Huo Xiaoran reminded her, “Don’t ruin the wine.”
“What do you mean?” Qiao An was dumbfounded.
Huo Xiaoran put his hands in his pockets and looked at Qiao An coolly, as if she was a fool. “Chen Sisi, you’re my assistant. Who would dare to force you to finish a glass of wine?”
Qiao An looked at the empty wine glass and realized how stupid she was. It turned out that Huo Xiaoran was not called the number one noble for nothing. Saying that he had just become the number one noble and his foundation was unstable was simply a contradiction.
After walking around with him, Qiao An realized that everyone in the club, regardless of age or gender, looked at Huo Xiaoran with admiration.
She was both respectful and afraid.
It was as if Huo Xiaoran was a big tiger.
Qiao An secretly glanced at Huo Xiaoran a few times, feeling extremely curious. This guy was clearly gentle and harmless in the past. Why was he so cold and silent after three years? His entire body seemed to be covered in ice, giving off a fear that could only be seen from afar and not touched.
Just as Qiao An was daydreaming, she vaguely felt a gaze pestering her like a snake. Qiao An turned around and saw Li Zecheng staring straight at her.
He suddenly started walking towards her, but Qiao An was very calm. To her, her ex-husband, Li Zecheng, had already become her past. He had also received the punishment he deserved for what he had done to her. She was even with him.
However, Qiao An had left in a hurry back then. She had no idea what shameless things Li Zecheng and his mother had done to her after Qiao An left.
Li Zecheng walked up to Qiao An and sized her up. “Qiao An? You’re back?”
Qiao An pretended to be confused. “Sir, you’ve got the wrong person. My name is Chen Sisi.”
Li Zecheng was stunned. Qiao An’s smile and voice were indeed very similar to what he remembered, but there were some essential differences in the similarity.
For example, Qiao An’s eyes were round almond-shaped, but Chen Sisi’s eyes were raised and looked more like wide phoenix eyes. Compared to Qiao An, she was even more radiant.

Her voice was completely different from Qiao An’s. Qiao An’s voice was thin and sharp, while Chen Sisi’s voice was a little hoarse, as if there had been a problem with her vocal cords.
These two changes could not be changed through makeup. Li Zecheng finally believed that she was not Qiao An.
“Sorry, I got the wrong person.”
Jo Ann couldn’t be bothered with him.
Li Zecheng continued, “You really look like my ex-wife. However, I think you must not like to hear me say this. After all, my ex-wife has a very bad reputation.”
Qiao An frowned. She had a bad reputation?
This bastard really knew how to lie through his teeth. She remembered that when she left the capital three years ago, it was clearly him, Li Zecheng, who had lost his reputation. Not only had he lost his job, but he had also lost the Li family’s face.
Huo Xiaoran glared at Li Zecheng and warned, “Li Zecheng, as a qualified ex, you should treat yourself as a dead person. Don’t come back to life and badmouth your ex-wife.”
Li Zecheng’s domineering aura instantly withered. In the past, he had always looked down on his uncle’s poverty and arrogance.
However, in front of Huo Xiaoran, he didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
That was simply a cycle of life.
Their positions reversed.
Qiao An interrupted. “Young Master Li, what I heard is different from what you said. It’s said that back then, you cheated on your wife and forced her to jump off a building. In the end, you left with nothing. Your ability to distort the truth is quite good.”
An embarrassed look flashed across Li Zecheng’s face, but he immediately argued with high spirits, “Then you’re too ignorant. My ex-wife cheated. If she hadn’t run away quickly back then, with the public’s spit on her, the saliva would have drowned her.”
Qiao An couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
She was very puzzled. Back then, when she left the capital, she was indeed in deep trouble. However, she entrusted Loco with full authority to deal with this matter. With Loco’s shrewdness, she would definitely be able to settle this matter. After all, Loco knew her character and had evidence of her not cheating.
Something unknown must have happened here.
That was why Loco didn’t suppress this matter.
Li Zecheng’s voice was so loud that a few people who were watching the commotion also stuck their heads over and discussed. “Isn’t that so? Qiao An wants to be a whore and establish a chastity memorial. She clearly coveted the Li family’s assets and wanted to gain a good reputation. In the end, she failed and her reputation was ruined.”
Huo Xiaoran said to Qiao An with a dark expression, “Let’s go.”
Li Zecheng and the few gossipy women sensed Huo Xiaoran’s dissatisfaction with them and walked away resentfully.
Qiao An’s mood was very dark.
So her reputation was so bad now.
She had to ask Loco about the reason for this.
Huo Xiaoran strode forward.
Qiao An quickly followed.
Huo Xiaoran was addicted to smoking. He walked out of the corridor alone, took out a cigar, and raised his head to order Qiao An, “Light it.”
Qiao An touched his bag and then realized. “CEO, stop smoking. I didn’t bring a lighter.”
“Go borrow it,” Huo Xiaoran ordered domineeringly.
Qiao An glared at him bitterly. “CEO, I’m your assistant, not your nanny.”
Huo Xiaoran reminded her, “Don’t forget that I have the right to decide. Therefore, I’ll decide your work.”
Qiao An was completely dumbfounded. “DoI have to listen to you if you want me to eat shit?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Don’t worry, I won’t make such a perverse request. After all, it’s not beneficial to me.”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at him and entered the club resignedly. She quickly borrowed a lighter.
She lit the cigarette for Huo Xiaoran, and Huo Xiaoran took a deep breath, as if he was in a bad mood. Then, he spat out a big smoke ring.
Qiao An saw him smoking and guessed that he was quite an experienced smoker.
“CEO Huo, when did you learn to smoke?” She couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Three years ago,” he answered her flatly.
“Why are you smoking?” She picked up a canapé and continued to ask.
Huo Xiaoran glared at her fiercely, as if saying, “Mind your own business.”
Qiao An fell silent in embarrassment.
She was just curious. She felt that the capital was different from three years ago.
Everyone became different.
After Huo Xiaoran finished smoking, Qiao An thought that he was about to enter the clubhouse, but she realized that he was staring straight at a couple kissing at the end of the corridor.
Qiao An didn’t expect Huo Xiaoran to have such a peeping habit. She was thin-skinned and turned her head in embarrassment when she saw this scene.
