Chapter 11: Changing Faces

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Once Huo Man came out of the study, Chen Tao no longer showed up at the banquet with the excuse that he had something important to do.

This made many people speculate that Professor Chen had specially held this banquet to meet Huo Man.

As soon as Huo Cheng saw Huo Man, he quickly changed his expression and greeted her with a flattering smile.

“Manman, how did the conversation with Professor Chen go?” Huo Cheng kept calling her ‘Manman’, as if he loved his daughter very much.

“Don’t call me that,” Huo Man said coldly. “I feel disgusted.”

Huo Cheng’s face turned ugly.

However, when he thought of Huo Man’s relationship with Chen Tao, he could only hold back and continue to smile. “Do you know Professor Chen? Why didn’t you tell us before?”

Huo Man laughed coldly in her heart. Who did they think they were?

However, she maintained her cold expression and said, “I’m not familiar with Professor Chen.”

“But I can tell that Professor Chen likes you a lot,” Huo Cheng continued.

Huo Man didn’t want to waste too much time with Huo Cheng, so she frowned and thought up a random excuse to shake him off.”I met him once when Grandpa brought him to the countryside to fish.”

Hearing this, Huo Cheng immediately understood.

Old Master Huo had a lot of connections, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to know Chen Tao.

However, Chen Tao’s attitude towards Huo Man was unusual. He held too much respect for her just because of her relation to Old Master Huo.

Could it be that there were still things related to Chen Tao in the old man’s will?

Huo Cheng was still doubtful, but he decided to observe the situation.

Huo Man left Chen Tao’s house. As soon as she reached the door, a figure pounced on her and almost slapped her.

A man suddenly appeared in front of her and before she could make a move, he caught the wrist of the person who tried to hit her.

Huo Man took a closer look and saw that the crazy woman who had rushed up to her was Huo Yan, and the one protecting her was Shen Bei.

“Young Master… Young Master Shen…” Huo Yan wanted to kick up a fuss, but just as the words reached her mouth, she realized that the person in front of her was Shen Bei. She immediately retracted her sharp gaze.

Shen bei flung Huo Yan’s hand away. His cold eyes were like daggers that pierced deep into Huo Yan’s heart.

Behind him, Huo Man stood with an icy expression on her face.”Huo Yan, didn’t Huo Cheng slap you hard enough?”

“Huo Man, you…”

Huo Yan really wanted to scold her back and even return the slap to Huo Man, but she had to maintain the image of a well-bred lady in front of Brother Shen bei.

“Sis, I know I was wrong before, but, but you can’t just humiliate me in front of so many people… I, I’m your biological sister, after all…” Huo Yan was like an A-list actress, her tears came out at the drop of a hat and she switched her role to a victim in front of Shen Bei.

Huo Mancouldn’t help but sigh at the power of genes. Huo Yan’s face-changing skills were probably inherited from Huo Cheng.

“Huo Yan, stop pretending. Shen Bei saw your brilliant performance just now.” Huo Man exposed the fact that Shen Bei had been present all along.

Huo Yan’s face froze. Did she not notice Shen Bei’s presence just now?

Now, it was her turn to be embarrassed.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.” Huo Man didn’t want to argue with Huo Yan anymore. She walked past Shen Bei and Huo Yan and left the place.

Shen Bei wanted to stop Huo Man, but seeing her in a hurry, he swallowed his words.

“Brother Shen Bei …”

“Get lost,” he snapped.

Seeing Huo Man leave, Huo Yan wanted to take the opportunity to put on an act in front of Shen Bei. However, Shen Bei did not give her any face at all. He left with a cold word and strode away.

Huo Yan was so angry that she almost went crazy.

She had never suffered such grievances in her life! She was beaten by her father in front of so many people! Most importantly, Brother Shen Bei, who she had been thinking about so much, was present!

And all of this was thanks to Huo Man!

Huo Yan had never thought that Huo Man, the jinx and country bumpkin, would have such great abilities! Not only did she get her grandfather to leave all his assets to her, but she also had ties with Professor Chen!

No matter what, one day, she would make that bitch, Huo Man, pay!
