Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.
Chapter 197 His brother is truly a hidden talent
Jian Shuhang looked at Huo Zheng:
"You didn't know she was divorced?"
Huo Zheng tried his best to calm himself down:
"I don't know. Shuo Shuo said his father makes money in Shanghai."
Jian Shuhang filled his brother's glass with wine:
"The child probably doesn't know about his parents' divorce."
Huo Zheng still couldn't believe it. What man would be willing to divorce a woman like Bai Zhenzhu?
How do you know she's divorced?
Jian Shuhang glanced at his brother again:
“We all know, Tingting, Minjing, Sister-in-law Cui, Huaying, and I bet your mom knows too.”
Huo Zheng: "..."
Why does everyone know?
He's the only one who doesn't know?
Jian Shuhang added:
"On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony for the electronics store, Tingting was still cursing Director Bai's man to me, calling him a heartless scoundrel and a heartless man who abandoned his wife. Apparently, he was working in Shanghai and got involved with a rich man's daughter, so he divorced Director Bai..."
Huo Zheng coldly reminded him:
"He's my ex-husband."
Seeing his serious expression, Jian Shuhang's heart sank.
"Brother, are you serious?"
Huo Zheng gave the other person a chilling look.
Can you not be serious?
God knows how much moral condemnation he has suffered during this time.
He even cursed himself in his heart more than once, saying he wasn't human.
Of course, Huo Zheng wouldn't share these inner thoughts with anyone, not even his brothers.
Jian Shuhang sincerely said:
"Brother, you still need to think this through."
He's not a gossipy person.
Moreover, Jian Shuhang also admires Bai Zhenzhu, so he naturally wouldn't say that Bai Zhenzhu, who is divorced and raising a child, is not good enough for his brother.
But Huo Zheng is his brother, so he will definitely side with his brother.
If Huo Zheng were to marry a divorced woman with a child, who knows what gossip would circulate.
Jian Shuhang didn't want his brother to be gossiped about.
"Although Director Bai saved you before, it's not worth risking your life for saving someone's life."
Huo Zheng said irritably:
"Not because of this."
"It was simply admiration; I thought she was an outstanding woman, and that's why I was attracted to her."
"that's it."
Jian Shuhang looked at Huo Zheng, shocked.
His brother actually opened up to him!
Back in my restless youth, all the boys in the compound would get together and chat about which girl in the compound was pretty.
His brother never participates.
Not only did he refuse to participate, but he also forbade Jian Shuhang from associating with those people.
They said those people didn't respect girls.
Jian Shuhang thought his brother was destined to be a bachelor for life, since he had never heard his brother mention any girl's name.
Unexpectedly, the flowering of this iron tree was a game-changer.
If his brother said that, then it must be serious.
Jian Shuhang took a sip of wine:
"Alright, bro, I support you."
Huo Zheng thought to himself, "Do I need your support?"
Then he picked up his drink and headed towards Huo Huaying and her group's table.
Jian Shuhang: "..."
Didn't you just want some peace and quiet?
Seeing the wine glass in Huo Zheng's hand, Huo Huaying subconsciously adopted the demeanor of an elder sister:
"Drink less. I saw you drinking one glass after another. How come your drinking habit is getting worse?"
Huo Zheng sat down next to Huo Huaying and put down his wine glass upon hearing this.
explained:
"I was thinking about something and wasn't paying attention."
He glanced at Bai Zhenzhu and then quickly explained:
"I don't usually drink much. I only have a few drinks when I have to attend social events that I can't refuse."
Huo Huaying thought these words were directed at her and nodded.
"There are some situations where it's unavoidable, so you should pay more attention to your health and not develop stomach problems at a young age."
Huo Zheng is like a very obedient and well-behaved younger brother:
"Got it, ma'am."
He seemed to suddenly remember something:
"Didn't I promise to take Junzhuo to see the big tank? I happen to have some free time recently, so I can take him there for a day."
Huo Huaying smiled and said:
"Okay, he's been like a monkey all day on vacation. You should take him out quickly, I don't have time to spend with him."
Jiang Junzhuo is Huo Huaying's only son. He is eight years old and will be eating food meant for nine-year-olds after the New Year.
Huo Zheng then turned to Bai Zhenzhu:
"Let Shuo Shuo go too, he'll definitely like it."
Bai Zhenzhu was somewhat tempted. Shuo Shuo was a military enthusiast, and if he knew he could see big tanks, he would probably be so happy he could fly.
I'm just a little worried:
"Won't it be inconvenient? Can you bring it all by yourself?"
Huo Zheng laughed:
"No problem, Shuo Shuo is very sensible and obedient."
White Pearl didn't hold back either:
"Then thank you, Mr. Huo. Shuo Shuo will definitely be happy to go."
Ge Minjing also said:
“Boys should see more of this. Shuo Shuo wants to join the army, so let him experience it beforehand.”
Jian Shuhang, sitting to the side: "..."
He suddenly realized that his brother was truly a man of great talent.
He thought his brother was clueless about finding a partner, but look at his approach, it's so sophisticated!
Huo Zheng nodded solemnly:
"Then I'll go pick up Shuo Shuo first thing tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhenzhu hadn't expected it to be tomorrow, and laughed:
"Okay."
A little while later, Zhong Ting also came over, and suddenly remembered:
"Sister Bai said she was going to treat everyone to hot pot last time. Since everyone's making plans, how about tomorrow night?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:
"I'm available anytime, it just depends on your schedule."
Huo Zheng continued:
"Tomorrow is fine. I'll take the kids out to play all day, and then we can have dinner together in the evening."
Others also said yes.
Ge Minjing is familiar with the hot pot restaurant owner, so she called ahead to reserve two tables, which could then be combined with the other tables.
Bai Zhenzhu then asked everyone to bring their families and children, saying that more people would make it more lively.
So it was such a happy decision.
After 8 o'clock, more and more people came to the KTV.
Huo Zheng suggested they go back early because it was cold.
The women decided to go home; they'd had their fill of fun.
Jian Shuhang didn't want to go back yet; with him around, Huo Zheng didn't need to worry about Zhong Ting.
"You've all been drinking, do you need me to drive you around?" Huo Zheng asked.
Ge Minjing said, "I only took a sip, and I'm fine driving."
Bai Zhenzhu also said, "I'm fine too."
She only lightly touched her lips.
Huo Huaying said irritably:
"You've had quite a bit to drink yourself, and you're still worrying about us."
Huo Zheng tried his best to control his gaze and not look around.
I gave an embarrassed smile:
"I'm fine. Actually, it wasn't much. The alcohol I drank today wasn't very strong."
Fearing that Bai Zhenzhu might leave the impression of being a heavy drinker, he assured Huo Huaying again:
"I will definitely avoid drinking from now on. I know alcohol is bad for your health, sister."
Huo Huaying nodded:
"Okay, Lan and I will ride in your car. Minjing doesn't need to go to the compound."
Ge Minjing: "That works too."
Huo Zheng: "..."
There's no way I can subtly fawn over my older sisters in front of them.
Fortunately, Cui Lan and her older sisters took good care of Bai Zhenzhu and watched her get into the car before leaving.
There were two women in the car.
Especially with Cui Lan, who loves to urge people to get married, Huo Zheng is really stressed out.
"Xiao Zheng, tell me what your requirements are for a woman."
Cui Lan was anxious:
Tell us what it looks like, and we'll help you find one.
Huo Huaying also chimed in:
"Yes, tell me what type you like."
Cui Lan: "Speak up, if you're a man, don't dawdle."
Huo Zheng was forced into a corner:
"The ideal age is around twenty-six."
"Independent, capable, kind, and from a harmonious family."
"Ideally, the parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law should all be simple and kind."
"She has fair skin, gentle eyes when she smiles, and is methodical and classy in her work."
