Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Embarrassment_1
“Yeah!” Huo Beijiang tossed the car keys into his pocket, grabbing Nan Fei’s hand and refusing to let go, regardless of her struggling.
“…” Okay! Too much surprise. She should be calm and not make a big deal out of it.
The State Guest House, while not a newly popular five-star hotel from abroad nor a century-old traditional restaurant in the province, is the one with the highest threshold.
It is not a place where you can simply spend your money.
This is generally a place to entertain important guests or dignitaries.
Of course, if you have both money and power, no one would stop you.
When Huo Beijiang brought Nan Fei in, their arrival in the exquisitely designed hall attracted many people’s attention. But the guests who could enter here are not short-sighted, and judging people has already gone beyond simple appearances.
Even if Nan Fei was dressed simply, no one looked at her with disdain.
Because being poor is temporary, as long as you have capital, it’s not hard to get rich. And, the man she was with was obviously not to be messed with. But this doesn’t include everyone among those people.
In the bright and clean hall, at a circular seat, five or six people were dining. It was He Rongxi and his family, inviting Huo Linong, as a formal welcome party.
Calling it a welcome party is not quite right either, because today was the day Huo Linong was bidding farewell. Since his old classmate refused to take his daughter back, he could not force her to return, resulting in a compromise.
Else, if they parted on bad terms after so many years of friendship, it would just be a big joke.
As soon as Huo Beijiang walked in with Nan Fei, it caught Jing Tong’s attention. Specifically, her face was young, beautiful, and striking. What irritated her more was that the girl had the most perfect lip shape, one any man would find irresistible.
Jing Tong’s eyes deepened, a thread of hidden emotion surfacing.
She subconsciously touched her own face. Although it was well-maintained, due to having a child and past hardships, it was no longer plump and rosy.
“Has the State Guest House already fallen to the point where just anyone can stroll in?” Jing Tong’s gaze fell on Nan Fei, her tone carrying a barely noticeable touch of mockery, but her face still wore a gentle smile.
When everyone heard her, they turned to look. Huo Linong, holding chopsticks, coughed nervously. This kid, he’s also come? Not bad! He has finally grown up, even learning to bring a girl out.
He Rongxi glanced over and first noticed Nan Fei’s clothes. They were cheap, a common cotton shirt, the kind often seen. Not to mention they disdain them, even his housemaid wouldn’t wear them.
“Really!” He Rongxi felt it was a loss of his face. He had invited his old classmate to dinner at the State Guest House precisely to show off his status and class.
The meal served followed by a rustic person walking in, wasn’t this a slap in his face?
He Rongxi’s gaze shifted upwards, intending to look at the girl’s face, but was interrupted by Jing Tong. “Darling, look, we invited our old classmate with full sincerity, but someone spoiled the atmosphere!”
Jing Tong spoke with a guilt and self-blame, whispering softly: “I’m sorry! Please don’t mind that we couldn’t manage to reserve the entire first floor. It’s our mistake.”
Huo Linong had a very bad premonition. Being someone with placid demeanor and preferring to keep a low profile, he never fancied showing off or argued with people. But his son is not like that!
His son, who is difficult to deal with, even he, as his father, finds him vexing.
