Chapter 141 Good things are coming
Huo Qi Chen looked at her helplessly, and when he saw the various kinds of food on the table, he felt a very moving palpitation in his chest.
The man's mind raced, thinking that she must have gotten up secretly because she didn't want to be discovered. Now that she was caught, how could she not be embarrassed?
He still wanted to tease her a little, so he moved closer and said, "It's your first time celebrating the New Year at the Huo family. Are you nervous?"
Having her thoughts exposed, Jian Mo looked at him vaguely, "No."
Huo Qichen laughed out loud.
He held her tightly, feeling very satisfied.
Grandpa had a very regular schedule and woke up soon after. He seemed to have not expected Jian Mo to get up so soon, so he quickly greeted her and sat down together.
Huo Qichen sat down and said, "Grandpa, Xiaomo made these early in the morning."
Grandpa was surprised, "Xiaomo, this is so amazing, I have to try it quickly."
Jian Mo felt embarrassed when being stared at, "I hope you don't despise me."
A few days before the New Year, she helped the servants prepare New Year's goods. The whole Mingyuan was filled with a lively atmosphere, and she was active in every corner. Grandpa and Huo Qichen sat under the eaves drinking tea, a rare moment of leisure.
Grandpa smiled and said, "Achen, I feel relieved that you have such a wife."
"……grandfather."
"The past cannot be retrieved, so cherish the present. Don't take small things to heart anymore, okay?" Grandpa looked into his eyes and warned him seriously.
Huo Qichen's gaze fell on Jian Mo, who was hanging a lantern not far away, with an ambiguous meaning.
"I see."
At ten o'clock in the evening, hundreds of newspapers, magazines and media companies under the Huo family received a set of photos at the same time, which appeared to be pictures of Huo Qichen and Jian Mo together in Mingyuan.
Only the back.
On the balcony, a woman was working on the computer. Huo Qichen came out and they were very intimate. Then they seemed to have a quarrel. The woman got up and left, and Huo Qichen hugged her tightly in a flattering manner.
The editors were all panicking. What? What? Mingyuan was heavily guarded. The paparazzi must have had tacit permission to take the photos!
Although high-level officials are involved, these photos will probably not be suppressed, and may even be released deliberately!
Curiosity grew layer by layer, and the secretariat received countless inquiring calls that night.
They responded: Go ahead and spread the news, this person is Huo Qichen’s real girlfriend.
The exaggerated words and photos were released, causing a huge uproar.
Most people had a clearer judgment in their hearts. Rumors like this were unacceptable. The blatant release of photos and PR articles must have been a sign of trouble for the Huo family.
The secretary dared to ask Huo Qichen if she would be angry if he unilaterally announced Jian Mo's existence.
Huo Qichen smiled, his achievements and fame concealed. "She won't know."
Yes, Jian Mo doesn’t like surfing the Internet. Even if she needs a computer for work, she never browses gossips. She is a person who ignores the noise.
That's fine. The internet was full of people with different opinions and spitting, like a Rashomon Shura field. This kind of environment was not suitable for Jian Mo.
However, Huo Qi Chen forgot one thing: Jian Mo did not go online, but the people around her did.
"Oh my God, Xiaomo, I watched the news today, guess what I saw." Xiao Chen yelled on the phone.
"What?"
"I saw the news about Mr. Huo's relationship! The back of that photo looks so familiar, it looks like you!"
Jian Mo was chewing an apple and choked when she heard this, "... Stop joking."
"Really? I'll send it to you."
"The press releases are all identical. All the Huo-affiliated media outlets are out in force, right?"
Jian Mo just took a look on the computer, and sure enough, the news had already made the headlines.
She held her forehead with a headache. Huo Qichen had gone out and had not returned yet, so she couldn't find anyone to settle the score with.
Is he going to announce this to the public?
On New Year's Eve, Mingyuan was extremely lively.
Jian Mo pulled Huo Qichen to paste Spring Festival couplets at the door early in the morning. He was tall and could paste it easily. He turned his head and asked her if the angle was right.
She looked at it carefully for a moment, "Hmm... a little to the left, yes, that's it."
Aunt Liu was watering the flowers and said to Grandpa cheerfully, "Achen hasn't put up Spring Festival couplets in the old house for so many years. Only Xiaomo can change him."
Huo Qichen was about to withdraw his hand, a little dissatisfied: "Aunt Liu, I was busy in previous years, you said it as if I was lazy."
"Of course not. You are busy every year. Fortunately, you are willing to listen to Xiaomo this year." Aunt Liu looked at Jian Mo and gave her a thumbs up.
Jian Mo was a little embarrassed and her face was a little red. At this time, her grandfather waved to her, "Come here, Xiaomo, this is the red envelope that grandpa gave you, the New Year's money, keep it."
The red envelopes were thick and looked very valuable. Jian Mo quickly rejected them, "This is inappropriate. I'm too old to ask for New Year's money."
"Why is it inappropriate? No matter how old you are, you are still a junior in my eyes. What's more, you are a new daughter-in-law. Why can't I accept it? Take it quickly and don't be polite with me." Grandpa forced it into Jian Mo's hand.
She glanced at Huo Qichen, who nodded at her, meaning she could take it.
When there were only two people left, Jian Mo whispered, "It's too much. How about I give it back to you?"
Huo Qichen laughed grimly: "You can keep what your grandfather gave you."
"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite." Seeing that he didn't comment, she felt at ease and put the red envelope away.
After breakfast, Jian Mo went to see her father. He was living very well in Mingyuan. The servants took better care of him than the caregivers, and she could visit him at any time. She was very grateful to Huo Qichen for this.
"Dad, can you feel it? The Huo family treats me very well, don't worry." In front of the bed, Jian Mo held his father's hand and said a few words of family conversation, "Wake up soon. Huo Qichen's grandfather is old and very lonely. He will be very happy if you can wake up and talk to him. He asked me last time what you did for a living before you fell ill. I was so proud and said that my father was a good doctor who had practiced medicine for many years."
"By the way, do you know that Huo Qichen's father died a long time ago? He was a very cold person. It would be great if you could care about him as a father."
After a series of words, the servant came in and knocked on the door, "Madam, the car is ready downstairs, it's time to set off."
Today is New Year's Eve, and Huo Qichen and others are going back to the Huo family ancestral hall to offer sacrifices. It is no secret that Jian Mo is Mrs. Huo, so naturally she will go with them.
"Coming." Jian Mo stood up and walked out. He didn't see the person on the hospital bed and moved his fingers silently.
She returned to her room and chose a suitable outfit, then put on the bracelet her grandfather had given her. The people in the Huo family might not accept her as the new bride, so she had to have something to keep the situation under control.
During the more than two-hour journey, Huo Qichen spoke very quickly, telling Jian Mo some of the history and people of his family, to ensure that she would be mentally prepared to deal with it, or in other words, even if he was not there, she could handle it on her own.
He also made it clear: "Jian Mo, I not only want you to remember, but also to execute it."
Jian Mo heard the deep meaning and weight of it.
Huo Qi Chen rubbed the ring on his ring finger, rubbing it to feel the warmth, and gradually getting used to the feeling of wearing the ring.
