So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

Chapter 149 Stealing a Moment

Xie Junfei knew that Huo Shen thought she was being too formal, so she quickly changed her tune before angering him:

"Yes, yes, we're all one family, it's only right that you take my side."

"This time I just forgot by accident, but next time I'll make sure to get used to it in advance."

Seeing Huo Shen nod in satisfaction, Xie Junfei felt a bead of cold sweat slowly trickle down his forehead, inwardly complaining:

Who's the younger one here? Why is this old guy acting so spoiled lately?

Huo Shen picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took a sip:

"Back then, you went to great lengths to come to the Huo family and help me deal with those few rogue relatives without saying anything, so naturally I have to make a proper statement this time."

"By the way, what about your brother? Shall we talk about it now?"

Xie Junfei glanced at the yellowed genetic testing report on the table, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Let's forget about it for now. If my brother finds out, he'll definitely fight Shen Huaishan with all his might."

Xie Wenzhou and the rest of Xie's brothers were all abandoned in an orphanage when they were young. Before retiring, the old director told them in detail about how they appeared in the orphanage.

Therefore, when her fifth brother's parents, who were movie stars, came to her door some time ago, Xie Wenzhou was furious. He even used Xie Junfei's influence to set a trap and send his fifth brother Xie Yun's gambling father to prison.

As for the mother who tried to reap the benefits without sowing, she was sent to the countryside with only two thousand yuan a month.

Xie Yun's mother still wanted to cause trouble, so Xie Wenzhou directly called a large group of bodyguards to her room.

“I have always believed that the kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. You keep saying that you regret abandoning him, but all these years he has been waiting in the orphanage where you abandoned him, yet you have never even come to see him once.”

"Now that Xiaoyun is famous, you're trying to climb the social ladder by claiming kinship! Do you even deserve her?!"

"Go home with your whole body or go home with missing limbs, you choose."

After saying that, the burly bodyguard stepped forward, scaring the woman so much that she scrambled away.

If Xie Wenzhou knew that Shen Huaishan was Xie Junfei's father's killer...

If he didn't squander his entire fortune to turn Shen Huaishan into a fish sashimi dish, then Shen Huaishan would be lucky to survive.

Huo Shen thought of his brother-in-law's temper, and although he didn't say anything, the curve of his nod in agreement with Xie Junfei was noticeably larger.

Xie Junfei was both amused and exasperated, and punched him on the shoulder:

"Don't think I don't know you've been talking about my older brother behind his back. You better behave yourself. My older brother is only doing it for my own good."

Huo Shen caught his little girl's fist, then pulled her into his arms, resting his head on her shoulder with a smile:

"I know, I know, how could I dare to speak ill of my brother-in-law?"

"As for Shen Huaishan, I will do my best to help you."

"However, you will only be able to access the higher-level connections and resources of the Huo family after you and I get engaged and you become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family."

"Just tell me directly if you need anything before then."

Xie Junfei sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and nodded in understanding:

"I understand the rules; after all, the safe key should be given to my wife."

Moreover, in a family like the Huo family, the "connections" that the matriarch can obtain are far more than just a safe deposit box key, of course, the insurance of her own family members who are engaged.

Even Huo's mother only gained control of the household after getting married, backed by the Huo family.

Now that Huo Shen understands her desire for revenge, he is doing his best to relax the conditions to include engagement, which is already a crazy test of the bottom line of so-called "ancestral etiquette".

The study window was ajar, and the early summer evening breeze was still a bit chilly, so Xie Junfei slipped her hands inside Huo Shen's shirt.

"Don't worry, I'm not angry. Don't explain."

Before Huo Shen could say anything, the door was kicked open, and Robert's voice burst in:

"Mommy and Daddy, I've finished sweeping the floor! I'm coming to play with you!"

The mischievous child suddenly attacked, and Xie Junfei hurriedly got off Huo Shen, only to find that the pendant on her bracelet got stuck on the mother-of-pearl button of his shirt.

In her haste, Xie Junfei didn't even know what she was rushing for. With a strong tug, the buttons that were firmly sewn onto her shirt fell off and onto the floor.

The shirt was ripped open, revealing most of the man's honey-colored chest.

Coupled with Xie Junfei's disheveled appearance, they looked exactly like a young couple whose scene had been witnessed by a child.

Upon seeing this, Robert's AI eyes immediately lit up:

Wow! Wow! Wow!!

Xie Junfei explained in a series of "ah ah ah" sounds:

"I'm not! I didn't!"

This brat is a despicable robot produced by Xie Wenzhou's company, and it needs to be sent back to the factory for upgrades every now and then!

Xie Junfei had witnessed its upgrade. Because it couldn't connect to the internet, Robert was like a teapot with a chipped spout, bombarding Shen An and Xie Wenzhou with gossip and chatter.

She couldn't let her older brother misunderstand her, otherwise he would definitely start nagging her like a monk!

Robert, however, had clearly grasped the wrong message of the meeting. He excitedly closed the door for his parents and even thoughtfully announced loudly to Aunt Zhang downstairs:

"Aunt Zhang—I'm going to have a little sister!"

"You're not allowed to come up here and bother Daddy and Mommy! Let me guard the door for Mommy. Don't worry, Mommy promises I won't eavesdrop!"

Xie Junfei felt her nose burning. She opened the door, reached out and covered Robert's mouth, dragging him forcefully towards the study.

"Don't you dare talk nonsense! If you say another word, I'll format you!"

Robert screamed as he was being pulled:

"Help! Mommy's angry and about to hit me! Help! Help! Someone please save my poor little Ai Bao!"

Xie Junfei grinned maliciously:

"Besides me and Huo Shen, there's no one here to save you even if you scream your lungs out!"

Upon hearing this, Robert looked around and indeed saw only Huo Shen, who was leisurely watching the show and drinking tea with his legs crossed, showing no intention of helping out.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Aunt Zhang smiled and went into the room, giving the young couple plenty of private space.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Robert's eyes darted around, and he stopped struggling.

It stood up straight and spoke in the factory-set AI voice:

"The phone number 'Xie Wenzhou' has been dialed and is ringing—"

Xie Junfei: ?

Huo Shen: ?

Robert, making faces:

Are you kidding me? My AI baby can do everything, but it can still manage to report to the central government!
