"Miss Jiang, the reason Mr. Huo is late is because..." Wen Qing wanted to help explain, but was warned by Huo Siyan's fierce glare, so she could only obediently shut up.
Who would have thought that Mr. Huo, who is always punctual, would be late because he was picking out clothes?
Two hours ago.
Wen Qing drove ahead to pick up Huo Siyan, but he was stunned as soon as he entered the door.
Huo Siyan, who has never been interested in clothes, stood in front of the wardrobe, picking and choosing, but still couldn't make up his mind.
However, he always wore black and gray clothes, so it was really not easy to pick out something different.
Therefore, Huo Siyan ordered someone to send over a large pile of clothes, which filled the entire room.
Unfortunately, these clothes still didn't satisfy Mr. Huo; he spent a long time choosing but couldn't find anything he liked.
Wen Qing glanced at the time and couldn't help but ask tentatively in a low voice, "Mr. Huo... still no one you like?"
"Which one do you think looks better?" Huo Siyan asked expressionlessly.
"Hmm... I think these clothes are all very nice. President Huo would look good in any of them."
Needless to say, Mr. Huo is a natural clothes hanger with a model's figure; he looks good in anything.
What should I wear when meeting my partner's parents?
Wen Qing's lips twitched a few times: "Meeting the parents is indeed a rather formal occasion... so why don't you wear a suit?"
"Wouldn't that seem too serious?"
"Then how about wearing something more casual?"
"Won't that make people feel like we're not taking it seriously enough?"
"...That..."
And so, he spent the whole morning helping President Huo pick out clothes.
After much deliberation, Mr. Huo finally chose one of his usual outfits.

Meanwhile, the Shen family, who had been waiting in the hall, also heard the sound of a car outside.
Jiang Qinghe couldn't help but peek out: "Has someone arrived?"
"Outrageous!" Father Shen slammed his cane on the ground several times. "He's late on his first visit! This is simply unacceptable. He clearly doesn't value our Xiao Ran at all."
"Xiao Ran just told us not to make things difficult for him. I want to see just how stunningly handsome this kid is that he can make my sister, who never cares about love, so interested in him." Jiang Qinghe also looked dissatisfied.
Shen Qingwan's expression wasn't very good either. How could someone be late on their first visit?
This is clearly a disrespect to Xiao Ran, and also a disrespect to the Shen family.
I don't know what's gotten into Xiao Ran, how come she suddenly started dating and even got engaged?
She was so worried, so worried that Xiao Ran would be like her back then, impulsively marrying a beast like Jiang Minghui, causing her three children to suffer so much for nothing.
Her little Ran... she suffered so much torment since she was a child, she really didn't want to see her suffer like she did back then.
Xiao Ran used to be such a rational and strong-willed child, how did she become like this after meeting this man?
I need to take a good look at this man who turned my daughter into what she is now!
Everyone exchanged glances and immediately decided, as if on cue, that they must make things difficult for him later!
Jiang Huaijing looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. What... what should he do?
Xiao Ran had given him a task: he had to persuade them not to make things difficult for him today.
Although he didn't know Jiang Ran's reasons for doing this, he believed in her and thought she must have had her reasons.
He also believed that she would never suddenly get engaged to a man just because she was in love, although he didn't know what her reasons were, but he trusted her.
His sister was never one to let herself suffer losses; he simply had to do as she said.
But now...
Looking at the resentful people in front of him, Jiang Huaijing wisely kept quiet.
Sigh... It's not that he doesn't want to help her, but the resentment they have right now could feed the Evil Sword Immortal, so he dares not speak up at this time.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the people in the hall all sat up straight, already planning how to deliberately provoke them later.
However, when Jiang Ran walked in with her people, everyone was stunned.
Everyone's facial expressions were rich and varied, ranging from shock and disbelief to complex emotions...
Jiang Qinghe's expression was the most telling; she couldn't hide the surprise on her face at all.
What happened?
She wasn't seeing things, was she? This...this is Huo Siyan?
How did Xiao Ran get involved with him?
It's obvious that a large family like the Huo family must be even more complicated. She had heard gossip about the Huo family, saying that the three young masters of the Huo family were fighting tooth and nail for the position of heir. If Xiao Ran, who is so innocent, really went to the Huo family, wouldn't she have to live in constant fear?
No! She won't agree!
Even though Mr. and Mrs. Shen were people who had seen a lot, they still couldn't keep their composure when they saw who came in.
Shen Qingwan was filled with worry. She never imagined that Xiao Ran's fiancé would be Huo Siyan.
She originally thought that if Xiaoran really liked him, she wouldn't mind agreeing to their relationship. Now that the company was doing better and better, if she was bullied in the future, the Shen family would be able to protect her.
But... if the target is the Huo family, the Shen family won't be able to protect her if she doesn't have a good life in the future.
Therefore, she absolutely disagrees with this!
Having learned from her experience, she was determined to ensure that her Xiao Ran would live a comfortable and happy life in the future!
When Jiang Ran led Huo Siyan into the hall, she immediately sensed the heavy atmosphere inside.
What's going on?
Why does everyone look so serious?
She subtly gave Jiang Huaijing a look that indicated her doubt, while Jiang Huaijing gave her a look that showed he couldn't help her.
He dared not speak at this moment, besides...
He didn't want to stop them. The moment he saw Huo Siyan, he had already decided not to let Jiang Ran continue to associate with him.
Even if their engagement wasn't based on love, he didn't want his sister to get involved with such a complicated family as the Huo family.
The Shen family is currently no match for the Huo family in terms of strength, and he didn't want his sister to be bullied, but he lacked the ability to protect her.
It would be best to stay as far away from the Huo family as possible.
Therefore, almost everyone in the Shen family looks very unwell right now.
Even Lian Wenqing was taken aback by the scene; it seemed that President Huo had encountered a difficult problem this time.
In such a heavy atmosphere, Jiang Ran could only manage a forced laugh as she spoke, "Mom...Grandpa and Grandma...Let me introduce you..."
“No need for introductions,” Shen Qingwan interrupted her first.
Huo Siyan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for keeping everyone waiting. I really deserve to be punished."
Seeing this, Mr. Shen also spoke up: "Mr. Huo, you are too kind. It's just that... our place is small, and I'm afraid it can't accommodate such a big shot as Mr. Huo."
