Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xian watched a farce and drank his porridge obediently.

"Sister-in-law, did you fight with brother last night?" Xiao Zhao suddenly asked in confusion.

Su Xian's face was full of question marks.

The little guy pointed at her neck, where the bruises and purple marks were very obvious.

Now, a group of people looked over, with indescribable strange expressions in their eyes.

Just now she felt that she was wearing thick clothes in winter and she was wearing a scarf when she came here, so she would not be seen, so she did not cover it with powder. However, when she entered the restaurant, the heating was so strong that she forgot about it and took off the scarf.

At this moment, she wished she could crawl into the ground, and her originally fair face turned red in an instant.

"Sister didn't fight with brother."

The little guy still refused to stop and continued, "You're lying. My mom got this mark on her body after her dad and mom had a fight!"

Uncle Huo couldn't laugh anymore as the melon fell on his head.

"Eat your meal well." The young aunt gave the little guy a slap on the face.

The little guy covered his forehead with his hands in grievance, not knowing what he had said wrong.

After such a commotion, Su Xian really had no appetite to eat. Looking at the man next to him who was calm, expressionless and unaffected, he really admired his calmness.

"I'm full, you guys take your time eating." After saying that, he slipped away.

After she left, Uncle Huo held back his laughter.

"Young people should learn moderation..."

Huo Li put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "Seventh Uncle, come back this year."

Uncle Huo stopped laughing. Go back to China and stay under his mother's supervision?

In the past, there were Lao Ba and Lu Ming. Now Lao Ba suddenly has two sons, and Lu Ming is also taken. The mother's attention is now focused on him, and she tries all kinds of ways to encourage him to have a baby.

If he comes back, he will be walking into a trap.

But before he could refuse, Huo Li continued, "It's been a busy time recently, and I have no time to focus. You come back to help me, and leave the overseas affairs to my uncle."

"Isn't Sixth Brother at home?" Uncle Huo frowned.

Sixth Uncle Huo has been in charge of domestic affairs since the eldest uncle of the Huo family came to power. Unlike the third and fourth brothers, he is ruthless and harsh. He does not seem to be from a noble family, but rather someone who has climbed up from the bottom.

"Sixth Uncle is old!" Huo Li remained calm.

Sixth Brother is old? What a joke! Sixth Brother is not even fifty years old and is in the prime of his life.

Aunt Liu's face turned ugly and she wanted to say something, but after looking around, she said nothing.

Everyone at the table, whether children or women, was silent and ate their breakfast in silence.

Uncle Huo was confused and looked at his brothers. The sixth brother was drinking porridge with a blank expression, the third and fourth brothers looked like they didn't hear anything, and the eighth brother looked even more indifferent.

"Qi Ye, ask the kitchen to make another breakfast and put it in my car." Huo Li ordered, and then said to Uncle Huo Liu: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Qi is not familiar with the country, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of him."

"Luming, you don't intend to let me have a good New Year?" Uncle Huo put down his bowl and chopsticks heavily, his eyes gloomy.

"Uncle Sixth, you're too polite. You're not in good health. I just want you to take a good rest and recuperate." Huo Li's tone was calm and peaceful.

"Okay, very good. You've grown wings and don't even take me seriously. Third brother, fourth brother, don't you have anything to say? Are you going to watch this brat covering the sky with one hand?"

"Sixth brother, watch your words. Lu Ming is the head of the Huo family!" said Uncle Huo, frowning slightly.

Uncle Huo understood now. He looked around and said coldly, "You have discussed this a long time ago, right?"

"Hmph!" Uncle Huo walked away, and Aunt Six followed closely behind him. She had to tell the Zhou family about this matter as soon as possible.

Huo Li smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The news of this huge change in the Huo family's direct line on New Year's Day was quickly spread to those who had ulterior motives.

The outside world is turbulent.

There have long been rumors that Huo Laoliu is not Madam Huo's biological son, but an illegitimate child that the old man raised outside. The old lady has expressed her dislike for him in public more than once.

In addition, he is ruthless and ruthless in his actions. When Mr. Huo was in charge, he was like a sharp knife.

Later, after he married into the Zhou family and Uncle Huo passed away, his style of doing things gradually changed.

After Su Xian slipped out, he did not return to Qizitang, but went to Grandma Huo's yard with his two little tails.

Grandma Huo was playing with birds in the corridor. She looked energetic and didn't seem to be feeling unwell at all.

"Grandma, grandma." The clear voices of the two little ones rang out.

Grandma Huo narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Grandma, Aunt Rou just said that you felt unwell when you woke up this morning and didn't even have breakfast. How are you now?" Su Xian held her hand and sat on the chair in the corridor.

"It's an old problem, it's not a big deal." Grandma Huo patted her hands and said.

After chatting with Grandma Huo for a while, Aunt Rou came over and whispered a few words in Grandma Huo's ear.

"Let them be. If you are not deaf or dumb, you don't deserve to be a father-in-law." Grandma Huo said.

After a while, Huo Yuan and others arrived.

Suddenly the yard was bustling with activity.

"Sister Yuan, let's go to the movies later. My new film, Dream Builder, is released today. You have to contribute to the box office revenue of my new film."

Huo Yuan was a little amused. "Why are you looking for me instead of your man for something like watching a movie?"

"He has something to do." Su Xian curled his lips.

"I have a date today, you go ask Minmin and the others." Huo Yuan said with a smile.

"I've asked all of that just now."

Everyone has a date. Instead of staying at home to spend time with their elders during the New Year, they just go out and play!

"Then you'll just have to take the two little kids with you."

Su Xian's face suddenly fell.

It would be better for her to go by herself instead of taking care of the two little ones.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I guess you don't have time to watch a movie today." Huo Yuan tapped her forehead. This little girl probably didn't even know that her identity had changed. There are some things that must be done even if you are not prepared or unwilling.

In the end, as Huo Yuan said, he didn't go.

Huo Li had been keeping hold of her for a long time, and sent someone to tell her that he would be going to visit an elder at his home to wish him a happy new year.

Several courtyards are surrounded by green trees and look particularly quiet.

If you ignore the numerous armed guards, it really seems like a paradise.

The vehicle slowly drove into an inconspicuous courtyard.

Su Xian began to feel inexplicably nervous.

To be able to be assigned as a guard, one must have a very high status.

"It's just a New Year's greeting for an elder you met when you were a child. Don't be so formal." Huo Li comforted him.

How could she not be restrained? She thought she was going to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Huo family's side branches or the Huo family's long-standing friends.

"Bu Huo, Miss Su, please."

A typical courtyard house with a big pomegranate tree in the middle and a large water tank under the tree.
