The banquet was held on the top floor of this fifty-fourth-story hotel.
The walls around the top floor are all glass, offering a panoramic view of all the surrounding scenery.
At this time, various people were walking around in the decorated hall. Song Jing scanned around and found that most of the people were young people and there were very few elderly people.
Song Jing followed, not knowing what the theme of the banquet was.
"Chengxuan, you are finally here."
"That's right, Chengxuan, you are the protagonist today, everyone is waiting for you."
Two men, one tall and one short, stepped forward and said in a somewhat showy tone: "Look at the banquet my brothers organized for you. Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you for your trouble." Huo Chengxuan smiled. He did not deliberately become familiar with him, nor did he act distant and polite. He was just the right amount of closeness.
"We don't need to talk about this between buddies." The short man spoke. He raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat Huo Chengxuan's shoulder, but he only raised his arm briefly and thought of something before putting it down, and said with a smile: "
You came back this time quietly without notifying us. If I hadn't accidentally heard the news about your return, I wouldn't even know you were back now."
"By organizing such a round today, we also let everyone know that you are back and have the right to speak."
"Hey, speaking of it, when you left, we were going to help you, but we..."
"I know." Huo Chengxuan interrupted the short man's sigh, "We grew up together in childhood, so I naturally understand you."
"It's something that has passed long ago. Is it possible that you are still brooding about it?"
The short man and the tall man looked at each other and smiled, "We haven't been able to find a chance to explain to you before, because we were afraid that you would misunderstand us. Now that you are back, the three of us will be the same as before."
"That's natural." Huo Chengxuan smiled and nodded, "If you hadn't organized this round today, I wouldn't have come."
"It's enough to give you face, come on, come on, come on stage and say a few words." The tall man and the short man invited Huo Chengxuan to the left and right to go to a specially set up stage in the hall.
Song Jing and Nina walked behind, standing beside the stage, and did not follow them onto the stage.
Nina said softly: "When my husband was exiled by the Huo family, no one saw him off."
"My husband didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts when he came back this time. These people had known for a long time that he was back. But before, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb. They just wanted to see if he could fight against everyone in the Huo family."
"Now that Mr. Huo is acting as the head of the Huo family, these people come out to build relationships."
Nina frowned, "What a disgusting group of people."
Song Jing said nothing, standing by the stage and watching Huo Chengxuan bring a glass of champagne, chatting with a smile on the stage, clinking glasses with the tall and short people on the stage, and toasting to the people in the audience from a distance, dealing with it calmly.
Suddenly, I thought of what happened when the relationship between the two of them had not reached this point.
Huo Chengxuan was ten years older than her. When they met, Huo Chengxuan was only in his early twenties, but he was already very organized.
Whether he is dealing with people or dealing with things, he is gentle when he should be gentle and ruthless when he should be ruthless. It seems that nothing can ever faze him.
There was a time when Song Jing even thought that Huo Chengxuan was invincible.
Until one time, when Song Jing came back injured from a mission, it was the first time she saw Huo Chengxuan cross the threshold, and she almost tripped, and the height of the threshold was less than three centimeters.
Song Jing still remembers what Huo Chengxuan said when he was treating her wounds.
He said that they were the same kind of people, they were all groping forward alone in the dark night, not knowing whether the road ahead was a road or a cliff. They had to take that step in the dark and see if their feet could hit the ground.
If you step on the ground, you will continue to take the next step. If you step on the cliff, you will fall to pieces.
At that time, Huo Chengxuan finished treating her wounds and said after a long time: "Jing, from now on I can light a lamp for you when you take that step, and I can also hold you up when you step off the cliff."
Song Jing also remembered what she said back then: "I can do it too."
That was the first time she saw stars in Huo Chengxuan's eyes.
If nothing happened later, at least they are still partners now.
"Huo Chengxuan, what do you think is so great about you?" Someone in the audience suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, and Song Jing looked at the speaker.
This man looked to be about the same age as Huo Chengxuan. He was holding a tall glass in his hand. The glass was empty. His face was red, his eyes seemed a little wandering, and he looked a little drunk.
Huo Chengxuan held the wine glass and looked at the man who spoke with a smile, "I'm really nothing special."
"That's right." The person who spoke seemed to feel that he didn't have enough momentum when standing far away, so he pushed past the people next to him and approached the stage.
He pointed at Huo Chengxuan, "You are an illegitimate child who was abandoned by the Huo family. They drove you to the outside world. You should stay outside peacefully, but you actually have the nerve to come back to murder your brother and steal the Huo family's hand."
The right of the family.”
"Why is it that the head of the Huo family is seriously ill and you are the only one who can take charge of the family? There is no one left in the Huo family? How can it be the turn of an illegitimate son like you to take over?"
"I also raised this issue with my eldest brother, but he didn't listen, which really gave me a headache." Huo Chengxuan was still good-tempered, and even the expression on his face did not change at all.
The sarcastic man seemed unable to anger him, and instead pointed the finger at Song Jing and Nina.
"A grown man takes two women with him at all times when traveling, and they wear clothes like this." The man said and suddenly let out a lewd laugh, "I think they are not your maids, but are there to help you solve your needs at any time.
Bar?"
"Fan Fei, why are you acting crazy when you're drunk!" The short man saw that the other person was getting more and more outrageous and quickly stepped down to stop him.
"What I said is right." Fan Fei became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, looking at Song Jing and Nina constantly, and even smacked his mouth twice in a sly manner, "Huo Chengxuan, I see you are like this
Both maids are beautiful and have good figures, especially the one with long straight black hair and really straight and white legs."
"You must have played it many times anyway, why not play it for me too?"
"Do you want to play?" Huo Chengxuan still had a smile on his face, and as he asked, he walked slowly to the edge of the stage, stepped off the stage with long legs, and walked towards Fan Fei.
Seeing that Huo Chengxuan still had a smile on his face, Fan Fei thought he was an illegitimate child and did not dare to get angry with him. He became more and more proud and energetic, "Yes. Those legs, if they are wrapped around my waist, they will definitely..."
Bang!
The goblet in Huo Chengxuan's hand hit Fan Fei's head. He raised his hand to pinch a piece of glass shard. Almost no one could see his movements clearly. The glass shard had already scratched Fan Fei's throat, and blood spurted out instantly.
When it came out, a few drops even splashed onto his cheeks.
Fan Fei's entire expression was stunned. From the moment Huo Chengxuan raised his hand and hit him with a cup, until the glass shards cut his throat and killed his life, he didn't react at all.
Fan Fei's body fell to the ground with a bang.
Huo Chengxuan threw the glass fragments to the ground casually, raised his eyes and glanced at the stunned people around him, smiled faintly and said: "It's okay to say that I am not good at saying that she is not."
