Steel Rose, Black Thorns

3

In the hearts of many people present, she was indeed a princess. She had gorgeous clothes, jewelry, villas and sports cars. Others may not get them after working hard all their lives, but she got them all when she was born.

Life is so unfair. Whether you are born well or not determines whether you are happy or not in your life.

"Today is the sixteenth birthday of my baby daughter Hannah Zhao. Thank you all for taking the time to attend her birthday party. I, Miles Zhao, would like to thank you all here!" Miles Zhao has a generous personality. Although he is rich, he is not well educated and is also known as a "tycoon" by ordinary people.

"Sixteen years ago, Hanru was born. I was worried at that time. How should I raise such a small child? I was afraid that she would fall if I held her in my hands, and I was afraid that she would melt if I held her in my mouth..."

Amid the laughter and applause of the crowd, Hannah Zhao did not listen carefully to what her father said. She was just anxiously looking for the figure of her sweetheart. He clearly promised her that he would come to participate.

Why hasn't he come yet? What if he delays the opening dance?

For the first time, she hoped that her father's long and boring speech could be longer, but unfortunately it did not go as she wished.

"Thank you everyone!"

The lights came on, the music started, and everyone looked at her, somewhat curious about who the little princess of the Zhao family would dance with today.

But after waiting for a long time, they only saw Hannah Zhao standing there awkwardly.

Did the Zhao family not even choose a dance partner before?

Impossible, someone must have stood her up!

Who is so shameless as to stand up this little princess?

I heard that the guy Hannah Zhao is dating is a poor boy...

How dare a poor boy stand up the little princess? Do you still want to stay in City C?

People in the crowd began to whisper.

Seeing Hannah Zhao about to cry, a boy staggered a step, as if he was forced out. He walked out of the crowd reluctantly and gestured to her. His tone was not very gentle, but it was still polite, "Can I ask you to dance the first dance?"

Finally, the situation was solved, and Miles Zhao and Sophia Song just breathed a sigh of relief.

Hannah Zhao's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't agree immediately. She didn't want to dance with Zheng Xiaoyang. She wanted to wait a little longer. Maybe Jason Zhang would come after a while...

Her skirt was pulled by Sophia Song. She knew what her mother meant. In such an occasion, she couldn't lose face, so she had to bite her lip and reluctantly reached out her hand.

The birthday party went smoothly...

But at this moment, the noise outside the door attracted most people's attention, and the door of the villa was pushed open.

"Police investigating the case!"

What does it mean?

Hannah Zhao looked at the group of uniformed people who came in from outside the door in disbelief. This was her sixteen-year-old birthday party, how could she attract these people?

"Miles Zhao, you are suspected of embezzlement and misappropriation of funds. Please come with us and assist in the investigation." The leading policeman walked indifferently to Miles Zhao, "This is a subpoena."

Miles Zhao was stunned at first, and it was difficult to hide the displeasure on his face. "The innocent will be innocent. I will definitely cooperate with the investigation, but this is my daughter's birthday party. Can I accompany her to cut the cake before leaving? Please wait for a moment, officers."

"Please don't interfere with our performance of official duties." The police were unmoved.

Hannah Zhao had never experienced any storms since she was a child. Looking at this group of aggressive policemen, she was frightened by this scene. This is not true! She didn't believe it!

She looked at her mother in horror, wanting to throw herself into her mother's arms for comfort, but Sophia Song had no time to pay attention to her and turned around to make a phone call.

Miles Zhao was helpless. He turned around and winked at Sophia Song who was on the phone. He looked at Hannah Zhao comfortingly, and bowed to the people present apologetically with a calm smile on his face, as if the appearance of these policemen had not caused any impact on him. "I still say the same old saying, the innocent will be innocent. I believe that the law will give me justice. You can rest assured. Today is a great day for our Hanru to be sixteen years old. Everyone, give me face, eat and play, and have fun!"

After that, Miles Zhao followed the police out of the door leisurely.

Hannah Zhao looked at her father's back and wanted to call him, but she felt that her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't make any sound. Suddenly, there was a strange feeling on her face. She reached out and touched it woodenly, and her hands were full of tears.

Did she cry? She was still confused, staring at her right hand.

"Hanru, mom is here, don't be afraid!" Sophia Song finished the call, her face was not good, but she still held her hand firmly and whispered in her ear, "Don't be timid at this time!"

"Everyone, Lao Zhao just said that the birthday party will continue. You don't have to worry about Lao Zhao. With me, Sophia Song, here, Lao Zhao will be fine, and Zhao Group will be fine." Sophia Song stood up and said strongly.

Sophia Song is a famous iron lady in the business world. Although Miles Zhao is called the "Steel King" by people in City C, Zhao Group Corporation was founded by Miles Zhao and Sophia Song from scratch. In Zhao Group, Sophia Song's voice is not weaker than Miles Zhao. Her words temporarily suppressed the whispers among the guests.
