Ling Sheng smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Older Sister.”
The sisterhood was deep, and they seemed very harmonious on the surface.
Xiao Hui’s face was also full of smugness. She did not even look Ling Sheng in the eye. Humph, so what if the old master doted on this little b*stard Ling Sheng? She was still inferior to Feifei.
No, she could not compare to Feifei even by a long mile. Feifei’s future husband was a prince, but what about her? Not only was she an illegitimate daughter, but she was also raising an unknown little b*stard child. Who knew where he had come from?
The women at the scene were used to observing others’ expressions. Everyone had their own plans and schemes in their minds as to which side to stand on or which side to lean toward.
There was definitely no one on Ling Sheng’s side. Xiao Hui and Cao Yunxian had secretly spread rumors that the Old Master cared and doted on her so much that he treated her like the apple of his eye. He definitely had the intention to share his assets with her.
The assets were like a huge, delicious cake in the Huo Family. Everyone was eyeing it covetously, waiting to get their share. The more people there were, the less they would get.
At a time like this, whoever dared to touch their interests would be their common enemy. Besides, Huo Ci had already said early on that he would not take the Huo Family’s assets.
However, what he was doing now was obviously planning to join in the war for the assets. And Ling Sheng was the person he had let in to share the cake, so she was naturally a thorn in their side.
Huo Xuanzhou opened the gift on the spot. It was a man’s wristwatch, a brand he did not recognize. He could tell at a glance that the quality was not good. It was too inferior. He gestured symbolically on his wrist and smiled, “Feifei, thanks!”
Huo Feifei looked very calm on the surface, but she was already overjoyed in her heart. The items she had brought were all top-notch in the world. She hurriedly boasted. “Brother Zhou, this watch was personally made by a watch craftsman used by the royal family. It’s the only one in the world. It’s good that you like it.”
Huo Xuanzhou was a collector. He could tell what was good and valuable at a glance. However, he could not be bothered to expose her. He nodded casually. “I like it. Yes, I like it.”
Although Ling Sheng was not an expert, she had seen many good things. She could tell at a glance whether they were good or bad. Compared to her father’s wristwatches, the quality was too poor.
Huo Xuanzhou put the items away immediately. He took a look at Prince Edward by the side and thought to himself, what kind of bullsh*t prince is this? Who knows where he got this stupid watch from? Is he crazy to come to our Huo Family to fool people?!
Upon seeing that everyone liked her gifts, Huo Feifei became even more proud. When she spoke, she became even more confident. Now, they knew how good she was. It was said that the Old Master had gone to bed early because he was unwell. She really should let him come out and broaden his horizons.
It was already quite late, and they had not chatted for long before Huo Ci could not take it anymore. He could not be bothered to deal with them anymore. When he walked past Ling Sheng, he called out to her. “Hurry up and go to bed. We still have to pick people up at the airport early in the morning.”
Huo Feifei smiled and asked, “Sixth Uncle, who are you fetching?”
Huo Ci gave her a sideways look. “You want to interfere in my business?”
Huo Feifei had always known that Huo Ci did not like her. Her face flushed red from his retort, and she felt embarrassed and angry. “Sixth Uncle, you’re jesting. I don’t dare.”
He actually did not give her face! What was so impressive about him? He was just a foul actor in the entertainment circle while she was the princess consort now!
