A blind date, a flash marriage, and a stepmother, the billionaire praised her every day
Chapter 174: Can’t you live to 289?
Two days later, the final admission results were announced on the school’s official website. Qiao Chuchu was admitted with seventh place in the preliminary examination, third place in the re-examination, and fourth place in the overall ranking.
Completely relieved, Huo Yunzheng was planning to take her and his son out to celebrate when he received a call from home.
During this period of time, the old house has called many times, urging him to go home for family dinners, but he always declined.
"Master, the old man is sick and is thinking about you. Please come back and see him as soon as possible."
His cell phone was connected to the car speakers and the speaker was turned on. Qiao Chuchu could hear everything while sitting in the passenger seat.
"How about you go back and take a look?" Qiao Chuchu looked a little worried.
"After all, he is an old man in his eighties. It is inevitable that he may have a headache or fever. You can go back and check on him so that you can feel at ease."
Huo Yunzheng was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, his wife persuaded him again.
"Hey, we can celebrate anytime. Drop me and Ziyan off at the intersection ahead. I'll take him out for dinner and a movie, and you can go home."
The more sensible she was, the more guilty Huo Yunzheng felt.
He knew very well how the old man was doing. If something really happened urgently, Huo Xiaonuan would be the first one to call him.
This time it was probably just an act.
"Don't worry, he's fine."
Qiao Chuchu smiled. How could she not guess? She just didn't want Huo Yunzheng to be caught in the middle and feel embarrassed. Besides, he really hadn't been back for a long time.
"Go back and see your grandfather, he might be missing you." Qiao Chuchu said calmly, without any temper.
Huo Yunzheng is not only her husband, but also a descendant of the Huo family.
She would not monopolize him all the time, nor would she let him be accused of being unfilial.
When you love someone, you will put yourself in his or her shoes and consider each other. Qiao Chuchu loves him, so she would rather give in a little more.
"Dad, hurry up and go." Huo Ziyan also urged from behind.
Now that dad is gone, it’s just the two of them again, with mom. Mom will go to the arcade with him and eat fried chicken and burgers with him, unlike dad, who forbids this and that. How annoying!
"Be obedient, we two will pay attention to safety, you don't have to worry." Qiao Chuchu said again.
Huo Yunzheng kissed the back of her hand and said, "When you are done playing, call me and I will pick you up."
After sending his wife and son to the mall, he drove to the old house.
As expected, the old man was not seriously ill at all. He looked very energetic and was feeding the fish with a smile on his face.
"You said you were sick, didn't you? Please at least pretend to be well. I'll kneel down by your bed and cry."
Although the words were inappropriate, the old man was not angry at all and just snorted in a proud manner.
"Come in and eat!"
Dinner is ready, and most of the Huo family members are here. Today is the day for a family dinner.
Because Huo Yunzheng had not returned home for too long, Huo Liancheng used this method and instructed the housekeeper to deceive his grandson.
The butler couldn't persuade them either. The young master was such a smart person, how could he not see through it? He was just cooperating with them.
Seeing the smile on the old man's face that couldn't be hidden because of the young master's return, the housekeeper knew that the old man was happy from the bottom of his heart and that the young master still cared about him.
In the dining room, Huo Shan couldn't help but scold Huo Yunzheng for being undisciplined and not showing up for more than a month.
"Do you have so many things to do? I heard from people in the group that you leave at a certain time every day, not for social events, but to go home to be with your wife?"
There was obvious dissatisfaction on Huo Shan's face. His son used to devote himself to his work, but now, for the sake of a woman, he not only disobeyed his elders, but also lost focus on his career.
What words!
"Don't talk about children at the dinner table." Shi Shi scolded.
"It's a good thing that Yun Zheng knows how to love his wife, but Yun Zheng, I have to remind you that men should still focus on their careers. What's more, your grandfather has given you the position of CEO, so you can't let him down. You should go home more often when you have time."
These words seemed to be protecting Huo Yunzheng in front of Huo Shan, but in fact they not only agreed with Huo Shan's statement that he was acting on his emotions, but also secretly mocked him for not being grateful and not appreciating the old man's good intentions.
"Dad, you've never cared about the group's work. Thank you for asking about my movements." Huo Yunzheng held the chopsticks in his hand, but hardly moved them.
Huo Shan's face froze. This bastard son had no respect for his father at all!
Isn't it all for his own good?
Huo Xiaonuan glanced at her uncle and felt dissatisfied.
My second brother was raised by my grandfather since he was a child, and his father didn't care much about him. Now that my second brother is married, he starts to interfere in other people's marital relationship and acts like an elder.
"Brother, I was chatting with my sister-in-law, and she said she has been admitted. I have prepared a gift, please bring it to my sister-in-law for me later."
Huo Xiaonuan deliberately mentioned that Qiao Chuchu was admitted to graduate school.
Don’t these people here look down on my sister-in-law?
Tell them to wipe their 800-degree myopic eyes quickly. Do they think that she is a woman who only knows about love? They have never even met her, but they always make malicious speculations.
She clearly has her own future to work hard for, and she can live a good life even if she doesn't marry the second brother!
On the side, Chen Xinru held the soup spoon and sneered, "You are so old, and you still want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. What's the point?"
Huo Xiaonuan glanced at her and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, my second sister-in-law is a few years younger than you. Indeed, you are much older. Take good care of yourself, fifth sister-in-law."
Chen Xinru's face was extremely ugly. "Why are you so venomous? What did I say? Isn't it the truth? She will be 28 or 29 after finishing her postgraduate studies. What competitive advantage can she have in finding a job?"
Huo Xiaonuan laughed out loud, "Why, you can only live to 28 or 29? Then your life is almost over! I have to prepare for my fifth brother to meet someone soon, I can't let him be a widower for the rest of his life."
"You!" Chen Xinru's face turned pale with anger.
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Huo Xiaonuan was always unforgiving with her words. "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your horizons are too narrow. My second sister-in-law is continuing her studies to enrich her life experience. Her family is much richer than yours, and they have businesses all over the place. Do you think they are short of jobs? Put away your little thoughts, it's not shameful enough!"
"Huo Xiaonuan! What will happen if you say less?"
As a man, Huo Jiayuan couldn't bear to see his wife being humiliated in front of everyone.
Chen Xinru is really something. She knows she is no match for Huo Xiaonuan, yet she still talks too much.
"Alright, everyone, eat in peace!"
Huo Liancheng, who had been silent, frowned and looked at his granddaughter, "You, stop talking."
Huo Xiaonuan blinked and decided not to say anything.
If Chen Xinru dares to say anything about her second sister-in-law, she will be beaten up!
