All the guests turned to look at Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing. Even though no one wanted to admit it, they all felt that the two were a perfect match.

Many of them thought that given Huo Dongfang's health condition, he might never get married in his lifetime!

"Does the new bride know how to play mahjong?"

Someone greeted Ye Fanxing warmly, and Ye Fanxing smiled shyly and said modestly, "I don't know how to play mahjong."

"If you don't know, we'll teach you!"

When Ye Fanxing said she didn't know how to play mahjong, her relatives invited her to play even more enthusiastically.

Ye Fanxing was stunned for a moment. Playing mahjong at the engagement banquet?

Is this also acceptable?

Mrs. Huo and Grandma Huo assumed that Ye Fanxing was worried about losing money, so the two of them said in unison, "Xingxing, if you win, it's yours; if you lose, it's on us!"

The guests joked, "Oh my, you guys are really spoiling your new bride!"

"New bride, don't be afraid, go ahead and hit, your mother-in-law will back you up!"

"I bet you guys are trying to win money from that new bride, aren't you? Let me tell you, this newbie's luck with cards is pretty good."

And so, Ye Fanxing was forced to sit at the mahjong table like a duck being put on a shelf.

Huo Dongfang was worried that Ye Fanxing would be nervous, so he sat down next to her and put his hand on the back of her chair.

"Stars, hit them all, I'll take care of everything."

It wasn't that Ye Fanxing didn't know how to play, but the way mahjong was played in Beijing was different from the way she had seen mahjong before.

On her very first turn at the table, she scored three goals in one go!

"I won!"

"I won!"

"I won!"

Ye Fanxing was shocked to see the cards her card-playing partners had knocked over.

What kind of luck did she have?

Huo Dongfang quickly paid for Ye Fanxing's bill and affectionately tapped her shoulder with his long, slender fingers.

"Stars, continue."

"This new bride's luck is truly extraordinary!"

"That's right, it's the first time I've ever had a triple win in a single mahjong game!"

Not only were people playing mahjong talking about Ye Fanxing, but even people eating sunflower seeds were whispering about her.

"I heard that Dongfang's new wife is the daughter of one of Dongfang's former comrades-in-arms."

"If Dongfang hadn't gotten into trouble, this new bride probably wouldn't have been able to marry him!"

"The Huo family has very high standards for their new daughter-in-law!"

"It's a pity that this happened in the East... otherwise it would have been a really good marriage."

These people lowered their voices and talked about Ye Fanxing's marriage to Huo Dongfang.

From the beginning, Mrs. Huo and Grandma Huo knew that not everyone would approve of this marriage.

Adding to the fact that the Lu family caused a scene at the Huo family yesterday, Huo's mother and grandmother felt it was necessary to spread the word that Ye Fanxing was Huo Dongfang's fiancée.

This will also prevent the Lu family from having such unrealistic fantasies again.

The Lu family is now an enemy of the Huo family!

Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing were playing mahjong, while Grandma Huo and Mother Huo were busy greeting guests.

Old Lian and Grandma Huo had known each other since they were young. So, for Huo Dongfang's engagement, he naturally got ready early and wanted to come and chat with Grandma Huo.

He specially brought the engagement gift he had prepared for Huo Dongfang when he set off from home.

As we approached the Huo family's residence, we could hear from afar the sounds of several people chatting casually outside the courtyard.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the Lu family couple went to the Huo family and demanded that Huo Dongfang break off his engagement with his current fiancée and instead get engaged to Lu Xiangrong!"

"Have those two from the Lu family gone mad? When Huo Dongfang had his accident, they were quicker than anyone to break off the engagement. Now that Lu Xiangrong is infertile, they're thinking of the Huo family again! I don't know where they get the nerve!"

“That’s right. I heard from my relative who works at the hospital that before Lu Xiangrong had her abortion, she wanted to find Huo Dongfang and ask him to acknowledge the child.”

"Isn't Lu Xiangrong pregnant with a foreigner's child? Why should Huo Dongfang acknowledge it?"

"Even if Huo Dongfang wanted to adopt a child, he wouldn't raise Lu Xiangrong's child!"

"Huo Dongfang isn't stupid. Why would he abandon his young and beautiful fiancée to marry Lu Xiangrong?"

"That young fiancée might not be sincere either. Otherwise, what normal girl would be willing to marry a man who is impotent?"

"To be honest, although Huo Dongfang is impotent, he is top-notch in terms of family background and personal qualities."

Even from a distance, he could hear the people talking, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

His gaze swept over each of their eyes, trying to memorize all their names.

What happened to Huo Dongfang?

He was wounded for his country!

glory!

The reason why these people can sit here peacefully, eating sunflower seeds and chatting is precisely because there are countless soldiers like Huo Dongfang who are risking their lives to defend their country.

As for Huo Dongfang's fiancée's willingness to get engaged to him, is it possible that she genuinely admires Huo Dongfang's heroic spirit?

Those who were chatting quietly fell silent as soon as they saw Elder Lian.

Everyone greeted Elder Lian with smiles and enthusiasm.

"Elder Lian!"

"Elder Lian!"

Even on his old, thin face, there wasn't a trace of a smile.

His cloudy eyes swept over the panicked face in front of him, and he said in a deep voice, "You have objections to Huo Dongfang's engagement?"

"Mr. Lian, we were wrong."

Yes. We were wrong.

Old Lian snorted coldly and said, "If you can't say auspicious words on such a joyous day, then learn to shut up!"

Those who were just making sarcastic remarks are now completely silent.

They were afraid that even the old man would take them seriously.

If the Huo or Lu families heard what they said, they would have offended both families.

"Hey, Lao Lian, you actually came after all?"

When Grandma Huo noticed that Old Man Lian was late, she said she would go and see if he was unwell.

As soon as she stepped out of the hospital, she saw several women from the same courtyard confronting each other.

Even the old man changed his serious demeanor in front of these women, his expression softening as he said, "Sister Xie, congratulations."

Grandma Huo smiled radiantly.

"Old Lian, you haven't met my Dongfang's wife yet. Come on, let me take you to meet her. She's a well-behaved and obedient girl, so sensible that it breaks your heart."

Grandma Huo was always worried that Huo Dongfang would be alone for the rest of his life.

They were also worried that they wouldn't be able to find the "benefactor" that Master Pei had mentioned.

But who could have imagined that fate would arrange things in such a wonderful way?

The meeting between Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang was preordained.

"A girl who can be liked by you so much, Sister Xie, must be a good girl."

"That's right." Grandma Huo was quite proud and sighed for no reason, "We have to thank the Lu family for breaking off the engagement. Otherwise, we in Dongfang would have missed out on such a good girl."

Just as Old Master Lian was about to enter the Huo family home with Grandma Huo, Su Sangeng, carrying an envelope, ran up to Old Master Lian.

Holding up an envelope, he panted, "Old Lian! There's news! They've got news!"
