So cool! The daughter of a rich man returns to run wild in the rich family
Chapter 67: Invite Xie Jinghong back in person
The next day, the Xie family, which was as quiet as an empty house, welcomed an unexpected guest.
Xie Chenghuan almost didn't sleep the whole night. When he woke up the next day, he heard the servants talking about something, and they all looked nervous.
"What are you talking about, mumbling?"
She glanced disapprovingly at the maid who was cleaning the second floor.
One of the servants was the one she slapped yesterday. He immediately fell silent and continued to work, while the other one had to step forward to report.
"Miss, it's the old man from the Huo family who's here."
Xie Chenghuan's brows lit up immediately when he heard this. "Is it Jingyang's grandfather?"
The servant was stunned. In North City, there were only a few old men like Mr. Huo who could ask Mrs. Xie to personally greet them, but he still nodded in agreement.
Xie Chenghuan's first reaction was that Huo Jingyang brought up Old Man Huo to propose marriage.
"Really? You deliberately didn't answer my call last night. You wanted to surprise me, didn't you? Since you moved Mr. Huo personally, I'll forgive you for now."
Xie Chenghuan was very happy and immediately went back to his room to get dressed.
The servants were left standing there in confusion.
She had no idea what her young lady was talking about.
The servants of the Xie family have been living in fear these past two days. Three people have left their home at once, and they don't know what will happen in the future.
In the living room downstairs, Old Mrs. Xie was sitting upright.
"It's been a while since we last met. Is Madam Xie still in good health?"
Old Master Huo did not come alone. He was accompanied by Huo Yunting, who was sitting quietly beside him without saying a word.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huo. I wonder if you suddenly came today because of something important?"
Old Mrs. Xie was also a prominent figure in the business world back then. She took over the management of the Xie Group for decades on behalf of Old Mr. Xie. Now, sitting opposite Old Mr. Huo, her aura is not inferior to his.
Mr. Huo pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled in an approachable manner.
"Well, I originally said I would invite your daughter to dinner at home, but now it's been a few days and she still hasn't come, so I came to invite her myself."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, her face changed slightly and she sat up straight.
"My daughter, you mean Cheng Huan?"
She didn't know when Xie Chenghuan became involved with Old Master Huo. As soon as she said this, she unconsciously looked at Huo Yunting who was standing beside her.
No, he shouldn't be talking about her baby Cheng Huan, but that dead girl Xie Jinghong.
"It's Miss Jinghong, that girl, she and I get along well."
Old Master Huo was still smiling, and there was no sign of the power he once held.
Old Mrs. Xie was unhappy. She smiled but her eyes were a little cold.
"Even if it means that Mr. Huo has made a wasted trip, that girl is unruly. She made a big fuss at home a few days ago and moved out to live on her own."
After saying this, she emphasized very seriously: "I don't want Mr. Huo to misunderstand. Our Xie family only has one daughter now, and that is Cheng Huan, who was raised in the Xie family since childhood. As for that wild girl, I don't acknowledge her."
Huo Yunting's expression turned noticeably colder when he heard this.
Mr. Huo glanced at his expression and said to Mrs. Xie in a kind tone:
"Although it hasn't been officially announced, Zeyu's influence is not small. Now everyone knows that Jinghong is the Xie family's biological child who was mistakenly adopted. Madam Xie, it will be bad if you don't admit it."
Old Mrs. Xie frowned immediately, but still pretended to be polite.
"Mr. Huo, this matter is our Xie family's family affair. Whether she recognizes her or not, she now has her due status. As an old woman, I have no say in the family. What's going on? Mr. Huo is no longer in charge of the business, so he wants to take charge of our family affairs? Haha..."
It was said in a joking tone, but the words were not at all forgiving.
Xie Chenghuan had changed his clothes and came down from upstairs. He stood at the corner, wanting to listen to how Mr. Huo talked to his grandmother about her marriage to Huo Jingyang.
After listening for a long time, he found that the topic was always centered around Xie Jinghong. His face, which was originally full of joy, had now fallen.
"Hahaha, Madam Xie, you're being polite. I don't have the time to care about the Xie family's affairs. It's just that my grandson fell in love with your granddaughter at first sight. Today, I specially prepared a generous gift and came to discuss the marriage with the Xie family."
"Clap!"
Before Mrs. Xie could say anything, there was a sudden sound of something heavy falling from upstairs.
Xie Chenghuan waited for a long time but the two of them didn't talk about him. Instead, he received news that the Huo family wanted to propose to Xie Jinghong. The phone suddenly slipped from his hand.
Several people in the living room raised their heads and looked upstairs.
Old Lady Xie immediately recognized the exposed hem of Xie Chenghuan's skirt and interrupted, "I think a servant accidentally knocked over the vase in the corridor."
Mr. Huo retracted his gaze and asked, "I wonder what Mrs. Xie thinks of what I just said?"
Old Mrs. Xie never expected that Old Mr. Huo would actually come forward to propose marriage to Huo Yunting. The person in question was not the well-educated and well-mannered Chenghuan she raised, but that uneducated wild girl. She felt very unbalanced.
So, she put on a hypocritical smile and said, "I have long since given up making decisions about family matters. You still need to talk to her parents about this."
Mr. Huo didn't bother to argue any further.
"Okay, Madam Xie's words are good today. I'll keep the gift for now. When my granddaughter-in-law comes back, please pass it on to her."
Huo Yunting waved his hand, and more than a dozen bodyguards came in carrying boxes of different sizes and beautifully packaged.
At first glance, the things inside are all very valuable.
Without waiting for Mrs. Xie to speak, Mr. Huo continued, "It's not good for my granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family to be alone outside all the time. I would like to ask Mrs. Xie to take my well-behaved and lovely granddaughter-in-law home as soon as possible."
Madam Xie looked at this and thought that this was an attempt to put pressure on her.
"Mr. Huo..."
She stood up and was about to return it when Huo Yunting said, "The amusement park project that Xiang Leng Group and Xie's Consortium are collaborating on is worth over a billion. Mr. Ye has worked hard on this project. I hope Madam Xie will be considerate of her daughter."
Mrs. Xie: ...
Old Mrs. Xie was completely stunned.
They actually used this to threaten me.
Ye Mulan has indeed been trying hard to cooperate with Xiang Leng Group recently and has put in a lot of effort, but Xiang Leng Group has been reluctant to sign the contract. Are they actually keeping them hanging?
"Thank you, Madam, for staying."
Old Master Huo was still smiling. He stood up and, with the support of Huo Yunting, strode out of the Xie family's living room.
Watching the two people leave, Old Mrs. Xie fell down on the sofa.
"Okay, okay, okay! You shameless wild girl, you've only just come back and you're already seducing men. Do you even want my Mulan to take the blame for you?"
She pounded her fist on the sofa in anger.
"grandmother!"
Xie Chenghuan ran down from upstairs and looked at the room full of valuable gifts, his eyes red with jealousy.
"Didn't Mr. Huo mention Jing Yang?"
She looked at Old Lady Xie eagerly, afraid that she had missed something. Perhaps, before she came out, they had already discussed the matter between her and Huo Jingyang.
"Why bring it up, Cheng Huan? Can't you see that they are all here for that wild girl Jing Hong? How dare they threaten me with the business that my Mu Lan has worked so hard to build."
Old Mrs. Xie's chest was heaving with anger, and she didn't care about her granddaughter's mood at all.
"Then, what should we do? Do they want you to go and ask Xie Jinghong to come back in person?"
Xie Chenghuan didn't want to see such an outcome.
Even if my mother and third brother left home temporarily for Xie Jinghong, this is the Xie family after all, and they can come back anytime.
But as time went on, it became more difficult for Xie Jinghong to come back.
Old Mrs. Xie was so angry that her face turned pale. Her thin lips trembled and she gritted her teeth as she said, "At this point, I have no choice but to risk my reputation and go."
"What? Grandma, you can't bow down to that wild girl!"
Xie Chenghuan became anxious.
If even grandma bows her head, then this family will be Xie Jinghong's world from now on.
Old Mrs. Xie looked weak and said while stroking Xie Chenghuan's hair.
"Child, there are many things in this world that cannot be done as you wish. In the future, you must become stronger."
Xie Chenghuan looked at her with tears in his eyes. She felt that everything she had was being taken away by Xie Jinghong bit by bit.
Even when the Huo family proposed marriage, Xie Jinghong was one step ahead of her.
Moreover, that person was Huo Yunting, the Huo Yunting who made people love and fear him!
Even though Old Mrs. Xie was extremely reluctant, she still packed up and went to Chaoyun Clinic.
Before leaving, Xie Chenghuan sent a message to everyone in the family group:
"Grandma is so old, and she still has to bow her head to apologize to her granddaughter. If this gets out, will our Xie family still have face? Third brother, mother, I know you only love sister Jinghong now, but grandma has worked hard for so many years. Can you really bear to see her put aside her dignity and face and bow her head to apologize to her because of sister Jinghong?"
When Xie Zeyu and Lu Wenyin saw the message, they really didn't know what had happened.
Xie Zeyu immediately called Xie Chenghuan, but the call was hung up.
Xie Chenghuan just wanted to let everyone in the family see that today's anti-Tiangang behavior was all caused by them trying to protect Xie Jinghong.
We must let them know that Xie Jinghong is the disaster that disturbs the peace of the family.
