Upon hearing An Nan's brilliant speech, a man's admiration in his eyes grew stronger, and he secretly felt proud: "No wonder she's the woman Lin Mubai fancies. To remain calm in such a situation, brilliant, brilliant, simply brilliant."
Han Xiayang, standing next to Lin Mubai, looked at his boss and friend with an expression of arrogant pride in his eyes and felt a chill running down his spine, as if he was witnessing the birth of a new generation of henpecked husbands.
As the main character of the evening, Xi Shaoqi also wore a face full of amazement. He always knew his old classmate had a high IQ, but never imagined her tongue could be so sharp. He couldn't help but be glad he'd never offended her, or else he'd have no place to bury himself.
Luckily she thought to inform the media about today's event, because if she had, Huo Bingxuan might have had to hide at home and never go out again, and probably would never marry.
Just imagine, what man would want to marry a tigress? Isn't that asking to be ridiculed?
No matter how wealthy the Huo family is, no man would want to lose face like that. A man can desire money, but he wants dignity even more.
As the situation was about to conclude smoothly, Xi Shaoqi stepped in to mediate, considering that Huo Boxuan was still his brother and Huo Bingxuan was his brother's sister.
But when he thought of Huo Bingxuan attempting to strike An Nan, if it hadn't been for An Nan dodging quickly, it would be An Nan lying on the ground now. Thinking about this, he didn't want to intervene in the situation.
Since the main character of the evening didn't come forward to stop it, the others naturally were happy to continue enjoying the show.
Huo Boxuan, who just moments ago was determined to find a lawyer to sue An Nan, suddenly had his face change dramatically. He glared at An Nan with fiery eyes, feeling both unwilling and angry in his heart. Would his sister have to swallow this bitter pill? But if she didn't, and the other side exposed tonight's events to the media, her reputation would be ruined, and how would she ever get married?
In a tangled moment, Huo Boxuan carried his almost fainting sister in his arms, casting a hateful glance at An Nan's direction, then unwillingly departed.
Watching his broad back leaving, An Nan naturally understood the meaning in his eyes before he left. It was a warning that things wouldn't be resolved so easily.
She shrugged indifferently, gave a self-deprecating smile, thinking to herself that there are always so many troublemakers. Let them come. She's not easily scared; one life to live, and one life to die, who fears whom?
With the troublemakers gone, Xi Shaoqi stepped forward to mediate. Everyone then gathered around the cake, clamoring to cut it.
An Nan followed the crowd to the stand before the massive cake, her distant gaze making it impossible for others to guess her thoughts at that moment.
At that moment, Xi Shaoqi, surrounded by everyone, couldn't attend to An Nan. He could only wait until the birthday party was over to find her and have a good talk. He hoped she wouldn't be angry because of Huo Bingxuan's matter, or stop dealing with him, otherwise, he'd surely strangle that hateful woman, Huo Bingxuan, who cares if she's Huo Boxuan's sister.
For his good brother, he now had complaints too. That's because he pampered Huo Bingxuan too much, which led her to act so recklessly. She had made a mess of his birthday party today, and he hadn't even taken her to task.
