Chapter 309: Wariness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Huo Feng looked at Huo Tian, what did the gloomy gaze that he occasionally revealed represent? Did he want to harm or scheme against Huo Tian? Or was it an even more terrifying desire that belonged to a man who wanted to keep a woman to himself?

Si Huan raised his wariness against Huo Feng. However, they were in the midst of a banquet, and in front of everyone, he couldn’t remind Huo Tian to stay away from her so-called brother, who had ulterior motives toward her.

He could only observe Huo Feng’s words and actions without leaving a trace, not even letting go of a subtle expression. He had to figure out what this guy wanted to do before he could make his subsequent plans.

Huo Feng did not realize that Si Huan was observing him unobtrusively. He was very smart and mature, good at grasping people’s hearts.

However, Si Huan was also one who was praised as a handsome and talented young man. Moreover, compared to Huo Feng, who had always been a good child to his parents and family, Si Huan had already taken over the Si Corporation, a colossus. He had gone through enough experiences and bumps, so he was naturally more capable of keeping his composure than Huo Feng.

Therefore, Huo Feng did not notice Si Huan’s obscure observation and sizing him up.

In fact, Huo Feng had been in an extremely excited state tonight.

On the one hand, it was because he could get close to Huo Tian. Even if he was only talking to her about some meaningless topics, Huo Feng could feel that his increasingly dark heart was gradually becoming calm and warm.

The other reason why he was excited was that the plan he had planned for a long time had finally begun. He was about to take the first step in grasping power.

…

Xi Cheng was originally in a very good mood tonight, but midway into the banquet, his high spirits still fell a little.

To all the guests, there was nothing to criticize about this grand banquet, but to Xi Cheng, this was definitely not a perfect banquet.

Xi Cheng was a little depressed after his dear daughter suddenly spoke up and spoiled his plan to scare the Huo couple. He then wanted to bring Ding Rong to meet some people from the Hill Family. They were all from the branch families in the United States and were not close to each other by blood. Fortunately, these branch families were sensible and were usually obedient too. Therefore, Xi Cheng did not mind giving them some face.

Ding Rong followed Xi Cheng and greeted a few members of the Hill Family’s branch families gracefully.

The people who came to attend the banquet from afar were mostly young profligates from various families.

For example, William Hill, who had black hair and green eyes. He was the youngest son in the family and didn’t have any pressure since he was young. He only liked to eat, drink, and play. Fortunately, he had a certain moral bottom line. Although he didn’t strive for progress, he hadn’t caused any trouble for the family either. This was why his parents dared to let him attend the birthday banquet the family head had specially organized for his daughter.

Every time William saw Xi Cheng, he would act like a mouse that had seen a cat. However, this time, William acutely noticed that the family head’s expression was unprecedentedly gentle.

He had a carefree personality. When he noticed Xi Cheng’s rare good mood, William became a little unrestrained.

After introducing himself to Ding Rong, he started talking non-stop to Ding Rong, his words sounding as if they were free. “It’s really unbelievable. Madam, you and the family head had already gotten together 20 years ago, but you look like you’re only in your twenties. Your looks, figure, and disposition are all so perfect. To be honest, if I met you at another event, I would definitely hit on you…”

As William spoke, he went a little unrestrained. He suddenly felt the air around him drop a few degrees. He turned around and realized that Xi Cheng, who had been wearing a gentle expression, was now looking at him with an unfriendly gaze.

William subconsciously shuddered and his mind raced. He immediately said, “…Of course, Madam, you definitely won’t like me, a profligate son with a mediocre mind and no ambitions. Only a wise and powerful man like the family head is compatible with you. It’s just like what the Chinese saying says, the two of you are really a match made in heaven!”

Ding Rong seemed to be amused by this interesting young man. She chuckled and said gently, “You don’t have to belittle yourself. At least you’re younger and more humorous than this family head.. I believe you’ll meet a girl who shares your interest.”
