Chapter 201 Pretending
Shen Qiuting smiled and coughed lightly, shaking his head: "No problem, there is nothing wrong with what my sister-in-law said."
The other two nodded.
Jiang Qi asked: "Sister Xiang Xuan, are you not going to eat?"
"Well, you eat." Xiang Xuan turned around and went out.
Seeing this, Su Youchen was about to stand up and shout, but Jiang Qi forced him to sit down, "What are you yelling about? Do you think Sister Xiang Xuan doesn't know they are next door?"
Hearing this, his eyes lit up. : "Sister-in-law did it on purpose?"
Shen Qiuting and Jiang Qi looked at each other and it was clear why Xiang Xuan just said they should meet.
Next door at the moment.
Huo Yanzhou met Huo Mingchen and called for someone without meeting him.
On the contrary, when Huo Mingchen saw him, he stood up happily: "Ninth brother, I finally see you."
"We can meet you tomorrow too. Why did myna come here to see me in the middle of the night?" In the meantime, Huo Yanzhou had already sat down.
That handsome and profound face seemed to be covered with an impenetrable layer of ice, keeping people away thousands of miles away.
Huo Mingchen deeply felt this strong sense of alienation, and even the enthusiasm just now was a little weaker. He smiled brightly: "I just wanted to come over in advance to see how you are doing in Huicheng over the past two years. If you wait until tomorrow, I probably won't be able to get a chance to talk to you."
Hearing this familiar but hypocritical opening statement, Huo Yanzhou's expression was calm, and his dark eyes were still cold. "What else?"
Huo Mingchen's expression suddenly paused, and he was a little unresponsive.
He turned away, calmed down, and put a smile on his face again: "I really can't hide anything from you, but you started so straightforwardly, I feel like I'm here to find you You really shouldn’t.”
“You will suffer the consequences. I thought about it, but you have to come to me." Huo Yanzhou continued to expose his thoughts and said coolly: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, there is no need to waste time."
Huo Mingchen felt lost for a while, knowing that he was in front of Huo Yanzhou. No need to pretend anything anymore.
He should have lost any hope in the Huo family long ago.
He said frankly: "The reason why I came to you so late is actually because I want you to do a favor for our Sixth Fang. In the future, when you really take over the position of the head of the family, you can promote our Sixth Fang more. I sincerely hope that you can If I take the title of head of the house and let the child in Mrs. Li's belly inherit it or let Huo Laoqi take over, I am afraid that the six families will not have peace."
After hearing this, Huo Yanzhou narrowed his eyes in interest: "How are you sure If it were me, I would definitely let you Sixth House stand up."
"You will." Huo Mingchen's eyes were particularly firm and he reminded: "Ninth brother, you should not have forgotten that Mrs. Li fell. When Lou had a miscarriage, only my mother stood up to speak for you."
"So you, the sixth brother, should be lucky that your sixth aunt is here, so you are safe and sound." Huo Yanzhou said in an extremely cold tone.
Huo Mingchen's mouth formed a straight line, and he had nothing to say.
But he still lowered his head, and his words were pleading: "Ninth brother, I promise to stand by you this time and support you to get the position of head of the family as soon as possible. Please agree to this condition of mine, can you?"< br>
Huo Yanzhou stared at him sadly.
At this moment, Chen Jin's voice sounded in the entrance hall: "Young lady, you are here."
Hearing that it was Xiang Xuan, Huo Yanzhou's solemn expression instantly became gentle, and he stood up It's over.
When Huo Mingchen looked at Huo Yanzhou's changes, he was so surprised that he paused.
Xiang Xuan walked in, and Huo Yanzhou had already walked in front of her.
Although Huo Mingchen had seen Xiang Xuan's photo, when he saw it in person, he was almost certain that there was a big difference between the photo and the person.
The real person has more aura. He had an inexplicable misconception that her aura was very similar to that of Lao Jiu.
"Have you eaten yet?" Huo Yanzhou asked.
"Well, you go on, I'm going in." As he spoke, Xiang Xuan looked at Huo Mingchen deeply.
Several brothers and sisters of the Huo family basically appeared at her engagement party.
It was just a one-sided relationship.
Huo Mingchen stood up and showed a kind smile: "This is the ninth younger brother and sister, right? Ninth younger brother, why don't you bring the ninth younger brother and sister over to chat together?"
"No." Huo Yanzhou refused coldly, " It’s very late. It’s time for us to rest. Myna, you can go back.”
Huo Mingchen looked slightly embarrassed. He looked at the two of them and finally nodded in disappointment: "Okay, let's meet at the old house tomorrow. You guys have a good rest."
Xiang Xuan nodded slightly and said nothing. .
As soon as they left, Huo Yanzhou said: "I said there is no need to be so polite to the Huo family, they don't deserve it."
Xiang Xuan looked at him, "I'm quite polite to you, then There's nothing wrong with reciprocity."
"The Huo family doesn't understand what reciprocity is, they only know how to trade with each other," Huo Yanzhou said lightly.
Which wealthy family didn't come here like this?
She has long been accustomed to strange things.
“Only money in this world doesn’t lie.” She said.
——
Huo Mingchen returned home.
Huo Liuye had been waiting for his son to come back. When he saw him coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen Huo Yanzhou?"
"Yes."
"Then you follow Has he talked about it?"
"Even if I don't speak first, he knows what I'm going to say." Huo Mingchen looked lifeless.
Seeing this, Mr. Huo Liu's shoulders slumped instantly, "It looks like you haven't concluded the conversation yet."
"Dad, Ninth Brother must still be worried about what happened two years ago. He must hate more than just our family. And I can see that when he comes back this time, there will definitely be a big fuss. Civil strife in the Huo family is not far away."
"Because of this, we have to show our sincerity to him even more. Otherwise, when he becomes the new head of the Huo family, wouldn't we all be doomed!" Mr. Huo Liu said anxiously. "Do you think it's true what he said about a new heir? That's impossible. In the heart of the old family leader, Huo Yanzhou has always been the chosen one."
Huo Mingchen frowned and asked in confusion. : "Then why do people in my hometown do this?"
"Not just to stimulate Huo Yanzhou back, Huo Yanzhou was the first to object when Mrs. Li married in. How could he allow the child in Mrs. Li's belly to become the heir? As for Huo Shijin, it was even more impossible. ” Mr. Huo Liu’s head hurt more and more as he talked.
After hearing this, Huo Mingchen knew what he was thinking and comforted his father: "Dad, don't be so unfounded. We have to wait until tomorrow's family dinner to discuss everything. The old master's thoughts change every day, so we can't make such a conclusion yet. If it really doesn’t work.”
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Huo Liu already knew what was going on.
He narrowed his eyes and said: "If it doesn't work, we can only ask your mother to come forward and talk to Huo Yanzhou. I don't believe that Huo Yanzhou will even refuse your mother."
Xiao Shi on the second floor listened. After that, he went upstairs quietly and quickly looked for his mother.
