Chapter 115
Xu Heming didn't know where this person's hostility came from, but he didn't care. After all, he was just there for a routine inquiry, and he didn't care if there was anything he could do to help.
I don't need this person to do anything for me, so whether this person likes me or not is not important.
The most important thing is that he can do this job well for the Emperor.
Huo Yunxuan felt a little discouraged when he saw that Xu Heming didn't react at all to his provocative gaze.
Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. Li Tianyou didn't want me to be his son-in-law back then, and he doesn't want this guy either.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunxuan felt somewhat unwilling.
After all, no one likes to be ignored. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he was still a chosen one.
Thinking of this, Huo Yunxuan quickly changed his expression and smiled as Xu Heming was about to turn and leave, pulling Xu Heming back.
"Your Highness, Lord Li and I have been friends for many years. I've always heard that Lord Li has a new son-in-law, and I've wanted to meet him for a long time. I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and didn't react in time. I apologize to you for that." Huo Yunxuan said warmly.
"Young Master Huo, there's no need to worry about it." Xu Heming awkwardly pulled his hand away from Huo Yunxuan's.
He didn't like this overly enthusiastic approach; he always felt that Huo Yunxuan was acting strangely.
However, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Since this person was recommended by Li Tianyou, he must be a trustworthy person.
"I don't care, I don't care. I've finally met you in person. You are indeed handsome and talented. No wonder Miss Li took a liking to you." Huo Yunxuan was a seasoned businessman and had long since developed a silver tongue. Even though he actually despised Xu Heming in his heart, he could still say some nice compliments.
Xu Heming frowned slightly; he didn't like this feeling.
However, since the person in front of him was a friend of his future father-in-law, and now that he had helped the emperor find out the accounts of the Six Ministries, he couldn't afford to offend him too much, so he could only smile and deal with him.
"Young Master Huo, you flatter me. Indeed, I did not expect that you would have such abilities at such a young age. I admire you."
"Your Highness, you flatter me. Speaking of which, we should be about the same age. As for ability, how could I dare to compare with Your Highness? I was originally going back to Li'an County, but I came to help because Lord Li was so kind to invite me. I didn't expect him to be even busier than me. Alas, I am a stranger in the capital and don't even have a friend to drink with. Today, I met Your Highness and we hit it off immediately. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting Your Highness to drink with me at Deyue Tower today?" Huo Yunxuan looked at Xu Heming with a troubled expression and asked.
Xu Heming initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this person was, after all, a good friend of his father-in-law. His father-in-law was probably too busy to attend to him right now, so as Li Tianyou's future son-in-law, he should entertain his friend on his behalf and do his duty as a host.
“Young Master Huo is too kind. If anyone should be inviting you for drinks, it should be me, Xu. If you don’t mind, I will invite you to dine at Deyuelou later,” Xu Heming quickly said.
"Haha, then I, Huo, will gladly accept your offer. Coincidentally, I brought a pot of fine wine with me. I'll go back and get it later and bring it to you so you can have a good taste," Huo Yunxuan replied with a smile.
Overjoyed, the fish had taken the bait!
Tang Xiuyong watched Huo Yunxuan, who was completely different from before, and felt like he was seeing a ghost. After all, all day long, this young master Huo sat there with his face as black as ink, and no matter what he asked him, he ignored him.
This sudden burst of enthusiasm is like a completely different person.
For some reason, Tang Xiuyong broke out in a cold sweat. He had no idea who this Young Master Huo was. He was the Minister of Revenue and should have seen a lot, but he dared not provoke this Young Master Huo in the slightest.
When Xu Heming arrived at Deyuelou in the evening, Huo Yunxuan was already sitting in the side room waiting for him.
