Lu Chengwen did not understand why Huo Wenbei had appeared here.
He instinctively looked at Liao Yongnan. Had he invited him?
But he found that Liao Yongnan looked just as baffled.
Shaking Huo Wenbei's hand, Lu Chengwen smiled. "Young Master Huo, did you come looking for Brother Yongnan this time, or for me?"
"For you."
Huo Wenbei was smiling as well, but both their smiles carried sharp edges and threats.
Lu Chengwen remained neither servile nor overbearing, while Huo Wenbei's gaze grew increasingly arrogant.
"What advice do you have for me, Young Master Huo?"
"I wouldn't dare offer advice. I came to announce something."
"Oh?"
"The farce between you and my sister should end."
Everyone looked tensely at Lu Chengwen.
This was bad. Someone from the Huo Family had come knocking. Lu Chengwen was finished!
Lu Chengwen smiled. "My sister and I have had plenty of little dramas. Which one do you mean? The one in the bedroom, or the one in the pool?"
Huo Wenbei was shocked that Lu Chengwen actually dared to talk back.
"Lu Chengwen, well, here's the thing..."
Huo Wenbei said, "I'll try to maintain my respect for you and avoid making you lose face in front of everyone. But you need to know your place. You need to behave. Yes, that whatever-the-hell project you stirred up in Northern Country did earn you a lot of praise. Because of the land reclamation harbor matter, the Huo Family does owe you a favor."
"But!" Huo Wenbei said, "We're the Huo Family. We're not someone a minor tycoon like you can aspire to marry into. Sorry, I speak rather bluntly. I think you're a smart man, and we can be frank with each other. No need to beat around the bush. You understand what I mean, right?"
