Chapter 74 My Wife is Getting Engaged
At this moment.
At the entrance of the second floor, the host of the banquet, Mr. Huo, glanced at the people downstairs with his deep and old eyes.
Huo Qiao's good second uncle, Huo Sheng's father, was talking to Mr. Huo with a smile.
Who knew that Mr. Huo ignored him and tilted his head in Huo Qiao's direction.
"You haven't been in the Magic City for a long time and you are not familiar with the people here. Follow Grandpa for a while and listen more and talk less."
Cui Xianyue frowned and looked at Huo Qiao.
Huo Qiting's voice was very cold: "Huo Qiao, where are the rules you learned? Can't you hear what grandpa is talking to you?"
Huo Qiao casually said: "I naturally won't say anything if it's not my business, but I can't not say anything if it's related to me, right, grandpa."
A gleam of light flashed in the slightly cloudy eyes of old man Huo.
He didn't say anything, but Huo Qiting scolded: "Huo Qiao, how do you talk to grandpa?"
Old man Huo glanced at him lightly, and Huo Qiting's anger paused.
Cui Xianyue said: "Don't worry, old man, Huo Qiao knows what to say and what not to say, right Huo Qiao?"
Huo Qiao sneered: "Yes, I know what to say."
Uncle Huo's eyelids jumped for some reason.
Thinking of what the old man was going to announce later, he had a bad premonition.
Huo Qiao wouldn't know anything in advance, would he?
No, he wouldn't.
Cui Xianxing was sent away, and Huo Qiao was like a deaf-mute in the Magic City, and there was no way he could know their plan.
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes cunningly.
"Dad, the guests are almost here, it's time to go down."
Old Master Huo paused for a moment, then looked forward again, "Let's go."
The Huo family is a large family with many clansmen.
By the generation of Huo Qiao and Huo Sheng, there was only one descendant, and that was Huo Sheng's newly born son.
Therefore, the invited guests thought that the purpose of today's banquet was to celebrate.
Pei Yuzhi listened to the discussions of the people around him, but his eyes were always on Huo Qiting.
This was the biological father of the protagonist Xie Jinchuan in the book.
He supported his illegitimate son to take the throne and forced the second branch of the family to go overseas.
Huo Qiao does not look like him.
Huo Qiao has a cold temperament, a more delicate appearance, and is aloof and arrogant.
Huo Qiting, on the other hand, has a gentle temperament and a warm smile on his face when he talks to people.
But just looking at the fact that he has the love-minded eldest daughter of the Cui family in his hands, abandons Huo Qiao, and forces his brothers from the same mother, you can tell that he is a smiling fox who eats people without spitting out bones.
Suddenly, Huo Qiting looked in the direction of Pei Yuzhi as if he had sensed something.
Pei Yuzhi's eyelids twitched slightly, and he immediately took a step back and hid in the shadows.
Soon, Huo Qiting turned his head.
"Are you from Dongsu? The boyfriend of that pretty boy named Bai."
An arrogant and condescending voice rang in his ears.
Pei Yuzhi paused and turned to look over.
Xie Linyuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't you recognize me? I'm Huo Qiao's fiancé."
Pei Yuzhi suddenly smiled, "Master Xie, you are so heroic and have such a great temperament. I will never forget you once I meet you."
The man from Dongsu in front of him was wearing a black suit.
The white shirt was buttoned straight, and it stopped abruptly under his obvious Adam's apple.
The arrogant expression when they met last time was much more restrained this time, but there was still a sense of nonchalance.
Especially his voice seemed to have a hook, which made Xie Linyuan's ears itchy.
Xie Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he swallowed unconsciously.
I didn't expect that there would be such a charming man in a place like Dongsu.
If it were usual, Xie Linyuan might condescend to play with him.
But now his target is Huo Qiao.
This means he can no longer have excessive behavior with this man who has an intersection with Huo Qiao.
He has regrets in his heart, but not too much.
"Last time I saw you being so rude, what's up? Have you learned to speak nicely now that you're in Shanghai?"
Pei Yuzhi's smile deepened:
"People should be aware of current affairs, right? But in such a short time, Young Master Xie is already engaged to Huo Qiao?"
Xie Linyuan's face stiffened slightly, he looked at Pei Yuzhi unhappily:
"Engagement is just a situation, Huo Qiao and I represent both the Xie and Huo families, we will definitely get married even if we're not engaged."
Pei Yuzhi's smile completely faded, he curled his lips:
"Young Master Xie is really charming, Huo Qiao is so unconventional, but he can actually compromise with his family for Young Master Xie."
Xie Linyuan felt happy after being praised by him:
"Hmph, Huo Qiao deserves the best. As long as we two get married, our two families will cooperate, and the Huo family can get the shipping lanes worth tens of billions opened up by the Xie family."
Pei Yuzhi said coldly, "Has Huo Qiao agreed?"
Xie Linyuan looked at him strangely, "Old Master Huo only likes the second branch. Huo Qiting and Cui Xianyue are both eager for me to marry him to increase their bargaining chips."
Pei Yuzhi looked at Xie Linyuan steadily:
"You are talking about Huo Qiao's parents. Does Huo Qiao agree?"
Xie Linyuan was stunned, then laughed.
His eyes were full of disdain:
"That's a shipping route worth hundreds of billions. It's not just a business deal, it will allow the Huo family to completely open up overseas markets.
Huo Qiao is not stupid, why doesn't he agree?
I haven't heard that he has someone he likes, and I'm no better than other men out there? If it were you, would you disagree?"
Pei Yuzhi pursed his lips and stopped asking.
Although Xie Linyuan said this, he was in a bad mood.
He frowned and looked at the man in front of him who was shaking his wine glass carelessly.
I shouldn't have told him this, he thought.
A man who was insignificant complimented him casually, and he lost his vigilance.
Whether it was the shipping route or the old affairs of the Huo family, he shouldn't have discussed it casually in such an occasion.
Xie Linyuan once again resumed his attitude of "no strangers allowed".
He quickly looked inside the venue.
The Huo family was surrounded in the center of the venue, and Huo Qiao was still the most eye-catching among them.
His handsome face was still expressionless.
Thinking of what was going to be announced later, Xie Linyuan's hanging heart slowly fell back.
As long as he announced his engagement with Huo Qiao.
He believed that Huo Qiao would never ignore him again.
Pei Yuzhi glanced at Xie Linyuan's complacent profile with a dark look in his eyes.
Yesterday, Pei Yuzhi heard from Pei's father that the Huo and Xie families were going to get married, so he quickly finished his work.
After the plane landed, he rushed to the Huo's old house without stopping.
Even so, was he late?
I don't know when Xie Linyuan had left here.
The music in the venue slowly faded, and the guests surrounding the Huo family dispersed.
The old man of the Huo family seemed to have something to say.
Looking at the old man who was in a bad mood, he was indeed full of energy when he spoke.
"Thank you all for coming to the Huo family today. We have three pieces of good news to share with you all. The first is that my eldest grandson Huo Sheng has given birth to a great-grandson. The second is about the engagement between Huo Qiao and Xie's Lin Yuan."
Pei Yuzhi's temples jumped.
