Chapter 129 It's just too troublesome
Seeing how considerate Fang Lanxin was to him, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Ms. Fang!"
Fang Lanxin was quite clear about why she was thanking them this time.
"I can't have dinner with you on New Year's Eve, so you can stay at the villa on the hillside and spend the New Year with Uncle Hu and the others."
"The Huo family has a very strict New Year's Eve dinner, so you probably don't want to see that scene."
Fang Lanxin sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
Soon, Lunar New Year's Eve arrived, and the entire Huo family mansion was decorated in a very festive manner.
Fang Lanxin took a lot of things home with her.
As soon as she entered, Tianle rushed out dressed in red, looking like a red envelope, and ran into Fang Lanxin's arms.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
"Grandma, I love you!"
Tianle hugged Fang Lanxin's waist and began to whisper sweet nothings.
After the child recovered, even his personality became much more cheerful. Fang Lanxin bent down, picked up the child, smiled gently, and then said, "Oh my, our little Tianle has grown so much! I can hardly carry you anymore!"
"Grandma, have I gained weight?" Tianle looked at Fang Lanxin with a puzzled expression and asked.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin pinched his nose, smiled gently, and said, "No, you've grown taller. Come on, see what Grandma bought for you!"
Fang Lanxin glanced behind her, and Ah Shuang quickly came over with a suitcase. When she opened it, it was full of gifts that Fang Lanxin had brought for the children.
Upon seeing these things, Tianle was immediately overjoyed: "Wow! These are so beautiful! Thank you, Grandma! You're so good to me, Grandma! I love you so much!"
Tianle hugged Fang Lanxin and gave her a big kiss.
Fang Lanxin wasn't particularly good to this child in her previous life, but now, seeing how dependent and fond the child is of her, Fang Lanxin feels a little regretful. Perhaps she should have been kinder to this child, even kinder!
"Mom, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!" Lin Meiling immediately came over, looking at Fang Lanxin with joy: "Everything's been arranged at home, just waiting for you to come back!"
Fang Lanxin smiled at Lin Meiling, then magically produced a seashell necklace and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "These are seashells I collected myself, and I made them myself. Do you like them?"
"Seriously, this is so beautiful!"
"Mom, you're amazing!"
Lin Meiling immediately burst into laughter. At this moment, she no longer cared about expensive gifts; what mattered most was Fang Lanxin's thoughtfulness.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin smiled, then took her hand and led her inside.
"Mom, look, Grandma bought me so much!"
"Grandma's favorite is definitely me!"
Tianle looked at Lin Meiling with a grin, clearly showing off that he had more gifts.
Upon entering, they found that there were quite a few people inside, including Huo Zhenhong and the Huo family patriarch. They were supposed to go back to pay New Year's visits on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but they didn't expect them to come over at this time.
Fang Lanxin smiled, then greeted everyone and distributed all the gifts she had brought back.
Although they had already fallen out, it was clear that Fang Lanxin could still pretend that nothing had happened.
"Mom, you're finally back."
Huo Qibang had just returned from outside when he saw Fang Lanxin and immediately greeted her happily.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
"I'm going to cook the New Year's Eve dinner myself tonight, Mom. Please try my cooking, okay?"
Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
Fang Lanxin knew that in front of outsiders, they still had to show their deep mother-son bond and harmonious family life; otherwise, the group itself would also be affected.
"Great, it's been a long time since I've seen you cook yourself." Fang Lanxin smiled and looked at Huo Qibang.
Huo Zhenhong said directly, "Sister-in-law has been in the fishing village for a while, so she hasn't been able to eat Abang's cooking, right?"
"Sister-in-law, what's so great about that fishing village? Why do you insist on going there? Is Hong Kong not big enough for you?" Huo Zhenhong looked at Fang Lanxin with a face full of curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin's lips curled up slightly, and she said calmly, "I do have a project to work on over there. What? When did you become so interested in my affairs? Have you figured out your own business?"
Huo Zhenhong had been facing both internal and external troubles lately, and his life had been extremely difficult. Upon hearing these words, his expression immediately changed, revealing an indescribable sense of guilt.
However, Fang Lanxin did not continue the topic, but simply picked up a piece of fruit and ate it.
Having spent so long in the fishing village, she had gotten quite tanned. When the fourth wife saw her rough appearance, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't had any massages or anything since you came back? Why do you look so haggard?"
"Mom?"
Huo Xianxian looked at her mother in disbelief, never expecting that she would help to blame Fang Lanxin at this moment.
She walked over and sat down next to Fang Lanxin, took Fang Lanxin's arm, and whispered, "Auntie, you still look very beautiful and healthy."
"You have such good taste. No wonder you graduated from a proper art university, your aesthetic sense is just so good." Fang Lanxin smiled gently at her. "Xianxian, didn't you say you wanted to work at a gallery? I've already thought it through. They're short of a curator right now. If you don't mind, you can go."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhong could hardly believe his ears. He looked at Huo Xianxian and asked, "Why are you still thinking about working for your aunt? Isn't the studio at home enough for you to showcase your talents?"
"I just wanted to be with my aunt and learn about curating; that's all."
"Dad, why are you so nervous?"
Huo Xianxian took a deep breath and looked at Huo Zhenhong with a face full of curiosity.
"Dad, do you not want me to work for my aunt?"
At this moment, Fang Lanxin also looked at Huo Zhenhong.
"What, you don't trust Xianxian to be with me?"
Huo Zhenhong was certainly not at ease!
But he still said, "Of course not, I'm just worried. I'm afraid the child will cause you trouble because he's not very sensible."
"No trouble at all, I like Xianxian."
