After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby
Chapter 717: This moment, I have waited too long
"..." The Liu mother and daughter opened their mouths in silence, almost crying in anxiety, completely losing the arrogance they had just shown in front of Gu Jinlan.
Madam Liu looked at Gu Jinlan in panic, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry..."
"Mrs. Liu." Old Master Huo interrupted.
He rested his hands on the metal cane, staring at Mrs. Liu with his bright eyes with great majesty, and exuded an intimidating aura.
"If you want to save some dignity for yourselves, please leave immediately. Otherwise, I will have to call security to throw you out."
The Liu mother and daughter had visited Mr. Huo privately before.
That time, the impression that Mr. Huo gave them was that of an elegant and gentle old man, who was very approachable and easy to talk to.
At this moment, Mr. Huo had a stern expression on his face, as if he was the one who had the final say.
Seeing that Mr. Huo was really angry, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to say anything else. She quickly took her daughter's hand and left in shame.
Old Master Huo's expression relaxed. He took two steps forward to stand in front of Gu Jinlan and bowed slightly.
"Ms. Gu, I'm really sorry for making you feel wronged."
"Mr. Huo, please don't be like this." Gu Jinlan said quickly, "I can't bear it."
Mr. Huo looked up at her with admiration in his eyes, and explained, "The Mrs. Liu just now is the wife of Mr. Liu, whose e-commerce business has been booming in the past two years."
Gu Jinlan nodded slightly, "No wonder."
It turns out he is a nouveau riche.
No wonder there is a smug smell of money about him.
Mr. Huo added: "Mr. Liu spent a lot of money on charity not long ago, so I invited his family to the housewarming party this time. I didn't expect..."
"If I had known they were such people, I would never have invited them tonight. I am really ashamed to have made you unhappy tonight."
Gu Jinlan smiled faintly, "Don't worry about it. They can't affect my mood. I have seen many people like them."
After she moved into the Shi family, even the kindergarten had a lot of unpleasant rumors about her.
Who made Shi Ye so outstanding?
Since she enjoyed the honor and favor given to her by that noble man, she had to endure the rumors.
Mr. Huo was puzzled and asked: "In fact, you can get the respect of everyone, why..."
Gu Jinlan raised her hand slightly and interrupted Mr. Huo's words.
She saw Shi Ye walking towards her.
"Mr. Huo, let's talk when we are free. Please go and host the dinner first."
After saying that, Gu Jinlan walked towards him without waiting for Shi Ye to come closer.
Shi Ye is a jealous person and can't stand any male creature around her.
She did not explain to Shi Ye why Mr. Huo was so friendly to her, so it was no wonder that he misunderstood.
Old Master Huo turned his head to look at Gu Jinlan's back, and sighed in his heart: "I really didn't expect that Lan Tian is such a young girl."
When Gu Jinlan walked up to Shi Ye, she took his arm and said, "Let's go."
Shi Ye turned around and glanced at Mr. Huo, "What were you and Grandpa Huo talking about just now?"
Gu Jinlan said: "We didn't talk about anything, we just met after going to the bathroom and said hello."
Shi Ye was puzzled, "Why do I feel that..."
"What do you think?"
"Nothing, let's go."
Shi Ye didn't dare to continue speaking.
He just felt that there was something wrong with the way Mr. Huo looked at Lan Lan.
If Lanlan's relationship with the Zhao family had not been confirmed, he would have suspected that Lanlan was Mr. Huo's illegitimate daughter who was left alone.
The dinner party officially started.
Mr. Huo stood in the middle of the hall and gave a speech:
"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my housewarming party tonight. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."
"Before the dinner officially begins, I would like to introduce someone to you all."
As soon as Mr. Huo finished speaking, Shu Yi couldn't wait to walk to the middle of the room, holding up her skirt in full view of everyone.
She had waited too long for this moment.
It has only been more than twenty hours since I met Mr. Huo last night.
But these twenty hours felt extremely long to her.
Especially just now, when she was fighting alone against Gu Jinlan and the others, she wished that time could jump to this point in an instant.
There were guests standing in a circle outside. Shu Yi raised his chin slightly, with a proud smile on the corner of his lips, sweeping across the faces of everyone with different expressions.
Most people were surprised. They didn't expect that the person Mr. Huo wanted to introduce solemnly was the ordinary stepdaughter of the Song family.
"Look how proud she is." Zhao Jingchuan sneered disdainfully.
As a member of the Zhao family, I don't think that being related to Mr. Huo is something to be proud of.
Being a member of the Zhao family comes with pride and honor.
So when Shu Yi showed off in front of him, he just found it funny.
Yun Luoxi frowned slightly and whispered, "With Mr. Huo as her backer, will she blatantly snatch Ranran away?"
Zhao Jingchuan's eyes darkened, "She dares!"
Not far away, Shu Zhengzhe looked at Shu Yi who was walking to the middle, and had a vague ominous premonition in his heart.
He glanced at Shu He beside him, "Xiao He, why do I feel that your sister insisted on having us come here so much, isn't it for us to witness Mr. Huo recognize her as his granddaughter? Is there something else?"
Shu He comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Dad, nothing will happen."
She thought her sister just wanted to show off.
When she talked with her sister before, she could tell from her words that she was very disdainful of her becoming a famous dancer.
Maybe my sister has been living under the roof of the Song family for all these years, and she has developed some inferiority complex deep in her heart.
In addition, her sister's career had not improved after returning from studying abroad, so she was eager to prove herself.
Shi Ye and Gu Jinlan stood further away and did not squeeze to the front to join in the fun.
But because of Shi Ye's status, the guests all respected him very much and consciously made way so as not to block his sight.
So from where he and Gu Jinlan were standing, they could clearly see Mr. Huo and Shu Yi in the middle of the hall.
Seeing that Mr. Huo was looking at Shu Yi, Shi Ye said, "If Grandpa Huo recognizes Shu Yi as his granddaughter, it may make him lose face if we take action again."
For someone of Mr. Huo's status and position, it is a very shameful thing to be unable to judge people and have no vision.
"Don't be anxious." Gu Jinlan gently shook the goblet in his hand.
The light from the crystal chandelier sprinkled on the wine, and as she shook it, the bright light reflected from the red wine reflected into her eyes, dazzlingly.
She looked at Shu Yi leisurely, tilted her head, raised her slender neck, and took a sip of wine.
In the middle of the hall, Shu Yi couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Seeing that Mr. Huo didn't continue speaking, she turned to look at him.
Mr. Huo asked, "Miss Shu, why are you here?"
