"Have you changed your clothes?" Huo Shen's voice came from outside the door, "Why haven't you heard anything for so long?"
"Okay, right away."
Lin Jiu opened the door and Huo Shen's eyes lit up.
The sunlight shone through the window from behind Lin Jiu, forming a halo around her.
The servants who were cleaning the corridor all looked at Lin Jiu with wide eyes.
Uncle Ming, the housekeeper, was also amazed. "Ms. Lin Jiu is truly a natural beauty. This red evening dress looks as if it was tailor-made for you, showcasing your youthful beauty."
Huo Shen raised his hand to support his chin, "It seems that bright colors suit you very well. They look much better than your usual black clothes."
"Yes, I like red. White is too cold." Lin Jiu pointed at Huo Shen's black shirt, "And black is too dark."
"Darkness, I like this evaluation, Madam, let's go." Huo Shen put his left hand behind his back, opened his right palm towards Lin Jiu, and made a standard "please" gesture.
Lin Jiu placed his hand on his palm and said, "When you meet your grandfather later, can you please not call me Madam? I will be embarrassed."
Huo Shen grabbed Lin Jiu's hand and suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her in his arms.
Uncle Ming and the servants tactfully left the scene.
"Are you shy?" Huo Shen looked down at Lin Jiu and teased deliberately.
"No, I was nervous meeting your grandfather for the first time... and being called Madam by you... I'm a traditional girl."
"Okay." Huo Shen leaned close to Lin Jiu's ear and deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Traditional girl."
After kissing her on the side of the cheek, he loosened his arms and let her go.
Xicheng, who was waiting beside the Rolls-Royce, opened his eyes wide when he saw Lin Jiu, "Wow, Xiaojiu, this dress is even more beautiful than the one I first saw you wearing at the cocktail party."
"Drive your car well." Huo Shen stood in front of Lin Jiu, as if she didn't want Xicheng to look at her any more.
Xicheng quickly and obediently went to drive.
————
The Huo family's old house is located in the suburbs of the imperial capital. It was once a villa built by an Irish earl.
The whole building has a strong British style.
There were more than a dozen luxury cars parked in front of the villa, as if there was a party going on.
The Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of the small building.
Before getting out of the car, Lin Jiu looked up at Huo Shen and said, "Can you still call me Lin Jiu? Although I have found my brothers now, my mother once asked me to always call me Lin Jiu. After I fully understand the reason for my mother's death, you can call me Ye Jiu. Is that okay?"
"I can agree to any request from my Xiaojiu, let alone a small title." Huo Shen held Lin Jiu's hand tightly, his hand was very cold.
"nervous?"
"Some."
"This is the first time I've heard you say you're nervous." Huo Shen took Lin Jiu's hand and got out of the car. "Don't worry, I'll always protect you at Grandpa's house and won't let you get nervous."
The butler in classical formal attire bowed to Huo Shen, "The young master is back."
The huge nanmu door slowly opened, and a spacious and magnificent hall appeared before the eyes.
Men and women in gorgeous dresses, holding red wine glasses in their hands, all looked towards Lin Jiu.
Whether men or women, all of them have delicate and good-looking faces. At first glance, you might think they are a European vampire family.
Seeing that Lin Jiu looked a little unnatural, Huo Shen held her hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous. These are just relatives from our family. They are just gathering at Grandpa's place."
The only person in the hall was an old man in a military green shirt and trousers, standing in front of the fireplace with his back to the door.
Although his hair is completely white, his back looks strong and powerful.
The young man wearing glasses standing next to him nodded slightly, "Commander Huo, your grandson is here to see you."
