Chapter 762 Meeting the Parents
Qiao Xi was confused.
Aren't family dinners just these two places? Does Huo Xingzhou have another family outside?
My close friends and relatives are all in Haicheng, what will the family dinner be like in the capital?
"You'll know when you get there."
"You're keeping me in suspense again."
Qiao Xi muttered something and watched Lao Chen turn the car towards the Imperial Capital Hotel.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped at the foot of the majestic and luxurious hotel. As soon as Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi appeared, the doorman respectfully led them inside.
Lao Chen even gave them the car keys to park the car.
"Boss Huo, Madam Huo!"
In the main lobby of the hotel, the hotel manager greeted us warmly.
"Please take the elevator this way, both of you. The private room on the top floor has been reserved. The chefs on duty in the kitchen today were specially invited back. There are chefs from all major cuisines, and the master chef who specializes in Haicheng cuisine is also here. You can ask for anything you need."
So polite?
Qiao Xi glanced at Huo Xingzhou with the rest of her eyes.
Is this the treatment for a family dinner?
"good."
Huo Xingzhou looked very imposing outside, with no emotion on his face.
Qiao Xi took his hand and walked into the elevator.
The hotel manager carefully leaned on the elevator door and waited for them to enter the elevator before going through the security check on the next floor.
"Mr. Huo, do you and your wife have any dietary restrictions? I'll tell you now."
"No, it's just that my wife has been eating lighter recently. Don't prepare greasy soups for her. If there are spicy and sour foods that don't hurt her stomach, you can give her some. Use less raw and cold foods, try not to add alcohol to the dishes, and use less synthetic sauces."
Huo Xingzhou explained every word very clearly.
He also mentioned some of Qiao Xi's usual preferences.
The manager listened carefully and directly opened his mobile phone to type in the memo, ready to convey every word to the kitchen.
This is a distinguished guest!
There can be no negligence.
Otherwise, their boss's lifelong happiness may be affected.
"Mr. Huo, is there anything else you need to explain?"
"No more."
"OK."
The manager put away his phone and watched the elevator door open. He placed his hand on the door and carefully let Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi out.
"This way, please. We have reserved the best box. Everyone else has arrived, and they said they will wait for you two to arrive before serving the menu and ordering."
"good."
Qiao Xi followed Huo Xingzhou through corridors one after another, and her curiosity reached its peak!
What kind of family dinner is this?
So luxurious and grand!
She had heard of this grand hotel before, but she had never been there. She had never expected that the top floor was several times more luxurious than the downstairs.
But the furnishings and decorations are very stylish and do not appear vulgar.
There is a touch of nobility in the elegance, and taste in the nobility.
This style is a bit like...
Before Qiao Xi could think of anything, her thoughts were interrupted by the hotel manager.
"Here we are, you two."
The private room had a very classical feel and exuded a faint familiar fragrance.
It's sandalwood!
Thanks for the explanation!
"Mr. Xie, our distinguished guests have arrived."
Sure enough, I heard the manager push the door, walk around a hollow display cabinet and say this to the people inside.
Qiao Xi looked around and saw a group of people sitting around a large carved round table. Beyond that were some green plants and valuable antique ornaments, as well as a large floor-to-ceiling window.
You can see the prosperous imperial capital!
Take it all in.
A family dinner with the Xie family?
Her eyes fell on the dining table.
The old lady of the Xie family, Xie Xubai's mother and father, and a young man who looks somewhat similar to Xie Xubai, who is a male star who is quite popular in the entertainment industry recently.
Xie Xubai's younger brother, Xie Jingchu.
And... Huo Sijiao, with an unnatural expression and red cheeks.
Qiao Xi's gaze fell on Xie Xubai, who stood up and greeted them, and she suddenly realized.
This is what a family dinner is like!
What Shen Xuanzhi said was true; the two of them really were a perfect match.
And it has even reached the point where the parents of both sides have a simple meal together.
"Mr. Huo, please take a seat."
"Doctor Qiao, come and sit next to me! Let's talk. I'm happy to see you." Old Madam Xie was cheerful and interesting. She warmly invited Qiao Xi to sit next to her.
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation.
Qiao Xi sat next to the old lady.
Directly opposite is where Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao sit.
As long as you look up, you can see Huo Sijiao's charming face and her unnaturally twinkling eyes.
It turns out that the fearless little hot pepper in the Huo family also has shy moments.
Huo Xingzhou was arranged to sit next to Xie Xubai, so the two could chat.
The waiter brought the menu.
The old lady said quickly, "Give some to Xiao Qiao."
"Madam, you are the elder, it is your turn."
"Hey, just order whatever you like. I've eaten the food in this hotel many times. Recently, the chef has developed some innovative dishes. You can try them. As the host, I should have treated you to a meal a long time ago."
It turns out that this is the Xie family's big hotel.
Yes, his family runs a hotel.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Qiao Xi took the menu and ordered a few Haicheng dishes, and also ordered some soft dishes out of consideration for the old man's teeth.
Only then did he hand the menu to Madam Wanling beside him.
From Dr. Qiao to Xiao Qiao, Qiao Xi could already tell the Xie family's satisfaction and eagerness about this marriage.
Huo Sijiao's shy attitude also shows that she is not without feelings for Xie Xubai.
Qiao Xi suddenly felt relieved.
The old lady of the Xie family held Qiao Xi's hand and said, "I like every girl in your Huo family. They have clear eyes, good manners and are likable. If I could look at them every day, I might live to be 200 years old!"
Exaggeration!
Qiao Xiyu looked at Huo Sijiao's blushing cheeks and agreed with a smile: "You are really good at joking. You are exaggerating to the sky! If you like Jiaojiao, you can let her accompany you more."
The old lady said, "I'm not exaggerating! Xu Bai and Mr. Huo are good friends. The two families should interact more in the future. You should treat the Xie family as your own home while you are in the imperial capital."
This gathering was the first contact between the two families.
The marriage was not proposed abruptly.
And Qiao Xi also knew her identity. She was just Huo Sijiao's sister-in-law.
I am not qualified to decide her marriage.
In the future, if we were to discuss marriage further, we might have to invite Du Ya and Huo Jiancheng to the imperial capital.
The two sides still have many details to discuss.
The old lady of the Xie family also understood what she meant, and she just said it was a gathering among friends.
This is also the reputation of taking care of the girl's family.
The kitchen serves the food very quickly and seems to be ready at any time.
One delicious dish after another was placed on the round table. The only relaxed young master of the Xie family turned the table around and decided to help his brother.
Xie Jingchu passed a dish of steamed grouper to Huo Sijiao and said casually, "Sister-in-law, my brother said you like this. Try it and see if our chef makes it well. If you like it, ask the chef to make it every day at home."
One word!
It pierced through the veil of ambiguity between the two parties.
What a gathering of friends!
Today will become his brother’s engagement party!
