After freshening up, Huo Beichen went to the hotel restaurant.
Sun Xiaowei was already sitting in a window seat. When she saw him, she waved her arms at him.
She wore a light pink dress today, her hair was tied up, and she wore two pearl earrings that were as bright as light bulbs. She looked radiant and elegant.
Huo Beichen was momentarily dazed, as if he saw Sheng Nanyin.
Only then did he realize that Sheng Nanyin really liked pearls, and she would wear pearl jewelry on many occasions when they met.
"How do I look today?" Sun Xiaowei asked him confidently, showing herself off.
"Very beautiful." Huo Beichen nodded sincerely.
A smile appeared on Sun Xiaowei's lips, but her heart was in turmoil.
This was the first time he had ever praised her after knowing her for so long.
However, the reason she dressed like this today was because she had looked at many of Sheng Nanyin's photos last night.
At this moment, the waiter brought out the food.
Huo Beichen glanced at it casually: "You ordered enough for four people?"
Sun Xiaowei nodded, "My mom and my cousin are here too. Didn't you mention last time that you needed to consult my mom about some business matters at your company?"
Huo Beichen was slightly taken aback.
Sun Xiaowei asked, "Isn't this a bit sudden...? My mom happened to have some free time these past few days. She heard I was at the resort, so she brought my cousin over."
She immediately added, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can let them go shopping on their own, and we can talk about meeting later."
"No need," Huo Beichen shook his head. "It's not like we're meeting for the first time."
Soon, Sun's mother arrived with one of Sun Xiaowei's cousins.
Huo Beichen had also met his cousin Sun. She had a rather strong personality, and her husband and Lu Dongjue's family were cousins.
To be honest, they also have the capital to be powerful.
"Beichen," Sun's mother asked with concern as soon as she sat down, "I heard that Huo's stock price has plummeted and that a lot of it has been acquired by someone taking advantage of the situation. What exactly happened?"
"It's alright, Auntie, I have everything under control," Huo Beichen replied calmly.
Sun's mother was somewhat puzzled.
Cousin Sun leaned closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
The worry on Sun's mother's face disappeared, but her gaze toward Huo Beichen became somewhat strange.
"Mom, don't worry about business," Sun Xiaowei said. "Brother Beichen's new company is about to be established. Didn't you come here to discuss cooperation?"
"And you, cousin, your husband could also try to collaborate with Brother Beichen."
Cousin Sun smiled and glanced at her, "Xiao Wei, you're not even married yet, how come you already look like Mrs. Huo?"
As she spoke, she gave Huo Beichen a meaningful look: "That's the good thing about our Xiao Wei. Once she considers someone as family, she'll help them wholeheartedly!"
Huo Beichen lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, seemingly unaware of his cousin Sun's gaze.
Cousin Sun didn't give up and spoke directly to Huo Beichen: "Mr. Huo, we have no doubt about your business acumen. What we care about most is whether Xiaowei can be happy with you."
"Cousin!" Sun Xiaowei called out quickly.
"Mr. Huo, you don't think I'm being too direct, do you?" Cousin Sun asked.
Huo Beichen shook his head: "No."
Cousin Sun immediately seized the opportunity, "Then I really want to know, what exactly is your relationship with that woman named Sheng Nanyin?"
“Cousin…” Sun Xiaowei seemed about to cry.
Sun's mother said, "Xiaowei, I can tell that Beichen is an open-minded person and won't get angry over something like this."
“Right, Beichen?” Mother Sun’s expression was gentle, but her gaze was firm.
Huo Beichen realized that this was a well-coordinated combination of moves.
He answered calmly, "Sheng Nanyin and I have a son."
Sun's mother's expression changed slightly. What was with his frank and open attitude? Was he not trying to hide anything at all...?
Cousin Sun was a little angry. "Then what are your plans? Xiao Wei is completely devoted to you!"
Huo Beichen glanced at Sun Xiaowei, his eyes filled with doubt, inquiry, and a hint of reproach.
Sun Xiaowei's heart skipped a beat.
"Mom, cousin," she interrupted their questions, "Beichen and I finally got to go on vacation, so please don't interrupt us."
Sun's mother and cousin had no choice but to shut up.
During the meal, Huo Beichen went outside to answer a phone call.
My cousin immediately said to Sun Xiaowei, "Didn't you tell us to keep asking about Sheng Nanyin? We haven't even gotten any answers yet, why did you stop us?"
Sun Xiaowei lowered her eyes.
The look in Huo Beichen's eyes just now made her feel that he was very unhappy.
“Xiaowei,” Sun’s mother said earnestly, “Are you really so determined to have Huo Beichen? The people your family has introduced you to are all much better than Huo Beichen.”
“Mom, I know,” Sun Xiaowei nodded, “but are these kinds of things conditional?”
In terms of conditions, isn't she much better off than Sheng Nanyin?
However, Huo Beichen could never forget Sheng Nanyin.
My cousin said, "If you insist on marrying him, he and Sheng Nanyin must break up."
Sun Xiaowei understood, "That's true, but I don't even know where Sheng Nanyin is right now."
My cousin dismissed it, saying, "That's easy. You wait, I'll have your husband inquire about it."
"We also need to let Huo Beichen know that the Sun family is not something he can manipulate at will." My cousin's expression was cold. "Remember this, do as I say."
She whispered a few words to Sun Xiaowei.
Sun's mother sighed slightly. Unable to persuade Sun Xiaowei to give up, she had no choice but to let her cousin make the arrangements.
After dinner, Sun Xiaowei took a walk with Huo Beichen in the garden.
She glanced at Huo Beichen's profile and suddenly said, "Brother Beichen, did what my mom and cousin said just now make you angry?"
Huo Beichen replied calmly, "I don't like others interfering in my private affairs."
She pursed her lips tightly: "Actually... they just want me to have a better life..."
“You’re very lucky,” Huo Beichen said.
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Sun Xiaowei probed further, "But where did Miss Sheng go? Has there been a result in your custody battle?"
Huo Beichen remained silent, lowering his gaze to conceal his disappointment.
Sun Xiaowei continued, "My cousin mentioned that once she and her husband went to a cocktail party and ran into Lu Dongjue. He was with a little boy at the time..."
Huo Beichen immediately looked up: "Do you have any photos?"
Sun Xiaowei shook her head, "They didn't pay any attention at the time... Brother Beichen, do you suspect that the little boy is Zeze?"
"How about I ask my cousin to try and confirm it?"
Huo Beichen quickly calmed down and shook his head slightly, "No need."
Sun Xiaowei insisted, "I'd be happy to help you with anything."
Huo Beichen frowned, but said nothing more.
He had no intention of asking Sun Xiaowei for help, and according to his plan, Sun Xiaowei couldn't be of much help anyway.
But Sun Xiaowei had other plans in mind.
She had already informed him, so things would be much easier from now on.
