Chapter 206 - Seeing the Parents"Where is it that I want to argue with him? Didn't you see that he came looking for me? " Huo Xi Wen frowned.
"Even so, do not quarrel with him. Moreover, what he said this time was not without reason. If the Zhang Family was really as he said, and wanted to find a backer, then they wanted to form an alliance with the Huo Family. "How about this, I will send someone to investigate the Zhang Family's situation." Assistant Sun said.
Huo Xi Wen herself knew that it was impossible for him to marry Zhang Jun Xian. The two had agreed that they would only pretend to be lovers, so she naturally felt that there was no need to go through so much effort to investigate this matter.
However, if he did not nod and was afraid of others worrying him, he only had to agree and say, "If you want to investigate, then go and investigate."
"Alright, Miss Huo, then don't be angry, I will go out first."
Huo Xi Wen waved her hand, "Go."
That night, when Huo Xi Wen returned home, she heard her mother talk about the matter of the Zhang Family elders meeting and eating dinner. Although she promised on the surface, she did not really care about it.
Returning to her room and preparing to charge her phone, she found that inside the bag that Fu Mu Yun had given her, the handkerchief was still lying quietly. The blood that was on it had already dried up and turned dark brown.
She took the handkerchief out and went into the bathroom. After washing it with cold water for a while, she found that the blood on it was not washed clean. She poured detergent on it and rubbed it vigorously, but there was still a faint yellow stain on it.
At this time, the servant A Xia carried the folded clothes and sent them into the bedroom.
Seeing Huo Xi Wen washing things in the bathroom, she curiously stretched her head over, "Miss, what are you washing?""Handkerchief, I don't know why but I can't wash it properly." Huo Xi Wen frowned, rubbing his handkerchief, and retorted.
Hearing that, A Xia walked in and saw that a silk handkerchief was almost deformed by her washing. She immediately went forward and took the handkerchief, and said: "Miss, this piece of cloth cannot be washed like you."
"If I don't do it like this, then how am I supposed to do it?" Huo Xi Wen looked at her with a puzzled expression.
A Xia used water to rinse the foam on the handkerchief clean, "What kind of stain is on it?""Blood." Huo Xi Wen replied.
"Oh, that's easy to wash. You don't have any special detergent here. How about this, I'll take it to the laundry and help you wash it clean before sending it up." A Xia said.
"Alright, then I'll be troubling you, A Xia.""Miss, what are you saying? These are things that I should have done anyway." A Xia giggled, then took the handkerchief and left the room.
Huo Xi Wen stared blankly at the water that was continuously flowing out from the faucet, when suddenly she felt that she was somewhat funny.She did not know why she cared so much about the handkerchief.
Wouldn't it be fine to throw it away if it was dirty?
Fu Mu Yun probably hoped that she would throw away her handkerchief.When A Xia returned after leaving for half an hour, her handkerchief had already been washed clean and was emitting a faint fragrance.
He handed over the handkerchief to Huo Xi Wen, "It's already dried, and already ironed. You used too much force before, so some parts of it became deformed, but I helped you iron it properly, so it can't really be that big anymore. The next time the handkerchief is dirty, you can just put it in the laundry basket. I will help you wash it off, but don't do it yourself. "
Huo Xi Wen took the handkerchief and looked at it over and over again, making sure that there was not even a speck of dirt on it. She then looked at A Xia with gratitude, "A Xia, thank you.""Don't stand on ceremony with me." After A Xia heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed.
"Oh right, these days I've been busy with company matters. Do you know how my mother is? Are you in a good mood? " Huo Xi Wen pulled A Xia and sat on the sofa as he poured her a cup of tea and asked.
A Xia took the tea and held it in her hand, replying, "Madam seems to be in a good mood these few days, the young master of Zhang family would call home to greet you everyday, madam really likes him a lot."
"What?" You said that Zhang Jun Xian calls my mother every day? " Huo Xi Wen was surprised to hear this.
"What is it? Don't you know? "Mr. Zhang said that you often said in front of him that you were worried that your wife would be so bored that no one would chat with her at home. That's why you called every day to greet him." A Xia said.
Huo Xi Wen was a little confused. What the hell was this Zhang Jun Xian doing?When had she told him about her family?
Didn't they agree to pretend to be lovers? But what Zhang Jun Xian was doing now, wasn't it a little beyond the range of his fake boyfriend?
Although she couldn't figure out what Zhang Jun Xian was playing, she couldn't show it in front of him. Hence, she could only laugh, "Oh, right, I did tell him about it, but I didn't expect him to remember it."
"That's right. I feel that Mr. Zhang is very concerned about his wife. She also likes Mr. Zhang quite a lot. She would like him to be her son-in-law immediately." A Xia said as she looked at Huo Xi Wen with a smile, "Miss, are you prepared to become a new bride?""Eh …" Of course she didn't, "A Xia, my mom is worried, why do you want to chase me away like this as well?"
"No, A Xia does not have the qualifications to kick you out, A Xia is just like her wife, I hope that Miss has a good home."
"Alright, alright, I got it. You're still so young, so don't try to imitate my mom. A woman is not married, she is married. "In the future, you will understand that if you do not like the person, no matter how outstanding he is or how much you marry him, you will not feel especially happy."Miss, are you talking about Mr. Su? At this time, A Xia very naturally thought of Su Chen Hao.
"No, oh, okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. You should go down and busy yourself. Tomorrow, didn't my mom invite people from the Zhang family to dinner? "You should come with me. Remember to wear beautiful clothes. If you don't have beautiful clothes, you can come to my room to pick them up." Huo Xi Wen realised that the more he talked, the more confused he became, so he changed the topic and told her."I can't wear your clothes. You don't have such a good figure." A Xia stood up from the sofa and joked, "Moreover, tomorrow is your ugly wife seeing her in-laws. If I dress up too beautifully, won't I steal your limelight? Won't Madame scold me when the time comes? I'm not that stupid. "
"Little girl, you sure are confident." Huo Xi Wen could not help but laugh."I learned that from you. I won't disturb your rest any longer, so I'll be going down first. You've been tired all day, so go to sleep early. " A Xia turned and left after he finished speaking.
After A Xia left, Huo Xi Wen once again picked up the handkerchief in her hands. Holding onto the two horns on the handkerchief, she leaned her head against the back of the sofa and covered her face with the handkerchief.Su Chen Hao, didn't you want me to give up on you?
I will do it, I can do it!The next night, 7: 30 PM.
Inside the luxurious private room of the Lilyflower Hotel, Mrs. Howe Zhou Wan Ru had an apologetic smile on his face as he looked at the Zhang family elder and Zhang Jun Xian's mother, Yu Cui Lan."I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang. My family's Xiwen has always been punctual, and today, she might have been delayed because of some matter."
Mrs. Zhang's expression was slightly unhappy, but he did not say anything.On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang nodded his head vigorously, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Howe doesn't need to mind, it is normal for XIwen to be a little busy with such a large company, being in charge of it at such a young age."
"Yes, Aunty, you don't have to apologize. We're not hungry anyway." Zhang Jun Xian also politely agreed.
They were acting like this, causing Zhou Wan Ru to feel even more guilty. She turned her head to look at A Xia who was standing behind him, and quietly ordered, "Give the young miss a call again, see where she has gone to, and how long until she arrives."
"Alright." A Xia promised as she quietly walked out of the box and went outside to make a phone call.
At this time, because Huo Xi Wen was hosting a very important meeting, she left her house a little too late. In the end, she caught up to the peak of the night and was stuck on the road, unable to move.
A Xia called and she quickly answered it, "It's already on the road, stop rushing it, it's a traffic jam, I'm even more anxious than you."
"Miss, please think of a way to hurry over. Madam has already apologized to her several times. That old lady's expression isn't looking too good." A Xia reported truthfully.
"Got it. Got it. Tell them I'm stuck on the road. Let them eat first. Don't wait for me.""Well, I'll tell the lady." A Xia knew that there was nothing anyone could do about the traffic jam, so he hung up the phone and returned to the private room.
He entered the private box to see that Zhou Wan Ru was talking about the two children with Mrs. Zhang, the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious, so he walked to his side and reported in a neither high nor low voice, "Madam, the young miss is already on her way here, but it's probably the peak hour of her work right now, so there was a bit of a traffic jam on her way, thus delaying time. She said to let everyone eat first, so there's no need to wait for her.
Hearing that, Zhou Wan Ru looked up at Mrs. Zhang, "Old granny, our family's Xunwen is on his way, the road is not too good, why don't we let the waiter serve the dishes first, we can eat and wait.""No rush, Mrs. Howe, since the Miss Huo is already on the road, I don't think it will take too long even if there is a traffic jam, didn't my grandson say that earlier? We're not hungry, we can afford to wait. " Although her words were said as such, anyone who heard it would be able to tell that there was a trace of anger within her words.
What she said made Zhou Wan Ru feel awkward, but in the end, she was still a wealthy lady who had seen a lot of people. She had interacted with people like the Mrs. Zhang before, so she was not afraid of her.With a fitting smile on her face, she sighed, "Speaking of which, it's also my fault, the appointed time is not right, it just happened to be Friday night, we, Xi Wen, are already busy with our daily work, and tomorrow is the weekend, so we have to report back to her about this week's events in various departments, so we will be even busier than usual. I forgot that... "
