Lin Shuwen noticed Fang Chen's silence. He did not even respond to Young Master Min's words. He looked like a student listening to a lecture, so Lin Shuwen could not help pressing his forehead anxiously.
In the end, Lin Shuwen could not take it anymore and kicked Fang Chen.
Fang Chen had already extended an olive branch to him. Why did he have to act so bashful instead of trying to get closer to him?
Fang Chen glanced at Lin Shuwen expressionlessly after he was kicked. How dare he do such a thing!
Lin Shuwen pretended not to notice his expression. He did not expect Fang Chen to say anything nice, so he had no choice but to talk to Min Yu on his behalf.
He Xiaoman, who had originally planned to talk to Lin Shuwen again, stopped after taking a few steps towards him.
She saw Lin Shuwen and the man walking over to her neighbor from the countryside. The three of them seemed to know each other, and Lin Shuwen's attitude towards her neighbor seemed a little strange.
Did he seem very respectful?
He Xiaoman looked puzzled. How did Secretary Lin know her neighbor from her hometown? Moreover, Secretary Lin did not seem to be from her hometown.
While she was in a daze, another familiar figure caught her eye.
Her adopted daughter had actually appeared here as well.
He Xiaoman's eyes widened when she saw her foster daughter walking over to Secretary Lin.
That scene made it seem as if everyone was familiar with each other.
The moment this thought crossed her mind, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded before her.
Secretary Lin nodded at his foster daughter respectfully. His attitude was almost the same as how he had treated her neighbor earlier.
This … is too unreal!
He Xiaoman clutched her handbag tightly before she looked at her foster daughter. She exuded an aloof aura like a winter plum blossom. She was haughty and elegant. She seemed superior to Secretary Lin as she stood before him.
How long had it been since her foster daughter returned to the Huo family? How did she change so drastically?
She clearly remembered that Huo Yao had always been taciturn, slow in everything, and always embarrassed the Lu family.
Because of this, Huo Yao had despised her and sent her back to her hometown so that her mother could raise her.
Although Huo Yao had become a stranger in the past year, Huo Yao attributed the drastic change in her personality to the fact that she was no longer the daughter of a wealthy family. But now...
He Xiaoman couldn't help but think of the Huo family. It didn't seem to be a poor family like she had imagined.
Last time, she had asked a detective friend to investigate the Huo family. In the end, the detective friend only gave her one piece of advice: don't provoke the Huo family, because you can't afford to.
He Xiaoman didn't know why her detective friend would say that. After that, no matter how she asked, the other party refused to say anything and even blocked her number.
From then on, she guessed that something was wrong with the Huo family.
That was why she had been picking up her biological daughter from school recently. She wanted to take the opportunity to observe her foster daughter and the Huo family.
Looking at how close her foster daughter and Lin Shuwen were … if it wasn't for their family connections, how could her foster daughter know Lin Shuwen?
After all, not everyone could be a secretary.
The more He Xiaoman thought about it, the more she didn't dare to think about it. She kept numbing herself in the bottom of her heart, hoping that she was mistaken. The Huo family was just the most ordinary family, and there was nothing special about them.
Lin Shuwen sensed He Xiaoman's undisguised gaze, so he raised his head and looked over.
