Chapter 276: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (22)

Now that you have decided to get married, meeting the parents becomes a priority.

Huo Shichu had met the Buddhist elders before. Although they had not had much interaction, he had never heard of anything bad about them. People in their family were relatively low-key.

As soon as Huo Shichu and Fo Baijian arrived at the gate of the old Buddhist residence and got out of the car, they were greeted by the smiling old lady Fo and held her hand.

Although Madam Fo is called the Old Lady, she is actually around sixty years old. Because she takes good care of herself, she looks only around forty years old. The name of the Old Lady makes her sound old.

"This is Shi Chu, right? Oh, you're so handsome and likable! Why didn't Bai Jian, that silly boy, bring you back earlier..."

Madam Fo said to Huo Shichu with a smile, enthusiastic and kind, and it seemed that she really liked Huo Shichu.

Mr. Fo couldn't approach his daughter-in-law, so he could only follow behind his wife, looking at Huo Shichu with a smile on his face, full of joy, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Huo Shichu.

"Mom, let Shi Chu go into the house first. She is pregnant and can't stand for long." Fo Baijian said.

"What? Shichu is pregnant?!" Madam Fo grasped the key point sharply, looked at Huo Shichu in disbelief and asked, then looked at her belly carefully, suppressed her excitement and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?" She was afraid that if her voice was a little louder, it would scare away the good news.

"It's true." Huo Shichu smiled and gave an affirmative answer.

Suddenly, Madam Fo opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth like a child, and turned around a few times.

Mr. Fo quickly embraced her, fearing that she would faint, but he was also so excited that his face turned red. He did not forget to say to Huo Shichu: "She is just too happy. I'm sorry to embarrass you. You are in a heavy body. Go home and rest..."

Madam Fo finally calmed down from her ecstasy and tried to help Huo Shichu in carefully. Huo Shichu was a little helpless: "Madam, don't worry, I'm in good health and don't need help."

"Ah, I'm too nervous..." Mrs. Fo said embarrassedly.

After talking for a while, they finally entered the living room.

This old Buddhist house was built several generations ago. It is in the Chinese courtyard style. The wooden furniture is simple and elegant, and the various furnishings are exquisite, precious, and heavy, showing the family's heritage everywhere.

Even though Madam Fo is not young anymore, she is still very charming and elegant. It is obvious that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Mr. Fo is tall and handsome. His age has not only not diminished his handsomeness, but has instead increased his mature charm.

Whether in terms of body shape, appearance, or temperament, he looked very similar to Fo Baijian. When Huo Shichu saw him, it was like seeing Fo Baijian thirty years later. The feeling was a bit subtle.

"Hurry up and sit down. Don't get tired." Madam Fo urged, and she did not forget to scold her son, "Why didn't you tell us about Shi Chu's pregnancy earlier so that I could have the servants prepare food and supplies for the pregnant woman? Now it's too late..."

Fu Baijian couldn't help but touch his nose and said, "I just wanted to tell you in person and give you a surprise, didn't I?"

"It's indeed a surprise, and a double happiness. It's not too late to ask Shichu to prepare the things he needs now. We must not let him suffer any injustice." Mr. Fo said happily, and his eyes were particularly kind when he looked at Huo Shichu.

Then he did not forget to give Fo Bojian a "well done" look, praising him for his quick action. His wife and children came into being as soon as he said so. He was indeed a son with strong execution ability!

Madam Fo kept asking about Huo Shichu's well-being, fearing that she had been wronged, but she did not mention any other members of the Huo family. It was obvious that she had asked Fo Bojian about Huo Shichu's affairs in advance and avoided topics that would make her feel uncomfortable. She was obviously very considerate.

Huo Shichu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before she came, she thought that even if the old couple were not the kind of people who would be sarcastic to their daughter-in-law, they would at least be cold and distant, as was the case with wealthy families. But she never expected that they would be so amiable. Not only did they not make things difficult for her, but they were very kind to her.

Knowing that she was pregnant before marriage, he did not despise her, nor did he think that she wanted to use the pregnancy to gain status as a mother and to help Fu Baijian marry into a wealthy family. Instead, he was very happy about her pregnancy and accepted it without hesitation, without the slightest suspicion.

Although Huo Shichu didn't care much about what Fo Baijian's parents thought, and had only wanted everyone to keep to themselves, she was a little flattered now that they were so nice to her. After all, feeling the kindness and love of others towards her, even someone as cold and indifferent as her would be happy.

Therefore, Huo Shichu, who was in a very good mood, couldn't help but look much gentler in the eyes when he looked at Fo Baijian. Old Madam Fo saw it and thought that the couple had a very good relationship. She couldn't help but express her affection and love to him with her eyes.

How could she not be happy as a mother when her son and his wife were loving and sweet, and there was going to be a new family member soon? Mrs. Fo was so happy that she wanted to use a loud speaker to announce to the world that she had a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and that she would soon have grandchildren!

"Since you have decided to get married, we need to start preparing for the wedding. Shi Chu, what do you think? No matter what kind of wedding you want, we will satisfy you and will never let you have any regrets!" Madam Fo promised very domineeringly.

Huo Shichu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't rush the wedding. I plan to wait until the baby is born before doing it. Let's get the certificate first."

"Great! Do whatever you want. If you hold the wedding later, you will have more time to prepare and you don't have to rush. You can take your time to design the ring and wedding dress. You will be the most beautiful bride then, and your children will be able to witness their wedding. How meaningful that is." Old Lady Fo had already imagined the adorable scene of a chubby baby attending his parents' wedding with a smile on his face.

When Huo Shichu saw that she attached so much importance to the wedding, he cooperated well and expressed his preferences for the wedding. He was not perfunctory and mentioned what kind of wine and flowers to use. Madam Fo not only did not find it troublesome, but was very satisfied. She also asked the servants to write down all her requirements.

This time when they met the parents, both sides were very satisfied with each other. Huo Shichu and Fu Bojian stayed in the old house for a few days before returning to her small house.

In fact, Mr. Fo gave her a large villa in Yage Garden and wanted them to move in. Huo Shichu agreed. After all, living in a high-rise apartment building does not have as much space as a villa. Of course, it would be better to live in a villa when the child is born.

However, the villa still needs to be re-furnished, so it will take some time before we can move in.

On a sunny morning, Huo Shichu and Fo Bojian went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate and finally became a legitimate couple.
