Huo Yunze was finally satisfied.
He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the anger on his face had disappeared, and his previous gentle smile returned. He looked at Old Master Sheng with a dignified and noble demeanor, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment. Will you blame me, Old Master?"
Mr. Sheng: “…”
Did this guy learn Sichuan Opera face-changing or something? Why did he get to perform it?
He also maintained a smile and said, "We are family, so what's the big deal? No, of course not."
Huo Yunze breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm glad that the old man doesn't blame me. I was just worried about my Xi'er and couldn't hold back my temper for a moment."
Old Master Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately continued, "Master Huo, that's not right. I also have a sister, so of course I understand how you feel. But as a brother, you're heartbroken, and as a father, I'm heartbroken too!"
"To be honest, even if you don't do anything, as long as I am still breathing, I will not let Xiaoxi suffer any injustice in the Sheng family!"
"I've written down everything these people said and did today, and I won't let any of them off easily!"
Is this taking credit?
If you want to snatch his sister from him, don’t even think about opening the door or even the window!
Huo Yunze smirked: "Grandpa is fair, so I will thank you on behalf of Xier."
Old Master Sheng's smile was even more fake than his: "Hey, what's there to thank me for? Xiao Xi is my biological daughter-in-law. I've watched her grow up. In my heart, she's closer than my own sons and daughters. If I don't protect her, who else can I protect?"
Huo Yunze: "Hehehe."
Mr. Sheng: “Hehehe.”
During the friendly conversation between the two, the Sheng family members who had previously gathered around to toast and apologize turned pale and felt extremely regretful.
While searching his mind for something suitable for an apology at home, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at the elders of the Sheng family and Sheng Mingjiang and others.
snort!
It’s all that old guy’s fault!
If he hadn't been so senior and self-righteous, would they have followed suit and caused trouble?
Now, not only has he completely angered the Third Master, the Eldest Miss, and the Patriarch, but he has also offended the Huo Family!
This time it's clear that there will be a lot of bloodshed!
*
After several consecutive lessons, the troublemakers of the Sheng family were finally subdued, and no one tried to cause trouble anymore.
Although there are no outsiders causing trouble, there are more troubles on our side.
Xie Xihe watched Old Master Sheng and Huo Yunze fight eight times during the family dinner, with a blank expression on his face the whole time.
"Although Xi'er is not my sister from the same mother, she is closer to me than my biological sister."
"Old man, you may have heard that when the Huo family was in turmoil, my grandfather was still young. It was my great-aunt who single-handedly protected the Huo family and my grandfather, and supported my grandfather to the position of head of the family."
"It can be said that our lineage is where it is today thanks to my great-aunt."
"My grandfather once said that if Xi'er wants it, I will give her the position of Young Master of the Huo family, not to mention money and treasures!"
Huo Yunze said this with a look of regret on his face. He couldn't help but sigh and joked, "Before Xi'er came back to the Huo family, I still had some status in the family. But ever since they recognized Xi'er, my grandfather and father only see Xi'er in their hearts and eyes. I, their son, have long been forgotten by them!"
Mr. Sheng: “…”
He laughed and shot back, "Speaking of this, I did think of it. Master Huo probably doesn't know that Xiao Xi is not only my daughter-in-law, but also my savior. Not to mention the position of the head of the family, my life belongs to her!"
"As long as she wants, I, an old man..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" A forceful cough sounded. Sheng Shijing cleared his throat twice and gave the two of them a warning look. "That's enough. Be quiet."
The two were dissatisfied: "We are just chatting about our own business. Why are you meddling in other people's business when you don't take good care of your wife?!"
Sheng Shijing: “…”
Xie Xihe put down his chopsticks, took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, saying, "I'm done eating."
Before the two of them could speak, she looked at Old Man Sheng and said, "My uncle and cousin are still with my dad. I have to go over and see them. I won't be staying here today."
Old Master Sheng's attention was instantly diverted, and he said with a smile, "Of course you should. You can come back home anytime. It's a rare occasion for my uncle to come, so we should treat him well. Go ahead."
Huo Yunze was displeased by this and said with a fake smile, "We are all blood relatives, so why do we need to entertain you? The Huo family is also in Kyoto. We have redecorated your wedding room. You can come back anytime and live here anytime."
Old Master Sheng said, "We are relatives, but we still have to be polite. It's time for our family to formally meet the in-laws. Ah Jing, you can go over and make an appointment with both sides of the family. Let's take some time to have a good meal together."
Huo Yunze: "It's time to eat. Grandpa hasn't been to the Huo family yet, right? How about this? Let's all go to the Huo family for dinner tomorrow so we can get to know each other better."
"Aunt in law, brother in law, sister in law, nephew in law, niece in law, come on, everyone come on..."
Seeing that the two of them were arguing with each other again in just a few words, Xie Xihe no longer knew what expression to use to express his feelings.
Unable to bear it any longer, he hit each of them.
Old Master Sheng and Huo Yunze opened their mouths, but after moving them several times, no words came out. They looked at Xie Xihe with horror on their faces.
Xie Xihe had a deadpan expression on his face: "I see you're all tired from talking, so I'll give you a break. Don't worry, it will automatically resolve in two hours."
They both: “…”
Sheng Yanran had personally experienced the pain of wanting to curse but being unable to. She looked at the two of them with immense sympathy, then thoughtfully pulled out two mints from her pocket and handed them to them: "Here, these are for soothing your throat."
The two of them again: "..."
*
It was several hours later when I returned to the Xie family and finished chatting with the three members of the Huo family.
In Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe’s lair on the 20th floor.
Xie Xihe and Meng Ke sat on the rattan chairs under the awning on the terrace and chatted casually. At the edge of the terrace, Sheng Shijing and Huo Yunze leaned on the railing and whispered something.
Huo Yunze held an unlit cigarette between his index and middle fingers, then took out another and handed it to Sheng Shijing: "What happened in Lun City? Why did you uproot the Caroline family in Lun City?"
Sheng Shijing reached out to take it, but just casually held it in his hand and played with it, saying lightly: "Prying about people you shouldn't be asking about, and having thoughts you shouldn't be thinking about. This is just a small warning."
Huo Yunze looked at his little sister at the end of his sight, his heart moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Then it is indeed time to give her a good warning."
