It's hard to be a stepmother

Downstairs, Bo Yu was explaining to Huo Hanchuan about tomorrow's affairs, and I followed suit for a while. The butler Yu made the arrangements properly, and Huo Hanchuan had no objections. He glanced at me and said, "You and Bo Yu will watch over these things." It’s fine, don’t be too grand.”

I nodded, Huo Hanchuan stood up: "I still have work to do, you should rest first."

I went to bed on time at night, but he hadn't come back when I went to sleep, so I didn't take out my presents, neither special nor expensive enough, so it's not too late.

Woke up early in the morning the next day, and Yu Bo and the others got up too, and they had already started packing up.They stopped following us to the hotel and went all out to prepare for the evening dinner.

The birthday banquet in the hotel was indeed not too different from when we got married. The table was full of guests, so I was only responsible for standing next to Huo Hanchuan and welcoming the guests with him.After drinking for three rounds, the birthday party was over in the afternoon.

At the evening dance party, the ones who came to Huo’s house were his friends. Huo Hanchuan studied in the UK. Many of his friends are foreigners or mixed race. I still know one of them, that is LEE, the brand director of MJ. I took a second look because most of the others brought their wives with them. Huo Hanchuan's friends are around his age, and most of them are married and established.

Because there were a lot of people, LEE and his partner only nodded to me, and said to Huo Hanchuan: "You guys are busy first, we will talk later."

When almost everyone arrived, the dance began. As the birthday star, Huo Hanchuan naturally became the lead dancer. He stretched out his hand to me, and I smiled and put on it. I can dance, which is what every actor knows. It's just that it's always awkward for two men to dance. They are about the same height and have stiff waists. Fortunately, the music is easy-going, not a standard waltz. I don't have to force myself to dance the female step. The tacit understanding is not enough, I was afraid of stepping on his feet, so I stopped a few times, and staggered slightly, Huo Hanchuan took the hand on my waist and helped me take it, so the lead dancer was stable jumped down.

In the applause of everyone, he took my hand and thanked everyone: "Thank you for coming to my birthday today. Since you are here, you can do whatever you want."

This dinner is really easy-going, much more free than the formal banquets in the hotel, those who want to dance can dance, those who don't dance can just sit and chat in the small flower hall,

After dancing a few dances with his male partner, LEE came to say hello to Huo Hanchuan. Their tones were familiar. It seemed that LEE was modest in what he said last time. He and Huo Hanchuan were indeed old friends.I even suspected that I was doing favoritism and perverting the law by being their brand spokesperson.

He also greeted me with a smile, and introduced his male companion, Zhao Silin, who is a Chinese. Although he has dyed golden hair, he is a Beijing movie, and he said: "Hey Hey, Mr. Huo's delicate place is really well hidden."

LEE took his hand and smiled at me: "Sorry, he has a childish temper."

Zhao Silin retorted: "What did I say wrong? Mr. Huo? When the two of you got married, you were not allowed to make trouble in the bridal chamber. Isn't this just Tibetan beauty?"

Huo Hanchuan only said: "Yes, I just don't want you to make trouble."

Zhao Silin cut his voice: "I know the person you're looking for has to be hidden, so you should hide it well, it's just... a disaster..."

I looked at him and let him swallow the rest of the words. He coughed at me: "I don't have any other intentions. I mean, just hurt him as long as you want. He is not a good person, and he can bear the trouble."

What I said is the same as disastrous to the country and the people.

LEE apologized to me and Huo Hanchuan, I didn't say anything, he was right in what he said, I also think Huo Hanchuan is not a good person.

Huo Hanchuan held my hand a little tighter, but his voice was calm: "You came to my house and you talk so much nonsense, don't come again next time."

Zhao Silin laughed aloud: "Why did I expose her face, and became angry from embarrassment. I told you earlier that it is better to marry a man. There will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there will be no such messes. Now you know it?"

He didn't know if his words were the truth or he did it rashly, but he was somewhat outspoken. I don't know if Mrs. Huo was angry when she heard it.I don't care anymore, anyway, I already know the purpose of Huo Hanchuan marrying me, indeed I blocked a lot of unnecessary troubles by myself.

When I was distracted, Huo Hanchuan put his arms around my waist, and I glanced at him, because it was a dance party, and the light in the living room was not bright, which made his eyes dim and unclear, I asked him: "What's the matter?" ?”

He smiled at me: "Go and see where Ozawa has gone."

I agreed, and went to find Huo Baize on the dance floor. Behind me, Zhao Silin cut his voice and said, "You guys are really boring. I'm going to dance too. Did I see Qi Kai coming just now?"

LEE's voice behind him: "Yes, you can go find him."

I also saw Qi Kai, he came today, he is on the dance floor now, the dance floor is no longer classical dance music, modern dance, everyone dances very freely, Qi Kai is only [-] years old, and he dances very well That's right, everyone's applause was won, so Zhao Silin quickly found him, the two of them slid into the dance floor, like ducks in water, and soon became the center of the dance floor.

I also found Huo Baize, the dress he made today is very beautiful, the little black suit has silver flower spikes on the epaulets, it is shining when he walks, not to mention when he is dancing, I saw it at a glance, he was walking with him The little aunt danced together, Huo Yunlan saw me coming and waved to me: "Brother Chen, come quickly! Look at how well Xiaoze dances!"

Huo Baize spun around proudly, but he didn't turn well and almost fell over. I held him by the collar and let him turn around. He clapped my hands after he was able to stand still: "I can dance well by myself! Don't grab me!" I!"

Okay, it's quite a shame.

Huo Yunlan took him by the hand: "Brother Chen, let's dance together."

The three of them danced together, like children playing house, but no one laughed at them anyway, they were not professional dancers, and this place was not a stage. Huo Hanchuan's birthday party was very free, and the dances were all improvised.

The more I danced, the happier I was, especially when I was doing the tap dance, Huo Baize was so excited, he was sweating profusely when he held my little hand, and I was sweating from the dance.

After finishing this lively dance, I led him to the bathroom to pee. He would rather dance this song while holding his breath. I have nothing to say about his professionalism.

There was someone in the bathroom on the first floor. I was afraid that Huo Baize would pee his pants, so I took him to the second floor. Huo Baize didn't dare to go up the stairs with his calf in his hands. I picked him up and told him, "Don't pee your pants."

Huo Baize snorted: "Then hurry up."

I carried him up to the second floor, Huo Hanchuan's bedroom and I were closer, and Huo Baize's was closer, but they were all on one side, just around the corner, and Huo Baize was struggling to go to the bathroom upstairs, and I just wanted to let go When he came down, he saw a man standing in the corridor.

It was a woman in a blue dress with a slim figure and her back was facing us. For a moment, I thought I went to the wrong building, or time went backwards. I thought it was Qi Xian.Because this is the living room on the second floor, few people come up.

She raised her head slightly, she was facing a painting on the wall, it was the one in the wedding photo of me and Huo Hanchuan, it was me in the wedding photo, so the time didn't go back.

When she heard the movement, she turned her head and looked at me for a while before saying: "I went to the wrong place, my sister." She paused and changed the subject, and said with a chuckle, "Your wedding photos are very good."

I recognized it, this is Huo Hanchuan's sister-in-law, Qi Xian's younger sister, she studied abroad and rarely came back, this time because Huo Hanchuan's birthday is on holiday, so this time she came here with her younger brother Qi Kai .

I put Huo Baize down and told him to pee, Huo Baize couldn't care about anything else right now, and went straight to the bathroom in his room.

I stood in this corridor with her in silence for a while, and I took a look at her face. She not only looked like her sister from the back, but also looked quite similar from the front, so I asked her: "Are you Huo Baize's aunt?"

She smiled and nodded: "You recognized it, yes, I am. My name is Qi Lan, you,"

She also looked at me and smiled at me: "You look better than on TV, and you look better than in your wedding photos."

Being a star is based on this face, and I smiled at her: "Thank you. You are also very good-looking." Praising people requires reciprocity, but because I don't know her well, the compliment paused for a while, which seemed a bit Reluctantly, in fact, she is very good-looking, the kind of white-collar beauty with outstanding temperament, very similar to her sister.

She smiled because of my words, looked around the painting on the wall again, and said to me: "Ozawa doesn't know me anymore. It has been three years since my sister passed away. I haven't been here for three years. The last time I came was She is sick, I came to see her...my sister is a very strong person, she has always been the pillar of our family, rarely gets sick, I thought she would wait for me to return to China..."

She couldn't go on, her voice was a little choked up.A person cannot be resurrected after death.I didn't know what to say, but fortunately she adjusted quickly and smiled apologetically at me: "I always thought of her when I was abroad, so I'm very sorry to come here."

I smiled at her: "It's okay." I probably guessed that the place in the entrance might have been a photo of her sister before, but it's a pity that it's mine now.There are no photos of her sister in the Huo family now.

Seeing things and thinking about people, things are right and people are wrong, no, everything is gone, it makes people sad.

At this time, Huo Baize came out after peeing. He didn't seem to know his little aunt very well. The child's cognition might be limited to the people around him, so he asked her, "Who are you?"

Qi Lan walked towards him and bent down in front of him: "Xiao Ze, I am your aunt."

Huo Baize tilted his head in doubt: "Auntie?"

Qi Lan reached out to hug him: "It's me."

Huo Baize said in a dazed way, obviously he hadn't figured it out yet.But there was a beautiful woman who was very happy to hug him, or he had a feeling that this person was very similar to his mother, so Huo Baize let her carry him downstairs.

The hall on the first floor was still very lively, and Huo Baize was still going to dance, so we went again. This time, Huo Yunlan and Qi Lan led Huo Baize to dance, and now the dance music was replaced by soft music. The gentleness of stepping.

Huo Baize took Qi Lan's hand and turned around too.Huo Yunlan reached out to me: "Brother Chen, Ozawa won't want me if he sees a beautiful woman, can you ask me to dance?"

"It's my honor to invite beautiful women to dance."

I stretched out my hand to her, it would be more natural for me to dance with beautiful women, Huo Yunlan said to me: "Brother Chen, you danced very well in "The Bright Moon at that time", at that time I thought that one day I would dance with you You dance one."

The man I played in "The Moon at That Time" was a young marshal. Before the war started, his life was an aristocratic luxury, and he could hold a dance almost every week.

Huo Yunlan continued: "Your military uniform in the play is super beautiful! Of course, your clothes tonight are also very handsome. I know it was custom-made by my elder brother, just to be like him, couple outfits, I'm jealous."

I twitched the corners of my mouth, not knowing what to say, the clothes Huo Hanchuan ordered for me and Huo Baize were very similar to his, they were parent-child outfits, maybe for the sake of looking good.

"You look good today too."

My compliments to girls were really dry, as if I didn't want to show off if I wasn't on TV, so Huo Yunlan clicked her tongue: "You can't be sincere when you hear it!"

I chatted with her without saying a word, and I finished dancing this song. When I remembered the next song, a handsome guy came to ask Huo Yunlan to dance, and I gave her hand to the handsome guy.

Just as I was about to leave the stage, someone stood in front of me. This is a foreign beauty with blond hair, light blue eyes, and a particularly good figure, with protruding front and back, and wearing a low-cut evening dress tonight. The dress, I took one look and moved my eyes up, couldn't look straight.

The beauty looked straight at me and said, "Mr. Xiao, I want to ask you to dance."

I always stay away from beautiful women, so I didn’t talk to her for a while. She thought I couldn’t understand her English, so she changed to Chinese this time, and the Chinese is quite fluent. She smiled and said: “Mr. Xiao dances very well. , can I have this honor?"

Huo Yunlan smiled at me when a blond beauty was invited to dance, and I stretched out my hand to the foreign beauty: "It's a great honor."

The foreign beauty is tall, but fortunately I am also tall, so it is not against her to dance, and it is even more comfortable than Huo Hanchuan.She dances well and has a hot body, so she becomes the center of attention in no time.

I also followed her, and the people around gradually gave way to her and me, and I could hear the voices of the people around me, including Zhao Silin, who said jokingly: "This is still a good-looking couple, handsome man Beauty, Mr. Huo, you have to take good care of people."

Huo Hanchuan didn't speak, or the voice was so low that I didn't hear it. After the song finished, I let go of the blonde beauty's hand, and bowed to her. It was considered over, and I didn't dance to the next song. up.

Huo Hanchuan was talking to a few of his friends over there, and beckoned to me, so I sat down and Huo Hanchuan introduced me, but these are all his friends, I don’t know them well, simple After chatting for a few words, they talked about other things later. This is a family gathering, so there is no need to talk about high school topics. They are all talking about interesting things from their school days. It's okay if I can't get in the conversation.

The dinner ended at 9 o'clock, which was relatively early. Huo Hanchuan said that he had a son, and he had to follow his son's time.

He knows his son very well, if he doesn't let the dance stop, Huo Baize will be so excited that he won't be able to sleep tonight.

I followed Huo Hanchuan and Yu Bo to send all the guests away, and Huo Yunlan called Qi Lan to leave together.Huo Baize had been familiar with her all night, and waved to her: "Goodbye, auntie!"

Before leaving, Qi Lan hugged him again: "Goodbye Xiaoze, I will come to see you later." She also bid farewell to me and Huo Hanchuan: "Mr. Xiao, brother-in-law, thank you for your hospitality, goodbye, I will come to see you after graduation Ozawa." Huo Hanchuan smiled at her: "It's important to be busy with studies, Ozawa is fine, don't worry."

After all the guests left, I went to my study. I finished washing, but there was still one thing I didn't do.

I sit silently looking at my box on the rug, I haven't given this gift yet.It will be 12 o'clock in two hours.

The last time I celebrated my birthday was in time for my recording program, a TV drama festival, but it didn't pass. It was still too late for Huo Hanchuan to send me a watch. If I was too late, it would be too embarrassing.

I stared at the ups and downs of the film on the computer, this film is exciting, so I sat and did not get up.

Huo Hanchuan is in the study at this time, if I bring a gift to him, then I need to tell him to go to bed early, then I will really be like Su Daji who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

So I sat without moving. The movie I watched was sent to me by Wen Jing, the "Three Colors" that won the Grand Slam award.

Just when I saw all my attention, Huo Hanchuan pushed open the door and came in. Seeing that I was there, he also paused: "You are here, but you didn't answer when I knocked on the door."

That's because I'm wearing headphones and I'm so absorbed in the film that anyone watching porn won't be distracted.

I took off the earphones, Huo Hanchuan had already walked over, and he saw what I was looking at.

He watched the two people tumbling in difficult poses on the screen and didn't move for a while.
