Chapter 585 They Hug Each Other
"Being liked by others is something worth cherishing, but Pei Chun used the wrong method. She was too extreme and hurt others because of this love. This is not love, but trouble."
Huo Sijiao looked into his dark brown amber pupils and nodded mechanically.
I seem to understand.
She came to her senses, moved her butt, and put some distance between herself and him.
The faint scent of sandalwood lingered at the tip of her nose, so calmly and slowly that it seemed to permeate her entire body.
Pei Chun's unwilling crying could be faintly heard outside the car.
Xie Xubai said calmly: "Ningyuan, drive!"
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
Ning Yuan stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Pei Chun's figure was left far behind.
"ah!"
Pei Chun screamed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, "Xie Xubai, I love you so much, I can do anything for you. Why do you treat me like this? Who is that Huo Sijiao? Is she worthy of your love?"
She walked into the Xie Mansion crying, and the servants did not dare to confront Miss Pei, who had a very bad temper.
The old housekeeper smiled and asked, "Ms. Pei, is there something that brings you here so late? Wipe your tears. It won't look good if you cry."
"Housekeeper, I want to find Grandma Xie!"
Pei Chun walked inside sobbing, she couldn't stop her tears.
"I want to thank grandma for making the decision for me, wuwu..."
"Ms. Pei, don't cry. It's just too late. Why don't you go home first and come back tomorrow?"
"I won't go back. I just want to stay in the Xie family. I want to marry into the Xie family in this life. This is my second home. Grandma Xie once said that if Xu Bai can't find a girlfriend before the end of the year, I will marry him."
Pei Chun's eyes were wet with tears and she was crying so hard that she was hiccuping.
It really looks pitiful.
No matter how the housekeeper tried to coax her, she wouldn't wake up, nor could he chase away the old lady's close friend's granddaughter.
Pei Chun walked to the entrance while crying and wiping her tears. She could still hear the old lady's hearty laughter inside.
She cried even louder.
"Thank you, grandma!"
She ran in quickly, threw herself into old lady Xie's arms and burst into tears, scaring the old lady.
The old lady questioned the housekeeper with her eyes, and the housekeeper silently said three words "Miss Huo".
Madam Wanling sat aside, drinking scented tea to help digestion, with a smile on her face and not saying much.
Pei Chun cried so much that her makeup was ruined and her voice became hoarse: "Grandma Xie, is Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao together? I heard that today was the first time he brought his girlfriend to visit, is that right?"
When Madam Xie heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "Who said that? I don't know who would spread such gossip! Miss Huo came to clarify what happened last night. She said that you insulted her sister-in-law, so she used Shuai Bai as a shield to piss you off."
Pei Chun's crying stopped abruptly: "Are they fake?"
"Yeah, it's fake."
The old lady handed her some tissues.
Pei Chun wiped away his tears and sniffed: "It's good that it's fake. But Xu Bai just hugged her at the door, which was so inappropriate. The people of Haicheng must be cunning and full of tricks."
"Hug?"
The old lady grasped the key word.
And you hugged her?
"Yes! It's really hateful and makes me angry." Pei Chun held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, I must marry Xu Bai! Don't forget your promise. If he doesn't find a girlfriend before the New Year, let us decide."
"OK!"
Madam Xie gritted her teeth and said, "I'll make the decision for you. If he doesn't have a girlfriend before the New Year, I'll go to the Pei family to propose marriage."
Some people's personalities just need to be pushed, lest they really think they have become a Buddha in a temple and don't care about anything.
The reason for choosing this date is because Xie Xubai's birthday falls on the first day of the first lunar month.
He must decide on his marriage when he is thirty!
"Grandma, you are so kind!" Pei Chun burst into laughter.
The Xie family has strict rules and cannot afford to lose face. Since Old Madam Xie has said in person that she wants to propose marriage, even if Xie Xubai refuses, the matter is set in stone.
There are too many families involved in marriages in the imperial capital's upper class society, and many couples get together for profit, with feelings being nothing.
"Grandma, you can't let Huo Sijiao into the house anymore. She and I..."
"Ouch."
Madam Xie held her head with one hand and cried out in pain, "I have a headache, Wanling, help me upstairs to rest. My head hurts so much!"
"OK."
Mrs. Wanling quickly put down her teacup and helped the old lady upstairs.
"Eh? Grandma!" Pei Chun was stunned, "Why do you suddenly have a headache?"
Mrs. Xie walked briskly and said in a low voice, "Hurry up! Her crying is really unbearable..."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the corner of the stairs.
Madam Wanling asked with a smile, "Mom, are you really going to ask for marriage from the Pei family?"
"Of course."
"Pei Chun is not suitable. Xu Bai's idea is very big."
Madam Xie stood up and said, "Of course I know Pei Chun is not suitable. This child has a bad temper and is willful."
"Then why are you still so nice to her?"
"It's all for the sake of her grandmother, so we don't want to hurt her face. She was quite likable when she was little, but I didn't expect her to become more and more arrogant in recent years, and she has no sense of propriety! I heard that she bullies others outside by relying on the power of the Pei family."
There was a hint of hostility between Pei Chun's brows, which was not pleasing.
The old lady's feelings towards Pei Chun also faded.
Madam Wanling asked, "Do you want to force a confession?"
"Humph! If I don't force him, when will I see him get married? He treats Miss Huo differently. Have you ever seen him bring a girl home before? How many times did he glance at the little girl from the Huo family while eating?"
Madam Xie snorted and laughed.
At her age, she has seen a lot of things.
Madam Wanling's expression was gentle: "He has a crush on Miss Huo, but Miss Huo seems to only treat him as an ordinary friend, without any interest in him at all."
"That depends on your son's ability to woo girls."
Madam Xie said irresponsibly: "If you can't catch her before the New Year, just marry Pei Chun."
Madam Wanling was not angry either.
She knew that her mother-in-law might seem unreasonable, but she was as clear as a mirror in her heart.
"Oh, by the way! Pei Chun just said that they were hugging each other outside the door. Go find the security guard and send me the surveillance video. I want to take a good look at it tonight..."
Mrs. Xie was happy at one moment and angry at another.
Mrs. Wanling responded with a "good"
…
The night is dark.
A luxury car is driving in the bustling city center.
They drove to the famous wealthy area of the capital and finally stopped at the gate of the Huo family's garden villa.
The car is quiet.
Huo Sijiao pursed her dry lips and said, "Thank you for sending me back."
"You're welcome. Mr. Huo is my best partner." Xie Xubai got out of the car first, walked around to Huo Sijiao's side and opened her door. He naturally extended his hand.
Huo Sijiao looked at the pair of clean, white hands in front of her and said, "I can walk by myself."
She couldn't do anything that could cause misunderstanding anymore.
Xie Xubai stood with his hands hanging down, watching her slowly get out of the car.
Huo Sijiao carefully moved her sprained right foot and limped to the ground: "I'll go in first, bye."
"Um."
Xie Xubai responded, watched her slowly walk into the villa, and called out, "Ms. Huo."
Huo Sijiao turned her head and looked at him puzzledly: "Hmm? Anything else?"
