As Yun Wu spoke, she frowned and glared at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou glanced indifferently at Yun Wu before looking down at Lin Shanchu’s message.
Lin Shanchu: [Yun Wu can’t see the messages you replied to me.] Huo Xunzhou: [No wonder she glared at me so hard her eyes almost popped out.]
Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Wu.
Yun Wu stared at Huo Xunzhou while she was eating food, as if she wanted to chew him up and devour him.
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Shanchu: [It seems like the plot has a wide range of restrictions. Not only has it restricted you, but it restricted other people as well.]
The stupid system was extremely sinister.
She felt her arm being hit by Yun Wu.
“Shanshan, that woman surnamed Cheng is coming over.” Yun Wu’s tone sounded like she wanted to cause trouble.
Cheng Fanjing came to Huo Xunzhou to thank him.
“Thank you for the strawberry tarts.”
Huo Xunzhou did not want to respond to her, but his body had a mind of its own.
His hand went against his will and pressed the lock button on the phone. Then, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Fanjing, responding to what she had just said.
“You’re welcome.”
“I hope you can deal with those messed-up women around you as soon as possible before we talk about our relationship.”
Cheng Fanjing was satisfied with Huo Xunzhou’s performance today.
He was much more considerate to her today than last time. He even asked someone to send her favorite strawberry tarts.
“Third Brother, Grandpa said that when Second Brother comes back, he wants the family to go back to the old mansion for a meal and a gathering. Later, Shanshan and I will go back in your car.”
Yun Wu heard Cheng Fanjing’s words clearly, but she did not defend herself. Instead, she used the word “family” to clear Lin Shanchu’s name.
Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and nodded in the end.
As Cheng Fanjing’s face stiffened, her tone was filled with suppressed anger. “Mr. Huo! Did you hear what I said just now?”
Yun Wu sat down next to Huo Xunzhou and said seriously, “Third Brother, Grandpa said that you’re now the acting president of Huo Corporation. Your reputation is very important. He wants you to stay away from those messed-up women outside.”
Everyone knew that the Huo family and the Cheng family were interested in a marriage alliance.
However, Huo Xunzhou kept quiet at that time, so the Yun family did not say anything about it either.
However, the members of the Yun family were not stupid. They could tell that Cheng Fanjing had been trying to please Huo Chaosheng because she despised
Huo Xunzhou.
As a result, the members of the Yun family did not have a good impression of Cheng Fanjing.
Lin Shanchu was the girlfriend that Huo Xunzhou had personally brought back to the Yun family to introduce to everyone. Both parties had even formally met each other’s guardians, so it was natural that the members of the Yun family only recognized Lin Shanchu.
Although the recent breakup between the two had caused a lot of commotion, the members of the Yun family knew Huo Xunzhou’s character. He cared about the person whom he personally brought home, so it was impossible for him to change his mind so quickly.
Therefore, the members of the Yun family only recognized Lin Shanchu.
Otherwise, Yun Jin would not have spoken up for Lin Shanchu.
“Miss Yun, can you not interrupt me while I’m talking to Mr. Huo?” Cheng Fanjing could tell that the “messed-up women” Yun Wu mentioned was referring to her.
Yun Wu replied with a smile, “Miss Cheng, I’m passing on my grandfather’s words to my Third Brother. Can you respect my grandfather and not interrupt
Cheng Fanjing naturally had nothing to say when Yun Wu mentioned Patriarch
Yun.
She left in anger.
After Cheng Fanjing walked away, Yun Wu leaned over to Huo Xunzhou with a sullen face and asked, “Third Brother, what are you doing? You won’t have a wife if you are like this, do you know that?”
Huo Xunzhou shouted indifferently, “Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult matters!”
Yun Wu was speechless.
Huo Xunzhou stood up and left.
Lin Shanchu, who was watching the whole process from a distance, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Yun Wu ran over to Lin Shanchu and complained, “My Third Brother couldn’t have been possessed, could he?”
“Maybe.” Lin Shanchu nodded thoughtfully.
Yun Wu was puzzled.
She seriously suspected that she had missed something.
In just a few short months, Huo Xunzhoul s temperament changed drastically and he was associated with the Cheng family’s woman. Moreover, Lin Shanchu also spoke in riddles.
At this moment, Lin Shanchu, who was initially lazy, suddenly sat up straight.
“Uncle…’
Yun Wu looked around and asked, “Where is your uncle? Which one is your uncle?”
Yun Wu was not at home when the guardians of both parties met each other, but she knew that Lin Shanchu’s uncle had returned to the country.
Lin Shanchu pointed at a man and replied, “That man whose clothes being stripped off by Miss Jiang with her eyes is my uncle.”
‘ Pfft!” Yun Wu was amused by Lin Shanchu’s description.
However, after Yun Wu took a closer look, she realized that Lin Shanchu was not exaggerating at all.
The way Jiang Weizhu looked at Lin Suguang was so explicit that she almost looked like she wanted to sleep with him.
After a moment of silence, Yun Wu turned to Lin Shanchu and said, “Your uncle and you look alike.”
“Yeah,” Lin Shanchu responded before she got up and walked towards Lin Suguang and Jiang Weizhu.
“Uncle. ”
When Lin Suguang saw Lin Shanchu, he felt like he had met his savior.
“Shanshan, you’re here…”
Lin Suguang wanted to come over to look for Lin Shanchu, but Jiang Weizhu held onto his arm so tightly that he could not leave.
“Shanshan, you’re here.” Jiang Weizhu smiled and looked at Lin Shanchu with a friendly expression.
Lin Shanchu replied, ‘Yeah.”
She was not that close to Jiang Weizhu.
It was obvious that Jiang Weizhu was serious about hooking up with her uncle.
Lin Shanchu smiled at Jiang Weizhu and said, “Miss Jiang, I would like to have a word with my uncle.”
Jiang Weizhu then released Lin Suguang’s arm and said gently, “Mister Lin, I’ll wait for you. ”
As soon as she let go of Lin Suguang’s arm, he quickly walked to Lin Shanchu’s side.
“Why are you here?” Lin Shanchu asked him after the two of them walked to the side.
Judging from his attitude of avoiding Jiang Weizhu, he certainly did not come here after accepting her invitation.
“I heard that you were here too, so I came over to take a look,” Lin Suguang said gently with a smile on his face.
Lin Shanchu’s intuition told her that Lin Suguang was lying.
If Lin Suguang just wanted to come over and take a look, he would have told her in advance.
However, Lin Shanchu did not expose him.
“If you don’t want to stay with Miss Jiang, come with me.”
“It’s okay. Miss Jiang is actually a nice person.”
Lin Shanchu really could not understand her uncle.
At this moment, the phone screen in her hand lit up with a new WeChat notification appearing on the lock screen.
Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat in front of Lin Suguang.
Huo Xunzhou: [Grandfather asked me to bring you home for dinner.]
Just as Lin Shanchu was about to reply to the message, she heard Lin Suguang say softly, “He brought another woman to the cocktail party and now he wants to bring you home for dinner. That’s just wishful thinking.”
Surprised, Lin Shanchu looked up at Lin Suguang and asked, “Uncle, you can see it?”
