Hello, Mr. Huo

Among the three major families, only the heads of the Shen and Huo families are of the younger generation. No matter what, Shen Mingzhu is the only heir of the Shen family.

Now, Shen Mingzhu is the head of the Shen family, this is beyond doubt, so invisibly, Shen Mingzhu's status seems to be higher than Yang Songzhe.

While the two were talking, the people sitting in the back watched carefully and, of course, noticed Shen Mingzhu's distant attitude.

Both of them were originally heirs of the family, but now Shen Mingzhu has become the person with the highest status present. Although her attitude is distant, it is not to the extent of ignoring others, so even if people think her attitude is perfunctory, no one dares to say anything.

Didn't you see that even Yan Songzhe himself doesn't care?

Yan Songzhe's smile remained unchanged, and he asked in a gentle tone, "Miss Shen, do you like anything?"

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly and understood the hidden meaning in his words. Was he trying to avoid her preferences or not compete with her for the things she liked?

Shen Mingzhu lowered her eyes and frowned in silence for a few seconds, then looked up at Yan Songzhe and asked, "I think the land on the outskirts of the city is okay. What do you think?"

That's what you asked, not what she wanted to say.

Shen Mingzhu remembered that in the book, the reason why Shen Mingzhu paid a high price to buy the land was because someone was competing with her.

The only family that can compete with the Shen family is on the same level as the Shen family.

This is possible for both the Yan family and the Huo family.

However, considering the existence of Huo Yancheng, Shen Mingzhu felt that the Huo family would not compete with the original body, so only the Yan family was left.

Shen Mingzhu was looking at Yan Songzhe's expression when she spoke, so she saw the changing look in Yan Songzhe's eyes the moment she mentioned the land in the suburbs.

There were surprise and hesitation, but I never gave up.

Shen Mingzhu slowly raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, as if she didn't understand what Yan Songzhe had just said: "I was joking. Young Master Yan should be too, right?"

Yan Songzhe hesitated for a few seconds, and before he could say anything, someone sat down on his right.

Shen Mingzhu turned her head and saw Huo Yancheng in a black suit. In the brightly lit auction hall, the lights shone on his angular and handsome face. Even though there was no expression on his face at the moment, his temperament was cold and made him seem unapproachable. However, people could still see him at a glance and remember him forever.

Shen Mingzhu has very good eyesight. Due to the angle, she saw a small mole behind Huo Yancheng's left ear, a very small one.

Huo Yancheng's hair is not long, with a few strands of hair hanging down from his forehead. His eyes are very firm and deep, carrying a sense of oppressive pressure. As long as you look into his eyes, you seem to have the illusion of being seen through.

At this moment, the owner of the pair of black eyes was looking in her direction. Shen Mingzhu was stunned and then slowly smiled. She waved her hand and said crisply: "Hello, Mr. Huo!"

Huo Yancheng nodded slightly and said, "What were you talking about just now?"

Shen Mingzhu didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this, so she told Huo Yancheng the brief conversation she had just had with Yan Songzhe.

Yan Songzhe, who was sitting on the left, had no idea what he was thinking, but he still had a smile on his face and looked at Huo Yancheng calmly, as if he was not the one who wanted to make a promise just now.

Huo Yancheng glanced at Shen Mingzhu and said in a deep voice, "You have a good eye."

Look, people are different. When Yan Songzhe heard Shen Mingzhu's words, he only thought about competition and didn't even reveal that he also liked this piece of land.

Instead, Huo Yancheng admitted it openly and even commented on Shen Mingzhu's vision.

A good man should be like Huo Yancheng, who is broad-minded and able to distinguish right from wrong. Such a man is liked everywhere.

It is no wonder that Huo Yancheng was able to defeat those brothers of the Huo family and become the head of the Huo family.

There is a reason why he can win.

Just a bit of bad luck...

Shen Mingzhu thought.

Shen Mingzhu noticed that Huo Yancheng was followed by an old man who was about the same age as Butler Wu. She immediately thought that he was the butler of the Huo family in the book.

This housekeeper Chen has served three generations of the Huo family's patriarch and has been in the Huo family since the generation of Huo Yancheng's grandfather.

As the old man who watched Huo Yancheng grow up in the Huo family, Huo Yancheng also has feelings for this butler. His feelings for him are even deeper than those with the several brothers of the Huo family.

As soon as Old Chen came over, he kept looking at Shen Mingzhu. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled and nodded at her as a greeting.

Shen Mingzhu also smiled back.

This is also the person who can provide help to Shen. Basically, all the orders given by Huo Yancheng are done by Butler Chen, so Butler Chen must know that Huo Yancheng is helping Shen behind the scenes.

With this calculation, everyone is in the same boat. Of course, she has to maintain good relations with others and cannot let others think she is impolite. If she is a little lax when helping Shen, wouldn't that cause trouble for her?

Therefore, Shen Mingzhu would have some favor towards anyone who was close to Huo Yancheng and helped the Shen family.

Such a comparison shows that Shen Mingzhu is too distant towards Yan Songzhe. Shen Mingzhu treats the steward of the Huo family much more warmly than she treats him.

Yan Songzhe is not a fool; of course, he noticed these differences. If there were no comparison with Huo Yancheng and Lao Chen, he would not think there was anything wrong, but as soon as they came, the difference in Shen Mingzhu's attitude was immediately apparent.

The smile on Yan Songzhe's face remained unchanged, but he had turned around and sat upright. He had been slightly sideways when talking to Shen Mingzhu, but now he was facing the platform above.

Shen Mingzhu caught a glimpse of his actions from the corner of her eye and felt that this man was a little stingy. Not only was he narrow-minded, but he also liked to make promises that he couldn't fulfill.

If you have this ability, it's fine. If you don't have this ability, don't make promises to others casually. Otherwise, when you can't fulfill your promise, you don't know who will be the one who feels embarrassed and ashamed.

In short, Yan Songzhe was not pleasing to Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu had always been clear about what she loved and hated. She wanted the ones she loved to live and the ones she hated to die.

Although I don't hate Yan Songzhe to the extent of that, I always feel like something is missing.

Shen Mingzhu never does anything that would put herself in a difficult position. Since she doesn't like this person, she certainly won't put herself in a difficult position to please him/her.

But the treatment towards Huo Yancheng is different. Whether in the book or in reality, Shen Mingzhu admires Huo Yancheng.

From the fact that he was able to seize the position of head of the family from among his brothers, and was able to help the Shen family secretly out of gratitude, but did not say it out loud to gain a good reputation, it can be seen that he is a low-key and introverted person. He only does what he thinks is right, but never expects to gain any gratitude from those who help.

Such a person is not a bad person at heart. Shen Mingzhu is certainly willing to contact such a person, especially when this person is the golden thigh she wants to hold on to.

Of course, the attitude is completely different from the way he treats Yan Songzhe.

To Yan Songzhe, it was a polite business smile, but to Huo Yancheng, it was a genuine and happy smile.
