“Mu Xian, get back here!”
Mu Xian’s father yelled at him. He was so furious that his veins throbbed visibly on his neck.
The bridesmaids on the stage rushed to console the bride. Su Cheng snapped out of it and went after Mu Xian.
Huo Yunting looked distracted. He took a casual sweeping glance at the guests, but was in fact looking for Lu Zhaoyang.
When he noticed the woman beside her, he started walking toward her but was blocked by someone else.
“President Huo, please wait.”
Huo Yunting looked down at Fu Yuhuan, who had already taken off her veil. “Yes?”
Fu Yuhuan looked up at the face that had bewitched hundreds of women and said, “What do you think of me, President Huo?”
She, Fu Yuhuan, was an international movie star and daughter of the owner of Fu Financial. She would not allow herself to accept such a disgrace.
She knew that her tactic was silly, but the situation had forced her hand.
She cannot allow Mu Xian to humiliate her like this. The entire Fu family would be shamed!
Everyone knew Huo Yunting’s power and status in the city. She could only bet her hopes on this man.
Now that everyone was focused on Mu Xian, it was the best opportunity for her to negotiate with Huo Yunting!
“I can’t do this with my friend’s wife. Try someone else, Ms Fu.”
Huo Yunting continued walking but Fu Yuhuan kept one step ahead of him.
“President Huo, we were going to sign the papers during the wedding. Since there was no signing, I am technically not his wife. I believe that Fu Financial can a.s.sist Thunderbolt Corp to grow even further. Marriages are meant to bring families together. It doesn’t matter who the other person is, right?”
Fu Yuhuan had been taught since young to behave like a lady. Her every gesture was elegant and graceful.
Moreover, she was a multi-award-winning actress who can will herself to look confident and enticing. Most men cannot resist her.
Unfortunately, Huo Yunting was not most men.
Annoyed, Huo Yunting stopped in his tracks and looked coldly at her.
“I am not interested in you, Ms Fu. If I may give you an advice, stop scheming, accept the fact, and step aside before anyone notices. It is the only way to avoid making things worse for you.”
“…”
Fu Yuhuan never imagined that her beauty and all the advantages that could come from their marriage failed to convince the man.
She never heard of Huo Yunting being together with another woman. Was he perhaps repulsed by the fact that Mu Xian had rejected her?
People would forget about that soon enough, so why would he behave like this?!
“Excuse me, Ms Fu.”
Lu Zhaoyang spoke up.
She had kept her eyes on Huo Yunting the whole time, unlike the rest of the guests.
Fu Yuhuan looked to the woman who spoke up and found that she looked familiar.
Ah! She was with Huo Yunting during the auction at Mu Xian’s place last year.
During the event, Huo Yunting bidded successfully for a necklace at an exorbitantly high price and put the necklace on her himself.
Beautiful women are always eye-catching, but they also tend to make other beautiful women jealous.
Fu Yuhuan stepped to Huo Yunting’s side and asked, “What do you think about us getting married?”
“Oh, getting married? I’m sure we can arrange that some other time. We have other business to attend to right now, so please excuse us, Ms Fu. I’m sure you would prefer not to have memories of your ex on your wedding day.”
Lu Zhaoyang spoke as gently as she could manage. She wanted to get Huo Yunting out of there as soon as possible since Wen He was probably here because of him.
