What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

The act of drawing lots itself carries the expectation of a lucky windfall.

After the annual meeting began, Huo Yueze accompanied Huo Guining as they ate and drank. At their table, besides Xi Chuan, there was also Yin Su.

Due to Huo Xiaozheng's presence, occasionally some executives would come to the head table to offer toasts, but no one dared to sit down.

Taking advantage of Huo Xiaozheng's momentary distraction, Huo Guining quickly stuffed a piece of ice cream bread into her mouth.

While chewing, she gestured for Huo Yueze to try some too: "Brother, this is delicious."

Huo Yueze declined: "My teeth have been hurting lately, so I can't eat it. Ningnin, you eat more."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of bread and placed it on Ningnin's plate.

Huo Xiaozheng, without turning his gaze, replaced Ningnin's plate and admonished Huo Yueze: "Your teeth are already hurting, yet you're giving your sister so many sweets. Aren't you worried she'll get a toothache too?"

Huo Yueze: That makes sense.

Fortunately, there were other delicious foods on the table, and Huo Guining quickly got over the ice cream bread.

She ate bite by bite, like a little hamster.

The host cued Huo Xiaozheng, inviting him to give a speech on stage.

Huo Xiaozheng stood up, buttoned his suit jacket, and instructed Huo Yueze to keep an eye on Ningnin, making sure she didn't eat too much.

Huo Yueze gave his uncle an "OK" hand gesture.

Huo Xiaozheng walked towards the stage with an upright posture and long strides.

Under the spotlight, Huo Xiaozheng appeared tall and long-legged, with sharp features and a high nose bridge. His face had completely lost its usual gentleness, looking as cool as a domineering CEO straight out of a manga.

Huo Guining looked around and noticed many female employees swooning over Huo Xiaozheng.

Huo Guining felt proud as if she were the object of their admiration. She stopped eating and took out her phone.

With a "click" sound.

Huo Yueze thought she was taking a selfie and leaned in to join the photo.

Huo Guining giggled: "I'm taking a picture of Dad."

Huo Yueze felt jealous: "Then you should take one of me too."

After a moment's thought, Huo Yueze added: "No, let's take one together."

After playing the selfie game with Huo Yueze for a while, Huo Guining resumed eating.

On the main stage, Huo Xiaozheng's speech was nearing its end.

"Since my daughter wants to participate in the prize draw, and young children shouldn't stay up too late, today's lucky draw will start earlier."

As soon as he said this, a wave of playful jeers rose from the audience below.

"Who says our CEO Huo is cold? How cold could such a considerate dad be?"

"I wonder if Ningnin wants a stepmother—fair-skinned, beautiful, but without long legs."

Whispered jokes could be heard from all around.

But there was no real malice in them.

Huo Guining heard them but didn't mind.
