The Huo Family is in turmoil, and every mber has to sway along with it.
No one can escape.
Seeing that Huo Lan called him first upon hearing the news, Xu Xingguang realized that this person wasn’t dumb. Xu Xingguang smiled knowingly and said, "Mr. Huo, have you ever seen the sumr in Cangshan Town?"
Huo Lan was stunned for a few seconds, "No, I haven’t."
Whether Huo Wen’an lives or dies, what does it have to do with the sumr of Cangshan Town?
Xu Xingguang continued, "My brother said that sumr in Cangshan Town is interesting. He wants to take to catch cicadas and pick lotus pods. Has Mr. Huo ever eaten freshly picked lotus pods? I can bring you so then."
Huo Lan imdiately understood the hint from Xu Xingguang.
This sumr, Huo Wen’an still had plans with Miss Xu to pick lotus pods and catch cicadas, so he likely wouldn’t die.
At least, he wouldn’t die this ti.
"Then I’ll trouble Miss Xu." After hanging up the phone, Huo Lan imdiately dismissed the wavering thoughts in his mind.
Forget it.
He didn’t want to be the grass that’s cut off.
Xu Qingnian’s old bedsore had completely healed. Sister Linlin gave him a bath and rewashed everything in the house, finally eliminating the unpleasant sll in his room.
After Xu Xingguang returned, she perford acupuncture on Xu Qingnian.
Xu Qingnian asked her who taught her acupuncture, to which she replied, "I went abroad for a while to learn from an old expert."
Xu Qingnian was deeply moved.
The weather in Yujiang City gradually turned warm, no longer needing to wear coats. After finishing acupuncture, Xu Xingguang pushed Xu Qingnian to bask in the sun at the town park.
As the old man was nodding off, the phone rang.
Xu Qingnian’s hand was sowhat paralyzed, unable to answer the call, so he let Xu Xingguang pick it up.
Xu Xingguang glanced at the caller’s na and told Xu Qingnian, "It’s Xu Zeqing, should I answer it?"
Xu Qingnian had heard about Xu Xingguang cutting off relations with Xu Zeqing. Although he felt sorry, he never condemned Xu Xingguang for it.
Hearing the cold tone when Xu Xingguang ntioned Xu Zeqing, Xu Qingnian helplessly shook his head and couldn’t help but say, "He is still your father. Do you really want to cut off all ties?"
"It’s already done." Xu Xingguang said expressionlessly.
Xu Qingnian gave up on his intention to diate and said, "Help take the call."
Xu Xingguang answered the phone and placed it by Xu Qingnian’s ear.
"Dad." Xu Zeqing called out, and hearing the old man’s acknowledgnt, he secretly sighed in relief.
Xu Zeqing cheerfully said, "Dad, today is Ming Yue’s engagent banquet with the young master of the Chu Family. Since you’re not feeling well, I didn’t invite you. But the Chu Family prepared a gift for you. I’ll bring it over right now."
Xu Qingnian frowned deeply.
He couldn’t help but scold, "The engagent banquet is over, why are you coming to see now! Besides, I only have Xingguang as a granddaughter. I’m not interested in other people’s wedding candies and gifts!"
Xu Zeqing chuckled helplessly, saying, "I’m already on the way, just wait for ."
About to hang up the phone, Xu Xingguang picked up the phone at this mont and told Xu Zeqing, "We’re sunbathing at the park, just co to the park to find Grandpa directly."
Xu Zeqing hung up imdiately.
After more than twenty minutes, Xu Zeqing arrived.
He was dressed extrely formally today, in a deep blue tailored suit, making him look cultured and refined.
To strangers unaware of his true nature, seeing Xu Zeqing in this manner would make them assu he was a suave and respectable gentleman.
Carrying many items in his hand, Xu Zeqing started to show off as soon as he saw Xu Qingnian. "The Chu Family prepared lavish gifts for you and even included an 88,000-yuan red envelope."
Ignoring Xu Qingnian’s objections, Xu Zeqing stuffed the red envelope into Xu Qingnian’s arms.
He sat down by the flowerbed railing opposite Xu Qingnian, with a smile, saying, "The Chu Family gave the Xu Family plenty of face this ti. Just their betrothal gift was worth a hundred million, and they separately gave Ming Yue a five-percent share in a mall."
"For our Xu Family, good days are approaching."
Xu Qingnian was also surprised upon hearing this.
But he soon frowned in disapproval, reminding Xu Zeqing, "What kind of family are we, and what kind of family is the Chu Family? If You Mingyue marries over there, that’s a high marriage; how could she have good days?"
"If I were you, I’d save the money because if the marriage falls apart in the future, you’ll still have to return it."
Xu Qingnian felt that Xu Zeqing’s idea of relying on his daughter for wealth wasn’t right and needed to be changed.
Xu Zeqing’s face imdiately fell, and he sneered coldly, "Dad, today is their engagent party. You should say sothing nice. You’re a cultured person as well, why are your words so harsh!"
