Chapter 8: Public Humiliation

ow about your miscarriage"He naturally knew.Huo Yirou saw that her expression was wrong, and frowned: "What's the matter"Su He hesitated for a moment before confessing, "It was him who arranged for th...Damn it!

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

Looking at the lipstick mark on her face, which had been hastily covered by the makeup artist in the mirror, Su He gritted her teeth and cursed Huo Shen Xi's shamelessness.

> Every time he was done, he would go to the bathroom and wash for a long time, as if he had been infected by her.

Isn't he afraid of being poisoned now

Su He angrily picked up the mouth freshener and sprayed it a few times, trying to get rid of Huo Chen Xi's scent, but the breath, like him, was domineering and couldn't be cleaned no matter what.

"That nosy person upset Nannan"

After settling the dinner arrangements, Gu Qingcheng came to the dressing room and saw Su He with a displeased face. They looked at each other in solidarity and asked angrily.

To prevent Gu Qingcheng from finding out about this embarrassing incident, Su He came up with a reason to brush it off.

Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng didn't chase after her. After some soothing, Su He finally recovered her smile.

"That's right. The banquet will begin soon, let's go and amaze 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 begin styling them.

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

She had noticed the bite mark on Su He's lip before but didn't mention it out of fear of making her embarrassed.

Without getting any useful information, Gu Qingcheng scolded him and confined Shen Muyin for an hour. She also instructed Shen Xingfan, who was in charge of security, to check the surveillance footage.

This also alarmed Shen Zhaolin.

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

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

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

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

8 p.m.

The banquet hall was glittering with lights, as bright as day.

A lavish buffet table is laden with exquisitely prepared dishes by Michelin-starred chefs, while waiters gracefully navigate the crowd, serving drinks with precision.

Dressed in their finest attire, the distinguished guests mingled and chatted in groups of three or five.

Shen Zhaolin's five sons kept their existence a secret, and now that he is hosting a grand reunion for his daughter, everyone is speculating.

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

"After being lost for so many years, no one knows what Shen Qianjin has experienced. How is her character and appearance now Who would dare to marry her"

“Back then, Old Master Shen loved her dearly. After she went missing, Old Master Shen fell seriously ill. Now that she's been found, the Shen family shouldn't treat her like a treasure Marrying her, let alone the dowry, the Shen family's protection would be enough to elevate the entire family!”

"Isn't that right The Shen family only has this one real precious daughter. So many people want to marry her, I heard even Huo Shao from the Imperial Reign Group came."

"Young Master Huo, wasn't he close to getting engaged with Miss Bai How could he come and stir up trouble"

As they were talking, Huo Chenxi in a black tuxedo, accompanied by Bai Yihuan in a sapphire blue starry sky backless gown, walked towards them gracefully.

The tailored suit accentuated Huo Chenxi's already impressive height, making him appear even more tall and slender. However, his handsome face still bore the same aloof expression as always, radiating a chilling indifference that kept people at arm's length.

Bai Yihuan beside, with exquisite makeup and a charming smile, looked radiant under the adornment of luxurious jewels, her happiness overflowing.

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

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

Feeling the envious gazes around them, Bai Yi raised her chin with a smile that grew wider, and she linked arms with Huo Chenxi even more intimately.

Huo Chen Xi frowned slightly, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes. He lowered his gaze to her abdomen, still allowing her to half hang on his arm.

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

Bai Yihuan came to look for him, and just as she did, a sea snake fell from the doorframe and hung around her neck, instantly fainting her.

Startled and pregnant, she needed his care.

Just as Bai Yihuan was enjoying the envy and admiration of many wealthy socialites, Su He appeared in full dress.

She wore a high-end, custom silver floor-length mermaid gown with a defined waist. As she moved, the silver accents on the dress shimmered like water waves, reflecting the brilliance of the expensive pink diamond jewelry, making her appear dazzling and radiant.

Her face, as small as a palm, was framed by a pair of sparkling eyes that seemed to hold the brilliance of a thousand stars. A casual glance from them could stir one's very soul.

Even the most well-traveled and sophisticated noblemen were astonished by the breathtaking beauty favored by the gods.

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

Everyone was unconsciously drawn to Su He.

Bai Yihuan, ignored and neglected, ground her teeth with fury.

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 sensing her gaze, Su He looked over, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Yihuan's anger was completely ignited, and she instinctively looked at Huo Chenxi, but saw him staring straight at Su He.

A look of bewilderment fell upon Su He's eyes, tinged with a hint of astonishment and unfamiliarity. They scrutinized her curiously, as if confirming that the stunning woman before them was indeed the former Su He who hadn't dared to meet his gaze, let alone apply makeup.

Su He has never attended a banquet with Huo Chen Xi, and they didn't even have a wedding reception. Huo Chen Xi has never seen Su He dressed up before.

Bai Yihuan was stabbed by his gaze, her fingernails digging deep into her palm.

Huo Chenxi had never looked at her with such eyes!

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

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

A subtle shift occurred in everyone's eyes.

"What a fancy banquet! I thought it was some wealthy heiress's party!"

"This outfit looks rented, doesn't it You really spared no expense."

"With that looks and figure, it wouldn't be bad to have some fun!"

The harsh discussion spread, Bai Yihuan smiled contentedly, and looked provocatively at Su He.

Su He looked indifferent, not paying her any attention at all.

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

"You said you'd wait for me, why aren't you here"

A man with a refined face, wearing metallic frameless glasses, a warm and gentle smile, and an outstanding temperament, looked at Su He with fondness.

Su He blinked.

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

Now it seems, familial pressure, big brother won!

Feeling his arm in hers, Su He tilted her head and smiled faintly at Shen Rufeng.

Shen Ruifeng gave her a reassuring smile, lifted his chin to look around, and his gaze was filled with natural arrogance.

In the end, it fell to 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, yet you deliberately went after my female companion. Could this be a way to attract some VIP"

The blunt and sarcastic questions left Bai Yihuan embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Ho Chen Xi's sword eyebrows furrowed, he glared displeasure at Shen Ru Feng's hand resting on Su He's shoulder, and spoke in an unkind tone: "She is my companion. Does it have anything to do with you whether she goes on stage or not"

Just now Bai Yihuan humiliated and embarrassed Shen Rufeng in public, Huo Chenxi watched from the sidelines. Now that Shen Rufeng retaliates, he can't help but stand up for Bai Yihuan.

He's truly in love with Bai Yihuan!

Su He increasingly found herself amused by her past self. She looked up at Shen Ruifeng, gesturing for a change of location, unwilling to be bothered by these two anymore.

Shen Rufeng patted her shoulder, turned to look at Huo Chenxi, and chuckled lightly: "Huo Shao's invitation, does it have the right to bring a female companion"

The other guests were immediately taken aback.

This family reunion invitation has different levels, with only the top tier being allowed to bring a female companion.

Naturally, given Huo Chenxi's status and position, one would assume he held the rank of Special Grade.

Seldom attending events with a female companion, Huo Chenxi hadn't paid attention to the invitation level. Hearing him say this, his face instantly turned ugly.

Shen Ruifeng deliberately embarrassed him and immediately called security personnel to check the invitation level in public.

"Mr. Huo, your invitation is of the common level, with no permission to bring a female companion!" Shen Xingfan pretended to check on his tablet and announced in a loud voice.

Before, Hai She and the warning letter left him indifferent, but now seeing Huo Chen Xi's face twisted in anger, Shen Xing Fan felt a sense of relief.

The next second, Shen Rufeng shot a withering glance at Shen Xingfan. He immediately sobered up and cleared his throat, then said to Bai Yihuan without any politeness: "Miss Bai, if an invited performing guest refuses to perform, please leave the ship immediately!"

Huo Chenxi, publicly humiliated and slapped in the face, couldn't even describe his face with the word "embarrassed."

Under one's own roof, one has to bow their head.

He dangerously glanced at Su He and Shen Ruifeng, coldly saying "Good", intending to take Bai Yihuan away and settle the score later.

Bai Yihuan was unwilling to leave easily.

"Chen Xi, aren't you going to talk to President Shen" she pretended to be considerate. "Don't let me affect important matters, I'll just go perform!"

Just then, a sharp female voice, laced with surprise and inquiry, rang out as if in response to Bai Yihuan's anticipation.

"Storm, who is she Is that why you want to break up with me"or keeps her head down, with no frontal shots.But the girl's clothing, even her height and build, were exactly the same as yesterday.The most crucial detail is a side-profile picture of a girl, with a...
