Yuchi Lei, you bastard...

…

The sky darkened slightly.

While driving, Ji Shuyu wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and cursed Gu Xiuyuan a thousand times in her heart.

He Wanyan glanced at her blushing aunt and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Coming out of the mall, she saw her sister's car and wanted to take a ride so she could chat with her about family matters. She knew she was under some pressure recently, but she never expected to see her sister and Gu Xiuyuan kissing passionately when she opened the door.

"Xiao Yu, I picked out a bag for you. It's perfect to match the gift your brother gave you." In order to avoid embarrassment, He Wanyan broke the silence first.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." She could understand her sister-in-law's kindness, but her face turned even redder.

"Xiao Yu, there's actually nothing to be embarrassed about." She smiled.

After going through so many ups and downs, it is reasonable for the young couple to control their emotions.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but when she did, Ji Shuyu became even angrier. "Gu Xiuyuan, you bastard!"

Looking at her blushing cheeks like a little girl, He Wanyan couldn't help laughing.

When the car stopped in the yard, He Wanyan handed her her lipstick and asked her to touch up her makeup. She also helped her with her hair, then smiled and said, "Well, there's no problem now."

The Huo family had been bustling for several days, and the happiness of having children and grandchildren around them had slightly diluted the impact of the old injury.

After dinner, Huo Shaoqian gave the customized necklace to his sister.

This rare and precious blue diamond was bought at an auction a few months ago. Huo Shaoqian specially asked a famous foreign designer to design a necklace for his sister.

"It's so beautiful." Ji Shuyu admired sincerely, "I'd better give it to my sister-in-law!"

Since she returned home, her brother has been giving her gifts of all sizes, and she has never refused any of them.

But this gift is precious and special...

"This is a gift from your sister-in-law and me. The style was chosen by your sister-in-law." Huo Shaoqian smiled. "Besides, this is the most precious thing to your sister-in-law!" He patted himself as he spoke.

“…”

Ji Shuyu listened and looked at He Wanyan, and the aunt and sister-in-law burst out laughing.

"Brother, isn't it really weird to say this out loud?" Ji Shuyu suppressed his laughter.

Huo Shaoqian smiled and looked at his wife in his arms: "Is it strange?"

He Wanyan pretended to think, "Strange...right."

Seeing her husband's threatening look, He Wanyan changed her words temporarily.

They have been living here recently, and at night the children all go to the main house to stay with their grandparents, so Young Master Huo is a little undisciplined.

Young Master Huo was satisfied with his wife's "understanding". If she was sensible, she must be rewarded well.

As it got dark, the couple returned to their villa.

Ji Shuyu put away the gift her brother gave her, and she saw the bracelet with the words "Heart Words" in the jewelry cabinet.

That was the one Gu Xiuyuan gave her four days ago. She had broken it once before, but Gu Xiuyuan later repaired it and gave it to her.

Now it looks inconspicuous among many expensive jewelry, but it has always been her favorite.

Pick it up gently and put it on your wrist.

Gu Xiuyuan called at this time, she glanced at it and didn't answer.

"You promised to have dinner with me."

'I'm not really familiar with Yuchi Lei'

'Honey, answer the phone!'

Ji Shuyu ignored him and fell into a sound sleep after having a video call with Mu Ran.

…

In the next few days, Ji Shu was busy with his own brand.

Huo Shaoqian picked her up from work and dropped her off after get off work every day, and every time Gu Xiuyuan could only watch his beloved little woman being taken away.

The Huo family did not express any clear means of opposition, but their actions were actually hindering his approach.

It was the weekend when Gu Xiuyuan came to visit.

He changed into a nice and decent outfit and even checked every strand of hair carefully to make sure there were no gifts before he rang the doorbell with the gift in hand.

The person who came to open the door was the Huo family's new housekeeper.

Two months ago, the Huo family bought a house and a large sum of resettlement money for the old housekeeper and sent him home to live out his retirement.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm here to visit Mr. Huo." Gu Xiuyuan said gently and reasonably, "My last name is Gu."

Of course the butler knew who 'Gu' was, and he was no stranger to Gu Xiuyuan either.

"Neither sir nor madam is available. Please come back another day!"

The butler had no intention of opening the door, obviously having received instructions.

"Thank you. I'll wait a moment." He nodded, and without making things difficult for the housekeeper, he stood aside obediently.

The butler didn't know what to say for a moment, and shook his head helplessly and walked away.

It was already late autumn, and it was a bit cold after standing outside for a long time. He stood there motionless, waiting for the Huo family to "come back".

…

Huo Shaoqian's video conference lasted until the afternoon.

The company's focus has now returned to domestic development, but many businesses still have considerable dealings with foreign countries.

Recently, a company from Country M has been looking for partners in China. Many large domestic companies are vying for it, and they are no exception.

Looking at her husband's expression, He Wanyan knew that this meeting did not produce a satisfactory result.

"Isn't everything going well?" He Wanyan rubbed his temple.

They said they were trying to cooperate, but now they don’t even know who the other party is.

"It is said that Mr. G is Chinese, but he has severe mysophobia and doesn't like socializing, so not many people have seen him."

"Then don't think about it for now." He Wanyan took the cup and fed him a sip of water. "Just now, the housekeeper said that there are guests visiting and they have been waiting outside. I want to know what you think."

Needless to say, Huo Shaoqian knew that the person coming was Gu Xiuyuan.

"I didn't hear what my parents said about the guests visiting me!"

He Wanyan sighed helplessly.

Although he and Gu Xiuyuan were in different circles, they were of similar age and could exchange friendly greetings when they met. He even felt a sense of sympathy for Gu Xiuyuan, as they both shared the same unhappy family situation.

"Then you can't leave him out here!" He Wanyan said, "If this gets out..."

"Even if the news gets out, it's not the fault of my Huo family."

“…”

He Wanyan was speechless for a moment.

"You suffered so much from your brother-in-law, and you want your brother-in-law to have a taste of it too?"

Huo Shaoqian choked, grabbed the little woman who couldn't tell the inside from the outside and kissed her fiercely, and at the end he even bit her lips.

ah--

He Wanyan cried out softly, then hit him in dissatisfaction.

"How can they be the same?" Huo Shaoqian asked angrily.

"Xia Mei and Gu Bin made mistakes, but the child is innocent!" He Wanyan said, "Actually, it's not easy for Gu Xiuyuan."

"Why are you speaking for him?" Huo Shaoqian squinted.

"My sister-in-law has already done it, so I have to help her!"

"Ha! Just a sister-in-law bought you off?" Huo Shaoqian frowned, "Xiaoyu is my relative."

"I spoke up for Gu Xiuyuan because I felt sorry for her!" He Wanyan said patiently. "Xiaoyu loves him so much. If she knew he was locked outside in the cold, she would be so heartbroken."

“…”

"Hubby, I actually have something to say. How can you not be angry when you hear it?"

"If I get angry, will you be responsible for putting out the fire?"
