Chapter 44 Flattery
In the elegantly decorated living room of the Huo family, Yang Wencheng, who had always been bossy and arrogant in the business world, seemed like a different person at this moment, with a smile on his face, nodding and bowing to Mr. Huo who was sitting in the main seat, and being extremely fawning.
He spoke carefully, his voice flattering: "Mr. Huo, this is my first visit today. I have long heard of your great name. This is a small token of respect from my junior, I hope you can accept it."
As he spoke, Yang Wencheng respectfully took out a delicately wrapped box, tiptoed to Mr. Huo, and slowly opened it.
In the box, a lifelike jade carving of a Pixiu caught everyone's eye.
This Pixiu has a nimble posture and smooth lines, as if it can jump out of the box in the next second.
Yang Mian, who had been sitting on the sidelines and watching coldly, just glanced at the jade carving of Pixiu and sneered mercilessly: "You have the nerve to give away a fake item? Your Yang family is so shabby now, can't you give away anything decent?"
When the Yang family heard this, they all turned to look at Yang Mian in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief, and they exclaimed in unison: "Yang Mian, why are you here?"
Yang Mian's appearance in the Huo family's living room, especially in this meeting with the Huo family that they had carefully prepared, was completely beyond their expectations and made them a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Yang Huan was the first to recover from his shock.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes full of disdain, she said to Yang Mian: "Sister, although I don't know how you appeared in the Huo family, you can't just say that the things my father gave to Grandpa Huo are fake, right? I think you have probably not even seen real jade a few times, so don't embarrass yourself here!"
The contempt and disdain for Yang Mian was evident in his words.
"Who is your sister? Don't try to make connections here. This Pixiu is a complete fake, just like your family, all of them are fake. How can you tell whether something is good or bad, real or fake?"
"Yang Mian retorted bluntly. She had long been dissatisfied with what the Yang family had done over the years. At this moment, she almost pointed out that the Yang family had always treated Yang Huan as a treasure, but despised her, their own daughter, and treated her like a worthless person.
"Yang Mian, you have no right to speak here!" Yang Wencheng's face suddenly turned gloomy and he shouted angrily.
Then, he immediately put on a flattering smile and bowed to Mr. Huo repeatedly: "Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that I doted on Yang Mian too much, which led to her being so disrespectful and outspoken. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her. Don't make it a fuss."
After saying that, Yang Wencheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly pulled Yang Huan, who was standing behind him, to the front of him, pushed her out, and introduced her proudly: "Mr. Huo, this is my little daughter Yang Huan. She has been well-read since she was a child, and is well-informed. She is proficient in everything from playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is a well-known talented woman in the circle, and she is hundreds of times better than my eldest daughter. What do you think about the marriage between our two families? How about changing someone and letting the little daughter replace the eldest daughter? What do you think?"
Yang Wencheng had already determined in his heart that Yang Mian must have found some way to come to the Huo family and somehow angered the Huo family, so Mr. Huo proposed to cancel the engagement.
He felt that as long as he could introduce his outstanding youngest daughter Yang Huan, Mr. Huo would definitely change his mind and continue the marriage.
After all, if the Yang family could become relatives with a wealthy family like the Huo family, it would be a supreme honor for them and would bring them countless benefits.
"Hello, Grandpa Huo, I'm Yang Huan." Yang Huan bowed slightly, showing a smile that she thought was appropriate, and said in a soft voice: "I have participated in various competitions since I was a child and won countless awards. Moreover, in terms of study, I have always been ranked first in the grade. Unlike my sister, she is actually in Class 13. You may not know that Class 13 is notoriously chaotic. Even the teachers are unwilling to teach that class." Yang Huan wanted the Huo family to clearly see the world of difference between her and Yang Mian.
In her mind, even if Yang Mian was the so-called real daughter, she was still kicked out of the Yang family.
Now, she, Yang Huan, is the only daughter of the Yang family, and the marriage with the Huo family should naturally be her turn.
Mr. Huo was so shrewd that Yang Huan's little thoughts were as transparent as transparent to him and were seen through at a glance.
As soon as Yang Huan entered the Huo family, he noticed that the girl's eyes were rolling around. She kept looking around, with greed flashing in her eyes from time to time.
However, this girl was somewhat scheming. After noticing his gaze, she immediately put on a clear and innocent look.
Mr. Huo looked calm and said slowly, "We in the Huo family only recognize Yang Mian. But since your Yang family has severed ties with Yang Mian, there is no need for us to have any further contact."
When Yang Wencheng heard this, he was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He quickly said, "Mr. Huo, Yang Mian has my blood flowing in her body, so how can she not be my daughter? This family doesn't have the right to break off the relationship just by saying so. It's just that we said a few harsh words to her yesterday, and she said she wanted to break off the relationship out of anger."
Yang Wencheng originally brought Yang Huan to the Huo family with great joy, hoping that the Huo family would see Yang Huan's many advantages and make her the Huo family's young lady.
But what no one expected was that the Huo family only chose Yang Mian.
As such, Yang Wencheng naturally would not be willing to break off his relationship with Yang Mian easily.
He was a thorough and genuine businessman, and businessmen valued profits. In his opinion, this usually unpopular daughter could actually catch the eyes of the Huo family, which meant she was not useless.
As long as she was obedient and allowed the marriage between the Yang and Huo families to proceed smoothly, and then let the Huo family invest some money in the Yang family to help the Yang family join the first-class famous circle, then he could reluctantly be nicer to Yang Mian.
"Don't speak too soon. The blood flowing in my body is not yours..."
Yang Mian looked at Yang Huan meaningfully.
"The blood flowing in her body is yours."
Yang Wenting didn't quite understand what Yang Mian meant.
"What are you talking about? How could you not be my daughter? We did a paternity test, and the results show that you are my daughter, and Yang Huan is not my daughter."
Yang Mian said calmly, "Yes, I am your daughter, but not his daughter. His daughter is Yang Huan."
