[Chapter 250 What to do tonight]
Ever since Jiang Yirou returned to China, Lin Yin has been able to see her almost every other day. This is a unique fate.
Lin Yin curled the corners of his mouth and gave Jiang Yirou a faint smile as a greeting.
It didn't matter to Jiang Yirou whether she spoke or not, but in half a second Jiang Yirou's gaze fell on Huo Jingze's face. She looked at him restrainedly for a while before looking away.
Then he looked at Huo Qingyun who was sitting on the sofa and handed him the carefully prepared gift with both hands. "Uncle Huo, I know you love drinking tea and collecting tea sets. I bought this set of Hetian jade tea set at an auction abroad. I hope you like it."
A set of Hetian jade tea set is estimated to be worth several hundred thousand yuan.
Lin Yin came to visit the Huo family, so of course she couldn't come empty-handed. She took out a small white porcelain bottle from her bag, which looked ordinary.
Just as she was about to speak, Huo Qingyun turned his head to look at Jiang Yirou, and his solemn face instantly became friendly.
When he opened the gift box sent by Jiang Yirou, the smile on his face deepened.
The tone of his voice became loving.
"Yirou has always had good taste since she was a child. I like this set of Hetian jade tea sets very much. It would be great if you could become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family and often accompany me to taste tea."
This was no longer a hint, it was almost a clear statement that the person he hoped to marry into the Huo family was Jiang Yirou.
While speaking, he glanced at Lin Yin with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Lin Yin's hand holding the gift hung in the air, and an awkward atmosphere spread in the living room.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huo Qingyun was deliberately trying to be mean to Lin Yin.
Old Mrs. Huo couldn't bear to watch it anymore and was about to speak up for Lin Yin when Huo Jingze spoke slowly in a deep voice.
"Since father doesn't like it, forget it."
He took the white porcelain bottle from Lin Yin's hand, turned around and gave it to the housekeeper standing next to the sofa, explaining, "This is the health pill that Mr. Ni spent a month making personally. It can prolong life and strengthen the body. Uncle Yang, you must keep it well."
Ni Lu's name was well-known, and everyone in the imperial capital knew him. The butler was immediately flattered. He took the gift carefully and was very excited.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!"
The housekeeper covered the porcelain bottle with his hands, feeling very happy.
When Huo Qingyun heard that the medicine was made by Ni Lu himself and could prolong life and strengthen the body, his face changed immediately and he felt extremely regretful.
If he had known that it was Ni Lu who did it, he would definitely have accepted it.
He glared at Huo Jingze angrily, his face turned sour.
This unfilial son, not only did he not remind him, but he actually turned around and gave it to the housekeeper.
What a rebellious son! What a rebellious son!
Huo Jingze didn't care whether he regretted it or not. He took Lin Yin's hand and walked to Old Mrs. Huo and took out a new porcelain bottle.
"Grandma, this medicine is difficult to make. Mr. Ni made five bottles in total. He kept two bottles for himself and gave the remaining three to Lin Yin. She sent one bottle to Uncle Lin. She wanted to give the remaining two bottles to you and father. Father doesn't care about them, so I think you won't mind."
Mrs. Huo took it immediately and smiled. "This is a good thing. How could I dislike it? Although I am old, I am not blind. I am not like some people who cannot tell the difference between fish eyes and pearls."
This statement made a veiled impression on two people at the same time.
Huo Qingyun and Jiang Yirou both looked unhappy.
Jiang Yirou quickly returned to normal and presented Mrs. Huo with a gift with a smile, "I also bought this jade necklace at an auction abroad. I hope you like it."
"I appreciate the kindness, but forget about the gift. Just take it back." Old Mrs. Huo didn't even look at it. She really didn't give him any face.
This girl used her life-saving grace to ask her eldest grandson to be with her, but she turned around and made her grandson lose face.
She really doesn't like it.
Jiang Yirou knew very well that Mrs. Huo had a grudge against her and she didn't expect to get a good response from her. She remained calm and handed the gift to the servant next to her with a smile.
"There's no point in taking back a gift you've given away. If my parents knew about this, they would definitely blame me for not knowing the rules. You should just accept it."
Things had come to this point, and it was difficult for Mrs. Huo to say no. After all, she could refuse Jiang Yirou, but she still had to give face to Jiang Zhenhua and Lan Weiyu.
Madam Huo ordered the servant, "Send it to the warehouse."
She kept the medicine that Lin Yin gave her close to her body.
Dinner was still half an hour away, so everyone was resting in the living room, chatting and watching TV.
Huo Qingyun got up and left the living room, and saw the butler outside the study.
He coughed, "Old Yang."
The butler suddenly had a bad feeling, held the medicine bottle in his pocket tightly, and walked over slowly.
"Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Huo Qingyun coughed again, "You have followed me for so many years, you should know that my health is getting worse year by year..."
The butler understood his hint in a second, and his face instantly fell, "Sir, I'm not feeling well either."
This is the medicine made by Ni Lu himself. Many wealthy and powerful people want it but cannot get it. The housekeeper finally got such a bottle, so of course he is reluctant to give it away.
Besides, it was obviously Huo Qingyun who didn’t want it.
Huo Qingyun looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stopped being reserved and said with a straight face, "That's because I didn't know that Ni Lu did it. Come on, take it out and I'll give you half."
At least there was still half left, so the butler said nothing more and took out the porcelain bottle from his pocket.
Huo Qingyun put it in his pocket like a treasure, a smile immediately appeared on his face, he turned and walked into the study, and put it in the safe.
The Huo family was very lively tonight, with six or seven people eating together around a round table.
The table was filled with delicious food.
Huo Jingze sat next to Lin Yin, whispering in her ear from time to time, and almost never stopped picking up food.
Fish, shrimp and seafood are all carefully processed before being put into Lin Yin's bowl.
Very thoughtful.
Lin Yin seemed to be used to it and was enjoying Huo Jingze's service.
Jiang Yirou sat opposite them, her eyes almost hurting from watching them.
The bitterness surged like an ocean and she felt very uncomfortable.
When she was with Huo Jingze, Huo Jingze would pick up food for her, but most of the time it seemed like a routine rather than a genuine love.
She suddenly regretted coming to the Huo family. The more affectionate Huo Jingze and Lin Yin were, the more uncomfortable she felt.
After dinner, everyone rested in the living room, and the servants brought fruits and desserts.
After a while, there was suddenly lightning and thunder outside the window.
The servant drew aside the curtains and looked in, then said, "There are a lot of dark clouds in the sky. I'm afraid it's going to rain."
As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops fell densely, hitting the windows with a bang.
"It's actually hail!" the servant exclaimed.
Huo Nian ran over and looked through the window curiously, "Wow, it's really hail."
The housekeeper said worriedly, "It's too dangerous to drive when it's hailing. It looks like the young ladies and the young master will have to stay overnight."
Mrs. Huo nodded and told the servants to clean up the room.
Jiang Yirou turned her head to look at the sofa opposite. Lin Yin and Huo Jingze were face to face, seemingly whispering.
There was a dark light in her eyes.
Tonight is a good opportunity, she has to do something
