Huo Junyang shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
The Fu and He families have some ancestral connection. It is said that when the two families came to Manchester together at the beginning of the last century, they forged a deep friendship.
Later, during the war, the older generation of the He family shielded the older generation of the Fu family from bullets, thus saving their lives.
After the older generation of the Fu family became successful, they wholeheartedly helped the older generation of the He family to also become successful.
And so this friendship has continued to this day.
"That's not all." Huo Junyang chuckled. "Some of my grandmother's relatives also used marriage alliances with the He family to create a powerful alliance, making them virtually invincible in Manchester's venture capital industry!"
As he spoke, he spread his arms and made a gesture of sweeping away thousands of troops.
Jiang Mianmian was amused, but when she looked up, Huo Junyu's face remained deep and calm, without any expression.
"Hey, Little Yuzu!" Huo Junyang joked again, "There are many boys from the Fu family clan who came with Grandma this time. They are all handsome and intelligent. Do you want to..."
Ouch!
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched on the head again.
Huo Junyu glared at him coldly, looking like he wanted to devour him.
"Uh... anyway, I've delivered the message!" Huo Junyang rubbed his head as he ran out. "Grandma's arriving in Yangcheng the day after tomorrow! Huo Junyu, go pick her up!"

Fu Xiuyu's welcome banquet was held at the Minghuang Hotel.
News of her arrival in the central city spread quickly, and many wealthy businessmen and political figures tried to get a ticket to the welcoming banquet.
However, Huo Zhixing had already made it clear that apart from the four major families and the Lu family, no one else would be received.
Although Fu Xiuyu is old, her imposing presence is as strong as ever, and she exudes a subtle sense of pressure as soon as she enters the hall.
Jiang Can happily went to greet her and affectionately called out, "Mom!" Fu Xiuyu gave her a big hug, and the two walked inside hand in hand like a mother and daughter, completely ignoring Huo Zhixing, who was still standing behind them with his arms outstretched...
To suppress their laughter, Huo Junyu and Huo Junyang could only dart their eyes around, avoiding looking at their father.
"Brother, Dad's really pitiful... I heard that Grandma never treated him like her own son, but treated Mom like her own daughter!"
Huo Junyu was about to join his brother in mocking their father when he suddenly remembered his own predicament.
When Aunt Sang Qing came last time, didn't she say that Mianmian was her niece and he was just her nephew-in-law?
And judging from the current situation, Mom clearly feels more sorry for Mianmian than for him!
Is this the inescapable fate of the Huo family men—once they have a wife, they immediately become outsiders?
"Brother, what are you spacing out for? Mom and Dad are calling us!"
"Oh...oh!" Huo Junyu snapped out of his daze and instinctively reached for Jiang Mianmian's hand, only to grab a large, rough hand instead. Looking up, he met Huo Junyang's utterly dejected gaze...
Huo Junyu was so frightened that he quickly let go. The two brothers shook their hands vigorously at the same time, while Jiang Mianmian and Lu Ran stood aside laughing non-stop.
Before long, the two pairs of them stood together in front of Fu Xiuyu.
Fu Xiuyu was overjoyed to see that her two beloved grandsons had found their life partners. She grabbed Jiang Mianmian and Lu Ran by the arms and made them link arms with her.
Huo Junyang's outstretched hand froze in mid-air as he forced a smile: "Brother, shouldn't Grandma have stopped us?"
Huo Junyu smiled and said, "Just accept your fate..."
"What?"
"From now on, we are no longer Grandma's grandsons, but granddaughter's husbands!"
Jiang Mianmian didn't expect her meeting with Fu Xiuyu to go so smoothly. However, walking beside this kind yet dignified grandmother, she was still a little nervous, afraid that she might do something wrong and upset the old lady.
So she was very careful with every step she took. When Fu Xiuyu introduced the clan members she brought to the two of them one by one, Jiang Mianmian carefully remembered them so that she wouldn't make a mistake in the future.
“Some of them are distant relatives of the Fu family,” Fu Xiuyu told her with a smile, “but they are quite capable!”
"You'll see later. When Grandma hires people, she doesn't care about anything else, not even their background. As long as they have good character and are willing to improve, I'm willing to help them!"
Jiang Mianmian nodded and smiled at her.
The Fu family had both boys and girls, and young people always had endless topics to talk about. In addition, they were all familiar with Huo Junyu and Huo Junyang, so Jiang Mianmian quickly integrated into their group.
Just as everyone was having a great time talking, someone walked into the hall.
The atmosphere paused slightly. The girl ran up to Fu Xiuyu, gave her a hearty hug, and laughed broadly before apologizing repeatedly.
"I'm so sorry, Grandma Fu! I just arrived in Yangcheng and wanted to wander around, so I slipped out of the hotel... Who knew I was in such an unfamiliar place and only just got back now!"
"I'm so sorry for taking up so much time!" the girl said, turning to everyone. "But don't worry, I'll definitely punish myself with three drinks later, as a way of making amends!"
Jiang Mianmian looked her up and down.
The girl possesses a flamboyant beauty and dresses with great individuality. She wears her long hair in a high ponytail and doesn't wear formal dresses to banquets. Instead, she wears a denim mini-skirt and long boots, making her stand out in the crowd.
Fu Xiuyu smiled faintly, said nothing else, and led her to Jiang Mianmian.
“She is He Sirui, the youngest daughter of the He family.” Fu Xiuyu looked at her. “You two are about the same age… so you should have a lot in common.”
After saying that, Fu Xiuyu went off to socialize elsewhere, accompanied by Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing.
Once the elders left, the younger generation relaxed, listening to music, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
