Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 862: Chapter 872: Ingrate

Then he looked at Huo Shaohua, ”President Huo, although Ran is someone you brought here, she is still my daughter, and I think...”

”I’ve long heard of President Huo’s renowned name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary,” a woman’s voice suddenly interrupted An Youcai.

Sun Xuehui hadn’t even walked up to the group when she heard An Youcai standing up to President Huo for that little slut, speaking as she reached out to pull An Youcai.

”Who is this lady?” Huo Shaohua had never met Sun Xuehui, and out of courtesy, he nodded toward her and asked.

Upon seeing Sun Xuehui, An Youcai immediately became as timid as a mouse in front of a cat, and all his arrogance vanished without a trace. Hearing Huo Shaohua’s question, he hurriedly introduced, ”This is my dear wife.”

Seeing An Sijia following behind Sun Xuehui, he went on to introduce, ”This is my little daughter.”

He then spoke to An Sijia, ”Jiajia, aren’t you going to greet President Huo?”

An Sijia walked up to Huo Shaohua with elegance, extended her delicate hand, and graciously said, ”President Huo, I’ve long admired your name.”

Huo Shaohua looked at Sun Xuehui and her daughter, then glanced at An Youcai, his eyes flashing with an indescribable light, finally curling his lips and extending his hand to shake An Sijia’s, ”Hello.”

An Ran was already aware of An Youcai’s behavior. Whenever Sun Xuehui appeared, his principles, his bottom line, would vanish completely.

Not in the mood to watch that family of three fawning over Huo Shaohua with smiles and flattery, An Ran pulled Xiao Xiao and said, ”Let’s go sit over there.”

An Sijia looked at An Ran’s back and suddenly said, ”Mom, isn’t that sister?”

”What sister?” Sun Xuehui pretended to be displeased and said, ”I only gave birth to you and your brother. As for others, I’ll just consider that I’ve raised a thankless wretch for over ten years.”

”Mom, I think sister has her difficulties. I’ve heard from classmates that sister often appears in such occasions. I didn’t expect it to be true. Why don’t I go and persuade her later?”

An Sijia looked worriedly at Sun Xuehui and An Youcai.

At this point, An Youcai had already assumed that An Ran was that kind of woman. Hearing An Sijia’s words only confirmed his judgement.

An Sijia was at Nan’an, studying acting, and many of her classmates would seize opportunities to attend these kinds of parties to network and build resources. Her saying so was likely exactly what he thought.

”Alright, Jiajia, you grew up with Ran and studied at Nan’an together. You should have more in common. Maybe she’ll listen to you. Do try to persuade her on behalf of your father.”

”Got it, Dad. Previously, she was entangled with that soldier, and I was very worried. Now that she’s like this, how can I ignore her? I’ll go and have a word with her later.” An Sijia bit her lower lip delicately, looking pitiful, with endless worry in her eyes.

Sun Xuehui sighed, ”Jiajia, if only your sister was half as sensible as you, things wouldn’t have escalated with the family this way.”

Huo Shaohua watched this family of three perform like a farce, the corners of his lips always carrying a faint smile. Seeing Lu Zhenting approaching An Ran from a distance, Huo Shaohua nodded slightly, ”Excuse me for a moment.”

Saying that, he turned and walked into the banquet.

Originally, his collaboration with Ansheng’s company had been due to the impressive achievements of Ansheng in the past six months. Now, after seeing this family of three, Huo Shaohua felt it necessary to listen to Mr. An’s opinion on the upcoming cooperation.
