Jiang Can was slightly taken aback, her pretty face flushed, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm and composed on the surface, maintaining excellent manners.
Huo Wenyuan admired her calm and composed personality.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes," he chuckled. "Anyway, once you marry Zhixing, you'll be the mistress of the Huo family, and the entire family business will be handed over to the two of you. Heh... This old man has been busy for most of his life, and finally I can relax a bit!"
"Grandpa..." Huo Zhixing looked at him in surprise, too happy to speak.
"Why are you making that face?" Huo Wenyuan looked him up and down.
Huo Zhixing smiled and said, "Haven't you always disagreed? I'm proposing to Can Can this time, and I'm thinking of telling you about it in the next couple of days..."
"You little brat!" Before he could finish speaking, Huo Wenyuan's eyes widened. "Who are you saying disagreed?!"
Huo Zhixing's face stiffened: "..."
"Old Cen, did I ever disagree?"
"Of course not, sir!" Uncle Cen seized the opportunity to switch sides. "Third Young Master, you must be mistaken. The old man has always liked Miss Jiang Can and has long considered her his granddaughter-in-law!"
"So, what do you think of my taste?"
"Old Master, when have you ever made a mistake in your judgment? Don't worry, Miss Jiang... oh no, Third Young Mistress will definitely manage the entire Huo family perfectly in the future! You can just wait to enjoy your retirement!"
Huo Zhixing froze, feeling a cold wind blow past, his hair becoming somewhat disheveled.
This old house has the best orientation; were the windows or doors left open?
"Can Can," Huo Wenyuan said, his smile immediately softening after scolding Huo Zhixing, his voice even more gentle. "Grandpa's already full, you two can eat slowly! Heh... I specially hired the new Italian chef today, what do you think of the food?"
Jiang Can smiled sweetly, "It's delicious."
"Then let's keep this chef for now!"
"Grandpa, we already have enough cooks at home," Huo Zhixing said, both amused and exasperated. "We were just saying we wanted to cut unnecessary expenses..."
"This is necessary!" Huo Wenyuan's voice immediately rose eight octaves.
Yes, anything that my granddaughter-in-law likes is necessary!
Huo Zhixing remained silent, quietly picking at the steak on his plate.
He remembered that he had mentioned before that his family had a nice British chef, but his grandfather thought it was unnecessary to keep so many chefs, so he replied, "If you want to eat British food in the future, just go to your maternal grandfather's house!"
And then, that was it.
Huo Zhixing smiled and looked at Jiang Can. Under the warm light, her pretty profile appeared even more delicate. She was also looking at him, her bright eyes filled with his unique image.
Huo Zhixing was especially grateful for the plane crash, which allowed him to find the spirit that had escaped from God's side and come to earth.
...
A few days later, Huo Wenyuan called Huo Zhixing to his study alone.
On the table was an antique-looking box, which Huo Wenyuan gestured for him to open. Huo Zhixing opened it and found a jade plaque inside, of superior quality and exquisite craftsmanship.
Strangely, however, he had never seen it before.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Huo Wenyuan glanced at him and said softly, "It belongs to the Huo family, but it will only be passed on to the housekeeper's wife and not to anyone else."
Huo Zhixing suddenly realized.
“This jade pendant has been with me ever since your grandmother passed away,” Huo Wenyuan explained. “Neither your mother nor Wang Meiyun are good at managing a household, so I didn’t give it to them.”
“But from now on,” he smiled with satisfaction, “I can entrust it to Can Can with peace of mind!”
Huo Zhixing smiled, his face full of pride.
He was about to take it when Huo Wenyuan reached out and blocked him.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Cang Can isn't officially married to you yet, so it's not proper to give her this. You have to wait until the day she enters the house."
"Oh." Huo Zhixing nodded.
Huo Wenyuan sighed softly, lost in thought, "This child is good in every way, except for his background..."
life experience?
Huo Zhixing curled his lips. Although he looked down on Yin Ruohong, and the old man had recently gone crazy, acting as if he were an enemy whenever he saw him, he was still Jiang Can's biological father.
Then let's be a little more tolerant.
There's a saying, "Love me, love my dog."
He composed himself and was about to tell Huo Wenyuan about Jiang Can's background.
However, before he could finish speaking, Huo Wenyuan suddenly looked at him with unwavering determination, "Zhixing, I've decided to find a family for Cancan and have her become a godparent!"
"What?" Huo Zhixing exclaimed in surprise.
"The marriage alliances between the four great families have been passed down through generations." Huo Wenyuan's gaze was complicated. "These are rules left by our ancestors, and we cannot break them under my rule."
"But I really like Can Can, so having her become a godparent is the best choice."
"grandfather……"
"Find her a family with a powerful background, that way she'll have someone to rely on in the future, and it'll also shut people up so no one will dare to talk about her background! What do you think?"
Huo Wenyuan raised an eyebrow, his expression seemingly saying, "Am I smart?"
Huo Zhixing was speechless. "No need, Grandpa, Can Can, she..."
"Of course I need it!" Huo Wenyuan glared. "You may not care about your wife, but I do care about my granddaughter!"
"granddaughter?"
“That’s right!” Huo Wenyuan said confidently. “This child is much better than you bunch of good-for-nothings!”
Huo Zhixing looked completely bewildered.
Is it really a good idea to target such a wide range of people? There's only one spendthrift son, Huo Zhiyan!
Huo Wenyuan shook his head, put the jade pendant away, and gave him a powerful look.
"Anyway, I've already found someone." He said in a deep voice, "The Chairman Yin from Southeast Asia recently treated my illness, and I think he's quite good! Since he's unmarried and has no children, I'll adopt Can Can as my goddaughter! The Yin family's influence shouldn't be underestimated; he can back Can Can up!"
