Chapter 160 Lu Family Banquet
After walking out of the old man's study, Huo Yunzheng was about to go back, but was stopped by Huo Shan.
They are obviously father and son, but when they stand together, awkwardness spreads.
The look in Huo Yunzheng's eyes when he looked at Huo Shan did not show any dependence or respect of a son for his father, and Huo Shan did not show the kindness that a father should have towards Huo Yunzheng.
"Don't make your grandfather angry. If you really make him angry, do you still want to keep the power of the group?"
Huo Yunzheng just found it ridiculous. In his heart, his only value was to be able to take over his grandfather's position and control the Huo family so that he could live a rich, stable and leisurely life.
"I've said it before, if grandpa doesn't agree with my marriage, I will break off relations with the Huo family."
"stupid!"
Huo Shan's face was filled with obvious anger. "She's just a woman, is that why you are like this? Are you going to break up with your family?"
"Didn't you also make a fuss for a long time when you insisted on marrying my stepmother?" Huo Yunzheng looked at him with contempt, "Didn't I learn all this from you?"
When Huo Shan wanted to marry Shi Shi as his second wife, she cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. The old man was so angry that he fell ill for several days.
"Shi Shi and I are in love with each other. Besides, there is no conflict between her family and the Huo family!"
Huo Yunzheng nodded, "Yeah, we are in love."
I don’t even realize how green the hat on my head is.
"Dad, let me kindly remind you, don't always think about fishing. The person you trust the most may be the one who betrays you the most."
He has made his words very clear. It is up to him whether he listens or not.
Huo Yunzheng didn't want to get involved in what happened between them, it was unnecessary.
"Find a reason to divorce that woman surnamed Jing. Since you don't like Chen Xinru, forget it. There are many girls from good families in Jing City. I can find them for you. Why do you have to go against your grandfather?"
There was already impatience in Huo Yunzheng's eyes. Chu Chu had already felt wronged for following him, so why did everyone want to interfere in his marriage now?
"Huo Shan, why are you scolding the child?"
Not far away, Shi Shi came over, as gentle as ever. She took Huo Shan's arm and said softly, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Nowadays, freedom of marriage is advocated. It's not easy for Yun Zheng and Miss Jing to be together. You should stay out of it."
Huo Yunzheng saw through her trick at a glance, followed her words, and said lightly: "You are still considerate of me."
Shi Shi smiled with her lips but did not smile from the inside. In front of Huo Shan, she always acted like a good wife and mother.
Huo Yunzheng didn't want to stay here for another second, so he turned around and left.
"You've spoiled this child!" Huo Shan was a little annoyed. As a father, where would he put his face if his son didn't take him seriously?
"Alright, alright. Yun Zheng is already thirty years old. Don't worry about it. Yun Rui just came looking for you and is waiting for you to play with him."
Speaking of Huo Yunrui, Huo Shan's expression improved. His youngest son was much more sensible than his older son.
"Yunrui has been studying finance in advance recently and it's been very hard for him. You can play with him for a while. He has to take extra classes in the evening." Shi Shi deliberately mentioned Huo Yunrui's serious study performance.
Huo Shan nodded, "Our Yun Rui has grown up and it's time for him to become a useful person. It's all because of your good teaching."
Shi Shi smiled slightly, "With his brother as a role model, Yun Rui will naturally know how to work hard."
"Don't mention this unfilial son to me!"
Shi Shi's eyebrows curved, her heart was full of pride, "Okay, okay, look at you, you are so old, and you are angry with a child."
"He deliberately went against me."
Huo Shan felt depressed. His son had never been close to him since he was young. He was simply an ungrateful person.
……
Near the end of the year, it was the old lady Lu’s 80th birthday.
The old lady loved the hustle and bustle. Lu Yiming's father was a well-known filial son. He held a big banquet and invited relatives and friends to celebrate together.
This was the first time that Qiao Chuchu participated in such an event after moving to Beijing, and as Huo Yunzheng's wife.
Knowing that she was going to attend the banquet, the Jing family prepared a dress and jewelry for their daughter to match the occasion.
Although the Jing family and the Lu family have an average relationship, especially the Lu family is closer to the Huo family, so in recent years, except for some necessary occasions, the Jing and Lu families have not had much private contact. However, the Jing couple still prepared a gift and had their daughter bring it over, as an expression of their thoughts.
Inside Lishui Residence, Huo Yunzheng looked at the things his mother-in-law had sent over and smiled.
"Mother-in-law has better vision than me."
He didn't know much about women's clothing, so he prepared a dress for Chuchu, which was a new designer model of the season.
What Su Yihui prepared for her daughter was a modified Chinese cheongsam.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Su Yihui is fully aware of her daughter's appearance advantages.
If her daughter appeared with Huo Yunzheng, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. As clothes make the man, she would not let her daughter lose face in terms of dressing.
"My parents haven't fully acknowledged you yet." Qiao Chuchu said this deliberately.
He knows how to please people, calling her mother-in-law all the time.
Huo Yunzheng smiled and put his arm around her waist, "It's only a matter of time."
The Lu family's banquet was held at their own home. Because Huo Qi had accepted bribes privately, Old Master Huo asked him to reflect on himself and not to go out, so Huo Jiayuan came on his behalf.
Chen Xinru followed Huo Jiayuan. She was dressed particularly exquisitely tonight and kept her arm around Huo Jiayuan's arm.
Because of her marriage changes during this period, many people have been talking about her behind her back.
Chen Xinru knew it and did care, but in front of outsiders, she had to show her pride.
Those people are just gossiping. After all, she is the future daughter-in-law of the Huo family. No matter whether she marries Huo Yunzheng or Huo Jiayuan, she will be the president's wife in the future.
Just wait and see, these people are just short-sighted, a bunch of frogs in the well, there is no need to bother with them.
"Brother Yiming, long time no see."
Huo Jiayuan took the initiative to greet Chen Xinru. Lu Yiming glanced at him and just nodded slightly.
Huo Jiayuan didn't say much, it was just a formality. Lu Yiming was Huo Yunzheng's childhood friend, and they were like brothers.
After greeting the Lu family, Huo Jiayuan found a few young men he was on good terms with and started chatting with them. Chen Xinru listened from the side, feeling a little annoyed.
"Mr. Huo."
"Good evening, Mr. Huo. Is this the Madam?"
"Hello, Mr. Huo."
There was a commotion in the crowd. Chen Xinru heard someone greeting her and turned around subconsciously.
Huo Yunzheng brought Qiao Chuchu over with him, and instantly, many people's eyes were focused on Qiao Chuchu.
Huo Yunzheng announced to the public that he was married, but did not disclose the specific identity of his wife. However, news came out that Huo Yunzheng married the Jing family's long-lost beloved daughter.
"Yun Zheng is here."
The Lu couple were very happy to see Huo Yunzheng. Old Mrs. Lu was supported by her daughter-in-law and looked at Qiao Chuchu with a smile.
"Xiao Zheng, this is your wife, right? I heard from Yiming that you are married."
Huo Yunzheng nodded. Beside him, Qiao Chuchu smiled and called her grandma according to their seniority.
