Chapter 42: Big Fight

"There's something important going on at the company!" Ana Shen wanted to shirk responsibility.

"I've already asked for leave for you."

“…”

It's true that she is not as good as Huo Yunting in calculation.

Ana Shen racked her brains and said, “I’ll go change my clothes.”

"No need, no one cares."

“…”

What he said was true. This time he really couldn't escape. Shen Nanxing wanted to cry but had no tears.

An hour later, the Maybach stopped outside Mingcui Villa.

As soon as he got off the car, Ana Shen heard He Xiaowen’s soft voice, “Yun Ting.”

He Xiaowen came forward with a smile on her face, "Yun Ting, you are finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, especially grandma."

Shen Nanxing accidentally caught a glimpse of He Xiaowen. She was wearing an exquisite dress and had perfect makeup. She looked a perfect match for Huo Yunting when standing next to her.

I couldn't help feeling a little lost again.

He Xiaowen was about to grab Huo Yunting's hand, but he dodged it skillfully. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered.

"Why are you here?" Huo Yunting frowned. Today is a family dinner, why are outsiders coming to join in the fun?

"Of course, it was Grandma and Yunlan who invited me here. They said I was an important guest, and they also said they hoped I would become family." He Xiaowen gazed at Huo Yunting affectionately, "If it weren't for what happened back then, we would have been family long ago."

Cough cough!

Ana Shen deliberately coughed a few times, really thinking she was transparent.

He Xiaowen glanced at Shen Nanxing, a sinister glint in her eyes. She wanted to treat her as air, but she insisted on showing off her presence, so she couldn't blame her.

"Hey, why is she here, Yun Ting, aren't you going to..."

"Nanxing, you're here."

A deep and old voice interrupted He Xiaowen's attack.

Ana Shen stepped forward filially to support Mr. Huo, “Grandpa.”

"Let's go in. I feel like there's a foxy smell in the air." Mr. Huo put one hand on Shen Nanxing's wrist and pulled his silly grandson away with the other hand.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Mr. Huo was referring to something. He Xiaowen rolled her eyes unhappily, "What a fool!"

"Xiao Wen, come in too. It's so windy outside, don't catch a cold."

Mrs. Huo's voice came from the room.

There was deep worry in Ana Shen's eyes. Since she married Huo Yunting, she had not seen Mrs. Huo. It was rumored that she was in poor health and had been recuperating abroad.

She was never seen at any family dinners before, so why did she suddenly come back today?

"It's grandma."

Seeing that someone was backing her up, He Xiaowen deliberately bumped into Ana Shen.

Their eyes met, and they simultaneously restrained all their emotions and looked at Mrs. Huo with obedient faces.

Old Mrs. Huo has gray hair, but there are not many wrinkles on her face.

It looks similar to the few photos hanging on the wall, and it is obvious that it is well maintained.

The more Ana Shen looked at her, the more she felt like she had seen this old lady Huo somewhere.

Old Madam He's eyes swept over the three of them several times, and finally fell on He Xiaowen and He Xiaowen's faces. The two girls' eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar.

He Xiaowen is indeed very beautiful, but compared to Shen Nanxing, she is still far behind.

It was for this reason that Mrs. Huo always suspected and prejudiced that Shen Nanxing had used her appearance to deceive Huo Yunting, causing the two lovers to be unable to get married.

But putting aside this apparent reason, Shen Nanxing's lively eyes always made her, an old woman over fifty years old, hide an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

The disgust on Shen Nanxing's face immediately turned into joy. Old Mrs. Huo looked at her grandson and He Xiaowen and said with a smile: "You two are becoming more and more a perfect match."

Master Huo: "..."

For a moment, Ana Shen felt that she was just an outsider in their eyes.

Mr. Huo frowned, "Nanxing and Yunting are husband and wife. She is an outsider. What nonsense are you, an old woman, saying?"

Huo Yunting, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up at this moment, "Grandma, the one who is supporting Grandpa is the daughter-in-law of the Huo family."

He rarely said something for Shen Nanxing, which made the smile on He Xiaowen's face instantly become stiff.

He was actually refuting grandma's words on behalf of another woman!

In the past, Huo Yunting only had eyes for her!

However, it was not only He Xiaowen who was angry, but also Mrs. Huo Xia Menghua.

"You old man, why are you interrupting me when I'm talking?"

Shen Nanxing was slightly surprised to hear that the relationship between Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo had always been lukewarm, and it was a family marriage that tied two people who did not love each other together.

Looking at it today, it is not lukewarm, but rather tit-for-tat.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, it's rare for us to get together for dinner today, so let's stop arguing. Harmony brings wealth." Huo Yunlan wiped the tiny beads of sweat from his forehead and coaxed them to take a seat.

Mr. Huo was so angry that he muttered, "Why should I be angry? I'm already so rich."

Xia Menghua said with a stern face, "Is this your money? I own half of it!"

Others: “…”

For some reason, Xia Menghua suddenly took out her anger on Shen Nanxing.

"How dare a powerless person come to the Huo family's dinner? How shameless!"

Huo Yunting stopped her: "Grandma!"

"Isn't there a divorce rumor going around? It's been dragging on for so long, maybe someone is trying to get more benefits."

Shen Nanxing has kept his head down since he met Xia Menghua, so as not to bring bad luck to her.

Unexpectedly, her respect and concession were seen by the other party as having other intentions.

Shen Nanxing didn't want to come at all, but Huo Yunting insisted again and again.

At this moment, she could no longer hold back and defend herself, "It's your good grandson who is reluctant..."

"Okay!" Huo Yunting was overwhelmed.

I didn't expect women to be so troublesome when they quarrel.

Xia Menghua couldn't stand anyone saying something bad about Huo Yunting, "What did my good grandson do to you? He's still speaking up for you!"

He Xiaowen also joined the team at this moment, "That's right, Yun Ting is really unlucky to marry you."

The four of them were arguing with each other.

The warm family dinner suddenly turned into a big quarrel scene.

Mr. Huo was so angry that he almost laughed. "Why are you interfering with the couple? Really? In my opinion, Yun Ting is obviously not worthy of Nan Xing."

This was the second time Ana Shen heard similar words. Grandpa was completely on her side, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Only with Grandpa Huo could she feel the warmth from her family.

"Why are you butting in when I'm talking?"

Mr. Huo provoked a fight with his own body, completely attracting Xia Menghua's attention.

The two men, whose combined ages were almost 200 years old, argued for half an hour before calling a truce.

After finally getting to the table, the two guests were still staring at each other.

This family dinner was hosted by Huo Yunlan. She had always disliked Ana Shen, so she was too lazy to put on a show and deliberately arranged her seat as far away from Huo Yunting as possible.

Ana Shen didn't want anything to happen to her anymore, nor did she want to embarrass her grandfather, so she accepted it silently.

Although Mr. Huo was also in a state of rage, he still kept an eye on Ana Shen, the sensitive child.

After realizing that the seating arrangement was inappropriate, he was about to speak when he saw Huo Yunting suddenly stand up.
