Chapter 296 - Unfriendly people

Huo Zhiheng stood in the corner and secretly observed Yan Luoxi, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

When he thought about how his cousin who had a black poison tongue like mouth would actually fall into the hands of a woman, Huo Zhiheng felt a hint of joy in his heart.

When he raised his head to look at Yan Luoxi, he realized that there was an unfamiliar man standing by her side.

Huo Zhiheng's eyes congealed, and he immediately walked over.

"Why did you come here? Come with me!" Huo Zhiheng immediately grabbed Yan Luoxi's hand, wanting to help her out of this difficult situation.

When the other party saw Huo Zhiheng, he immediately shouted to stop him, "Who are you?"

"Why should I tell you?" Huo Zhiheng coldly glared at the other party.

An unfamiliar man in his thirties blocked Yan Luoxi's path. It was obvious that he harbored ulterior motives for her.

Huo Zhiheng naturally would not sit by idly and watch as she was disturbed by other men.

"You're her boyfriend?" Seeing that Yan Luoxi did not break away from her, the other side thought that they were a couple.

Yan Luoxi and Huo Zhiheng were around the same age, and they were both handsome, so the other party couldn't help but think too much into it.

He could feel the pressure coming from the man and carefully observed him.

Although the other party's age was slightly different from theirs, he was still very imposing. Furthermore, he was very well-dressed, and appeared to be refined and calm.

He was overwhelmed by the other party's aura and did not know how to reply to his question.

Yan Luoxi and him were not a couple at all, and could not even be considered friends. The reason they met, was entirely because of Yan Jiming.

"He's my brother!" Yan Luoxi could feel the oppressiveness of the other party, but she did not care in the least and pulled Huo Zhiheng along as she said, "Today, I'm here to make friends. If you want to be my friend, I welcome you!"

"However, if you have any other intentions, please stop thinking about it!" After Yan Luoxi finished speaking, she pulled on Huo Zhiheng's sleeves and left with a domineering aura.

Yan Luoxi wanted everyone to know that she was not someone who could casually strike up a conversation.

When the crowd saw her domineering appearance, their gazes all gathered on her.

"Big sister is too domineering, I suddenly like her a little!"

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can just reject him privately. To actually say it out in front of the crowd, isn't that clearly making things difficult for you?"

"So what? I feel that what she did was right. She should be quick and accurate when dealing with men she doesn't like!"

"Humph, she's just a little bit capable, that's all. She's overweeningly arrogant. I don't think she can walk that far!"

"Since she has the capital to reject the pursuit of others, why are you guys speaking up behind her back? Even if you have the ability, you should still act as domineeringly as her!"

… ….

Some people admired Yan Luoxi's actions, and even Huo Zhiheng was shocked by her actions.

No wonder his cousin liked such a straightforward and unpretentious woman.

She was indeed a very attractive woman. Not only did she have an outstanding appearance, but she also had the ability to look down on a group of veterans who had been in the business circles for many years.

Huo Zhiheng couldn't help but admire her a little.

"Just now, that man's eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty wolf. Why aren't you afraid at all?" In addition to being shocked, Huo Zhiheng's heart was full of doubt.

He had interacted with quite a few women and most of them were very timid. Huo Zhiheng was very displeased with them and so he was always single.

Today, after he had seen Yan Luoxi's domineering side, he knew that women could still live such a carefree life.

"Why should I be afraid?" She had met someone more terrifying than him before, someone she had never feared or flinched from, let alone a stranger.

Even if the other party really did come with ill intentions, what could he do in front of so many people?

"Don't you feel that the way that man looks at you is especially similar to a cold and violent killer?" Huo Zhiheng felt a trace of hostility from his body.

Even if the other party had concealed it very well, Huo Zhiheng, who lived abroad all year round, had also encountered an assassination attempt.

His gaze made Huo Zhiheng think of an assassin that he had caught with his bodyguard before …

"I've seen even more terrifying people, so why would I care about the look in his eyes?" Yan Luoxi smiled.

"Have you ever seen a man more terrifying than him? Who is it?" During this period of time, Huo Zhiheng had been battling with his wits and courage, it was rare for him to have the time to relax, the gossips in his body, were suddenly triggered.

"Your cousin!" Yan Luoxi casually mentioned Yan Jiming.

Back then, he had and forcefully imprisoned her in the villa, causing her to become anorexic …

Hearing her mention Yan Jiming, Huo Zhiheng's eyes flashed, "In your heart, do you have any feelings for my cousin?"

He had held this question in his heart for a long time, but because they were not that close, Huo Zhiheng did not manage to ask it.

After Yan Luoxi heard his question, she immediately lowered her eyes.

Actually, even she did not know what kind of feelings she had towards Yan Jiming.

She had always wanted to take revenge on him for losing her child.

However, the situation had escalated to such a point that Yan Luoxi could no longer have any thoughts of taking revenge on him.

Recently, Yan Jiming had encountered too many things, and his body was still in such a state of destruction.

Yan Luoxi had never thought that she would be so cruel to him...

"Cousin is currently like that. I wonder if he'll be able to recover. The doctor said that if he can't find a way to treat his illness, I'm afraid that time is running out!" Seeing that she had been silent, Huo Zhiheng's heart was filled with emotion.

All this while, Huo Zhiheng had always admired Yan Jiming and had treated him as his own target.

Huo Zhiheng really wanted to help him get rid of the pain, but it was a pity that he wasn't the person he cared about the most.

Although his words were exaggerated, they were the truth.

The seventy percent between the two of them suddenly became silent and awkward …

After the banquet, Huo Zhiheng personally sent her to the villa's entrance.

"Do you want to go in and see your cousin?" Yan Luoxi opened the car door and stepped out.

"I'm not going, my company still has some matters to attend to, I need to go back!" Huo Zhiheng knew how cold and proud his cousin was.

He definitely wouldn't wish for her to see his current state. Moreover, if he stayed at Yan Luoxi's home to recuperate, that must be his wish.

Huo Zhiheng didn't want to disturb his tranquility …

The next day, Yan Luoxi contacted Lu Yunting's trusted aides in the company, and then asked them to meet on their own.

After the other party came over, she immediately dialed Lu Yunting's number, and invited him to a video call.

The Lu Yunting in the video was in good spirits, although there was an extra scar on her face, she was not affected by it.

"Cao Chengfeng was affected by the murder and his power within the company was affected. Now, as long as you come back, you can kick him out of the company at any time. What are your plans?"

She knew that Lu Yunting's face was scarred and his legs were temporarily crippled. It would not be easy for him to come back and take control of the company.

"I know what you mean, I will get someone to arrange for my return as soon as possible!" Lu Yunting was recuperating abroad, but his legs did not improve at all.
