When Huo Qingxiao brought Huo Jiuxiao and his wife to the Deer Pavilion, Huo Shengyuan and his wife came out to welcome them. Huo Qingxiao frowned immediately. It seemed that Huo Shengyuan wanted to be the son of the Xu family. Didn’t he already put himself in the position of the Xu family’s master? How could he still have the slightest shadow of the Huo Family?
“Dad, Big Brother, sister-in-law.” Huo Shengyuan led Mu Qingya down the stairs and greeted them.
“Looks like you’ve achieved your goal of reaching the Xu family a day early. You must hate yourself for being a member of the Huo Family. If he were to devote himself to the Xu family, he would be able to go anywvhere, just like now. I thought you were the young master of the Xu family when I saw you and Qingya being so free. Dad will need you to take care of him in the future.” Huo Qingxiao said mockingly.
Huo Shengyuan and Huo Yuxi were stunned and embarrassed. They didn’t expect Huo Qingxiao to be so angry and taunt them so harshly. However, they didn’t show it immediately. They only felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
“Dad, you’ve misunderstood Shengyuan. He’s just worried about Huiwen’s condition and wanted to come over in advance to see if he could help.” Mu Qingya defended Huo Shengyuan.
Huo Shengyuan was like a child who had been wronged by his parents. He finally showed a trace of helplessness.
However, Huo Qingxiao didn’t buy it. He snorted and continued, “Really? You’re so worried about Huiwen, yet you still went to work with Su Yuanchao?” This time, even Mu Qingya’s face was flushed.
“You’re all thousand-year-old foxes. You don’t have to act in front of me.” With that, Huo Qingxiao brought Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli over to the Xu family’s doorstep and walked toward the main hall.
Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya looked at each other, feeling wronged. However, they did not realize that their desire to cling to him was already written on her face. Not only did Huo Qingxiao notice it, but even the Xu family had noticed it a long time ago.
When Huo Qingxiao arrived at Deer Pavilion, Mother Xu had planned to welcome him personally. However, Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya took over the welcoming, claiming that they were their father and Big Brother. Mother Xu narrowed her eyes immediately. She felt that Huo Shengyuan was really out of line.
However, since he wanted to show off his closeness to the Xu family so much, Mother Xu did not stop him and readily agreed. Huo Shengyuan must not have known how many people would gossip about his actions. The Xu family did not even express their stance. Did he think that he was the master? Also, did he care that much about Huo Jiuxiao?
A moment later, they entered the main hall of the Xu family and saw Elder Xu and the other elders talking in the main hall. At that moment, Huo Shengyuan did something incomprehensible again. He returned to Elder Xu’s side, like a dog wagging its tail and flattering him.
“Old Huo is here.” Xu Chonglou ignored Huo Shengyuan’s deliberate show-off and walked up to Huo Qingxiao to shake his old friend’s hand.
“I promised to take responsibility for your health until the end. I will never break my promise.” Huo Qingxiao returned Elder Xu’s hand, then turned his head and instructed Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli, “This is Uncle Xu. The pretty lady beside him is Auntie.”
“Your mouth is annoying.” Mother Xu smiled.
“Uncle Xu, Auntie.” The two of them did not show any special enthusiasm or disrespect to the Xu family. It was just an ordinary greeting to the elders.
Mother Xu and Lin Wanli looked at each other. The two of them knew each other very well, so they weren’t too familiar with each other. Today’s program was to watch others perform. “Good children,” Mother Xu replied calmly.
At this moment, Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya looked at each other. They were clearly on high alert, but the meeting between the two sides was so calm and peaceful without any sparks. In the entertainment industry, this was called anti-explosion and anti-loneliness.
However, the two of them were still very happy because the Xu family did not show any special interest in Huo Jiuxiao. Their attitude towards Lin Wanli was also very calm. That’s right, what was Lin Wanli’s background? She was not presentable to begin with. Even though she had married into the Huo Family, she still could not hide her rustic aura.
However, the truth was that although Mother Xu knew that there was a huge gap between the two brothers, she only knew what the difference was when they were in the same space. Especially in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, Huo Jiuxiao was far superior. So she suddenly understood why Huo Shengyuan had to beat Huo Jiuxiao.
Huo Jiuxiao was just living his life wantonly. He didn’t even need to do it intentionally, but he was already more than 99% of men. However, Huo Shengyuan was far from that. He had to work hard to have the dignity he had now. He had worked hard to operate the company and tried his best to please Huo Qingxiao. Perhaps he was not as pleasing to the eye as Huo Jiuxiao in the
eyes of others..
