Chapter 179 - Suffer A Silent Defeat
However, Sun Xiangxiang was still a little worried that Huo Xuan would really care about Yan Jinyu. Hence, not only was he Yin Jiujin's opponent in the business world, but he even would try to snatch his fiancée from him.
If there was really a head in the Huo Family who would snatch someone else's fiancée, then…
No, no way.
Sun Xiangxiang hurriedly interrupted Huo Xuan, who was staring at Yan Jinyu, "Xuan'er, lead your sister and Jinyu to the dining room first."
Huo Xuan didn't notice that it was a silent interruption.
"Mom and Dad should go over too. I'll keep an eye on here," Huo Sisi suddenly said. It seemed like she had calmed down.
"I'll get the servants to clean up the place. Mom, don't do it yourself next time. You really frightened me just now."
After saying that, she even heaved a sigh of relief, looking like she was indeed frightened.
Sun Xiangxiang smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, alright. Mom won't do it next time. I'll let the servants do it. All of you, didn't I simply smash a plate? Why are you all making such a fuss?"
"It's lucky that Mom isn't injured. How can you say that it's a big deal?"
As she spoke, Huo Sisi looked at Huo Xuan and said gently, "Brother."
Huo Xuan simply flicked a glance at her and then ignored her.
He looked at Yan Jinyu, "Eldest Miss Yan, this way please."
After saying that, he walked past Huo Sisi. Just as Huo Sisi's expression was about to change, Huo Siyu, who had followed Huo Xuan over, stopped beside Huo Sisi. "You've worked very hard."
Huo Sisi gritted her teeth!
However, she still had to smile because Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang were watching!
"It's nothing. It's what I should do."
Just wait and see!
This kind of life would definitely not last long!
No matter if it was Yan Jinyu or Huo Siyu, she would chase them out of the Huo Family!
***
In the dining room, they sat down one after another.
Huo Siyu sat down beside Yan Jinyu. As soon as she sat down, Huo Siyu moved her stool closer to Yan Jinyu and even bumped her with her shoulder.
Yan Jinyu looked at her, and Huo Siyu smiled smugly at Yan Jinyu. It seemed like she wanted Yan Jinyu to praise her.
With someone else around, Yan Jinyu couldn't say anything. She could only return her smile helplessly.
Huo Siyu also knew that with others around, it was not good to reveal too much. Otherwise, her previous actions which did not match her character would be wasted.
In reality, the so-called inappropriate actions were only what Huo Siyu felt. In Yan Jinyu's opinion, Huo Siyu, who said soft words to Sun Xiangxiang, was the real Huo Siyu. After all, Huo Siyu had acted coyly in front of her many times.
Huo Xuan, who was sitting opposite them, saw their interaction.
Huo Xuan looked at them deeply and was even more certain that they hadn't just met recently.
At the dining table, Huo Lin sat at the head of the table. Huo Siyu and Sun Xiangxiang sat on both sides of the table. Huo Xuan was beside Sun Xiangxiang, and Yan Jinyu was beside Huo Siyu.
In that case, Yan Jinyu was sitting opposite Huo Xuan.
However, the Huo Family's dining table was similar to the Huo Family's mansion. It was very luxurious and big, so although they were sitting opposite each other, they were actually not close to each.
Sun Xiangxiang asked Yan Jinyu to pick up her chopsticks and start eating. Yan Jinyu didn't say that she wanted to wait for Huo Sisi to join them either.
They ate for about 10 minutes before Huo Sisi came over.
Seeing the seating, Huo Sisi stopped in her tracks.
At first, there was anger in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated. Instead, her eyes lit up.
She walked straight to the seat beside Huo Xuan.
However, just as she was about to sit down, Huo Siyu spoke, "Huo Sisi, I'm sorry. I took your seat. I'll make way for you."
As she spoke, she was about to stand up with the bowl in her hand when Huo Xuan stopped her. "Make way? How can you make way in the middle of your meal? Sit down."
Glancing at the seat beside Yan Jinyu, Huo Xuan didn't look at Huo Sisi and simply said, "You sit in that seat."
How could someone as smart as Huo Xuan not sense what Huo Sisi was thinking about?
This was the main reason why he hated Huo Sisi.
There was no such thing as an adopted daughter marrying the head of the family in the Huo Family. In his opinion, Huo Sisi was just muddle-headed and greedy.
If Huo Sisi knew her place, why would Huo Xuan care about her? The Huo Family didn't lack the money to support an additional person.
Huo Sisi, who was about to sit down, froze.
Her body was stiff, and her expression was stiff too.
Her body was stiff, and her expression was stiff.
Actually, Huo Siyu did it on purpose.
When she sat down, her parents did not say anything. This meant that in their subconsciousness, this seat was not exclusive to Huo Sisi. Then, how could her parents not have anything against Huo Sisi when she waited for her to come?
The Huo Family still had Beauty Yu as their guest.
Moreover, she was the biological daughter of the Huo Family, and she had only softened her attitude to get close to her mother 10 minutes ago…
Or rather one should say she had just got closer to the Huo Family.
They were happy and were standing on her side.
As she thought about it, Huo Siyu suddenly felt that she had the potential to be a hypocritical fake too.
She would strike while the iron was hot.
"Why don't I give the seat to you? This is your seat anyway."
"What's your seat and my seat? Just sit down and eat. Why do you have to change seats midway? Our Huo Family doesn't have such rules," Huo Lin said.
"Sisi, sit beside Jinyu," Sun Xiangxiang said.
Her attitude was not bad, and her tone was not bad either. It was her usual tone and attitude when she spoke to Huo Sisi. However, Huo Sisi was extremely angry when she heard that. She felt that Sun Xiang no longer treated her as her daughter.
"Dad, Mom, I'll sit here." Looking at the elegant man sitting at the side, Huo Sisi could not hide the infatuation in her eyes.
Yan Jinyu, who was sitting opposite Huo Xuan, happened to notice it.
She raised her eyebrows.
Oh dear, she seemed to have discovered something incredible.
She had to work harder to stir up more trouble.
She kicked Huo Siyu under the table.
Huo Siyu looked at her, and Yan Jinyu glanced at her before turning her gaze to Huo Xuan and Huo Sisi. Then, she winked at Huo Siyu.
Huo Siyu didn't understand why Yan Jinyu kicked her at first. After Yan Jinyu's action, she saw Huo Sisi staring at Huo Xuan.
She instantly understood.
There was naturally shock, but there was more anger than shock.
However, Huo Siyu did not show it and hid her anger. Just as Sun Xiangxiang was about to speak, she spoke first. She chuckled and pretended to speak casually, "Huo Sisi, the seat beside my brother is reserved for my sister-in-law. As his sister, it's not appropriate for you to sit beside my brother, right?"
"Why are you glaring at me? Am I wrong? Or do you want to take over the position that belongs to my sister-in-law? Oh my god, how can the Huo Family face anybody if our adopted daughter becomes our daughter-in-law?"
Did Huo Sisi glare at her?
She had the final say.
Then, she said to Sun Xiangxiang with a shocked expression, "Mom, we didn't have such a precedent in our Huo Family, right? I grew up overseas and don't know much about the rules in the country, but even if I don't, I've never heard of any adopted daughter becoming a daughter-in-law after raising her up, especially someone like our Huo Family."
