When those people heard this, their expressions immediately changed.

Old Master Huo had said that they couldn't be too flamboyant, and that it wouldn't be good to alarm others.

"Okay Miss, we will leave immediately."

Only after the sound of the footsteps disappeared did they finally heave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, I was just about to leave." Her expression was very relaxed.

"Why were those people chasing you just now?" Gu Xiaoyue asked inadvertently.

When Huo Yan thought about it, she immediately felt a headache, and said with a look of disdain: "It's not my family, forcing me to get married, I sneaked out, and now they're all looking for me."

Gu Xiaoyue looked at her clothes. From the looks of it, she was from a rich family.

She nodded and stopped asking.

Huo Yan opened the door, revealing a small head. Seeing that there was no one outside, she shrank back in.

"Thank you for helping me today, my name is Huo Yan, I don't know what your name is."

"Gu Xiaoyue!"

Huo Yan stood up straight, patting her chest, with a look of righteousness.

"Don't worry. Since you've helped me today, you can look for me if you need anything in the future."

Gu Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw her expression, but she still nodded her head.

"Alright!"

"Then I'll leave first, otherwise, it'll be troublesome if those people come back."

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoyue's reply, she quietly fled.

Gu Xiaoyue laughed, then tidied herself up and walked out.

Ling Rufeng had been looking for her and only let out a sigh of relief when he saw her appearance.

"Where did you go?" Didn't I tell you not to run around? " Ling Rufeng's tone was somewhat harsh.

Gu Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted.

"I don't want to listen to your reasoning. In short, you must follow me now."

Only then did Gu Xiaoyue swallowed her words back. She was just an insignificant person, how could Ling Rufeng consider her feelings?

Sometimes, she really couldn't figure out who this man in front of her was.

One moment is gentle to you, the other moment is cold to you.

She stepped forward and took her arm, her smile very gentle.

"I got it!"

Ling Rufeng looked at her smile, and suddenly felt his heart tighten.

But he did not say anything, and suddenly Liu Xizhou jumped into the middle of them.

"Young Master Ling, sister-in-law, what kind of whisper are you talking about, don't let me hear it!"

Ling Rufeng squinted, and increased the distance between him and Gu Xiaoyue.

"The next time you do something, I'll cripple your limbs."

Liu Xizhou: "..."

How could he dare to lay his hands on such a person? He shouldn't unjustly accuse others like that.

Huo Yan then walked out of the toilet towards the door.

As long as she left this place, her grandfather would never force her to marry again.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

Just as Huo Yan was about to leave, the Old Master Huo appeared at the door.

His face was solemn and his expression was as dark as coal.

When Huo Yan saw this scene, she cried out, "Crap, how is Grandfather's speed so fast?"

Just as she was about to turn around, Old Master Huo waved his hand, "Capture her for me!"

Thus, Huo Yan was stopped by two or three people who came over to stop her.

"Grandfather, I don't want to go to that banquet. Don't think that I don't know about it. You're the one who's going to use that banquet to make a blind date for me!"

Old Master Huo sighed, then walked closer: "Your parents handed you over to me, of course I have to be more considerate to you, Yan, you aren't young anymore."

"But I already have someone I like!" Huo Yan pouted.

"Then tell me, who is that person?"

"I …"

Of course Huo Yan couldn't say it out loud, because she had only seen that man once.

However, that side was enough for her to love him for her entire life. Love at first sight was indeed something that existed.

Of course the Old Master Huo knew about the matter she mentioned, but she didn't know the name and his family background wasn't clear either.

No matter how he thought about it, it felt a bit unreliable. She was his granddaughter, so naturally, he wouldn't harm her.

"Since you can't say it, take it with you."

He turned around, his tone stern. "Change her clothes too. It's not proper to wear them like this."

"..."

The banquet started a long time later, but there was no objection.

Huo Yan held Old Master Huo's hand, with a listless look on her face, she followed him up the stage.

Gu Xiaoyue immediately recognized the person on the stage as the person she just met in the toilet. She really didn't expect that she was Old Master Huo's granddaughter.

"I am very happy that all of you can attend my banquet. This is my granddaughter, Huo Yan."

Everyone then looked at Huo Yan, who had an awkward smile on her face.

Although the Old Master Huo was unhappy, it was not good to show it in front of so many people.

After all, he was someone who had seen the world, so he was able to regain control in a few moves.

"Today, I'm treating you to a meal. If there's anything you find ungracious, please forgive me."

With that, Old Master Huo and Huo Yan walked off the stage, and Huo Yan knew what they were going to do next.

But she couldn't leave because Old Master Huo held her and didn't let her leave.

She could only call out in a low voice, "Grandfather, what are you doing?"

"Yan, you just stay here and take a look. Is there anyone you like?"

Huo Yan's face was filled with black lines as she said in a low dissatisfied tone, "Grandfather, I don't want to be a blind date. I've already said that I have someone I like."

"The youngest son of the Liu Family doesn't seem to be married yet. Come, let's go take a look!"

Old Master Huo simply did not listen to what she said, and directly spoke for himself.

Huo Yan knew that she wouldn't be able to escape this calamity no matter what.

Liu Xizhou was together with Ling Rufeng. When he saw Old Master Huo walk over, Liu Xizhou glared at him hatefully.

This guy was right.

Ling Rufeng did not give Liu Xizhou a reply. Instead, he raised the wine cup in his hand and laughed.

"Elder Huo, welcome home."

"Ruofeng, it's been a while. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up." Old Master Huo also raised the wine cup in his hand as a reply.

Ling Rufeng laughed lightly, "That's right, Old Huo's body is still so tough."

"Not at all, old geezer."

With that, his gaze landed on Gu Xiaoyue, and smiled ambiguously.

"This lady is …"

Huo Yan also looked at Gu Xiaoyue, and suddenly shouted: "It's you!"

This scream could not help but attract Elder Huo's attention, he laughed: "What, do you know Yan?"

Huo Yan coughed slightly, and her gaze started to wander.

"Mm, I've met her once. She helped me before, so it can be considered as we know each other!"

She couldn't say that she only got to know him after helping him escape, and at that time, her grandpa would definitely not like her.

Gu Xiaoyue slightly curled the corner of her mouth and said: "I also did not expect that it would be Elder Huo's granddaughter."

Old Master Huo looked at the woman in front of him with neither arrogance nor impatience.
