Young Master Huo shifted his gaze from An Ge to Mr. Xu, whose forehead was covered with blood after being hit by him.
With a tone that was neither amused nor angry, he asked, "Tell , what did she do to offend you that made you want to beat her to death with a bottle?"
The Xu Family had only entered the circle of wealthy families in the past couple of years and really had no strong foundation.
Although Mr. Xu didn’t know why Young Master Huo was standing up for An Ge, at this mont he didn’t dare to say anything bad about her.
"I’m sorry, Young Master Huo, I was just joking with Ms. An Ge earlier, I truly didn’t an to upset her. It’s all my fault, I beg your pardon and rcy..."
Young Master Huo slowly unbuttoned his suit.
After taking off his suit, he tossed it over An Ge’s face, covering her view.
The fresh, pleasant sll of a man’s attire filled her nose, while the sound of Mr. Xu’s miserable cries echoed in her ears as Young Master Huo punched him.
At that mont, An Ge felt a sense of being protected that made her heart warm.
She removed the suit from her face and held it in her arms. When she looked up, she saw Mr. Xu lying motionless on the ground.
The man who had finished beating Mr. Xu glanced at her before signaling with a beckoning gesture, "Co here."
His tone was as if he was calling a little puppy.
An Ge, sowhat moved, obediently walked up to him.
She lifted her delicate chin toward him, her expressive eyes sparkling, "Why did you help ?"
Young Master Huo didn’t answer her. Instead, he took the suit from her hands.
After he shook out the suit and wrapped it around her shoulders, he placed a hand on her shoulder from behind and addressed the guests, who looked visibly frightened.
"Ladies and gentlen, let formally introduce you—she is An Ge, my grandmother’s newly recognized god-granddaughter, and a mber of the Huo Family. As the saying goes, ’Even when beating a dog, one must look at its owner.’"
He paused for a second, the smile on his face disappeared, revealing only a cold and nacing expression.
"And before hitting soone from my family, you’d better consider how many heads you have."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Wu Manman, who was so scared her legs were going weak, and he mocked,
"Ms. Wu, do you really want to end up laid out like your father, Wu Zhigang, unable to get out of bed?"
As soon as he said that, Wu Manman’s knees buckled, and she fell to the ground, crying and begging for rcy, "Young Master Huo, I’m...I’m so sorry..."
"Don’t apologize to , apologize to her."
The ’her’ he referred to was, of course, An Ge.
Despite her heart protesting with a thousand refusals, Wu Manman still forced herself to crawl to An Ge and plead,
"An Ge, I’m sorry, it was all my fault. I had no right to insult you. Please forgive ..."
An Ge ignored her and instead focused her gaze on An Baoying, whose face had turned quite pale.
Under the intensity of her gaze, An Baoying faltered and hurried to Young Master Huo.
"Young Master Huo, I’m sorry. I failed to protect my little sister. If you are going to bla soone, bla ."
Young Master Huo glanced at her, his tone dismissive and indifferent,
"What did you do wrong? Why should I bla you? If anyone’s to bla, it’s your shaless sister." He paused, "And too ungrateful."
At these words, An Baoying finally exhaled with relief.
It turns out, Young Master Huo was only protecting An Ge to preserve the Huo Family’s reputation and face.
In his mind, An Ge was still just a shaless lowlife.
With this realization, An Baoying obediently stood beside Young Master Huo, looking at him with admiration, and said,
"My sister is now, however much, half a mber of the Huo Family. To save any future embarrassnt, why not send her ho first?"
Young Master Huo gave a cold acknowledgnt and fixed his gaze on An Ge, whose face had gone pale.
"Listen, if it weren’t for maintaining the Huo Family’s face, I wouldn’t care even if you were stripped bare and paraded. You’d better behave yourself."
After leaving her with those words, Qin Lang approached An Ge and said, "Ms. An Ge, let take you ho."
As he spoke, Xiao Ye, who had been watching the drama unfold, stepped out from the crowd, "She’s my date. I’ll take her."
While speaking, Xiao Ye walked up to An Ge.
Before he could say anything, An Ge spoke first, addressing the elder beside Xiao Ye,
"I’m sorry, but I’m not Mr. Xiao’s date or girlfriend. I only worked at his internet café. Mr. Xiao just wanted to use as a shield to avoid family blind dates. In truth, we’re not even close friends."
Xiao Ye hadn’t expected her to say that.
He clenched his jaws and sneered, "You’re quite brave? Aren’t you afraid of offending ?"
An Ge t his gaze and calmly replied, "Of course, I’m afraid. But, I believe in Mr. Xiao’s character. You’re not a petty man."
After saying this, she turned to Qin Lang, "Let’s go."
Before leaving with Qin Lang, An Ge handed the suit jacket back to Young Master Huo,
"Young Master Huo, regardless of your reasons for standing up for , I’m truly grateful." She paused, "Thank you."
