A blind date, a flash marriage, and a stepmother, the billionaire praised her every day
Chapter 83: Can you still pretend?
Huo family.
Huo Yunzheng was on a flight back to Shanghai in the evening. Near noon, he came back from doing some errands and saw Chen Xinru at home. His eyes darkened.
"Yun Zheng is back." Shi Shi glanced at Huo Yun Zheng, then glanced at Chen Xinru in the main hall, with a playful look on her face.
I think there will be some good show to watch today.
Huo Yunzheng had just had a big fight with the old man about marriage yesterday, and today Chen Xinru came over. It seemed that the old man had made up his mind to have this girl from the Chen family marry into his family.
Others don't understand Huo Yunzheng, but Shi Shi has lived in the Huo family for so many years and has figured out his personality. He won't do anything he doesn't want to do, even if a knife is placed on his neck.
This is good. If there were a rift between the grandparents and grandchildren because of this incident, that would be what she wanted to see most.
"Yun Zheng, I heard you're back, so I came to see you. Are you feeling better?"
Chen Xinru was wearing a lotus pink new Chinese style skirt. She looked gentle, virtuous and decent, but her eyes were filled with calculations and desires that should not have been there.
Huo Yunzheng glanced at her and he made it very clear to her.
"Ah."
It was just a one-word response, seeming extremely cold and distant. Chen Xinru's expression looked a little unnatural.
Old Master Huo watched but didn't think there was anything wrong. In his opinion, the two people were just rejecting marriage because they didn't have much time to spend together, and his grandson was a workaholic.
Nothing is unsolvable. Xinru is a sensible and filial child. It is most appropriate for Yun Zheng to marry her.
Because Huo Yunzheng was leaving Beijing that night, Old Master Huo specially called everyone back, and all the descendants of the Huo family were at the dinner table.
"Grandpa, why are there outsiders at our family dinner?" Huo Xiaonuan spoke unhappily when she saw Chen Xinru, and her rejection attitude was clearly revealed.
Chen Xinru gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Huo Xiaonuan, this woman, always went against her.
Speaking of outsiders, when she marries into the Huo family in the future, she will be a legitimate young lady. As for Huo Xiaonuan, although she has the surname Huo, she is just a granddaughter. This is the so-called outsider!
"Xiao Nuan, don't be rude." Old Master Huo scolded.
Huo Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at Chen Xinru and sat down.
Huo Jiayuan sat next to Huo Qi, silent, but he couldn't hide his desire to watch the fun.
His sister, relying on the old man's love, has never taken anyone other than Huo Yunzheng seriously, and she looks down on Chen Xinru.
As long as she is around, Miss Chen's life will not be easy.
They don't even need to do anything, the marriage can be ruined by Huo Yunzheng and Huo Xiaonuan, and they can just sit back and reap the benefits.
The Huo family's dining table was always silent. Occasionally, the old man and Chen Xinru would talk to each other. Huo Yunzheng didn't eat much during the meal.
The food here, no matter how expensive the ingredients are, cannot compare to the one cooked by Chuchu in their house.
After the meal, the old man deliberately kept Huo Yunzheng, wanting him and Chen Xinru to talk more and chat to enhance their relationship. Huo Yunzheng said he had to take care of work and went back to his room.
Chen Xinru felt a little sad, and Huo Yunzheng's rejection of her was written all over his face.
"Master, it's time for you to take your medicine. Doctor Qi is already in the side hall, waiting to measure your blood pressure." The housekeeper came in to ask for instructions.
Mr. Huo looked at Chen Xinru and asked her to sit for a while before going to have a physical examination.
Chen Xinru smiled, and after the old man left, she picked up the teacup, calmed herself down, and thought about how to get closer to Huo Yunzheng.
"You are even more shameless than I thought."
Hearing a woman's voice in her ears, Chen Xinru turned her head and looked at Huo Xiaonuan who walked in.
"You don't have to be so hostile to me. The marriage was arranged by grandpa. You have to accept it even if you don't want to. Besides, there is no room for you to express your opinion." Chen Xinru looked at her coldly.
Huo Xiaonuan sneered, "As soon as my second brother came back, he told our family that the wedding was cancelled. From what I know about him, I'm sure my second brother must have told you beforehand and expressed his attitude."
Chen Xinru pursed her lips and said nothing.
"This marriage, after all, is the idea of the two elders. Since my second brother has clearly told you, you can still pretend that you know nothing in front of my grandfather and want to continue. Miss Chen, you really make me look at you in a new light."
"Do you think I don't know why you insist on marrying my second brother? It's you who spread the word outside and made everyone scramble to curry favor with you, right? It's you who calls yourself the young lady of the Huo family before you even get married, right?"
"So this is the Chen family's family education. I thought Miss Chen was such a reserved person."
Every sarcasm and ridicule from Huo Xiaonuan fell into Chen Xinru's ears. Her face turned blue and white, she was embarrassed after having her thoughts spoken out, and she was angry after being humiliated.
"Huo Xiaonuan, you..." Chen Xinru wanted to refute, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.
Because every word Huo Xiaonuan said was true.
However, this marriage was not something that the Chen family wanted unilaterally. The Huo family was obviously also very active, and it was Grandpa Huo who promised personally that he wanted her to be his grandson's wife.
"Miss Chen, if I were you, I would give up now and save some face." Huo Xiaonuan looked at her and said again: "I know my second brother's character. He will not change his mind. You can't get the identity of Mrs. Huo."
Huo Xiaonuan has already explained the interests involved very clearly. Whether she listens or not is her own business.
When Mr. Huo returned to the main hall, Huo Xiaonuan had already left. He saw that Chen Xinru seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so he asked about her with concern.
"Doctor Qi is here. If you feel any discomfort, ask him to take a look at you."
Facing Mr. Huo, Chen Xinru suppressed the indignation and unwillingness in her heart.
Why?
Why should she give up? Obviously, this marriage is set in stone. She is the only granddaughter-in-law that Mr. Huo has recognized. Why should she obey Huo Yunzheng's wishes at this time?
And there is Huo Xiaonuan. That woman just doesn't want her to marry into the Huo family. She just won't let her do that. She wants everyone to see that the only person who can occupy this position is her, Chen Xinru!
No one can stop her!
"It's okay, Grandpa Huo. I just have some indigestion recently. Plus, the food we cooked at home today was so delicious that I was a little greedy."
Chen Xinru was very well-behaved when she spoke, and Mr. Huo looked at her as if she were his own junior.
"Hahaha, come more often in the future. I know you like Cantonese food. We just hired a new chef. Just tell the housekeeper what you want to eat."
Chen Xinru nodded, smiling, "Thank you, Grandpa Huo."
