indeed captivating, the current marketplace belongs to the youth. But Mr. Lei remained steadfast and politely declined: "I'm sorry, Miss Fu."Fu Yan's eyes flashed, missing not the fleeting awkwardnes...Study.

After Huo Mingzheng left, the butler brought a cup of ginseng tea and placed it by Old Master Huo's side.

"Was the old master angry about Miss Li Qin"

Old Master Huo picked up his teacup, "Back then, Ah Zheng chased after her to the airport. So many people were watching at the time. Now she's back silently, Ah Zheng has accepted her, but if she wants to get past me, forget it!"

"You're not unaware of the Second Young Master's temper, are you Once he sets his mind on something, ten oxen couldn't pull him back." The steward took the teacup and placed it back on the table.

Old Master Huo let out a cold snort: “Could he possibly defy his grandfather”

He rubbed the rosary beads in his hand, "Besides, Li Qin has a disease that prevents her from having children. The head of the Huo family has no sons under his knee, wouldn't that be embarrassing I absolutely won't allow this to happen!"

"The butler suddenly remembered, "Didn't Miss Li Qin leave the second young master because of this matter back then She said she didn't want to burden the second young master. How come she suddenly understood"

Old Master Huo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "Those young people love to make a fuss. After so long together, they feel like they can't live without each other."

"The second young master doesn't seem like the type to be swayed by romance."

"That's because you don't understand him."

Elder Huo wrapped the rosary beads around his wrist, "A-Zheng is more affectionate than anyone."

"Since you know, and yet oppose him and Miss Li, aren't you afraid of jeopardizing your relationship with the Second Master"

"Grandfather Huo waved his hand and roared, 'In any case, I absolutely won't agree!'"

The housekeeper was surprised. Given the old master's temperament, he would never confront the second young master head-on. His outright rejection of the second young master and Miss Li Qin being together was indeed excessive.

But if Miss Li Qin is truly infertile, then it makes sense.

It is absolutely unacceptable for a head of household to have no heir.

The Butler turned to leave, but then remembered something. He walked to the door, turned around, and said, "Do we still need to investigate the surveillance cameras in Ms. Fu's apartment"

"That's it." Old Master Huo waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for an investigation."

Before, the people he sent out heard a slight rustle of grass. He suspected that Huo Mingzheng and Fu Yan had an entanglement beyond that of siblings.

If she dares to seduce Huo Mingzheng, the reputation of the Huo family will be ruined. He would not hesitate to deal with her personally.

It seems he made a misjudgment.

A-Zheng was so protective of Li Qin.

......

The birthday banquet was scheduled for noon. At eleven o'clock, the sun finally pierced through the clouds and shone down from the skylight.

Song Qing霜 made several phone calls, asking Fu Yan to go and entertain the guests.

Li Qin smiled gently, "You go now."

From afar, Fu Yan saw Song Qing霜 chatting with a noblewoman. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she was laughing so hard her mouth couldn't close.

Seeing Fu Yan come over, she beckoned hurriedly, "This is Mrs. Liu, Yan Yan, quickly call someone."

"Mrs. Liu," said Fu Yan politely.

Mrs. Liu, with a kind and gentle smile, said, "This must be Miss Fu Liujie. She is so beautiful. Fifth Mrs., you are truly blessed."

"Mrs. Liu, please don't say that. Our little YanYan hasn't found a suitable match yet, how could I possibly be so lucky"

The sight of so many people gave Fu Yan pain in her temples. As she turned her head, she saw the steward leading a tall and imposing man over. A red lantern obscured her vision, preventing her from seeing his face.

It seems the other party is quite influential, to have the butler personally come out to greet them.

As the man approached, she was surprised, "Mr. Fu" Chen's eyes were icy cold, filled with a chilling killing intent.He didn't believe that the martial arts tournament this time was just a simple event for the Dark Demon Palace. He suspected there wer...
