"Uncle." Huo Shen stood up and blocked Lin Jiu behind him. "I heard that you returned to the capital from Tokyo."
"Yes, but my father has handed the Huo Group over to you. However, I suggest that you better have some ability to stabilize the family business, otherwise, I will take control of the group at any time." The man in Japanese kimono took a fierce look at Lin Jiu behind Huo Shen, and left without saying anything.
Huo Shen quickly held Lin Jiu's hand and said, "I hope I didn't scare you just now, Baoer."
Lin Jiu looked at the back of the man just now, "Is he Japanese?"
"No, he's my uncle. He grew up in Tokyo, but because of a woman, he left Tokyo and returned to the capital to develop his career."
"He seems very dissatisfied with your control of the Huo Group."
"Yes, Baoer, several other uncles are also dissatisfied with me. My uncle is relatively straightforward and says whatever he wants to say. Others are not so straightforward." Huo Shen sat down and opened his arms to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu just sat next to Huo Shen and patted the back of his hand to comfort him. "I didn't expect your family to be so complicated. Did you grow up here?"
"I grew up in Compound No. 49. There were many people my age there, and I had a happy childhood. After my grandparents retired and grew old, we bought this villa built by an Irishman in the suburbs. The air was good and the environment was comfortable, so we moved here."
Huo Shen saw the housekeeper coming from afar, "Let's go, it's time for dinner."
There were more than twenty people at home today. Huo Shen's grandmother was worried that Lin Jiu would be shy, so she asked her and Huo Shen to have dinner with the old couple in the small restaurant.
While eating, grandma kept picking up food for Lin Jiu, showing great care and love, "Eat more, granddaughter-in-law, where do you work when you are so beautiful?"
"Grandma, I'm a student at Imperial Capital University. I'm nineteen years old."
Grandma was stunned for a moment. "Nineteen? So young! Our little Shenzi is already twenty-four. He really got a great deal. Imperial University is a good school, and his granddaughter-in-law is a good student."
Huo Shen glanced at his grandmother with dissatisfaction, doubting whether she treated him as her own grandson. "Grandma, Xiaojiu is the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
"He's the top scorer in the college entrance exam. That's great! He has good genes, and he's already an adult at nineteen." Grandma glanced at Lin Jiu's belly. "It's summer vacation now. Where is my granddaughter-in-law's home?"
"My home is in Bincheng. I live in the school when school starts. It's at No. 36 University Road." Lin Jiu answered seriously.
But Huo Shen knew what grandma meant.
Just at this time, Lin Jiu took a few bites of the sour dishes.
Grandma's eyes lit up and she smiled mischievously, "How many months?"
Lin Jiu didn't understand for a moment, "Me and Huo Shen?"
"Yes." Grandma's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.
"About three or four months." Lin Jiu was referring to the time she and Huo Shen had known each other.
"That's great." Grandma looked at Grandpa excitedly. The two old people were so excited that they thought Lin Jiu was talking about the three or four months pregnancy.
Bang!
Suddenly there was a sound.
Everyone looked at Huo Shen.
He slammed his chopsticks on the table, pinched his neck with his other hand, his face flushed, and turned and ran out of the restaurant.
what happened?
Lin Jiu saw Huo Shen's chopsticks on the table, with a piece of meat that had been bitten.
Grandpa was immediately furious and stood up and yelled towards the kitchen, "Housekeeper, who in the kitchen is so careless that he let Xiao Shenzi eat mutton!"
Grandma quickly held Lin Jiu's hand and comforted her, "Granddaughter-in-law, your grandfather has such a hot temper. Xiao Shenzi can't eat mutton, so he is like this."
"Grandma, I'll go see him." Lin Jiu finally had a reason to leave the restaurant and quickly headed towards the pavilion in the garden.
However, Huo Shen was not in the pavilion. She walked into the garden and saw Huo Shen lying on the grass in the garden with his eyes closed.
