage, almost coming to blows. She had no choice but to go alone.

Now it seems, bloodline pressure, Big Brother wins!

Subconsciously, Su He held onto Shen Rufeng's arm and tilted her head, smiling slightly.

Shen Ruifeng gave her a reassuring smile, lifting his chin and looking around with an arrogant gaze, his natural noble air was evident.

Finally, the blame falls on Bai Yihuan.

As far as I know, Miss Bai was invited to play the piano and liven up the atmosphere. You didn't go on stage to perform yourself but deliberately came to me with my companion. Could this be a way to attract some VIP guest

The blunt and sarcastic questions left Bai Yihuan awkwardly flustered.

Huo Chen Xi's sword brows furrowed, he glared at Shen Ru Feng's hand resting on Su He's shoulder with displeasure, and spoke in a harsh tone: "She is my female companion. Does it have anything to do with you if she wants to perform on stage"

Just now, Bai Yihuan publicly humiliated and made things difficult for Shen Ruifeng. Huo Chenxi stood by and watched. Now that Shen Ruifeng is retaliating, he can't help but stand up for Bai Yihuan.

He truly loves Bai Yihuan!

Su He increasingly felt that her past self was ridiculous. She looked up at Shen Ruifeng, signaling to change places, not wanting to be bothered by these two any longer.

Shen Rufeng patted her shoulder and turned to stare at Huo Chenxi, smiling lightly: "Huo Shao's invitation, does it allow a female companion"

All other guests were taken aback.

This time, the reunion invitation is tiered. Only the VIP level has the right to bring a female companion.

Given Huo Chenxi's status and position, it was naturally assumed that his rank was special grade.

Rarely did Huo Chen Xi attend banquets with a female companion, so he hadn't paid attention to the invitation level. Upon hearing this, his face immediately turned grim.

Shen Ruifeng intentionally embarrassed him and immediately called security to publicly check the invitation level in front of everyone.

"Mr. Huo, your invitation is of the common level and does not allow a female companion!" Shen Xingfan pretended to check his tablet and announced loudly.

Before, the sea snake and warning letter left him unmoved. Now, seeing Huo Chenxi's face twisted with anger, Shen Xingfan felt a sense of exhilaration.

The next second, Shen Ruifeng threw a withering glance at Shen Xingfan, who immediately sobered up. He cleared his throat and said to Bai Yihuan without any politeness: "Miss Bai, if an invited performer doesn't want to perform, please disembark immediately!"as druggedSu He, like a traveler lost in the desert for a long time, found an oasis. Unable to control himself, he reached out with both arms, clasping his neck, and pressed his whole body against him...
