Huo Jinning almost drooled from the aroma.
It's been so long since I've had barbecue.
[This smells so good, I want to eat my tongue too.]
[I wonder if they're done baking yet?]
I really want to eat chicken wings...
[Stay calm, stay calm...]
The family members were somewhat helpless watching Huo Jinning's inner monologue.
"Aunt Zhong, do you have any grilled food ready? Bring some up first," Huo Nanchu said.
"Young Master, yes, yes, it'll be right there." Aunt Zhong said as she went to get the food.
When Huo Jinning heard that there was food, her eyes never left Aunt Zhong, who had just turned around to get something.
Xiao Liu [Ding! There's some gossip.]
No, no, I don't have time.
I want to eat something delicious.
Sixth grade [...]
At this point, Huo Jinning had no time to eat melons; all she wanted to do was have a barbecue.
"Sister, sister, sister." Huo Jinxin called out three times, but Huo Jinning didn't hear her.
I glanced at my family and smiled indulgently at my younger sister/daughter, who only knew how to eat.
When Aunt Zhong brought out the grilled food...
[Is this the barbecue I've ever eaten?]
[I don't think I recognize any of them.]
[Never mind, let's eat it first.]
"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, third brother, sister, let's eat!" Huo Jinning called out to her family.
"Okay, sure." Let's go back together.
[Hiss, hot! Hiss, delicious!]
[It's so delicious!]
After that, Huo Jinning focused all her attention on the food and stopped thinking about other things.
During the meal, everyone took a few sips of baijiu (Chinese white liquor). The original plan was for the ladies to try some red wine, but Huo Jinning insisted on baijiu.
Surprisingly, she was already drunk after only one drink.
"Hehe, this is really delicious, I want to drink some more."
"This looks delicious too, I want to try it."
"Who are you all? Why are you all so good-looking?"
After saying that, Huo Jinning lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
In the end, Huo Chengyu carried her back to the house.
"Huh, how did I end up in bed? Wasn't I still eating barbecue?" Huo Jinning muttered to himself as he rubbed his throbbing head.
"Could I have been drunk yesterday? I never expected this body to be so susceptible to alcohol. I will definitely remember this in the future."
"I just wonder if I did anything embarrassing last night."
"My lifelong reputation! Is it all going to be ruined now?"
Huo Jinning stayed alone in the room, muttering to herself incessantly.
Just then, Xiao Liu suddenly sent a message: [Master, there's some juicy gossip. A super big one!]
Really? Let me see.
Wow, wow, wow...
Upon seeing such a juicy piece of gossip, Huo Jinning disregarded everything else and immediately rushed downstairs.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Qiuying asked curiously when she saw this, but this time she wasn't as worried as before that something might happen.
"Good morning, Dad, Mom, and Big Brother." Huo Jinning greeted her family as she continued rushing downstairs.
"Ningning, don't rush. Wash up first before coming down. I've already asked someone to save breakfast for you," Zhao Qiuying gently reminded her, looking at her daughter who was still wearing yesterday's clothes and whose hair was a mess.
"Ah..." Huo Jinning suddenly realized that she hadn't washed or dressed up, and hadn't even changed her clothes. She screamed in fright.
Her face flushed bright red instantly, and then, like a startled rabbit, she turned around and ran back upstairs.
The noise was so loud that it almost ripped the roof off.
"Haha, this child is always so energetic, I wonder who he takes after?" Zhao Qiuying said with a helpless smile.
"Well, that's good too. Simple and straightforward, without so many hidden thoughts." Huo Shan actually thought this kind of personality was quite cute.
"You just keep spoiling me!" Zhao Qiuying said irritably.
“I spoil you, but you do the same,” Huo Shan retorted.
Looking at her parents bickering like old friends, Huo Nanchu shook her head helplessly, muttering to herself: "They're so old, how can they still act so childishly?"
"Dad, Mom. There's something I forgot to tell you yesterday. It's just..." Huo Nanchu took a deep breath and explained her and Zhou Haoran's plan in detail.
“This is a good idea. Although Qian Chengfeng knows there’s a problem and won’t start the project, he will still lose several hundred million. This amount of money is not a big deal for the Qian family, but it will make them feel disgusted for a while, and that’s enough.” Huo Shan agreed after listening.
“Yes, Hao and I think so too,” Huo Nanchu nodded in agreement.
"Thinking about it, we really owe a lot to Ningning this time, otherwise..." Huo Shan hesitated, but the meaning was already self-evident.
“That’s right, Ningning was sent by God to save our family,” Zhao Qiuying echoed proudly.
"Yes, Mom is right." Huo Nanchu wholeheartedly agreed.
"Also, Dad, what do you think we should do about my older cousin's situation?" After a moment of silence, Huo Nanchu broke the silence and asked his father again.
“He absolutely cannot stay at Huo’s company anymore, otherwise our company will have no privacy whatsoever,” Huo Nanchu said worriedly.
"If I weren't afraid of alerting them, I would definitely go to my older brother and demand an explanation!" Zhao Qiuying angrily echoed.
“That’s right, it’s precisely because of this concern that I’ve been thinking about solutions,” Huo Nanchu agreed.
