Chapter 394 Support You
"Ms. Su is joking. The Huo family mainly sells daily necessities and cosmetics."
Su Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, but she still maintained a calm expression.
"I didn't expect Mr. Huo's family to be so wealthy and powerful."
After Su Nanzhi finished praising him, she casually asked curiously, "Does your cousin's family sell shoes?"
"I saw she was quite interested in shoes yesterday."
Huo Boyuan: Okay, this couple is not only tight-lipped, but also a bit vicious.
"My cousin was in a bad mood yesterday, so she bought so many shoes. I have asked the supply and marketing cooperative to donate the shoes on our behalf." Huo Boyuan explained aloud, but in his heart he couldn't help but curse Miao Beibei, his stupid cousin again.
"The Miao family doesn't sell shoes, they run a restaurant."
Su Nanzhi nodded, not quite understanding, "No wonder Miss Miao is so plump and round."
Huo Boyuan: ...
Just as the dishes were served, he immediately invited the two of them to eat. Although his cousin was really an idiot, it also allowed Su Nanzhi to continue to mock her.
Gu Xizhou lowered his head and picked up some food for Su Nanzhi from time to time, and then listened to Su Nanzhi and Huo Boyuan chatting.
Later, Huo Boyuan did not secretly inquire about Su Nanzhi's family anymore. The two of them chatted about business matters, and their conversation was unexpectedly harmonious.
Huo Boyuan initially invited Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou to dinner because he wanted to confirm whether Su Nanzhi was the person he was looking for, but later Su Nanzhi's insights into business enlightened him.
Finally, under Gu Xizhou's cold gaze, he reluctantly finished his lunch.
At the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Huo Boyuan said goodbye to Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou and left first because he had something to do.
When Huo Boyuan's figure disappeared around the corner, Su Nanzhi immediately turned and looked at Gu Xizhou.
Before she could speak, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but flick her head.
"I knew you couldn't bear much."
Su Nanzhi didn't think that Gu Xizhou would not be able to see what she could see.
Gu Xizhou looked around and whispered in her ear, "Miao Beibei is very likely your cousin."
Su Nanzhi's pupils trembled. She wanted to speak, but she had a lot of thoughts in her mind but didn't know what to say.
Gu Xizhou looked at her helpless expression, stepped forward and held her hand, hoping to pass on his courage to Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi took a deep breath, "What about Huo Boyuan?"
If Miao Beibei, who pretended not to know her, was her cousin, then what relationship did Huo Boyuan, who wanted to confirm her identity, have with her?
Hearing Huo Boyuan's name, Gu Xizhou took a deep breath, but did not give an answer.
He just said, "Let's go back to the guesthouse first, and I'll tell you the details later."
But Su Nanzhi was such a smart person that she could guess what was going on from Gu Xizhou's face.
If Huo Boyuan had nothing to do with her, Gu Xizhou would not hesitate and would tell her directly.
But Gu Xizhou hesitated, so the relationship between Huo Boyuan and her was much more complicated than she imagined.
But what kind of relationship would be complicated?
When they arrived at the room in the guesthouse, as soon as the door was closed, Su Nanzhi couldn't wait to speak.
"What's the relationship between Huo Boyuan and my mother?"
"My mother's age doesn't overlap with Huo Boyuan's. It might be related to the elders in his family."
Thinking of something, she paused and spoke with full certainty.
"My mother remarried!"
She stared at Gu Xizhou, not asking, but declaring. After seeing the worry in Gu Xizhou's eyes, Su Nanzhi calmed down instead.
Although Xue Jiawang said that the Miao family was very rich, it is unclear whether the Miao family's assets have shrunk after fleeing to Gangcheng.
As a married woman with children, when Miao Jingyi goes to live with her parents, will her parents really welcome her warmly?
It's not easy for a woman to survive in an unfamiliar place...
Gu Xizhou held Su Nanzhi's hand tightly. He could feel the sadness spreading from Su Nanzhi's body. At this moment, he just wished he could hug Su Nanzhi and comfort her.
"Huo Boyuan is your stepbrother..."
Gu Xizhou told Su Nanzhi everything he had found out in the morning.
After sending Su Nanzhi to the publishing house in the morning, he went to find his comrade-in-arms who worked in the provincial capital. His comrade-in-arms retired due to injury and has developed very well in recent years. He also knows the mayor.
With the introduction of his comrades, Gu Xizhou met the mayor and learned about the affairs of the Miao and Huo families from the mayor.
Logically, a mayor from the mainland should not know so much about the affairs of Hong Kong City, but it just happens that the mayor knows the Miao and Huo families.
However, the Huo and Miao families, who were also engaged in business, had a better relationship. It was so good that the two families had once arranged an engagement as children, and later the whole family fled to Hong Kong City together.
"Child marriage?" Su Nanzhi was a little puzzled.
Gu Xizhou had a complicated expression. "Your mother and Huo Boyuan's father were engaged as children, but later on, because your mother met your father, the engagement with the Huo family was naturally cancelled."
Hearing this, Su Nanzhi's expression became terrifyingly calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Just be alive."
Although she loves her father, she also loves her mother at the same time. The limitations of the times have separated her parents, but as long as they are alive, it's fine.
Looking at Su Nanzhi's smile which was uglier than crying, Gu Xizhou couldn't hide his worry in his eyes. He stepped forward and hugged Su Nanzhi.
"Do you want to talk to Huo Boyuan?"
Su Nanzhi hugged Gu Xizhou back, and she buried her whole body in Gu Xizhou's arms.
"Why don't you want me to have contact with Huo Boyuan?"
She didn't answer, but instead asked about Gu Xizhou's attitude.
Before, it could be said that it was because of his concern for Huo Boyuan's identity, but during the meal just now, although Gu Xizhou's attitude towards Huo Boyuan was not unfriendly, he was also very vigilant.
"Do you still have something to tell me about the Huo family?"
Gu Xizhou didn't know what to say next. He just met Su Nanzhi's bright eyes, pursed his lips and continued, "The Huo family is a very traditional family. Before Huo Boyuan's father left Hong Kong, he had two concubines in addition to his principal wife."
"I think this is also the reason why your mother did not agree to the marriage with the Huo family."
And now Hong Kong City has not completely abolished polygamy.
Although Su Nanzhi had already expected this, she still looked a little ugly after hearing what Gu Xizhou said.
She didn't think that the Huo family would abandon polygamy after fleeing to Hong Kong City.
She couldn't even think about how her mother would react when she married into the Huo family again.
"But the mayor said that your mother married into the Huo family as the principal wife."
Gu Xizhou gently stroked Su Nanzhi's brow, his voice was cold, but it unexpectedly calmed Su Nanzhi's anxiety.
Su Nanzhi let out a long sigh and tried her best to stay calm. She comforted herself in her heart that at least Miao Jingyi could marry into the Huo family as the principal wife for the second time, so Huo Boyuan's father should at least still have some true feelings for her.
But even so, it cannot hide the complexity of the Huo family's relationships.
This is also the reason why Gu Xizhou doesn't want Su Nanzhi to have much contact with Huo Boyuan without knowing the Huo family.
"If you want to know about your mother-in-law, I will support you."
