Losang was a little surprised: "What did Grandpa ask?"
Aunt Fang said softly, "She mentioned that you're not young anymore, and her words implied that she wanted to find you a partner. She also asked if you'd been obedient at home these past few days and if you'd run away."
Losang smiled and said, "Grandpa really cares about me. Aunt Fang, please tell Grandpa the truth from now on. I've always been very obedient and rarely go out."
Aunt Fang nodded: "That's what I told the chairman too. He was very satisfied after hearing it and said you're a good kid."
Upon hearing this, Losang chuckled inwardly. Good boy?
I doubt the old man was thinking that way. Knowing that he had caused so much trouble and damaged the Mu family's reputation, he must be very angry and might even want his disobedient granddaughter to disappear as soon as possible.
Losang didn't tell Aunt Fang any of this.
Losang smiled and said, "Aunt Fang, thank you for bringing Grandpa meals every day. I'll talk to Dad tonight and ask him to give you a big red envelope."
Aunt Fang smiled upon hearing this: "Then I thank you very much, Second Miss."
Losang said, "You're welcome. You deserve all of this."
Using the Mu family's money to bribe Auntie and the others—what a wonderful thing that would be!
"Aunt Fang, I'm going out for a walk. I won't be home for lunch."
She's going out again later to pick out some gifts for her in-laws.
Losang learned from Huo Yunsheng that her mother-in-law liked sparkly gemstone jewelry and handbags, while her father-in-law loved fine tea.
Losang thought about how he had collected quite a few fine teas, but unfortunately they were all kept at the Zhou family's place.
She thought for a moment, then called Zhou Huiying and asked her to bring it over for her.
When Zhou Huiying learned that she was going to have dinner at the Huo family's old house, she quickly said, "You are the daughter-in-law, why do you bring such an expensive gift when you come to visit?"
Upon hearing this, Losang smiled and said, "My brothers and sisters from the Huo family have all prepared gifts for me, so I certainly can't be stingy."
After she finished speaking, she recounted how her fifth sister had given her a villa, her sixth brother had given her a profitable restaurant, and her third sister had given her several shops.
"The other older brothers and sisters said that they need time to prepare the gifts."
Zhou Huiying exclaimed, "The Huo family truly lives up to their reputation as the richest family in China; they are incredibly generous."
They're either villas, shops, or restaurants with annual revenues in the millions.
Losang smiled and said, "If you're envious, you can marry Brother Weng. The Weng family has a deep foundation, no less than the Huo family."
Zhou Huiying shook her head: "Never mind, I have no plans to get married."
"It's so nice to be alone."
"Wait for me, I'll bring you the tea right away."
When Huo Yunsheng picked up Losang, she had already bought quite a lot of things.
Huo Yunsheng put the things in the car before looking at Luosang: "I already told you that I would prepare these things, but you just wouldn't listen and insisted on doing it yourself."
After he finished speaking, he helped Losang fasten his seatbelt.
Losang said, "When I visit my in-laws' house for the first time, I definitely have to choose the gift myself, so that I can show my sincerity."
She understood this basic social etiquette.
"Mom is missing a precious daughter like you. Now she'll have someone to go shopping with."
Losang recalled the last time she parted from her mother-in-law, when the woman held her hand reluctantly and said that they must go shopping together in the future.
"Girls love to shop, and this doesn't discriminate by age. Even when they're in their seventies or eighties, as long as they can still walk, they still want to go out."
Even a family like the Mu family, which is barely even on the edge of being a second-tier wealthy family, has branded goods delivered to their door for them to choose from, let alone the Huo family.
Having something delivered to your door versus picking it out in a store is a completely different experience.
When the two returned to the Huo family home, Ms. Si had already cooked a table full of dishes. She smiled and looked at her husband, "Old Huo, do you think our daughter-in-law will like my cooking?"
Comrade Huo nodded: "I'll definitely like it."
My wife's cooking is quite delicious. We usually have a chef at home, so she rarely cooks.
If her daughter-in-law hadn't come home today, she definitely wouldn't have cooked. In her wife's opinion, cooking produces too much oil and smoke, which is bad for the skin.
I hope so too. My wife is quite generous to the chefs at home, especially the female chefs. She gives them skincare products so they can take care of their skin while they're working.
Thinking of this, Mr. Huo couldn't help but laugh.
Outsiders say that if he had married Si Qingyou back then and joined forces with her now, the Huo family would probably be even stronger.
No, in his opinion, Qingyun is better than the strong woman Si Qingyou.
She can offer advice at work, has a sense of fun in life, and isn't a workaholic, so she has both a successful career and a romantic life.
A woman like that is hard to find even with a lantern.
A servant hurried in from outside the door: "Chairman, Madam, President and Young Madam are back."
Upon hearing this, Si Qingyun quickly walked towards the door.
The Huo family mansion is very large. In addition to the main building, there are seven villas nearby. Each of the seven children in the Huo family has a villa, and each villa is assigned a dedicated servant.
The main building occupies a large area, so the seven siblings each have their own rooms there. Since they are not yet married, they usually stay in the main building with their parents when they come back.
Huo Yunsheng's grandfather, the patriarch of the Huo family, has been retired for decades and is now living abroad in retirement.
The second floor of the main building was the territory of the old man and his wife, Comrade Huo.
Si Qingyun had just stepped outside when she saw her son and daughter-in-law walk in hand in hand.
Two servants were carrying things behind him.
Si Qingyun knew at a glance that Sangsang had bought it, and she quickly stepped forward and took Sangsang's hand: "Good child, we've finally waited for you to come home."
Losang released Huo Yunsheng's hand and smiled as she grasped Si Qingyun's hand: "Mom, I'm sorry to have kept you and Dad waiting."
Huo Yunsheng looked at his empty palms, then at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walking ahead.
Then he exchanged a glance with Comrade Huo, only to see the other man reveal a gloating smile.
“We’re not afraid to wait, after all, we’ve waited for twenty-seven years. Fortunately, it’s all been worth it.” Si Qingyun smiled at Luosang: “We’ve finally found such a good daughter-in-law like you.”
Old Huo also joined in, chatting and laughing with his wife and daughter-in-law.
Huo Yunsheng stood there, looking at the family of three in front of him, and chuckled: It seemed like they were the family, and he was just an outsider.
After the couple finished their meal with Comrade Huo and Si Qingyun, Si Qingyun couldn't wait to invite her daughter-in-law to her storage room to see the jewelry collection.
Losang thought he was very wealthy, but after arriving at the Huo family, he realized what it meant to be a nobody compared to a powerful figure.
Si Qingyun's personal collection room is over a thousand square meters, containing formal wear, jewelry, watches, and even antiques.
Si Qingyun loves cheongsams. There's even a cheongsam wardrobe here, filled with all sorts of cheongsams, all of which are Si Qingyun's favorites.
She said, "Ever since I met your father, he has loved giving me gifts, and he has been doing so for decades."
"Half of the collection inside was given to you by your father."
Si Qingyun said, "I'll leave it all to you from now on."
Upon hearing this, Losang laughed and joked, "I just married a husband, I never thought I would become a super rich woman."
