Grandpa Huo had no doubt about his grandson's charm.
Huo Yuntang was just like he was in his youth—handsome, elegant, and shrewd. He was a well-known wealthy young master in the entire Linjiang City.
Otherwise, with so many grandsons, why was Huo Yuntang chosen as the heir to the Huo family and in control of the vast Huo Group?
"Your future father-in-law doesn't think highly of you. Since that's the case, you should show him your business acumen!" Old Master Huo didn't mind teaching Xie Sidu a lesson; this junior was taking himself too seriously.
Huo Yuntang's eyes flickered slightly: "Okay."
The plan to target the Xie family was already in place; all that was left was to strike at their root and deliver the final blow.
At that point, he'll be the one at their mercy, and the marriage arrangement will be entirely up to him.
——
Linjiang International Airport, after the plane landed.
Standing on this land once again, Ding Huizhu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
She was a native of Linjiang City and later married into the Xie family. Although she occasionally traveled for tourism or business, she had never left Linjiang City for such a long time.
The Xie family never once went to the capital to bring her back.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy. On such a day of family reunion, the Xie family should be inviting her back to their home in a grand manner.
I wonder if Xie Sidu will come to pick her up in person today.
However, she was soon disappointed. They waited for half an hour, and Wan's wife, who was with them, retrieved all the checked luggage, but still no one contacted her.
Grandma Ding grew impatient and urged, "Huizhu, Ziyuan, call and urge Sidu and Yuntang. They're back, aren't you going to come and pick them up?"
Grandma Ding bought a lot of things in the capital this time, and she planned to show off to everyone what a wonderful life she was living in the capital and which family head she had met.
She brought four suitcases, each one packed full.
Of course, all of these were bought with Ding Huizhu's money, and some were gifts from Shen Linyuan.
Ding Huizhu pursed her lips, remained silent, and cast a hopeful glance at Xie Ziyuan.
Yesterday, Huo Yuntang took the initiative to contact Xie Ziyuan, and the two poured out their hearts to each other. Sister Wan had told her about this, so Huo Yuntang will probably come to pick her up at the airport in person today.
Xie Ziyuan held her phone, her face looking rather pale. "Grandma, Mom, let's take a taxi back."
She had already told Huo Yuntang yesterday that she would be back today, and if he had any interest, he should have seen the flight number she posted on her WeChat Moments.
We've waited so long and they still haven't arrived; they probably aren't coming.
She had already put aside her pride and suppressed her shyness to confess her feelings to Huo Yuntang yesterday, so it was impossible for her to lower herself and beg him to pick her up at the airport again; that would seem too beneath her.
But Mrs. Ding was unhappy. How could she take a taxi herself? She was a wealthy socialite who had never taken a taxi in her life!
“If you’re unwilling to make contact, I will!” Old Mrs. Ding first made a phone call to Xie Sidu.
The secretary answered the phone. After giving her instructions, Old Mrs. Ding grumbled a few words and then made another call to Huo Yuntang.
As luck would have it, Huo Yuntang's phone was answered by his assistant. "Young Master is busy right now. The old master had a cold today and is on his way to the hospital..."
Grandma Ding was startled. Grandpa Huo was sick? Wasn't he always well-maintained?
However, this is also a good opportunity. Old Master Huo is sick, and Xie Ziyuan, as a junior, should visit him. Afterwards, she can naturally stay to take care of Old Master Huo.
Xie Ziyuan has already reached the level of an advanced alchemist, so she must have a way to cure Old Master Huo.
