Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1723 - 1721: Marrying Him and Soaring to the Top (Part 4)
Hua Nuan: "..."
Though Huo Zun didn’t come, his influence was omnipresent.
Hua Nuan tugged her lips, a slight arc forming at the corner of her mouth, and responded.
"Mm, I understand, thank you very much."
"No need to be polite, ma’am. Mr. Huo instructed us, it’s our duty."
...
The Hua Family members, upon seeing Huo Zun’s attitude towards Hua Nuan, each made their own calculations.
Hua Han’s eyes were cold; if looks could kill, the plate in front of Hua Nuan would have vanished.
Originally, Hua Ruyi thought Hua Nuan was more like a slave.
Never did she expect, the woman was high up there, like a queen. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Hua Ruyi’s heart was full of jealousy, why is it...
Six years ago, Hua Nuan was high up, a princess.
Six years later, it remained unchanged.
The woman soared even higher, envied by others.
...
During the meal, Hua Nuan didn’t like to talk too much.
For the most part, it was Hua Dong discussing the hardships and suffering in starting his business.
Hua Nuan listened, keeping it in mind.
Hua Dong showcased his virtuous image to the fullest.
Hua Han didn’t speak much, so more interaction at the table was between Hua Ruyi and Hua Dong.
Hua Nuan squinted her beautiful eyes; she always had the illusion that Hua Dong favored Hua Ruyi more than Hua Han.
Hopefully... it was just her own illusion.
It might also be, the father-in-law favoring his daughter-in-law, which was within reason.
...
"Uncle, Brother Hua Han, Sister Ruyi, you go ahead with the meal; I’ll go to the restroom."
"Alright."
Hua Nuan looked at the mercenaries behind her; wherever she went, they followed her closely.
Originally thought there were only male mercenaries, but after Hua Nuan went to the restroom, she found there were also females, providing all-encompassing protection.
Originally she wanted to calculate some plans, but now the opportunity was completely stripped away by the man.
Heh...
Hua Nuan’s eyes grew cold; the man wasn’t here, yet was incredibly annoying.
...
Just as Hua Nuan exited the restroom, the mercenary respectfully approached and handed her a phone.
"Ma’am, it’s a call from the gentleman."
"Mm."
Hua Nuan raised her hand to take the phone from the woman, speaking a bit irritably.
"I’m very busy, make it quick."
"Little Nuannuan, your tone really is impatient..."
Hua Nuan could hear the dangerous undertone in the man’s words, narrowing her phoenix eyes.
"I wonder what Mr. Huo wants? I’ve never had a particularly nice tone or attitude towards scum, so... if you’re looking for someone with a good tone, you might try customer service, thanks."
Amused by the woman’s childish words, Huo Zun smirked and said, "Mm, just a reminder, sometimes you need to look carefully and attentively at people, because sometimes people can deceive even themselves."
They might give themselves verbal cues that the other person is good.
Because deep down, they know the truth is something they can hardly bear.
Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes sparkled; the man’s words were full of deeper meaning.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing else, just emphasizing again that distinguishing between true and false is crucial. I’m waiting for you at home, mm, if you’re late, I’ll toss your Xiaobai out to the dogs..."
"Meow..."
On the other end of the line came a pitiful whimper from Xiaobai, which immediately made Hua Nuan furious.
