Chapter 571: Chapter 570: 570, Wanwan: Want to calculate me?

The next day was the second day of the new lunar year.

Soon after Su Wanwan got up, she received a call from Qiao Zixin.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qiao Zixin asked, “Wanwan, I recall you having a friend who is a celebrity, what is his name again?”

Su Wanwan replied, “You’re referring to Ye Qitian, aren’t you?”

“That’s right, I couldn’t remember his name. The thing is, our company has received a few advertising cases recently, and we need to find a few brand spokespeople in coordination with the manufacturers. We need young and quality male icons. Could you ask your friend if he would be interested? If he’s open to it, we can find a time to have a good talk about the endorsement fee and such.”

“Alright,” Su Wanwan agreed immediately.

“That’s fantastic, Wanwan. Thank you so much.”

Su Wanwan chuckled, “Cousin, isn’t it just the second day of the New Year? And you’re already back at work?”

“Oh dear, we can’t help it. Even though we have a seven-day New Year holiday, we can’t neglect our work. So, when you get a chance, please ask him or just give me his direct contact details, or the manager’s would also do.”

“Okay, I’ll ask him for you later on. He is currently back in Los Angeles, so it’s not convenient for him to be contacted.”

“Alright,” Qiao Zixin tactfully changed the subject. “By the way, your uncle mentioned that there is a dinner at Huashang Restaurant tonight to celebrate his promotion to bureau chief. My parents and I will also be there tonight and you should come too, Wanwan.”

Su Yuntang had mentioned this to her when he was hospitalized.

Su Wanwan didn’t agree to it then.

Now, she pondered for a moment, saying, “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to attend?”

Qiao Zixin began to persuade her immediately, “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’ve asked Grandpa, and Yanyan is not coming back this year.”

“Really?”

“Yes, after the huge scandal she caused, Uncle could think of nothing he’d like more than for her to stay in South Korea forever. Uncle has just been promoted to bureau chief, and the guests tonight are all relatives. Not to mention, there are also leaders from the bureau and the city, how could he possibly let Yanyan show up at a time like this? Wouldn’t that be a discredit to him?”

Su Wanwan agreed, “That makes sense.”

Su Yuntang was very much concerned about his face.

When he was about to get into politics, he was able to agree to Xing Yuyun’s divorce conditions unconditionally.

Now that he has just been promoted to bureau chief, he definitely cannot allow anything to affect his image as a bureau chief.

“Alright then, why don’t you bring Mr. Huo home in the afternoon? After all, we are all family and it would be improper not to go home during the New Year, right?”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan had a clear understanding in her heart.

Ever since she found out that Qiao Zixin had been secretly eyeing Huo Jingshen, after the wedding, all the eerie behaviors of her cousin seemed to be explained.

Ha, sigh.

And now, she was still calling her frequently, sparing no effort to meet her, she must have some wicked plan.

However…

Su Wanwan’s beautiful phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light.

Want to calculate me?

I’m afraid that in the end, you will only harm yourself!

When Su Wanwan came downstairs, Grandmother Huo was instructing the maids to prepare gift boxes.

Seeing Su Wanwan, she said, “Wanwan, today Qinyu and others plan to go home for the day. I have already made a reservation at a restaurant. We’ll all go out for lunch together.”

“Sure.”

“By the way, these things here, your grandfather and I bought them. Let Ashen take them later,” Grandmother Huo pat Su Wanwan’s hand. “We have dinner with the Ming family tonight, so we won’t be attending your father’s celebration dinner. Ashen will take you home for a while, is that okay?”

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Jingshen, “Are we going back to the Su family today?”

He hadn’t mentioned this to her before.

Grandmother Huo immediately said, “I know you don’t want to go back, but it’s the New Year. Ashen needs to take you home for a visit. Don’t worry, with Ashen accompanying you, no one in the Su family dares to bully you.”

Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh, “Grandma, you think too much. No one bullies me.”

Grandmother Huo also laughed, “You always keep the sorrow to yourself and only share the good news.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

She was not the type to keep sorrows to herself and only share the good news.

Because, even if she was bullied, it was in the past. Now, who would dare bully her?

They had lunch at a well-known Jiangnan Restaurant in Nancheng, which catered specifically to the taste of Jiangnan cuisine.

According to the custom in Nancheng, the daughters who had married would return to their parents’ home on the second day of the New Year. As the standard of living improved, more and more families would dine out during the New Year.

On the one hand, it was convenient. On the other hand, it was also a way to save face.

So the restaurant business was abnormally hot during the New Year, and it was always bustling with people.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the men went to park the cars while the women walked in first.

Grandmother Huo instructed Huo Zhexi to help Grandfather Huo walk slowly into the restaurant.

Mingzhu and Su Wanwan followed them from behind.

The entire family, all strikingly handsome, attracted attention wherever they went.

Just as they reached the second floor, they bumped into an old acquaintance.

“Oh, Elder Huo, you’re dining here today? And who is this?” The elderly lady with rosy complexion and white hair eyed Su Wanwan with a mix of curiosity and admiration.

“This is my granddaughter-in-law, Wanwan. How is she? Pretty, isn’t she?” Elder Huo immediately began to show off.

Today, Su Wanwan wore a bright yellow blouse with blue jeans. Her hair was done up in a flower bud bun, which made her look lithe and lovely. Her beautiful, bare face was snow-white and flawless, devoid of any pores or wrinkles.

God, to be young is indeed wonderful.

The old lady nodded approvingly, “Beautiful, truly beautiful, Ashen is one lucky guy.”

“Hahaha.” Elder Huo could hardly contain her laughter, “Wanwan, this is your grandma Nangong.”

Su Wanwan immediately greeted her sweetly, “Hello, Grandma Nangong, Happy New Year.”

“Ah, such a sweet little mouth.” While saying this, Nangong Grandma unexpectedly pulled out a large red envelope, “Here, this is for you!”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

Holy cow!

A red envelope for just saying Happy New Year!

But she was a little hesitant to accept it.

Elder Huo laughed and said, “Go ahead, take it. Your grandma Nangong has plenty of money.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

With a smile, she finally accepted the red envelope, “Thank you, Grandma Nangong.”

“How is your son Aci doing?” Elder Huo chose to stir another talk.

Then.

“Ah, don’t get me started. He’s such an adult now, but he’s never had a girlfriend. He’s still a virgin!”

“Hahaha.” Elder Huo immediately laughed heartily, “He needs more introductions, your Aci is too introverted!”

Su Wanwan chuckled so she had to cover her mouth.

Nangong Ci introverted?

Oh my God!

However, Nangong Grandma directly looked at Su Wanwan, “My dear, do you have any friends you can introduce to my Aci? He’s introverted, shy, and doesn’t like to talk much. I’m getting anxious day by day.”

Su Wanwan nods, trying to hold back her laughter, “Okay.”

“That’s great! Here, let’s exchange WeChat contacts, and we can talk more about it later.” Nangong Grandma didn’t hesitate to pull out her phone.

The daughter-in-law standing by could only silently pray for her son.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the old lady was finally led away by her daughter-in-law.

As they entered the private room, Huo Juncheng’s family had already taken their seats.

Aside from Huo Nuanyang who had returned to the army early this morning, Huo Zhexi sat between his parents. Dressed in a suit and flaunting flaming red hair, he looked quite flamboyant.

His expression, however, was somewhat impatient, as if he was being lectured.

Upon the arrival of the guests, Mingzhu immediately stood up to greet everyone.

“When will Qinyu and the others arrive?” Elder Huo asked.

“They said they are on the way but got stuck in traffic.” Mingzhu replied. She then got up, picked up the teapot and started to pour tea for everyone.

Huo Zhexi took a look around, stealthily pulled out his phone.

Before he could play for long, Mingzhu suddenly walked over, snatched his phone and put it in her pocket.

“Mom, why do you need my phone?” Huo Zhexi was alarmed.

Mingzhu’s face was coldly beautiful, “We’re dining together with grandpa and grandma today. No phones.”

“Why are you interfering with me playing with my phone! How old do you think I am? Mom, can’t you stop treating me like a kid? Mom? Mom?”

Mingzhu completely ignored him.

Huo Zhexi was distressed.

He had sent so many messages on New Year’s Eve, and it was already today, but Bai Ruwei hadn’t replied.

And now his phone had been confiscated, and in front of so many people, it was really embarrassing.

He looked at Su Wanwan, and sure enough, the darn girl was having a blast.

God damn it!

Huo Zhexi gritted his teeth, feeling incredibly aggrieved about this New Year.

Not long after, Huo Qinyu’s family stepped into the private room, led by Huo Jingshen.

As she saw Xing Yuyun, who she hadn’t seen for months, following at the back, Su Wanwan was slightly taken aback but quickly averted her gaze.

On the contrary, it was Xing Yuyun who seemed somewhat excited.

Looking at Su Wanwan, he felt that the girl had changed a bit over the past few months he hadn’t seen her.
