Chapter 291: The 8th-tier Little Transparent Hard Controls the New Double Award-winning Actor 21
Watching Mrs. Huo leave, Lin Yi asked.
"Grandma must have been a great beauty when she was young, right? She had such a great temperament!"
Huo Chenyao took Lin Yi's hand and said with a smile.
"Let's talk as we walk!"
Huo Chenyao took Lin Yi's hand and strolled in the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, and began to tell Lin Yi the story of his grandmother.
"My grandmother was a lady from a family of scholars, but she was implicated during the turbulent decade. When she went to the countryside, she was saved once by my grandfather, who was a local soldier. In the end, she married my grandfather, who was not well educated, despite her family's opposition!"
Lin Yi didn't expect that Huo Chenyao's grandfather would be a soldier.
"My grandparents loved each other very much, but my grandfather was injured on the battlefield and suffered from a chronic illness. He passed away before he was forty. At that time, my grandmother was only thirty-three years old. She brought my twelve-year-old father back here. After inheriting the family business, she started doing business and eventually built the Huo family's business empire!"
Old Madam Huo is actually a tough woman. It's just that Lin Yi has never heard Huo Chenyao mention his parents. Just now, when Old Madam Huo ordered people to go home for dinner, she didn't mention Huo Chenyao's parents. Lin Yi wanted to ask, but was afraid of touching on Huo Chenyao's sad things, so she endured it.
"When I was fifteen, my grandmother handed over the Huo family's business to my parents. My parents spent four years to bring the Huo family's business to a higher level. However, when they went abroad to discuss cooperation, they encountered a terrorist attack. At that time, I was nineteen years old, my eldest brother was twenty-six years old, and my second sister was twenty-four years old. My eldest brother, who was still studying, was forced to interrupt his studies and come back to inherit the family business!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi sincerely admired Old Lady Huo.
This old man went to the countryside when he was young, became a widower in middle age, and saw many children die in his old age, but he still managed to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. It is truly rare!
In Mrs. Huo's room, when Aunt Zhang helped Mrs. Huo lie down, Mrs. Huo asked Aunt Zhang.
"Chen Yao's wife, how do you feel?"
"He looks like a reasonable person, with clear eyes and not materialistic. I think he's good!"
Aunt Zhang had served Old Madam Huo for so many years, so of course she knew what she wanted to hear. With just a few words, she touched the heart of her wife.
"The Huo family has come to this point and no longer needs to make a marriage alliance to gain benefits. Chen Yao's parents have lived in a rift for nearly 30 years. This has always been my regret. As for Chen Yao's generation, let them be! I also like this girl Lin Yi. Compared with the calculating and utilitarian girl from the Yan family, she is much more pleasing to the eye!"
After saying this, Mrs. Huo slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Aunt Zhang tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen to watch.
At this time, Lin Yi had already followed Huo Chenyao to the first floor of the library, where there were countless books collected.
"The first floor is full of modern books, the second floor is some ancient books, and the third floor is grandma's treasure cabinet. Since grandma has spoken, don't be polite and choose freely!"
After Huo Chenyao finished his explanation, he pulled Lin Yi to the third floor.
The dazzling array of antique calligraphy and paintings on the third floor made Lin Yi dazzled. There were several of them that Lin Yi had heard experts explain on treasure appraisal programs in her original world, but she never expected to see them with her own eyes.
"Let's just leave these things here! I don't know what to do with them if I take them back!"
Lin Yi was telling the truth. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved, but she would also be troubled when taking it back home. She really didn't know where to put such a valuable item.
Huo Chenyao pulled Lin Yi to an antique dressing table, pointed to a jewelry box and motioned for Lin Yi to open it.
After Lin Yi opened it, she was immediately attracted by the quaint and exquisite ornaments inside.
Looking at Lin Yi's shining eyes, Huo Chenyao knew that he had made the right choice and said seductively.
"You can take them all!"
Lin Yi glared at Huo Chenyao who was causing trouble, and began to appreciate the accessories inside one by one.
Lin Yi looked at the exquisite gold hairpin, the cute earrings, and the crystal clear mutton-fat jade bracelet, and she couldn't let go of any of them.
Huo Chenyao had been observing the changes in Lin Yi's expression. He decisively picked out three pieces of jewelry from the ones Lin Yi had seen, then took out three sandalwood boxes from the drawer of the dressing table and packed them for Lin Yi.
"These things are fine for appreciation, but I won't actually wear them, so why would I need them?"
Lin Yi really liked them and was also surprised at Huo Chenyao's observation skills. She just lingered on those three pieces of jewelry for a while longer, and Huo Chenyao was able to judge how much she liked them.
"Then take it back. When you feel unhappy, take it out and admire it. It's not bad!"
Lin Yi was completely broken by Huo Chenyao's boastful words. Is this how all rich people play?
"Don't worry about it. What you picked is already insignificant in Grandma's treasure cabinet. Just take it! Grandma will be angry if you don't take it!"
After Huo Chenyao finished speaking, he pulled Lin Yi downstairs and took her directly to his room.
"Take a break! If big brother and second sister come back, you won't be able to rest!"
Huo Chenyao saw the tiredness on Lin Yi's face. They hadn't slept much last night. Now, he pressed Lin Yi on the bed and held her in his arms, preparing to take a nap together.
Lin Yi and Huo Chenyao were awakened by Zhang Ma's knocking on the door. Shy Lin Yi felt a little uncomfortable seeing Zhang Ma.
"Second Young Master, the Hanfu you requested has been delivered!"
Aunt Zhang held a gift box in her hand and handed it to Huo Chenyao.
"What do you want Hanfu for?"
Lin Yi asked Huo Chenyao curiously.
"It's not mine, it's for you. Change your clothes and put on the accessories you just picked and show them to grandma."
When Huo Chenyao brought Lin Yi back to the room, he asked his assistant to deliver the Hanfu.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she also developed the desire to wear it.
Lin Yi used her skills as a beauty expert to the fullest, and after getting dressed, she showed them to Huo Chenyao.
Huo Chenyao’s eyes widened.
This is just Lin Yi's simple ancient costume look. If she were to wear complete ancient makeup and hair style, she would definitely reach a new level of beauty.
"I really want to hide you!"
Huo Chenyao said this with a sour look on his face. Huo Chenyao really thought so and now he felt a little regretful for providing Lin Yi with Hanfu just now.
When Huo Chenyao brought Lin Yi to the main hall, Huo Chenyang had already arrived. After seeing Lin Yi, he was stunned by her beauty.
"Sister-in-law, be my model!"
Huo Chenyang recognized at a glance that Lin Yi beside Huo Chenyao was the young wife Huo Chenyao brought back. He grabbed Lin Yi's arm and spoke to her excitedly.
Huo Chenyao saw Lin Yi's confusion and began to explain.
"My second sister is a painter!"
Lin Yi finally understood what Huo Chenyang meant by "model".
"Okay, second sister!"
After hearing Lin Yi's agreement, Huo Chenyang whistled excitedly.
"Try to blow it again!"
A majestic voice came from the door. Huo Chenyang and Huo Chenyao immediately became serious and stood up straight. Lin Yi followed suit and stood upright between the two of them.
