Chapter 101

er had such a grand gathering!" The old patriarch leaned against his headboard, where a dim yellow lamp cast a soft glow, easing the throbbing pain in his head."The engagement banquet will proceed as...He bypassed Shen Rushan and strode towards the side hall.

“Mingzheng!” Shen Rushan chased after him again. He was afraid that the news would spread and things would get worse if they waited. It was better to put out the fire of the Huo family’s anger as soon as possible so that the matter could be resolved quickly. “I know that the Huo family also participated in the bidding for the comprehensive rehabilitation center project. In this case, the person in charge of the project is my apprentice. I can give the Huo Group the green light.”

Huo Mingzheng's footsteps stopped.

His silence was more hopeful than a refusal.

Shen Rushan finally stopped his steps, and the rest of the words were easy to say.

Before leaving, Huo Mingzheng rubbed his jade ring finger, his eyes cold and slightly chilly.

"You all know better than I what Shen Wei has done. Mr. Shen's career path could go very far, but if he had blemishes on his record, it would be a pity."

Shen Rushan wouldn't have failed to hear the subtext. He had already thought about it on his way here.

That day, Shen Rushan severed his relationship with Shen Wei, the father and daughter, and drove Shen Wei abroad.

Shen Wei was thrown out of the country to fend for himself. That night, he was dragged to a corner by a group of homeless people on the street and assaulted. It was said that he was found the next day, naked and unconscious, sleeping on the roadside.

Huo Mingzheng returned to the old house in the evening. Hearing from the housekeeper that the grandfather hadn't eaten, he put down the documents at hand and entered the inner room.

"All the invitations for tomorrow's engagement have been sent out. The Huo family has never had such a grand gathering!" The old patriarch leaned against his headboard, where a dim yellow lamp cast a soft glow, easing the throbbing pain in his head.

"The engagement banquet will proceed as planned." Huo Mingzheng smoothed his cuff and brushed off a raindrop.

"The engagement is off, why have a wedding party"

He sneered, "The Huo family isn't just mine to marry."

Old Master Huo looked at him in confusion. Huo Mingzheng gave a signal with his eyes, and Cao Fang opened the tablet.

"It was the paparazzi who took the photos and sold them to the media. Miss Huo, no media dared to report it. Someone claimed credit for sending the photos to me." Huo Mingzheng took the tablet.

Old Master Huo put on his reading glasses and when he saw the few photos on the tablet, his face turned ashen. "Jing Shu dares to..."

"Grandpa, as I understand it, Jing Shu likes him very much. He is also a good man. Love between men and women is natural. Instead of blaming her, why not fulfill her wish"

Grandfather Huo pondered for a moment before nodding. "For now, this is the only way. Tomorrow's engagement banquet will change the names to theirs. Although it's sudden, there won't be too much loss. The Fu family deserves to be with the Huo family, and it can also preserve the Huo family's reputation."

Fu Yan was still staying at Qin Heng's hospital, the medicine Daniel had given her was very potent, she was drowsy all day long.

Ho Mingzheng never showed up, only Qin Heng told her that Shen Wei had his leg broken and was thrown abroad.

She woke up at this moment, the nurse brought over congee and side dishes. She didn't have much of an appetite, but the side dishes looked really good, very similar to what she ate when she woke up at Huo Mingzheng's estate last time.

However, the dishes are quite similar. That's normal too.

After she had eaten most of the bowl, she held the spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl, lost in thought, and didn't hear anyone come in.

Until a cold voice came, "Can't you eat"

Fu Yan suddenly came to her senses. In the dim light, she saw Huo Mingzheng. He wasn't wearing his black trench coat today, instead, a well-tailored suit fit his tall frame perfectly. As he walked closer, the man's powerful aura filled the air.

Fu Yan involuntarily tightened her grip on the spoon. Huo Mingzheng was perceptive, he probably guessed what happened last night.

She remained silent, waiting for him to begin reprimanding her.

Who knew, Huo Mingzheng took the spoon from her hand and put it in the bowl, "What a bad habit."

"Let's go to Huo's engagement party together tomorrow."

Fu Yan was stunned. Wasn't Shen Wei gone

Then it couldn't possibly be Huo Mingzheng. The Old Master wouldn't hastily and carelessly shove just anyone onto him.

"Who is engaged"

Ho Mingzheng chuckled softly: " Huo Jingshu and Fu Jing." The heads of Sheng Hai Group will also be there."Fu Yan gazed at the gold-lettered inscription on the invitation.There is a project that has been the most difficult to handle in the department, which...
