Huo Jianguo took Lu Zhiyuan upstairs. When Huo's mother heard the noise downstairs, she took a deep breath.
I forced myself to get ready for the dinner.
As soon as it got dark in the evening, several cars were parked in front of the Huo family's old house.
The first to be affected was the Xie family. Old man Xie, dressed in a Tang suit, was supported by Xie Jing and walked happily into the yard.
Following behind him were Xie's second and third uncles.
It seemed like Lu Zhiye was given enough face. Of course, it would be better if we ignored the gloomy expressions of the second and third brothers.
Next came the Wang family, the Meng family, the Qi family, etc. Even the Jing family, the dark horse family that emerged recently, came.
Huo Jianguo and Lu Zhiye stood upstairs, looking down through the window.
"This time the banquet was sent out in the name of Mr. Huo, and several major families have learned of your coming.
The documents you brought are not secret, so many people are eager to see you.
I don't need to say much about the Xie family, they will naturally be on your side.
But you must be careful with the Wang family and the Meng family.
The Wang family and the Xie family have always been at odds with each other. Once they find out about your relationship, they will definitely make things difficult for you.
As for the Meng family, they have always been ranked fourth and have tried their best to move up to the top three.
He didn't like any of the top three, so he wanted to take this opportunity to pull others down and fill in his place?
He is an old fox, a man who speaks sweet words but has a sharp tongue. If you can avoid dealing with him, then do so.
By the way, the Meng family is also funny. He has six wives and 12 daughters, but not a single son.
In the past, many people came to Hong Kong City to work hard, and those who were slightly capable were taken away by him to be his son-in-law.
Two of them were driven crazy, tsk tsk tsk......～"
At this point, Huo Jianguo looked Lu Zhiye up and down and said, "You look like you are in danger..."
Lu Zhiye thought his words were a little funny: "I already have three children at home, how can I be someone else's son-in-law?"
Huo Jianguo shook his head: "That's hard to say, he values ability.
Besides, there is no such thing as monogamy here.
Although the Marriage Law has been promulgated, look at the upper class, how many people care about it?
The most important thing is that the Meng family has many daughters. It doesn’t matter whether a daughter is the eldest wife or not. The most important thing is whether she can bring him benefits.”
Lu Zhiye felt that the people in the Meng family were a little bit crazy, right?
Whether it is the Meng family of the past or the Meng family of now, they are all somewhat scary!
Huo Jianguo covered his mouth and chuckled: "Look at the third family, only Huo Jianqi stood up to speak, the other one didn't dare to say anything, why is that?"
Lu Zhiye also remembered the young man with gloomy eyes who had been hiding at the back of the crowd.
Somewhat puzzled, he asked, “Why is that?”
Huo Jianguo covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "He was kidnapped by the seventh daughter of the Meng family and tortured for a long time.
The Meng family shamelessly came to propose marriage, but how could the old man agree?
Do you know how the matter was resolved in the end?"
There was no need for Lu Zhiye to guess, Huo Jianguo gave the answer immediately: "The old man is determined not to agree, and the third room is making a big fuss and insists on an explanation.
The Meng family had no choice but to send the seventh son to the old house next door.
I heard that when the seventh son of the Meng family was carried out, there was not a single piece of good meat on his body.
He only had one breath left, and died before he could reach home.
After all, Mr. Meng was in the wrong in this matter. In order to please the Huo family, he could only swallow his anger.
Although we fight fiercely among ourselves, the Huo family is united as one in front of outsiders.
So over the years, the Meng family has been giving us a lot of trouble."
Huo Jianguo shook his head as he spoke. From then on, the fifth son of the Huo family developed a paranoid and gloomy personality.
He has a smart mind, and Huo Jianguo guessed that he had many ideas and they were all guided by him.
Otherwise, with Huo Jianqi's stupid brain, he would never be able to think of such a method.
They just pick up weapons and want to fight others!
Huo Jianjun also came up from downstairs: "Almost everyone is here, let's go downstairs.
Xiao Ye, you don't have to worry. Since my father has organized this banquet, he won't ruin his own place.
Plus, with Mr. Xie here, no one will come to your door without any eyes, so you can just sit back and relax."
When Huo Jianjun said this, he felt a little lacking in confidence.
Among the major families, although they are the leaders, they are restrained from each other.
You should also give face when you are outside!
These people are full of bad intentions, and it is impossible to ask them to say good things.
It's just that some people don't make things difficult for Lu Zhiye for the sake of the two big families.
Music was already playing in the audience. Mr. Huo thought that Lu Zhiye was young, so he gave the opening dance to Huo Jianqi.
Huo Jianqi held the hand of a short-haired beauty with a big smile on his face.
But Lu Zhiye felt that his smile was so fake, as if he was wearing a mask.
Huo Jianguo gloated and said: "That's the marriage partner the old man told him about!
The Wang family, they are not in harmony with each other. "
Lu Zhiye glanced at his second senior brother in surprise: "You haven't got married in all these years, and you don't have a single partner.
The old man just let you go so easily?"
Huo Jianjun next to him couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "When we were just preparing to arrange a marriage for him, he ran away to the mainland.
It’s impossible for the girl to wait for him for so many years. Well, that’s the one the old man told him about.”
Huo Jianjun raised his chin slightly and motioned Lu Zhiye to look to the other side.
There were several ladies sitting there, and judging by their attire, most of them were married.
Among them was a woman with a peaceful face and a tiny black hat on her head as an ornament. She was looking at Huo Jianguo with a resentful expression.
Huo Jianguo touched his nose awkwardly: "Brother, let's not talk about old things."
"Her husband had an accident some time ago, and you are still single, so she has set her sights on you."
Lu Zhiye didn't expect to hear such a shocking secret. If Professor Qi had heard it, he would have been very nosy and would have come up to him.
After the opening dance, Mr. Huo stood on the stage happily and said, "Inviting everyone here this time is just one of the reasons for introducing Mr. Lu from the mainland.
The second is that I invited the champion of the God of Cooking competition some time ago.
It’s a good opportunity for everyone to have a taste of his cooking skills…”
Lu Zhiye was very surprised: "There is also a chef competition?"
Huo Jianguo shrugged his shoulders and said, "These are all people who are just trying to gain fame and reputation. They set up some kind of competition to make their apprentices famous.
I didn’t expect that this time a little-known chef would win the championship. All the companies behind the company have shares.
Now we have something interesting to watch......"
