Meanwhile, it was lunchtime at the Huo Family’s residence.

Ever since Huo Zizhen came back from Jinchuan, she had a lot on her mind. She was constantly thinking about how Lin Wanli had obtained evidence of her meeting someone else. However, after thinking about it, she felt that this was not something that a normal person could do. Who exactly was Lin Wanli?

“I want to let Jiuxiao marry Lin Wanli first. The wedding has to be done, but the marriage registration can be done in advance. After all, in this family, Jiuxiao can’t be without someone to take care of him. Do you have any objections?” Huo Qingxiao asked the rest.

Although he said he was asking, in reality, he was just informing them. It was useless for others to object, even though this sister-in-law’s identity would affect the marriage between Huo Chengyuan and Huo Weichen. Which rich daughter would be willing to be suppressed by a commoner sister-in-law?

Rich people worked hard all their lives to be high and mighty, not to be on equal footing with poor people.

“Isn’t Second Brother going to have a wedding at the end of the year?” Huo Weichen asked casually.

“Let’s postpone it. The Huo family can’t handle two grand weddings in a short period of time.” Huo Qingxiao said.

“Ask Second Brother to postpone it?” Huo Weichen glanced at Huo Jiuxiao in disbelief. This old man was biased. Was he becoming more and more ridiculous?

Marrying a pauper for a deaf man, rather than a second sister-in-law with a strong marriage alliance?

“Don’t tell me you want the eldest brother to delay it for the second brother?” Huo Qingxiao asked.

Huo Weichen thought of the dagger in the front passenger seat of the sports car and suddenly became speechless.

“Huo Zizhen, what do you think?”

“How would I dare to have any objections to Big Brother’s marriage?” Huo Zizhen raised her head and replied, “I heard that sister-in-law is quite interesting. It’s good that she joined the family earlier. That way, we’ll be even livelier.”

Huo Shengyuan wasn’t around, but his marriage was postponed.

Although Yun Shujing didn’t say anything on the surface, she had already cut Huo Jiuxiao into pieces in her heart. Why should her son give way? Moreover, her son was married to a wealthy daughter of a well-matched family. What did Huo Jiuxiao marry? She actually dared to step on her daughter-in-law’s head.

However, she did not dare to refute Huo Qingxiao. She could only agree with a smile and give Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli the year-end schedule.

“Jiuxiao.” Huo Qingxiao looked up at Huo Jiuxiao and said, “Find some time to welcome Lin Wanli into the sect.”

“Big Brother, aren’t you going to struggle? Dad wants you to marry a poor man.” Huo Zizhen was testing Huo Jiuxiao’s attitude.

“It’s good to be able to disgust everyone here.” Huo Jiuxiao looked like he was happy to accept it, but it made everyone at the dining table suck in a breath. They instantly lost their appetite, especially Huo Zizhen. They could only keep quiet because she was asking for humiliation.

Huo Jiuxiao didn’t care about his reputation at all. As long as he could make them unhappy, he didn’t care if he married a poor or ugly person.

After the meal, Huo Qingxiao called Huo Jiuxiao into the study room and gave him the diamond ring that his mother had left behind.

“This ring is called the Eternal Beating. It’s a royal treasure that I auctioned off in London for your mother back then. It’s 9-9 carats and has the world’s top cutting craftsmanship…”

Huo Jiuxiao looked at the diamond ring. He had no desire to touch it. He only said, “No matter how big the diamond is, no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, it’s just a lie and a cage that imprisons people. I’ve never seen her wear it.”

“I’m asking you to treat Lin Wanli well. Don’t treat her unfairly. Even if it’s for the person in your heart, you have to keep your spirits up.” Huo Qingxiao was almost angered to death by this kid.

Huo Jiuxiao didn’t say anything. He turned around and left Huo Qingxiao’s study.

At this moment, the butler walked over and reached out to tug at Huo Jiuxiao’s sleeve. When he turned his head, he said, “Third Old Master’s widow came to visit. She said that she has an old score to settle with Madam.”

Master Xiao frowned. This third aunt was Huo Yu’an’s mother.

However, he did not remember that his mother had any grudges with this third aunt.

“Let her wait in the garden.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

After the butler left, Huo Jiuxiao glanced at the corner. Some people deserve to be called mistresses for their entire lives. Their habit of listening to the corner of the wall was really annoying.

On the fifth floor of the Huo residence, Yun Shujing was pacing back and forth anxiously in Huo Zizhen’s room. She really couldn’t understand why Huo Zizhen’s attitude towards Lin Wanli changed after a trip to Jinchuan. “Huo Zizhen, what exactly is your position? Why would you want that poor

bastard to join? Do you know what it means to postpone your second brother’s wedding? The two families have been discussing such a big matter for months. Now, they’re delaying it just like that. It’s ridiculous to make way for a poor man who’s nothing!”

“Why would you want that pauper to join the family?”

“Mom, what’s the use of losing your temper at me? How can I object to Dad’s question?” Huo Zizhen sneered. “Instead of nagging in my ear, why don’t you go and mobilize Second Sister-in-law? Let’s see if she’s willing to be ridden by a poor ghost.”

After hearing Huo Zizhen’s words, Yun Shujing felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. That’s right, it was useless for family members to object, but the marriage partner could have objections because it involved interests.

“I’ll call Qingya now.”

Huo Zizhen watched Yun Shujing leave the room and sneered. She hoped that this Second Sister-in-law really had a plan. It would be even more interesting if another person climbed into the manure pit. Of course, Huo Zizhen hoped that she would never see Lin Wanli again in her lifetime. However, the prerequisite was that Lin Wanli could not reveal her secret. Since she had taken precautions, it was safer to keep her under her nose.

In the garden downstairs, Huo Jiuxiao looked at the fifth floor before walking up to Mrs. Huo.

Mrs. Huo knew that Huo Jiuxiao was deaf and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“As far as I know, there is no conflict of interest between my mother and Third Aunt?” Huo Jiuxiao spoke first.

“She harmed me.” Mrs. Huo looked into Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes and said, “She was the one who killed my eldest son back then.”

Huo Jiuxiao frowned and didn’t say anything.

This was because he knew that Mrs. Huo was lying.

When the butler heard this, he subconsciously took a few steps back. “Third Aunt, you can choose to watch from the sidelines,” Huo Jiuxiao said. “It’s best to protect yourself. ”

“When the nest is overturned, there are no intact eggs.” Mrs. Huo sneered. “If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask. My miscarriage did happen, but it had nothing to do with your mother. However, I was blinded by hatred at that time, so I blamed everything on your mother. That second wife also knows about this matter. You only need to go against me on the surface, but you can talk about it in private.”

“Help me protect someone. No matter when, no matter where, even if it’s against my interests, protect her. Similarly, as long as I’m alive, Huo Yu’an will be safe..”
