Chapter 245
Chapter 245: Chapter 245 had already guessed that she was going to be a demon
“Is this for me?”Huo Mingyue took it in surprise. “You’re the most thoughtful and considerate, Yan Yan.”
Xi Lulong was so angry that her chest hurt and her breathing quickened. Today was her birthday! That should be a present for her!
Xi Yan thought about it and said, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go accompany Grandma.”
XI jingxing nodded randomly. He wanted to give her some advice, but he couldn’t put on the airs of a parent. Today, his mother’s attack had made him feel like he had lost all face.
As he was thinking, he heard Li Meiyun’s nervous voice. “Auntie, What’s wrong? !”
When Xi Yan heard this, he sped up and ran out. What a joke. He didn’t want to stay.

When Huo Ziang and Fu Yuhuai’s car arrived at the Autumn Water Bay Villa, it was almost dark.
Their car set off in front and behind Xi Yaohua’s car, but they were unlucky. They were blocked at a certain section of the road and could not keep up with the car in front.
Huo Ziang was not in a good mood. Of course, he did not want to eat at such an occasion, so his face was as cold as ice. His entire body was wrapped in a low pressure.
The driver lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound, trying his best to reduce his presence.
Fu Yuhuai comforted him, “The banquet should not have officially started yet. Xiangxiang will definitely wait for us.”
Huo Ziang pursed his lips, but he could not hide the frustration in his heart.
This was not the problem at all — he wanted to use XI Lulong’s birthday banquet to bring up the matter of the engagement again while the elders of the Xi family were present.
Back then, the engagement was set by the Xi and Huo family elders, but it was Yan Xi who returned the engagement token and called off the engagement verbally. Of course, this could not be counted.
Back then, he was intimidated by Yan XI and felt embarrassed, so he agreed easily. Now that he thought about it, it was too hasty.
Now, he was at the top of the entertainment industry, and his earning ability was no worse than those old families that had gone downhill.
He was confident that he could give Yan Xi a better life.
Furthermore, it was such a coincidence that old Mrs. XI, Huo Mingyue, had returned to the country.
The other party was a branch of the Huo family. Even though they had produced five outfits, they were still from the same family, so they would definitely be willing to help him.
Grandfather XI had originally decided on this engagement because of Huo Mingyue’s sake. He wanted to add a kiss to the marriage.
When he thought of this, he felt a little more assured and walked towards the living room.
“Young master Huo, Young Master Fu!”Wang Zinan greeted excitedly. She was wearing a white dress that revealed her fair calves. She looked a little shy.
She had lived in Xi Lurong’s villa for quite some time. At first, Xi Lurong was quite friendly and took care of her as a guest.
After she recovered from the injury on her foot, the other party’s attitude changed drastically.
He was not friendly and even wanted to kick her out.
Wang Zinan was very sullen. She knew that Chen Xiangxiang and her daughter must have said bad things about her.
It was not easy for her to live under someone else’s roof until today. So many guests came to Xi Lulong’s birthday banquet tonight. This was her chance.
“You were stuck in traffic, right? Come with me. The banquet is about to start.”Wang Zinan acted like the host and led her to the living room.
Huo Ziang glanced at her. “You’re Wang Zinan?”
Wang Zinan’s heart skipped a beat. Huo Ziang actually remembered her?
The other party had only met her once during Chen Xiangxiang’s birthday celebration. She had thought that the flamboyant Zhan Xinrong and the bright and beautiful Luo Wanrong would attract the other party’s attention.
She did not expect that the other party would remember the dull and plain her.
Just thinking about it made Wang Zinan’s heart feel sweet, and her ears turned red. “It’s rare that you still remember me, Huo.”
Huo Zi’ang said, “Your presence has already caused trouble for the XI family. Please take the initiative to leave. I’ll also suggest Uncle Xi send you off later.”
Wang Zinan turned her head to look at him in disbelief, and her eyes slowly turned red.
Huo Ziang’s face was cold. He just walked past her without even looking at her.
Fu Yuhuai followed and reminded the servant beside him, “Don’t let irrelevant people go to the front hall and crash the guests.”
The servant nodded and quickly pulled Wang Zinan back. She was furious.
This mischievous woman! She knew that she was going to be a mischievous woman!
Xi Lulong had even specially instructed her to help out in the kitchen. She also wanted him to keep an eye on her.
Who knew that she would be so bold as to run out when no one was looking.
—
Yan XI and Xi Yan helped Huo Mingyue out of the door and coincidentally saw such a wonderful scene.
Wang Zinan seemed to have found someone to rely on. She cried out aggrievedly, “Xi Yan!”
Tears rolled in her eyes and finally fell.
Why did she think Xi Yan was bad in the past? He licked her so much and was generous.
None of the men outside were good. Either they only wanted to take advantage of her and did not want to take responsibility, or they looked down on others from above.
She regretted it. She really regretted it.
“Xi Yan, I’ve always wanted to look for you, but they all stopped me from seeing you. Xi Yan, I...”
Wang Zinan was so excited that she wanted to go forward.
Xi Yan looked as if he had seen a ghost. He subconsciously took a step back. He had almost forgotten that Xi Lulong had brought Wang Zinan home.
However, wasn’t the other party staying overnight? ! He had actually stayed until now? ? ! Could it be that he had deliberately come to wait for him?
When he thought of this, Xi Yan felt goosebumps all over his body. He said vigilantly, “Stop right there! It’s impossible between us. Give Up!”
Jin Zhao had said before that he did not have enough experience dealing with those green tea and White Lotus. He did not have any tricks up his sleeve, and that was to firmly and decisively reject them. He did not want to listen, he did not want to see, and he did not want to see.
He must not hesitate and give the other party a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Wang Zinan’s face was full of disbelief.
Xi Yan followed Gu Nianzhi Feng and quickly got into the car. This place was too unlucky. He had to run faster.
“Yan Yan, help Grandma get into the car quickly!”
He did not need to say anything. They had originally planned to run, so of course, they had to run as fast as they could.
Yan Xi quickened her pace and walked past Huo Ziang and Fu Yuhuai without looking away.
“Yan Yan...”Huo Ziang subconsciously reached out to stop her. He looked at Huo Mingyue. “Third aunt.”
Huo Mingyue frowned slightly. “Zi’ang, why don’t you help me check on Rong Rong? I heard that she has high blood pressure. Is she okay?”
While Huo Zi’ang turned his head, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other. They sped up tacitly and got into the car to close the door in one go!
Huo Zi’ang:”...”
—
When they got into the car, they looked at each other and smiled.
“Uncle Gu, please drive quickly,”Yan XI instructed. It would be too late if they did not leave now
Gu Nianzhi swiftly started the engine and the car sped away, leaving all the noise and panic behind.
Huo Mingyue noticed gu nianzhi Feng’s gaze in the rearview mirror. She tucked her hair away and smiled. “I’ve just taught a few good-for-nothings a lesson. You must be joking.”
Gu Nianzhi Feng had interacted with Huo Mingyue a few times in the past. In his impression, Huo Mingyue was a person who did things by the book. Although she had the ability and means, she never showed herself.
