Two minutes later, Huo Xiao ended the kiss.

Shao Yan's face was flushed, making her look even more beautiful and alluring.

The air was thick with a strange tension. Meng Yu sat next to Pei Rongrong, and the sudden surge of hostility from him was something even she found inexplicable.

"Ah Yu?"

Meng Yu clenched his fist and then relaxed it, finally picking up the water glass on the table and taking a big gulp, uttering endless sarcastic remarks.

"My uncle and Miss Shao are really—loving!"

Huo Xiao smiled faintly: "You and Rongrong can do it too."

Pei Rongrong blushed, but what she really wanted to scold was Shao Yan.

How dare she seduce her uncle in public? She's so shameless!

Meng Yu kept a gloomy face, while Pei Rongrong ate her food without noticing.

"Pei Rongrong? It really is you."

Standing in front of Pei Rongrong was a man in a white suit with neatly combed hair, who looked to be in his early twenties, and he looked pleasantly surprised.

Pei Rongrong didn't know who the man in front of her was. Just as she was wondering, the man had already made his move.

"I'm your senior from Stanford. You studied finance, and I studied environmental engineering, Peter. Don't you remember me?"

Peter held onto Pei Rongrong's hand tightly. A look of panic flashed across her face as she tried to pull away, but Peter's grip was so strong that she couldn't move at all.

Meng Yu's anger had reached its peak. If it weren't for his reason telling him not to, he would have already beaten Huo Xiao up.

How dare Huo Xiao kiss Shao Yan in front of her husband?

Now someone has finally diverted his anger.

"I don't know you."

Pei Rongrong grew increasingly flustered, and Peter noticed Meng Yu beside her, his smile fading.

"Your boyfriend? He's not much to talk about."

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yu punched Peter in the nose.

The quiet restaurant instantly descended into chaos, with cups, plates, and lamps overturned on the floor, and Meng Yu and Peter wrestling amongst themselves.

Meng Yu seemed to have used all the strength he had ever had to knock Peter to the ground.

However, the other side was not to be outdone.

Having studied abroad, I'm used to working out, so I have a good foundation.

The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

In the end, the restaurant manager called the police, and the police arrived and separated the two.

"Uncle, what should we do?!"

Pei Rongrong called out to Huo Xiao, who was about to leave, with a sob in her voice.

She had never dealt with anything like this before, and she never expected Meng Yu to react so strongly, even getting into a fight for her sake.

Huo Xiao draped his suit jacket over his left arm, his right arm around Shao Yan's waist, his tone indifferent.

"I'll take your aunt home first, and we'll talk at the police station if anything comes up."

Huo Xiao took Shao Yan into the car. Shao Yan didn't say a word and didn't even glance at Meng Yu who was being taken away.

The two got into the back seat, and as the car door slowly closed, Huo Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Don't you feel bad?"

Shao Yan didn't know what he was saying and answered blankly.

"What?"

Huo Xiao gave her a meaningful look, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"It's nothing. I'll take you home. I still need to help Rongrong deal with her boyfriend's matter later."

Shao Yan had no objection, said "Oh," and rested her head on Huo Xiao's shoulder.

Huo Xiao's displeasure finally relaxed, and he gently pulled Shao Yan into his arms.

At one o'clock in the morning, Huo Xiao walked into the police station covered in fog.

Pei Rongrong and Meng Yu were both waiting for him.

Peter had already been released on bail, and Pei Rongrong felt as if she had been granted a pardon upon seeing Huo Xiao.

"uncle--"

Pei Rongrong's eyes were brimming with tears.

Huo Xiao said to her, "Have Cheng Qian take you home. Don't let your mother worry. I'll take care of things here."

Pei Rongrong trusted Huo Xiao completely, but as she was leaving, she moved closer to him.

"Ah Yu fought because of me, Uncle, you must help him."

Her eyes reddened, and before Huo Xiao could answer, Pei Rongrong said mysteriously, "I always felt that A Yu seemed very angry when you kissed Miss Shao today."

Uncle, I think you should keep a close eye on the woman beside you and prevent her from flirting with other women.

Do you really think she's better than Sister Lan Yan? Don't be fooled by her appearance.

Huo Xiao gently rubbed Pei Rongrong's head: "Let's go back."

He watched her get into the car, then turned around and saw Meng Yu sitting on a bench in the lobby, his clothes disheveled and bloodstains on his lips.

Even in his disheveled state, he remained handsome.

It's no wonder Pei Rongrong is so devoted to Meng Yu; when it comes to women, Meng Yu has the assets.

Huo Xiao had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Meng Yu with a mocking expression.

"Mr. Meng, are you very unwilling to accept this?"

Meng Yu finally regained some vitality and looked at Huo Xiao with a gloomy and ruthless expression.

"She's my wife; Attorney Huo should have known that long ago."

Because he had warned Meng Yu to deal with his secret wife. Huo Xiao knew this all along, and deliberately approached him, stealing Shao Yan away from him.

Huo Xiao exhaled an elegant smoke ring into the sky, pressed his well-defined knuckles against his brow, and chuckled softly.

"It's a pity—you didn't cherish it."

Meng Yu's fists cracked at his sides, and the veins on his neck bulged as if they were about to burst through his skin, which was terrifying.

"Huo Xiao, she will be with me. You can't take her away from me."

It's been three years, no, Shao Yan has loved him for ten years. He doesn't believe that Huo Xiao alone can destroy Shao Yan's ten years of feelings for him.

She just wanted revenge and wanted to use Huo Xiao to get his attention.

And she has indeed done it.

"Oh?"

Huo Xiao's eyes held a profound, enigmatic look.

"Mr. Meng, let's wait and see."

At this moment, two police officers in charge of Meng Yu's case that night walked over.

They all knew Huo Xiao, the notorious lawyer in Beicheng, and were quite polite in their conversation.

"Attorney Huo, are you seeking to bail Meng Yu out?"

Huo Xiao's lips curled into a teasing smile.

"no."

Meng Yu's dark eyes narrowed. He couldn't let Zhou Fang know about this, and he certainly couldn't let the Meng family know. Otherwise, if word got back to the old man, and Tank found out that he had fought over a woman, what would the old man think of him?

He thought Huo Xiao had come to rescue him.

"That is?"

The policeman politely offered me a cigarette, for reasons unknown.

Huo Xiao said calmly, "I think President Meng seems to really like this place, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken to me like that just now, and even tried to disrespect my wife with his words."

Meng Yu's breathing became more and more rapid. He thought that Huo Xiao wouldn't do anything to him because of Pei Rongrong, but he was wrong.

This man can be ruthless to the point of not recognizing even his own family.

The policeman chuckled twice and stood to the side without saying a word.

They were waiting for Huo Xiao's instructions.

"Let President Meng stay here for a couple of days and get a feel for it. After all, only a harsh environment can keep a person's mind clear. President Meng will know what to say and what not to say."
