As Huo Jinxin had predicted, Qian Chengyi approached Li Xiaolan entirely because he was on the opposite side of the Huo family.
Huo Jinxin told her family about the information she had obtained, and also told them everything she had learned from Huo Jinning last time.
Everyone suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that this money-driven mentality was utterly pervasive and impossible to guard against.
The enemy was so powerful and adept at disguise. If it weren't for Huo Jinning's sudden appearance, it wouldn't be surprising if their family had ended up with the fate Huo Jinning had predicted.
The next day, Huo Jinxin dressed up in an exceptionally solemn manner.
She wore a pink dress, white leather shoes, a pink diamond bracelet, and her slightly curled hair was styled into an elegant princess hairstyle, adorned with a delicate diamond crown hair clip. She looked like a lovely little princess.
However, in real life, isn't Huo Jinxin also a real princess?
Wei Zechen drove Huo Jinxin to a private restaurant.
This is a place Wei Zechen frequents. He has a good relationship with the owners, a husband and wife. Otherwise, ordinary people would need to make a reservation at least two months in advance if they want to dine here.
"Aze, you brought your girlfriend? This girl is really pretty, you're lucky!" the proprietress said with a smile.
"Aunt Hu, please don't joke around." Wei Zechen's face turned bright red instantly, and he hurriedly explained, afraid that Huo Jinxin would misunderstand.
Huo Jinxin blushed upon hearing this.
She greeted the proprietress with a slightly shy smile: "Hello, Aunt Hu."
"Alright, alright, you all sit down quickly. I'll go urge your Uncle Hu to hurry up. We can't let Aze's girlfriend go hungry." Aunt Hu said as she quickly walked into the kitchen.
"Old Hu, hurry up! Aze brought his girlfriend over today. That girl is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy. This is the first time Aze has brought a girl over, so you can't let her down..." Aunt Hu's loud voice came from the kitchen.
"Um... I'm sorry, that's just how Aunt Hu is, she's a very warm person, I hope you don't mind," Wei Zechen explained, his face flushed.
"Yes, I don't mind."
Afterwards, the two sat there silently, sipping tea and waiting for the food to be served.
Once Huo Jinxin was no longer shy and embarrassed, she began to carefully observe the courtyard.
In the yard, all kinds of flowers were blooming in competition; a piece of land had been cultivated and planted with all kinds of vegetables, which were growing well and lush.
One look at the courtyard and you can tell that it must be carefully maintained and cared for.
A while later.
"The food is ready, you must have been waiting long! It's all because your Uncle Hu insisted on making the food even more exquisite." Aunt Hu's loud voice came into view immediately.
"Yes, thank you very much, Uncle Hu. I'm really sorry to have troubled you," Wei Zechen said politely.
"You're being too polite, child. He's been cooking for most of his life. He's happy that someone likes his cooking. It's not a bother at all," Aunt Hu replied with a smile.
"Then you all eat first, I'll go check on the kitchen," Aunt Hu said as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Aunt Hu, please go ahead with your work," Wei Zechen said to Aunt Hu.
"Try it and see if it suits your taste?" He then smiled and gestured for Huo Jinxin to taste the dish.
"Mmm, delicious." Huo Jinxin picked up a piece of fish, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and said with a satisfied look on her face.
After that, the two adhered to the principle of not speaking while eating and ate quietly until the meal was over.
"Have you finished eating?" Wei Zechen asked, putting down his chopsticks as well when he saw Huo Jinxin put them down.
"Mmm, it's so delicious, I'm stuffed," Huo Jinxin replied with a slight smile.
Actually, it was just a polite remark on her part. Although the food was indeed delicious, her upbringing didn't allow her to eat until she was stuffed without regard for her image in public.
After all, she wasn't as greedy as Huo Jinning, so why would she eat until she was stuffed?
"It's delicious, we'll come again next time."
Wei Zechen unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, his expression slightly tense, as if worried that Huo Jinxin would reject his suggestion.
“Okay!” Huo Jinxin replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Wei Zechen's tense body instantly relaxed.
"Let me tell you, my sister will definitely love the food at this restaurant. She loves trying all kinds of delicious dishes," Huo Jinxin said enthusiastically.
However, she did not reveal the whole truth.
In fact, her sister not only enjoys tasting food, but she is incredibly gluttonous. She will never put down her chopsticks unless she is so full that she can no longer swallow.
"How much will today's dishes cost? Go ask about the prices later. We already agreed that I would treat you."
"Aunt Hu just said that we don't need to pay, she's treating."
Wei Zechen recalled that Aunt Hu had said it was the first time he had brought his girlfriend over, so he had to treat everyone, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"That might not be a good idea," Huo Jinxin replied hesitantly.
“We can’t very well refuse our elders’ kind offer. How about this, next time we come we’ll bring some tea. Uncle Hu really likes tea. What do you think?” Wei Zechen suggested.
"Okay, fine!"
...
"Thank you so much, Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu, for your hospitality today," Huo Jinxin said to Aunt Hu as she left.
"Oh, you're too kind, child. We're all family, no need to be so formal. You and Aze are welcome to come often. Your Uncle Hu's cooking is quite excellent."
"Okay, I'll probably bother you a lot more in the future," Huo Jinxin replied obediently.
"No problem, no problem at all. We're more than happy to see you here," Aunt Hu said warmly.
"Aunt Hu, we'll be going now. We'll come see you again next time!" Huo Jinxin said to Aunt Hu with a smile before getting into the car.
Wei Zechen watched the two chatting happily, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
As he left, he politely said goodbye to Aunt Hu: "Goodbye, Aunt Hu."
Aunt Hu looked at the young couple with a smile, her eyes full of affection.
She waved gently, signaling them to be careful on the road.
After the car slowly drove out of sight, Aunt Hu turned around and slowly walked back into the house.
The sunlight shone on her, casting a long shadow.
