Chapter 43: Making Trouble Again
The next morning, soft sunlight shone through the thin curtains, casting patches of warm yellow in the room.
Yang Mian woke up slowly, rubbed his sleepy eyes lazily, and opened his eyes to see a quilt neatly folded on the sofa. Every corner was carefully folded, revealing a sense of neatness, but there was no one on the sofa.
Yang Mian stretched lazily, his posture like a kitten just waking up.
She walked barefoot to the closet, and as soon as her fingers touched the door, the scene before her made her stand still.
The wardrobe, which had seemed a little empty, was now full of various women's clothing.
There are simple and fashionable modern suits with neat cuts, full of urban modernity; there are also exquisite and elegant retro dresses with lace, satin and buttons, every detail tells the elegance of the past;
There are also many niche styles full of design sense, unique tailoring and ingenious decoration, which demonstrate a unique fashion attitude.
Each piece seems to be carefully selected and carries a lot of love.
Her eyes slowly moved among the clothes, finally stopping on a light-colored cheongsam.
The cheongsam is well-tailored, and the delicate fabric has a soft luster. The elegant patterns embroidered on it are faintly visible under the caress of the light, as if every stitch and every thread is embroidered with a gentle story.
Yang Mian picked it up gently, and after putting it on, his whole temperament suddenly changed.
The original girl-next-door image disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gentle and charming beauty from the Republic of China.
She stood in front of the mirror, slightly turned sideways, looked at herself in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
After carefully putting on some light makeup and choosing a pair of simple and versatile shoes for all seasons, Yang Mian walked downstairs with brisk steps.
"Tap tap tap", the sound of the heels hitting the ground is crisp and pleasant, like a lively little tune, echoing slowly in the quiet space, as if telling her inner joy at the moment.
In the living room, the grandfather, grandson and his two grandchildren who were drinking tea heard the noise and looked up at the same time.
For a moment, the three of them seemed to be under a spell, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Mr. Huo was the first to come back to his senses. He nodded with satisfaction and said with emotion: "It is true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Yang Mian's whole temperament is different in this cheongsam. She looks dignified and generous, and looks good!"
"It's really beautiful." Huo Zhentian also agreed, his eyes full of admiration.
Huo Yanshen just stared at Yang Mian quietly, his eyes never moving away for a moment, his deep eyes were filled with emotions that others could not understand.
He thought to himself that he really wanted to hide her and not let others see her beauty.
"Good morning, everyone." Yang Mian raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and greeted everyone politely.
She subconsciously looked around, but didn't see Xing Sujie. Maybe she wanted to go back to her parents' home to ask for help and plead for mercy!
"Good morning, come and have breakfast." Huo Yanshen quickly came back to his senses and said softly, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his voice, as if he was caring for a delicate flower.
"You haven't eaten yet, are you waiting for me?" Yang Mian was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that she was valued so much in this family.
"Yeah." Huo Yanshen nodded gently with a firm tone. Behind this simple word, he showed full respect and attention for Yang Mian.
This was the first time Yang Mian had a formal breakfast at home, and she must not let her feel neglected in the slightest.
Yang Mian walked to the dining table and said apologetically, "You don't have to wait for me next time. You can just eat first."
Thinking back to the days she lived in the Yang family, not to mention that there was no one waiting for her to eat, sometimes she couldn't even get a hot meal. Now, she has cut off her family ties and there is no need for her to be cautious about the Yang family.
Old Master Huo waved his hands and said with a hearty smile, "It's okay. Just wait a while. It's not a big deal. Come eat! I don't know what you like to eat, but Aunt Yang made a lot of food. Take a look. Is there anything that suits your taste?"
Yang Mian looked at the table filled with sumptuous dishes, including delicate, small and colorful macarons, sweet and delicate tiramisu that melted in the mouth, tender and juicy steak cooked to perfection, plump salmon, and a variety of exquisitely shaped snacks and steaming hot drinks.
She was deeply moved. She didn't expect the Huo family to be so thoughtful. A feeling of home warmth spread in her heart.
"Let's eat!" Mr. Huo picked up the chopsticks and started eating first.
Yang Mian also picked up his chopsticks and picked out a few of his favorite dishes.
She ate with gusto, not at all like those delicate daughters of wealthy families who took small bites and stopped after a few bites.
She ate a lot of steak and salmon and was obviously a big meat lover.
Old Master Huo became more and more satisfied as he watched Yang Mian eating.
He didn't like those pretentious girls, and Yang Mian's genuine and casual personality was just what he wanted.
Mother Yang stood silently by the side, memorizing all the dishes that Yang Mian liked, preparing to make more in the future. Her eyes were full of love, as if she treated Yang Mian as her own child.
Just after finishing his meal, Yang Mian put down the bowl in his hand.
At this time, the housekeeper came in hurriedly and said respectfully: "Master, the Yang family is here."
Mr. Huo frowned, with an unhappy look on his face: "Why are they here? Didn't I tell Yang Wencheng not to come?"
After Yang Mian told him about the Yang family's troubles last night, Mr. Huo called Yang Wencheng and told him that Huo Yanbin and Yang Mian's wedding was cancelled. He also told Yang Wencheng clearly that the Huo family would no longer invest in the Yang family and that the 1 billion yuan that had been given out would be fully recovered.
How dare you bully their granddaughter-in-law?
The housekeeper asked, "Master, should I drive them away?"
Huo Yanshen smiled coldly and said, "Since they are here, let them in!" Humph, he hasn't gone to settle accounts with them yet, but they came to him on their own initiative, so he will settle both the old and new accounts together.
Since his grandson had spoken, Mr. Huo would not stop him: "Then let them in!"
Yang Wencheng and Yang Wenting came with Yang Huan.
Yang Huan was wrapped up like a mummy yesterday, but today she was dressed up beautifully, with heavy makeup, a tight skirt and high heels. If you didn't know her, you would think she was here for a blind date.
Because Yang Mian was sitting with his back to the Yang family, Yang Wencheng did not see Yang Mian's face.
When Yang Huan saw Huo Yanshen's infuriatingly handsome face, he was instantly attracted to him.
Is this the young master of the Huo family? He is so handsome!
He has a good family background and is good-looking. Why should Yang Mian take such a good man? Is it just because Yang Mian is the real daughter of the Yang family?
But it doesn’t matter. Yang Mian has already run away from home and has a bad relationship with her family. She has broken off the marriage, so the Huo family’s marriage will definitely not be Yang Mian’s turn.
My parents also considered that Yang Mian was too difficult to discipline, so they wanted to bring her to the old man and change Yang Mian's marriage to her.
Sure enough, even if she was not a real daughter, she was still the one her parents loved the most. Thinking of this, a hint of pride flashed in Yang Huan's eyes.
