Chapter 569: You Can’t Afford To Offend The Huo Family

Lin Shuwen watched as Fang Chen remained quiet without even responding to Min Yu. He was behaving like a student listening to his teacher. He could not help pressing his forehead and felt anxious.

Lin Shuwen wanted to kick him.

Min Yu had already offered to make small talk with Fang Chen. Why was he not taking the opportunity to say more? Why was he behaving awkwardly?

Lin Shuwen pretended not to notice the look in Fang Chen’s eyes. Since he could not count on Fang Chen to make small talk with Min Yu, he had to help ease the awkwardness and chatted with Min Yu a little.

He Xiaoman wanted to talk to Lin Shuwen and was walking over when she suddenly halted in her steps.

She had suddenly caught sight of Lin Shuwen going up to the man from the countryside. The three of them seemed acquainted and Lin Shuwen’s attitude towards him looked a little strange.

He seemed to treat him with reverence.

He Xiaoman was puzzled. Why would Lin Shuwen be acquainted with a guy from the countryside? Also, Lin Shuwen was not from her hometown, right?

In her daze, another familiar silhouette suddenly appeared before her eyes unexpectedly.

Her foster daughter was surprisingly here too.

He Xiaoman opened her eyes wide as her foster daughter headed straight towards Lin Shuwen.

It seemed as though all of them were well-acquainted.

Something even more inconceivable took place as He Xiaoman stared at them.

Lin Shuwen, surprisingly, nodded to her foster daughter respectfully. His attitude towards Huo Yao seemed no different from the reverent attitude he had shown for the man from her hometown.

This was incredible!

He Xiaoman clutched her purse tightly as she looked at her foster daughter. Huo Yao had the cool elegant aura of a plum blossom and looked incredibly dignified and proud. She seemed lofty when she stood before Lin Shuwen.

Had her foster daughter experienced a complete change after returning to the Huo family?

In her recollection, Huo Yao was always an introvert and seemed a little slow, so she often disgraced the Lu family.

This was the reason she disliked Huo Yao and had sent her to the countryside, asking her mother to raise her.

Although her foster daughter had changed so much that it left her feeling unfamiliar, she simply felt it was due to losing her status as a rich girl. However, now she was...

He Xiaoman could not help thinking about the Huo family. That family did not seem to be impoverished like she imagined.

She had asked a friend who was an investigator to check on the Huo family, but all he did was to warn her that she could not afford to offend the Huo family.

He Xiaoman was perplexed as to why her friend would say this. No matter how she probed, he refused to speak on the subject and even ended up blacklisting her.

Ever since then, she had an inkling that there was something unusual about the Huo family.

She kept making excuses to pick up her biological daughter at school so that she could observe her foster daughter and the Huo family.

She watched as Huo Yao chatted happily with Lin Shuwen and the others. Why would she know the secretary if her family was not well-connected?

After all, not everyone was capable of running in the same circles as Lin Shuwen.

The more He Xiaoman thought about it, the more she found it unfathomable. She attempted to convince herself in her heart that this was a pure coincidence. She wanted to cling onto the belief the Huos were an ordinary family and did not possess any powerful connections.

Lin Shuwen detected He Xiaoman’s presence since she was looking towards them so blatantly.
