Huo Feng’s tone was so gentle, but it made Huo Tian’s heart feel increasingly heavy and cold.
Her lips trembled as she stammered, “Alright, stop it…”
Her reaction was clearly because someone had touched the part in her heart that she did not want anyone to pry into.
However, Huo Feng wasn’t considerate at all to Huo You. He continued to say cruelly, “The day you chose to return to the Huo Family, your mother-daughter relationship with Mrs. Hill had completely ended. Do you want to keep the warm memories you had when you were with Mrs. Hill? But those are just illusionary bubbles. Huo You, let me give you a piece of advice. Since you’ve chosen to follow your desires, you should be selfish to the end. Don’t be indecisive anymore.”
Huo You’s face was pale and she was speechless. She looked at herself in the mirror in shock. This exquisite and beautiful face was clearly hers, so why did it suddenly look so unfamiliar?
“Think about it carefully.” Huo Feng stood behind Huo You with a calm expression. “I believe that you’ll make the right choice, right?”
Huo You didn’t answer. Huo Feng didn’t need her reply either. He turned around and left the dressing room after saying that.
Huo Feng probably gave some instructions to the makeup artists, and soon, a hairstylist walked in. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, “Miss, I’ll help you fix your hairstyle.”
Huo You was still immersed in her thoughts and didn’t answer for a moment. The hairstylist breathed lightly and carefully tidied her hair that was messed up by Huo Feng.
The incident of a man speaking rudely to Huo You and then having his face splashed with alcohol did not cause too much of a commotion, but the subordinates did not dare to hide anything from their master’s family. Xi Cheng was exchanging pleasantries with Ding Rong and a few business partners who were on good terms overseas when the butler quietly went up and whispered this matter into his ear while he was refilling his wine glass.
Xi Cheng quietly exchanged a few more words of pleasantry with his business partners and found a suitable opportunity to bring Ding Rong back to a small study room behind the banquet hall.
Xi Cheng did not take this matter to heart and only looked at Ding Rong with concern. “Rongrong, quickly sit down and have a rest. You’ve never liked to wear high heels. You must be tired from standing for so long in them, right?”
In the past, Ding Rong’s living environment was simple, so she did not need to dress up too formally. Moreover, she wasn’t the type to dress up gorgeously and would mostly wear comfortable clothes. It had been more than 20 years since Ding Rong had worn high heels.
It was all thanks to Ding Rong’s strong willpower that she was able to socialize outside for such a long time in a pair of seven-inch high heels tonight. Xi Cheng would occasionally secretly use his arm to support Ding Rong for a while when no one was paying attention. Only then could she maintain her perfect image.
At this moment, Ding Rong did not say anything and sat down on the sofa readily. A waiter brought over comfortable soft-soled shoes. Ding Rong heaved a long sigh of relief and asked as she changed her shoes, “What happened just now?”
The butler subconsciously glanced at Xi Cheng, who nodded slightly. The butler stopped trying to hide things and told Ding Rong everything that had happened.
Ding Rong frowned slightly when she found out that this matter was related to Huo You.
The butler had served Xi Cheng for more than ten years and knew quite well about the feud between Huo You and Huo Tian. Therefore, he naturally took Huo Tian’s side and didn’t like Huo You, who was always targeting Huo Tian.
However, the butler did not add fuel to the fire. He only described what had just happened impartially without any intention of favoring the man involved in this incident.
As she listened, Ding Rong’s expression gradually darkened. By the time the butler finished explaining everything, Ding Rong’s heart was already filled with anger.
She let out a cold snort and said, “This man’s mouth is too dirty. He’s simply disgusting.”
At this moment, Ding Rong was so angry that her breathing became heavier and a blush appeared on her face. Her rosy look tickled Xi Cheng’s heart.
Xi Cheng sat beside Ding Rong, put his arm around her shoulder, and consoled her gently, “There are scumbags everywhere in this world. It’s not surprising that one or two of them appeared at our banquet. Since he disgusts you, I’ll get someone to chase him away. In the future, his family doesn’t have to appear in an event that has members of the Hill Family present.”
Ding Rong’s expression eased up a lot and she smiled gently at Xi Cheng..
