The two of them were expressionless, as if they were strangers.

Just as Shen Bei was about to walk over and say something to Huo Man, Huo Yan’s voice was suddenly heard from not far away.

“Professor Chen, Huo Man is the bane of the Huo family. Anyone who gets close to her will be unlucky! You’d better not see her!”

Huo Man naturally heard Huo Yan’s voice. She turned around and saw Chen Tao and the crowd surrounding him.

In an instant, Chen Tao’s face was covered with dark clouds.

“Isn’t Huo Man your sister? Isn’t she from the Huo family?” Chen Tao asked.

It was Huo Cheng’s turn to be suspicious. Many people in the circle knew that the old lady of the Huo family had died. No wonder the Huo family didn’t like her and drove her to the countryside.

There were also people who really believed it, and they looked at Huo Man as if they had seen a ghost.

However, Chen Tao did not care about these things at all. Instead, he blamed the Huo family.

Huo Cheng was startled by the anger on Chen Tao’s face and quickly explained, “I’m sorry, my second daughter is unsensible and said the wrong thing. Huo Yan, apologize to professor Chen!”

Huo Yan’s eyes widened as she stared at Huo Cheng. Her father, who had always doted on her, wanted her to apologize for scolding Huo Man?

“It’s useless to apologize to me. You must apologize to Huo Man!” Chen Tao no longer had a kind smile on his face. His face was stern and he looked particularly serious.

Huo Yan didn’t know why Chen Tao was so protective of Huo Man. Her face turned pale as she looked at Liang Yu and Huo Cheng anxiously, not knowing what to do.

No one dared to say anything, especially those who had just gossiped about Huo Man. They were extremely nervous and curious as to why Chen Tao was so protective of Huo Man.

At this time, Chen Tao happened to see Huo Man, who was watching the show on the side. He smiled again and strode over to Huo Man.

“Miss Huo, I finally get to see you!”

Chen Tao’s politeness and respect for Huo Man made everyone present gasp.

Who was this Huo Man? How could she be so respected by the honorable Professor Chen?

Huo Man smiled at Chen Tao. “Professor Chen, I’m sorry. There were too many people looking for you just now. I didn’t go.”

“It’s fine,” Chen Tao shook hands with Huo Man, then turned around and glared at the panicking Huo Yan. He said coldly, “Miss Huo Man is the most distinguished guest I’ve ever invited. I’d like to see who dares to scold her!”

The most distinguished guest?

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Huo Man.

As for the person involved, Huo Man was expressionless as she welcomed everyone’s gaze.

“Huo Yan, are you still not going to apologize to miss Huo Man?” Chen Tao’s voice was low and full of oppression.

Huo Yan gritted her teeth. She didn’t want to be humble in front of Huo Man in front of so many people. She retorted, “I, why should I apologize to her? She was the one who killed grandma first! She’s a jinx!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Huo Cheng slapped Huo Yan’s face with a crisp sound.

Not only Huo Yan, but even Huo Man was stunned.

Huo Cheng’s love for his daughter, Huo Yan, was well known.

But now, in order to get Chen Tao’s approval, he actually hit Huo Yan in front of everyone.

“Daddy!”

“Why aren’t you apologizing?!” Huo Cheng didn’t care about Huo Yan’s crying at all. He interrupted her and scolded her.

Liang Yu wanted to stop her, but seeing Huo Cheng and Chen Tao’s expressions, she could only lower her eyes and stand aside obediently, watching Huo Yan embarrass herself.

Huo Yan knew that Huo Cheng was really angry.

If she continued to make a scene, she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the house by Huo Cheng.

“…”

“Speak louder, I can’t hear you.” Huo Man stood still and said to Huo Yan, “Why don’t you show any sincerity?”

Huo Yan’s face turned pale. She thought she could just apologize, but Huo Man didn’t want to let her go either.

In this situation, Huo Yan could only cover the handprint on her face and walk a few steps closer to Huo Man. Tears fell down her face, and she raised her voice, “H- sister Huo Man, I’m sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have scolded you.”
