The car stopped at the gate of the manor.
The Huo family had already sent someone here to greet them, and the old man, who was old, was waiting for them in the living room.
Huo Xiao attached great importance to this matter, so he prepared all the details of the process today, so he didn't have time to wait for them at the door.
The living room has been decorated and aromas are already coming from the kitchen.
"Everyone, please."
The housekeeper led a group of people into the living room. When the old man saw someone coming, he immediately stood up to greet him. He only knew Shen Nanxing and his wife and was very unfamiliar with the others.
Huo Xiao immediately came out of the kitchen and stood beside his father, introducing them one by one.
People from the Shen family and the Zhao family are here today. They are now living together as a big group, and they are all Fu Shihuan's family members.
Even Anna was brought here today. Fu Shihuan personally invited her, saying that as her future sister-in-law and close friend, she must attend today's banquet.
After introducing each other, they sat down and exchanged pleasantries.
"I really like this girl. I would love to have her as our daughter-in-law. I just don't know what the Shen family's requirements are."
The old man was an experienced person and no longer bothered to be polite about many things. He simply said a few words and then got straight to the point.
Their family has already prepared a lot of things, but they are afraid that Shen Jiahui will mention his request, so it is better to ask clearly.
The stepmother sitting next to him was particularly unhappy and looked extremely angry, but all his behavior did not attract anyone's attention and everyone treated it as air.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, the stepmother became even angrier and stood up and said, "Young people nowadays just don't respect themselves. They've caused the two families to be in such a mess. You're rushing to get married. It's pitiful that my niece is already ready to marry into the family, but still..."
He paused here, glanced at Shen Qing, stepped forward and took the other person's hand and said, "This girl from your family is really lucky. Who made Huo Xiao like her so much? When she marries in, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter."
Of course, Chen Qin also had some understanding of the Huo family, and she also knew what role the woman in front of her played in this family.
He had just married into this family not long ago, and he didn't expect that he could be the head of the family here. After all, the old man had never given him a status, and the two of them just performed a simple ceremony.
The old man didn't want his son's future property to be threatened so he didn't even register it.
"Thank you so much. I know my daughter well. She's well-educated, well-behaved, and sensible. I believe everyone will like her very much. When she marries into your family, she can become your good sister."
Chen Qing's mouth is extremely vicious and he doesn't forgive anyone at all. Normally, he just avoids her, but when she really makes him angry, she can say all kinds of unpleasant words.
Scholars don't use swear words when they curse others, but the words they say are particularly heartbreaking.
The stepmother laughed, walked over, took the old man's arm and said, "Mother-in-law, what you said is really interesting. We are already husband and wife, how can we be sisters? When this child marries into this family, she will be the daughter-in-law of this family. She will be responsible for the chores of the family every day. I'm afraid it will be very tiring. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me."
Although he suffered a little loss at the hands of Chen Qing, his fighting power was not weakened at all. He was still the same when confronting others, without any reservations.
Mr. Shen was already unhappy when he heard this, but he couldn't lose his temper in such an occasion. He pushed the person and asked Fu Shihuan,
"Just settle it right there between you two. After you get married, do you plan to stay home and take care of the kids, or go back to work?"
The sudden question made Fu Shihuan a little confused. He had never thought about this problem before, but he knew that he didn't want to stay at home. His parents let him study not to have children at home.
What's more, I'm doing very well in the company now and the work there is also easy for me, so I don't want to give up at all.
The company is still in its growth phase, so I don’t want to waste my talents in vain.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "I still want to go back to the company."
"Hey, I guessed you would say that, kid. But since you're married into the Huo family, why don't you go to work at the Huo family's company after marriage? Our Huo family has a lot of assets, and we can arrange for you to go to the municipal government when the time comes?"
The old man's intention is very obvious. He wants to control his daughter-in-law in this way.
Only by working in Huojia Company can you keep abreast of the other party's dynamics at any time.
"That won't do. He signed a contract with the company. If he just quits, he'll have to pay compensation. Our family has always been fair and impartial. It's better to wait until his contract with the company expires and let him make his own decision."
Shen Ling spoke immediately.
Although it was not appropriate for him to interrupt in an occasion like today, he also did not want Fu Shihuan to become a banner for others.
After hearing this, Mr. Huo didn't say anything else.
Anyway, these things can be solved later, so there is no need to rush now.
Lunch was ready and the old man invited everyone to sit down and eat while chatting.
All the details of the wedding are left to the young couple to plan, and the elders can only do some etiquette exchanges.
The Huo family offered several properties and some shares as betrothal gifts, and specifically stated that there was no need to bring any expensive dowry, after all, their family had everything they needed.
She also mentioned specifically that these shares were to be given to the baby in her unborn child.
"Dad, that's not what you told me yesterday. I am marrying a wife, and I am willing to do it. I am not forced to be with him because of the child in his belly." Huo Xiao has a straightforward personality and is not as cunning as his father.
I always thought that my father agreed to this marriage, but in the end it was all about interests.
Still nitpicking about some of the things here, or holding on to the things that are most beneficial to you.
This child is the blood of the Huo family and must not be given to outsiders. If he is given to the daughter-in-law, it will be a different story.
The Shen family members are all very smart, and of course they understand the meaning of this.
Ana Shen even complained to Zhao Yunfeng in a low voice, “I knew it wouldn’t be that easy, but I really didn’t expect this old man to have so many thoughts. It seems that today’s party will end in failure.”
"I don't think so."
Zhao Yunfeng took a sip of water and said to Ana Shen.
