Chapter 435 Three parts resemblance to him is enough
"I heard that Gu Qian returned to China ahead of schedule. Now, Xu Cheng is the only one overseas negotiating cooperation," the man said mysteriously.
You mean?
"If there's nothing urgent, why aren't you all abroad together? There must be some important progress back home!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although it's just a guess, everyone thinks it makes sense.
Unlike what these people discuss in private.
At this moment, in a low-key Chinese-style clubhouse.
All the most important figures in City A gathered here.
The people who came were not limited to Old Master Fu, Old Madam Qin, Old Master Li, the Zhou family, the Li family, the Sun family, and so on.
We're here today for a simple get-together, to have some tea and play some chess.
Since Huo Yanmo's father had passed away and his grandfather had also died, Xu Qinxin was the one who came to the Huo family.
No one from the Lu family came.
"Old Lu is sick and hospitalized again." Seemingly because he didn't see Lu Qiansheng, the old man of the Zhou family said, "His health is getting worse and worse."
Grandma Qin took a sip of tea and then said, "His health has always been poor. I remember he was almost dying a few years ago. It was only after Lu Yanzhi and Shi Nian got married to bring him good luck that he gradually recovered."
Fu Boxiao made a move in the game and said, "That's right, Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi's divorce was a big blow to the old couple as well."
Speaking of this, Old Zhou became interested. He looked at Xu Qinxin and asked, "Qinxin, is it true that Shi Nian is going to marry Yan Mo?"
Xu Qinxin was wearing a well-tailored cheongsam. When she heard Old Zhou's kind question, she smiled and nodded, putting down the Da Hong Pao tea she was smelling.
“Yes, it won’t be long,” she said. “Yan Mo specially ordered a wedding dress and prepared everything else. Everyone is welcome to attend.”
As he spoke, he greeted everyone present.
This is a huge tea room.
Beside countless expensive wooden tables and chairs stood the heads of various families.
Many people present responded to Xu Qinxin when they saw her.
Finally, Xu Qinxin nodded to the people from the Li family.
She still remembered that someone had wanted to introduce the Li family's daughter to Huo Yanmo.
Old Li, who was leaning on his cane, didn't say anything, but his face looked a little pale. He nodded nonetheless.
"What has Shi Nian been up to lately?" Old Zhou continued to ask. "Have you taken your wedding photos? Where are you planning your honeymoon? Is everything ready?"
That's asking a question you already know the answer to.
Shi Nian has been making quite a stir lately.
In particular, Fu Jinyan's "dog theory" was widely circulated, and the news came quickly to those present, so how could they not know?
Before Xu Qinxin could figure out how to answer, Fu Boxiao spoke first.
“I’m working on an investment project for Yuyan.” Fu Boxiao placed another piece and said, “My third grandson is also involved.”
"I heard it's not just about getting involved," Old Man Li said.
Fu Boxiao smiled and said, "I was just being modest. You took it seriously, old man Li. Has the Li family declined? Why are you trying to create a bond of interests by marrying off your granddaughter?"
There have been quite a few matchmakers trying to set up Li's daughter with someone lately.
She not only introduced Huo Yanmo to someone, but also Fu Jinyan, and other families; she had heard of them all.
Grandma Sun smiled, glanced at Grandpa Li, and then looked at Grandma Qin, who was sipping tea.
She said, "Old Qin, didn't I hear you recently acted in a play with Shi Nian? How's that girl doing?"
Grandma Qin put down her cup again, looked up, and glanced around at everyone present.
Everyone was watching her with great interest.
Grandma Qin was still wearing the same simple clothes she wore when she met Shi Nian today, except that she had a gemstone cufflink that Shi Nian had brought as a gift pinned to her cuff.
There were many people present who had met Shi Nian, but they were either related to her interests or, like Xu Qinxin, were Shi Nian's future mother-in-law. Their opinions of Shi Nian were not very accurate.
However, Grandma Qin's perspective is different. Although it may be somewhat biased, it can still serve as a reference.
Grandma Qin straightened her cuffs and then said, "It's quite good. She has some of the style of her father back then."
"How many points?" someone continued to ask.
Grandma Qin smiled, looked at the man, and replied, "Three points."
Three out of ten points seems like a failing grade, but the expressions of those present varied.
"Is it that amazing?"
"Shi Yichen is a genius. Could she possibly possess even a fraction of his abilities?"
"Grandma Qin, don't romanticize Shi Nian. Shi Yichen died a long time ago. Shi Nian has been raised independently all these years, and was even supported by Lu Yanzhi for a long time."
These words displeased Xu Qinxin.
"What are you saying? Shi Nian is very good. It's just that Shi Yichen died young. Otherwise, look at the younger generation now, there are very few who can compare to her." Xu Qinxin immediately defended Shi Nian.
Immediately, some busybodies looked at Fu Boxiao and said, "I heard that Fu Jinyan recently insisted on having the dog he read back then?"
That's definitely bringing up a sore spot.
Although Fu Jinyan spoke happily, he was still Fu Jinyan. The person sitting here now was Fu Boxiao, the head of the Fu family, one of the three major powers in City A.
Moreover, these words offended both sides at once.
One family is the Fu family, and the other is the Sun family.
The Fu family's reason was naturally because of Fu Jinyan, while the Sun family's reason was because Sun Jiaming was Fu Jinyan's girlfriend.
For families like theirs, arranged marriages are very normal. They call each other boyfriend and girlfriend, but they've already implicitly agreed to be a community of shared interests. Unless something really important happens, they won't break up.
Fu Boxiao smiled coldly and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Sun scoffed, "Children's jokes, and you're bringing them up in public?"
Moreover, Fu Jinyan is an unreliable person to begin with, and this is not the only joke he has made over the years.
Bringing this up at this point would be tantamount to publicly humiliating them.
"I was just joking, I just don't believe Shi Nian is really that amazing."
The man scoffed, "If she were really that strong, why would Lu Yanzhi have divorced her?"
"What you're saying," Xu Qinxin sneered, speaking bluntly, "are you saying my Yanmo is an idiot?"
As they spoke, their two beautifully described eyes looked directly at each other.
It was as if they wanted to see what else the other person could say!
"Oh, I was just kidding. We all know Huo Yanmo is a sentimental person, whether it's his relationship with his younger siblings or his relationship with Shi Nian," the person replied.
Although that's how it's said, the meaning is quite clear.
That means Huo Yanmo is a hopeless romantic.
I was blinded by love and was deceived by Shi Nian.
"And who knows..." The man didn't say what he meant next, leaving it to everyone's imagination.
