Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Chapter 169 Familiar Manor

After the election results are announced, the elected person will give a speech.

The moment she saw Ximen's father, Ximen Lang, coming out, Mrs. Huo stood up from her seat in anger and cursed with gnashing teeth: "The Ximen family is really a bunch of ungrateful people. Has he forgotten that he was once a disciple of our Huo family?"

"Giving a speech, haha..."

"Is this a slap in the face of our Huo family?" Old Mrs. Huo became more and more angry as she spoke. Perhaps she was too emotional. She almost fell to the ground after standing up for a while. Fortunately, Huo Cheng next to her quickly helped her up.

"Grandma." Huo Cheng's ending tone was a little dragged out, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear a sense of grievance in it.

"It's all Nadel's fault that his brother and sister returned to Country M at such a critical moment." Huo Cheng pursed his lips, very dissatisfied with this.

When she mentioned the Nadel siblings, Mrs. Huo seemed to feel even sadder, and her expression became even colder. "Don't mention those two unfilial descendants. They actually secretly returned to Country M at this time. Don't they know how important this election is to our Huo family?"

The more Mrs. Huo spoke, the angrier she became, especially when she mentioned the word "descendants". Her thoughts became extremely agitated. Huo Cheng stroked her chest and whispered something in her ear, and only then did she calm down.

When a few people not far away heard the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, they all had an expression on their faces that said "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm shocked."

Even Daomingsi, who was usually so loud, fell silent when he heard these words, which might have been out of self-confidence or recklessness.

If what Huo Cheng and her grandchildren just said were heard by the media with ulterior motives, there would inevitably be another uproar. How did they manage to ignore so many reporters and even shout loudly at the election site?

The expressions on several people's faces were very interesting. No one spoke for a while, mainly because they didn't know what to say after hearing such speechless words.

"He schemes against others and expects them to help him. What kind of crazy logic is this?" Daomingsi couldn't help it and complained harshly. He felt very disgusted with the Huo family's behavior. How could they want to use others and at the same time plan how to kick them away?

The Huo family's series of actions really make people feel confused and puzzled.

Mei Zuo reached out and touched his hair, and after a long while he managed to utter, "Mrs. Huo might have stopped talking just now because she was dizzy due to high blood pressure. If she had the strength left, she might even scold Shan Lai..." As he spoke, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Ximen was almost laughing at what the Huo family said. Why didn't they remember that Nadel and his sister said they would definitely help the Huo family?

The things that happened in the Huo family back then were well known in the circle. Huo Guangwei was the one who was forcibly separated, and the situation of their daughter Huo Fu was not much better, which made people feel both angry and funny when they heard about it.

If it weren't for the fact that the person Huo Fu liked back then, the Ferdru family, the family of Nadel's father, was rich, powerful and influential in Country M, I'm afraid their fate would not be much better than that of Huo Guangwei and his wife.

Even in this situation, they are still wishful thinking that the Ferdru family will use their connections to support them. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that it is a daydream?

Lei stood aside without saying a word, just quietly watching his good brothers, and then glanced towards the Huo family's grandparents and grandchildren.

"Don't look at it. There's nothing to see. Today is a good day for the Ximen family to be elected. We should go back and open some champagne to celebrate." Mei Zuo patted Lei's shoulder and reminded him.

"Mei Zuo is right." Daoming Si agreed.

"Okay, okay, my father said this morning that if I'm lucky enough to be elected, he'll hold a small dinner tonight to celebrate. Everyone can come over and have fun then." Simon said that although he didn't understand it, he could still accept it.

"Okay, it's only right that we celebrate." Lei said with a smile.

"The Shanlai family is our honored guest this time. Please give them some face and don't cause trouble for me." Ximen reminded them and glanced at Daomingsi next to him.

He was afraid that Ah Si would get angry and mess up the matter.

"I know. You don't have to remind me specifically." Daomingsi felt that what Ximen said was redundant. Everyone was not a child anymore and could tell the importance of things.

The reporters in the audience were carrying cameras and clicking away. The flash was so strong that it seemed it could blind people. However, the person on the stage was not affected by the flash. He smiled and said a few polite words before starting to express his gratitude for being elected.

Finally, when he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

Next was the question-and-answer session for reporters.

There was nothing more for them to do afterwards. Mei Zuo and a few others smiled and left the venue and went to Ximen's house, saying that they were going to his house to see the banquet scene tonight.

When they stepped out of the venue, a pair of eyes looked at them with resentment.

……

Shan Lai followed his parents to the manor they had bought in Country K a few years ago. This manor was located in a famous wealthy area in Country K. It was said that it was built by a famous architect and it took a full five years from material selection to completion.

It was said to have taken five years to build, but in fact it was only recently completed, only within the past two months.

It should be said that this manor was just completed when Shanlai just returned to Country K. The furniture and other things were bought just a month ago, and many of them were shipped from abroad.

The manor is a typical European-style building, half of which is covered by green vegetation. There is a huge fountain opposite the gate, surrounded by some unknown flowers and plants.

There was even an artificial lake not far away, with several swans chasing and playing on the water.

Further inside is the lobby, the entire lobby's decoration looks extremely luxurious.

Shanlai felt that the layout of the manor was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Thinking that this would be his future home, Shanlai still felt a little uncomfortable.

When her family was in Country M, they lived in a sea view villa. They didn't have to go out to see the sea, they could see it by just opening the bedroom window.

After returning to Country K, she lived in a top-notch apartment in a bustling area. She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of place.

"Baby, although mom hasn't come back, I still personally supervised them to decorate your room. Come with mom to take a look." Dong Shen smiled and pulled Shan Lai upstairs.

"Okay." Shanlai was also very happy.

Although her parents are not back from Country M, they have already arranged everything for her. They really have good intentions.
