“Huo Man, you shouldn’t go to that kind of bar.” Before Huo Yan could refute, Huo Cheng spoke up, acting like a parent. “The people in Xiangse are either rich or noble. You don’t know the rules, so you’ll be a laughing stock.”

Huo Yan immediately agreed, “That’s right! Do you really think that you’re worthy of the fragrance just because you have a VIP card? I advise you to be more honest!”

Huo Man was a little speechless at this family. They were clearly her blood relatives, so why did these people look down on her?

In their eyes, no matter where she went, she would embarrass the Huo family. But in fact, they were the ones who were embarrassed.

“Huo Man, you’ve just returned from the countryside, and you still have a lot of etiquette and rules to learn. Especially now that you’re representing the Huo family, you need to be more restrained.” Liang Yu followed Huo Yan’s words.

Although these words sounded like a serious lesson from her mother, Huo Man knew that Liang Yu was disdaining her.

“Your father has also contacted a school for you. You can go to school next week. Yanyan and Yi will be in the same school as you, so you can help each other out.”

After hearing Liang Yu’s words, Huo Man had an ominous feeling.

Especially when she saw Huo Yan’s smug face, her premonition grew stronger.

Usually, Huo Yan and Huo Yi would have yelled at Huo Man, saying that Huo man didn’t deserve to go to the same school as them.

However, the two of them didn’t say a word this time. On the contrary, it felt like they were playing right into their hands.

Huo Man suddenly felt that Liang Yu and Huo Cheng didn’t have good intentions in sending her to school. After she got to school, Huo Yan would definitely use her connections to harm her.

Thinking of this, Huo Man suddenly felt that going to school was full of challenges.

In the beginning, she didn’t want to go to school. With her current knowledge, it didn’t matter if she went to school or not.

However, Huo Man couldn’t help but want to see what other tricks Huo Yan had up her sleeve when she thought about how Huo Yan was going to make things difficult for her at school.

“Sure, I’ll be looking forward to your guidance then, little brother and sister.” Huo Man leaned back in her chair, curled her lips, and glanced at Huo Yan and Huo Yi.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs- they found it strange. Huo Man was clearly smiling, but why did she look so scary-

There were still a few days before she went to school, and Huo Man still had a lot of things to deal with.

There were still other things to settle on the other side when Tang Qin called again.

“Xiaoman, someone wants to cooperate with us.”

This was what Huo Man liked about Tang Qin. He always went straight to the point and he didn’t need her to ask.

“Who is it?”

If it was a good partner, she was willing to consider it.

Tang Qin was silent for a moment before saying, “The Shen Corporation.”

The Shen group? Shen Bei’s cold face appeared in Huo Man’s mind.

The person who wanted to cooperate with Bu was her fiancé?

Wasn’t this too melodramatic?

Compared to this, Huo Man was more concerned about why Shen Bei suddenly wanted to cooperate with Bu.

Previously, she had clearly heard that Shen Bei scoffed at the brothel. This change made Huo Man wary.

“Their company has been trying to make bionic robots. Shen Bei must have known that Bu has the most advanced artificial intelligence technology, so he thought of working with us.” Tang Qin continued when Huo Man didn’t say anything.

“I’m afraid things aren’t that simple.”

Huo man always felt that Shen Bei had another purpose for looking for her.

However, she couldn’t think of a specific reason for the time being.

“What do you plan to do?” Tang Qin had always listened to Huo Man’s arrangements. He wanted to hear Huo Man’s opinion on the matter of Shen Bei.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Man gave an answer. “Promise him, we’ll act according to the situation.”

“The Shen family has requested that if we want to cooperate, they need our people to discuss it with them in person. Why don’t I go?”

Tang Qin knew about Huo Man’s relationship with Shen Bei, so he thought that Huo Man would not be willing to meet Shen Bei in person.

“No,” replied Huo Man. “I’ll go myself.”

Tang Qin was stunned. He got Huo Man to go personally? To talk to Shen Bei personally?

Why didn’t Huo Man play by the rules this time?

“Huo Man, are you sure …”

Huo Man hung up before Tang Qin could finish.
