“Knock, knock, knock!” Old Madam Huo knocked on the door a few times, “Old man, I’m giving you five more minutes to finish your conversation. Hurry up and bring out Ashen for dinner!”
11 II
When she turned around again, old Master Huo had already regained his composure, “I ask you, how old is this Su Wanwan this year?’
“She just turned 20 today.”
Old Master Huo almost lost his temper again.
A damn thirty-year-old man acting ridiculously smitten with a twenty-year-old girl. He indeed inherited his father’s unprincipled character! Seduced by beauty!
“Although she is only twenty.” There was a hint of teasing in Huo Jingshen’s eyes, “She is already very mature for her age.”
Old Master Huo didn’t detect any undertone in his words, only replied, “After that, let Qinyu give her some education. Now that she is prepared to join the Huo family as a daughter-in-law, she must understand some basic etiquette.”
Huo Jingshen was noncommittal.
“Moreover, there’s no need to rush the wedding.” Old Master Huo advised, “She is still young, you have just returned to the country not long ago, the group hasn’t stabilized, and your career should be the priority. Put your personal relationship on hold; you two can continue dating for now…”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
II II
Old Master Huo was breathing heavily, looking quite aggravated.
As an elder, he believed he had made a significant concession.
Huo Jingshen said, “A reporter came to interview at the Su family house earlier.
As of now, probably everyone in Nancheng knows about my wedding.”
Old Master Huo was speechless,”…”

Dining room.
Huo family was using a Chinese-style round table for their dining, Su Wanwan was asked to sit next to the old madam, while Huo Zhexi sat across from her, glaring at her with murderous eyes.
Su Wanwan felt that this younger brother was somewhat childish.
Soon, the last dish was served by the servant, and Old Master Huo and Huo Jingshen had wrapped up their conversation, leisurely entering the dining room.
Huo Jingshen directly sat next to Su Wanwan, while Old Master Huo took his place at the head of the table.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s eat.”
After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, everyone started eating. Other than the sounds of bowls and chopsticks, it was unexpectedly quiet with no one speaking a word.
Su Wanwan bowed her head, about to lift a chopstick of rice…
“Wanwan, have some fish soup first, it’s good for a woman’s body.” Old Madam Huo said, placing a bowl of fish soup in front of Su Wanwan.
“Thank you, grandma.” Su Wanwan put down the chopsticks, just about to take the spoon…
“Try the sweet and sour pork ribs, it’s Yunxiu’s specialty.” After Old Madam Huo finished speaking, she gestured to Huo Jingshen, “Ashen, hurry up and serve your wife some food.”
Huo Jingshen stood up, reached across the table, and brought back the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs that was in front of Huo Zhexi.
Huo Zhexi protested, “Big brother, I haven’t eaten yet!
“Respect your elders.” Huo Jingshen didn’t even glance at him, “When your sister-in-law finishes eating, you can eat.”
Damn it! Huo Zhexi couldn’t bear such injustice and shouted on the spot, “This is too much! Grandma, look at big brother, he…”
“Bang!” Old Master Huo hit his chopsticks abruptly, “If you don’t want to eat, get lost!”
Huo Zhexi immediately wilted, hanging his head and daring not make another fuss.
Su Wanwan was also somewhat scared by this. However, Old Madam Huo was laughing, “Wanwan, hurry up and taste the pork ribs.”
“…Okay.”
The meal was finally over, taken in tense silence.
Aside from Huo Zhexi who had tension with her, Old Master Huo who was too stern, Old Madam Huo seemed to be quite approachable. She didn’t possess the shrewdness and malice of the matriarchs in TV dramas. Her warmth… caught her off guard.
Returning to the living room, Huo Jingshen picked up the car keys, “We have things to do, we’ll leave first.”
“It’S only two o’clock. Isn’t your flight in the evening? Where are you rushing to?” Old Madam Huo was displeased. She hadn’t had the chance to chat with her granddaughter-in-law yet.
Huo Jingshen was very confident, “I am going to get the marriage certificate with my wife.”
Su Wanwan:”…”

Su’s villa.
The sound of a delicate woman’s voice came from the partially closed
bathroom on the first floor.
“Brother Yun, I wronged you. I didn’t know that my sister and your cousin were together. I won’t be angry with you anymore, can you forgive me?
“It’s not me you should be apologizing to.”
“I know, I wronged my sister. I shouldn’t have mentioned what was on the newspaper today. I will apologize to her right away.” Su Yanyan spoke humbly, “Brother Yun, from now on I will listen to you, we…
“Tomorrow, I will personally mention the cancellation of our engagement to my grandparents.” Xing Yuyun said coldly before pulling the door open and leaving.
Su Yanyan was startled and quickly followed.
Once outside, however, she was stopped by Jiang Yi, “Yanyan, calm down.” “Mom, I’ve apologized to Brother Yun, why does he still want to cancel our engagement? The wedding invitations have been sent out. All our friends and relatives know about it. If I’m really dumped now, I’ll be the laughingstock of everyone!”
-All right, don’t make a fuss.” Jiang Yi lowered her voice, “I’ve already talked to your Aunt Huo. She will persuade Yuyun. Don’t push him too hard for now…” “But he mentioned going to Xing Grandpa and Xing Grandma!” Su Yanyan interrupted tearfully.
She had previously thought, it was just Xing Yuyun throwing a tantrum, so she didn’t take it to heart. But if it really got to Xing Family’s elders, there would probably be no room for maneuvering anymore.
It wasn’t until then that Jiang Yi realized the seriousness of the situation. She was about to speak when the maid’s voice cut in.
“Madam, someone is here to see the master.”
The study door swung open, Su Yuntang’s brows knit tightly, “Who are you?” “Mr. Su, hello, my name is Ji Jie and I’m Mr. Huo’s assistant.” Ji Jie introduced himself, pulling out a business card, “Mr. Huo asked me to come pickup Ms. Su’s personal belongings.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuntang immediately ordered the maid, “You go upstairs, pack up that wretch’s stuff and let him take it all.”
“…Yes, sir.”
“Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Su.” Ji Jie added, “We also need your help to provide the household register. Mr. Huo said it is needed for the marriage certificate.” Su Yuntang became even more impatient, “Go get the household register too.” Behind him, Su Yanyan’s face suddenly changed, “Mom, is Su Wanwan really going to marry into the Huo family…”
“Don’t say it.”
Jiang Yi’s eyes warned her against it, especially since there were outsiders present.
Su Yanyan bit her lip, her heart was itching uncomfortably like it was being tickled by countless ants.
Everything had been planned originally. She snatched Xing Yuyun, Su Wanwan got dumped, and was laughed at by everyone. How come now…
She was the one being dumped?
And Su Wanwan was going to marry into the Huo family?
No!
She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!
