The new military compound and the troops were not close to each other, so in order to avoid delays, Sun Qian moved directly into the Huo family's house.
Today is a special day for Sun Qian, and she got up early this morning to get ready.
Her long, flowing hair was braided into two pigtails. She applied face cream, painted her pink lips with bright lipstick, put on the jewelry Huo Jun had bought yesterday, and changed into a military green uniform. Anyone who saw her would call her a beautiful woman.
Sun Qian stood up and twirled around in front of the mirror, admiring herself.
With a bang, the door was pushed open by force.
"Oh my, Huo Jun's nephew's new wife is rich! These jade bracelets and necklaces, I wouldn't even dare to buy them," Huo's third cousin said sourly.
Her eyes were glued to Sun Qian's hand, the unspoken message being clear: 'Be smart and hand over the jade jewelry.'
Sun Qian sneered inwardly: "How come my third cousin's husband won't even buy you a piece of jewelry? My third cousin is really pitiful."
"you!"
"Third Sister." Fifth Cousin Huo glared at her, and Third Cousin Huo remained silent with a sour face.
"Sisi, right? Your third cousin has a quick temper but a good heart. Don't pay any attention to her. We, as her cousins, are just here to see if you need any help."
Sun Qian coldly replied, "No."
Despite being met with indifference, Huo Wu's cousin wasn't annoyed. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "Qianqian looks so beautiful in this dress. Our Jun'er is so lucky to have married you. Look at your tender face, your full breasts, and your tiny waist. If I were a man, I would be smitten with you."
"Here, this is a red envelope from your fifth cousin. Don't think it's too little."
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
Sun Qian glanced at the red envelope and saw its thickness. Her stern face softened, and a fake smile appeared on her lips.
"Thank you, Fifth Cousin."
"Oh, good girl." Huo Wu, the fifth cousin, patted Sun Qian's hand and turned to the other sisters, saying, "What are you all standing there for? Where are your red envelopes?"
Upon hearing this, several people stepped forward, surrounded Sun Qian, handed her red envelopes, touched her clothes, and said sweet words.
A thoughtful look flashed in Sun Qian's eyes. It seemed that it was true that her uncle doted on his youngest daughter the most.
Looking at the other four who were so useless, Sun Qian despised them from the bottom of her heart and temporarily removed them from her list of number one enemies.
Huo Wu's cousin is the one she should be most wary of.
She would not give up the Huo family's assets so easily.
The women chatted and laughed, but behind the scenes, a storm was brewing.
"Sisi, it's almost time, we should go out." Huo Jun came into the house to greet them.
After giving Huo Jun a few words of advice, his older cousins left, leaving the young couple alone.
After the five people left, Huo Jun frowned: "They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
On this important day, he cannot allow any mistakes to happen.
Sun Qian thought Huo Jun was concerned about her, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm on guard against them. Besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jun carefully examined Sun Qian from head to toe again. After noticing anything unusual, his heart, which had been pounding wildly, calmed down a bit.
"Let's go outside."
Huo Jun raised his arm, and Sun Qian affectionately took his arm, and the two walked out of the house hand in hand.
at the same time.
Liu Cuicui brought Song Wanying to the vicinity of the compound.
Originally, Liu Cuicui did not plan to bring Song Wanying with her after the two met.
She felt ashamed to have a divorced 'aunt' in her life.
But Song Wanying's words gave her a bad idea.
"Cuicui, aren't we going in?" Song Wanying asked, puzzled, when she saw Liu Cuicui stop about four or five hundred meters away from the courtyard.
"It's not time yet, let's wait a little longer."
Although she didn't quite believe Su Wantang's words, nor did she believe she would be so kind, Liu Cuicui wasn't stupid. She knew that only when everyone was there and things started to escalate would there be a good show to watch, and only then could she secure her position as Huo's daughter-in-law.
After all, compared to the deputy political commissar's daughter, she, a disgraced escaped educated youth, was simply a laughing stock delivered to his door. Even a fool would know which to choose.
Liu Cuicui touched her slightly bulging belly, her eyes flashing with a determined ruthlessness.
Baby, you are Mommy's last resort.
Half an hour later, people started arriving one after another.
Also present were Huo Xiaoyan and her daughter Huo Yan.
When she met her enemy, Liu Cuicui almost couldn't resist the urge to rush forward and tear those two vile women apart. Fortunately, she felt a stomachache and managed to pull back the half-stretched foot in time.
A kind smile appeared on her face.
Bao'an, you are truly a blessing to your mother.
Another half hour passed, and Liu Cuicui led Song Wanying into the courtyard.
With an invitation, the two registered and went inside.
After taking a couple of steps, the two turned back.
"Comrade, may I ask which family is the Huo family?"
Wang Bin frowned: "You don't know the Huo family, where did you get this invitation?"
As soon as he entered, he sensed that the two men were up to no good, and he wasn't sure if he was mistaken, but he could smell a very faint scent of blood in the air.
“I’m Huo Jun’s biological mother’s niece. This is my first time in the compound, so I don’t know the situation. Besides, why would someone who isn’t close to me have an invitation?” Song Wanying said quickly.
With this reasoning in place, Wang Bin's initial wariness subsided, and he pointed in a direction for the two of them.
“Go straight to the end, turn right, and go into the third courtyard.”
"Thank you, comrade."
In the courtyard, after Huo Qing gave a speech recognizing his relatives, everyone applauded and congratulated him. Then, he led Huo Jun and Sun Qian to toast each table.
Since it was a family dinner, there weren't many formalities, and men and women weren't separated into different tables; everyone could sit wherever they wanted.
Soon, the toasts were offered to Lu Huai'an and Su Wantang's table.
Upon seeing Su Wantang, Huo Qing frowned slightly, his heart filled with complex emotions.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have run into Jun'er at the hospital, but it was also she who refused to treat Zhan'er's leg.
Huo Qing ignored Su Wantang raising her glass to Lu Huai'an, his tone slightly somber: "Why didn't your grandfather come?"
Hearing this, Sun Qian, who was standing behind Huo Qing, felt a chill run down her spine.
"Grandpa is not feeling well, and my parents are busy and can't take time off."
The truth is, upon learning of Huo Qing's disgraceful behavior, they deliberately chose not to come.
Clearly, Huo Qing wasn't confused; his expression was rather unpleasant.
But what could he do?
He only has one heir, how can we give up when there is hope?
Later, after recognizing Jun'er, didn't he immediately abandon his previous plans?
Qin Zhan, who was sitting nearby, immediately got up and left his seat upon hearing this.
"What happened to your grandfather in Huai'an?"
"Grandpa Qin, Grandpa just has some old ailments."
"Then tell him I'll visit him another day."
"good."
Seeing the group start chatting, Sun Qian couldn't keep up her smile. She had originally wanted to give Su Wantang a hard time, but when she got there, she realized that the man Su Wantang had married was no ordinary man either.
Seeing Sun Qian's embarrassed expression, Su Wantang felt a strange sense of sympathy.
He couldn't hold back anymore?
Liu Cuicui and Song Wanying arrived shortly afterward...
As Su Wantang was thinking this, she heard a familiar voice the next second.
"Brother Huo, I'm pregnant."
