The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Of Course, He Was Waiting for Me!

Jian Dan raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring light.

Once her eyes adjusted, she saw that it was a motorcycle, and the person on it was none other than Qiu Zimo.

A feeling of divine intervention washed over Jian Dan, and a smile finally appeared on her face, “Zimo, what brings you here?”

“I was passing by! I saw a figure that looked like you and came to check it out. I didn’t expect it to be really you!

“Where do you need to go? Hop on, and I’ll take you there!”

“I always said you were my lucky star, Zimo!” Jian Dan exclaimed excitedly.

“Hurry up~”

“Alright!”

Jian Dan, wearing a skirt, chose to sit sideways on the motorcycle.

Qiu Zimo’s driving skills needed no introduction, and in just two minutes, she had already delivered Jian Dan to her destination.

“Thanks Zimo, I’ll come hang out with you sometime and we’ll grab a meal together!” Jian Dan was in too much of a rush, so she didn’t say much to Qiu Zimo. After leaving these words behind, she hurriedly went inside…

Qiu Zimo watched Jian Dan’s flustered figure, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she shook her head.

This lass was always so devoted to other people’s affairs.

The reception had already been underway for a while, yet Jian Dan had not arrived. Huo Siyu had tried calling her several times to no avail, and at this moment, his uncles’ lips were already curling into triumphant smiles.

Of course, they chose not to confront the situation themselves but rather let the admirers take the stage.

Huo Siyu sat alone in a corner, his phone in hand, glancing between it and the entrance now and then.

While his outward appearance didn’t show it, inside, he was as jittery as boiling oil.

“Mr. Huo, aren’t you supposed to kick off the event today? Why are you still here? Where’s your companion?” Huo Siyu suddenly felt a thronging darkness before him.

Looking up, he saw he was encircled by a dozen women.

“Yeah! Mr. Huo, if you don’t have a companion, I can be yours!” One of the women spoke up.

“You? You think you can be Mr. Huo’s companion? Dream on! If Mr. Huo needs a companion, it should obviously be me!” another woman stated haughtily.

“Aren’t you a little too confident in yourself? To say such things in front of so many distinguished ladies, you’re really shameless!”

The place had turned into a battlefield without smoke, everyone vying to stand by Huo Siyu’s side.

“All of you misfits, step aside and look who’s coming!” a female voice rang out.

Indeed, the owner of this voice was merely a minor follower of the woman approaching.

A mere follower daring to be so insolent before all these people indicated how formidable the newcomer must be.

After all, those who could attend a Huo Family reception were incredibly influential.

A woman dressed in a white chiffon gown, appearing as ethereal and innocent as a celestial being, stepped in. The unique aura she exuded instantly made everyone present pale in comparison.

The four major families in the business realm were the Chu Family, Huo Family, Shang Family, and Tan Family.

This woman was the youngest daughter of the Tan Family.

As the only girl among the four great families, she was treated like a treasured princess.

Seeing that the newcomer was Tan Anqi, nobody dared to speak and instead silently moved back, opening up a path for her.

Through the path that was willingly made for her, Tan Anqi gracefully approached Huo Siyu.

“Siyu, shall I join you for the opening?” Tan Anqi walked up to Huo Siyu and extended her right hand.

“Sorry Anqi, I already have a companion tonight, so I can’t start the event with you,” he replied.

“Who among you is Siyu’s companion?” Tan Anqi eyed the women behind him.

Not a single one dared to respond; some even shrank back in fear.

After all, there was never a good ending for those who crossed Tan Anqi.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Tan Anqi contentedly turned her head back, “Siyu, where is your companion?”

“She has not arrived yet,” Huo Siyu answered truthfully.

“To be late for such an occasion, how could such a woman be fit to stand beside the heir of the Huo Family Consortium?” At this point, Huo Siyu’s uncles chimed in to back Anqi up.

“Yes, Siyu, who are you waiting for?” Tan Anqi gazed at Huo Siyu and slowly spoke.

As soon as Jian Dan arrived and saw Huo Siyu surrounded, she knew that these people must have already begun to cause trouble.

Instantly steadying her rapid breathing, “Of course, he’s waiting for me!”

A sweet female voice rang out. Under everyone’s gaze, Jian Dan slowly made her way toward Huo Siyu…
