She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Even Huo Xiao's face turned cold.

He thought Qu Ao had already left, but he never expected Qu Ao to appear at the auction.

"I really liked this jade coral, so I had your godfather buy it for me. But I really didn't expect Miss Shao to want it too. I should have known better than to have your godfather do this."

Lan Yan, arm in arm with Qu Ao, walked up to Huo Xiao and Shao Yan, a smug look on her face.

She finally saw how terrible Shao Yan's face looked.

This woman had always acted calm and composed, but it turned out she was just pretending.

Lan Yan looked at Huo Xiao: "Ah Xiao, she's more serious about Yu Shanhu than she is about you. Be careful, don't fall in love with the wrong person."

Qu Ao's gaze remained fixed on Shao Yan's face until Huo Xiao spoke softly.

"Let's go."

Shao Yan didn't move; she withdrew her anger and smiled calmly.

"The auction has only just started. If we can't buy the jade coral, we can buy something else. Ah Xiao, you'll buy it for me, right?"

She imitated Lan Yan's voice, even softer and more seductive than Lan Yan.

Shao Yan was born with a natural beauty, and even when she was angry, she was charming to the core, let alone when she actually used her seductive arts.

Huo Xiaoming knew she was faking it, but when she cast a seductive glance at him with her bewitching eyes, he was still completely captivated.

"If you like it, buy it."

Lan Yan's fair face gradually turned ashen, but Qu Ao seemed quite pleased.

"Alright, Godfather won't fight you for the next one."

Qu Ao led Lan Yan and a group of subordinates to his upstairs location.

Shao Yan knew that the place was reserved for top dignitaries and was reserved for state-level foreign dignitaries.

She was somewhat taken aback; just who was Huo Xiao's godfather?

Shao Yan stayed only to spite Lan Yan, and she had no interest in any of the remaining auction items.

Of course, Huo Xiao didn't hold up the sign again.

Not only the two of them, but also Zeng Qier and Cheng Yuxin, as well as Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong, showed little interest in the items to be auctioned later.

Shao Yan even had a feeling that they were all after Yu Shanhu.

The auction ended, and Pei Rongrong was throwing a tantrum.

"Every time I want to buy something for my mom, Shao Yan steals it from me."

While comforting her, Meng Yu subtly spoke up for Shao Yan.

"This time it was bought by your uncle or godfather."

Pei Rongrong snorted: "Didn't you hear Sister Lan Yan say that it was bought for her by Uncle's godfather? She must know that Uncle wanted to buy the jade coral to please that bitch, so she deliberately snatched it from her."

"If it weren't for Shao Yan, my uncle wouldn't have tried to take her from us. That woman is so annoying."

Meng Yu fell silent.

He had ulterior motives for wanting to bid on this jade coral.

The cripple kept hiding and refused to meet him. He wanted to take a picture of the jade coral to lure the cripple out to meet him.

Now, everything has gone wrong.

After Pei Rongrong finished complaining, she was suddenly bumped from behind.

Fortunately, Meng Yu caught her in time.

"Hey, can't you watch where you're going?"

After Pei Rongrong finished scolding, the woman in front of her turned around leisurely, her beautiful eyes shining as she looked at Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong.

"Miss Pei, I'm so sorry I didn't see you."

Zeng Qier held Cheng Yuxin's hand, her eyes revealing undisguised arrogance.

Pei Rongrong got angry as soon as she saw her.

She understood Shao Yan's hint last time and forced Meng Yu to reveal Zeng Qier's background.

She was furious and slapped Zeng Qier across the face.

Meng Yu was stunned. He wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare.

Zeng Qi'er hadn't expected Pei Rongrong to be so fierce, and she covered her face with anger.

"Are you blind? You hit someone and didn't even apologize. Are you blind or mute?"

Cheng Yuxin was also shocked, shielding Zeng Qier behind her and glaring at Meng Yu.

"Mr. Meng, is this your girlfriend? Doesn't she have any manners at all?"

Meng Yu is torn between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend.

Pei Rongrong sneered, "I'm ill-mannered, but the one who hit me is well-mannered. You're born of a mother but not raised by one. You should be more discerning in the future."

Pei Rongrong, who had a spoiled princess temperament, didn't take Zeng Qier seriously at all.

I heard that Zeng Qier was fostered since she was a child and doesn't even know who her biological mother is.

Pei Rongrong's words hit a nerve, and Cheng Yuxin was furious.

"A young girl like you speaks with such foul language. I think your mother didn't teach you properly. Why don't I teach you instead?"

Cheng Yuxin stood up for Zeng Qier and raised her hand to hit Pei Rongrong.

However, her hand was grabbed before it was even halfway up in the air.

Huo Xiao stood in front of Cheng Yuxin, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

"My sister's daughter doesn't need anyone else to teach her."

As soon as he let go, Cheng Yuxin almost fell, but Zeng Qier quickly caught her.

"Mrs. Song, are you alright?"

Shao Yan stood next to Huo Xiao, looking at Cheng Yuxin with a sarcastic smile.

"Mrs. Song? My mother is Mrs. Song. How dare a caregiver or servant let someone call her Mrs. Song?"

Zeng Qier and Cheng Yuxin's expressions changed simultaneously, especially Cheng Yuxin, who was most sensitive to others mentioning her past work ever since she started dating Song Qingyan.

"you--"

Cheng Yuxin finally managed to stand up, and looked at Shao Yan with uncontrollable rage.

"Your mother is no Mrs. Song. You're nothing but a worthless bastard born of Shao Yuerou. You really think you're your father's biological daughter? You're nothing but a bastard—"

Shao Yan could tolerate Cheng Yuxin insulting her, but she could not tolerate her insulting her mother.

She raised her hand and slapped Cheng Yuxin hard across the face.

The way he looked at Cheng Yuxin was with an air of superiority.

This slap was on behalf of my mother.

"Shao Yan, you dare hit me? Aren't you afraid of your father—"

Shao Yan said coldly, "You just said Song Qingyan isn't my father?"

Cheng Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and only then did she realize how big a mess she had made.

Zeng Qier also came over to protect Cheng Yuxin, stammering.

"You misheard me, Mrs. Song didn't say that."

Shao Yan's eyes grew increasingly cold.

"Cheng Yuxin, don't you know who you are? You're not even worthy to carry my mother's shoes, how dare you speak ill of her?"

Cheng Yuxin's eyes turned to intense hatred, but she dared not act rashly because she saw Huo Xiao standing steadily behind Shao Yan.

"Let's go."

Cheng Yuxin whispered to Zeng Qier, "A gentleman takes revenge even after three years. Shao Yan means nothing to her."

What's the point of reminiscing about the past while clinging to a dead person? Even if she finds Huo Xiao as her backer, it's only temporary. When Huo Xiao gets tired of her, Cheng Yuxin thinks she'll naturally let Song Qingyan deal with Shao Yan.

Cheng Yuxin and Zeng Qier left somewhat disheveled. Pei Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, but her mood soured again when she saw Shao Yan.

Meng Yu, who was standing to the side, was still in shock.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing: Cheng Yuxin said that this Shao Yan was Song Qingyan's daughter.

That cripple is also Song Qingyan's daughter.

Only Meng Yu himself knows what this means.

While Pei Rongrong was picking a fight with Shao Yan, he randomly grabbed someone and borrowed their phone.

Not far from Shao Yan, Meng Yu dialed the phone number of the cripple from his memory.

He clearly saw the woman next to Huo Xiao bring the phone to her ear and softly say, "Feed—".
