Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Be Good~

Young Master Huo shifted his gaze from An Ge to Mr. Xu, whose forehead was covered with blood after being hit by him.

With a tone that was neither amused nor angry, he asked, "Tell me, what did she do to offend you that made you want to beat her to death with a bottle?"

The Xu Family had only entered the circle of wealthy families in the past couple of years and really had no strong foundation.

Although Mr. Xu didn’t know why Young Master Huo was standing up for An Ge, at this moment he didn’t dare to say anything bad about her.

"I’m sorry, Young Master Huo, I was just joking with Ms. An Ge earlier, I truly didn’t mean to upset her. It’s all my fault, I beg your pardon and mercy..."

Young Master Huo slowly unbuttoned his suit.

After taking off his suit, he tossed it over An Ge’s face, covering her view.

The fresh, pleasant smell of a man’s attire filled her nose, while the sound of Mr. Xu’s miserable cries echoed in her ears as Young Master Huo punched him.

At that moment, An Ge felt a sense of being protected that made her heart warm.

She removed the suit from her face and held it in her arms. When she looked up, she saw Mr. Xu lying motionless on the ground.

The man who had finished beating Mr. Xu glanced at her before signaling with a beckoning gesture, "Come here."

His tone was as if he was calling a little puppy.

An Ge, somewhat moved, obediently walked up to him.

She lifted her delicate chin toward him, her expressive eyes sparkling, "Why did you help me?"

Young Master Huo didn’t answer her. Instead, he took the suit from her hands.

After he shook out the suit and wrapped it around her shoulders, he placed a hand on her shoulder from behind and addressed the guests, who looked visibly frightened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me formally introduce you—she is An Ge, my grandmother’s newly recognized god-granddaughter, and a member of the Huo Family. As the saying goes, ’Even when beating a dog, one must look at its owner.’"

He paused for a second, the smile on his face disappeared, revealing only a cold and menacing expression.

"And before hitting someone from my family, you’d better consider how many heads you have."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Wu Manman, who was so scared her legs were going weak, and he mocked,

"Ms. Wu, do you really want to end up laid out like your father, Wu Zhigang, unable to get out of bed?"

As soon as he said that, Wu Manman’s knees buckled, and she fell to the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Young Master Huo, I’m...I’m so sorry..."

"Don’t apologize to me, apologize to her."

The ’her’ he referred to was, of course, An Ge.

Despite her heart protesting with a thousand refusals, Wu Manman still forced herself to crawl to An Ge and plead,

"An Ge, I’m sorry, it was all my fault. I had no right to insult you. Please forgive me..."

An Ge ignored her and instead focused her gaze on An Baoying, whose face had turned quite pale.

Under the intensity of her gaze, An Baoying faltered and hurried to Young Master Huo.

"Young Master Huo, I’m sorry. I failed to protect my little sister. If you are going to blame someone, blame me."

Young Master Huo glanced at her, his tone dismissive and indifferent,

"What did you do wrong? Why should I blame you? If anyone’s to blame, it’s your shameless sister." He paused, "And too ungrateful."

At these words, An Baoying finally exhaled with relief.

It turns out, Young Master Huo was only protecting An Ge to preserve the Huo Family’s reputation and face.

In his mind, An Ge was still just a shameless lowlife.

With this realization, An Baoying obediently stood beside Young Master Huo, looking at him with admiration, and said,

"My sister is now, however much, half a member of the Huo Family. To save any future embarrassment, why not send her home first?"

Young Master Huo gave a cold acknowledgment and fixed his gaze on An Ge, whose face had gone pale.

"Listen, if it weren’t for maintaining the Huo Family’s face, I wouldn’t care even if you were stripped bare and paraded. You’d better behave yourself."

After leaving her with those words, Qin Lang approached An Ge and said, "Ms. An Ge, let me take you home."

As he spoke, Xiao Ye, who had been watching the drama unfold, stepped out from the crowd, "She’s my date. I’ll take her."

While speaking, Xiao Ye walked up to An Ge.

Before he could say anything, An Ge spoke first, addressing the elder beside Xiao Ye,

"I’m sorry, but I’m not Mr. Xiao’s date or girlfriend. I only worked at his internet café. Mr. Xiao just wanted to use me as a shield to avoid family blind dates. In truth, we’re not even close friends."

Xiao Ye hadn’t expected her to say that.

He clenched his jaws and sneered, "You’re quite brave? Aren’t you afraid of offending me?"

An Ge met his gaze and calmly replied, "Of course, I’m afraid. But, I believe in Mr. Xiao’s character. You’re not a petty man."

After saying this, she turned to Qin Lang, "Let’s go."

Before leaving with Qin Lang, An Ge handed the suit jacket back to Young Master Huo,

"Young Master Huo, regardless of your reasons for standing up for me, I’m truly grateful." She paused, "Thank you."
