Love to the bone: Uncle is too good at flirting

"What dance?"

It was rare for Huo Xiao to be absent-minded, and asked a question that made Zhan Ruoshen a little stunned.

"The evening show of the 'Hayden' charity event." Zhan Ruoshen reminded: "You have already turned down the morning show, so you still have to go there at night."

It was only then that Huo Xiao remembered that the "Hayden" charity was a funding project created to help children with congenital heart disease. The sponsor was President Li of Jinghua University. Of course, he also made donations.

Originally, he always attended this kind of event in a low-key manner, but he might not be there when he was interested in people. He is not a person who likes to make gestures, but this time Principal Li personally invited him, just for the sake of this old man, he also wants to attend in person. .

It was originally planned to have Lu Manman as a female companion, but now that Wen Liang is lying in the Huo family's mansion, do you really not consider bringing the legitimate Mrs. Huo to attend?

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Xiao gave up on the idea of ​​extra problems, and told Zhan Ruoshen: "When will it be later, ask Lu Manman for clarification."

Zhan Ruoshen nodded and left, while Huo Xiao called the housekeeper at home, saying that he would not go back for dinner tonight.

At this moment, Wen Liang was sitting in the dining room with a thin blanket on, drinking red bean and barley porridge. Although she did not answer the call, one could know what was going on from the butler's response.

When the housekeeper put down the phone, Wen Liang turned around and asked, "He's not coming back?"

The butler replied in a difficult way: "Yes, the owner said that he has something to do in the evening, so he told you to eat dinner well and take medicine on time."

Wen Liangxiu frowned, wondering if she was avoiding her indirectly?

The butler was also depressed. Hearing Madam's tone, he didn't even call "Uncle" the most kind, and called "he" coldly. How blunt it was. It seems that the Patriarch didn't coax Madam well at all last night. Worrying.

"I see."

Wen Liang calmly replied to the housekeeper, but the little abacus was crackling.

Wouldn't the uncle think that if he treated her coldly once again, she would go back to her mother's house in anger?
Hmph, she wouldn't just leave without knowing his attitude. Why can that woman, Lu Manman, stay by his side all day long, but she, the real wife, can't stand up?

You must know that after she mentioned the word "divorce" last night, the uncle's reaction was so intense, which shows that he still has feelings for him. Besides, that Miss Lu Manman will leave sooner or later, so she will not lose to a companion who has not been there for many years. A woman who turns friendship into love!
Thinking of it this way, Wen Liang suddenly became full of confidence, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't reported her parents' safety all day, so she used the Huo family's phone to call her parents.

It was Mother Wen who answered the phone. As soon as she heard her daughter's voice, her heart went back to her stomach.

In fact, Huo Xiao called in the morning and told them that Wen Liang would live in Huo's house for a few days.

Originally, the daughter was already married to someone else, and it was a matter of course to live in the Huo family, but now the situation is different. They were afraid that Huo Xiao would forcibly leave Wen Liang behind. Now that they heard that their daughter was safe and sound, they felt much more at ease. .

Mother Wen felt a little guilty. If Huo Xiao, the son-in-law, really wanted to do something excessive to Liang Liang, he wouldn't wait for the two of them to react. They were too worried.

"Mom, how are you and Dad? Do you miss me?"

Hearing her daughter's energetic voice as usual, Mother Wen smiled lovingly and said, "You're still acting like a baby at such an age. Your father and I are busy, so I don't think about you."

"Well, I knew that without me at home, you are actually at home. Old dog food, the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it will be."

Amused by her daughter's joking voice, Mother Wen laughed heartily. Now, she knew that her daughter was not treated badly in the Huo family as before, but...
"Liangliang, why is your voice hoarse?"

Wen Liang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said wisely: "I choked on something I drank just now, and my throat feels a little uncomfortable."

She didn't dare to say that it was caused by a cold and a sore throat, otherwise Mother Wen would have to worry for a long time, and maybe she would have to go back to recuperate.

She's not that stupid, she finally got the chance to stay at Huo's house, the "revolution" hasn't succeeded yet, she can't change her position yet!

"Oh, you child is so careless in everything you do." Mother Wen reprimanded her distressedly, but she didn't care, and changed the subject, "By the way, how are you and Huo Xiao doing now?"

There was a "click" in Wen Liang's heart.

Mother's question is obviously to get to the bottom of it, but now she doesn't understand Huo Xiao's intentions, how can she speak to her family?
You can't say that you forced yourself to stay, can you?

"Hey, mom, it's actually because uncle was a little annoyed that I didn't listen to him and went abroad to find him without permission. He was afraid that I would be in danger, so he kept me cold for a few days, so that I can remember. You and Dad don't worry. Come on, uncle treats me very well!"

Mother Wen listened. Although she felt that her daughter's statement was a bit forced to explain, she didn't ask any more questions.

As long as her daughter and Huo Xiao can get along happily, the past grievances can be ignored. However, when Father Wen comes back later, she still wants to tell her husband.

"In this case, then you and Ah Xiao get along well and don't always be so willful." Mother Wen sighed.

Wen Liang's heart was sour, and he replied, "Mom, you are being unfair. When did I become self-willed? How can I have such a sensible and well-behaved daughter?"

"Puchi!" Mother Wen's heart was pounding, "Okay, okay, Liangliang is the most sensible, it's mom's caring little padded jacket, okay?"

"of course!"

The mother and daughter talked on the phone for a while, and after hanging up the phone, Wen Liang felt more and more wise not to tell his parents about the current situation.

The family has already worried a lot for her. From the time when Huo's family was in crisis until now, she can see her parents haggard at the speed of the naked eye. Now it is her and the other half's problem, and her parents can no longer be entangled.

After making up his mind, Wen Liang asked the butler beside him.

"Did uncle say when he will be back?"

The butler shook his head: "The head of the family is attending a dance today, and it will probably end later, so Madam doesn't have to wait."

"prom?"

The warm and cool ears caught the point.

"Doesn't that mean that uncle needs a female companion?"

Although Wen Liang didn't take part in this kind of occasion, she grew up in the upper circles under the influence of her ears and eyes.

General activities will focus on a certain interest. For example, if it is emphasized that it is a "reception party", bringing a partner is secondary, and wine tasting is the last word. However, the dance party emphasizes the word "dance", and most people will follow the custom and bring it Female or male companion.

Only then did the housekeeper realize what he had said, and quickly explained: "It's a charity ball, and the head of the house was also invited to donate."

He didn't want the head of the house to become a socially obsessed playboy in the eyes of his wife.

Wen Liang raised her head thoughtfully: "Then—does uncle have a female companion?"

"Uh" the butler was speechless.

Of course he knew that the Patriarch had invited Miss Lu, and that Miss Lu's custom-made dress was sent by his client, but how should he answer now!
Seeing the butler's hesitant attitude, even without answering, Wen Liang knew what was going on, and immediately stood up and asked, "Where is the dance venue?"

The housekeeper frowned anxiously: "Madam, this is."

"I'm going to the dance." Wen Liang replied loudly.

The butler suddenly felt dizzy, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, you haven't recovered yet and need to rest more. It's not suitable for you to participate in such a crowded place, or"

"No!" Wen Liang walked upstairs regardless, "If you don't make a move, the uncle will be snatched away!"

housekeeper:"."

Well, anyway, it's a good thing Ma'am is crisis-conscious.

The butler who followed Wen Liang still tried his best to persuade him.

"Ma'am, you don't have an invitation letter, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the ball, and the owner told you to take a good rest, so please"

Turning back Wen Liangwu: "Uncle Housekeeper, what style of dress do you think I should wear to today's ball?"

The butler answered involuntarily: "Today's theme is charity, and it is not appropriate to be too flamboyant, so Madam can choose a long dress with a more gentle and demure shape. Madam, I mean, it is really not suitable for you to go today."

Wen Liang raised her index finger, and shook her finger with a serious face.

"I know what you're worried about. It's just that uncle has a girlfriend. It's embarrassing for me to go, but it's okay. Isn't it a while before the dance? Just tell uncle that I'll be his girlfriend. Anything else Women—no, yes, yes!"

The butler secretly gave Wen Liang 32 likes: Madam is domineering!
Wen Liang entered the cloakroom and began to rack his brains for his own image, while the butler on the other end sighed silently in his heart, and called Huo Xiao.

At this moment, there is still an afternoon away from the dinner at the beginning of Huadeng, which is enough to re-invite companions, but Huo Xiao obviously has no such plan. After receiving the butler's report, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

".So, Patriarch, you see—"

"You don't need her to come." Huo Xiao didn't think for a long time, and answered within two seconds.

The housekeeper was depressed and embarrassed: "But Madam has already gone upstairs to prepare clothes, and she won't listen to me if I ask."

The implication is that Wen Liang must answer this call in person and hear the other party's rejection with his own ears.

I thought that the head of the family would be unbearable if he said this, and agreed to the madam half-heartedly, but before the housekeeper became happy, he heard the calm voice of the man on the other end.

"Let her answer the phone."

The butler frowned.

As a domestic servant, he really has no right to comment on the Patriarch's orders, but as an old man who has served the Huo family loyally for many years, he still has the right to speak.

"Patriarch, Madam seems to want to accompany you very much. Although her body has not recovered, she is still in good spirits. The mood of a sick person is also very important. Maybe she will be in a better mood after attending the ball with you and recover faster. Woolen cloth?"
