When the eldest daughter of the Liu family was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up. In fact, there had long been rumors that the Liu family was able to suddenly prosper in Hong Kong City thanks to a mysterious rich man.

And this man is a man who has a close relationship with the Huo family. According to legend, his surname is Huo and his name is Huo Junlin, but no one knows the origin of this man.

Today at the Huo family's reception, everyone met the legendary man. Not only did he look so good, he also didn't care about Liu Xiangsi's physical condition.

"It's true or false, are you sure? That one is Liu Xiangsi who you like?"

"Is that still a lie? When I had afternoon tea with Liu Xiangyi before, she showed off this brother-in-law to me. I didn't take it to heart at first, but do you know that the latest cooperation with the Huo family was given to the Liu family? ah."

"I also heard this from my brother at home. The project was originally going to be open for bidding, but the Huo family directly gave it to the Liu family. You know, what kind of dignity does it mean to give such a big project directly to the Liu family?"

"Liu Xiangsi is so lucky, and I'm so envious. No wonder my mother always asks me to have a relationship with her. Alas, I don't like her sick look. Look at it now..."

"Keep your voice down. Everyone knows about Liu Xiangsi's condition, but no one dares to say anything about her. You are careless. If others hear it, you might offend."

The girl immediately covered her mouth. She was really afraid of offending the most influential socialite in Hong Kong. After all, no one wanted to be the enemy of the Huo family.

Liu Xiangsi directly promoted the Liu family with her own strength. This... well, it was a great thing that fell from the sky.

"That's not right. Look, Huo Junlin has brought a female companion. Who is that woman? Do you know her?"

Several ladies looked over and saw Gu Yan walking up to Huo Junlin with a few small cakes on a plate.

"I haven't seen him before, and he doesn't seem to be from Hong Kong City. This is not surprising. Liu Xiangsi is not in good health. You can't let a man of his status come alone on such an occasion."

"But bringing other female companions would be too disrespectful to Liu Xiangsi, right?"

"Look at your situation, can she control Liu Xiangsi's situation? Besides, it's just a joke. A smart woman won't take it seriously."

These words made several celebrities nod in agreement. Even the fathers of their families did this kind of thing. Some of the social methods in the upper class were tacitly understood by everyone.

It's just that a few celebrities looked at Gu Yan with a bit of disdain.

Huo Junlin watched Gu Yan happily eating the cake, and a soft warmth flashed in his eyes.

"Is it tasty?"

“Not as good as eating at the resort, but not bad.”

Gu Yan looked like someone who had just recovered from stomach cramps.She likes desserts, so when she arrived at the reception, she really didn't think of herself as an outsider and had a great time eating.

Of course, what's even happier is that Huo Junlin solved a dangerous little dilemma. Well, there's nothing wrong with enjoying the moment first and leaving those troublesome things behind for the time being.

"Mr. Huo, long time no see. The last time we met for cooperation was a year ago. Do you still remember me?"

A middle-aged man came over with a smile and took the initiative to say hello, holding a wine glass.

During the entire cocktail party, Huo Junlin only stayed by Gu Yan's side and did not take the initiative to talk to anyone.

But the real big guys in Hong Kong City are all eyeing Huo Junlin. They all know that he is closely connected with the Huo family, so they naturally want to please him.

Especially after everyone knew that he gave the Liu family resources.

Gu Yan ate the cake and whispered, "You go and socialize, I'll eat it secretly."

Huo Junlin's amber eyes narrowed slightly behind his gold-rimmed glasses. Was she planning to leave herself behind and enjoy the delicious food?
Does this mean you dislike him for being in the way?
But looking at those big black and white eyes with a smile, there was no way to say a word of rejection.

"Yes." Gu Yan held the plate, nodded to the middle-aged man who came to say hello, and then turned to the cold food area on the other side.

On this occasion, she only focused on participating, but as soon as she was alone, she was targeted.

"You look very unfamiliar. Which family are you the daughter of?"

There was still a little cream on the corner of Gu Yan's mouth. When he looked up, he saw a famous lady wearing a black dress and her hair combed meticulously walking over. Her chin was raised and she spoke in the local dialect of the Hong Kong City.

"Sorry, I don't speak your dialect."

The other person raised his eyebrows and immediately switched to less fluent Mandarin.

"It turns out you are not from Hong Kong City. Sorry, I thought you were Mr. Huo's... It seems I misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding? Misunderstanding about the relationship between me and him? Is this important to you?"

Of course, Gu Yan could see the other party's intentions, and he didn't originally want to talk to him, but...these ladies and daughters of Hong Kong City were quite interesting, so it would be good to kill some boring time.

"Of course. After all, we all heard that Mr. Huo and Miss Liu are a couple. He brought his female companion to the reception. We..."

I didn't say anything else, but the way he looked up and down made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Yan smiled, thinking that the other party was really interesting.

Logically speaking, this matter is none of their business, so they have such a sense of justice?Obviously not, that's just using this reputation to embarrass yourself.

"Oh, I really don't know what you are talking about. So I don't care why you are so curious."

Several ladies were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Gu Yan to be so calm.

"You are not from Hong Kong City. Your accent should be from Shangjing. What a coincidence. I also have some friends in Shangjing. Tell me and let's find out whose famous lady it is?"

"Miss, are you from the Huo family?"

Gu Yan raised his eyes, faced the person who was checking the household registration, and asked slowly.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"I thought you were the master with your attitude. Even if you are from the Huo family, you shouldn't ask me this, right?"

The other party frowned and didn't expect that Gu Yan would have such a personality that he couldn't bear to suffer. However, when he thought about it, the woman in Shangjing naturally didn't know how to be tactful.

"We are just asking casually. You are not so sensitive, unless your identity is somewhat shady."

Several ladies looked at each other and seemed to have determined that Gu Yan's background was not very public.

Thinking about it makes me crazy with jealousy. It wouldn't matter if she was a young lady like Liu Xiangsi, but Huo Junlin could bring such a person over. Isn't this an insult to people from a truly famous family like them?

If the unknown woman in front of me can be regarded as a female companion, then why can't they...?
Gu Yan pursed her lips. She originally thought that attending a cocktail party would give Mr. Huo some face, but she never expected that stupid people can be found everywhere regardless of region.

He uses his power to bully others and wants to use his family background to show his sense of superiority.

"I don't know what the rules are in your port city. We can see people if we have ID cards in Beijing. Or do you mean you don't have one?"
