Chapter 870: Chapter 871: At the Birthday Banquet (Part 10)
Her gaze drifted away from Li Yuan and fell on Old Lady Li. Huo Yishan had always been a person with a strong sense of self-respect, and after being repeatedly ’asked to leave’, where could she have wanted to stay even a mont longer?
She turned, left without a trace of reluctance.
But just as she turned, soone grabbed her hand.
She paused her steps, slightly turned her head, and saw that it was Li Yuan’s hand holding hers.
Staring at that hand for at least five seconds, Huo Yishan eventually pulled away, turned around, and looked at both him and Ruan Qiuting, "I wish you two, a long life together!"
Having said that, she lifted her gaze to see Qin Sijue standing behind them, so she walked over.
"Godbrother, you’re supposed to et Qiangwei tonight, right? Rember to take
with you before you leave." Knowing that he had to continue attending the birthday party, Huo Yishan turned around and left after saying this.
Qin Sijue just stared at her, speechless.
Then, he looked at the hand entwined with Li Yuan’s arm, as if realizing that today’s events were all Ruan Qiuting’s doing.
Watching the figure vanish at the elevator entrance, Li Yuan stood there in a daze, unable to retract his gaze for a long ti.
As for Huo Yishan’s ’godbrother’ remark, both Ruan Qiuting and Old Lady Li sneered at it.
Truly, she’s from the entertainnt industry, all of them behave this way, upon seeing wealthy businessn, they either call them godfathers or godbrothers, rely covering up their true intentions for backstage deals.
And the reason Huo Yishan called Qin Sijue ’godbrother’ was that she felt in this foreign country, besides Qin Sijue, everyone seed to be excluding her.
And officially, Qin Sijue was indeed her godbrother, only because they had little chance to et, the term felt sowhat unfamiliar.

After this, the birthday banquet did not end well, the seven-tiered cake remained uncut, and Li Yuan had already left the venue.
Qin Sijue followed him out, ultimately only to see him drive away.
With his friend gone, there was no reason for him to stay either, he made nurous calls to Li Yuan, but none were answered.
So, he called Huo Yishan, planning to take her back to Jingcheng with him, to see his wife sooner!
If they were to return by flight, they’d have to wait until tomorrow morning, but with Qin Sijue’s private jet,it would be different, they could leave tonight.
Huo Yishan truly didn’t want to stay here, she just wanted to return to Jingcheng as soon as possible, to hide in her mother’s embrace and have a good cry—
No, why should she cry?
Walking aimlessly down the street, Huo Yishan hung her head, not knowing where she should go.
They’d be returning to Jingcheng at night, so there was no need to book a hotel.
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang, it was Qin Sijue calling.
"Where are you?"
"North Gate Street."
"Got a car?"
"No?"
"I’ll co to get you."
Listening to Qin Sijue’s low voice over the phone, although it sounded calm, in that mont it ward Huo Yishan’s heart like an elder brother.
She was an only child, her parents’ cherished darling.
Because she was ’hidden’ away carefully by her parents since childhood, apart from the two of them, no one else cared about her. Later, she had Gu Qiangwei, a good sister, so she felt her world beca richer and more colorful. Then she t Li Yuan, a man who made her feel as though she might be ill...
