When He Xiling entered the rose garden, she saw the garden full of flowers and couldn't help but exclaim, "Having afternoon tea here would be very pleasant."
The butler, who was showing us the way, smiled and said, "The rose garden in the backyard is even bigger, and it has a glass room. If you want to have afternoon tea, that's the best place."
He Xiling's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "After lunch, have your wife have afternoon tea with me."
"Then I'll have the kitchen prepare some tea and snacks. Do you have any dietary restrictions or special preferences?" The butler knew that this was the president's wife's elder, so he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
As the CEO just said, we should treat her with the same respect we would show to an elder in the family.
He Xiling was surprised that the housekeeper was so understanding. She smiled and said, "There are no dietary restrictions."
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as he had been worried that the old lady was a difficult person to please.
Losang ran out when she heard the noise. When she saw He Xiling, she smiled and ran over to hug He Xiling's arm: "Grandma, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."
"Congratulations on regaining your freedom. You can finally leave that scumbag."
Upon hearing this, He Xiling ruffled Losang's hair, turning it into a mess, before smiling with satisfaction: "I can feel your happiness."
"Soon, you too will have a bloody confrontation with the Mu family." Then you will personally escort them to meet your great-grandfather and the others.
Losang stared at her newly styled hair as she walked into the living room. Huo Yunsheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this. After greeting his great-aunt, he walked over to his wife and whispered, "This new hairstyle looks pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Losang glared fiercely at Mr. Huo: "What do you mean by that?"
Huo Yunsheng smiled faintly: "I mean it from the bottom of my heart, you look quite good like this."
"You could consider getting a hairstyle like that."
Losang glanced at Mr. Huo's head and thought to himself: You'd better protect your hair and not let me do a magical transformation for you, or you'll regret it.
Huo Yunsheng felt a chill run down his spine. Ms. He Xiling glanced at the interaction between the two, and then thought about the interaction between Si Tianrui and Mu Youyi, and was extremely satisfied.
Even though she watched Mu Youyi grow up, she was still the granddaughter of her enemy. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped that Mu Youyi would not have a good life, and that she would live in fear and unhappiness every day.
As for her own child, of course she should be the happiest girl.
“I called He Rui when I arrived, he should be here soon.” After saying that, she looked at the two children: “Please sit down, I’ll tell you about He Rui first.”
Losang tidied his hair and pulled Huo Yunsheng to sit opposite his great-aunt.
After the maid served tea, she quickly left, leaving only the three of them in the large living room.
He Xiling took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "Although He Rui's surname is He, he has no relation to your great-grandfather. However, it can't be said that he has no relation at all. He is one of the many students that your great-grandfather sponsored."
"I was just lucky back then to become an adopted daughter in the family."
He Rui is just one of thousands of students who received support from the He family.
Losang and Mr. Huo exchanged a glance; they truly hadn't expected this kind of relationship.
He Xiling continued, "He Rui is the most hardworking and intelligent among those students who received funding; his abilities are even superior to mine."
"Back then, he was admitted to Zhongzhou University of Political Science and Law, but he didn't have the money and didn't dare to mention it to your great-grandfather. It was the lawyer in charge of the case who found out about the good news. In the end, your great-grandfather personally met with He Rui and sent him to Zhongzhou University of Political Science and Law."
"It is the cradle that cultivates the best lawyers, and it is a place that all law students yearn for."
“During his time at university in Zhongzhou, he would also work at the family company. During holidays, your great-grandfather would invite him to his home to celebrate together. The He family had few children, and He Rui was essentially the third child in the He family back then.”
At this point, she smiled and said, "He is also a grateful person and very capable. After graduating from university, he continued to pursue master's and doctoral degrees, and eventually made a name for himself as one of the world's most outstanding lawyers."
“Back when the He family got into trouble, it was he who helped clean up the mess so that the He family’s hidden businesses could be preserved.” He Xiling said, glancing at Losang, “After you went missing, he kept looking for you.”
"If he hears even the slightest rumor or news, he will personally go to find you, worried that if he is late, you will be wronged."
Losang sensed something was amiss. She glanced at He Xiling, then thought about what she had said, and suddenly asked, "Grandma, does Attorney He Rui like my mother?"
He Xiling was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and asked, "How did you figure that out?"
"The highest level of love is loving everything about the house and its inhabitants. His love for my mother is pure and unconditional, the kind that silently protects her. Because of the depth of his love, he has never married and has been helping his mother look for me all these years."
Losang felt that his guess made a lot of sense.
He Xiling also wanted to give a thumbs up: "How do you react so quickly to such gossip?"
"He Rui does like your mother. Your great-grandfather and the others all know this. They even joked about when He Rui would confess his feelings. I never expected that a scumbag would beat him to it. It's still a bit hard to accept."
"Don't let his appearance fool you, he's actually suffering a lot inside. It took him many years to recover from your mother's passing." At this point, He Xiling couldn't help but say that fate is cruel.
Losang asked softly, "Why didn't he confess sooner? If he had confessed earlier, with such an outstanding person around, my mother would never have fallen for a scumbag like Mu He."
“It’s different. He Rui isn’t as good at talking as Mu He, so he can’t make your mother happy.”
If He Rui were a glib-tongued person, Mu He wouldn't have had anything to do with him back then.
Thinking of this, He Xiling also wanted to scold He Rui. He had learned everything, but why didn't he learn how to pursue girls?
If An Nuan had really been with He Rui back then...
Thinking of this, she looked at Losang: "If your mother had been with He Rui back then, you wouldn't exist."
"Who knows, I might be my mother's child with lawyer He Rui." Losang chuckled softly. "Who can guarantee these things?"
Mr. Huo glanced at Losang and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, my mother-in-law and lawyer He Rui meet frequently, and they're practically childhood sweethearts. Is there really no strangeness at all?"
In his view, He Rui was not a simple person. How could such a ruthless character let someone steal his beloved girl away?
Mr. Huo had learned about some of He Rui's experiences and felt that He Rui's personality was somewhat similar to his own in certain situations. A person like that would never give up their beloved.
Unless, of course, the mother-in-law really dislikes He Rui.
But looking at his impressive resume and the things he's done, it's hard for any woman to resist such an outstanding man.
Mu He is far inferior to He Rui.
