"That's enough." Mr. Huo's eyes narrowed, indicating that the matter had come to an end.
The man asked again, "Third Master, the weekend is the Old Master's 60th birthday. It's a birthday party in Junhao Hotel. On the way here, Second Miss called and asked if you'd like to go there."
"Just say that I'm very busy and can't go. Just help me send someone to deliver the birthday gift on the same day."
Mr. Huo's face was devoid of the joy of his father's birthday. His voice was so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.
Shen Xinai had expected such an answer. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you came back from abroad, you haven't come back to the Huo Mansion. Why don't you..."
"That's enough." Mr. Huo's cold voice ended the conversation. He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and added, "It's getting late. Send her back."
She looked a little tired and walked upstairs.
The man didn't dare to say anything else. He watched Third Master's tall figure disappear at the corner of the stairs. Sister Lan walked over and said in a low voice, "You know that Third Master has a cold relationship with the Old Master, so you definitely don't want to attend the birthday party. Why did you make Third Master unhappy?"
The man said helplessly, "By the way, Sister Lan, why does the Third Master have such a bad relationship with the Old Master?"
He was a personal bodyguard hired by Mr. Huo two years ago, so he didn't know much about what had happened to Mr. Huo. On the other hand, Sister Lan was an old servant of the Huo family. Mr. Huo had come to work for the Huo family when he was only a few years old.
The Third Master didn't want to use an unfamiliar servant when he was selling his goods, so he called Sister Lan over to help him.
Sister Lan must have known the reason why the Third Master's relationship with the Old Master was so cold.
There was something on Sister Lan's face when she heard the question. She waved her hand and said, "Don't ask so many questions. I'm afraid that Third Young Master won't be happy if he hears it. Didn't Third Young Master ask you to send Miss Su off? Go ahead!"
...
When they arrived at the gate of the Emperor's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao realized that she didn't know the man's name and identity except for his surname.
She stopped in her tracks and felt that it was ridiculous.
"Did I really reach such a ridiculous agreement with a man I don't know?"
He was too impulsive...
The man's ring finger was not wearing a ring, nor did it have a ring. He should not be married.
However, even if he was a single man, the sense of shame she felt when she promised him to keep him as her mistress was not less.
She wanted to turn back and tell him several times, but she regretted it. As soon as she turned around, she stopped again.
Who else could she rely on other than him?
Just as he was hesitating, his phone rang.
She picked up the phone and heard Yue Ziqian's voice. "Where are you?"
Yue Ziqian's voice brought Su Xiaoxiao back to reality. She frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yue Ziqian said impatiently, "This Sunday is my grandfather's birthday. I'll pick you up in the morning. Remember to dress up. Don't embarrass me."
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth. "You don't have to force me to go."
She felt disgusted when she took a second look at Yue Ziqian, and she didn't want to have more contact with his family.
Yue Ziqian said coldly, "Do you think I really want to take you there? It's Grandpa who asked me to take you with me. How can you, your fiancee, not attend our family banquet? If you don't go, what will the outside association think? Isn't it to make Grandpa angry with my mother and me? Anyway, I came to pick you up that day. Also, don't make me sad at the birthday party, and don't talk nonsense in front of Grandpa. Be careful."
"I..." Before Su Xiaoxiao could finish her words, the phone had been hung up.
She held her phone tightly and could not speak for a long time.
Yue Ziqian's call made all of her hesitation disappear.
She had decided that no matter what improper demands the man surnamed Huo made, she would accept them all!
As long as he could help her get rid of Yue Ziqian and Su Man, the b*tch couple.
Perhaps she had figured it out, Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the community with a refreshed look.
"Miss left so soon." The security guard saw her coming out and nodded and bowed.
Just now, when he saw that Mr. Huo had angrily dismissed his colleagues for the sake of this girl, did he still dare to be disrespectful?
Su Xiaoxiao saw horror in the security guard's eyes.
What kind of status did that man have? How could the security guard be so afraid of him?
She was about to ask a few questions from the security guard when the driver drove the car and caught up with her. He poked his head out of the window.
"Miss Su, get in the car. Third Master asked me to send you back."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "Third Master" she was talking about was that man. She hesitated for a moment.
"The Emperor's Mansion is not in the city center. It's very difficult to stop a car at this time."
Seeing that she was a little wary, the director added.
Su Xiaoxiao then opened the car door and got into the car.
Along the way, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to get some information about that man from the other party.
However, he was obviously a competent bodyguard. "Miss Su, my mission is to send you home. I think you'd better ask him about the matter between you and the Third Master. Don't make things difficult for me. The Third Master doesn't like the people around him to talk about him casually."
Su Yi frowned slightly. "Is Mr. Huo usually so overbearing as well?"
The middle-aged man didn't comment. "Miss Su, you'll find out when you get along with the Third Master for a long time."
Su Xiaoxiao sucked in a cold breath of air and didn't ask anything else.
As soon as they arrived at the Su Family's building, Su Xiaoxiao shouted, "Stop here."
The workers followed her instructions and stopped.
After Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car, she hurried to the corridor without looking back.
When she reached the elevator, she had just pressed the elevator button when someone patted her on the shoulder. She was so scared that she almost jumped up.
"Xiaoxiao." Su Manman's suspicious voice drifted over.
Su Xiaoxiao watched as Su Manman carried a big brand on her back, as if she had just returned home. Her expression tightened, and for some reason, she felt disgusted. The image of Su Manman and Yue Ziqian rolling in bed appeared in her mind. She turned her head and said, "Hmm."
"Why are you in such a panic? Where did you go at night?" Su Man'man frowned.
"I'm not going anywhere. Let's go out and take a walk."
"Is that so? Who are you taking a walk with? Who sent you back just now?" Su Man'man got straight to the point.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she would see it, so she was stunned.
"That's a limited edition luxury car." Su Manman didn't read well, but she was very clear about famous brands and luxury goods. When she got close to her cousin, her tone was full of doubts.
Su Xiaoxiao had a guilty conscience. "No one sent me. You're wrong."
Su Man'man was too familiar with her personality. She could tell at a glance that her cousin had something on her mind. She could not help but furrow her brows. Her heart was filled with a sense of jealousy that was even greater than curiosity.
How could Su Xiaoxiao know someone who drove such a luxury car?
With a ding, the elevator was turned on.
Su Xiaoxiao rushed in, trying to avoid Su Manman's questioning.
Su Man blocked the elevator door first. "It's not like I'm teaching you how to be a good person. You're going to marry Yue Ziqian soon, and now you're fooling around with a man behind his back? Aren't you ashamed?"
Su Xiaoxiao's original guilty conscience was dissipated by Su Man's words. A mocking expression appeared on her jade-white face. Her clear and spring-like eyes stared at Su Man's delicate face, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corners of her lips.
Su Man'er's gaze made Su Man's expression turn even uglier. "What are you staring at me for?"
