I was just wondering about Yu Mingsi's abnormal behavior when Mrs. Yan withdrew her hand nonchalantly, tilted her head and looked at me with a smile: "You are Lan Shan, right? You are as beautiful as your mother. I heard that you are friends with Yan Meng?"
I frowned slightly. My relationship with Yan Meng shouldn't be known to everyone in the circle, right?
Also, why did she suddenly mention Yan Meng?
I was confused, and Ming Si answered for me: "Yan Meng was raised by my parents, so he has a good relationship with the Ming family."
Mrs. Yan's expression changed slightly, then she forced a smile and nodded in agreement, "Yes. The two elders of the Ming family take good care of Yan Meng. This is Yan Meng's blessing."
Mingsi ignored her and turned to the other lady and said, "I specially reserved a seat for you over there. Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang are waiting for you!"
Mrs. Fang responded with a smile and pulled Mrs. Yan over.
Seeing that Mingsi's face was still grim, I realized that something was wrong with Mrs. Yan.
Before I could ask, Mingsi pulled me aside and asked, "Do you know who this Huo Hui is?"
My eyes were blank. "Is it Mrs. Fang's friend?"
"She's a distant relative of Mrs. Fang and rarely comes to the capital. But that's not the point." Mingsi's face showed a bit of displeasure. "The point is, she is the concubine that Yan Meng's father, Yan Lirong, married a few years ago!"
I was stunned. No wonder she asked me if I was Yan Meng's friend.
But she is at most Yan Meng's stepmother. Yan Meng has no contact with his biological father. When did his stepmother need to take care of his affairs?
"Did she come to the capital to gain Yan Meng's favor?" I had too many doubts in my mind.
Mingsi shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Yan Lirong is old after all. Huo Hui has been married to him for several years, and only gave birth to a son last year. However, I heard that Yan Lirong has been in poor health recently and has been recuperating at home, but the outside world does not know what illness he has."
"So, Huo Hui came to the capital this time specifically to persuade Yan Meng to go back and visit his father?" I guessed subconsciously.
Ming Si's eyes were solemn. "It's hard to say. The relationship between Yan Meng and his father has been at a standstill for so many years. Yan Lirong's actions back then have broken Yan Meng's heart, and Yan Meng has long refused to acknowledge him as his father. But Yan Lirong is ill now, and perhaps it's his fragility that makes him miss his family. It's not surprising that he wants his eldest son to go back and see him more often."
"What's strange is that, since Yan Lirong is seriously ill and needs care, Huo Hui came to the capital at this time. She didn't go directly to Yan Meng, but instead leisurely socialized with the people in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. I'm afraid she has more in mind than that."
Mingsi secretly observed Huo Hui, but she looked calm and composed.
After hearing what Mingsi said, I suddenly understood a little bit.
This circle of noble ladies in Beijing is a good opportunity to make connections. Huo Hui and Yan Lirong have only been married for a few years, and their son is still young, so she always has to make plans for herself in advance.
During the event, I kept a close eye on Huo Hui. She participated happily and had a great time chatting with Mrs. Fang and the others.
This flower arranging activity is just to give these rich ladies a free opportunity to learn and socialize. It doesn’t matter what the final flower arrangement looks like. The most important thing is that they have fun.
The media has also collected enough materials and will report the event online in the afternoon to build momentum for Huake's new property.
