"Xiangyun? Cousin? Why are you standing outside?"

Wu Ruolan was a little confused by the other party's sudden enthusiasm. You must know that the mother and daughter had always looked down on her, always feeling that her background was not good enough and she was not worthy of the Huo family.

Some people think that she has not given birth to a son and a half daughters in so many years, and has not fulfilled her responsibilities as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. She is always indifferent to her, and occasionally finds fault with her.

It's rare to be as enthusiastic as today.

"Didn't this just cause some trouble..."

"Ahem...Sister-in-law, where was your cheongsam made today? Why does it look so good...The color of bamboo leaf green is particularly suitable for you...it makes your skin very white, and this style is suitable for a figure like yours. , it’s so beautiful…”

Seeing that his mother was about to spill the beans, Huo Xiangyun quickly interrupted her and praised Wu Ruolan.

Sure enough, the other party's attention was immediately diverted.

"You are talking about this... Mom specially asked Master Hu to customize it... She said that today is Baozhu and Cheng Yu's big day, so everyone should dress more grandly."

"So much attention... It seems that my aunt really values ​​me as my sister-in-law..."

There was something in Huo Xiangyun's words, and the smile on Wu Ruolan's face actually faded a bit.

"It's a hot sun outside and the banquet is about to start. Let's go in quickly."

Huo Xiangyun knew at a glance that Wu Ruolan had listened again. Taking advantage of her daze, he quickly held her hand and was about to go in while she was talking.

Wu Ruolan didn't know what was going on, so she was led in by the mother and daughter in a daze.

"Why are you here again? Didn't I say you are not welcome? Ruolan?"

Huo's mother frowned when she saw Huo Xiangyun and her daughter again. When she looked again, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law, who was standing next to them with a confused look on her face, and she understood everything.

"Aunt...we know we were wrong...there are so many people here today...just for the sake of grandpa, please give us a little face..."

Compared to her nagging cousin, Huo Xiangyun obviously understood better what it means to be a talented person who knows the current affairs.

She has always been the most refined egoist. She was willing to help Meng Rou matchmaking before because she felt that the other party might still become her "sister-in-law", so there was room for maneuver.

But today, when I saw Huo Chengyu expressing his attitude so resolutely, he immediately changed his position and directly admitted his mistake.

She admitted her mistake so simply that Huo's mother didn't know how to react.

"What's wrong? Just...what happened?"

Only then did Wu Ruolan realize something was wrong...

"They brought the Meng family to our door, but we kicked them out."

Mother Huo looked at the confused eldest daughter-in-law, and her tone was a little cold.

She also knew not to express her anger. After all, Wu Ruolan had just come back from outside and didn't know anything. But these two people had just been kicked out and were brought back by the other party. No matter how big-hearted she was, it was hard to be happy.

"Ah...this..."

Wu Ruolan's expression changed when she heard the word "Meng". She looked at Huo Xiangyun who looked aside and her expression was a little ugly, "Xiangyun, why didn't you tell me earlier..."

This mother and daughter are really hateful!

This is bullying her without knowing the inside story, and using her as a raft!

"Is everyone here? Please take your seats."

As they were talking here, they saw Mr. Huo and Mr. Xia coming out. Everyone stood up instantly and looked at the old man respectfully.

"sister in law……"

My cousin was really honest this time, looking at Huo's mother as if asking for help.

"Forget it, just sit at the table outside. Remember, don't make any more trouble, and don't come forward, otherwise I won't care about you!"

Seeing the bustle, the party was about to start. After all, it was Cheng Yu and Bao Zhu's wedding day, and she didn't want these irrelevant people to interfere with it.

"Thank you, aunt! Thank you, aunt!"

Upon seeing this, Huo Xiangyun immediately pulled her mother to sit down.

"Come with me."

Huo's mother nodded towards her eldest daughter-in-law and motioned for her and her to go ahead.

Wu Ruolan hurriedly followed. For such a big occasion...she was actually a little scared.

She remembered that when she got married, the ceremony was held at home, but the format was not as good as it is now, and the ceremony was not grand. They simply held a banquet in this courtyard.

But due to the special circumstances that year, even relatives did not come that much. In the end, there were simply two tables, one for her natal family and one for the Huo family.

It was incomparable to the current scene.

There are actually only two people coming to the Xia family today. I heard they are Baozhu's cousin and second aunt.

Counting Mr. Xia, there were three relatives in total, but the Huo family sat at seven tables.

It was bustling, and now there were many family members who were usually indifferent to her, chatting enthusiastically around Xia Baozhu.

Looking at Xia Baozhu, who was surrounded by stars and the moon, Wu Ruolan felt as if her heart had been gently tugged, a little sour and a little astringent.

She also knew that the Huo family had just recovered when she held the banquet, and it was naturally incomparable with the Huo family that was now in full swing. It was normal for those people to come specifically to please Xia Baozhu.

But reason is reason, and it is really difficult for her not to compare secretly...

"This is our brother Yu's daughter-in-law. She's so pretty! Did I hear that this child is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Nan Province? Not bad! I said that brother Yu has a lot of potential and has a high vision. I'm looking for you now. , we got our top pick back!"

"Isn't that true...I also heard that our Baozhu not only has good grades, but also good English. Even the girl from the Liu family praised her! What a talented girl!"

"Baozhu... This is your brother Guolin. He will take the college entrance examination next year. You have to help pass on your experience later!"

"Hey...sister-in-law doesn't like you being like this! We have so many children in the Huo family... Guolin can't just be given a tutor, we all have to come and listen!"

The Huo family praised Xia Baozhu so much that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Uncles and aunts praise me too much...I just have better luck..."

"You kid... you're so humble. That's the number one scholar. How many of them can there be in the whole country? We are all members of our own family, so we don't want to be too humble."

"that is……"

"Hey... Baozhu, this jade pendant of yours... was given by the old man?"

As he was talking, someone with sharp eyes suddenly saw the jade pendant around Xia Baozhu's neck. Xia Baozhu was startled, lowered his head and touched the jade pendant on his neck, and nodded, "Grandpa gave it to me."

"Let me tell you...it seems that the old lady loves Brother Yu the most. I remember that this is an old thing left by her old man. She said at the beginning that she would give it to Brother Yu's future wife. Now When I saw it...I thought of the old lady..."

"Isn't it... This was the old lady's most cherished jewelry during her lifetime. Back then, her house was confiscated..."
