âJingzhi, my Big Brother is new here and doesnât know much, so Iâm representing him. We brothers have the same intentions.â Huo Shengyuan immediately helped Huo Jiuxiao out of the situation, showing that he was polite and polite.
âThe second son of the Huo Family is indeed slightly better than the eldest. One couldnât just look at oneâs background, one had to look at oneâs character. Itâs indeed rude for a junior to come empty-handed on such a big occasion. Itâs not like he doesnât know that the Xu family is celebrating their birthday.â Below, some guests were discussing quietly.
âOf course. Huo Shengyuan comes here every year. His relationship with the Xu family is not ordinary. How can anyone just barge in?â
âHeâs still outside after all. He doesnât understand the ways of the world. What a
pity.â
These people thought that their voices were very soft, but Lin Wanli pricked up her ears and heard them all. Huo Shengyuanâs wagging tail and the way he was taking credit for himself, was he decent and good-looking?
At this moment, a loud female voice came from the door. And she said, âMy son is extremely excellent.â
Everyone followed their gaze and saw Yun Shujing appear at the entrance of the Xu familyâs banquet hall in a white brocade cheongsam. She had come at the right time when her son was in his prime. Therefore, Yun Shujing was very satisfied. When she entered the hall, she walked to Huo Shengyuanâs side and said proudly to Xu Chonglou, âSorry, Elder Xu. Iâm late.â
âAunt Shu, you came at the right time. Everyone is praising Brother Shengyuan as a dragon among men.â Xu Jingzhi said deliberately.
âSister-in-law, you should have come earlier.â Xu Chonglou echoed.
âIsnât there a saying that itâs better to come at the right time than early? No matter what, I know that Shengyuan has grown up and can stand alone. Iâm very gratified. This doesnât disappoint his fatherâs expectations of him.â As Yun Shujing spoke, she caressed Huo Shengyuanâs arm in satisfaction. âGood boy, youâve done well. You know how to protect your family now.â
âShengyuan is indeed outstanding.â Elder Xu continued to praise.
âIsnât that so? He cares about you a thousand times and he cares about Huiwen a lot.â
It would have been fine if Huiwen hadnât been mentioned. However, the moment Huiwen was mentioned, Mother Xuâs face instantly darkened. Was she still acting? Mother Xu was furious, especially when she saw everyone in the room praising Huo Shengyuan. She couldnât help but laugh. Whose birthday banquet is it today? Did he think that this was the Huo Family?
Was Yun Shujingâs passionate performance also telling everyone about Huo Qingxiaoâs attitude?
What about Huo Jiuxiao?
Was coming here a joke?
At this moment, the butler walked in quickly and whispered something into Elder Xuâs ear. âPlease come in, please come in,â Elder Xu said excitedly.
It was unknown whose arrival had caused Elder Xu to have such a huge reaction.
A moment later, a thin middle-aged woman appeared in the living room of the Xu family with a little girl. At this moment, not only Father Xu but even Mother Xuâs eyes were filled with tears.
âYunying, why are you here?â Mother Xu hurriedly went up to grab the other partyâs hand.
âIâm here to thank you.â The woman said,â Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, Guoyingâs remains have been found. Itâs been 20 years. Iâve been waiting for 20 years and finally, Guoyingâs remains have returned to their roots. Iâm going to England to welcome my husband tomorrow, so I came here today to thank you two for entrusting Diheng to give me such a big surprise. I have no regrets in this life.â
âDiheng?â Father Xu felt that these two words were very familiar. âThenâ¦ltâs not Jiuxiaoâs company?â
Father Xu was shocked. Not finding the remains of his best friend was the greatest regret of his life. However, no one knew about this except for himself. How did Huo Jiuxiao know?
âIs the person in charge of this company here too, brother?â
Elder Xu turned to look at Huo Jiuxiao.
The woman looked over and wanted to kneel, but she was stopped by Lin Wanli.
âIâve found countless private detectives and invited countless private organizations. Iâve almost flattened this world. I didnât expect Diheng to fulfill my wish. Child, accept my bow.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMadam Ji, you donât have to be like this. Iâm just giving Elder Xu a birthday present.â Huo Jiuxiao helped him up. âA heroic and loyal soul should return to his hometown with honor.â
âHow capable is this childâ¦â Madam Ji wiped her tears as she praised Huo Jiuxiao.
No one had expected Elder Xu to walk up to Huo Jiuxiao and bow to him solemnly. âThis is the regret that Iâve kept in my heart for twenty years. Itâs also the most painful thing that Iâve dreamed about in the middle of the night. Jiuxiao, Uncle Xu will remember this gift of yours.â
Everyone was shocked. For Elder Xu to bow and thank him, it could be seen that the weight of this matter was incomparable.
Therefore, the reason why he didnât know etiquette and how to deal with the world was because the gift wasnât delivered in time.
How would this gift compare to Huo Shengyuanâs painting?
Therefore, Huo Shengyuan, who had given Huo Jiuxiao a gift, was a complete joke. Just because they didnât express their stance didnât mean that they werenât prepared.
The elders were still crying, but everyone understood that this was a good thing. The young master of the Huo family seemed to be able to do things that others couldnât do in decades. He seemed to be more resourceful than others imagined.
âThink about it. How bad can the person that our countryâs Andu wants to recruit be?â At this moment, Elder Lu could not help but snort.
She had goosebumps all over her body from Huo Shengyuan and his motherâs performance, but Huo Qingxiao, that old thing, was just watching the show as usual. Did he think Huo Jiuxiao was a weakling?
âLook, Huo Shengyuanâs expression is so awkwardâ¦â
âWho would have thought that there would be such a turn of events? So it turns out that itâs the first time Iâve seen someone whoâs awesome, someone who can make tens of thousands of people bow and thank him.â
âIâve heard about Ji Guoying. You can check on the internet to see how powerful the Ji family is now. It was said that he and Elder Xu were classmates and comrades-in-arms. The two of them had carried out many missions and were life-and-death friends. Later, Ji Guoying was sent overseas to support them, but since then, there has been no news of him ever again. Iâve heard my elders mention it before.â
âIn other words, Huo Jiuxiaoâs actions have made the two great families feel grateful to him and treat him as a distinguished guest?â
He was extraordinary. In addition, the Lu family was protecting him. The guests naturally had a plan in their hearts. The eldest son of the Huo Family was indeed a character.
Huo Shengyuan was very outstanding, but compared to Huo Jiuxiao, he seemed like a child. He was too childish.
Most importantly, who would still have their eyes on Yun Shujing and her son now? Huo Jiuxiao was completely in the atmosphere.. Where did he find out about the secret that Elder Xu had kept in his heart for twenty years?
