332: The Butler's Apology

The Butler's Apology

He Yu didn't probe further. Instead, he revealed a gentle and tolerant smile. He wrapped his arm around Huo You's waist and got her to change directions. He pointed at a few young foreigners in the corner and whispered into Huo You's ear, "These are rich second-generation heirs from abroad. Although they don't have any real power in family matters, the connections they have behind them are also very rich. I had a good chat with them just now and have agreed to introduce my fiancée to them."2

A few people on the other side seemed to have sensed He Yu's gaze as well. One of them waved happily in their direction, and He Yu waved in response.

Huo You smiled wearily. "I'm tired. I don't want to entertain a group of foreigners."

She twisted her body slightly and wanted to break free from He Yu's arms, but He Yu pulled Huo You back into his embrace and grabbed her slender shoulders, preventing her from leaving his embrace.

He Yu's gaze and tone were already a little unhappy. He whispered into Huo You's ear, "Those young masters and young ladies saw you splashing wine at me just now, so they became interested in us. They're very curious about you and must get to know you. Their family is qualified to be sent an invitation by the Hill Family. This is enough to prove their status and strength, so you should obediently give those people some face, okay?"

This reason was too strong for Huo You to protest anymore. She pursed her lips and tried hard to put on a perfect smile.

She nodded wearily and said, "Alright, let's go greet your new friends then."

Huo You was led by He Yu to the group of foreigners. As the middleman, He Yu did the introductions.

This group of foreigners had an unbridled personality and their emotions were even more unconcealed.

As soon as they saw Huo You, someone said excitedly, "Beautiful lady, you were really too cool just now. I thought all Chinese women were gentle, but I didn't expect to see a girl with such a personality like you. It's really surprising."

"That's right. You did very well just now. Towards such a stinky man, you should have given him a slap. However, splashing alcohol on his face feels very good too!"

On such an occasion, everyone expressed their kindness. However, gradually, this group of carefree foreigners also realized that Huo You was in a bad mood and didn't look very happy. The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Huo You had been trained to observe people's expressions. When she realized that the atmosphere wasn't right, she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood after what happened earlier and still haven't recovered. It's not that I'm not giving everyone face…"

After some explanation, these new foreign friends expressed their understanding and started cursing the man with vulgar words again.

Just as Huo You was trying hard to adjust her emotions to blend into the enthusiastic atmosphere around her, a refined-looking middle-aged man in a formal shirt and vest walked up to Huo You.

He had the bearing and conduct that only those from families with a long history could have. He bowed respectfully to Huo You and asked, "Hello, are you Miss Huo You?"

"Yes, I'm Huo You." Huo You looked at the middle-aged man in front of her in confusion. "May I help you?"

"Hello, Miss Huo You. I'm the Hill Family's butler." The butler introduced himself briefly, then said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry to say that you had an unhappy experience at the banquet because of our mistake. Madam already knows about this and is very angry about it. Although the Huo Family tried their best to stop Madam from getting involved with you, Madam said that you were once her adopted daughter. She won't ignore the grievances and harm you suffered."

The surroundings gradually quietened down, and everyone's gazes slowly landed on Huo You. Their gazes gradually became very passionate. It was as if only at this moment did they realize that there was actually such a gold mine hidden beside them.

Huo You felt on edge from those scorching gazes. She tried her best to straighten her back and maintain a reserved attitude as she said, "That gentleman is lacking in morals, that's why he was rude to me. This isn't your fault. I hope that the Madam won't take this to heart."
