After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular
Chapter 21
The Huo family's villa was brightly lit, and there were clouds of luxury cars on the parking lot in front of the door.
Even the butler, Uncle Li, changed into formal attire, and was waiting in front of the door with a smile on his face to greet the distinguished guests who came to the banquet.
Seeing Huo Yu stop the car, Xia Wan smiled and turned to him: "Young Master, show yourself?"
Huo Yu glanced at him indifferently, but in the end he didn't say anything. He jumped out of the car, went around to the other side and opened the door, and extended his hand to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan cheerfully placed her hand on that Yubai Yunting's hand, and then jumped into Huo Yu's arms without warning.
Huo Yu was caught off guard, and was knocked back a step, he quickly helped his waist with one hand and pressed him into his arms.
The touch under his hand was soft and warm, and his neck was filled with the warm and humid breath of Xia Wan. As he broke free from his arms, Huo Yu felt a sudden chill all over his body.
"Young Master," Xia Wan approached him with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?"
Huo Yu glanced sideways at him, paused for a moment before shaking his hand, and complimented him indistinctly: "Not bad."
"Young Master." Seeing Huo Yu, Uncle Li took two steps back with lingering fear.
Seeing Xia Wan who was beside Huo Yu, his expression became even more ugly.
Why is this vixen here?
Master and Madam clearly said that he would not come?
Then tonight...
Uncle Li hesitated slightly, and the smile that had been frozen all night also became stiff.
"Looks like that kick was lighter last time?" Huo Yu couldn't help sneering at his unsteady look.
Uncle Li swallowed quickly, lowered his head, and respectfully addressed Xia Wan: "Master Xia."
Xia Wan is approachable, he waved his hand slightly, and smiled very gently: "Do your work."
When the two of them were far away, Uncle Li raised his head. Looking at the tightly clasped hands, he couldn't help frowning.
Does this person surnamed Xia really regard himself as the master?
The Xia family's courtyard is very large, and it takes about fifteen minutes from the entrance to the annex building where the banquet will be held. Before the people approached, the sound of greetings and laughter came faintly with the night wind.
The fountain in the courtyard was dyed into a dynamic rainbow by colorful lights, and the lights on the open-air dance floor and venue flickered, covering the stars in the sky.
"The yard of your uncle's house is really not small." Xia Wan looked sideways at the fountain and stopped in her tracks.
The cold water mist covered his face like a veil, Huo Yu raised his hand and stretched towards the center of the fountain, a stream of spring water hit his fingertips, and immediately splashed into colorful flowers.
Xia Wan thought it was fun, and tentatively stretched out a finger.
The force of the fountain is very strong, and there is a numb and crisp feeling on the hand, and then the colorful flowers bloom at the fingertips one by one.
He laughed, his eyebrows stretched in the night, more eye-catching than the bright moon in the sky.
"This house is indeed very big," Huo Yu said in a low voice, looking down at the constantly changing flower on his fingertips, "When my father built it, it included the residences of my uncle and grandpa. .”
Xia Wan turned her head in surprise, she didn't expect that this house was actually built by Huo Yu's father.
But now, Huo Pei Xuejiu has taken over the magpie's nest.
"However, his old man is not blessed." Huo Yu smiled lightly, "They left before the house was built and lived in."
Xia Wan was silent for a moment, then pulled Huo Yu's hand from the fountain, took out a tissue, and gently wiped off the water marks on that hand.
"Does the young master still want to take it back?" He looked into Huo Yu's eyes and asked.
Huo Yu lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as cold as a lake, and after looking at him for a long time, it made people feel too indifferent and unfathomable.
Xia Wan shook his hand: "Let's go in."
"Yes." Huo Yu said suddenly.
Xia Wan raised her eyes and heard Huo Yu whisper: "I will take back everything from my parents."
"The young master is so powerful," Xia Wan laughed, her brows and eyes curved, "I can definitely do it."
For so many years in foreign countries, Huo Yu worked desperately to accumulate capital for himself, hiding his strength in the dark, like a bloodthirsty wolf, secretly waiting for an opportunity.
No one dares to be optimistic about him easily, and no one dares to stand with him casually.
But Xia Wan said lightly: "Young Master is so powerful, you can definitely do it."
It was as if something had gently scratched the tip of my heart, very gentle but invincible.
Huo Yu unconsciously tightened Xia Wan's hand: "Let's go."
The ancillary building was brightly lit, and the clothes were fragrant, and the noise spread around Huo Lin.
Huo Lin stood in the middle of the crowd, receiving congratulations from everyone, looking energetic and personable.
Huo Peixue and Li Yun stood beside him with smiles on their faces, chatting and whispering to the surrounding guests.
When the noise suddenly subsided, Huo Lin was a little dazed. He followed the eyes of others and saw Huo Yu and Xia Wan clasping their fingers together.
The two of them wore clothes of the same color, one was cool and handsome, the other was beautiful and gentle, just standing there side by side was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Huo Lin's eyes fixed on Xia Wan's gentle smiling eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and finally slid down to their tightly intertwined fingers.
The fingers holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, and the spirited hair in his eyes was stained with a ray of gloom.
The congratulations around gradually turned into whispers.
Even if he couldn't hear what other people were discussing, Huo Lin could still feel the playful eyes that swept over him.
He clearly knew that almost everyone present had heard about him cheating on Xia Wan and humiliating her at the engagement scene.
To be honest, if this incident didn't happen to him, maybe he would also feel that it was worthless.
And Xia Wan's appearance at this moment was like whipping his corpse in public at the highlight moment of his life.
His face was ugly, his brain was blank, but his hearing became more acute.
"Is this the kid who turned those two brothers against each other?" Someone who had never seen Xia Wan asked quietly.
"Yes."
"Why doesn't it look like someone from a low-level family?"
"Indeed, there is probably no one among us who can match this appearance and temperament."
"If it's not so outstanding, can the two brothers be fascinated?" Someone laughed.
"..."
Huo Lin never took his eyes off Xia Wan.
If he had noticed the change in Xia Wan on the night of the engagement banquet, then at this moment, that change became more distinct and more direct.
Standing on such an occasion, Xia Wan not only did not have the timidity of the past, but was confident and calm, and the way she greeted people was even more elegant and decent.
It seemed that he didn't notice the peeping eyes and whispering expressions of others.
It's not like a child from a small family who has never seen the world, but like a noble son who grew up in a wealthy family since childhood.
Huo Lin clenched his fist, not sure what the problem was?
He hated Xia Wan, but that hatred seemed to turn into a cluster of flames, burning his heart with scalding heat, making it even more difficult for him to take his eyes off Xia Wan.
Seeing them approaching step by step, Huo Lin gritted his teeth, straightened his face, and raised his head.
Huo Peixue, who was beside him, didn't look too good-looking, and Li Yun was even worse.
She was not well-educated in the first place, and she had acted arbitrarily all these years. At this moment, her face was so gloomy that she could almost squeeze out water.
After a while, she cast her eyes on Xia Yang who had finally had the opportunity to attend the banquet because of his meritorious deeds. Xia Yang's hands trembled from that gaze, and he didn't bother to wipe off the wine that spilled all over his chest.
Hold!Why is Xia Wan here?
Didn't he go to the concert?
this fucking...
He finally got some corners and corners of Huo's house, is it going to be ruined again?
What a fucking disaster.
He looked at Xia Wan angrily, but Xia Wan smiled, as pleasant as the spring breeze outside the window, but he didn't even give him a glance.
For a while, Xia Yang didn't even have the thought of befriending the powerful. He felt restless, like being roasted on a coal fire.
"Uncle, aunt." Huo Yu took Xia Wan's hand and walked in front of Huo Lin's family of three, said politely, and handed the gift box in his hand to Huo Lin, "Congratulations."
Huo Lin took the gift box in his hand stiffly, without saying a word.
Li Yun glanced around and lowered his voice extremely low: "You really don't even want your face."
Even though she was holding back, the disgust on her face couldn't be concealed.
"Uncles and aunts naturally want face." Huo Yu smiled casually, "Otherwise, how could you take the trouble to do so many shows?"
His voice was neither high nor low, and people around him had already smiled meaningfully upon hearing this.
"Huo Yu," Huo Peixue said coldly, "Pay attention to your image!"
"What image do I have?" Huo Yu looked sideways lightly, "Isn't uncle the clearest?"
"I don't think you're here to celebrate for me," Huo Lin insisted, "You're here to make trouble because you think I'm better than you?"
Huo Yu looked at him inexplicably, making Huo Lin feel guilty.
He didn't know if Huo Yu was capable or not, even if he was capable, the Huo family never gave him a chance, and the Huo family knew about it.
"Really?" It wasn't until Huo Lin unconsciously avoided his eyes that Huo Yu said lazily, "I came to congratulate you out of kindness, didn't my aunt scold me first?"
Li Yun: ...
If it weren't for so many people watching, she really wanted to smash the wine glass severely.
"Stop making trouble," Huo Peixue said in a low voice, "Do you still think that others haven't seen enough jokes?"
He gave Xia Wan a dark look, as long as this person is in the circle for a day, their Huo family will be a joke in the eyes of others.
It's a good thing he was prepared, otherwise today's game would be a fucking embarrassment and thrown at grandma's house.
The corners of Huo Yu's lips curved slightly imperceptibly, as if he had become the polite Huo Yu just now: "Uncle is busy, I'll take Wanwan to eat something."
Huo Peixue snorted sullenly and didn't speak again.
"Let's go." Huo Yu let go of Xia Wan's hand, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked towards the bar to protect him.
As soon as the two groups separated, some people came over to say hello immediately.
"Huo Yu, when did you come back?" A young man held a wine glass, but unconsciously glanced at Xia Wan.
"I just came back not long ago." Huo Yu hugged Xia Wan in his arms and responded lightly.
"Say it early, my buddy will catch up with you." The young man said.
"Next time I'll organize a game and get together," Huo Yu said.
Huo Yu's identity is sensitive. These people have a good relationship with Huo Lin, so naturally they are not much better than Huo Yu. The so-called next time means there is no next time.
"Okay." The man raised his glass and said boldly.
"Young Master Huo," before he took two steps, someone greeted him again, "When are you going to play? Ever since you disappeared from the racing track, to be honest, there is no meaning at all."
"There will be a chance in the future." Huo Yu smiled slightly.
"You can still race cars?" Xia Wan was a little surprised.
"Played when I was young." Huo Yu said, "Then there was an accident, and then I went abroad."
The two of them reached the bar while talking. Xia Wan picked out a small cake, and he picked it up with a fork. He didn't eat it himself, but held it to Huo Yu's lips.
"Try it, young master, this is delicious."
Huo Yu lowered his head and took a sip very lightly, the sweet smell of cream immediately overflowed in his mouth gradually, a bit like the taste of a summer evening.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Wan asked expectantly.
"Delicious." Huo Yu smiled.
"May I get a piece for you?" Xia Wan asked, when he spoke with his face up, there was always a hint of being a good boy.
Huo Yu smiled and said, "No need for now."
"Oh." Xia Wan said, picking out a little cake and putting it in his mouth.
The rosy lips were stained with a little creamy white, which reminded Huo Yu of sweet cherries or strawberries.
What's more, Xia Wan didn't change the fork at all, but directly put the fork he just used into his mouth.
Huo Yu unconsciously looked away, feeling a faint heat in his mouth for no reason.
There are various drinks on the bar counter, and the bartender is coolly shaking the sifter in his hand.
Xia Wan thought it was interesting, so she sat on the stool and ate the cake while watching it with her chin.
He has never drank alcohol, and he has only seen descriptions of alcohol in books. It is a mysterious and charming liquid.
In the past, his grandfather and elder brother liked to have a drink or two when they had nothing to do, and they seemed to really enjoy it.
Xia Wan was a little curious and couldn't help biting her lip.
The liquid in the sieve drum is poured into a conical glass wine glass, which is bright red under the light, and the bartender put a lemon and a few mint leaves on the wall of the glass, making it even more beautiful
"Would you like to try it?" the bartender smiled and pushed the wine towards the summer evening, "Love in Hawaii is very suitable for you."
"Thank you." Xia Wan rolled her eyes and reached out to pick it up.
NF
But Huo Yu was one step faster than him, he pushed the glass of wine back: "Sorry, please give him another glass of orange juice."
"Hey," the two found an empty seat and sat down. Xia Wan looked at the whiskey in Huo Yu's hand, and couldn't help being a little angry, "Why can you drink it and I can't? I'm already an adult."
"You talk so much," Huo Yu looked at him with a smile, everyone's eyes are full of affection, but what you say is so irritating, "If you drink too much, it's easy to reveal your secrets."
"Hmph." Xia Wan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Angry?" Huo Yu asked.
"Too lazy to be angry with you," Xia Wan raised the orange juice in her glass, "Orange juice is delicious anyway."
They were talking, and a few more people came in at the door.
Xia Wan raised her eyes and looked over, coincidentally, she met Qiu Qi's eyes.
Qiu Qi glanced at Xia Wan in disgust, then looked away with disdain.
"Young Master," Xia Wan leaned closer to Huo Yu, "Should we still sit there?"
When he came in just now, he noticed that Huo Yu's name tag was on the first table.
Apart from the Huo family, there were Qiu family, Zhou family and Xue family on the table, but his name was not there.
That's right, the Huo family thought he wouldn't be there, so why did they prepare his name tag?
Huo Yu paused for a moment without speaking.
Before today, he might not have thought about it that much at all, but now, facing Xia Wan's clean and smiling eyes, he suddenly didn't want to drag him into such a muddy pond.
"Little sister-in-law, Huo Yu." After the entertainment, Shen Yan approached with a wine glass.
"You drank a lot before the show started?" Huo Yu looked at him and asked.
Shen Yan usually likes to play, he is out of shape, everyone loves to feed him.
"Can this be my fault?" Shen Yan put his hand on the back of the seat, raised his hand to loosen his tie, "If Sun Baijiang hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to get out right now."
When Xia Wan heard the words, she turned her head and looked to the other side. Sure enough, there were quite a few people gathered not far away, among whom was Sun Baijiang.
Xia Wan leaned close to Huo Yu's ear, her lips almost stuck to his earlobe, and her tone was unavoidably gloating: "It's so lively today."
"I'm busy, can you run?" Huo Yu gave him a lukewarm look.
Xia Wan took a sip of the orange juice with a smile, and was suddenly seen by Shen Yan.
"Who is so short-sighted to give my sister-in-law orange juice." Shen Yan was angrily, "Who do you look down on?"
Xia Wan almost spit out a mouthful of orange juice, and couldn't help but tilt her head to cough and laugh.
Shen Yan was inexplicable, until he met Huo Yu's cool gaze, he suddenly reacted.
"It's not wrong for little sister-in-law to drink orange juice," Shen Yan suppressed a smile, "It's only been two years since I came of age, so I should."
"It's really lively here." Sun Baijiang moved over at some point, and sat down next to Shen Yan.
Seeing that Huo Yu was holding a tissue to wipe Xia Wan's eyelashes wet from laughing, he silently handed over a glass of white water.
"Thank you." Xia Wan took it over and smiled at him.
The child was really good-looking and well-behaved, Sun Baijiang couldn't help thinking, no wonder Huo Yu held it in his hands so painfully and protected him.
He didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he instinctively smiled back at Xia Wan.
"I saw Uncle Sun just now, didn't you go over and talk to him?" Shen Yan asked suddenly.
Sun Baijiang shook his head, and said after a while: "No."
Shen Yan didn't make another sound, but Huo Yu, who had been unresponsive since he came here, raised his eyelids.
Sun Baijiang hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
He looked at the position of the first table and said softly, "I heard that Uncle Huo specially flew to France a few days ago to meet that Zhou Ke, and arranged him at the first table today, probably because of some deep meaning."
Xia Wan doesn't hate Sun Baijiang, and even thinks that Sun Baijiang should be a very gentle person.
After all, he can even say words like "bad intentions" into "has no deep meaning," he should be a person who is willing to leave room for others.
Unlike Huo Yu, who is so isolated.
"What do you mean?" Shen Yan asked.
"I heard," Sun Baijiang still started with this word, "Uncle Sun went to talk to the Zhou family about the marriage. It seems to be that Zhou Ke's son Zhou Wen."
Huo Lin was already engaged, so Huo Yu was the only one in the Huo family to talk about marriage.
Hearing this, Huo Yu, who had been holding Xia Wan's hand as a toy with his eyes downcast, finally raised his thick and long eyelashes.
Huo Peixue wanted to get married for him, but he was not even told as the party concerned.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a sharp and mocking smile.
Compared to Huo Yu's reaction, Xia Wan felt that the direction of the plot was normal.
In the original book, Huo Yu was arranged for marriage by Huo Peixue.
The book did not detail the details of the marriage, whether Huo Yu had resisted, or even who the specific marriage partner of Huo Yu was, only saying that it was far inferior to the Qiu family.
Although many things have not been explained, but from the description of some details and the dialogue between the protagonists, Xia Wan can also judge that Huo Yu and his marriage partner are not doing well.
Even, his marriage partner was very likely to be on the side of the so-called "justice" and betrayed Huo Yu.
Sun Baijiang also said just now that the other party lives in France, which is where Huo Yu has been living before.
What Huo Peixue meant was that he still wanted to get Huo Yu out of the country.
It was expected that he would do so. Once Yan Rui took office, it would be almost impossible for them to control Huo Yu's development through policy manipulation.
Get people out, once and for all.
Xia Wan quietly glanced at the first table, and indeed there was a very handsome boy looking over here secretly, he guessed that it should be the Zhou Wen that Sun Baijiang was talking about.
Maybe this Zhou family was the one that Huo Yu married in his previous life?
Not sure about summer night.
But what is certain is that even after the marriage, Huo Yu never went abroad again.
How did he live at that time, was it very tormented? The author never described a sentence from his perspective.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help feeling sorry for Huo Yu.
He was robbed of everything, calculated by others, and locked in that dark, hopeless book with a predestined ending. How desperate should he be?
"Huo Yu," he quietly squeezed Huo Yu's palm, and said softly, "I'll be with you."
Xia Wan's fingertips were soft, her tone of voice was gentle, and her eyes were soft and firm when she looked up at him. Everything was soft, but somehow it gave Huo Yu great strength.
Huo Yu looked down at him for a moment, and couldn't help tightening his fingers, even the slightly cold and hard line of the jaw line softened a lot.
Looking at each other, they all understood why the Huo family asked Zhao Chengfang and Xia Yang to find out about Xia Wan.
It's not just because the arrival of Xia Wan will make them lose face and become a laughing stock.
But if they want to marry Huo Yu, they will definitely not be able to let Xia Wan be there.
Since Sun Baijiang knew that Huo Peixue's contact with the Zhou family was for Huo Yu's marriage, then the Huo family had already communicated with the Zhou family.
And if I also come with Huo Yu...
Wouldn't that be the scene of a social death?
At this moment, Xia Wan could even be sure that if he didn't show interest in the concert, they might do something artificially to prevent him from coming.
After sorting out the key points, Xia Wan couldn't help sighing, today's scene is so fucking exciting.
He couldn't even imagine how embarrassing it would be for this wave of people with different plans to gather together later.
Just thinking about it makes him want to dig his toes.
Huo Peixue is really good, even after this, he can still keep his face steady.
He snuggled in Huo Yu's direction, raised his face, and said close to Huo Yu's ear, "I'm about to sympathize with Huo Peixue."
Huo Yu didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little calmly.
"Damn it!" Shen Yan burst into a foul language, "This surprise came too suddenly."
Huo Yu's marriage has not been announced yet, and he did not mention it in front of Sun Baijiang.
But obviously, he also thought of the situation where everyone would get together later, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"That Zhou Wen said that you are his senior." Sun Baijiang told all the news he got, "Have you met before?"
Huo Yu glanced over coldly, and happened to meet Zhou Wen's gaze.
Peeking at the caught bag, Sun Wen looked away in panic.
"I don't remember." Huo Yu said, his voice still cold.
But even so, Sun Baijiang's brows and eyes were still tinged with joy, as if as long as Huo Yu was willing to talk to him, it would be enough surprise for him.
"If you need it later," he turned the water glass in his palm, "I can help you take care of Xia Wan."
"Sun Baijiang." Huo Yu suddenly raised his eyes and called his name coldly.
Sun Baijiang was stunned.
"You're not tired of stabbing a few sweet dates for the last time, so am I," Huo Yu said flatly, "You know, I can't trust you, don't do anything for me, do I have to beg you? "
Sun Baijiang held his cup tightly, his pale face full of confusion.
"As for Xia Wan," Huo Yu continued, "Even if I throw him out and let him fend for himself, it's impossible for you to 'take care'. As for why, you know better than anyone else, don't you?"
Sun Baijiang's knuckles holding the wine glass gradually turned white, and he lowered his eyes when he heard this.
It is so lonely that people feel very heavy.
"I'll take care of my sister-in-law later." Shen Yan hurriedly smoothed things over, and said to Sun Baijiang, "It's rare for you to come out once to have fun with yourself."
"Thank you," Xia Wan put down the water glass, "I'll follow Huo Yu later, with him around, I'm not afraid of anything."
As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Yu: "Right?"
Huo Yu nodded and shook his hand: "Come on, let's go over there and say hello."
Xia Wan followed Huo Yu's gaze, and saw a very attractive middle-aged couple just entered the door.
The identities of this couple should be very unusual, because Huo Peixue greeted them personally.
"Mr. Xue, Mr. Wen, the presence of the two masters really makes the humble house shine."
As soon as Huo Peixue made a sound, everyone else stood up, including Shen Yan and Sun Baijiang.
"Who is this?" Xia Wan didn't know each other, but the two people on the opposite side were really good looking. The woman looked gentle and kind, while the man was handsome and gentle. They only seemed to make people feel comfortable.
"Xue Chong, the person in charge of the Xue family, and his wife Wen Yunzhi." Huo Yu said in a low voice.
"Xue family?" Xia Wan repeated it very softly, and then remembered the huge X building sign, which was exactly the same as the sign of their house in reality.
It turns out that here, they are the masters there.
Xia Wan was a little distracted, perhaps because of this fate, he felt more affectionate to the couple.
"If Mr. Huo's house is a humble house, then what are we?" Wen Yunzhi said with a smile.
She speaks softly and is approachable in her speech, responding very easily to those who came to say hello.
"It's a joke, it's a joke." Huo Peixue hurriedly humbled himself, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
The business of Huo's family is not as good as that of Xue's, but this house is unique.
Back then, Huo Peifeng took advantage of the convenience of real estate to take this piece of land, but after the policy changed, it was no longer possible to get such a piece of land again.
He personally let Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi take the upper seat, and asked: "Wen Xuan, the kid didn't come?"
"There's something wrong with the company, he's going to deal with it." Xue Chong replied with a smile.
"It's still capable of Wenxuan," Huo Peixue praised, and then pointed to Huo Lin, "We are far behind."
"Isn't Huo Lin promising this time?" Wen Yunzhi said with a smile, "Give the child more opportunities to exercise, and it will be fine."
The banquet officially started. Before taking a seat, Xia Yang moved to Xia Wan's side while Huo Yu was chatting with others.
"Wan Wan," he touched Xia Wan, "Don't go to the main table, there is no place for you there, you sit with me."
Xia Wan looked at him with a smile, the more innocent he smiled, the more Xia Yang wanted to crush him to death.
"I just heard that the child of Mr. Wen's family didn't come?" Xia Wan said with a smile, "I'll take his seat."
You deserve it too!Xia Yang cursed secretly.
But he was also afraid of Huo Yu, so he had to hold back: "Even if there is a seat, someone else will take it. You don't know how many people are waiting to curry favor with the Xue family. How can it be your turn?"
"Why isn't it his turn?" Suddenly, Huo Yu interrupted him.
"My brother said that there is no place for me over there, so let me sit with him." Xia Wan said.
"Who said there is no place for you?" Huo Yu said, his eyes glanced coldly at Xia Yang.
"Brother, go quickly." Xia Wan said to Xia Yang, "Even if there is really no place, I can sit on Huo Yu's lap."
Xia Yang: ...
Huo Yu: ..., you are quite wild.
When Xia Wan took her seat, she clearly felt that Huo Peixue's face was extremely ugly, especially Li Yun and Qiu Qi.
Of course, the expressions of Zhou's father and son on the opposite side were not much better.
"Hello Uncle, Hello Auntie." Xia Wan smiled sweetly, her eyes were bright, her smile was clean and pure, which made Wen Yunzhi laugh.
As they got closer, Xia Wan realized that Wen Yunzhi was very thin.
"What uncle and aunt?" Huo Yu rubbed the top of his hair with a smile, "This is Xue's chairman, and this is Mr. Wen."
Xia Wan was about to call her again, but Wen Yunzhi said first: "Are you Tangtang's roommate?"
"Yeah." Xia Wan was startled, "Do you know Su Tang?"
"I'm his aunt." Wen Yunzhi said with a smile.
Xia Wan was a little surprised.
Su Tang often mentioned his aunt, but Xia Wan always thought that his aunt was an ordinary businessman, but she didn't expect to have such a big background.
Seeing him in a daze, Wen Yunzhi moved closer to him, and whispered: "I watched your live broadcast recently. It's a great honor to watch it in person today."
Xia Wan pursed her lips, and her cheeks gradually became hot: "You like to watch these too?"
"Watch the meal while eating." Wen Yunzhi smiled softly, "But I'm short on time, so I usually watch the replays. If I watch the scene, I will definitely reward you."
Xia Wan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, thank you, Auntie."
He thought for a while, and finally did not call Mr. Wen, but followed Su Tang to call Auntie.
Wen Yunzhi likes Xia Wan very much, but she can't explain why.
From the time she saw Xia Wan's profile outside the school gate, she felt that this child was very kind.
At that time, she thought she might have seen it before, but after thinking about it, she hadn't.
She went to school to pick up Su Tang, or to see Su Tang, mostly at the school gate or on campus, and never went to Su Tang's dormitory.
Su Tang never brought anyone down to meet her.
Later, Su Tang let her watch the child's live broadcast.
Since the child was lost, her health has not been very good, and her appetite is even more problematic.
But she doesn't think eating and broadcasting can solve her problems.
Because before Xia Wan, she had also watched a lot of eating broadcasts, most of which were delicious for the sake of eating, and she found it boring.
I thought it was the same in Xia Wan, but later she couldn't stand Su Tang's nagging, she clicked on and watched an episode, only to find that this kid eats deliciously, smiles so sweetly, and eating is just eating, and there is less nonsense. Everything suits her.
That time, when she watched the replay of Xia Wan's live broadcast, she didn't realize that she ate half a bowl of rice, which surprised Su Tang very much.
Wen Yunzhi and Xia Wan were talking, and some other thoughts could not help but pop up in their hearts.
She believes in fate, and always feels that her fate with Xia Wan is amazing, because no one has ever made her feel this familiar and compatible.
When she faced Xia Wan, just like facing Su Tang, she couldn't help being a little bit overwhelmed with maternal love.
When Xia Wan approached her to talk, she habitually looked at Xia Wan's left wrist.
Her child had a small birthmark on his left wrist.
Xia Wan's hands are beautiful, thin and white, with pink nails, but the cuffs are too long, covering the wrists.
"Cough." Huo Peixue coughed lightly, interrupting Wen Yunzhi's conversation with Xia Wan.
He introduced to Huo Yu seriously, "Yu'er, this Mr. Zhou also lives in Paris, I wonder if you have met him before."
Huo Yu nodded lightly to Zhou Ke and said, "I haven't seen it before."
"Although you haven't met me, I know you," Zhou Ke said with a smile, "Zhou Wen graduated from the same school as you."
"That's right," Zhou Wen's eyes brightened, "I noticed the senior a long time ago, and I occasionally meet the senior in school. Everyone admires you."
"Really?" Huo Yu looked away, paused for a moment in Zhou Wen's nervous expression, then shook his head, and said softly, "I don't remember."
Zhou Wen's fair cheeks were flushed, and he smiled: "The senior is so good, it's normal not to remember me."
"It's okay if you don't remember." Huo Peixue made a relief, "Didn't we meet today?"
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Xue," Huo Peixue turned to Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi, "Your Xue family's markets are all over the world. What do you think of France in the past two years?"
"France is pretty stable," Xue Chong said, "Boss Huo is going to build the house in France?"
"That's not true." Huo Peixue hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, "At present, I just have an idea and want to open a branch in France. I don't want to invite you, Mr. Wen, and Mr. Zhou to come here together and listen to the experience of those who have come here. .”
"What type?" Wen Yunzhi asked.
"Jewelry." Huo Peixue said, observing Huo Yu's reaction calmly, "It's a pity that Yan Yu didn't fall into my hands like this."
Back then, Huo Peifeng founded Huo's, which was mainly engaged in real estate, while Yanwei was obsessed with jewelry design and founded "Yanyu". Before Huo Peifeng and Yanwei's accident, "Yanyu" was actually quite famous.
But later, when Huo Peifeng had an accident, it happened to be the most prosperous time for real estate, and it can be said that it was making money every day.
Huo Peixue was eager for quick success, so he devoted most of his energy to Huo's real estate development projects, while Yanyu's designers left one after another due to poor management, and slowly disappeared with Yanwei.
Although this brand still exists, it is still handed over to Huo Lin and Huo Lin's uncle Li Sheng to take care of it, which is better than nothing.
Others don't know, but Huo Peixue knows that Huo Yu will never really have no idea about what Huo Peifeng and Yanwei left behind.
Even when he studied art abroad these years, it was only as a last resort.
There is only one way to make Huo Yu never show up - to suppress him.
Now, he has paid to set up a branch abroad. In the eyes of outsiders, he is taking care of the younger generation and giving Huo Yu a chance.
If he had the chance to get back his mother's things, even if it was an empty shell, he believed that Huo Yu would never give up this opportunity.
It not only solves the problem, but also earns a reputation for yourself, why not do it?
And marrying the Zhou family can completely keep Huo Yu abroad.
Zhou's father and son also knew that Huo Yu was raising a child like Xia Wan.
Before contacting Zhou Ke and his son, Huo Peixue had sent someone to check their details. Although the Zhou family was engaged in investment business, it had not been as good as it used to be these years, and only small troubles were left, which could not be of any help to Huo Yu. beneficial.
The most important thing is that Zhou Wen has been secretly in love with Huo Yu for a long time. Even if he knew that someone like Xia Wan existed, he would definitely not be willing to give up the opportunity to combine with Huo Yu.
That's why he told the whole story about Xia Wan openly and honestly.
Sure enough, Zhou's father and son also believed that with Xia Wan's background, Huo Yu and him could not last long, and they would score sooner or later.
Zhou Ke still cared a little bit, but Zhou Wen and Huo Peixue thought the same thing, and when he thought of Huo Yu, he lost all judgment.
In the end, the father and son traveled across the ocean to come to the banquet.
Huo Peixue secretly applauded the danger, but also couldn't help secretly admiring his courage.
If it were someone else, they might have kept Xia Wan's affairs a secret, so Zhou Ke would never tolerate Xia Wan's presence today.
And the move he made, although it seemed extremely dangerous, was actually extremely stable.
As long as Huo Yu is willing to marry the Zhou family today for his mother's hard work, then
Even the butler, Uncle Li, changed into formal attire, and was waiting in front of the door with a smile on his face to greet the distinguished guests who came to the banquet.
Seeing Huo Yu stop the car, Xia Wan smiled and turned to him: "Young Master, show yourself?"
Huo Yu glanced at him indifferently, but in the end he didn't say anything. He jumped out of the car, went around to the other side and opened the door, and extended his hand to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan cheerfully placed her hand on that Yubai Yunting's hand, and then jumped into Huo Yu's arms without warning.
Huo Yu was caught off guard, and was knocked back a step, he quickly helped his waist with one hand and pressed him into his arms.
The touch under his hand was soft and warm, and his neck was filled with the warm and humid breath of Xia Wan. As he broke free from his arms, Huo Yu felt a sudden chill all over his body.
"Young Master," Xia Wan approached him with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?"
Huo Yu glanced sideways at him, paused for a moment before shaking his hand, and complimented him indistinctly: "Not bad."
"Young Master." Seeing Huo Yu, Uncle Li took two steps back with lingering fear.
Seeing Xia Wan who was beside Huo Yu, his expression became even more ugly.
Why is this vixen here?
Master and Madam clearly said that he would not come?
Then tonight...
Uncle Li hesitated slightly, and the smile that had been frozen all night also became stiff.
"Looks like that kick was lighter last time?" Huo Yu couldn't help sneering at his unsteady look.
Uncle Li swallowed quickly, lowered his head, and respectfully addressed Xia Wan: "Master Xia."
Xia Wan is approachable, he waved his hand slightly, and smiled very gently: "Do your work."
When the two of them were far away, Uncle Li raised his head. Looking at the tightly clasped hands, he couldn't help frowning.
Does this person surnamed Xia really regard himself as the master?
The Xia family's courtyard is very large, and it takes about fifteen minutes from the entrance to the annex building where the banquet will be held. Before the people approached, the sound of greetings and laughter came faintly with the night wind.
The fountain in the courtyard was dyed into a dynamic rainbow by colorful lights, and the lights on the open-air dance floor and venue flickered, covering the stars in the sky.
"The yard of your uncle's house is really not small." Xia Wan looked sideways at the fountain and stopped in her tracks.
The cold water mist covered his face like a veil, Huo Yu raised his hand and stretched towards the center of the fountain, a stream of spring water hit his fingertips, and immediately splashed into colorful flowers.
Xia Wan thought it was fun, and tentatively stretched out a finger.
The force of the fountain is very strong, and there is a numb and crisp feeling on the hand, and then the colorful flowers bloom at the fingertips one by one.
He laughed, his eyebrows stretched in the night, more eye-catching than the bright moon in the sky.
"This house is indeed very big," Huo Yu said in a low voice, looking down at the constantly changing flower on his fingertips, "When my father built it, it included the residences of my uncle and grandpa. .”
Xia Wan turned her head in surprise, she didn't expect that this house was actually built by Huo Yu's father.
But now, Huo Pei Xuejiu has taken over the magpie's nest.
"However, his old man is not blessed." Huo Yu smiled lightly, "They left before the house was built and lived in."
Xia Wan was silent for a moment, then pulled Huo Yu's hand from the fountain, took out a tissue, and gently wiped off the water marks on that hand.
"Does the young master still want to take it back?" He looked into Huo Yu's eyes and asked.
Huo Yu lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as cold as a lake, and after looking at him for a long time, it made people feel too indifferent and unfathomable.
Xia Wan shook his hand: "Let's go in."
"Yes." Huo Yu said suddenly.
Xia Wan raised her eyes and heard Huo Yu whisper: "I will take back everything from my parents."
"The young master is so powerful," Xia Wan laughed, her brows and eyes curved, "I can definitely do it."
For so many years in foreign countries, Huo Yu worked desperately to accumulate capital for himself, hiding his strength in the dark, like a bloodthirsty wolf, secretly waiting for an opportunity.
No one dares to be optimistic about him easily, and no one dares to stand with him casually.
But Xia Wan said lightly: "Young Master is so powerful, you can definitely do it."
It was as if something had gently scratched the tip of my heart, very gentle but invincible.
Huo Yu unconsciously tightened Xia Wan's hand: "Let's go."
The ancillary building was brightly lit, and the clothes were fragrant, and the noise spread around Huo Lin.
Huo Lin stood in the middle of the crowd, receiving congratulations from everyone, looking energetic and personable.
Huo Peixue and Li Yun stood beside him with smiles on their faces, chatting and whispering to the surrounding guests.
When the noise suddenly subsided, Huo Lin was a little dazed. He followed the eyes of others and saw Huo Yu and Xia Wan clasping their fingers together.
The two of them wore clothes of the same color, one was cool and handsome, the other was beautiful and gentle, just standing there side by side was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Huo Lin's eyes fixed on Xia Wan's gentle smiling eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and finally slid down to their tightly intertwined fingers.
The fingers holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, and the spirited hair in his eyes was stained with a ray of gloom.
The congratulations around gradually turned into whispers.
Even if he couldn't hear what other people were discussing, Huo Lin could still feel the playful eyes that swept over him.
He clearly knew that almost everyone present had heard about him cheating on Xia Wan and humiliating her at the engagement scene.
To be honest, if this incident didn't happen to him, maybe he would also feel that it was worthless.
And Xia Wan's appearance at this moment was like whipping his corpse in public at the highlight moment of his life.
His face was ugly, his brain was blank, but his hearing became more acute.
"Is this the kid who turned those two brothers against each other?" Someone who had never seen Xia Wan asked quietly.
"Yes."
"Why doesn't it look like someone from a low-level family?"
"Indeed, there is probably no one among us who can match this appearance and temperament."
"If it's not so outstanding, can the two brothers be fascinated?" Someone laughed.
"..."
Huo Lin never took his eyes off Xia Wan.
If he had noticed the change in Xia Wan on the night of the engagement banquet, then at this moment, that change became more distinct and more direct.
Standing on such an occasion, Xia Wan not only did not have the timidity of the past, but was confident and calm, and the way she greeted people was even more elegant and decent.
It seemed that he didn't notice the peeping eyes and whispering expressions of others.
It's not like a child from a small family who has never seen the world, but like a noble son who grew up in a wealthy family since childhood.
Huo Lin clenched his fist, not sure what the problem was?
He hated Xia Wan, but that hatred seemed to turn into a cluster of flames, burning his heart with scalding heat, making it even more difficult for him to take his eyes off Xia Wan.
Seeing them approaching step by step, Huo Lin gritted his teeth, straightened his face, and raised his head.
Huo Peixue, who was beside him, didn't look too good-looking, and Li Yun was even worse.
She was not well-educated in the first place, and she had acted arbitrarily all these years. At this moment, her face was so gloomy that she could almost squeeze out water.
After a while, she cast her eyes on Xia Yang who had finally had the opportunity to attend the banquet because of his meritorious deeds. Xia Yang's hands trembled from that gaze, and he didn't bother to wipe off the wine that spilled all over his chest.
Hold!Why is Xia Wan here?
Didn't he go to the concert?
this fucking...
He finally got some corners and corners of Huo's house, is it going to be ruined again?
What a fucking disaster.
He looked at Xia Wan angrily, but Xia Wan smiled, as pleasant as the spring breeze outside the window, but he didn't even give him a glance.
For a while, Xia Yang didn't even have the thought of befriending the powerful. He felt restless, like being roasted on a coal fire.
"Uncle, aunt." Huo Yu took Xia Wan's hand and walked in front of Huo Lin's family of three, said politely, and handed the gift box in his hand to Huo Lin, "Congratulations."
Huo Lin took the gift box in his hand stiffly, without saying a word.
Li Yun glanced around and lowered his voice extremely low: "You really don't even want your face."
Even though she was holding back, the disgust on her face couldn't be concealed.
"Uncles and aunts naturally want face." Huo Yu smiled casually, "Otherwise, how could you take the trouble to do so many shows?"
His voice was neither high nor low, and people around him had already smiled meaningfully upon hearing this.
"Huo Yu," Huo Peixue said coldly, "Pay attention to your image!"
"What image do I have?" Huo Yu looked sideways lightly, "Isn't uncle the clearest?"
"I don't think you're here to celebrate for me," Huo Lin insisted, "You're here to make trouble because you think I'm better than you?"
Huo Yu looked at him inexplicably, making Huo Lin feel guilty.
He didn't know if Huo Yu was capable or not, even if he was capable, the Huo family never gave him a chance, and the Huo family knew about it.
"Really?" It wasn't until Huo Lin unconsciously avoided his eyes that Huo Yu said lazily, "I came to congratulate you out of kindness, didn't my aunt scold me first?"
Li Yun: ...
If it weren't for so many people watching, she really wanted to smash the wine glass severely.
"Stop making trouble," Huo Peixue said in a low voice, "Do you still think that others haven't seen enough jokes?"
He gave Xia Wan a dark look, as long as this person is in the circle for a day, their Huo family will be a joke in the eyes of others.
It's a good thing he was prepared, otherwise today's game would be a fucking embarrassment and thrown at grandma's house.
The corners of Huo Yu's lips curved slightly imperceptibly, as if he had become the polite Huo Yu just now: "Uncle is busy, I'll take Wanwan to eat something."
Huo Peixue snorted sullenly and didn't speak again.
"Let's go." Huo Yu let go of Xia Wan's hand, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked towards the bar to protect him.
As soon as the two groups separated, some people came over to say hello immediately.
"Huo Yu, when did you come back?" A young man held a wine glass, but unconsciously glanced at Xia Wan.
"I just came back not long ago." Huo Yu hugged Xia Wan in his arms and responded lightly.
"Say it early, my buddy will catch up with you." The young man said.
"Next time I'll organize a game and get together," Huo Yu said.
Huo Yu's identity is sensitive. These people have a good relationship with Huo Lin, so naturally they are not much better than Huo Yu. The so-called next time means there is no next time.
"Okay." The man raised his glass and said boldly.
"Young Master Huo," before he took two steps, someone greeted him again, "When are you going to play? Ever since you disappeared from the racing track, to be honest, there is no meaning at all."
"There will be a chance in the future." Huo Yu smiled slightly.
"You can still race cars?" Xia Wan was a little surprised.
"Played when I was young." Huo Yu said, "Then there was an accident, and then I went abroad."
The two of them reached the bar while talking. Xia Wan picked out a small cake, and he picked it up with a fork. He didn't eat it himself, but held it to Huo Yu's lips.
"Try it, young master, this is delicious."
Huo Yu lowered his head and took a sip very lightly, the sweet smell of cream immediately overflowed in his mouth gradually, a bit like the taste of a summer evening.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Wan asked expectantly.
"Delicious." Huo Yu smiled.
"May I get a piece for you?" Xia Wan asked, when he spoke with his face up, there was always a hint of being a good boy.
Huo Yu smiled and said, "No need for now."
"Oh." Xia Wan said, picking out a little cake and putting it in his mouth.
The rosy lips were stained with a little creamy white, which reminded Huo Yu of sweet cherries or strawberries.
What's more, Xia Wan didn't change the fork at all, but directly put the fork he just used into his mouth.
Huo Yu unconsciously looked away, feeling a faint heat in his mouth for no reason.
There are various drinks on the bar counter, and the bartender is coolly shaking the sifter in his hand.
Xia Wan thought it was interesting, so she sat on the stool and ate the cake while watching it with her chin.
He has never drank alcohol, and he has only seen descriptions of alcohol in books. It is a mysterious and charming liquid.
In the past, his grandfather and elder brother liked to have a drink or two when they had nothing to do, and they seemed to really enjoy it.
Xia Wan was a little curious and couldn't help biting her lip.
The liquid in the sieve drum is poured into a conical glass wine glass, which is bright red under the light, and the bartender put a lemon and a few mint leaves on the wall of the glass, making it even more beautiful
"Would you like to try it?" the bartender smiled and pushed the wine towards the summer evening, "Love in Hawaii is very suitable for you."
"Thank you." Xia Wan rolled her eyes and reached out to pick it up.
NF
But Huo Yu was one step faster than him, he pushed the glass of wine back: "Sorry, please give him another glass of orange juice."
"Hey," the two found an empty seat and sat down. Xia Wan looked at the whiskey in Huo Yu's hand, and couldn't help being a little angry, "Why can you drink it and I can't? I'm already an adult."
"You talk so much," Huo Yu looked at him with a smile, everyone's eyes are full of affection, but what you say is so irritating, "If you drink too much, it's easy to reveal your secrets."
"Hmph." Xia Wan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Angry?" Huo Yu asked.
"Too lazy to be angry with you," Xia Wan raised the orange juice in her glass, "Orange juice is delicious anyway."
They were talking, and a few more people came in at the door.
Xia Wan raised her eyes and looked over, coincidentally, she met Qiu Qi's eyes.
Qiu Qi glanced at Xia Wan in disgust, then looked away with disdain.
"Young Master," Xia Wan leaned closer to Huo Yu, "Should we still sit there?"
When he came in just now, he noticed that Huo Yu's name tag was on the first table.
Apart from the Huo family, there were Qiu family, Zhou family and Xue family on the table, but his name was not there.
That's right, the Huo family thought he wouldn't be there, so why did they prepare his name tag?
Huo Yu paused for a moment without speaking.
Before today, he might not have thought about it that much at all, but now, facing Xia Wan's clean and smiling eyes, he suddenly didn't want to drag him into such a muddy pond.
"Little sister-in-law, Huo Yu." After the entertainment, Shen Yan approached with a wine glass.
"You drank a lot before the show started?" Huo Yu looked at him and asked.
Shen Yan usually likes to play, he is out of shape, everyone loves to feed him.
"Can this be my fault?" Shen Yan put his hand on the back of the seat, raised his hand to loosen his tie, "If Sun Baijiang hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to get out right now."
When Xia Wan heard the words, she turned her head and looked to the other side. Sure enough, there were quite a few people gathered not far away, among whom was Sun Baijiang.
Xia Wan leaned close to Huo Yu's ear, her lips almost stuck to his earlobe, and her tone was unavoidably gloating: "It's so lively today."
"I'm busy, can you run?" Huo Yu gave him a lukewarm look.
Xia Wan took a sip of the orange juice with a smile, and was suddenly seen by Shen Yan.
"Who is so short-sighted to give my sister-in-law orange juice." Shen Yan was angrily, "Who do you look down on?"
Xia Wan almost spit out a mouthful of orange juice, and couldn't help but tilt her head to cough and laugh.
Shen Yan was inexplicable, until he met Huo Yu's cool gaze, he suddenly reacted.
"It's not wrong for little sister-in-law to drink orange juice," Shen Yan suppressed a smile, "It's only been two years since I came of age, so I should."
"It's really lively here." Sun Baijiang moved over at some point, and sat down next to Shen Yan.
Seeing that Huo Yu was holding a tissue to wipe Xia Wan's eyelashes wet from laughing, he silently handed over a glass of white water.
"Thank you." Xia Wan took it over and smiled at him.
The child was really good-looking and well-behaved, Sun Baijiang couldn't help thinking, no wonder Huo Yu held it in his hands so painfully and protected him.
He didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he instinctively smiled back at Xia Wan.
"I saw Uncle Sun just now, didn't you go over and talk to him?" Shen Yan asked suddenly.
Sun Baijiang shook his head, and said after a while: "No."
Shen Yan didn't make another sound, but Huo Yu, who had been unresponsive since he came here, raised his eyelids.
Sun Baijiang hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
He looked at the position of the first table and said softly, "I heard that Uncle Huo specially flew to France a few days ago to meet that Zhou Ke, and arranged him at the first table today, probably because of some deep meaning."
Xia Wan doesn't hate Sun Baijiang, and even thinks that Sun Baijiang should be a very gentle person.
After all, he can even say words like "bad intentions" into "has no deep meaning," he should be a person who is willing to leave room for others.
Unlike Huo Yu, who is so isolated.
"What do you mean?" Shen Yan asked.
"I heard," Sun Baijiang still started with this word, "Uncle Sun went to talk to the Zhou family about the marriage. It seems to be that Zhou Ke's son Zhou Wen."
Huo Lin was already engaged, so Huo Yu was the only one in the Huo family to talk about marriage.
Hearing this, Huo Yu, who had been holding Xia Wan's hand as a toy with his eyes downcast, finally raised his thick and long eyelashes.
Huo Peixue wanted to get married for him, but he was not even told as the party concerned.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a sharp and mocking smile.
Compared to Huo Yu's reaction, Xia Wan felt that the direction of the plot was normal.
In the original book, Huo Yu was arranged for marriage by Huo Peixue.
The book did not detail the details of the marriage, whether Huo Yu had resisted, or even who the specific marriage partner of Huo Yu was, only saying that it was far inferior to the Qiu family.
Although many things have not been explained, but from the description of some details and the dialogue between the protagonists, Xia Wan can also judge that Huo Yu and his marriage partner are not doing well.
Even, his marriage partner was very likely to be on the side of the so-called "justice" and betrayed Huo Yu.
Sun Baijiang also said just now that the other party lives in France, which is where Huo Yu has been living before.
What Huo Peixue meant was that he still wanted to get Huo Yu out of the country.
It was expected that he would do so. Once Yan Rui took office, it would be almost impossible for them to control Huo Yu's development through policy manipulation.
Get people out, once and for all.
Xia Wan quietly glanced at the first table, and indeed there was a very handsome boy looking over here secretly, he guessed that it should be the Zhou Wen that Sun Baijiang was talking about.
Maybe this Zhou family was the one that Huo Yu married in his previous life?
Not sure about summer night.
But what is certain is that even after the marriage, Huo Yu never went abroad again.
How did he live at that time, was it very tormented? The author never described a sentence from his perspective.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help feeling sorry for Huo Yu.
He was robbed of everything, calculated by others, and locked in that dark, hopeless book with a predestined ending. How desperate should he be?
"Huo Yu," he quietly squeezed Huo Yu's palm, and said softly, "I'll be with you."
Xia Wan's fingertips were soft, her tone of voice was gentle, and her eyes were soft and firm when she looked up at him. Everything was soft, but somehow it gave Huo Yu great strength.
Huo Yu looked down at him for a moment, and couldn't help tightening his fingers, even the slightly cold and hard line of the jaw line softened a lot.
Looking at each other, they all understood why the Huo family asked Zhao Chengfang and Xia Yang to find out about Xia Wan.
It's not just because the arrival of Xia Wan will make them lose face and become a laughing stock.
But if they want to marry Huo Yu, they will definitely not be able to let Xia Wan be there.
Since Sun Baijiang knew that Huo Peixue's contact with the Zhou family was for Huo Yu's marriage, then the Huo family had already communicated with the Zhou family.
And if I also come with Huo Yu...
Wouldn't that be the scene of a social death?
At this moment, Xia Wan could even be sure that if he didn't show interest in the concert, they might do something artificially to prevent him from coming.
After sorting out the key points, Xia Wan couldn't help sighing, today's scene is so fucking exciting.
He couldn't even imagine how embarrassing it would be for this wave of people with different plans to gather together later.
Just thinking about it makes him want to dig his toes.
Huo Peixue is really good, even after this, he can still keep his face steady.
He snuggled in Huo Yu's direction, raised his face, and said close to Huo Yu's ear, "I'm about to sympathize with Huo Peixue."
Huo Yu didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little calmly.
"Damn it!" Shen Yan burst into a foul language, "This surprise came too suddenly."
Huo Yu's marriage has not been announced yet, and he did not mention it in front of Sun Baijiang.
But obviously, he also thought of the situation where everyone would get together later, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"That Zhou Wen said that you are his senior." Sun Baijiang told all the news he got, "Have you met before?"
Huo Yu glanced over coldly, and happened to meet Zhou Wen's gaze.
Peeking at the caught bag, Sun Wen looked away in panic.
"I don't remember." Huo Yu said, his voice still cold.
But even so, Sun Baijiang's brows and eyes were still tinged with joy, as if as long as Huo Yu was willing to talk to him, it would be enough surprise for him.
"If you need it later," he turned the water glass in his palm, "I can help you take care of Xia Wan."
"Sun Baijiang." Huo Yu suddenly raised his eyes and called his name coldly.
Sun Baijiang was stunned.
"You're not tired of stabbing a few sweet dates for the last time, so am I," Huo Yu said flatly, "You know, I can't trust you, don't do anything for me, do I have to beg you? "
Sun Baijiang held his cup tightly, his pale face full of confusion.
"As for Xia Wan," Huo Yu continued, "Even if I throw him out and let him fend for himself, it's impossible for you to 'take care'. As for why, you know better than anyone else, don't you?"
Sun Baijiang's knuckles holding the wine glass gradually turned white, and he lowered his eyes when he heard this.
It is so lonely that people feel very heavy.
"I'll take care of my sister-in-law later." Shen Yan hurriedly smoothed things over, and said to Sun Baijiang, "It's rare for you to come out once to have fun with yourself."
"Thank you," Xia Wan put down the water glass, "I'll follow Huo Yu later, with him around, I'm not afraid of anything."
As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Yu: "Right?"
Huo Yu nodded and shook his hand: "Come on, let's go over there and say hello."
Xia Wan followed Huo Yu's gaze, and saw a very attractive middle-aged couple just entered the door.
The identities of this couple should be very unusual, because Huo Peixue greeted them personally.
"Mr. Xue, Mr. Wen, the presence of the two masters really makes the humble house shine."
As soon as Huo Peixue made a sound, everyone else stood up, including Shen Yan and Sun Baijiang.
"Who is this?" Xia Wan didn't know each other, but the two people on the opposite side were really good looking. The woman looked gentle and kind, while the man was handsome and gentle. They only seemed to make people feel comfortable.
"Xue Chong, the person in charge of the Xue family, and his wife Wen Yunzhi." Huo Yu said in a low voice.
"Xue family?" Xia Wan repeated it very softly, and then remembered the huge X building sign, which was exactly the same as the sign of their house in reality.
It turns out that here, they are the masters there.
Xia Wan was a little distracted, perhaps because of this fate, he felt more affectionate to the couple.
"If Mr. Huo's house is a humble house, then what are we?" Wen Yunzhi said with a smile.
She speaks softly and is approachable in her speech, responding very easily to those who came to say hello.
"It's a joke, it's a joke." Huo Peixue hurriedly humbled himself, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
The business of Huo's family is not as good as that of Xue's, but this house is unique.
Back then, Huo Peifeng took advantage of the convenience of real estate to take this piece of land, but after the policy changed, it was no longer possible to get such a piece of land again.
He personally let Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi take the upper seat, and asked: "Wen Xuan, the kid didn't come?"
"There's something wrong with the company, he's going to deal with it." Xue Chong replied with a smile.
"It's still capable of Wenxuan," Huo Peixue praised, and then pointed to Huo Lin, "We are far behind."
"Isn't Huo Lin promising this time?" Wen Yunzhi said with a smile, "Give the child more opportunities to exercise, and it will be fine."
The banquet officially started. Before taking a seat, Xia Yang moved to Xia Wan's side while Huo Yu was chatting with others.
"Wan Wan," he touched Xia Wan, "Don't go to the main table, there is no place for you there, you sit with me."
Xia Wan looked at him with a smile, the more innocent he smiled, the more Xia Yang wanted to crush him to death.
"I just heard that the child of Mr. Wen's family didn't come?" Xia Wan said with a smile, "I'll take his seat."
You deserve it too!Xia Yang cursed secretly.
But he was also afraid of Huo Yu, so he had to hold back: "Even if there is a seat, someone else will take it. You don't know how many people are waiting to curry favor with the Xue family. How can it be your turn?"
"Why isn't it his turn?" Suddenly, Huo Yu interrupted him.
"My brother said that there is no place for me over there, so let me sit with him." Xia Wan said.
"Who said there is no place for you?" Huo Yu said, his eyes glanced coldly at Xia Yang.
"Brother, go quickly." Xia Wan said to Xia Yang, "Even if there is really no place, I can sit on Huo Yu's lap."
Xia Yang: ...
Huo Yu: ..., you are quite wild.
When Xia Wan took her seat, she clearly felt that Huo Peixue's face was extremely ugly, especially Li Yun and Qiu Qi.
Of course, the expressions of Zhou's father and son on the opposite side were not much better.
"Hello Uncle, Hello Auntie." Xia Wan smiled sweetly, her eyes were bright, her smile was clean and pure, which made Wen Yunzhi laugh.
As they got closer, Xia Wan realized that Wen Yunzhi was very thin.
"What uncle and aunt?" Huo Yu rubbed the top of his hair with a smile, "This is Xue's chairman, and this is Mr. Wen."
Xia Wan was about to call her again, but Wen Yunzhi said first: "Are you Tangtang's roommate?"
"Yeah." Xia Wan was startled, "Do you know Su Tang?"
"I'm his aunt." Wen Yunzhi said with a smile.
Xia Wan was a little surprised.
Su Tang often mentioned his aunt, but Xia Wan always thought that his aunt was an ordinary businessman, but she didn't expect to have such a big background.
Seeing him in a daze, Wen Yunzhi moved closer to him, and whispered: "I watched your live broadcast recently. It's a great honor to watch it in person today."
Xia Wan pursed her lips, and her cheeks gradually became hot: "You like to watch these too?"
"Watch the meal while eating." Wen Yunzhi smiled softly, "But I'm short on time, so I usually watch the replays. If I watch the scene, I will definitely reward you."
Xia Wan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, thank you, Auntie."
He thought for a while, and finally did not call Mr. Wen, but followed Su Tang to call Auntie.
Wen Yunzhi likes Xia Wan very much, but she can't explain why.
From the time she saw Xia Wan's profile outside the school gate, she felt that this child was very kind.
At that time, she thought she might have seen it before, but after thinking about it, she hadn't.
She went to school to pick up Su Tang, or to see Su Tang, mostly at the school gate or on campus, and never went to Su Tang's dormitory.
Su Tang never brought anyone down to meet her.
Later, Su Tang let her watch the child's live broadcast.
Since the child was lost, her health has not been very good, and her appetite is even more problematic.
But she doesn't think eating and broadcasting can solve her problems.
Because before Xia Wan, she had also watched a lot of eating broadcasts, most of which were delicious for the sake of eating, and she found it boring.
I thought it was the same in Xia Wan, but later she couldn't stand Su Tang's nagging, she clicked on and watched an episode, only to find that this kid eats deliciously, smiles so sweetly, and eating is just eating, and there is less nonsense. Everything suits her.
That time, when she watched the replay of Xia Wan's live broadcast, she didn't realize that she ate half a bowl of rice, which surprised Su Tang very much.
Wen Yunzhi and Xia Wan were talking, and some other thoughts could not help but pop up in their hearts.
She believes in fate, and always feels that her fate with Xia Wan is amazing, because no one has ever made her feel this familiar and compatible.
When she faced Xia Wan, just like facing Su Tang, she couldn't help being a little bit overwhelmed with maternal love.
When Xia Wan approached her to talk, she habitually looked at Xia Wan's left wrist.
Her child had a small birthmark on his left wrist.
Xia Wan's hands are beautiful, thin and white, with pink nails, but the cuffs are too long, covering the wrists.
"Cough." Huo Peixue coughed lightly, interrupting Wen Yunzhi's conversation with Xia Wan.
He introduced to Huo Yu seriously, "Yu'er, this Mr. Zhou also lives in Paris, I wonder if you have met him before."
Huo Yu nodded lightly to Zhou Ke and said, "I haven't seen it before."
"Although you haven't met me, I know you," Zhou Ke said with a smile, "Zhou Wen graduated from the same school as you."
"That's right," Zhou Wen's eyes brightened, "I noticed the senior a long time ago, and I occasionally meet the senior in school. Everyone admires you."
"Really?" Huo Yu looked away, paused for a moment in Zhou Wen's nervous expression, then shook his head, and said softly, "I don't remember."
Zhou Wen's fair cheeks were flushed, and he smiled: "The senior is so good, it's normal not to remember me."
"It's okay if you don't remember." Huo Peixue made a relief, "Didn't we meet today?"
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Xue," Huo Peixue turned to Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi, "Your Xue family's markets are all over the world. What do you think of France in the past two years?"
"France is pretty stable," Xue Chong said, "Boss Huo is going to build the house in France?"
"That's not true." Huo Peixue hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, "At present, I just have an idea and want to open a branch in France. I don't want to invite you, Mr. Wen, and Mr. Zhou to come here together and listen to the experience of those who have come here. .”
"What type?" Wen Yunzhi asked.
"Jewelry." Huo Peixue said, observing Huo Yu's reaction calmly, "It's a pity that Yan Yu didn't fall into my hands like this."
Back then, Huo Peifeng founded Huo's, which was mainly engaged in real estate, while Yanwei was obsessed with jewelry design and founded "Yanyu". Before Huo Peifeng and Yanwei's accident, "Yanyu" was actually quite famous.
But later, when Huo Peifeng had an accident, it happened to be the most prosperous time for real estate, and it can be said that it was making money every day.
Huo Peixue was eager for quick success, so he devoted most of his energy to Huo's real estate development projects, while Yanyu's designers left one after another due to poor management, and slowly disappeared with Yanwei.
Although this brand still exists, it is still handed over to Huo Lin and Huo Lin's uncle Li Sheng to take care of it, which is better than nothing.
Others don't know, but Huo Peixue knows that Huo Yu will never really have no idea about what Huo Peifeng and Yanwei left behind.
Even when he studied art abroad these years, it was only as a last resort.
There is only one way to make Huo Yu never show up - to suppress him.
Now, he has paid to set up a branch abroad. In the eyes of outsiders, he is taking care of the younger generation and giving Huo Yu a chance.
If he had the chance to get back his mother's things, even if it was an empty shell, he believed that Huo Yu would never give up this opportunity.
It not only solves the problem, but also earns a reputation for yourself, why not do it?
And marrying the Zhou family can completely keep Huo Yu abroad.
Zhou's father and son also knew that Huo Yu was raising a child like Xia Wan.
Before contacting Zhou Ke and his son, Huo Peixue had sent someone to check their details. Although the Zhou family was engaged in investment business, it had not been as good as it used to be these years, and only small troubles were left, which could not be of any help to Huo Yu. beneficial.
The most important thing is that Zhou Wen has been secretly in love with Huo Yu for a long time. Even if he knew that someone like Xia Wan existed, he would definitely not be willing to give up the opportunity to combine with Huo Yu.
That's why he told the whole story about Xia Wan openly and honestly.
Sure enough, Zhou's father and son also believed that with Xia Wan's background, Huo Yu and him could not last long, and they would score sooner or later.
Zhou Ke still cared a little bit, but Zhou Wen and Huo Peixue thought the same thing, and when he thought of Huo Yu, he lost all judgment.
In the end, the father and son traveled across the ocean to come to the banquet.
Huo Peixue secretly applauded the danger, but also couldn't help secretly admiring his courage.
If it were someone else, they might have kept Xia Wan's affairs a secret, so Zhou Ke would never tolerate Xia Wan's presence today.
And the move he made, although it seemed extremely dangerous, was actually extremely stable.
As long as Huo Yu is willing to marry the Zhou family today for his mother's hard work, then
